1T WAS ONCE DEUEUA.

The Name Of the Hero of Manila Said to
he Of French Extraction.
Orville Thomas Dewey, the vice pres
ident of . Cincinnati insurance corpora
hon, is first cousin Of the hero of Ma
nilla, and he recently corrected some er-
rors in publications concerning that
muob talked about gentleman.
Admiral Dewey is but 58 years
DID," said Mr.. Dewey. "and was not
born in Montpelier, VT, as has been
printed. George was born in Rochester,
but settled in Montpelier at an early
age. His father. my fathers brother.
was DR.. Orville Dewey, and he founded
the National Life Insurance company Of
that city and state. One of the chief
characteristics Of the two elder branch
es of the Dewey family which settled
in the United States was their mathe-
matioal abilities. They wcgb always
noted for being exceedingly clever at
figuring out problems involving great
risks. Another characteristic is their
Independence. They have never been
olannish with relatives. The name was
originally spelled 'D-e.u-e-ua' and is
Of French extraction. OF che two
branches Of the Dewey family which
settled in the United States one located
in New York state. tha other in ver-
mont. It isa common name in the east.
Our branch is pretty well known in the
northwest. Some are in Michigan and
more In Wisconsin. |"
The records OF the family show an
early ancestor to have been one of the
successful generals in the Franco Prus-
sian war. The Orville in the name Of
the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune's
informant is family name, as evi-
denced in that Of the father Of the vio-
tor. The admiral has, a son about 90
years of age. In appearance tho Cincin-
natl cousin greatly resembles the pic
lures of the admiral printed in the
newspapers.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, aud that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the

The Army of rIammou and the Army
of Mars.

President Mckinley received the bond
bill as passed by the two Houses on Mon
day at 2 O'Clock and signed it at sos P
IN. Immediately 1900, 900 circular letters
of instruction to money order offices were
put in the hands of all army of clerks to
send out, directing postmasters how to
proceed to sell bonds. The Treasury de-
partment had at the same time bid in
its hands from New York from the
National City Bank, the Central Trust
Co., aud Vermylie & Co. offering to take
all or any part of the $500, 600, 900 bonds.
This rapid movement of the army of
Mammon was all accomplished in piece
of an afternoon.
Last week three Spanish canoe gun
boats poked their noses out of the harbor
of Havana, saw an American cruiser and
ran back into the harbor without being
fired at The newspapers in their jovial
way reported that three Spanish battle
ships were waiting in the Gulf TO inter
cept the army transports when they lett
Key West for Cuba with troops. At the
same time the festive newspapers called
the little canoe gunboats phantom"
ships. Valiant Mckinley heard the story
and was frightened apparently out of his
wits, and halted the transports with IS 900
men for several days in the boiling waters
of Gulf and during the hottest days OF
last week and up to Monday at noon, till
he had gathered a fleet of ironclads to
protect the transports from the "phan-
TOMS" a fleet of war ships powerful
enough to sink any navy Spain has ever
had since or before America was discov-
cred. In those iron ships, and especially
the monitors, the thermometer rose to
1902. The men were parboiled, many OF
them entirely exhausted, and some Of
them will probably never recover from
the cooking. Tie army of Mammon
moves with the celebrity of electricity,
while the army of Mars is held i'll a
tropical furnace for days by phantom in
the brave McKinley's brain.
were landed to prepare and hold place
for the safe landing of the 5000 men
who should have arrived but were being
porboiled at Key West, while Spanish
guerrillas attacked at night the little band
and killed four or five of them.
These war movements show the status
of our brave President ever since he pro-
nounced the epigram that made him
famous, from his front portico in Canton,
-"Open the mills in place of the minis, y
as tho mills could be opened without
money, which was the cause of the mills
closing. The epigram is worthy motto
to place over Ounce school.
Under Mr. Mckinley the soldiers OF
Mammon move forward like an ARMY
with banners, conquering and to conquer,
while he halts the army of Mars in fear
of phantom ship, to be cooked i'll a
furnace, for ten days

Alliance With England.

