ROOSEVELT AND SCHLEY.

Senator-elect Rayner of Maryland in
his address at Baltimore last night,
speaking of the Schley controversy,
said: THE treatment of the case of
Admiral Schley is without parallel in
the history of this country. The pres.
ident promised to give Admiral
Schley a fair hearing. He broke his
promise, and was guilty of duplicity."
This Is not he first time like state
ments have been made Admiral
Schley has himself said that the presI-
dent practically invited him to bring
the case up to him on an appeal from
the naval court, with assurances nc.
only of the fairest possible treatment
but with an intimation almost akin
TO an assurance thai he inclined to
Admiral Dewey's view, which, II it
had been adhered to. would have re.
suited in the complete vindlcation of
Schley. Admiral Schley. 1t has been
said, would but for this have rested
upon the minority decision of Admiral
Dewey in his favor. which decision
he country was generally accepting
as the correct and proper view
The presidents action on the appeal
Is quite fresh in the minds of the
reading public. Instead of supporting
Admiral Dewey's view, he. seemingly
in order 10 deprive Schley of the ere
dit TO which he was entitled as COM
mander of the fleet at Santiago in the
absence of Admiral Sampson. took the
position that the absence Of the com
manding officer did no. confer com.
mand on Schley, the next in rank, but
made ii a captains fight" with no
one In command The president thus
promulgated a ruling and established
a precedent. the effect of which. If
followed. will be obliged 20 result in
characterization and decentralization
and 1t is In conflict with all sensible
precedents and rules and regulations
governing the navy of this country
and of every other enlightened eoun-
try on the globe
This par. of the presidents decree
which formed the basis of the decree
against Admiral Schley. was simply
piece of recklessness for which the
strenuous head Of the nation is noted
in his treatment of many other impor
tant ques.ions.-Nashville Banner

THE ST. LOUIS BoooLERs.

| The shamelessness of the corrup.
tionists in the st. Louis house of dele
gates has not been laid bare in a
clearer way than by the confession of
Charles F Kelly, who was speaker of
hat body Of infamy. and whose trial
will begin next Monday.
kelly's confession shows to what
lengths the lawbreaker will go 10
achieve his purpose. Failing TO init.

duty aud uncover their dishonest
practices. Kelly frankly admits that
he and his partners in corruption pro-
posed TO murder Circuit Attorney Jo-
seph w. Folk. The confession shows
also how completely the city of St
Louis was in the grasp of the corrup-
tionists. Their methods, described by
Kelly with such brazen tongue, re-
veal a condition almost unbelievable.
Read what he SAYS:
When the present prosecutor (Cir-

says Kelly. continuing. that bribery
has been going on in the municipal
assembly of st. Louis for twenty-five
years. Not bill has passed that be-

importance that was not paid for. We
did not fear exposure and punishment
