SchIeY Seeks Notoriety.

With the view of making presiden-
tlal capital Admiral Schley is swing
ing around the circles at present. He
has visited a great many of the lead
ing Southern cities and is now in the
Middle West endeavoring to create
public sympathy for himself, which
he proposes to take advantage of in
booming himself for the Democratic
nomination for President. While no
serious objection can be taken on this
subject because Admiral Schley is his
own man and has practically retired
from the naval service, and whatever
he does he can do without interfering
with his official duties, nevertheless
at this time it would seem that Ad-
miral Schley has gotten the idea into
his head that he is "it'' in the United
States and that he can be Moses for
the Democratic party. Those Repub-
lican papers that continue to shout
for Schley to the detriment of Samp-
son should remember that they are
nourishing viper that will strike at
their political life as soon as it gets
strong enough. All of those Repub-
lican editorials, which Mr.. Schley
doubtless has clipping bureau filing
away for him, will be brought out in
the 1904 presidential campaign and
used by the Democrats to make votes
| for Schley.

DEPUTY MARSHAL SHOT,,
ALLEGED MooNsHINER AND HIS
FRIENDS MAKE A MUIR
DEROUs ATTACK.

Nashville, May deputy United
States Marshal James W. Duggan Of
Columbia lies at the city hospital here
with bullet in his body, the result
Of a desperate encounter in Sumner
county yesterday, which came near
causing his death, as we'll as that Of
s. NJ. woodall Of that county.
sDuggan had gone to the home Of ].
L. Brysentine, an alleged mooushiner,
who had jumped his bond, and carried
Woodall, who was on Brysentino's
borl, with him. In an unguarded
moment Duggan, who had drawn his
pistol upon entering the house, re-
placed II in the holster. Brysentine
submitted to arrest without resistance,
but when Duggan put up his gun be
drew big knife and endeavored TO
cut the officers throat A desperate
struggle resulted, IN which Duggan
tried to wrench the knife from Bry-
sentine.
They struggled through the front
door of the house out on the porch
and were fighting like demons when
a shot was fired through a window OF
the house, presumably by one Of Bry-
sentine's friends. The deputy fell,
the ball having entered his body near
the point Of the left hip. becoming
embedded in the flesh. The outlaws

CROKER COMING BACK.

MANY, AT LEAST IN
EFFECT.

New York, May s. Saturdays
European mails brought from Richard
Croker letters to Tammany leaders Of
the old guard. Whether it was as a
result or merely a coincidence, several
conferences were held yesterday.
After one Of these the announce
ment was made that Mr. Croker will
return to New York late in August
No attempt was made to conceal his
intention of taking back the leader
ship, at least in effect.
He is said to be greatly dissatisfied
with the manner In which Tammany's
affairs have been administered. He
believes that mistakes of the opposi.
tion have not seen profited by as they
should have been, and he is Disguised
that his orders have not been obeyed.

street sprinkling project because they
will be assessed few dollars a year,
but the council should at all times
consider the greatest good to the
greatest number, and remember that
street sprinkling is something that
contributes to the comfort, good health
and happiness Of the community as a
whole and the good that will rebound
to the greatest number will far offset
the objections few may have to
it. Street sprinkling is something
that every city requires, and some
thing that Paducah has long needed,
especially in the more thickly popu-
lated localities.

NO GRAFTERS
Suspicious Characters to be Ares
ted and Locked up.
The Police viii Take No Risks Bot viii
Gather Them all in.

Marshal Grow has instructed his
officers to arrest all suspicious char.
acters seen about town ON any charge
that can be preferred, from vagrahoy
to larceny.
This is the only means Of Kidding
the town Of the grafters and sneak
thieves who infest the towns during
carnival time. Last year the residents
suffered greatly from the robberies,
and the police were kept busy. The
Buokskin Bill show brought several
here, aad the few robberies placed the
officers on their guard and showed the
coming situation mp more clearly.
The object Of the local officers is to ar
rest the suspicious characters and lock
them up, continuing their trial from
day to day until the carnival is over,
thereby keeping them out of mischief
Marshal Grow said this morning
that he had his eye on several grafters
now, and that he expected to pull
them in If they did not change their
tactics soon.

GEN. SMITH TO BE ACQUITTED.

