.IusrICE no sCHLEY.

In a speech delivered in Buffalo
Lieut.. Hobson let in a new light on
the naval situation by declaring that
the names oil Dewey. Sampson and
Schley will live together in American
history. The pity is that the friends
of Admiral Sampson did not, COM
ments the Atlanta Constitution, take
this cue at first. There never was q
disposition TO do injustice to any
officer of the navy by the people.
When the war with Spain opened,
the navy of the United States was as
a sealed book to the people at large.
Never before was preferment so open
to merit as upon that occasion. When
from the far east an unsupported vic
tory was flashed from the wires, the
people stood ready to do full honor
to the man who stood upon the
bridge upon that momentous occa-
sion. The same was true when
later developments were looked
for from the West Indian squad
ron. 1t was not known that
the board of strategy had taken the
possibilities of that campaign out of
the hands of Providence for the pur-
tSoN "a - - ONA behAh
regardless of the fact whether he was
present in the engagement or not.
1t was against the plain purpose to do
Injustice to a gallant officer that
Sampson was not in the engagement
that Schley was, and that he was the
ranking officer, and that under all
previous rules victory was ascribed
to the man in active command. 1t
will not do to say that the plan of battle
had been entirely arranged by an
other.
1t is altogether likely that in the
effort to rebuke the assumacy of Ad-
miral Sampson, ia claiming that
which did not belong to him, that he
had failed to receive justice for what
he really deserved. In such case,
Lieut.. Robson has opened the way for
a review Of the whole question by adj
hitting that Admiral Schley did hold
a place of honor in the engagement
and that there are three names worthy
of remembrance in connection with
the war

LEGISLATIVE PLUMBERS.

The bill passed by the last legisla-
ture providing for the election of su-
pervisors every year was uninten-
tional. 1t was one of the many errors
of the general assem- bly,, contends the
Quincy Herald, and helps to prove
that the people are in peril every mo-
ment the legislature is in session.
The intent of the man who had the
bill in charge was to provide that in
cities entitled to more than one super
visor the election should be based
upon the last federal or state census
and not upon local one. In drafting
the bill the section used in the law as
originally enacted was used. This
provided that supervisors should hold
office one year. In 1887 the system
of electing half the board each year
and having the supervisors hold office
two years was adopted. This was
done by amending the original law,
but the acts were printed separately.
By adopting the original law at the
basis of the recent act, the amend
ment providing for the two year term
is killed.
The effect of this will be to cause
much confusion in the township or
ganization system all over the state.
The matter has been brought to the
attention of Attorney General Ham
lin, and he will probably be called on
to give an opinion within q few days,
in Ord=r that the counties may get
used to the new order of things. The
result may be that supervisors elected
last spring may have to be elected
again. As the Herald saws. ssThe
last legislature made so many blund-
ers that since adjournment it has
taken dozen lawyers to get track of
them. One of the worst errors of the
law givers was in leaving quail and
woodcock entirely unprotected. For
the next two years at least these birds
can be shot all the year round. The
result will be the complete extermi-
