Protesting Too fltich.
THE LANCASTER New Hra is
not favorably Impressed
with the PM.optloriHl ado
which Admiral Sehly nnd
hi friends nte makltiK In tholr piepar
ntlon of hl rWonso their contlnunl
unloading tin friendly nowypaprrs of
rilre .iif pkinns of a dopattniontnl set

peals to sectional and partisan pteju
fllfe. One would almost think, from the
numbfr of iounel he has employed,
that Admlnl ?rhley has not so much
conflrlence In the piinl result of the
Inquiry he has aked for as he oucjht
to have," tint p.iper shiewdly re
marks "As there will be no one but
the judge advorata of the court to
present the other side, theie would
seem to be no necessity for such an
array of eminent counsel by Ad
miral Schley. Still another clrcum
stanee Is also nttractlnff public atten
tion. He and his friends seem unwill
ing to await the time of ttlal by the
court of inquiry, but are makthK a pre
liminary defne and argument In the
newspapers. It is unusual for a day
to pass that some phase of the ques
tion is not called up by his friends
and discussed by his adherents.
It certainly can never be alleged that
Admiral Schley has not been affnid
ed every possible latitude to clear him
self from the accusations brought
against him "
It Is to be hoped for the sake of the
naval service that Schley's vindica
tion miy be complete. It Is not pleas
ant to contemplate the establishment
against an Amtlean naval oiricer of
th accusations pending against him.
Hut inasmuch as the trial is to be be
fore a regular tribunal duly constituted
in response to Schle 's personal re
ritifst and composed of bi other officers
accepted by him as fair nnd unpreju
diced, this fuiious effott on the part
of his alleged friends to piejudge the
case in the newspapers Is unseemly
and scandalous, and tends lather to
Injure than to promote his prospects
of victory.
For some unknown reason the an

