DocKsrADER's FAMILY THEATRE

Great business was done at the above
house yesterday and the excellent per-
formance presented promises to lead to
largely added profits, if the Monday
rush can be sighted as a criterion. The
bill this week is the strongest Mr..
Dockstader has offered the citizens OF
Wilmington this season. Barton and
Ashley made a decided hit with their
original comedy sketch. M. Alexcia in
trOduced the most remarkable contOr-
tion act ever seen in this city, his work
being out of the ordinary line and was
one of the pronounced hits of the show.
Lavender and Tomson, in acrObatic
comedy sketch, repeatedly brought
down the house and proved one of the
most entertaining specialties the bill
affords. Van Leer and Barton, com
edians; John Brock, a mimic of merit;
Burrows and Burrows, Beatrice Man
velle and La Clede and Raymond, all
afforded much amusement through the
medium of their specialties.

Probably no other American lecturer
was ever given a more hearty welcome
in London than was accorded to Lieut..

his dashes to the Arctic regions and will

beware of the Dog"
Philadelphia Press. !

Philadelphia Press
admiral Won Diederichs, in command
of the German fleet at Manila, is a man
wise in the wisdom of this world. He is
not lacking in keen appreciation of any
unpleasant situation in which he may find
himself
This is true of most striking episode
in his present Asiatic experience which
occurred the other day. 1t has kept the
German Admiral guessing ever since and
has sent over continents and under oceans
telegraph messages flashing with reatiir-
nation that the Government he repre-
sents is the firm friend of the United States,
and that henceforth the most ample as
srlrance of this fact will be given to our
naval representatives on the borders of
the Yellow Sea.
There are some British sea dogs at Ma
Mia who are evidently of the breed Of
Captain Lorraine, who twenty-five years
ago threatened Santiago with lombard
ment if the Virginius massacre was not
halted. The episode of Won Diederichs
was the reply of one Of these, Captain
Chichester, of the British warship Immor-
talite, when the German Admiral asked
him what he would do if the Germans
We're to interfere in Admiral Dewey's pro-
gramme. There is only one man who
knows what would do, and his name is
Dewey" was the Briton's reply.
1t required this emphatic yetldiplomatic
declaration to recall to the German COM
mander an idea of what he might expect
in case of unwarranted interference with
our plans. And the answer seems to have
produced an effect elsewhere in German
quarters. Almost simultaneous with this
story from Hong Kong comes the declara-
ton that Berlin has treasured Washing
ton of its friendship and neutrality. This
is both interesting and hopeful, With
this full understanding of the situation on
the part of Germany our policy in the
Philippines will still continue its firm and
unwavering advance in the fulillment of
our high purposes. Meantime there con-
tiuues to be exposed metaphorically on
the outer walls of Manila the expressive
notice, "Beware of the Dog"

THE ONLY WISE COURSE.

The Lynchburg News says: "From
many quarters come criticisms of Presi'
dent McKinley's instructions to General
Shafter for the government of the pro.
vince of Santiago de Cuba" We are glad
to note that the News is not one of those
quarters from which the criticism pro-
ceeds. Upon the contrary our esteemed
contemporary says: "rhe President has
pursued the only wise and practicable
course in dealing with the situation"
To this we add that the President has
shown wonderful wisdom in dealing with
the only situation. But for the extreme par
tisanry exhibited by the Bryanites in Con-
gress war with Spain might possibly have
been averted. Itcould certainly have been
postponed to more convenient season.
For this President Mckinley struggled,
but his wise determination was defeated
by partisan Congressman. Those who
questioned his motives and wisdom at the
Of the trouble are the ones who
are now disposed to criticise his policy in
the management of conquered territory.

Took Pictures as He Fought.

New York, July ga staff CORE
spondent of the Press, writ
ing from Sboney, gives an account Of 9
peculiar feat performed by Lieutenant
Hugh S. Wise, son Of John S. Wise, o.
New York, and formerly of Virginia
Lieutenant Wise was among those who
charged up the bill at San Juan.
The correspondent of the Press says
"He charged up the hill at the head of bis
company in the face of Mauser bullets,
thick as hail and with shrapnel shells
bursting all around him, and carried in
his right hand his sword and in his left a
rapid-iring camera of his own device. He
took twelve views on his film plates while
he was running and when he and the
standing remnant of his company were in
possession at the top of the hill, and the
Spaniards were flying down the other,
Lieutenant Wise turned to sergeant and
said:
81 think got some pretty lively pic
lures this time. If there was only some
ice in this sunburned country I'd devel-
OPP them right now"
"Then he gave his camera to a private
to guard and resumed fighting. If that
isn't bravery, coolness,, nerve and au-
dacity combined, 1 never heard of. them.
And everybody who knows him will say
that it was Just like Hughey WISE"

to one who knows the dictionary by
heart.-Lynchburg News.
We are glad to see the News speak in
such terms of praise of General Shafter.
We 60 even further than the News and
give it as our opinion that Shafter is a
military genius. If he planned and exc
cuted the campaign at Santiago he is GER
tainly man of great ability in military at
fairs. If ever there was more brilliant
and successful military movement, we
would like for some one to point out where
we will find it in history. In our judg-
ment the battles around Santiago were
equally as brilliant and remarkable as
were the naval victories of Dewey and
and Schley. The men who criticse Shat
ter are either stupid or envious.

