DEWEY's VICTORY.

Never was such naval victory won
in history as that won by Admiral
Dewey at Manila week ago Sunday.
To entirely destroy and sink the op-
posing fleet, which was fair one to
meet at any time, and doubly SO when
it's position in the bay is considered
and the protection afforded by the
guns from the coast batteries, and
not have man killed, and only few
wounded is most remarkable. The
bravery shown by Admiral Dewey
and his men has been rarely equaled.
From the early days Of the republic
the Americans have demonstrated
their proves at naval warfare, and
the fight at Manila clearly proves
thatsit has not deteriorated in the
least. This battle stands unique
and alone in history with terrible loss
inflicted upon one side, and scarcely
any injuries upon the other.

Hong Kong, to fool about in the offing
for a week or ten days, perhaps to un-
dertake slow blockade, and that sort
of thing. That is the way the lazy
and miserable Spaniard would go
about it. So they thought to 60 on
with preparations some time-'ma-
nana.' tomorrow.
All this is true enough. But there
was chance for the United States to
have been caught in the same state Of
unpreparedness, in fact it was when
the Maine was blown up. or course
it was not due to laziness or shiftless-
ness, or a desire to put off until TO-
morrow what ought to be done today.
But it was pure neglect, a too great
reliance in our isolation and abstain
ing from mixing in European matters.
When danger came we went to work,
and as the Journal says, were up early
in the morning and wide-awake all
night. But had the trouble occurred
with England or any first or second
class naval power, that could have
moved naval fleet at once and push
ed matters then as we can now, this
country would have been found in
much the same state of unprepared-
ness that Manila is said to have been.
1t has been severe lesson for this
country, but we'll worth it's cost if it
is profited by. If it will cause the
people to recognize that the condi-
tions of the world have changed in the
past century, that the United States
no longer is situated away off to one
side of the globe far removed from the
other great nations of the globe. but
that steam and electricity has drawn
the world more closely together, max
ing US an important member of the
family of nations, and thus obliged to
be able to meet the obligations such
position places upon us, and will thus
cause the country to adopt a policy
which will always keep us prepared
for any emergency that may arise, a
great benefit will have been wrought
for us a nation.

WILL MOVE AWAY.
A. B. Moffatt Accepts a Responsible
Position at st. Joe, Mich.

A. A. Moffatt has rendered his
resignation as manager OF the Manka-
to knitting mill, to take effect May
31st, and has been offered and has &C.
cepted a similar position with
Cooper, Wells & Co., of st. Joe
Michigan. The latter firm has one of
the largest hosiery mills in the coun-
try, with an output of 900 dozen pairs
day. Mr.. Moffatt, while nominally
assistant manager, will have charge
OF the business. St. Joe is opposite
Benton Harbor, and both cities to-
gether have a population about the
same as Mankato. 1t is a we'll known
summer resort. Mr.. Moffatt takes
his new position June LIST, but his
family will not move to St. Joe until
little later.
Mr.. Moffatt will be able to nearly
close up the affairs OF his assignee
ship before leaving, and will tender
his resignation as treasurer of the
state fair association. While sorry to
lose so esuimable a family as Mr..
Moffatt.s, our people will congratulate
him upon having secured so desirable
a position. He is first class business
man and gentleman in every sense
of the word, and that he will attain
uccess in his new field of labor there
is no doubt.

The Fairmont Sentinel thinks there
has been undue haste to- get the gov.
eminent to issue lot of government
bonds. AS we understand it there
has been no attempt to issue any yet,
nor won't be until they are needed
All that has been done is to get au-
thority to issue bonds when needed.
If the war should close soon, it is safe
say that the administration would
not be likely to issue any bonds if
funds enough could be obtained with
out, to meet the expenses incurred.

1T MAY WORK A BENEFIT.