Training Toward Beauty.
T-IC rnnsiItHNT of Lafayette
college, Dr. WarfWd. In a
lecent issue of the Independ
ent, noted with ndmlrable
clearness what has long been tecog
nlzf'd as a neglected educational de
mand. There is no lack of emphasis In
the public clamor that the training
given in oir schools shall be pntctical;
that it shall fit the pupil in the quick
est and most economic manner for
wrestling with the tough problems of
what is called every day life. Hut tare,
very rare, as Dr. Warfield remarks, is
any plea for the beautiful presented,
or. we may add, any adequate explana
tion given to Inform the masses how
practical, in th long run, is proper
training In aesthetics.
It Is true, as the president of Lafay
ette points out, that there has been
wme effort to instruct In the hautlful
bv the introduction of pictures in the
schools, but these have tarely heen
selected for their merit and, when pood,
are rarely used to good advantage in
the cultivation of the aesthetic faculty.
Nature Irfi some localities imparts
through -ier beauty of mountain and
forert an Tin.efinsclous instruction in
the graces that beauty stimulates;
hut much' of the landscape m America,
notably Jn the hroad pralrl?s, la un
nterestlAjr a"nd desolate. As for the
idornmehis made by man In the aver
age American town or village, this In
Dr. Warfled's realistic plctuie:
"The smaller towns are commonly
markel by the extreme prominence of
the country tavern, with its conspicu
ous bar room and livery stable. The
more pretentious buildings, such as
churches, school houses and court
houses, e almost invariably without
a single tnatk of aesthetic purjiose.
Not a line, not a prnpottlnn Is given a
moment's consideration. Columns of
many klndi ate used without the re
motest conception of the laws which
govern the construction of rikIi sup
ports, whether mechanical or aes
thetic, .X!jd from houso to house, col
ors nom,forth In one unvarying dis
cord, whefe they do not feink down Into
the. flat sihabblnesH of long settled de
cay. And al this is heightened by the
strident notes of blll-boards presenting
the disgusting scenes of traveling
melodramas or thi' exaggerated de
llETUs of clrftuses and "Wild "West
ahows." As for the cltlen, most of
them are correctly described as Over
grown towns, with "much that h
rautiful In them, much that is ac
cessible to those who 'have time and
purpose, to go Jn seat eh of It; but
vcrv little, which Is so related to the
life of the people as fa nffonl an un
conscious education."
Motcovcr, "what la true In thlr ma
teilnl side of life I? true nlo of Intel
lectual tendencies. In rpeeih there Is
llltl recognition of the line phtne.
No American audience walls upon tho
honeyed lira of the inn tor nf the Ath
enians dl'1 In ancient Ot ecc or tlu
Vatlslans do In modem Krnncf. l'x
cept In very small Hides thcte Is llt'le
appreciation of the exqulrllo in foim
or fancy, and our speakers Inctenslngly
content themselves with a blunt and
rugged style, full of vitality nnd re
plete with facts, but ns tianlent as
the breath that give it utterance
What Is ttue of oratory is as true of
music. The standard of musical taste
In the country at large Is astoundlngly
low The musical Instrument that
are In demand1 Illustrate thlt on the
one hand, anrl the terrible wave of
'rng-tlme' which lately swept over the
country gives It emphasis. It Is not
necessity to speak of painting and
sculpture. These great arts scarcely
touch the average American."
. And the pertinent question which
Dr. Warfield asks, npropos of all this
neglect of a proper reverence for the
beautiful, Is, what ate wo to expect
from the youth brought tip In the
midst of such surroundings'.' There
Is no model for the carpenter's or the
blacksmith's nppi entice to form his
future on. There is no sugestlon to
lift the mind of any child to a recog
nition of beauty ot form or of color.
It Is left to rare genius to work out In
spells of Inspiration what ought to be.
a common heritage. Truly, "we stand
at a critical point In our history as a
people. We have In a most marvelous
manner mastered the elementary
problems of national life. We have
brought a great continent under con
trol. We have developed a free and
highly pioductlve life. Now wo must
meet the problem of making our life
as wholesome as It Is free, and ns
beautiful as It Is comfortable,"
Since the government was instituted,
J2.7fi3,1"0,03'? has been paid in pensions
to the victims of war. Uncle Sam's
record for generosity to his veteran
soldiers and their dependents is with
out parallel in the history of the
world. Hut the record of tho.e sol
diers shows that they well deserve It.
Our Railroads.
F" VW STATISTICIANS havo
mastered the science of rail
roading so well as Joseph
Nlmmo. Jr., and In n recently
published pamphlet devoted to show
ing why lirge railway combinations
have become essential to the stability
of commeice, he emphasizes by means
of llguies some instructive lessons.
One of thee Is that we owe our won
derful Industrial development chiefly
to rallro.u's. In ISiO the railway mlle
nge of the United States was only
9,o:i nnd the nitlonal wealth was only
$7.1"15.750.?:s. In ten yeats the railway
mileage trebled and tho national
wealth doubled Ten mote yeats saw
a doubling of tho wealth and almost u
doubling of the mileage. So it has
gone until today the railway mileage
of the United States .s UM.niS", or about
41 per cent, of the tallway mileage of
the world, nnd the estimated national
wealth Is $34,000,f"Xl,nnn, nr thirteen
times the wealth of fifty ears ago.
The development of our inllroads
has be"ti most notable since they came
to be controlled by laige combinations
of capital and enterprise, which knit
them together, introduced effective
economics and gave a more unlfotm
character of public service. This Is
proved by the fact that nearly twice
ns much freight Is now can led per
mile of road as was carried even ns
late as forty years ago, while the de
cline in tolls has been extraordinary.
Witness this table, giving tho average
receipts per ton per mile during the
years 1S70 and 1S9S, as follows :

