Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1898-08-25

Deny it as we may, it is fact that
the sentiment of hero worship is not a
more deeply fixed characteristic of any
people on the globe than the American.
While we make less of our army and
navy than almost any other nation, and
while we offer no provisions for re-
warding successful officers other than
giving them the promotions which they
justly earn, II is fact that the people
Of the country are always willing to
show their appreciation Of the heroic
and to reward it in SO far as they are
able by political preferment. We have
had five wars in this country, and the
people have in each instance taken the
popular hero who won success and
made him President In each case,
with two exceptions, they have shown
their gratitude or admiration by giving
such heroes double term in the execu-
tive office. After the winning of our
independence no one except Gen.
Washington could have been elected to
the presidency with such unanimity of
public sentiment and he would have
been chosen for the third term had he
been willing to accept it. Then came
the war Of 1912, in which Jackson was
the one who by his battle at New Or
leans won the popular favor. He was
defeated by the House of Representa-
tives in 1924, but he succeeded in 1923
and 1882. The various Indian wars
that covered the period from 1913 to
1887 caused Gen. Harrison to be wide
ly known and popular at the West and
made him the presidential nominee in
1910. His death in the first year Of his
administration, of course, prevented a
denomination for a second term. The
Mexican war made Gen. Taylor the ma
tional hero for the time, and caused his
nomination for the presidency in 194S.
He died before his term of office was
completed. The civil war made many
commanders dear to the people, but
Gen. Grant was the most sincerely be-
loved and nothing could have prevent
ed his nomination and election in 1863
and again in 1872. Other military men,
like Pierce, Hayes and Garfield, have
been chosen to the presidency, but it
was so long after their services had
been rendered that they were chosen
rather because of their political abili-
ties than their military records, cred
liable as they may have been. It is
worthy of note that none of the men
who by his sword won the gratitude of
the people was political general or
had been placed in position as a reward
for party service. In fact, with some
of them it was serious question to
which party they belonged, if to any.
AS a rule, political generals have not
won much renown as military men, and
they have usually returned to civil life
before the fighting was DONE The man
in war who does his duty faithfully and
succeeds will be more than likely to
occupy the presidential mansion if he
lives

grocer by telephone and place with him
her order for quarter of pound of
pepper, to be delivered at once. The
grocer is patient man, and he talked
very politely over the telephone. After
wards, however, he swore; then ne
laughed. He laughed loud and long
and remarked to himself occasionally:
"Good idea! That's richw About half
an hour later the well-to-do housekeep-
er was somewhat surprised to see a
great clumsy dray drive up before her
door and back up to the curb. In the
middle of the dray was tiny package
done up in yellow paper. The drayman,
after taking particular care to get his
huge wagon in proper position, adjust
ed the board from the tailboard to the
house steps, and with a thick stanchion
proceeded to slowly pry the tiny pack
age off the dray. With infinite care he
rolled it onto the step, the amazed
housekeper meanwhile watching the
proceeding from the doorway. Then the
drayman slowly presented the grocer's
bill for the quarter-pound Of pepper and
drove off.

WHY he is A TRAMP.

The candor of the man pleased Mr..
Corwin. He took the tramp into the
dining-room and had good meal set
before him.
When the stranger had eaten he was
invited to rest by the fire in the hotel
office. The landlord drew his strange
life story from him.
He said: II did not suppose that the
story Of tramp and beggar was of
interest to any living soul, but if YOU
want to hear it I will tell it to you.

Americans have reason to feel proud
of the expressions of foreign experts
regarding the recent performances of
our army and navy. These experts, it
should be understood, were sent here
as the official representatives Of their
respective Governments, selected on
account of professional and technical
qualifications, with instructions to OBJ
serve and report the actual facts re-
garding military and naval operations.
Coming as official representatives, they
were given every possible facility for
observing. and their opinions are emit
tied to full weight. Indoctrinated as
they were with European ideas of army
discipline and militarism, they could
not be expected to have any prejudice
in favor of American methods, and yet
they were unanimous in their praise of
the performances of our army and
navy, of the officers, soldiers, gunnery,
figting qualities. bravery. dash, endur-
ance-in fact, Of all they saw. So far
as the conclusions of these foreign OBJ
servers have been made public there
is no difference of opinion among them
or in the reports they have made to
their respective Governments. These
conclusions are gratifying to our ma
tional pride and will have much great
er influence abroad than any claims we
might make or than reports by our own
officers.

Canada and south Africa at the Lon
don conference has stimulated the
movement, and although it remains for
the Indian Government and the Aus
tralian colonies to accept the agree
ment, it is believed they will do SO.
The objection offered to the system is
a possible loss of revenue to some of
the colonies, but with the necessary
guarantee provided against, this uni
form postage throughout the extent of
the British Empire would go far toward
its consolidation and unity.

between decks during the engagement
in hosting and passing charges for the
great guns. After the battle at Manila
the Admiral found a number of Chi
nese stewards aboard his flagship with
their raw hands bleeding from the Ia
Dor Of hosting ammunition. The Ad-
miral recommended that these brave
fellows be made American citizens for
their heroic and valuable services on
board his ships, and it is to be hoped
that the recommendation will not go
unheeded. If these men are not worthy
of being granted citizenship 1t is hard
to say what they would have to do to
merit it. We admit the lowest of the
low, if they hail from Italy or Bohemia,
but debar the gallant Chinaman who
did such heroic work at Manila bay.

Tale of 500 Copwebbed BOTTLES.

A curious discovery has been made
at Heathield Park, near Eastbourne,
the seat of Mr.. Alexander, a London
banker. On demolishing an old wall
in the cellar the workmen found 300
bottles of wine behind it, packed there
seventy-one years ago by a former
owner of the estate, who intended
making the wine a present to his son
on the latter attaining his majority.
Deaths in the family prevented the de-
sign being carried out, and the exist
ence of the store passed out Of knowl-