General Smith, as has been con-
tended all along by patriotic citizens
of the United States, was only acting
within bounds Of the law when he is
sued the "kill-snd burn" order, and
he will be acquitted by court martial
Thus the administration scores anoth-
err victory over the maligners Of the
American soldiers. 1.-THE war depart
ment commissioned a man wearing
the uniform Of the United States to
kill and burn and destroy" remarks
one paper-Democratic OF course-in
well simulated horror. Well, perhaps
it did. A deathless and freless war
is something we should like to see but
are not likely to see. Our generals
are supposed to use their own judg-
ment, not that of few incompetent,
always-complaining demagogues at
home. There is little humanity in
war at any stage of the game, but
there is nothing to indicate that the
American troops have not been as hu-
name to the Filipinos as they could be
for the good and safety of our army
and the cause. In making the closing
address for the defense before the
court martial that tried General
Smith Colonel Charles A. Woodruff
drew tears to the eyes Of his hearers.
He dramatically sketched General
Smiths career and declared he had
conducted a remarkable and successful
campaign in a manner which reflected
credit on his valor, humanity and
kindness.
Speaking in imprisoned tones Col
onel Woodruff said in older times vic
torious generals tied captives to their
chariots. In this case the general finds
himself tied. Sentiment was an ex.
cellent thing, but there cas- no place
for it in war.
1--WE claim" declared tine colonel,
"thst the Samar, campaign, just
brought to a successful termination,
while pushed actively, vigorously and
energetically, was ever conducted
within the limits of war. During
the last few months it has seemed pop
ular to criticize the army in the Phil.
ippines. People seem to have forgot
ted its magnificent services for Amer
ica's honor and glory, through sun,
rain, mud and dust, across rivers and
over mountains, through tangled un.
derbrush, in sickness and in health,
which have reflected nothing but
glory upon our flag and country. We
have been worthy members of the ar

cept in the defense of the law, and
whose tramp has carried comfort to

The steamboat companies can scarce
ly secure enough labor, at any price,
to operate their boats. Yet there are
hordes of negroes at the wharves every
day. They do not refuse to work on
account of the wages, which are
large, but because they simply do not
desire to work. II the vagrsncy law
were enforced this evil would soon be
eradicated. Every loafer who refuses
to work on q boat can be arrested and
made TO show how he obtains live
lihood. A few such arrests would
have the effect Of making many Of the
idlers go to work and running the re-
mainder out of town, either Of which
would be a benefit to the community.

those in danger. Yet today we are
apparently disgraoed. Why cannot
imagine that people at home expect to
gain glory and political advancement
by abusing the army. 1t was tried af-
ter the Mexican war 1t was tried af-
ter the Oh vii war, with the result that
Grant, the butcher was elected
president, and died loved and honored
by every American. While the CAM
paigns in the Philippines have not
been conducted to meet the views Of
the sentimentalists and troublesome
busybo dies in the United States, they
have been conducted on lines which
have reflected credit upon the valor,
pluck, humanity and kindness Of
American soldiers many of whom have
freely laid down their lives on their
country's altar"
Colonel 1 Woodruff, during his ad.
dress, reviewed the evidence at
length, showing the necessity for
making Samar a wilderness and COM
pairing the campaign in that island
with the strenuous march to the sea,
whose route was marked by cloud Of
smoke by day and by pillar of fire
by night"
The colonel said it had been prove d
by the evidence that native boys eight
years of age were capable of welding
bolos. He cited numerous instances
of military law, Roman, English and
American, in behalf of the defense,
and portrayed Gen. Smiths military
career from the time he enlisted in
1851 to 1901, when he was APP
pointed brigadier general, and de-
scribed his wounds, heroism and de-
votion to duty.
Colonel Woodruff also quoted Gov
ernor Taft's speech at Dagupan, eulo-
giving General Smith, and added:
Nov, after wearing for Al years the
uniform OF the United States with
honor to himself and to the benefit
of the government, at the close Of q
remarkably successful campaign in
which he accomplished whatSpain was
unable to do in 200 years, while re-
turning. as his friends thought, COW
cred with glory, he was halted and
taken off transport to face charges
growing out of the language used in
giving instructions for the conduct of
= successful campaign.
1.-THE defense feels that the govern
ment has only done this in Difference
to overwhelming public sentiment,
based on rumors fosteIed for unknown
and ignoble purposes. until hysteria
was produced. Then this gray,
wounded, victorious general was ex-
posed to the indignity of a trial in
Difference TO hysterical public opinion.
General Smith faces the conscience Of
the court and people with the full
knowledge that he did his duty as an
honorable soldier.
This speech seems to reveal the true
state Of affairs. There is too much
hysteria among the people Of the
United States. Their slop-over hero
worship and their maudlin sy mpsthy
for the vicious treaeherous Filipinos
who are fighting against the stars and
stripes. are enough TO disgust any
sensible man. IE