THEY SEE II NOW.

1t is amusing but also gratifying to note
that the Democratic press of the country
with almost practical unanimity, now adj
mits that it would have been terrible
mistake for our government to have re-
cognized the independence of Cuba and
the insurgent government of that island
The admission carries with it an acknowl-
edgement that Mr.. Bryan and the Demo
cratic representatives in Congress were
greatly at fault in their effort to force
President Mckinley and the Republicans
in Congress to recognize the insurgent
government. 1t is also an admission that,
if the Democratic representatives, who
voted almost solidily for such recognition,
were influenced by partisan motives they
were guilty of chine that is unpardon-
able aud one which the honest people of
the country should not forgive. If, upon
the other hand, the Democratic represen-
tatives acted from mistaken judgment,
it is only one more proof of the utter lack
of craftsmanship in the Democratic party
and the dangers that would follow its re-
storation to power. If Mr.. Bryan could
have had his way if Mr.. Bailey, of Texas
had been listened to, if the solid Demo
cratic representation in Congress had sue
ceeded in its efforts the United States
would have committed the folly of recog-
nizing government that did not exist, or,
if it existed, was not worthy of recognition.
The frank acknowledgement of the
Democratic press that President Nc
Kinley and the Republican representa-
tives in Congress were right and that Mr..
Bryan and his followers in Congress were
SO dangerously wrong ought to put peo-
pie to thinking. By the people we mean
those honest men who have been blindly
following Democratic leadership that they
must now admit was either criminally
partisan or stupidity incapable.

Can shafter Spell ?

If is said that some of the literary critics
of the red tape order in Washington critl-
icise General Skaters dispatches as lack
ing in literary finish. They have made
the astounding discovery that there are
some words in the English language that
General Shafter cannot spell. Well, If
that be true, what of it? He was sent to
Cuba not to spell but to fight, and he has
proved that he knows his business. This
reminds us of an anecdote Of the Revolu-
ton. The British Colonel, Tarleton, was
ridiculing Colonel Washington in the pres
ence of an American lady, saying, II un'
derstand that Colonel Washington cannot
even write his own name" The lady,
pointing to scar on Tarleton's hand, re-
torted, 'I see he can make his mark.
shafter has made his mark at Santiago
and has written his name in the country's
history. He is not West Pointer, and
that fact may partially account for the
criticism, but it is much to his credit that
he has fought his way up to his present
command without the advantage Of mil
itary education. The truth is that there
il in the American character such an ap-
titude for war that it only needs an oppor-
tunity to display itself. Some of the most
successful and brilliant officers in the Civil
War on both sides had no previous mill
tary training. They learned the art Of
war in the school of real war. Look at
the Rough Riders. Some Of them are cul-
tured and polished men of society of the
East: some of them rough cowboys and
frontiersmen from the West; but the men
of both classes proved themselves to be
heroes at Santiago. General Shafter is by
M means illiterate. He received his edu-
cation in Western college, but even if he
we're Miterate, as his critics pretend, his
conntrymen would not think the less of
him. When we are looking for general,
one who knows how to fight is preferred

STAND BY the PRESIDENT.

There me very few intelligent men in
the land who do not approve of the course
of President Mckinley in connection with
our war with Spain and treatment Of Gu
ban affairs. They now see that his effort
to delay hostilities was patriotic and his
stern resolution not to recognize the in
surgent government of Cuba was eminent
" wise. 1t will be remembered that
many of the Congressman who sought 10
precipitate action in the negotiations with
Spain and voted against the policy OF the
Administration on every occasion are ask
ing the people to re- elect them to the next
Congress. 1t must be conceded that such
representatives were either moved by a
partisan desire to embarrass or were in
fuenced by unsound judgment. There
were only few Republicans in the House
of Representatives who united with the
almost solid Democratic minority in Its
antagonism to President McKinley's wise
polcy-the majority of the Republicans
stood by him all the time.
If the people desire to support the Pres
ident in his war policy, it will be very
wrong to vote for and help elect men to
Congress who will be brought under the
same influences and be directed by the
same leadership that at the last session Of
Congress voted for every resolution thai
was calculated to embarrass the Admins
tration.
There will be many important measures
that will be brought before the next Con-
gress growing out of the war, as we'll as
measures that affect the economic and
financial policies of our government
This being true, it will be very unwlse for
the people to elect Congress that would
be hostile to an Administration that has
shown its self SO capable and patriotic
The people should stand by the President
and the most certain way of doing go is tC
elect men to Congress who are sincere
friends of the Administration and vii
stand by its policy.
