SAMPSON AND SCHLEY.

Congress shows no signs as yet of a
purpose to deal fairly by the men who
brought the Spanish war to a trium-
plant close. What has been done goes
to reward Dewey and his men at Ma
Mia; but great as their achievements
were they were not comparable to those
of Sampson and Schley in destroying
the real sea power of Spain and open
ing the route to Cuba so that the Unit
ed States could pour its armies into the
island without hindrance by hostile
fleet.
Very likely Congress would have
rewarded the Santiago heroes had it
not been for the unfortunate quarrel
between the friends Of Sampson and
Schley-a quarrel that has kept back
promotion for most of the naval wor-
thies, including Hobson. and has even
retarded that of General Shafter, COM
mander of the victorious land forces.
1t is time, however, that this bar was
removed and that the men who have so
Illuminated the flag should not be with
out honor in their own country.
The easiest way out would seem to be
to create two offices Of Vice Admiral
and give them to Sampson and Schley
in the order named. There is nothing
unusual in having the Office Of Vice Ad-
miral conferred upon more than one

THE VENEZUELAN TROUBLE.

According to Joseph L. Morton. who
has been investigating the trouble be-
tween Americans and Venezuelans, the.
facts about the affair are as follows:
About twelve years ago great Amerl-
can asphalt company, now known as
the New York and Bermudez Company
and as the asphalt trust" obtained
from the Venezuelan Government the
exclusive right for twenty-five years OF
working the asphalt deposits. These
are situated in the state of Bermudez,
in the northeastern part of Venezuela,
and are the largest and most valuable
depositssof this paving material in the
world, being several times as great as
the famous lake on the island of Trini-
dad. For twelve years this company has
taken out the asphalt, and it recently
erected there the largest asphalt refin-
ing works in the world. This company
has had the monopoly Of the business
and contends that it's title to the as
phalt lakes is perfectly good.
There is in existence, however, an old
concession whose date seems to be I'M
certain to some native capitalists and
promoters which gives to them the
right to work the most valuable part of
the asphalt mine of the company. This
would, of course, If enforced, work
great injury to the trust and destroy
it's monopoly. The natives sold this
concession to new American syn
dictate, and the dispute between the two
Yankee companies is the cause of the
trouble. The old company has the adj
vantage of possession, with about 1000
armed employees to help it stay. The
new company has the enormous advan-
tage of having President Castro, which
means the Venezuelan Government, on
it's side. The case is now pending be-
fore the Venezuelan Supreme Court
which it is expected will run counter to
the President and confirm the New
York and Bermudez Company in its
claim. On the other hand, it is report
ed on the best authority that Castro is
about to annul it's concession. So,
speaking simply. the whole question
is, which concession is the valid one?
The Venezuelan Government has just
had on it's hands another of the period
, ic South American revolutions
which has further complicated the
asphalt situation. The revolution -
however, has about petered out, as
| they generally do. and President Cas-
tro is free to take whatever action he
pleases in the matter. There is well
defined fear that he contemplates using
the forces of the republic to GUST the
New York and Bermudez Company.
AS they are American citizens. this
would be a breach of international
peace and might lead to the gravest re-
suits. 1t is scarcely thought, however,
that President Castro will go to such
extremes. General Francis v. Greene
iof New York is president of the New
York and Bermudez Company

man at time. 1t is done in European
navies, particularly that of Great Brit
ain, and it is as defensible as is the
appointment of more than one Rear Adj
miral. Our fleet is growing so large
that officers of Vice Admiral rank will
be needed to command its most i'm
portant sub divisions. The Admiral
does not go to sea except in times of
special emergency; Vice Admirals are
needed to represent him on great occa-
sions in time of peace; there should al
ways be one such officer af1oat in the
Atlantic and another in the Pacific. Ii
Congress shall take this view of the
case the quarrel between Sampson and
Schley will end at once. Hobson will go
up and all hands will get the honor
they have won.
AS matters stand the half truth in
the phrase that republics are ungrateful
has marked illustration.

MUD FOR THE SICK BED.

