sLANDERINe scHLEY.

The naval clique doubtless rejoiced that Pres
ident Roosevelt overlooked Admiral Dewey and Gen.
eral Miles in appointing Major General James Wilson
and Captain Clark representatives of the United
States to attend the coronation of King Edward.
Admiral Dewey and General Miles are unquestion
ably the most distinguished men in our naval and
army services. But they friendly to Schey, and
it looks If the fine Italian hand of the naval clique
were at work again.
The naval clique is still prosecuting Admiral
Schley with it's SANDERS The latest is to charge him
with being the descendant of Hessan. These Ger
man auxiliaries Of the British in the Revolutionary
war have always been especially hated in America
1t would not be Admiral Scheys fault if he were de.
seconded from Hessan who had settled in this coun-
try after the Revolutionary He would not be the
slightest personal dscredit to him and, with his illus
rious record, he would not be whit the less en-
titled to the applause of his fellow countrymen. To
be descended from a Hessan would not be anything
against any American citizen, though of obscure
position. But the venom of the naval clique must
have outlet, and they have hit upon this false
charge.
The Philadelphia Times prints Admiral Scheys
pedigree in full The original schley in America did
come from Hesse, but he settled here early in the
Eighteenth century long before the Revolutionary
war and during that war he was an active American
patriot

AN APPEAL FROM ROOSEVELT DRUNK TO
ROOSEVELT SOBER

"Oh that mine adversary had written a book, ="
was the exclamation of Job William Jennings Bryan
has had Jobs wish realized He has found the book
Theodore Roosevelts book, and has been deghting
himself and the readers of the Commouer with ex.
tracts culled from 1t and appropriate commentary "A
chiefs among us takin' notes" the poet Burns
says, "and faith he'll print it." The printing of Mr.
Bryans notes makes very interesting reading indeed
Rooseyeit's book is Thomas Benton There is a
passage In It on Manifest Destiny" that reads very
Inherently from what Roosevelt has to say concerning
the Philippines in his message to congress. Mr. Bry.
an quotes 1t from page 40 of the book:
Among such people Benton's views and habits of

which reduced to its simplest terms That was our
Tsnifest destiny to swallow up the land Of all adjoining
forthwith obtaned immense popularity all statesmen
Of easy International morality"
And Just to show that the opinion expressed in the
quotation just given was not accidental Mr.. Bryan
quotes another extract from page 266 of the book:
"Of course no would wish these or any other
settled communities added 70 domain by foce we
have taken lands before the settlers into them
