A Valuable Diary.

Bishop Newman. the venerable d.
vine Of the Methodist church, has kept
an unhrOken diary since 1860. Prob
ably no man has been more closely
identified with the important affairs
of history and few have met and
known more famous men than the
bishop. and if he ever consents to the
publication uf this daily journal il viii
undoubtedly rank among ;he few great
diaries OF history. In recent inter
view with Dexter Marshall the bishop
said: Il have rarely lived a day with

Congress sends Admiral Dewey the
thanks of the nation for his victory at
Manila; the navy department adds it's
official commendation of his strategy,
and the state department joins in with
its appreciation of his "cool Judgment
and prudence in directing affairs" since
that time. Dewey is thus honored with
his country's approval and confidence
in mis- course, both in battle and in the
more difficult work of diplomacy The
destruction of the Spanish fleet was a
piece of brilliant naval strategy and
good fighting, but the preservation of
his status, and of the full authority
of his government, under new and I'M
tried circumstances. between the am
bilious insurgents on one hand and the
intriguing diplomatists of Europe on
the other. required talents of a high
order in other directions, and it's sue
cessful accomplishment marks Dewey
as great statesmana we'll as a great
warrior. He deserves all the praise
that has been given him. and yet he is
merely what may be called a sample
American citizen. Up to the time of
MS victory he was only one among
many naval commanders, and not dis
tinguished above his fellows. He was
sent to Manila because he happened to
be in command of our Pacific SQUAD
ron at the time. and not with any
thought of the rare diplomatic work
that was to be required of him. But
his example shows how Americans
size up to their requirements.
