Politicians as Press Agents.

The discussion of the Maclay history in
the House yesterday recalls the circum-
stances under which Admiral Schley felt
moved II ask for court of inquiry.
The charge was made in the public press
that Maclay's third volume had been adopted
a text book at Annapolis. The fact
that MaCiay in that volume had commented
In the severest terms on Admiral Schlcy's
part In the Santiago campaign and battle
was matter for settlement between the
admiral and Maciay and his publishers. A
civil suit suggested as the natural or
der Of procedure. But as it was stated that
the government had indorsed the Maciay
view. and would use it as text in the
instruction of the cadets at the Naval
Academy. this OF course threw Maclay into
the shade. and brought the government for
ward as the principal in Admiral Schley's
complaint.
! But. as matter of fact, the charge had
no foundation whatever. The moment an
investigation was ordered it was shown
that it had not leg TO stand on. Not only
had the volume not been adopted as a text
book at Annapolis. but not a copy of II was
10 be found either in the academy or in the
town. Superintendent Wainwright prompt
ly put the most positive and complete denial
upon the whole story.
Had Admiral Schley been advised of the
facts IN the case would he have proceeded
as he did? So far as the Naval Academy
was concerned, could he not safely have
left the matter to care for itself? At any
rate. would it not have been time to ace
after the offense charged had actually been
committed? 1t Is Uncomfortable that any
superintendent of the academy whatever
his personal views and feelings might be
would ever use as a text book in that in
stitutiOn a volume written in it's Santiago
chapters much In the vein of an intern
perate partisanship.
In this day of literary press agents. with
scare yarns put upon the market for the
purpose of booming the sale of this per
formance and that, Maclay's luck with re-
spect to his history must strike some people
as phenomenal. The politicians seem all to
be In his service. Every day of the agita-
ton against his books helps to keep the
public reminded of 1t. and probably to in
crease the size OF his checks. It is a good
deal indeed like putting a premium on what
one desires TO suppress

Cuba's Natal Day Approaching.

Next Tuesday at noon the stars and
stripes Will be lowered on the governors
palace at Havana and the Cuban flag will
be hoisted in its place. That will be the
sign that new nation has been born after
many wears of travail. The Cuban flag has
already appeared in an official place being
hoisted by Governor Wood when President
elect Palma entered the harbor of Havana
but that was only in courtesy, and as such
was appreciated by the Cubans. Mr. Pep
per whose letter to The Star is published
today. describes the sentiments of the peo-
pie of the island on the eve of the assump-
tion of full insuar independence He pre-
sents the picture of a calm public senti-
ment, waiting for developments. There is
some anti-American spirit, but it is sub
merged. and the prevalent feeling is one of
thankfulness to the United States for its
sacrifices and good offices. 1t remains for
Congress to determine by its acts whether
that feeling shall grow with the extern
sion of a practical reciprocity in trade, or
shall wane az the evident duty of the
United States toward the new nation in
the matter of the encouragement Of in
dustry and commerce is neglected or only
half performed.

America is bent upon forcing the hard
coal operators to realize the power of that
organization. If he succeeds in calling out
all the coal miners he will undoubtedly
produce a most impressive demonstration
of the unions destructive capacity.
Judging from the readiness with which
the request of the hard-coal men for a
convention of the United Nine Workers was
seconded by the Michigan. Maryland and
West Virginia districts. forming sufficient
number for a call under the rules Of the
body. the plan for this next move in the
fight must have been we'll laid in advance.
The reports from Hazelton assert that
Mitchell is confident of his ability to per-
suade the convention to declare for a gen.
eral strike. Yet interviews are printed with
delegates from the soft-coal regions who
declare that the miners in those sections are
satisfied and that they will not join a gen.
eral strike.
The hope of the country today is that no
call will be issued which will precipitate
such a tremendous conflict between capital
and labor as general strike of the coal
miners would uAavoidaby cause. There is
danger enough in the hard-coal situation to-
day without so great addition to the peo
pies anxieties. The distress ensuing from
the strike now on will soon become acute
if the tie-up continues even for a few
weeks, for in addition to the $4,000 men
who have left the mines, fully 80 0o0 rail-
road employees have been dropped because
of the necessary curtailment of the service.
Thus there are today approximately 200. 600
wage earners out of employment. probably
a large proportion of them without re-
served resources. Such a violent disturb
ance of the economic situation will call for
the most judicious mana cement by the
leaders on both sides, as well as the Off
GERS of the peace, in order to prevent dis
astrous outbreaks.

Independent Press.
From the Galveston News.

From the Galveston News.
1t may almost be set down that the spirit
of independence in politics begins with the
press. The press of this country, during
long and weary years. when almost every
paper was a subseryient and bitter organ
made for itself a record of which few
thoughtful Americans are at all proud. 1t
followed a discreditable round of laudation
on the one hand and condemnation on the
other. which is drawn out by the comedians
of today as special line of stage fun. 1t
ragged and raved until with the assistance
of the masters in politics whom it served, 1t
led the country into civil strife and into the
chief troubles inherited by the present gen.
Grafton. During recent years the press has
been doing better. and a most creditable
spirit of independence is noticeable the
country over. The press Is coming around
to the idea that the party should be held to
it's promises. condemned for it's mistakes
exposed in it's rascality. just like other
bodies of men are treated

makers had triumphed. But the change in
orders left many fades trainless, they hav-
ing eagerly welcomed the chance to tighten
both the physical and the financial burdens

to be made to court to admit these train

and a special dispensation was granted in
their cases. But hereafter woe betide the

chamberlain for admission to the royal
presence bereft OF sweeping following Of

with the prompt relief which they
afford. For sale by THE SECOND

The latter denied the charge and said
he had purchased it from a farmer.
1t was a question of veracity between

cided to let the goose make the de-

seph White was told to take the bird
to the vicinity of Mrs. McDonald's

goose turned from Mrs. McDonald's
