Credit where Credit is Due.

1t is worth noting that through
out the miserable Sampson-Schley
controversy Rear-Admiral Schley
has made no puclic statement that
has subjected him to criticism.
Almost every other person even re-
motely concerned in it has flown
into print and many of them have
come to grief. Rear-Admiral
Sampson did not improve his po-
sition in the matter by his pub
lished statements. But Schley, al
though besieeed by reporters, was
avoided interviews. When the
trouble began he made one public
utterance that will be remembered
as long as the battle to which he
referred. He said, There is glory
enough to go round" and, in addi,
ton, deprecated controversy over
the question as to who was in COM
mand during the battle. This,
coming from the man who was adj
mittedly in actnal command during
the battle and whose ship bore the
brunt of the fighting, was noble
utterance. one that should always
be remembered to his credit.
Equally creditable has been his
conduct while the storm of contro.
versy over the naval battle off San
tiago has been raging about him.
He has borne himself well.
Throughout the campaign of de-
traction that has bean carried on
against him he has said nothing
that has laid him open to criticism.
The Sampson-Schley controversy
has been a disgrace to the navy.
But to one man Rear-Admiral
Scbley, it has brought no disgrace,
not even in the face of the outcome
of the court of inquiry, for that has
ended in farce.

the body here. The verdict was
that the remains were that of Mr..
Fisher, and that he came to his
death by drowning.
No bruises were on the body to
indicate foul play. 1t seems he
walked into the river, got beyond
his depth, gave the alarm and was
drowned before help could reach
him. Undertaken Tippett pre-
pared the body for burial and it will
be shipped to his home at Leon

That some of the Boer guerrilla
operations in South Africa ap-
proach the proportions of real war
is shown by the British official re-
port of General DeWet's attack on
a British column the day before
Christmas. 1t was entirely sue
cessful. Six British officers and
fifty men were killed. This, with
the list of wounded and missing,
makes the battle of Zeefontein a
memorable disaster for the British
forces. AS usual, it was a surprise
by the Beers. They scaled noun
tains and attacked the British on
summit, shooting the soldiers down
as they came out of their tents.
The Beers numbered 1,500 men,
which shows that their leaders are
able to gather strong forces in an
emergency, and to accomplish i'm
portant results. History affords
few parallels to the gallantry, skill
and persistence with which the
Beers are conducting war against
such great odds.

Money to Rnrn.

The available cash surplus iu
the United States treasury now
amounts STA 10000. and it is in.
creasing daily under the spur oI
needless taxation. The % cents 3
oushel extra that the people are
paying on their potatoes is one OF
the ways the surplus is piled up,
and there are thousands of fother
taxes equally detestable. but this
potato tax, though small in amount
comes home at once to the wage
workers. 1t helps explain the sur
plus. Exclusive of the sl74.000,-
OOO surplus there has been set
aside $ioO,O0O,OOO as gold reserve.
During the sixmonths OF the fiscal
year which will expire with the
current month the treasury re-
ceipts have exceeded authorized
expenditures by about S42. 100000,
and 1t Is conservatively estimated
that before the beginning of the
next fiscal year the excess will
reach $lO0,OO0,0O0. The easy prog
ress of this accumulation can best
be appreciated by considering the
fact that on January LIST last the
receipts were but SlS,OOO.OOO in ex-
cess OF expenditures, while at the
expiration OF the fiscal year the
surplus reached SS0,OOO,OOO.
There is now more gold stored
In the treasury than ever before.
In addition to the gold reserve of
Sl5O,OOo.OOO there are 81, 100000
in gold coin and bullion and S43.-
100000 in gold certificates, which
amounts are available. cash. Be-
sides these amounts the books of
the department show $4,000, 900
in gold coin pledged to the redemp-
tion OF outstanding gold. certificates
which swells the aggregate of gold
held by the treasury to the unpre-
cedented amount of S518.000,000.

mated for the next fiscal year are

More Harmful

Overeating Worst Form
of Intemperance.

II your food is undigested. you are un-
dcrfed, no matter how much You eat.
And the underfed man is, to the extent
of the undertaking, crippled for the
battle OF life. On the other hand,
there is such a thing as overeating.
The harm done by indigestion caused
by overloaded stomachs exceeds that
from the increased heart beats caused
by the use of alcohol or whiskey.
Eat as much good food as you need
but don't overload the stomach. II
your stomach is weak il may refuse to
digest what You eat. Then You ought
to use good digestant like Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure, which digestS what you
eat without the Stomach'S aid This

tanned in Kodol Dyspepsia Cure soon

There is no possible doubt that
the army officers in the Philippines
are to man with General Chaffee
in his disagreement with Governor
Taft concerning pacification. In
a recent private letter an officer
who is fully acquainted with the
condition, writes as follows:
In my opinion = the
Government will have to keep 5O,I
600 American troops in the island
for years to come. If the troops
were now Withdrawn from and part
of the so-called "pacified" province
the civil government in pueblos
vacated by the troops would have
to fly for its life before the dawn of
another sun. In some towns the
last bayonet would hardly be out
of sight before the natives bolos
would be bathed in American
blood. Civil government in these
islands is possible and can abide
only where American troops pro.
tect it. . In northern Lu!
zon, SO long as the theater of active
warfare matters are quiet, but it is
well known that many Mauser rifles
were not turned in when the insur-
gents surrendered in April last and
an outbreak would not surprise
anyone acquainted with the people
and the facts.
This writer's reference to north
ern Luzoa is particularly note
worthy. since that section of late
has been regarded as thoroughly
pacifiej. General Chaffee's opin-
icn, of course. is based upon the
views of his subordinate officers
scattered over the islands, and
they supply him with views like
this one quoted.-Pittsburg Post.
