Admiral Dewey is one type of American-subdued and courteous, but sufficiently vigorous on occasion. Con- modore Schley and Captain Bob" Ev- ans belong to another class, the bluff and hearty type, who put snap" into their talk and keep considerable SUD- ply of profanity on hand. unless the correspondents misrepresent them. But the main fact to be observed is that all three of these naval commanders of ours have the fighting instinct, and are cool and collected in a tight place. Whatever their temperamental differ ences, they are efficient officers at critical moments, and the public has entire confidence in their ability tc achieve creditable results in any con- tingency.

the Charleston leaders have been busily
urging defeated Republican candidates

Such course on the part of Mr. Daw-

A LEGAL VOTERS CHAIN.
The Plan Of the Anti-Imperialist League
for Getting Signatures Against Annexa-
ton

The Plan Of the Anti-Imperialist League
for Getting Signatures Against Annexa-
ton
BOSTON, November, 2o.
The organizers at the head of the Anti
imperialist League are actively at work
every day. Many signatures have already
come in to the protest against the annex
alton of the Philippines. Plenty of Repu5-
licans sign the protest. There are others
who do not, and their reason is either that
,, they believe that the United States should
| take the Philippines from Spain and then
turn them over to some other power as
soon as possible, or that they do not wish
to embarrass the President by working
against his policy. or because they do not
yet believe that the President expects to
take the islands. 1t is not easy to find
men here who are oft ind out IN favor
of the permenent annexation OF the Phil
ippines to the United States. The almost
universal opinion here is that we do not
want the islands, but the perplexity is
how to get rid of them honorably after
having helped destroy SPANS power
there. A. canvas for signatures to the
protest finds that this is the prevailing
sentiment among Republicans in this To-
caIity If the complication had never
, arisen, most of them would be thankful.
plan has been submitted to the Anti
Imperialist League, which has been partly
adopted, for taking what may be a popu-
lar vote in the shortest time possible. 1t
is proposed to make a Legal Voters
Chain in order to weld the opposition to
Imperialism in one mass One thousand
names are or soon will be on record, of
men scattered throughout the country
who are known to be ready to take a very
energetic part in the protest against inn
perialism. AS fast as they can be printed
LOCO legal voters protests printed on
card requiring only one-cent stamp
will be sent in ten parcels of 100 each to
each of II csc men, who will make link
No. in the chain. Each of these men of
link No. is expected to find ten men of
equal energy and activity to whom the
packages of 100 each will be given, their
names being registered as members of
link No. 2. In each Of these parcels of
100 will be ten envelopes of ten cards
each. and the members of link No. will
again find ten active men, whose names
will be registered. to whom these cards
will be sent, making link No g. These
ten men of link No. 3 will then find one
each who will get ten men-link No. A
each of whom will get ten signatures
on each card and then mail it, Volunteer
subscriptions are coming in freely, and if
the League is warranted in ordering 600
COO cards at once, they will be SO ordered
or else they will be ordered in parcels
of 900 each as fast as they can be used
and paid for Fifty packages of 1000 each
have been ordered.
Volunteers for links l. and are now
called for Addresses should be sent to

III WON'T WASH.

The Register inquiries why the Intelli-
gencer did not publish the statement from
Col Roosevelt which was in the Associ-
ated Press dispatches last Saturday The
Register well knows that the Intelllgencer
does not publish a Sunday edition, and
that it is physical impossibility to pub
lish two days dispatches in one edition,
nor is it always expected that news mat
tiers shall appear in full in a Monday pa
per that We're entirely covered twenty
four hours earlier by the Sunday press
lntelligencer.
The hypocrittical organ would bet
ter have left this fiimsy excuse unut-
tered.
The Intelligencer pretends to cover,
in general way, the most important
news of the Sunday papers in it's Mon
day edition. Yet although it was the
most important news Sent out by the
Associated Press Saturday, the Intel
ligencer did not have line or word
even of reference to it, although it pub
lished on Monday other items of news
infinitely less important that had come
Saturday and appeared in the Sunday
papers.
The excuse will not do. 1t is not
truthful and our neighbor knows it.
Everybody knows the organ would
have found ample room for Mr.. Roose-
velt's scathing expose and rebulIe of
the "Whitewash Board" if it had been
other matter, say partisan Repub-
lican screed of some sort.
The very prominent fact remains
before it is newspaper. This is not
the first Associated PR IS news it has
suppressed in the interest of partisan
politics.

WHAT MR. ELNINS WANTS.
The recounts in various parts of the

rule, the Democrats have the best of it.
The most outrageous attempt at a count
out was in Marshall. We hope that the

have less to say about scratched bal

Mr.. Elkins prefers a county commission

Elkins wants goes in Marshall. 1t is the
desire of the Senator to have Republican
counties under the control of Republican
commissioners. How he came to allow the
thing to go by default in Tyler is Won
