REWARD FOR DEWEY'S TEN.
Specifications as to the Big BOunties

Specifications as to the Big BOunties
They Will Receive.
Commodore Dewey's squadron stands
to win some handsome bounties as a
result of the victory of Manila. Just
how much and how the prize money
will be divided cannot be foretold ex-
actly in advance of more precise infor-
nation regarding the battle than
has reached America yet. Based,
however, on the official dispatch of
Commodore Dewey, says the New
York Press, there was not ship in the
Spanish feet which was not put out of
the fight, Upon the truth regarding
some other vital particulars hangs the
gross amount of bounty and how it
VIII be divided.
The laws of United States provide
that if in a battle we sink or destroy
or have to destroy, because of the in
juries she sustained, a warship of an
enemy which is inferior in fighting
force to the attacking ship in our feet,
the United States will pay to the
officers and men of our successful
feet bounty of 500 for each person
on the enemy's ship the amount to
be divided the same as prize money,
If the enemys ship is of equal or sup
erior force to ours, the bounty is $500
If the actual number of men on the
hostile feet is not known, an estimate
is made according to the complete
ment of our vessels of equal fighting
force.
There is a question of relatiye
strength of the squadron. Themeas-
ure of strength, according to the law
is the fighting force of the ships.
Gagged by the guns in the main bat
terry of both feets-the usual standard
of fighting strength-the American
squadron was the superior, having
fftY-three guns to forty-one of
the Spanish. But the fight was not
in the open sea. It was in the harbor
where the American ships were under
the fire of four batteries, mounting
Krupp guns of from 3 to 12-inch cali
bre. The Spanish forts combined
with the Spanish fleet certainly over
matched Dewey's squadron. If this
condition be accepted the men of the |
American feet will identified to $500
a man, instead of 500. As to the in
dividual matches in the two fleets, our
flag ship the Olympia, undoubtedly
addressed herself to the cruiser, Reina
Cristina, the flag ship of Admiral
Montejo. And so it probably was with
the rest of the two fleets. Cruiser met
cruiser and gunboat met gunboat, as
far as possible.
The commander and men of the rev.
enue cutter McCulloch and the trans
port which he took into Manila bay
took almost equal chances with the
fighting ships. 1t would seem as if
they should be allowed share of the
prize money The naval officers who
commanded both ships were detailed
from their usual positions through nc
fault of theirs, and that they should
not have share in the results would
seem to be unjust. The ruling of the
navy department will settle this.
These are the Spanish ships en-
ployed according to the dispatch, the

EXCHANGE SENTIMENT.

According to official returns the
farmers of Minnesota have $l5O,OOO,-
600 invested in diaries; the receipts
for the year amounted to $4,000
600 and the 100000 Minnesota cows
gave 4OO,6OO,OOO pounds of milk. In
1897 the state of Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota exported butter and cheese
amounting in value to S55,OOO,OOO.
More than quarter of this sum went
to Minnesota, although previous to
1890 the farmers of this state did not
take great interest in the method of
dairy cooperation. = Philadelphia

One of the excuses given by Mime
sota's Georgia marble-capitol-
sion for taking an outside stone in
stead of Minnesota stone for new
capitol was that if granite were Sc
Iected there were not enough granite
cutters in the state to do the work and
that outsiders would have to be
brought in. 1t now transpires that
the contractors to whom these patri-
otto gentlemen gave the job have i'm
ported from Georgia gang of marble
cutters to work up the stone brought
from that state to veneer Minnesota's
capitol. So one after snotnor of the
subterfuges by which it was attempt
ed to bolster up that most scandal

in recent years the little Amer
lean navy has spent three times
as much money for target practice as
the combined navies of England,
France and Germany. For two years
the Spanish have spent nothing. The
fighting has already proved that
Spanish gunnery practice is to ours
as one is to one hundred. We are
probably superior in gunnery to the
three nations named. The American
sailor has always had the idea that a
gun was made to discharge projec-
tile that was intended to hit some
thing. He never put much faith in
the impression created by the noise
made by the discharge. He has
practiced with his guns in time of
peace. and now does terrible execu-
ton in time of war. In Secretary
Herbert's administration of the navy,
certain congressman protested against
"the useless waste of ammunition in
target practice" Where are they
now?-Minneapolis Journal

THE GAZETTE has for a long time
been opposing the tendency manifest
in some places to pair down populist
platforms to such an extent as would
amount to an abandonment of a large
number Of the best principles of the
party. In this connection we are glad
to say that the platform adopted at
Topeka shows none of the finger
marks of the trenchers. 1t contains
every thing essential and if we were
to offer any criticisms, it would in fact
be that ii contains too much. There is
nothing demanded but that is all right,
but it is possible to place 50 many
things in platform that have to be
explained that they are burden.
However this leads to education and
is far preferable to the other extreme.
Judged from the standpoint that a
platform can only be conside ed rela-
lively, as a composite document, which
can not suit everyone in every partic-

THE best hit made at the state con-
ventlon was the passage OF that resolu-
ton demanding the immediate abolish
ment OF the metropolitan police com
missions and the repeal Of the law,
IL required some political courage "a
do this. The law was made primarily
by the republicans for the purpose OF
making jobs for their heelers. And II
did make a good many hundred OF
them, and WAS one Of the chief sources
OF revenue for republican campaign
funds. II has always been a corrupt
and boodling machine, contrary TO
the theory OF self government, 1t has
been as Secretary Of State Bush said
some time since a "svslem Of high and
low license, high to the jointisf and
low to the treasury" Nearly every
one, prohibitionist and resubmissonIst
alike, has condemned the law on general
principles and the only thing that
could be urged by the opportunist, was
that the time Is not ripe for abolishing
the boards. II would indeed have been
a very easy thing TO do to pass some
kind of u resolution urging the repeal
of the law ADD in the meantime leav'
ing the hundreds of popnlIst police oil
ers drawing their pay, but to cut them
off short and throw the management
over to the cities which are republican
for the sake OF principle and right, re-
Quired q showing Of courage and an
abandonment Of selfish interest rarely
shown In politics. The Reno county
delegation deserves our compliments
and gratitude for standing solidly in
favor Of the resolution,

THERE 10 nothing wrong with the

day at La Quasna, took them off their
native heath so to speak, being with
out their horses, but the result was al
right just the same. Those who have
criticised the COW boys as not being
amenable to discipline, may find out
that they can fight any way. The av-
erage COW boy may be reckless and in
dependent, but he is neither a fool nor

THE nomination of the present state
populist ticket by the democrats at
Atchison, before they were nominated
by the pOpulists, was as graceful an
act Of politics as could be wished by
any middle of the roader, 1t seems
that the democratic appetite for Office
was as much regenerated at Chicago
as the other principles, Uniting with
US on the general issues and principles
that animate us with such hearty
good will we should certainly be in

THE following extract from Andrew
Jackson's address on retiring from the
presidency shows that genuine
acksonian democracy and populism
are identical: This organized money
power, from its secret conclave, would
dictate the choice Of your highest oiiic-

peace as best suits their own wishes.
The forms of your government might
for time remain, but its living spirit

coma, goes into business on its own