The address of Mr.. Geo. A. Blake be-
fore the graduating class of West Noting
ham Academy last week was almost con-
fined to the war with Spain, its prospec-
tive results, and in favor of an alliance
with England. Mr.. Blake strongly ex-
pressed himself in favor of such alliance
in which the two nations would form ties
so close as TO become almost one in prin
ciple and policy
The principles of government on which
the two nations are founded are diamet-
really opposed to each other; i'll fact they
are antagonistic. England is a monarchy
with an hereditary aristocracy. The
genius of this republic is a pure democ-
racy or intended to be and claimed to be
such by its 4th of July orators. 1t has
been warped considerably from its pur
pose and has been badly corrupted, but
not irretrievably so, by corporation gov
eminent. The great contest now being
waged is between the spirit of pure de-
mocracy and class privilege with the latter
i'll the saddle. That element is over
anxious to form all alliance with the
British government in order to strengthen
its power in the battle it is waging TO
overthrow democracy and establish OH its
ruins the divine right-not of kings but
of money and privileged class rule, and
Mr.. Blake pleads before the young grad
mates the overthrow of popular govern
ment-perhaps unconsciously-and the
erection OH its ruins one of a special priv
ileged class when headvocates ar alliance
with Great Britain, which, when the
American republic was weak was ever its
insiduous or open foe.
The republic has become young giant
and the selfish aristocracy of England
would now court its favor to prop its
threatened oligarchy. The sentiment is
un-American, but the American mind is
being corrupted by this insiduous poison
instilled by the great newspapers of the
money centers that are nearly all owned
by and controlled in that powers interest.
The United States have advanced to
their present colossal strength and
wealth, not by any friendly aid and en-
enlargement from Great Britain but in
spite of them. We need none and want
no closer alliance with England than we
now have.
England's naval and colonial power is
being disputed by continental nations,
and their lords of the land and money

The President is to Blame.

In the present issue of this paper we
publish an article from the Sii0ey Knight,
Senator Stewards paper, which by the
presentation of few facts, now part OF
history, plainly fixes the cause of the war
with Spain upon McKinley's laundering
and palpable inconpetercy. Had the
President done the honest thing, the
right thing, by Cuba the chances are
many to one that there would have been
no war, and had war come it would have
been of Spain's making.
Nothing could be more stupid to at
tempt to intervene forcibly TO prevent the
Cubans fighting for their liberty, and
Spain from fighting to reduce the insur-
gents to submission, which they had sue
cessfully withstood for three years, with
the United States government under both
Cleveland and Mckinley aiding Spain.
The Presidents plan of intervention
could have but one Of two results, that of
assisting Spain to subdue the revolving
Cubans or war, with Spain contend
ing that the United States had no bus
mess to interfere with her internal affairs
A more laundering piece of business,
lacking every semblance craftsmanship,
it is impossible to conceive. All along
the President has given the Cubans the
cold shoulder. He made no effort TO
provide them with arms and supplies, but
rather to avoid doing so. The recon-
centrados he succeeded in totally exter-
minating by his so-called policy, and to
give some show of grace to his policy,
the administration papers suddenly dis
covered that Gomez had no semblance Of
an army and that the insurgents were but
a few bands of euerrillas aud BUSH
whackers and this in the face of the fact
that they had successfully resisted 2oo 900
Spanish soldiers for three years.
Now that the war is spreading from this
continent to that of Asia, and threatens
to become conquest of all the islands
possessed by Spain, and an army of
200, 900 men and fleets which are rapidly
assuming gigantic proportions, to COM
plete and hold such conquered territory,
the question is looming up in formidable
proportions, how are these newly acquired
territories of twelve millions or more in
habitants to be governed? Already the
spectators are swarming round the
capital and planning carpet-bag govern
ments and plumber for political party
favorites, and McKinley's aimless pur-
pose and nerveless hand begins to reveal
the danger which threatens the people as
the mountains of debt and taxation loom
up out of a system of the most extrav-
agant expenditure ever recorded in the
history of any war.
No danger was ever apprehended by
any person from weak and effete Spain,
but from the opportunity which the war
is affording the speculative cliques that
use Mckinley as a plant tool to effect
their purpose of fastening their gold
standard and tremendous public debt,
bank and monopoly rul" on every pro-
ductive industry and producer.
They paid down $40. 900. 900 to place
weak, aimless man in the seat occupied
by a Washington, a Jefferson, a Jackson
and Lincoln aud are planning to take
out of the toll made wealth of the people
a thousand millions i'll return.

