HARRY G. O,vERToN IN
TROUBLE.

Harry G. Overton, we'll known in this
city, is in Jail in Butte, Mont, unless he
has been released in the last day or two
He is charged with attempting to defraud
the members of the Black Bostonian
theatrical troupe.
Overton organized the troupe in this
dity during the past winter and invested
considerable money in the enter prise. AZ
ter giving benefit performance here he
started on tour of the country with
them ond got as far as Butte, when his
funds became exhausted, the members of
the company insisted on having their
salaries and Overton became SO disguised
that he endeavored to leave with the little
he had left Of the wreck. He was arrest
ed before he could get out Of town.
Mrs. Ovevton went from this oily to
join her husband few days ago and AZ
rived in Butte after he had been arrested.
The Butte Miner of recent date describes
the scene that ensued when she found
him, and if its version OF the meeting is
correct Overton will have more troubla on
his hands than failure to pay salaries
would have occasioned him.-Des Moines
Leader.

HONOR THE HERO or
MANILA.

The feelings OF the Nation were fit.
tingly expressed last Tuesday toward
the hero of Manila, his officers, and
men. Acting on the message from the
President, both houses of Congress
passed bill creating another Rear Ad~
miral in the Navy, and resolution of
thanks to Dewey and the officers and
men under his command. The Senate
also passed resolution introduced by
Senator Lodge, authorizing the Presi-
dent to present q sword to Admiral
Dewey, and medalsto officers and men
under him who were in the battle of
Manila. 1t appropriates $4,000 for the
purpose.
The President and Congress acted
promptly in giving official recognition
to the victory wen by Commodore
Dewey and his mem The President was
never more felicitous than when he
said in his message to Congress-: ''The
magnitude of this victory can hardly be
measured by the ordinary standards of
naval warfare. Outweighing any ma
terial advantage is the moral effect of
this initial success. At this unsurpass-
ed achievement the great heart of our
Nation throbs, not with Boosting or
with greed of conquest, but with deep
gratitude that this triumph has come in
a just cause"
Senate and House felt the truth of
this and they acted without delay on
the Presidents recommendation that
the thanks of Congress be given Act
ing Rear Admiral Dewey and the Off
GERS and men under his command. This
resolution was passed by unanimous
vote and a bill passed both houses in
creasing the number of Rear Admirals
and making provision for the inmed-
late promotion of Commodore Dewey.
This prompt recognition Of high serv-
ice and courage by the executive and
legislative branches of the government
will have a good effect on army and
navy. The hearts OF the people are in
this war and they join most enthusias-
tically and appreciatively in the action
OF President and Congress.
Tie victory at Manila was not only
momentious in it's bearing on the future
of the United States, but it was stimu-
lating in giving new vigor to the cam
paign against Spain. 1t is now certain
that two or more brigades of troops
will be sent to the Philippine islands
and that an army of fifty or sixty
thousand will be landed in Cuba as soon
as Admiral Sampson is ready for operat-
ions against Havana. The plans of the
government contemplate distribution
OF troops and warships for defensive as
well as offensive warfare. There is
now vigor and high spirit in every
quarter. The horizon widens as we
move forward on the impulse that car
ried us into war. It is not Cuba alone
that rises on the new vision but the
Philippines, Porto Rico, Hawaii-a
more distinctive Americanism with
higher aims and wider sweep.
