Democratic blood seems to have reach
ed high degree of heat these days OF
exciting debate, in our legislative halls.
Gu Friday morning of last week heated
discussion on the floor of the House OF
Delegates. at Annapolis, led TO personal
encounter between Delegates Isaac Lobe
Straus and E. Lynn Painter, with small
damage to the belligerents. On Saturday
afternoon the example set by these ban
tam weights was followed by the fiery
South Carolina Senators, Tillman and
McLaurin, who shocked the dignity of
the United States Senate by passing the
lie aud pummeling each other i'll true
pugalistic fashion, with first blood for
McLaurin. The Senators have been
placed under the ban for their conduct,
and will not be allowed to participate in
any of the proceedings of the Senate until
such time as that body shall see fit
to again admit them to its deliberations.

The Presidents BIunder.

President Roosevelt made public last
week his decision in the appeal of Adj
1niral Schley, and shows thereby how he
knuckled to the wishes of the Naval De-
partment in the matter. II is safe to say
that Notwithstanding all that has been
said and done by the Administration 10
strip Schley of his honors, the question
has long ago been settled in the minds of
the people as to whom the glory of vic
tory at Santiago belongs, and this decis-
ion of the President will carry no weight
or detract one jot, in their minds, from
the honor of the gallant Marylander The
Baltimore american, a stalwart republi-
can organ, reviews the decision in an
editorial under the above caption, from
which we make the following extract:
"When Rear Admiral Schley submit.
ted his appeal from the monstrous judg-
ment of the court of inquiry he did SO
serene i'll the assurance that it would have
careful and unprecedented consideration at
the hands of President Roosevelt. That
assurance was afforded by the President
himself, who, in personal interview,
agreed to the wisdom of the appeal being
taken that the controversy might finally
be terminated, declared his freedom from
bias, and promised to render a decision
which should reflect his judicial impair.
TALLY and calmness. From time to time,
while the appeal was pending, the public
was assured that the President was care.
fully considering the matter, and that his
decision would be SO forceful and logical
as 10 settle once and for all the unhappy
contention.
"The decision has been rendered, and
no man who reads it can come to any
other conclusion than that the President
has committed an inexcusable bluuder.
The paper, in its form and contents,
shows the action of mind racked with
prejudice. 1t is not the verdict of Judi
cial impartiality, but must rank as the
emanation of such partisanship as is un-
becoming in one sitting as judge. The
only portions which contain aught of a
vigorous or decisive character carry with
them preachings which are ruinous to the
foundations of the morale of the service
and its esprit de corps. 1t is, essentially,
an exhortation in support of insubordi-
nation, and instead of terminating the
controversy will serve but to complicate
it by introducing new and hitherto un.
known causes for dissension The Presi-
dent had the opportunity to blunder or to
achieve brilliant result He chose to
blunder, and time, history and the Amer
lean people may be relied upon to hold
him accountable in due season for his
error. We pity President Roosevelt for
his blunder i'll degree as we hold in con-
tempt the base influences and sinister
motives to which he yielded aud which
inspired it,"