are striving to rope in the United States
to aid that class to hold its ascendency,
not for the benefit of the human race but
for the interest of a titled and money own
ing class, the head of the latter being the
great lew oligarchy of the Rothschilds.
The people of the United States, ifwise,
will shun and oppose to the death any
such alliance, This same class of Amer
leans who before the war with Spain
broke out were for peace-at any-price, are
now the great war champions and bond
advocates. They have their man Friday
-Gage-in the treasury, who has already
arranged with the bankers to leave the
money paid for bonds remain in the
banks for the use of stock spectators,
until the government is ready to pay it
out. This class of English alliance pro-
clivity are for the conquest, not the llber
alton of Cuba, the Philippines and all
other Spanish islands and holding them
as conquered provinces, to be ruled and
robbed by administration carpet-baggers.
This class and their newspapers are III
dustiiously belittling the Cuban insurrec-
tionists as unfit for selfgoveanment, men
who have submitted to untold privations
and defied the whole power of Spain for
more than three years in heroic strug-
gle for liberty, before which the hardships
of our revolutionary struggle pale The
marvellous wealth of the Philippines is
attracting their greedy eyes and they are
planning the conquest and permanent
servitude of this far off group i'll the
Pacific, not for the liberation of the Phil
ippiners from the tyranny of Spain, but
as a conquered province from which tc
draw wealth to aid in corrupting the
home government and politics. The
cliques that run the administration are
busy representing the Philippine people
as a race-or. several races-of savage:
which will need carpet-bag government
appointed by the President to hold then
in subsection. In the face of this the
Philippine insurgents have produced {
leader whose ability seems to challenge
fair comparison with the best the United
States can show, as an organizer ano
general.
Ii is not the mission of this government
to hold in subsection peoples they are
brought i'll touch with, but to free ant
give them helping hand in selfgovern
ment They will never learn selfgovern
ment till they are given chance te
practice it.
The mission of this nation and people
is not alliance with the aristocratic class
of Great Britain and to cramp and con
strain free government for other peoples
but to give their encouragement and ait
TO establish free institutions among al
peoples they come in contact with. Any
other policy invites the overthrow o
of popular government, which is already
struggling for preservation at home.

WOOD PuLP's VARIOUS USES.
The Number of Things Made from II
Surprising to the Uniniated.

1t almost looks as If the old saying
"cottn is king" might be revised to
apply to wood pulp. Wood pulp has
been used as a substitute for iron,
steel. wood. stone. glass, ivory and in
Vulnerable kinds of animal and Vege-
table fiber. As a manufacture for car
wheels the manufacturers have FOUND
ii to be superior to any kind OF me-
tai. being about three times as durable
as steel and much more elastic. 1t has
been found available as q material for
paving bricks, drain tiling and con-
duits for electric cables. For ivory,
which is becoming scarcer every day,
celulose is the best substitute that
has yet been found.
When properly treated it Is practical
ly proof against heat and moisture;
hence it has been found superior to
timber as a material for telegraph poles
and screws. Cannon, too, and bicy-
Cles are made out of wood pulp in
Germany and Chicago, respectively
while Frenchman has succeeded in
producing a thread from the same sub
stance which lie declares can be work
ed up into all sorts Of fabrics.
A Vienna inventor declares that his
wood pulp leather is superior to animal
leather in fineness and durability.
Among the other articles made of wood
pulp are boats. canoes, cugpidors, pals,
flower pots. tables. chairs, bureaus, bar
rels. wagons. horse shoes and imitation
porcelain ware. The manufacture of
silk from pulp wood is now an import
ant industry in England and France.
And in wood DulD the resources of
Maine seem TO be almost limitless.
