 Senator Senator Wellington in
 Wellington. this national mourn ing over a dead President has been making spectacle of himself that is neither creditable to himself nor an honor to humanity. He is reported to have said immediately after the as- sault on the President when ap. preached by newspaper reporters: ''I have nothing to say, Mckinley and l are enemies. He has been guilty of unpardOnable offence toward me. l cannot say nything good for him, and do not think it is just time to say anything bad. despise the man. I have no use for him and there is no reason for my saying anything. 1 am totally indifferent in the matter" His utterance has cost the Senator his membership in the Union League club of Maryland, and if his election was at hand would cost him his seat in the Senate. Such bitterness of hatred is more like that of a brute than of man, and the people of Mary land will do we'll to paste this utter ance in their hats for reference on next election day.

The court has to do with Admiral Schley's action off Cienfuegos, his leaving Santiago un- guarded, and his maneuver of the bat tleship Brooklyn in describing the fla nous Hoop" during the battle of San tiago. There is no doubt but what there will be a dreary mass of details and charges and counter charges un- til the public will wish that the whole business was in the bottom of the sea- These petty quarrels between officers, whereby the battles are all fought over; again on paper, is folly of the worst kind. There was honor enough for all of the officers without fighting over it like dogs quarreling over a bone.
 The First It is said that Pe-
 Free terboro, N. H.,
