Anglo-American Sentiment.
(ChicaPO B5cl rd.

Perhaps the most notable feature of the recent general celebration of the queens birthday was the evil dent sign that a feeling Of cordial goodwill has sprung up between England and the United States. Now that she has grown to old age, Queen Victoria is the object of ven- eration aud friendly sentiment throughout the world There will not be another Jubilee year, but there will always be a friendly feel ing when her birth days reeur
 But for this country the celebra- tion of May 24 had a peculiar mean ing. It is not yet probable tha t there will be anything like an al- Hanee between the two English speaking powers. But in view of the general expressions of friendli- ness on the part of the British peo- pie it is impossible that this nation should not feel a sense of apprecia. tion for the attitude preserved by Great Britain. Traditions which have descended from the revolution and from the war of 1872, to say nothing of the recent disagreement in the case of Venezuela, 'had led Americans to believe that England was DO good friend And the open connivance of British cabinet off cers with the confederate states during the civil war is something which will hardly be forgotten.
 In spite of all these memories, howevr, the developments since the outbreak of the present war have shown that the old hostilities are likely to be sunk in the new ex change of expressions of good will. The soldiers at Tampa last Tuesday raised the flag of the United States and the flag of Great Britain side by side and chpered heartily to the bonor Of the queen. Throughout the nation there were celebrations which showed the strength of the new tendency toward an Anglo-Am. erican raDprochement

MIR s w KENWARD Promoted From Conductor to Super. intendent of the Cotton
 Belts Arkansas
 Division.

When the 2:25 Cotton Belt passen- ger train pulled into the shops to- day, MT. S. W. Kenward, known to his many friends as Billy" Ken ward, stepped off the platform of the train, one of his friends ierked off his eonductor-hat and in- formed him that he had been pro- noted to the position of superinten- dent of the Arkansas division of the Cotton Belt road. Mr. Kenward was greatly surprised. Mir, Ken ward has for sixteen years been in the employ of the Cotton Belt road, and has worked himself up from lower to higher positions. until he has reached the position of superin- tendent. We extend our congratu- lations to Mir. Kenward, and also to the Cotton Belt road on it's ex- cellent selection. Mir. Kenward's s friends will no doubt be glad to hear of his appointment to such a responsible and trustworthy posi- ton. The appointment goes into effeettoday.

When Spain Sues for Peace
Chicago Record, ]


 Presumably the treaty of peace between the United States and Spain, when the time for peace comes, will be effected either by Spain's suing directly for cessa- tion of hostilities or by an appeal made through the ambassador of some mutually friendly power. As soon as the negotiations are begun the question as to settlement of property rights will be opened, and while peace negotiations are pend- Ing these will constitute some of the most difficult and interesting of the problems which will arise. For instance, there is well-defned principle of international law which wonld make it necessary for this government to revise contracts or draw up new contracts with the in- dividual owners of any properties in territories which it may have ex- acted as indemnity. Even the seizure of a coaling station might involve individual rights which must not be overlooked. One of the clauses of the treaty must define the political relations of the inhabitants of eeded territo- ry, who, according to precedent, cease to be subjects of the power formerly in control and are obliged to respect the laws declared by the conquering power. The custom is to respect individual property rights, save as they may conflict with the interest of the victorious nation.
 In case the government should depart so far from it's traditional policy as to attempt the annexa- tion of the Philippines or of Puerto Rico, these questions of property rights would be troublesome mat ters for years to come. The law makes the conqueror the judge of his own rights, but the precedents of the past would make it inadvisa. ble to follow any other policy than that which would insure justice to the conquered people. or course there can be no peace with Spain until Cuba shall be made free and independent With that 9eliver- ance made, there IS no doubt that the United States would display ex- treme liberalitv toward its helpless antagonist in responding 10 over lures for peace.

NORMAL NOTES
No new pupils this morning.

No new pupils this morning.
 Prof. L. E. Quinn. who will con duet the Drew county normal this year, was a welcome visitor this morning.
 The rural teachers. for whose ben eft the normal was instituted, are not taking the interest they should. Every one has ample means of knowing the law regarding the 8t- tendance of teachers. and we hope the teachers from the rural districts will come out and correct the erro- neous opinion that they are lacking in proficiency and afraid to face the light.
 Prof. Dovne is a reasonable man, but the law says the license of teach CTS, not attending, are revoked, and Prof. Doyne will be doing nothing but his duty to recommend that the license of every teacher be cancelled who has aot attended or been ex- cused. Come out teachers. Let us make Jefferson eounty's normal one of the best in the state. We have the timber, and we have in Prof. Doyne one of the best instructors in the state, and let us do our part.

Dewey's Characteristics.
owensboro, (Ky1 Messenger.

Admiral George Dewey, the hero of Manila, is the subject of a charac ter sketch in the June Review of Re views by Winston Churchill This is the only time that the life story of our modest Yankee admiral has been told in print with any com- pleteness. His boyhood days in Vermont, his schooling at Annapolis, and later stirring experiences under Farragut in the civil war, are all passed in review. Mir. Churchill is himself a graduate of the United States Naval accademy and the au- thor of the very successful novel en- titled "The Celebrity He has un- usual facilities for getting inform ation relative to Admiral Dewey's interesting career and antecedents.
 The character of Admiral Dewey and of his father, Dr. Dewey" says MT. Churchill, are in many re- spects strongly alike, despite the different fields of usefulness in which each has been placed Both have the same quiet serse of humor and the habit of looking at the bright side of life Both are the rare type of man who does that duty which comes to hand with all his might. The Doctor was man to be trusted implicitly; so is the admiral, and that fact has even become Q by word at the navy department. The doctors nature was italy re- ligious, of the special kind of re- ligion which is known as charity; Dr. Deweys charity began at home, with his children to spread over the countryside. GThe admirars has spread wherever Jack Tar has trod. He makes no parade of religion; his devotional books and bis bible are hid in his cabin where none can see them. But they are there, The admiral has won fame because it came in the line of duty. He did not seek it, but the custom be has formed of doing things well made it inevitable And this custom he got it from his father.
 "The admiral talks but little, and never about himself. He also comes naturally by love of music and has an excellent voice. There are many men and women now in Montpelier who remember with pleasure the guitar he brought home from Ncr- wich and the songs he sung to it. AtAnnapohs he was a member of the midshipmen's choir. He also in- herits from the doctor his love of children. The youngters in his native town call him "Uncle Cap tam, and when he revisits the old place he is frequently surrounded by juvenile audience, for he tells a child's story to perfection, which in itself is no mean gift. Of late years his health has not been rug ged, but he is an ardent sportsman, indulging his taste when it is pos sible, but of all lubberly exercises he prefers riding. His manner with strangers is almost reserved, but cordial; with friends he is un- mistakably earnest. Outside the study of tactics and of his profes- sion, which he has made most thor oughly, he has read little.
