WASHINGTON LETTER.


The arrival of the Atlantic fleet |
at Magdelena Bay, Southern Cal
ifornia, without accident and four |
days ahead of schedule time is
the occasion of the utmost graft |
fcation to the President and
the naval authorities in Washing
ton. This is the longest cruise
so large a fleet ever undertook
in the worlds history and its
satisfactory completion is proper
| ly the occasion of qualification.
Admiral Evans has sent an offic-
ial report to the Navy Depart
ment and the President has
caused to be sent a telegram of
congratulation to the brave Ad-
miral who, in spite of great phys
ical Affections, has so ably COM
manded the great fleet on it's long
voyage. Incidentally, the fore
casters of evil who were so GER
tain the fleet would come to grief
in Magellan Straits will have
to think up some other dire end
ing for the flower of the navy.
The submarine boat scandal IN
the House is assuming unfortun-
ate proportions. Not only has
Representative Lilley made a
startling statement of the i'm
proper influence exerted by the
submarine boat company, but
| Representative Hobson, formerly
Lieutenant of the Navy, has tes-
titled that when he first came to
Congress representative of the
company, who had been his class
mate at Annapolis, called him up
over the telephone, after first
writing him several letters to
: which he paid no attention, and
assured him he would, if desired,
| secure Hobson's appointment by
Speaker Cannon on the commit
, tee on Naval Affairs. Mr.. Hob
E son told him he did not desire
submarine boat influence and
secured the appointment without
assistance on the recommended
ton of the Democratic leader,
Mr.. Williams. The committee
: which Mr.. Cannon has appointed
I to investigate this affair does not
seem to be too anxious to develop
t the facts, but with a few more
: witnesses like Hobson they will
come out whether or no.
d Senator Carter is also endeav
oring to secure an investigation
f in the Senate of the so-calleC
Bieber land scandal, whereby on'
Sidney Bieber, the special pro
tege and friend of Speaker Can
non, secured legislation calculat

Another Richmondin the
Field.
BY LEO.

field there was a desperate battle
fought between the forces under
King Richard III and those under
Henry of Richmond of the house
of Lancaster. Richard lost the
battle. Having lost his horse ne
cries
"A horse! horse! my kingdom
for a horse
| thing there be six Richmonds
in the field;
Five have | slain today instead
of him
A horse! horse! my kingdom
for a horse"
Ere long Richmond tells his
fellows;
"The day is ours, the bloody dog
is dead"
From this comes the saying
"There is another Richmond in
the field"
Some democrats are using that
phrase today in allusion to the
governor CT Minnesota, who has
entered the field in a fight for
the nomination at Denver. He
seems to be a good man for the
place but it is hardly probable that
W. ]. Bryan will fail of the nom
nation. It looks to us that john
son would make the better chief
magistrate if elected, for he talks
so little as compared with Bryan.
Great takers are oftentimes poor
doers.
But in spite of this, the demo-
Gratis will choose the peerless"
for their leader once more, per-
haps several times more. He is
in his prime as yet. We are quite
sure that the republicans would
prefer Bryan for a leader OF the
democratic host before any other
man, because his record is so re-
plete in political blunders. He
can be so easily assailed. john
son is a man not much known to
the country, and what is known
of him is favorable to him. His
record is clean.
For nearly twelve years Bryan
has been in the front doing val
liant fighting for what he es'
teemed right for the country,
and every battle has been against
him. Of course he thought HIM
self right every time: but the
country thought otherwise. Anc
if he be given the leadership II
this year of 1908 his fate is al
most sure to be another defeat
He can stand it.
And yet the democrats cal
hardly do better than nominate
WI. Bryan. And can hardl!
blame them for it. Bryan cal
have a larger vote than any othe
in the party. His popularity l
a phenomenon. Almost any 9th
er man would be considered un
available after two defeats: bu
BRYAN seems to suffer nothin
by defeat.
Henry Clay was a candidat
quite often, and although a ger
ial, warm-hearted, and eloquer
speaker, he never reached tn
presidency. This may be tt
fate of the peerless He ma
be nominated again and agar
but he is not a Richmond" /
win the crown: but a Richard
to lose the battle.
We notice that Bryan CRITICS

met there for the purpose of fix
ing the manner and time for

asked that the date be fixed
for August the 18th. The vote
stood 10 to s in favor of June 6.
Another test came when a place

10 to s. 1t was noticeable that

lost their lives. The children on

those in the upper apartments
stampeded and many Of them
were trampled to death. Par

fore the election until they be-
came hoarse, have concluded
that it is a good law.
