1t is not pleasing to the American
people to have the high naval officers
in their employ behave like a lot of
school boys struggling for a reward
OF merit card and calling each other
names to get it. There was glory.
enough in the Santiago campaign for
all the officers and men OF the fleet.
The victory over Ceveria's fleet will
be known in history as Simpsons VIC
tory. He was the commanding officer
and whether the victory was due to his
judgment and foresight or not it is a
settled precedent that either the glory
OF victory or the disgrace OF defeat be-
longs to the highest officer in com
mand. Sometimes this works injustice
but it is essential to discipline as other
wise each officer would try to gain
fame for himself by acting in accord
ance with 8his own judgment rather
than in accordance with the comman-
der-in-chief. No one thinks the less of
Sheridan because he acted under orders
rom Grant and because to Grant is
given the chief honors for a campaign
in which Sheridan conducted many
brilliant operations. 1t would have
been better for the fame OF many of
these would-be naval heroes had they
died upon the scene Of their greatest
achievement than that they had been
spared to show to the world that after
all they are but very ordinary clay.
We know nothing OF the. merits of the
controversy between Sampson and
Schlev. 1t is natural to svnpathize
with the under dog in the fight and at
this time Schley seems to be the under
lying canine. Secretary Long has or
dered a court OF inquiry which should
get to the bottom OF the matter. In
the meantime the secretary should go a
step farther and make it an offense
punishable by dismissal for an officer
to give out any sort OF a newspaper
interview which reflects in any way up
on the efficiency. honor or integrity Of
another officer. The newspapers are
not proper tribunals. The naval regu-
lations indicate the proper methods by
which such complains can be made and
the honor OF the navy demands that
only the proper methods should be
need

that the Irish would be so greedy that
they would vote for none but Irish
men and that the Germans would be
equally as greedy and vote for none but
Germans. The Bulletin must certainly
have but a poor opinion oil the intelli-
gence and sense of fairness of the
democratic voters. 1t is time that this
question OF nationality should be
dropped from politics. There has been
too much OF this thing among all
parties OF giving an office to a man be-
cause he was a German or an Irish
man or a Swede. We are all American
citizens and the offices should go to
the best men regardless of nativity. We.
believe the democrats Of the county
have enough intelligence to be able to
select their Owl ticket without either
the Irish or the Germans trying to play
the hog. an amusing suggestion made
by the Bulletin is that the democrats
iced to have their ticket arranged.
Tor them. As we understand it that is
Just what many democrats are com
planning OF. There is too much .ar-s
ranging" and the ordinary, everyday
democrat who does not put in his DAYS
and nights trying to fix up a slate has
no show. This is all a democratic
funeral however, and the Review does
not intend to attempt to instruct demo-
cratic voters in regard to the matter.

In another column we reprint from
the Bulletin an open letter to the
democrats OF the county which has APP
peared in a number Of the county
newspapers. The Bulletin states that
the article was written by c. P. Har-
vey and handed to the Bulletin for
publication by Mr.. Phi. A. Schlumber-
ger, The Bulletin opposes the system
as might have been expected. The
reasons it gives are that the party is
doing we'll at present, that the primary
system is expensive. It's chief objec-
ton however. is most uncomplimen-
tary to the voters OF the democratic
party. The Bulletin states that on ac-
count of the fact that there are many
Germans and many Irish in the demo-
cratic party of the county it would be
unsafe to allow the voters to select
their candidates by ballot. 1t states

Few people, PROBABLY, appreciate
the Importance of the apple crop in
the United States. In value it exceeds
even the wheat crop. Last year, for
instance, the apple crop was 215,000,-
300 barrels. or SIS, 100000 bushels. At
a base of So a barrel. which is consid-
ered a conservative estimate, the crop
uetted $430.000,000, or nearly $107,-
100000 more than the value of the
wheat. On q percentage basis the
apple crop reaches nearly so percent
more than the wheat. Our export OF
apples in the barrel exceeds 100000
barrels year, and is increasing enor-
mousIy. Our apples have c fixed value
from Liverpool TO st. Petersburg. and
last year shippers 10 foreign ports ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in
supplying the demands. This trade
had grown for several years. but took
an enormous bound after the Paris
exposition, owing TO the Ene American
Display and the manner ana energy
n which American fruit growers pre-
,ented the merits c: The American
annie.

Do Birds whistle or Sing?

1t has often been cause for aston
ishment that an animal so remote as
a bird in the line of development from
man should be the only creature ca
pable in the least degree of initiating
the human voice. A talking horse has
from time to time been advertised;
but for practical purposes mans only
mimic is the bird. An American nat
uralist has recently written to prove
that birds are not singers, but whist
lers; that is to say, that the notes
are produced through a tube-to be
technical, through the slit known as the
glottis-not by the help of vocal cords.
But the whole distinction is beside the
point Any one who has seen bird
singing will have seen both the vibra-
tioSs of his throat and the variations
in the extent to which he opens and
closes his beak or mandibles; and CIV
en- these accomplishments, together
with the production of an articulate
language. whistling and singing be-
come identical, in spite of the technical
terms suggesting distinction. Peo-
pie are accustomed to the idea that
only few species of birds, such as
the parrot and the jackdaw, can be
taught,s but in wild life almost all
birds are mimics to some extent, and
probably more of them than people
realize could be taught to initiate hui
man sounds. The startling has aston
ishing skill In taking off other birds;
and even the raucous jay can produce
song or whistle if the word is pre-
ferred, which would dc justice to
thrush. Globe,

Japanese Children at Play.

In an article in the st. Nicholas en-
titled "Glimpses of Child Life in ia
pan," illustrated by himself, Theodore
Wores says that two holidays especial
ly for children are observed by the ia
panese during the year. The one oc-
ours on May 5, and is called Boys
Day." and the other, on March 3, is
known as Girls Day." or the Feast
of Dolls. On Boys Day the streets
present a very bright and festive ap-
pearance, as almost every house is
decorated with a tall bamboo pole
to which one or more large paper fish
are attached The number of fish
hung from each pole corresponds to
the number of boys in the family.
These fish are very cleverly construc-
ted, and are painted so as to present
very natural appearance. They are
fastened to the pole by cord passed
through the jaws, and openings at the
mouth and tail allow the wind to blow
through, filling them out and causing
them to plunge in most lifelike man
ner These paper fish vary in length
from three to 20 feet.
In many houses, on this occasion,
miniature stands of arms, containing
swords, spears, bows, banners, and
suits of armor, are brought out OF the
kura, or storehouse, and placed on
view Some of these toy weapons are
as carefully made as the real things,
and are often very old, having served
on Boys Day in the same family for
many generations. On Girls Day al
most every household has more or less
of a collection of dolls on view. These
dolls are carefully packed away, each
in it's own wooden case, during the
year, and are only brought out on these
special occasions, when it is the GUS
tom for little girls to pay visits to
one another, exchange the comp1i-
ments of one another's dolls. In adj
dition to these dolls, all sorts of minia-
ture household articles, consisting of
dressing-ca toilet-sets, furniture,
and kitchen utensils. ETC., made Of sill
yer and lacquer, are displayed. The
principal dolls initiate the mikado and
his empress in ancient court dress.
Many of these collections of dolls are
centuries old.
Japan has not without reason been
called a "chiloren's paradise" While
my own observations have proved to
me that Japanese children are about
the happiest l know, l have also OBJ
served that they always display the
greatest respect for their parents and
elders, who are thus more than repaid
for the unfailing love and attention
they bestow upon the little ones of the
Sunrise Kingdom"
