schIey,s Protest Is Upheld.

From the Chicago Record Herald
The rejection of Admiral Howison as a member of the
naval court Of inquiry which sit in the trial of Admiral
Schley will meet with unqualified approval among fair
minded people and gives the country the that
the final verdict of the will be free all suspicion
of bias and conclusive as the merits of the contro
versy concerned.
The objections Admiral Howison which were embod-
led in the challenge presented by Admiral Schley we're of
such preclude acceptance of the final verdict
by the country. No matter what the finding the court
might have been would have closed the wearsome
and dscreditable controversy who in command
the battle of Santiago and who entitled to the honors
OF that great victory The bitterness of the controversy in
fact would have been accentuated instead of notified and
the partsans OF each officer would have been caorou
and insistent than ever.
1t not be charged that the decision that Howon
ineligible serve the Of inquiry was unsup
ported by evidence After the challenge read by Admiral
Schey number of witnesses gave testimony in which it
shown beyond dispute that Howson was preudced
against Schey that he partisan OF Admiral Sampson
and that he had been heard declare that Schey should
have been courtmartaed for dsobedence of orders Ad
mira owison is true, presented answer to the cha
enge but his disclaimers sufficiently clear or posi-
tive satisfy the public of his competency to sit in judg
upon Admiral Schey in inquiry involving his Off
cial conduct at Santiago,
The first session Of the court of inquiry only plainly
revealed the purpose of Admiral Schley to insist upon an
impartial bench but also made that the issue to be
tried is whether Sampson Schley in command at
Santiago and whether Schley did his duty naval officer

Of his being deficient in determination It
comes from having been accustomed to view him the
embodiment OF strenuousness the victim of an i'll
regulated desire to do something the slave of the APP
petite for notorety It is fear arising from the posi-
biity of violent disturbance of the existing order of
things with it's attendant dread of consequences; fear
that alarms the great conservative middle class of ct
zens without whose confidence no administration can
give satisfaction.
1t is a good sign that Roosevelt himself has not
mistaken the trend of popular opinion concerning his
presidential and that he has FASTENED at the
outset to improve that opinion by announcing that he
will not depart from the policies of Mckinley. Not
that those policies in the main the best for the
country or as whole in need of revision but 1t is
better at this time that should know that they are
be abandoned for others We know not OF or re-
placed by others deprecate more
AS an asprant to the presidency by election Roose'
welt must realize that his chances of thus securing
it would be sensibly decreased by any mistake he
might make during the term he is Just beginning upon
Weighted down with the burden of duties imposed by
his new position, he must perfoPce change his Rough
Rider gait to the sedate stride of Craftsmanship
Face to face with the responsibilities of the chief
stracy of the greatest nation earth he not help
realizing that his first must be to convince his
countrymen that they have no cause to feel uneasy
because of his acquisition of the highest office within
their gift
At all events it is the part of wisdom to make the
best of the matter and look for good results from his
administration. Given chance, he may surprise us.

PREVALENCE OF SMALLPOX.

The health officers of many cities considerably
worried the present prevalence of smallpox, and
that their concern is not exaggerated seems TO. be
proved by statistics furnished by the last report of
the marine hospital service According to that report
there have been no less than 9149 cases this year as
against $3.50 for the corresponding peiod OF 1900 The
disease Is not oophaed to any particular section. Ohio
Minnesota New Ioreand Nassa chusetts have suffered
extensively from its yisitations well Texas, the
death rate varying according to the treatment def
milton of the disease.
In the light Of these figures, it must be concluded
that Of the greatest sins of omission committed
by the present legislature at it's regular session was
In falling to provide for the suppression of contagious
diseases by refusing to pass the bill regulating in
ternai quarantine As matters stand now, it is prac-
tically impossible to control smallpox or diseases Of
similar nature. Provision has been made for effi-
cent coast quarantine but there is no method by
which concentrated effort he brought to bear to
Eet rid Of diseases OF domestic origin.
Internal quarantine at this time is purely question

ing knowledge Of the presence of contagious ailments

torested physicians in the matter of giving in

But even when smallpox is promptly reported and
after there is longer any doubt OF it's existence it's

Left the matter is, to the municipal county

attended to- TRUE the State health officer may exert
himself in the premises but he has authority

neither is there money at his disposal with which
fight the disease should he conclude that action the
name of the State is necessary.
One single town county may defeat the efforts
the other towns counties to stamp cut contagion
Everything be done BY the many to control ii and
prevent its spread, only to it break out again owing
to the negligence unwillngness of some insignih-
cant community to take hand. Instances are numer-
where counties were subjected to second and third
epidemies of smallpox after having spent thousands of
dollars to get the upper hand of the disease simply
because it allowed 10 spread uncontrolled in a
neighboring county
Realizing the futility of independent action in the
combating OF contagious diseases, an attempt was
made the regular session of the present legislature
bring about change the better in the law which
covers or rather fails to cover the case but it was
defeated. The result will be that this winter the State
will in all likelihood find itself overrun with smallpox
To extent than before. and that the dis
ease will acquire almost unshakable oothold within
its borders.

And all that its rhythm could harrou

Breathed in its rhythmical fancy.
All the world and all life was ~
And in time, to its necromancy
wept, and my heart was sad.
Aye, wept till my tears, downfallir,
From my life had shut out the H.,
And my pace was attuned to the callisDs

From the trundle bed there in ouy ,1a,,
To the bed where we all must liz A0a

But the poem, while was musinv
Had slipped from my grasp and feI,
And, held in my moods grim CHOOSING
My life and my heart were heIIi
Till stopped to recover where, slippipe
The poem of sorrow lay still,
And on the reverse of the clipping
Was jingle with joy a-thrilll
Just ripping and rolicking Jingle,
That sang of the sky's deep blue
OF messy and rockstrewn inele
Where stars of the night shine tbron..,
OF pigeons and prodigals homing,
OF lowing of well-kept herds;
And the whppoorwills out in the eloar..

And SO, at each woefu suggestion.
Don't weep till your eyes 60 dryf

Always two sides to a sigh;
