SENSIBLE SCHLEY.

Rear Admiral Schley, retired, says
he is out of politics and intends TO
stay out. He is a sensible man and sets
a good example to his brother officers
Of the army and navy, who are alto
gether too prone to look to politics as
the aftermath of a successful military
career When this happens they gen.
orally find that they have drop
ped into a line of work that is alto
gether out of their class. While the
successful army and navy command.
er must be a tactician and in a GER
tain sense diplomat, still he is never
theless primarily drill master and q
martinez and as such is entirely unfit
ted for a political campaign master.
In the second place, his long expe.
riemce as a part of the military ma
chine has kept him SO completely out
St touch with civil affairs that he soon
finds himself cruising in strange wa

BILE spectacle when only a short time