Mediation Futile.
WAIili STHHr.T gossip has
it thnt Mr. Morgan and
Mi. Schwab, before the
steel sttlke vn de
clared, differed in their predictions ns
to the probability that a pacific settle
ment could be -reached. The foimer
was sanguine, the latter was ccituln
that the only way out wns through a
tight. This gossip is plausible beiuu.e
it corresponds with Mr. Morgan's attitude-
Just pi lor to the big toal stiiko
laht year nnd beeausi it also coirob
oiateH what is known as tu Mr.
Schwab's prut ileal knowledge of the
buslni'S in which he has proved lil
iti.iHtei-y. Hut now thnt the g-ugi? of
battle lwus been Hung down, all nc
countB agico that Mi. Morgan's Scotch
blood Is wnimtd for u stiucgle to tl.
last ditch; nnd this iroana thnt ef
forts to mediate a comniuniler will
not succeed.
All things corMldetcd, in spite of sen
timental talk to tho contraiy, It is
undoubtedly well that tho lonllkt, so
needlet-.s nt the beginning, and eo clout -ly
tin? wo.k of Fhort-slghted nnd ovci
umhillous libor leaders, hould be
tought to a finish. The tuition will be
expensive but tnismuch as the alter

come to a working out of the Arbuckle
plan on somewhat more liberal lines
Is conjectural, of course; hut the
popularity of the passenger steamers
that ply up the Sound or down to

Roston, Mass, Aug. 17 Here we
are In Hoton, the hub of the universe,
ns thla city is so often called. V
made the trip from Providence heie,
a distance of forty-four miles, by
trolley. It takes about five houts to
make the joutney over the route we
came, but what an enjoyable tide It
was. We passed through Taunton,
Brockton, Qulncy, and many smallet
towns. The tiolley system here is of
n superior otder. Lines of thlfl sys

will become entangled nnd not be
able to find bis wny about the wind

flis: town government was organized
and under Its administration the per

ted States a moro historical place to
vilt than Boston nnd Its enviton
mentn for a radius of foity miles.
You can fcarce go anywhere without
meeting with some historical intetest
connt-ctert with the early settlement of

Because of this you Indeed feel that

home of the brave." We are lemlnd
ed how our foiefathers hated tyranny
and oppioslon and loved liberty nnd
these things me Intensified tn us ns
wi- stroll nbout Hoston's many histor
ical places. It is pleasant to read
nbout these Fpots and of the events
which occui led on them hut how de
lightful it is to fee them, to stand
upon the very ginund where the
gient nnd noble pntiiots stood, wheio

Hoston Is the possessor of a mag
nificent park system containing miles
of superior roads, natural woods nnd
landscapes, benutlfully arranged flow

ing can bo enjoyed Theie Is the old
common, known of all over this coun
try, beautifully sltuattd, containing
idiade trees and seats for the people
of Boston to i est upon and enjoy tho
cool breezes nnd fresh air. This com
mon was laid out In 140 nnd contains
nbout forty-eight acres of land In the
heart of the city. It was orglnally
used ns a place for feeding cattl and
tho training of soldiers. The homes of
Boston so far as we haw been able
to see them have an appearance of
comfort and refinement nbout them.
I.Ik all dtlcs It hns Its slum rtlstilcts
where tho foreign element nnd filth
abound. Hoston might llko Brooklyn
be called a city of churchfs. Sonic of
the most imgnlllcien't architectural
woik ns well hs the oldest of church
buildings may be seen In Boston. One
can not travel far here and lead tho
church signs without icnllzlng he Is
In the midst of Unltnrlanslm. Hoston
ntVAs has nnd does yet possess its
celebrated preachers. At this season
of the year heav y fogs come upon the
city uml fteqtiently remain all day
which aie not only unpleasant to trav
elers but a souice of great hlnderanre
to navigation. Consequently you read
In the steamboat advertisements which
sail down the bay to the many plnces
along the shores "weather permitting
we will sail at such hours." To our way
of thinking Boston is a poorly lighted
city in the night time. It has the
electric light system throughout and
uses arc lamps, hut for some reason
there Is not as much light given as
should be. The narrow streets with
their high buildings are quite dark to
travel In durlngfthe night. This Is a
brief sketch of Boston as It was nnd
Is, the opening of a door where we may
look In the future upon the sights and
