Unlty Of ActlOn Necessary.

To achieve any worthy object that is
beyond the possibility Of individual eff
fort requires unity Of action. One man
alone could not lift 1000 pounds If he
was paid a million dollars for doing It,,
but 100 men could easily accomplish the
task. Under the modern means Of pro-
ductlOn II Is impossible for man
standing alone to improve his condition
or even maintain his standard Of life.
II ALI individual working in a factory
employing 100 men approaches the en-
pIoyer and asks for more pay he is treat
ed according to circumstances. If times
arc good he is patted on the back and
told what a fine fellow he is and that
II he is good the boss will look into his
case, and just as soon as times will
warrant It he will get an increase, but
he never gets It, II times are dull he
is told to "get out" II the wages do not
suit. On the other hand, If the 100 men
In this factory are organized and they
make united demand for increased pay
or show q united front in opposition
to a cut in wages they usually sue
Ceed. Unity of action being necessary
to accomplish any great undertaking it
naturally follows that our first duty Is
to thoroughly organize the craft. When
that time comes tasks that now seem
impossible will be easy Of accomplish

The Shawnee county Democratic con-
vention adopted a resolution indOrsing
Eugene Wolf for Lieutenant Governor.
The resolutions also commend the pres
ent State admisitration in the follow
ing resolution: "The present State ad-
ministration, for the existence Of which
the Democratic party is largely re-
spOnsible, has justified the hopes and
defended the interests Of the people and
has earned the cOmmendati0n Of right
thinking citizens without regard to
party"
The resolution indorsing Mr.. Wolf was
a surprise. 1t was not known that he
desired the place or that his friends
would present his name. He Is level
headed, fair-minded young lawyer, who
served as assistant, postmaster during
thu last Democratic administration. He
has always been a strong fusiOnist and
supported Bryan and Leedy in the 1896
campaign as actively as the strict rules
Of the postOffice department would per-
NIT.
The resolutions indOrse the Chicago
platform, express confidence in Bryan
declare that public sentiment forced q
reluctant administration to move in the
matter of freeing Cuba, declare that In
spite of political differences the Demo-
cratic party will support the President
in the prosecution of the present war,

Dewey Compliments His Opponent.

Washington, May 28.-An officer who
was Admiral Deweys classmate has re-
Ceived a most interesting letter from
the distinguished sailor, dated "off Ma
nila." After modestly speaking of the
fight, Of the remarkable gun practice
displayed by all his gun crews, Dewey
says:
"As we moved past Corregidor, the
Olympia being in advance, suddenly
not fifty yards to the right, there was
a muffled roar, and a column Of water
shot upward thirty or forty feet high
In moment another to my left. so

almost any man would at that time and
place, when Farragut roared out
through his trumpet, D the torpe-

sigualed the feet to follow, and it did
most gallantly.

$500 yards. Every shot took effect. The
Spanish Admiral MOntijo fought his
ships like hero. He stood on his quar-
ter-deck until his ship was ablaze from
stem to stern and absolutely sinking un-
der his feet, then transferring his flag to
to the Isle de Cuba, he fought what was
left OF his feet, standing rearlessly amid
hail Of shrapnel, until his second ship
and over 100 Of her crew sank in a
whlrl Of water like lead.
1T seems TO me that history in its
roll Of heroes should make mention Of
an admiral who could fight his ships so
braVely and stand ON the bridge, coOlly
and calmly, when his feet captain was
torn to pieces by one of our shells at
his slde sent him a message telling
him how / appreciated the gallantry
with which he had fought his ships, and
the deep admiration Of my officers and

liant crew. think, my dear Norton, that
had you witnessed this, as did, you too
would have sent the brave sailor the
message caused to be sent him, to
which he responded most courteously."

LONDON. Sept. 19.-The Manila cor
respondent of the Times says the in
surgents. urged by constant rumors of
the intention of America to re-esrab-
lish Spanish rule in the archipelago,
continue actively recruiting their army.
Hundreds from Manila are enlisting
daily, and troops are being drilled
everywhere. Great diligence is exhib-
tied in initiating the American forma-
tien and manual, particularly in volley
firing. Intrenchments in certain posi-
tions are being strengthened, and a
vigilant line of pickets is kept out
side the suburbs.
At the same time the attitude Of the
insurgents is more friendly than be-
fore the evacuation. Several thousand
rifles have recently been landed. Four
new Maxims have also been landed.
The provincial leaders are paying into
the insurgent treasury a certain por-
ton of the fund captured from con-
vents processing to preserve the re-
mainder for the payment of their
troops. By this means they keep prac-
tically independent of the central au-
thority, preserving the integrity of
their own command A General occu-
plying one rich province sent to Agun-
aldo $50, 900 in cash last week
The agitation among the insurgents
is stimulated by the clerical party,
which uses every effort to influence
the natives against American occupa-
ton. Evidence to this effect is aoso-
lutely trustworthy, although Arch
bishop Dozal and other prominent &C.
elesiastics strenuously deny all knowl-
edge Of such action and solemnly dis
claim personal participation in it.
All manufacturers are much ham
pered; the tramways are frequently
stopped and railway trains are seri-
ously crippled, and a discontinuance
of the service is threatened. The strik-
ers naturally drift into the insurgent
ranks, consequently labor disturbances
are not discouraged by the leaders.
Nothing important is reported from
the insurgent Congress, which holds
sessions daily at Malolos. The chief
element of cohesion is confessedly the
fear of the return of Spanish domina-
ton. If the insurgents should receive
reasonable assurance of a permanent
