A Journal Of wonderful value
resumes publication today. 1t is
called the Congressional Record.
1t will be read By one man in ten
thousand who get it, and by him
only when he is angry with him
self, and desires to inflict some mer-
tied self punishment. But it is a
necessary luxury, and we must
have it, and incidentally pay for it.

One recommendation of the
president will meet with universal
appreciation. 1t is that of reviving
the rank of admiral for Dewey. He
deserves it, he is the idol of the
people today, he is wise and strong
above others. Even this honor is
not sufficient testimonial for the
great efforts for good he has put
forth during the war with Spain.

Germany is not half so bad as the
newspaper correspondents in its
capitals. Whenever there is any
prospect of the treaty of peace be-
ing signed without trouble, the cor
respondents must get up some
thing sensational, and they gener-
ally run to Germany for it. The
German monarch is so eccentric
that they imagine any sort OF story
from his country will 60. But the
German monarch is no fool, and he
will not meddle with the United
States in the settlement with Spain.

better if we had more of it, and not