The '.chiyalry' which shoots an un-
armed man because he has resented in
s,lts to helpless women, does not hesl-
tate to annoy him as he lies on a bed
of suffering. Both papers controlled by
Iu0ee Humphreys have dlsgraced
themselves within the last few days by
making a jest of poor Stevens wounds.
The Bulletin, which is the most pusli-
luminous paper of the two, has pub
lished the following, in the evident be
lief that by doing so it would pest
please Humphreys:
The Advertiser fails to explain the de-
gree of law and order exemplified by "a

clst, a remarkable broad jumper and al
so a hurdler, etc., etc., ETC., VINO wen.
out looking for fight, struck the nrst
blow and then when he got the worst OF
it yelled for help. The effort to martyr
ize the young man meets with most alb
ject failure.
The Republican refers with smifk
of self satisfaction to
the fate which befel his the
editor of the Advertisers bouncer IN the
editorial rooms of this paper Wednes-
day night.
This engaging sentiment, which does
not attempt to conceal the satlsfactioh
felt by Mr.. Gill-or General Gill, as
he headlined himself few weeks ago
| that he had tried to kill his man mere
as we'll as in Arizona, is coupled with
praise of what he calls his own "chiv-
/ airy and brave and Christian man
hood"
The most culpable feature of this
newspaper campaign against the young
man who blood was split because he
would not stand idly by and hear a
filthy jest about defenseless women, Is
| the favor it has from Humphreys
the notorious judge of the First Dis
ltrict Court. OF Humphreys criminal
record we shall shave something to say
later on; it will suffice now to point him
/ out as the one who is inspiring these
daily attacks upon poor Stevens. was
there ever on the bench of any civilized
country more indecent spectacle than
this Arizona refugee presents? He not
only keeps Gill red-handed in control
of his morning paper and permits him
to insult men whose boots he is not
worthy to black, but he lets both his
papers mock the poor fellow whom his
lprotege had tried to murder. And this
creature also calls himself chivalrous

nolulu now knows that Humphreys is
the veriest cad who ever carried the
mire of fraud and the smell of cheaI
;rascality into the courts of justice: anC

all the borrowed taels he shows, vii

Mrs. Nation at the Bar.

Dame NatlOn Oh req Kansas
y By all her ribbons swore
That her bewhiskered neighbors
Should quench their thirst no more!
She smashed a glass and chewed it,
And spat the pieces out
And tore out punches of her hair
And flung them forth upon the air
And fiercely danceu about.
East and west and north and south
She ran with all her might,
And never did a maddened COW
Present so fierce a sight,
Shame on the Kansas woman
Who sits at home and croons
A lullaby when she might be
Demolishing saloons!
The bourbon and the lager
Are pouring out amain
From Franks Buffet and George s
Place.
To irrigate the plain;
And many costly mirror
Is cracked in forty ways,
And all her actions are designed
To brighten and amaze.
Decrepit folk on clutches
And laughing maids and men
Behold her smash the windows,
And cry, GO in again.
She grasps the shameful painting
That hangs above the bar
And tears it into little bits
| And scatters them afar.
And. screaming in her anger,
| She spies a demijohn,
! And, as the fearful tiger
/ Springs on the helpless fawn
She takes it in her clutches
| And bites it full of holes!
The man who tends the bar and he
/ That owns the Institution she
Knocks down with bricks and things ant
leaps
Across their covering forms and theaps
/ Her curses on their souls.
The Sheriff hurries forward
And bids her cease a space;
She pulls his ears and tweakS his nose
And roughly slaps his face!
She rips the bar to pieces
4 And knocks out all the bungs
And round about, five hundred men
Stand with protruding tongues.
She grasps the tall cops whlskerS
Within her goodly clutch,
/ And pulls them from his system
4 And whoops to beat the Dutch!
Her hands are full of sphnters,
She feels them not nor cares,
But keeps right on proceeding
To regulate affairs.
And when her work is ended
The men who stand around
And, signing, see her eat the hoops
BY which the casks were bound,
Speed off in all directions
And thank their lucky stars
That they may still get thirsty
n And drink at other bars.
All, may her music ever
Bulge till her fight is won,
For oh, wot she'll need lot
Before the job is done!
Hurrah for Mrs. Nation
Ten thousand times hurrah!
For her who in her good right hand
Can swing the fearsome brickbat and
/ Herself become the law!
