William T. Sampson.

Rear Admiral Sampson will rank as one
of the leading and most notable contribu-
tors to the up-buildng of the modern
American navy. He was thorough and
painstaking in everything he did. a close
student of men and equipment, a believer
in progress in every department of the
navy. His departmental work while the
navy was being restored to modern eff
cheney was of the highest grade and DEM
onstrated that he possessed clear insight
into the needs of the service When war
came this mastery of details was of the
greatest value to both Rear Admiral Samp-
son and the government. His blockading
orders during the Cuban campaign were
remarkable in their completeness and eff
cheney. The results of that campaign
amply proved his worth without reference
to any of the unpleasant developments to
which unwise factionaism and short
sighted partisanship later led.
Rear Admiral Sampson was not a man to
command the attention of the crowd. He
was of the students disposition rather
than the politicians. He loved the navy
for its own sake. not for what 1t might
bring to him incidentally in rewards or
fame The services of such men cannot
be too highly estimated. For years he
contributed to the efficiency of the force
which later, partly under his command,
was to achieve such. startling success. The
navy of decades hence will feel the bene-
fetal influence Of his wise judgment in
every line of naval endeavor.
The controversy which ragged about him
during the last three years unquestionably
quickened his dissolution. Men more po-
litic, more compromising. better versed in
the ways of the world, might have with
stood the onslaught. But this student
sailor was not Of temperament to with
stand the abuse and criticism heaped upon
him.
When the historian of another genera
tion writes the record of the navy during
the last quarter of the nineteenth century
he will find 1t necessary to accord to wil-
lam l. Sampson the credit for having laid
many stones Of the foundation of the or

France and America.

Our distinguished French visitors will
soon be here. and will be most welcome.
Their mission will appeal to the best senti-
ment of the country. The assistance rem
dered by France in the days of the revolu-
tion is a story which is always recalled
with gratitude and pleasure, and it is to be
celebrated at this capital now in a most
graceful way. Frenchmen of renown and
Americans of renown will mingle together
in the renewal of a bond a century and a
quarter old and which should endure for
ever.
But We may well prepare ourselves for
little criticism and some cyncsm. Com
ing soon after the visit of Prince Henry,
the occasion will answer as text for those
who regard us as hysterical and ridiculous
1t will be pointed out that we are easily
tickled by the attention of foreigners. and
especially those who are titled or of high
political estate. We are readily adopting.
we shall be told. the extravagancies and
insncerities of the old world. and will
shortly he par with those whose game
1t is to profess all things to all men.
We may likewise expect to hear again
that France really bore us no love at the
time she rendered such valuable aid.
Hatred of England alone moved her. The
narily have aroused no sympathy in any
French bosom. What did the average
Frenchman of that day know or care about
the questions that had brought the EN-
battled powers into the field? He was
under the pressure himself at home, and
on the eve of wreaking a terrible ven-
geance on his prosecutors, but 1t required
something more to have him cast his eye
across the Atlantic. That something was
his implacable hatred of England. and 50
he gave up both his heart and his substance
to help the Americans set up a government
of their own.
1t Is a good time to pass the pessimist
and the cynic by. The thing to remember
Is that France did take sympathetic note
of our distresses and came to our assistance
Opportunely and invaluably. The COM
manders she sent over to serve under
Washington were men of a superior stamp,
and they executed her commission with
bravery and fidelity. They caught at once
the spirit of the struggle. They earned the
praise of Washington, and in that way
earned the lasting remembrance of his
countrymen. Their deeds are still fresh in
the national recollection, and the highest
words of eulogy will be appropriately en-
ployed in recounting their story at the COM
ing Interesting ceremony.

Every few days a panic occurs in some
crowded assemblage. cry is started and
the crowd rushes pell nell for supposed
safety. but as a rule actually to serious
injury. Some day a wise legislature will
frame law which will adequately punish
the person who thus awakenS the slunber-
ing fears of thrOng by an inconsiderate
or a mischievOus Outcry. Even the inno-
cent utterance of a foolish fear may de-
serve some measure of retribution. If only
to teach others the virtue of GOODNESS in
emergencies. But for the malicious wretch
who starts a crowd moving in panic for the
sake of seeing the disturbance there can
be no proper punishment short of long i'm

method of procuring funds Is by form of
loan or advance, which can be repaid chief
ly by those people who are most directly
benefited This is true of sewers. of street
extensions, of the enlargement of the water
service and Of all such installations which
provide for the future growth of the city.
But there are other enterprises in view
than those which pertain strictly to the
maintenance of the municipality, embraced
in the park improvement plan. partly of
practical use partly of esthetic value. These
threaten to call from time to time for heavy
drains upon the local funds. If there is
reason now to go into the pockets of the
current taxpayers for the bulk of the cost
of the necessary municipal works which
mainly benefit posterity, there will be equal
reason to go to the same source to defray
the expenses of this greater Washington
plan. On the other hand. the principle of
letting posterity share in the expense of
the betterments provided for it applies
equally to the practical and esthetic enter
prises.
The Senate should therefore authorize as
the first step a federal advance to the Dis
trict. If it computes the probable revenues.
with the certain increase in real estate
taxation, as insufficient to pay the current
expenses and maintain a suitable sinking
fund, then. and only then, should it devise
some further method of raising revenue,
such as by a reasonable personal tax law
so framed in it's schedule of rates and of
taxable objects to meet the prospective
deficiency between the expenses and the
ordinary revenues. Since the amount of
money to be raised in this way will not In
any sevent be large, there will be no neces-
sity compelling drastic and sweeping tax
measure. and the ineauitable. inquisitoria
and double-taxation features of such enact
ments may, If Congress pleases, be reduced
to a minimum.

