General Miles management OF the

lustre to his fame as soldier, al
though he fought no great battle and
won no brilliant victory. He con-
Quoted the campaign with consum-
mate wisdom, whose effects are now
becoming apparent. The country al
ready knows that, while there was
some bad work attending the trans
portation of his troops. it was not due
to any fault Of his, and was remedied
as soon as he knew Of it, while, as a
whole, the expedition was admirably
conducted. 1t knows. also, that his
plans for attacking the enemy were
skillfully made to accomplish the cap
ture Of the island without any posi-
bility of defeat and with minimum
loss Of life. But it is only beginning
to perceive that his subsequent deal
ings with the surrendered Spaniards
and the Porto Rico civilians were such
as to prevent lawiessness. and disorder,
and to. change the allegiance of the
island from Spain to the United States
| with scarcely more friction than at

In several very important respects
Dewey resembles Grant. He Is original
and audacious Nobody ever heard
him grumbling about any inadequacy
of means at his command or the char
acter of the task to which ne is as
signed. He does his work promptly
and cheerfully with the forces at his
disposal. He does it SO thoroughly
that it will never have to be done over
again by him or anybody else. Dewey
will, in history have the primacy
among the fighters of the Spanish war
which Grant had among those Of the
war Of secession. The contest for Sec
ond and third place among the great
personalities of the war of 1898 may be

!. - shy man an this country mas
earrad well q vacation, this year. that
man is William Mckinley. 1t is, there
fore, pleasing news to the millions who
love and honor our nations head that
he will soon leave Washington for a
few weeks rest, No living man has
been under a, greater physical AMI
mental strain than that to which Presi-
dent Mckinley has been subjected
since February Is. All pretend to un-
derstand and appreciate this, but few
really do. The actual work dictated
and personally done as result Of the
war. its inception and it's conclusion
has been enormous. But more wear
ing still has been the keen apprecia-
ton of a tremendous moral RESPONSE
hility. and his anxious determination
to meet this in a way that should
glorify his country, be just to that
countrys enemy, and encounter the
approval Of both earthly historian and
the Judge of all things.
Americans have reason to be proud
of their President. His public and
private life have given him hold upon
the hearts of the people such as few
rulers have ever. possessed. In the
most trying hour of an awful emer-
gency he has proven equal to every de-
mand. No American since the time OF
Lincoln has borne so great a re-
spOnsibility. The sentiment Of the
general public was we'll expressed by
the Merchants Association of New
York which has sent to President Nc
Kinley letter saying: "By your calm
ness, your patience amid most exciting
and exacting circumstances, your
strong apparent determination to do
fully and we'll everything which would
help the cause of this country, You
have been an inspiration, not only to
the troops in the field and the men on
the ships. but to the citizens who have
remained at home watching your
course daily" The tribute is well
earned and expressed with discrimina
ton.
= 1t is to be hoped that the Presidents
vacation may be a period of rest The
people should be kind to him, but not
with the kindness which kills as is too
often our course with those we honor
highest. It is not reasonable or just
for the people to pile upon the Presi-
dent at this time demands of a nature
which he finds it difficult or impossible
to refuse. 1t is we'll that he should
visit, as it is announced he will do,
the camp at Montauk and the vic
torious fleet at New York, but he
should be excused from his engage,
ments at the Grand Army encampmE1
at Cincinnati in September and at the
Omaha exposition a little later. His
attendance would be an admira BILE and
patriotic function, as a rule, but this
year President Mckinley has earned
and needs nerve-restoring quiet "a
stead of nerve-exhausting travel and
excitement. Let him be allowed t.
hasten away to the shore or noun
tains, to Maine in preference to al
other spots, where with few friends
around him he may rest, unpursued by
destructive kindness, and recuperatt
the strength and energy which will bt
required by the great work yet lying
before him.
