Secretary Long has issued the fol-
lowing general order: "All persons In
the naval service are strictly enjoincd
10 refrain from any public statement
concerning the subject matter of the
court of inquiry requested by Rear
Admiral w. $. Schley."
Capt. Schley. son of the Rear Ad-
miral, is commander at TT. Douglas.
"When the court OF inquiry
Meets said Capt. Schley, II would
like to ask Sampson just one question:
If the battle of Santiago had resulted
in defeat, to whom would the blame
he attachedY This, | think, tells the
situation in nutshell. If Schley had
lost the battle he would have been
blamed. He won it, and he should
have the credit"
Admiral Cervera. now in Vlchy,
France, Is quoted rs saying: "Schley
impressed me as gallant officer and
Il high-minded gentleman. l should
say that man of noble principles and
generous impulses cannot be coward.
TO such men l would look rather for
Castillan bravery. Physical
and moral courage are two different
qualities. There is no need OF using a
microscope TO discover both in the ac-
ton OF Admiral Schley."

BABYLONIAN EXPLORATIONS.
Discovery of Great Temple Library o
City of NIppur.

City OF Nlppur
Prof. Hilprecht of the University of
Pennsylvania, the Babylonian explor-
err has discovered the Great Temple
library of the ancient city of Nippur,
which was destroyed by the Elumnites
in the year 22S B. c. For eleven years
the professor has been exploring the
mounds of ancient Nippur, the city
that antedated Babylon by centuries as
the capital of Babylonia. Within the
past year he has found among those
prehistoric ruins the library of the
Temple Of Nippur. This is the first
Babylonian temple library that has
ever been discovered and it contains
the oldest and most important records
of the earliest civilization of which
even an echo has come down to OR
own age. Already $4,000 volumes
have been taken from the ruins, and 1t
is expected that many more thousands

cal and chronological data, legal ana

and pressure of time" in which Abra
ham lived. They also show, says Prof
Hilprecht, that ages before the reputed
appearance of Adam man was not only
existing but that developed a high
state of civilization. comparable in all
its essential points with that which We
Ourselves possess.

The Corn Crop.

In Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and
Missouri early corn in practically
ruined. With early and abundant
rains in these states late corn would
probably make half crop or less. The
condition of the crop in Iowa is more
favorable than in the before
states, and copious rains with moder-
ate temperatures within week would
greatly improve the prospects for Il
large part of the crop. In Illinois, In
diana, Ohio Kentucky and Tennessee,
more particularly the western portions
OF the two last named states, corn is
now seriously in need of rain. In Hin
OILS the crop has not yet sustained great
damage but will be materially reduced
unless the drouth is relieved within q
week. In the middle Atlantic states,
the conditions have been highly fav-
orable for corn and its condition is
further improved.

BRYANIsM AND JEFFERSONIAN DE-
MOCRACY.

UuelT way, suIcly, tuOuSu uOO WAVil ClcdI
sight, toward representative or parlia-
mentary government, with a subordi-
nate or responsible executive. This
principle of popular sovereignty had
been recognized, though not firmly es-
tablished, under William and Anne.
George III undertook to go back to the
comparative absolutism of the Stuarts.
This contest between reactionary Tory
ism and progressive democracy was
waged alike in England and in the colo
nies. In the mother country it resulted
quickly and surely responsive to the
popular will, and with less obstruction
to it, probably, than the government of
any other country. In the colonies it
resulted in independence, and in gov
ernment under constitution which was
largely infused with the Toryism Of the
time of George, and in which the pro-
cess of evolution has been obstructed
by it's written form. This circumstance
explains the presence to so large de-
gree of George the Third Hamilton To-
ryism in our government today, without
exciting wonder or even consciousness.
The trainers of our constitution did
not comprehend that the same struggle
which won our independence had also,
in effect, won for the English people,
independence from the hereditary up
per house of parliament, and the SOW
ereign or executive-in short, govern
ment, directly by the elective house of
commons. Excepting such moral in
fiuence as they WELD and their expense
as a relic, preserved by the peculiar con-
servative spirit of the English people,
the monarchial executive and the titled
upper house of parliament have been al
most inert since the reform bill of 1882
On the other hand, our own constitution,
patterned as much as Hamiltonism could
make it so, after the English constitution
of George-and as liberal and progress
i've pattern as the world then afforded,
remains to us in it's original procrustean
letter, and i'll much of its original Tory
spirit.
Jefferson played his momentous game
of politics with a cue taken from the
great French radicals whose spirit and
principles were even then in life-and-
death grapple with the aristocratic or
der, which they overthrow, never sue
cessfully to rise again. This distinction
between two marked political tendencies
has come down to the present day
through the democratic party, which
was born of Jefferson's struggle, on the
one hand, and, on the other hand,
through the federal party and it's sue
cessors, the whig and republican parties.
The French revolution reorganized the
whole social system, and placed it
upon q new basis
