Will NOT Sc ZZZE 1T.

We are not one Of those who be-
Eeve that the decision of the court
Of inquiry will settle the Schley-
Sampson controversy. On the
cantrary it will very likely intensity
the ill-feellng which exists. That
there has been a conspiracy on the
part Of the naval clique to ruin
Schley there seems to beno doubt
Maclay never would have dared to
make such scurrilous attack on
the Marylander, had he not been
encouraged. He was merely an
ignoble tool, who was found to pos
sess the qualifications necessary to
do the dirty work of Schley's
prosecutors, otherwise called
EMBELLISHMENTS That such a
character should be selected to
write the naval history used at An
napolis is the GROWING act Of the
infamous-cabal inaugurated against
one of the heroes of the Spanish
war. During the reign Of terror
France inundated its victorious
generals on the guillotine. The
United States has improved on the
way of the Jacobins and instead of
beheading its heroes it employs the
machinery of government to de-
fame them The bold murderers
of the guillotine. were bad enough,
but the assassins of character are
infinitely worse.
Schley does not need the verdict
of the court to vindicate his honor;
his fame rests upon a more en-
during basis than the mere finding
of court. His dignlfied silence
since the battle of Santiago was
characteristic of the man of genuine
worth. He has repeatedly re-
fused to be drawn into the quarrel
which has given his traducers an
opportunity to appear before the
world in their true light.
No matter what may be the
verdict. history-not Maclay's
perversion of the truth-but i'm
partial history, will do him justice,
even though it is denied him by his
defamers of the navy.

One bright dream the steel strike
has put an end to, and that is the
vision which certain promoters
have seen of the trust as the cure
all for labor troubles. We all know
what their reasoning was. You
were to group industries into COM
binations so vast that labor unions
could not think of measuring swords
with them. And, of course, you

m anaged by men SO wise that they
would never give working men
cause Of complaint, and so the
strike would become as obsolete as

bigness and benevolence in the

earthly paradise for both capital
and labor. Well, we see now that
it does not work that way.-New

Arthur Pue German is slowly
but surely regaining control of
politics in Maryland. 1t is hard
to keep a brainy man down. Cor
man is one of the giant intellects of
the Democracy and if that party
ever again occupies the center of
the political stage, he will resume
his former position among the
leaders. 1t is said that Maryland
is getting tired of being represented
by mediocrity in the United States
Senate and the wish prevails even
among the Republicans to elect a
Democratic Legislature which will
return German to the upper house
of the American Congress.

BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATIONS
THE ETERANS 1T BA TON
ROUGE.

AT Baton Rouge this week were
gathered in re- union those survi-
vors of the Confederate army who
live in Louisiana. They were not
all there, but there were enough of
them present to make the reunion
an exceedingly enjoyable affair.
Louisiana's part in the great strug
gle was one OF honor and glory
and no heroes deserve hig her
praise that those who represented
this State on the field of battle. In
his able address, General Jastremski
himself gallant follower of the
Lost Cause-showed that the Louis
lana boys were meyer lacking in the
qualities Of the soldier. Whenever
called upon they exhibited the
Hottest patriotism and the most I'M
selfish devotion to duty.
Baton Rouge honored itself in
honoring the veterans of Louisiana.
The men of the capital, ably sec
onded by the cultured and patriotic
women of that hospitable city, ex-
tended to their grizzled guests a
welcome that was Enthusiastically
cordial and affectionate. A more
suitable place could not have been
selected for the gathering of the
veterans. The scene of one of the
memorable battles fought on Louis
lana soil, the home of an intensely
Southern population and of a peo-
the old bellum days., Baton Rouge
was eminently suited to receive and
entertain the veterans

M1xED EXCURSIONS.

White excursions are not always
what they should be. Excursions
in this country have gotten to be
very much like a ball in the remote
districts where several fights are
deemed necessary to give social
eclat to the affair. We seldom
hear OF an excursion which can not
boast of at least half dozen hood
lums who distinguish themselves Dy
Smoothing at telegraph posts,
frightening the women and children
and performing other heroic acts.
Sometimes they grow very bold and
use some inoffensive excursionist
for target. And what is worse,
they are seldom, If ever, punished.
But however bad, the white ex-
cursion is a thing of exquisite joy
and peace compared to that most
prolific source of trouble, known as
mixed excursion. Recently a
number of these EXCLUSIONS have
been given on the Southern Pacific
management Of the company and
others under the auspices OF loca
| associations
These mixed EXCURSIONS are, il
many instances, patronized by the
turbulent classes of both races
who, after "filling up" with thu
vilest kind of whiskey, set at de
fiance the law and it's officers. Las
Sunday evening an excursion train
with white aud black people al
board, signaled its entrance int
this town by firing several pisto
shots. We are informed that fir,
arms were discharged at a numbe
of points on the road.
The railroad company should re
cognize the inadvisability of mixet
excursions and put and end to them
At any rate, white persons, parti
cularly ladies, should refuse t.
patronize them.

Tie ideal husband is the man
who hasn't got married yet.
Marrying a drunkard to reform
him Is like frying fish to make beef
steak out of it.
When a woman is dead sure that
she has a man she is never dead
sure that she wants him.
A woman is never SO much afraid
she may lose mans love as she is
that some other woman may gain it,
No matter how much of past a

women who can teach him more

The Humanity OF Chairman
Jones.
Cincinnati Enquirer Dem.)
Chairman Jones has got fa1
enough along after the disasters Of
1896 and 1900 to contemplate with
complacency the possible ehmina-
ton of William J. Bryan from
leadership. Mr.. Jones is verv te'
nacious about principle, or about
what may have the appearance of
principle, but he has the human
weakness of wanting to win oc-
casionally.

In well-informed Catholic circles here il
is oeheved that the next consistory OF :he
catholic Church a; Rome will be neld I'm
February, when Pope Leo XIII attains .he
twenty-hfth year of his pontihcate. While
there have been no definite advtces Ia .bis
enect IL is thought likely that mis- as
sembly VIII open the jubilee TO sisnalize
the closing OF the quarter century nf Pope
beos regime, and that he will take ,a-
vantage or II to deliver an allocutIon, TAX
ing strong position on the question OF
ASSASSINATION among other things Cardinal
Martineih VIII remain in Office here uIiii
ABOUT time for the consistory. No aurhor-
tative word has vet reached here rs.-ard-
ing tne suceessorship. In view OF his past
experience II is quite likely that Cardinal
Marune4lf viii be assigned in Rome "a
tne congregations OF the holy office known
as the inquisition." which watches tn,s
morals and discipline OF the church. and
tne propaganda, which deals with the
propagation of the faith.
Caroinal Martinelli and two or three of
.ne me, newly created cardinals. as well as pos
sloly several cardinals and bishons mar
may meantime be created, will receive ma
ing consistory.

The mutilation of a fine soft maple tree
