WASHINGTON. April 29.-Naval circles
look to the Philippines for the first big
war news. Admiral Dewey, naval off,
GERS say, either must take q port in the
Philippines and make it base Of sup
plies and, temporary home for his
ships, or he will take his feet straight
across tho Pacific for San Francisco.
It 10 expected that the other European
powers holding possessions on the
Chinese coast will adopt Great Brit

which ships Of belligerent powers may
shelter in their ports. No matter how
we'll inclined towards the United States,
China would undoubtedly be obliged.

to join in tho same practice. Thus
Admiral Dewey will find that, having
received one supply Of coal at q port OF
one of these powers, that port will
practically be closed to his ships, for he
would not be permitted to enter It
again for the same purpose within
three months, q space Of time that
would more than consume tho amount
of coal that can be carried on ship.

accentuates the unwise policy that has
prevailed in the past Of failing to 60
cure coaling stations in remote parts OF
the world, like Asia. Admiral Dewey,
because Of this policy, is
Under the Necessity
now Of capturing . port from Spain, in
which he may stay as long 40 he pleases,
and his position consequently is much
more perilous than that Of the Cuban
blookading squadron.
1t 10 probable that if the Spanish feet
can be driven into any harbor under
the protection of the batteries, Admiral
Dewey will detach some Of his ships to
blockade the port to keep them there
while using another part Of his small
force to seize and occupy, with the
native assistance. some unfortifaed post

AS the election is close at hand
it is well for the voters of this
district to remember that the cast
ing of their vote should not be
influenced by prejudice against
one man and the good fellowship.
of another. The republican party
has stood nobly by its prinsiples
and acted for the best interests of
the country. and it is the duty of
the republicans to elect a repre-

John Jsasers Expisias las Position.

Dickinson, Nov. Ist, 1893.
EDITOR PREss:-In looking v last
weeks PRESS l noticed an article, where
MI. H. F. Hatch is telling some of his
republican(?) friends Of his ignorance
about the circulars which wrote for
some candidates. The letter written
stated that those candidates could speak
German, at least the most of them. As
l am a good friend of H. F.. didn't
think it would hurt his feelings to tell
people that he could talk the German
language. Anyhow if he can't talk it'll
am sure he can sing German songs. But
it might possibly be that it takes a little
soda water to enable him to do that. l
am always willing to do a person a favor
if l can, and that is all l did for him and
the rest of the boys. Yours truly,
JOHN JUNGERs.

and make no other mark whatever on
the ballot. A voter desiring to vote a
a straight ticket this year need not spend
a moments time in the election booth as
he simply has to make one mark; and
one mark means a vote for a republican
United States senator and for a republic
can member of the house of representa-
tives. As the Chicago Inter Ocean says,
a vote against the republican ticket this
year will be primarily a vote to condemn
the conduct of the war,to discreditt the war
president and the war congress, and to
repudiate the work of the army and navy.
1t will be a vote to rebuke the men
who fought for Manila and Santiago.
1t will be a vote to turn away the Gu
bans who are looking forward to Ameri-
can support and the Filipinos who are
asking for American support.
1t will be a vote against the expansion
of the United States and for the surren.
der of the Philippines.
1t will be..a vote to close the doors to the
trade of the Pacific, which the posses-
sion of the Philippines has opened to us,
1t will be a vote to surrender our new
commercial hold on the Pacific area with
its population of 8~78,ooo.ooo.
1t will be a vote to embarass President
Mckinley in his attempts to have the
nation reap all the advantages coming
from the war.
1t will be a vote to disturb the BUSH
ness prosperity that resulted from the
sound money policy of the republican
party.
1t will be a vote to repudiate the Ding.
ley tariff law, under which wages to la
borers have increased sI,ooo,ooo,ooo in
the year 1893, and our exports have in.
creased from %s7o3,ooo.ooo in 1895 to ST.
2Io,ooo,ooo in 1858.
1t will be a vote to condemn the policy
that filled a depleted treasury and that
turned the movement of gold from this
country into a movement of gold to this
country.
1t will be a vote to indorse a policy
that under Cleveland closed our facto.
ries and work shops, reduced the surplus
in the treasury, and sent our gold abroad
to pay for goods which ought to have
been manufactured at home.
1n>short it will be a vote against every
thing that the friends of the United

of everything that they fear.
