particular acts of Admiral Sampson
which distinguish him from his comrades
in the navy, the Times was compelled to
resort to disparagement of Schley to
make case. Not content with calling
Admiral Schley coward, and accusing
him of deliberately disobeying orders,
this champion of Sampson asserts that
Sehley bears the unique distinction of
being the only American officer alive who
ever showed the stern of war vessel
to an enemy in action
And that he ran out to sea beyond the
reach of the guns Of the Cristobal Colon.
Nothing seems to be too false or too vile
for the Times to insinuate Goaded to
exaggeration by the knowledge that he
was pleading in an unrighteous cause
the writer adopted the tactics of the adj.
vocate who. not only garbles testimony
but goes outside of the record to drag in
newspaper gossip to influence the jury.
This attack upon Admiral schley is
unworthy of place in the editorial
columns of a great public journal; it is
unworthy the cause of Admiral Samp-
son. Selfish and vainglorious as samp-
son has proved himself to be. he no
doubt is the possessor of too much man
hood 10 countenance such vile attack
upon gallant officer, though he be a
rival
Whom the gods would DESTROY thev
first make mad If the Times had any
influence with thinking people and those
who have the determination of the rel
alive positions of Sampson and Schley,
that influence has been lost. Reckless
abuse, with no foundation in fact, al
ways reacts upon the cause in which it
is employed. 1t is a confession of weak
ness understood by all men, No amount
of slanderous Misrepresentation heaped
upon Admiral Sampson could hurt his
cause so much as this unwarranted at
tack upon the man who, by seniority as
well as by meritorious conduct, stands
in the way of his ambitions
Sampson is, of course, not to blame
for the acts of his fool-friends He can
not control the insane rawlings of the
public press, that to curry favor with
the administration foolishly advocates
his cause by libefjng his rival But these
reckless defamers of a gallant officer
Of Admiral Schley resent the open in
suit both to him and to them and pre-
vent the advancement of the man in
whose interest they are disgracing them
selves and bringing contempt upon the
American navy.
Gen. Grant planned the campaign in
which the march to the sea- was one
feature, but Sherman was in command
and was given the glory of that master
ly military movement. Had Grant in
sisted upon the glory of that campaign,
because he had planned all it's details
he would have shown himself anything
but great of soul, however great of
mind In this controversy, the unpre-
JUDGED American demands only justice
to all concerned. There is glory enough
for all and as long as the friends of
Sampson insist on elevating him on the
ruins of the reputation of Admiral
schley, they will meer with deserved
failure. Such articles as that of the
Times are their own refutation
Should any one desire evidence to
prove why Sampson should not be pro-
NOTED over schley, let him read the
Times of Feb 16, 1901.

and his place was supplied by Judge
Hall. After reciting further facts
showing the judicial controversy
in Iowa over the question of voting
bonds for railroad purposes, the judge
says: Finally in the case Of the state
of Iowa. ex relatione v. Wapello
county, the court, now composed Of
Wright, Lowe and Baldwin, held
unanimously that the bonds were void
absolutely because their issue was in
violation of the constitution Of the
state of Iowa. The opinion in that
case delivered by Judge Lowe covers
the whole ground and after an exam
ination of all the previous cases, over
rules them all except Stokes v. Scott
county. 1t is exhausting, able and
conclusive, and after struggle of
seven or eight years in which this
question has always been before the
court and never considered as closed.
This case may now be considered as
finally settling the law on that sub
ject in the courts. Of Iowa. It has al
ready been repeated in several cases
not yet reported. It, is the first time
the question has been decided by
unanimous court. 1t is altogether i'm
probable that any serious effort will
ever be made to shake it's force in
that state, for Of the nine judges who
have occupied the bench while the
matter was in contest, but two have
ever expressed their appreciation Of

At last the truth is vindicated.

is entitled to great weight by reason
of his eminence and long career upon
the bench of the supreme court-his
great learning and ability as jurist
having won for him a place in judi
cial history next in rank to that Of
Chief Justice Marshall. This is also
a dissenting opinion and occupies
fourteen pages in 1st Wallace U. S.
Supreme Court Reports, page S07. It
sustains my opinion and shows con-
clusively that there was no authority,
under the then constitution of the
state of Iowa, for the people to vote
tax in aid Of private speculative en-
terprises. From this able opinion I
make the following extract:
"The question of the right of mu-
nicipal corporations TO- take stock in
railroad companies came before the
supreme court of Iowa for the first
time at the June term, A. d. 1863,
in the case Of Dubuque County v. the
Dubuque g. Pacific railroad company.
The majority Of the court, Kinney, J.
dissenting, affirmed the Judgment Of
the court below, and in SO doing,
must necessarily have held that mu-
nicipal corporations could take stock
in railroad enterprises. The opinions
Of the court were by law filed with
