DEWEY'S DIPLOMACY.

George Dewey is growing man. He
not only knows how to fight, but in his
crude way he is a diplomat. His diplom-
acy is not the diplomacy of letters, but
the diplomacy of action. 1t seems to be
effective.
He heard that rash and stupid Ger
man officer was interfering in Subic Bay
in behalf of the Spanish. In other words,
this German officer would not permit the
insurgents to take Isla Grande. Some
men would have wired or written to
Washington and waited for adyices,
which advices would have come after the
home authorities in Germany had been
consulted. This was not the Dewey way
of settling little matters of this kind
He simply sent gunbOat and cruiser tt
investigate, as the matter was put. Blu
they didn't have much to do. The com
mander Of the little German ship Iren,
knew the temper Of the Americans, ant
by reason Of this knowledge he skipped
He had no desire to be investigated.
Here was case where discretion wa
the better part Of valOr. The German
knew that Dewey's diplomacy was alto
gether different from the European brant
He knew that it lacked polish and prC
fuseness; that II he said thing, b
meant It, and was ready to back up HI

easily accessible by the electric line.
The city will extend the water main to
the home and furnish all water free
Gas, electric light and the main sewer
are allu within easy reach. Oberlin is
much pleased over the acquisition of the
new Home. The plans for the new
building are now being prepared. Bonds

The United States seems to take as
naturally to water as a cat takes to
cream, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Six months ago we did not know cruis-
er from gunboat, and now we are nau-
tical to the notch. We talk boats and
think boats. We have pictures of boats
all over our daily papers; boats decorate
our magazines, boats cover our bill
boards. We fight naval battles with
gravy boats and sail cracker boats il
wastes of steamy soup. The mere pig
mics of the land, the crawling infantry
and hOppity-kickity cavalry, the trun
ding artillery are for the moment SCI

FROM THE PALMETTO STATE.

Relative to the Welfare of People and
Things "A-way Down South in Dixie"
Editor Enterprise rainy season
is now on us and the abundant rains are
doing great good. The orange groves
are making a wonderful growth and
prospects are very 1attering. The war
that is going on does not disturb us in
the least. Our boys have gone out at
the call of the president and can say "us
Yankees" with as much gustO as native
of Connecticut.
Many of the northern soldiers express
their admiration for our beautiful sum-
mer weather. They came down here ex'
ppcting to swelter in an Over-heated at
mosphere and when they learn by exper-
ience that we have none OF that dry
suffOcating heat so often experienced In
the north. They are ready to say, "giye
us Florida" and "when the war is over
WE intend to have a home in Florida. "
Another thing that surprises them is the
fact that living is cheaper here than In
the north, One fact we have noticed Is
that flour is cheaper here than In the
north. The owner of large mill IN
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, came down here last
winler and found our merchants were
selling flour at retail cheaper than he
sold il at wholesale at his mill. lie
thought the railroads must carry 1t down
here for nothing and pay a premium for
the privilege.
There are many new industries being
opened up in the stale. and many people
are coming every year to make this thell
home, but our state is large and the pop
ulation is not large and good lands are
vet abundant and cheap. The tobacco
crop will not be as large as was antlcl'
pated, owing to the dry weather at thf
time of planting. There will be large
acreage planted this fall, which will
have the benefit of plenty OF rain. Il
is estimated that the acreage Of sweet
potatoes is four times larger than eVel
was before planted any one year. INT
woods are full of "razOr backs', so nj
doubt potatoes and bacon will be plenty
and with the addition Of an Occaslona
oppossum or coon, we will live high
Quail shooting will be geat thing tbl
fall, as there are thousands OF bob
whites everywhere.
WatermelOns weighing 80 pound
each have been reported as being shlpe'
by car loads. A melon OF that size Woul
make darkey happy for day at least
There will not be many oranges IN thl
mart of Florida this season, owing to tn
cold snap we had on June lst and Znc
it chilled the fruit buds enough to mai
erially shorten our crop.
The political excitement is small heI
as every one is too much interested l
the outcome Of the war to care for pol
tics but we have an election this ia
and suppose candidates will be electe
war or no war.

OUR GREAT NATION.

