It took three yours exactly from tliu tlato o( huuliug in I'orto Hico to got plain duty into notion hut it has arrived at hint. ft ft There will probably be tho name scandal ovor tho salo of tho govern uiout transports that there was ovor tlioir purchase. The Filipinos wore so uncivil in oine places that tho civil govern' uiont has had to retire for repairs What is going to linppin? It lias boon two months since the, London cables reported Russia on tho brink of war with some nation or other, ft ft The Senate defeated tho French reciprocity treaty because California said it would ruin her fruit indus try. Now California is sending her fruit ti.lHR) mile to l'aris and underselling tho local growers. Can such things be? o Times have certainly changed. Certain Ohians who denounced bolting five years ago are now or ganising a bolt because they have sunk from majority to minority. It does make a difforco whose ox is gored. ft ft ft Although some people are trying more or less successfully, to con fuse the issue, yet there is undoubt edly a difference between a tariff for the protection of American in dustries in genornal and a tariff for tho projection of monopolies, ft ft ft Possibly the steel trust may find something to arbittuto before tho strike is over and possibly nut Meanwhile the United States is los ing her opportunity to capture the Btecl trade of the world. ft ft Is this heat one of tho results of expansion? Did Uncle Sam buy the climate when he bought the is lands? Representative McCall of Massa chusetts says nearly all the Atneri can ollicials In itiB fh" were either appointed from Vermont or born there. This may bo true, but if so, we shall have to rcvisenur ideas about the predominance of Ohio. The Havana authorities claim that the only cause for thedelay in trying Neeley lies in the failure of the war department to return some necessary papers which were for warded for perusal some months ago. This is a somewhat different Btory from that given out by the war department. $ It being more than a year until election, some of the republican papers are geting quite tariff-re-formieh. Such symptons usually came at such times. They arc only temporary, however. Twenty-eight big sea going Amer ican steamships are now being built for ocean trade despite the fact that the subsidy bill failed and although its sponsors declared that, without it, Americans could not af ford to build ships. Hows this? Now King Edward can't get the big diamons he wanted at his coro nation because some American has bought them all up. It's a cold day when John Bull doesn't run against some American terror. ft It was over in eastern Oregon that an editor printed an item which stated "the man who was hugging the hired girl had belter stop or his name would be published." In a few days about twenty-five citizens had paid up their subscription and told the edi tor to pay no attention to foolish stories going around." V Admiral Schley's application for a court of inquiry gives tho presi dent a chance to settle once and for all the entire miserable business. If he is wise, he will take the whole thing in his own hands and ignore the navy department completely. The public, rightly or wrongly thor oughly distrusts all acts in this connection that are inspired by the navy, and the public will watch the course of the investigation with the very closest attention. Any ground whatever for a belief in the unfairness of the judges will vitiate the whole proceedings. Foley's Honey and Tar fures colds, prevents pneumonia. ,v woimiv snriisson.

Tho Sampson Schley contro versy is again raging liltn a limine afire. Coiteervntivo friends uf belli regret this, but if it leads to a eon givsMomil investigation that will bring out the rear facts which now seems probable, it may do good bv preventing future revivals of the eontroversv. The pro-cut revival was started by the publication of the third volition of Maelny's His tory of the U.S. Navy, which is used us a text book at the Naval Academy, in which Hear Admiral Schley is called "coward" and other insultiiigepithets, The auth or, a clerk in the lhooklyn Navy yard, in saying that he had sub mitted proofs to Secretary Long, was uuder.tlooil to mean that Secre tary Long had approved of the use of the abusive epithets, This Secre tary Long lost no time in denying, lie also ordered the objectioua! vol ume stricken from the I i -J t of text bunks at the Naviil At a.leniy. il Secretary Long had u!!ovu )ih denial to end with his having i-aid, "it is ah; aid to say that 1 would endorse his language when he calls Admiral Schley a coward, Admiral Sibley is no coward. No one in the service who knows him lias ever for a moment doubted his bravery or gallantry in action." The friends ol Schley wouldn't be so lighting mad, but be continued by saying Unit in stead of the Navy llepartiuentbeiiig opposed to a congressional investi gation, he had written to Senator Hale, chairman of the senate naval Committee, asking for one, ami maiie the lire not ter than ever th udding: "Admiral Schley should have been court-martialed as foon as we learned at Washington that he had deliberately disobeyed his orders when searching fortlieSpmi ish ships. 1 suggested to the pres ident that Schley's action might to be inquired into, but the president demurred. Thoday that we learned Schley hud tunic. 1 back was the darkest day in all thehistory of the war. Tre-i'lent felt convinced that Admiral Schley had soinegooil rea son fur turning buck, and would not order a court-martial. When Admiral Sampson took charge of l.l il . I r.. l e t VV.. H'i' "Li'I'LTJ"? a court-maitiat nccause he was a junior ollicor, and assumed that Ad miral Schley would ask for a court of inquiry, when he learned that the navy Department was dissati- lied with his course," ! The warrant olhcers in the navy, whose status is about that of nun commissioned oilicers in the iiruiv, are not falling over each other in their eagerness lo putjii applica-; tions t . take the examination pre- scnlH'tl by the navy department, the suecesslul passiiij; of winch will uive them coniissioiis as ensigns. It was in connoction with this ex ainiiiatioii tha' Hear Admiral Samp son wrote the fool letter about tlunner Morgan, who is bar rid by iifie from taking the exaiuiiialion. Although applications to take this examination must be 111 led before July oOlh, only two have been re ceived. Ollicials of the navy de partment say it is fear of the dilli cully of passiii the exiuniiiation, that has prevented more applica tions, and an ollieial statement giv ing a synopsis nf the scope of the exaiiianlion, has been made public, for the apparent pui pon) of indiie iiil,' tnoro warrant oilicers to apply. Old warrant oilicers, when they can be got to talk, tell a different story. They say that the bright young fellows in the service know that their lives would ho niiulo a stand ing torture by tho other commis sioned oilicers should they suc ceed in passing the examination and getting a eoniission, and have wisely decided not to iniiko the ef fort. So many army oilicers who did not graduate from West Point have become prominent that the prejudice against outsiders has been dulled in the army, hut there are very few holders of naval com missions who did mil graduate from Annapolis anil who are not dead opposed to any other niel hod of get ting one, and consequently bitterly predjuiced against those who suc ceed. (lertnany seems determined to do everything in its power to hamper, and consequently to lessen Ameri can trade with that country. U. S.