1t is said that the people of Spain
cannot understand how it was that
Commander Dewey got into the bay
ut Manila when the island at the
front of the bay and the city itself
was armed with big guns, and search
lights capable of reaching anything in
and around the harbor, and the har-
Dor was mined. 1t seems that all of
this material was sent there, but it
is now claimed that none of it was
placed in position. Only few of the
big guns were in position to be used.
The search lights were not placed,
hence nothing was known of the
movements of Dewey's fleet under
cover of the darkness. The Sioux
City Journal says that If this is true,
it is simply characteristic of the Span
lard, and continues:
when they are at war with the
United States they must be prepared.
1t will not do to fail to be prepared.
Americans do not wait for "Tomor.
row." the word so dear to the Spanish
heart, so ingrained in the Spanish
character. The LATEST and most shift.
less nation on earth cannot fight with
the most alert and enterprising. The
Americans will work and fight with
the most desperate energy. They
will be up and doing early in the
morning, and wide-awake all night If
it be necessary. The Spaniards ex-
pected Commodore Dewey to consume
several days more on the way from

READY FOR BUSINESS.
Point Pleasant Hotel at Madison Lake
Prepared for Business.

Mrs. J. M. Barclay arrived at Point
Pleasant, Madison Lake, several days
ago, and has everything in apple-pie
order about the hotel and grounds for
those desiring accommodations.
The popularity of Madison Lake
this season promises to surpass all pre-
vious summers. The private cottages
will all be occupied and Mrs. Barclay
will not have cottages enough to &C.
commodate those who will seek quiet
and rest at this most restful resort.
d. L. Rose is making plans for a
new cottage and expects to erect same
forthwith. r. e. Brown is also con-
templating the erection of new cot.

large addition to his cottage, and it
will be occupied during the summer
by several young men who have made
the lake a rendezvous for several
years.

tage during June and July. His new
dispatch boat "Dana" arrived last
week and was successfully armored
and launched. Admiral Higgs lmme-
diately started out On scouting ex-
position and succeeded in landing a
couple of prizes in the shape of pick
erel. He fired across the bow of one
magnificent pickerel, brought him
within landing distance when the be-
ligerent suddenly turned and mar
rowly escaped capture. The Admiral
has since attached a rigging in
the form of "landing net" which
will prevent like occurrence.

At the Presbyterian church Sun
day morning the pastor was greeted
on his return from the East with q
full house. This being the first time
Mr.. Beattie had occupied the pulpit
since war was declared, he directed
the peoples attention at both SER
vices to questions vital to the subject
uppermost in the peoples mind. In
the course of his morning sermon he
made reference to ignorance of any
people as a nations greatest sin and
sure to ultimately lead to such ma
tion's overthrow unless counteracted
by knowledge and among the eleyat-
ing forces, spoke especially of public
education and the press in the follow
ing words:
"Any nation or organization within
a nation that shuts out light from
the intellect and heart of man is no
bride of Christ, God is light, and in

ance." The salvation of any people is

KEEP HIM WHERE HE IS,

Morris Sun:
Davis refusal of the state portfolio
makes us wonder if he too considers
that position as ''hOodoo" to the
presidential aspir ations Of it's occu-
pants. Well, our senior senator has
shown that he would make a good
chief magistrate and has won the
thanks of a great nation. But as long
as the nation doesen't want him as
president, and he won't accept posi-
tion in the cabinet. let US keep him
where he is. This state and the
United States need his services.

WILL BE HIS OWN SUCCESSOR.
Litchfeld Review:
Next to the members Of the cabinet,
Senator Davis is McKinley's closest
and most trusted adviser. So far as
the people are concerned he stands
next to Mckinley. and they are proud
of him. Davis will and.must be his
own successor.
NEVER TOO BUSY.
st. Peter Journal:
There's one thing like about Con-
gresham McCleary." remarked c1t1-
zen few days ago; mo matter how
deeply absorbed he may be in the con-
sideration of national affairs and
transacting the weighty affairs OF
state in such trying times as these,
he is never too busy to devote his at
tention to even the most trivial re-
quest of the most obscure OF his con-
stituents."
KEEP him THERE.
Jackson Republic:
The more we see of z. K. Davis, the
more it is evident that Minnesota
wants to keep him right where he Is,
that is unless they want him for presi
dent.
HARD BARRIER TO ASSAIL.
Adrian Guardian:
The two or three alleged Republi-
can papers in this district which are
trying to stir up feeling against Con-
gresham McCleary are in pitiable
straits for ammunition. The lndorse-
ment of the leading Republican press
Of the state and nation, which Mr..
McCleary has received, and is every
day receiving, makes an awful barrier
for these little fellows to assail.
