George Dewey, Statesman

Under the heading George Dewey,
Statesman" the New York Journal pays
the following deserved tribute to the
Hero OF Mauila": Admiral Dewey is
not only a great fighter, but slnguarly
well balanced man. For two months and
a half he has held a nosition Of extreme
difficulty, and tho manner in which its
varying demands have been met is states
manike. The Spaniards, the insurgents,
and the Germans have ali given him trout
bic during his long wait for reinforce
monts. Ills patience has been incXhaus-
tibc his hImncss unShakable, his dip!o-
macy dcft and his Willingness to do moro
lighting. should it he needed, quite clear
oven to tho apprehension of Admiral
Dicdorch. on every side where the test
has hccn applied Admiral Dewey reveals
himself as a strong and Enthusiastically able
man. Had there been in his place one Of
less cool temper and of inferior sagacity
hall the world might have been by the
ears ere now. His country is proud of
Admiral Dewey, the victor of Manila, and
fnossc who has maintained the status quo
at Manila under temptation to indignant
action that might almost have tempted Il
Sampson to take the aggressive. The Am
crican people admire and they will re-

fcer in Rutland in 1851 and well known in

V. OH Saturday at the age of 81 years.
Mai. Jenne was born in Granville, y. y.
He attended the public schools there and
Castleton Academy. He was musterod In
to the United States service at Burlington
and assigned to company @, 9th regiment,
Vermont volunteers, of which company lie
became captain. He was wounded and
aiken prisoner at Savage Station, but was
paroled and afterward exchanged. In the
ummer of 1858 he was detailed on recruit
ng service. He had charge of the camp
at Brattleboro and later at New Haven.
Conn. Capt, JENNIE was brevetted major Of

tie of Savage Station.

valor and yielded to the inevitable: but
Spanish commanders on both land and
sea have plainly been impressed with tha
idea that they must never surrender so
long as possibility of success remains
The motto of the Spanish army as well as
of the Spanish government seems to be to
! fight to the bitter end. The forces under
Gen. Toral at Santiago have obeyed this
! injunction. They did not deign to con-
slider the idea of surrender until all hope
of escape or assistance had been cut off.
| They were confronted by inevitable and
crushing defeat, and the prolongaton of
the struggle meant simply an unncces-
sary destruction of property and an mex
cusablc slaughter of brave men on both
sides. They would undoubtedly have SUR
rendered Il number of days ago but for the
supposed necessity of pandering to "A de-
nant public in Spain. and thus cnsuring
u further lease OF life for the present
Spanish government.
The announcement that Santiago has
| fallen without further bloodshed viii be
received with "A great feeling of relief
Throughout this broad land If not by tho
lighting has already taken place in cuba,
and the path of our forces has been con-
sccrated by American blood, but the pres
cnt victory is II bloodlcss one, whose i'm
portance it is difficult to measure The
capture Of force of Spanish estimated at
! 10000 men. and the securing of control of
territory embracing practically all Of that
portion of eastern Cuba remaining in the
hands of the Spanlards, is a glorious vic
tory the moral effect OF which can not
fail to be felt throughout Spain: and It
| will be strange if this crushing defeat, in
connection with our preparations to send
| Il fleet across the Atlantic, does not help
to promote a wholesome desire on the part
I Of the Spanish TO sue for peace directly
with the United states The hope for Il
victory for Spanish arms on land to wipe
out SPANS humiliating naval defeats, is
now gone. If Santiago with its impasslb G
barrier, with its rcmotcnoss from the on
trance to the harbor, and with the coop
Grafton of Ccrvcra's fleet could not sue
ccssfully resist our onslaught, no other
Spanish stronghold in the West Indies
: can hope to offe' such resistance. our
forces are now free to move In any dircc-
tion without fear of n Spanish fleet, and
from this time on our campaign may be
expected 10 make rapid progress. The
fall OF Santiago marks the beginning of
our expulsion OF the Spanish from the
American continent.

DR.. l.. c. Wakefield has solved the rid

the Fish-Argulus, and an insect that has
been known for years in England and
accurately described in Woods natural
history, from which the following account
kindly furnished the Record by Or. Wake
field Is taken.
"The first family of these creatures is
called Argulldae, and may be known by
the circular shaped head shield, and the
manner in which the second pair OF foot
jaws are modified into n pair of power
full suckers.
The Fish Argulus may be seen upon

upon the golden carp. 1t is not very
small being. about the diameter of IL

ed If placed in an aquarium in which any
fish is swimming.
The little creature at once makes for
the fish. darting along with considerabl
speed, and fixes itself to the side just
under the pectoral fms. It does not, how
ever, remain fixed to the fish. but occa-
sionaly leaves 1t and starts off on little

returning at short intervals, as If for

The female Is considerably larger than
the male, and may at once be known by
the black spot on each side Of the abdo-

in Lake Champlain and other waters in
New England. 1t will attack any fish

While 1t will live in clear water IT

no danger to trout in clear running

II will attack trout. however. when II

yesterday at Tcrrill's drug store, where
some of the parasites were placed In Il

They at once attacked the trout and

A QUEER VOICE.
(From Case and Comment.)

The New York "Volce" says: 1.-THE pro-
position TO raise money for the expenses
of the war with Spain by an additional
tax on beer must be distasteful to every
right thinking prohibitionlst, To wage a.
war for freedom In Cuba with the money
that has been the price of slavery and
death to thousands of our people is a
solecism." This proceeds on the theory
that taxation Is privilege or favor
which encourages and fosters the busi-
ness that is taxed. instead Of being bur-
den which. so far as 1t goes, tends to re-
preston or restriction. II means free
whisky and taxed milk; free tobacco and
taxed flour. With such reasoning az this