"Hell-Roarin' Jake"

The trial of General Smith has ended.
and the finding of the court-martial is on
its way to Washington. The guess in Ma
Mia is of an acquittal But it is only
guess. The verdict will be given to the
public from this point
Meanwhile we may expect to hear many
changes intended to be damaging to Gen
eral Smith rung on his nickname. Hell
Roarin' Jake" will figure in many smart
paragraphs in the ant-imperialist press.
The name, it is thought, fits the charges
upon which its owner has been tried. And
so the effort will be to prejudice the public
against him by famliarizing it with the op
prObious term
But this sort of thing sometimes fails.
Nicknames are common, and the most Of
fersive have been bestowed upon men of
action. In fact. to be thus tagged has
often been one of the penalties of success.
Mr.. Lodge recalled Monday that Cen
eral Grant was called The Butcher" He
would fight. and he preferred piercing the
center of the enemy to finding and turning
the flanks. This called for heavy losses,
but it brought results. His soldiers were
devoted to him, and never failed him, hard
as the work might be to which he had as
signed them.
General Sherman was frequently referred
to as Crazy Bill" But his insanity took
a dangerous form for the enemy After
overcoming the stupid assaults which were
made upon him in the early days of the
war, he mastered his problems with sur
prising readiness and success, and showed
rare method in his madness. He observed
the rules of civilized warfare. but gave a
liberal Interpretation to the severest of
them.
General Sheridan after the Shenandoah
campaign was characterized by his enemy
as The Wild Irishman." 1t was insisted
that he had executed his orders with a Sc
verify not contemplated by his superior of
fiCer. He had laid the rich valley waste
but in doing so had used his torch, it was
charged. far more freely than he could JUS
tify. But the charges were never supported
by proof and he received from his superior
high praise for his work

Wild Irshman" did the finishing business
for the confederacy. They were great SOL

The Wisest First Step.

If a personal tax law is to be enacted at
this session of Congress that proposed by
the Senate District committee which Mr.
Mcmillan yesterday moved as substitute
for the old law of 1877 re-enacted by the
House the District appropriation bin
Is with some further notifications far to
be preferred. But before determining the
question of personal tax and of the form
and scope of such a tax, if one is essential
the Senate should consider and pass upon
the proposition of a federal advance for
permanent improvements.
The revenues Immediately in sight do not
quite meet the requirements of the District
local bill it passed the House, and are
further yet from meeting those which the
Commissioners include in their estimates
But ii is assured that there will be a con-
siderable increase in the real estate taxes
during the coming fiscal year, sufficient to
accommodate all the ordinary items of mu-
nicipal expense and perhaps to provide
sinking fund for a loan to cover the larger
extraordinary items of capital Improvement
So the District continues to ask for the
adoption by the Senate and the retention in
the bill of a provision for a federal advance
large enough to carry on the projected
works mainly of benefit to the taxpayers
OF another decade This legislation is asked
on its merits, in accordance with the prece-
dents established by all other municipaii-
ties and in pursuance of sound business
principles and common sense. and not in
any spirit of unreasOning hostility to a per-
sonai tax. which as an additional revenue
raising device may also be demonstrate ed to
be necessary. Take, for instance the
matter OF the filtration plant. The bill
carries now an appropriation of SGoOOOo
Tor that installation, which in the nature
OF things cannot be finished and put
into service for several seasons If the
tax money is taken out of the current
revenues and applied to this purpose 1t
means that the taxpayers of the pres
ent and the Immediately succeeding years
are to be forced to pay for the whole
plant. from which they will not derive the
least benefit while paying. An equita-
BILE method would be to procure the money
necessary for this Improvement by means
OF loan, to be repaid in installments or
Dy means of a sinking fund to which the
taxpayers or the water takers would con-
tribute during period Of fifteen or twenty
years. so that the people who will enjoy
the benefits of filtration will give their
snare toward its establishment

funds for the work are paying the rent of

Fight Hard.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

There are only two courses open to us.
either to abandon the Philippines or to
maintain our authority there by force of
arms. and If we are to do the latter, as
our army officers must do until Congress
prescribes some other course, it is cheapest
in the end to wage vigorous warfare, with
view of speedily ending the struggle A
middle course only tends to pro-
long the resistance and increase its
strength. If the army must fight at all, it
should fight on Grants principle, and pro-
mote peace by vigorous warfare.
