A Promise of Revised Censorship.

AS a result of General Greely's tour
of inspection in the South, the system of
censorship may be revised. 1t is found
that the prohibitive qualities of the cen
sorship are not as complete as at first
supposed. A good deal has been printed
in some of the dispatches from Santiago
which have done the service no good and
some of the information has found its
way to the enemy. In addition much mat
ter has been turned down by the censor
which was perfectly harmless.

ADMIRAL DEWEY is the one figure
who stands out above all the other
men who took active part in the bat
ties OF the war, as q commander who,
with enormous responsibility resting
upon him, has not yet one mistake TO
answer for, so far as has been develop
ed. He has proved himself to be one
OF the greatest men of the century.
He stands with the three or four great
man. But his manhood Is of a sort
that seems to be inspired direct
from the creator. Where were the
visioos OF the dresmers, where the
forecasts of the prophets, after
he had opened with his guns on that
memorable first day OF May a new era
for our great country? Where we're
the barriers of prejudice, where the
restraining hand, after he had entered
Manila? 1t will be found that history
will ascribe to him place among the
greatest OF the great that have made
our country what 1t Is. He has won by
sheer merit, by hard work, position
that entities him to the highest honors
q grateful republic can bestow. Dewey
is now q rear admiral. No higher
rank exists at present in the United
States navy. But a few times in
the past heroism and worth OF even
lesser significance have been reward
ed in n specially suitable way. Far
rsgut was made vice admiral. Two
years later, in 1866, he was made ad-
miral by special act OF congress, and
Porter succeeded him as vice admiral.
When Fsgarrut died, in 1870, Porter
became admiral and Rowan vice ad-
miral. Since then these grades have
not existed. The time is ripe for re-
vival OF these ranks, permanently. a
navy rs large as ours needs an admiral
and vice admiral. George Dewey
should be promoted to be
full admiral, with no quail
flying adjective. And there Is only
one name to be thought of for an in
slant In connection with the exalted
position of vice admiral. That man is
w. s. Schley. If congress at its con-
ing session sees tit to make these high
ly merited appointments, not a dissent
ing voice will be raised among the
people whose opini )ns are worth listen
ing to. On the contrary, the nation
will rise and cry amen amid thunder
Gus applause.