The virile nations of the earth are five,
the grown strong nations, the nations
that are trying to develop civilization.
They are the United States, Great Britain,
Germany, Russia, and France. The de-
velOpement Of the world is in their hands
and the best of them, the two that have
the highest ethical ideas with their civil
izatiOn, that can do the most and best for
the world, are Great Britain and the
United States. These two nations, says
the New York Independant, if they will
only work together, can put their veto on
the rest of the world. They are the best
of friends, they make no entangling al
liances and do not need to; but, if they
can only understand each other, they can
control the worlds history. They ought
to do it. Our nation is now to be world
power. We are to be felt, and We will
be felt only for good, in the worlds poll
tics. We cannot escape our destiny, and
we do not want to. We have mission
and must accomplish it for liberty and
humanity. Our institutions, and our
freedom have been lesson to the world,
and such liberty is the worlds only hope.
1t is our duty to help the world to such
liberty; not to stand behind a soft lam
part and give them our worthless moral
sympathy, but to take part in bestOwing
human rights on human beings, This
we are doing for Cuba and for the Philip
pine islands, Spain cannot govern a
colony. This war ought not to stop till
Spain is stripped of every possession out
of the peninsula that would be free OF
her tyrany. God has put this task on us,
and we should see that it is completely
done. But what shall we do with the
Philippine islands, One thing we musl
not, cannot do-delivey them back tt
Spain. We may have to keep and rule
them for awhile. We can do it wei
enough. 1t is not task too hard for us

words with a few eight and ten-inch
shells placed where they will do the most
good. So discretion whispered, "Get out
of here and get out quick" He followed
the advice, and the temporary Interrupt
tion to the work Of the Philippine insur-
gents came to a most speedy and timely
end, timely at least, as far as the German
ship was concerned.
Possibly by this time, the men in
charge Of the German fleet know few
things they didn't know before. One Of
the things is that Deweyis diplomat,
but he doesn't try it on until after he has
a fight. Then, he is ready to hear an ar
gument after his opponents ships are
out of order. This knowledge will have
tendency to break up the rubberneck-
ing of few inQuisitive German officers
in Manila bay, and it wasn't broken uI

The one London paper that is openly
and enthusiastically on the side of Spain
in the present war is the Saturday Re-
view. Here is one Of its "warmest" SEN
tences: "The gentlemanly and digniied
Spaniard meets his big and clustering
opponent" We suppose, caustically re-
marks contemporary, there is nothing
on earth equal to the gentlemanly and
digni6ed way in which Spaniard can
burn a hospital, torture a prisoner, muir
der a non-combatant, split open the
head of a revOlutiOnist, put a bullet
through the heart of woman who tries
to get food for her starving child, or
transfer public funds to his own pocket
There is such thing as style in barbar'
ity and corruption, and the Spanish
style seems to please the Saturday Re
view. All of which goes to show tha

A SERMON TO HUSBANDS.

The NewspO pers Should he Bnn1she0
from the Breakfast Table.
The average man eats only two meals
a day in his own house, and these meals
are the opportunities for social and do
mestic talk, delightful to the wife, who
has no such opportunity as her hus-
band of rubbing against other minds all
day. and important to the children in
widening their horizon, their views OF
life, says an English exchange.
At the first meal of the day most
women like to talk to their husbands
about the plans of the day, but the
woman who has once received the dis
trait, self-absorbed growl which EN-
anates from male disturbed in the
reading of his newspaper does not again
attempt to ask her husband this or that
on q subject of domestic interest. The
back of newspaper is not pleasant
thing to contemplate across the break
fast table.
Think of this, husbands, when you
look round for the casters or other suit
able prop for the back OF your paper.
and for the sake of good manners, for
the sake of your wife's feelings and the
example to your children, remove your
newspaper, reserving it for the train
omnibus, or tram-car.
Of course there are occasions when
matters of absorbing interest must be
looked to at once-telegrams of thrill
ing import. Why not glance at the pa
per five minutes before the breakfast

Cross Policeman and n Passing Ma

There is big policeman at one of the
crossings on Fifth avenue whose duty
it is to prevent people from immolat
ing themselves on the altar of their own
carelessness, and to this end he beckons
and warns and invites by a wave OF
his friendly hand or command OF his
stentorian voice. At the same time hG
smiles in the most reassuring manner,
says the Chicago Tribune.
A few days ago, when the mud was
spread in liquid abundance over that
portion of Chicago, this policeman
beckoned to stately matron of ma.
ture years to cross between an incom.
ing street car and an outgoing dray,
with several minor vehicles wedged be-
tween. But the matron refused with
severe shake of her dignifed head md
waited.
Come over, tell you'll" roared the
big policeman, with his regulation
smile.
She waited until nothing movable
was in sight, and without deigning tc
notice the man of helmet and visoi
sailed past his outstretched hand. A
broad smile was on his weather-beater
face, as, nothing daunted by the scorr
Of the naughty dame, he said;

swering smile, as she went her way.
