HARRIS VS.. HANNA.

The ship-subsidy bill is being discussed in
Golfers Weekly by Senator Harris, OF Kansas,
and Senator Hanna, of Ohio. Of coulse, Hanna
defends the measure Why shouldn't be? 1t
is his pet measure. 1t would put many dollars
into his pocket. Senator Harris says of it,,
among other things:
"The bill is a glaring example of class legis-
lation. Should it become law, the discrimi-
nation in favor of the fast passenger steamers
would benefit over 81, 100000 annually one
we'll known and old and prosperous line, which
already receives from the government nearly
& per cent yearly on capital of $Io, 5000, 900,
not counting its earnings from other sources.
This same company, under the provisions OF
this bill, would obtain from the government in
twenty years twice the original cost of all its
fast passenger steamers"

NEW POSTMASTER. GENERAL.

Postmaster General Smith has resigned, and
Henry c. Payne, of Wisconsin, Mark Hanna S
right-hand man, has been appointed.
Payne has at last reached the goal of his am
bition. He wanted the place when President
Arthur reorganized the cabinet, but failed to
get it. He tried to get 10 under Harrison, but
failed. He then tried Mckinley, but such a
roar went up from the decent Republicans of
Wisconsin that Mckinley refused to appoint
him. But Roosevelt gave him the place.
The New York World gives little of Payne's
history, as follows:
For fifteen years Mr.. Payne has been notori-
ously corporation man." 1t was he who
built up the Wisconsin Republican machine on
the corporation lines that have made it so
offensive to the people of that State and have
resulted in revolt of the "decent element" as
represented by Gov. La Toilette. He was post
master OF Milwaukee from 1872 to 1886, and in
that position made himself strong by the most
practical kind of practical poitics-the Platt-
Croker kind, which President Roosevelt pecul-
iarly abhors.
Mr.. Payne, curiously enough, wished to be
postmaster-general when Arthur reorganized
the Garfield cabinet, and almost got the place.
was first elected He was very conspicuous and
active in that campaign as handler of the
Hanna Doodle tunds.' But he had become so
offensive to Northwestern Republicans that Mr..
Mckinley refused him.
In the sixteen years between these two at
tempts he had been most active as franchise.
hunting streetrailway man, as Bell telephone
monopoly man, as legislative lobbyist and as
one of the receivers of the Northern Pacific.
President Brayton Ives, of that road, charged
him and his associates with gross misconduct in
office and with endeavoring to throw" the
road to the Hill interests. After an inscrutable
tange, the road finally passed to Hill-the
lanes J. Hill Of the Northern Securities Com
pany.
Mr.. Payne peculiarly represents commercial
politics and political commerce. 1t would be
difficult to conceive man whose character and
conduct are more absolutely at war with the
ideals which Mr.. Roosevelt processes and which
the people believe him to cherish. 1t is COM
prehensible only upon the theory that the
president is constructing political machine of
his own and desires to have the postoffice de-
partment in the expert hands of his chief en-
gineer.
The appointment will shock the Northwest,
and as the people of the rest of the country
grasp its apparent significance it will amaz
and gravely disappoint them.

THE SChLEY VERDICT.
[Continued from first page.

General Thomas disobeyed Grants orders
several times cut Grant, instead of seeking his
ruin, loved him like brother aid commended
him to the government. Sheridan and Sherman
disobeyed orders from Halleck.
Grant cut loose from his base at Vicksburg
as much to escape orders from Washington as
for any other reason. And before orders arrived
he had fought in rapid succession Port Gibson,
Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hill and Big
Diack-battles which never would have been
won had he waited for orders which commanded
him to report to that politician, Banks, who
was playing soldier further down the river. All
these men fought for their country, and as often
as they won victories were promoted.
This case of Schley's is probably the first in.
stance in all time where government officials
have sought to dishonor one who periodically
and VIGOROUSLY served their country. And
this could never have been attempted by officials
who were not recreant to the very spirit of
liberty IN which our country was born. You
see, to these base wretcnes, one so modest,
valorous and patriotic as Schley seemed CON.

fraud him of his well-earned laurels.
Sometimes it is wise and patriotic to disobey
orders.

SOME of Senator Harris friends tried to
start gubernatoral boom for him, but he says
he is not candidate for governor, but will be

ticket Senator Harris is very useful member
of the senate. This is acknowledged even by
his political enemies.

THE littleness of some of the men at the head
of the nation is exhibited in the attempted pun

this government are 10 be sent to England to
attend the coronation of King Edward. 1t was
the intention to send Dewey, with his ship, the
Olympia, as the head of the navy, and General
Miles, as the head of The army. This is all
changed since Dewey rendered an opinion in
favor of Schey and Miles conceded with
Dewey. President Roosevelt has concluded
that they shall not go, but their places must be
taken by inferior officers. If this is not small
business, we don't know what to call it.

DISGRACEFUL.

The Schley- Sampson affair has aroused the
people of the nation, and it has brought about
disgraceful state of affairs Two members of
the court of inquiry, who had never seen a
naval fight and knew nothing about it, decided
against the brave Admiral Schley, while Ad-
miral Dewey, who won the greatest naval VIC
tory on record, decided in Schley's favor. This
did not suit the administration, whose pet was
Sampson, and President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Long are mad at Dewey.
The people of the nation are with Schley,
however. They know who won the victory at
Santiago, and they give Schley the honor.
Many leading men of the nation are also with
Schley, and they do not hesitate to denounce
the findings of the two inexperienced men who
decided against Schley.
Among the prominent men who denounce
this verdict is General Miles, veteran of forty
years service, who was serving his country
when Theodore Roosevelt was still in swaddling
clothes; and yet, General Miles is denounced
bv Roosevelt, who ordered Secretary Long,
another man of no experience, to publicly
chastise General Miles for expressing his opn-
ion of the matter--because his opinion was in
opposition to the opinion of Roosevelt and
Long. 1t is even broadly limited that Miles
may be asked to resign. The fact is, General
Miles has been thorn in the flesh of a lot of
tin soldiers for years, and the administration
has been try ing to find some excuse to get rid
of him. They could not find a legal excuse,
but now he has made technical error, and
they are bound to embrace the opportunity.
Senator Teller denounces the whole affair as
disgraceful. General Sickles stands with Schley
and with Miles. Senator Mason, of Illinois, is
in sympathy with both, and he says congress
will give Schley vote of thanks for his
bravery, and will give him sword like
Dewey's, and make him rear admiral. These
are only few of the many whose sympathy is
with the real heroes of the navy and the army.
When Dewey sunk the Spanish fleet in Ma
Mia bay, everybody shouted his praises. The
administration showered eucomiuns upon him.
He was the worlds greatest hero. Now that
he has become Schley's champion, he is be-
meaned by the small-calibered politicians who
wish to curry favor with the powers that be at
Washington.

he was lauded to the skies by the people, who
still honor him for his great achievement. The
administration gave him due praise until the
Jealous Sampson, the pet of the administration,
set up a roar, and then tine tables were turned
Ever since, Schley has been besmeared and
abused by the administration and its lick
spittles.
Notwithstanding the action of Roosevelt and
Long, the people will continue to praise Schley
In the minds of the masses, he has been fully
exonerated. He can stand the sights OF the
administrator and so can General Miles.
