COMPARE TIE CANDIDATES.

James NJ. Woolworth, formerly presi-
dent of the American Bar association,
an organization of the most eminent jur-
lists and lawyers of the world, says OF
Judge Reese: "He is n truly good man.
conscientious and honest: n man well
learned in the law and of excellent ju>
dicial temperament. Il man of large eX>
perence, industrious, careful and capa-
BILE" He adds: Il think he will make
don't know of Il man in the state who
is better fitted" This tribute to the
republican candidate from Judge Wool
worth is from a man who has always
been known as a democrat. No better
endorsement could be asked.
Judge Eleazer Wakeley, the Nestor of
the bar of Douglas county, who has
been several times honored by election
to the bench by the voters irrespective
of political faith on both democratic
and nonpartisan judicial tickets, testi-
fies to the ability of NJ. b. Reese as u
lawyer and a judge and says he is in
every way qualified for a supreme
1udgeSnlp. Such praise Is praise indeed
and should have weight with all men
who want to keep the supreme bench of
this state filled with men who command
the respect of all who have business
before the court.
No one has heard of any eminent law
yers testifying to the legal ability or
judicial temperament of Silas A. Hoi-
comb in support of his candidacy for
the supreme bench. Every candid law
yer will admit that in professional
| comparison of the two candidates for
supreme judge Silas A. Holcomb is not
| to be mentioned in the same breath
| with NJ. B. Reese.

One section of the American exhibit
at Paris is to be designed to Illustrate
the advancement Of the negro race, par
ticularly along educational and indus,
trial lines. When one looks back over
the period from the close of the civil
war the progress Of the negro is un-
matched in any country where the de-
scendants of Africans held in slavery
have been allowed to work out their
own conditions with or without outside
assistance. An exhibit of the character
contemplated will certainly be one in
which the colored man can justly take
pride

GENERAL FUNSToN's PREDICTION

GENERAL FUNSTnN'S PREDICTION
In his speech accepting the sword
presented by the people of Kansas Gen
eral Funston predicted that in one
years time the island of Luzon will be
as quiet as Massachusetts. This agrees
substantially with what this gallant
soldier said in an interview in San
Francisco He then gave it as his opin-
ion that all serious fighting will he over
by next March or April. lie thought
that when the leaders of the insurrec-
ton see that their resistance Is about
to collapse they will gather up what
money they can and leave the island,
abandoning their followers to their
fate. Many of the natives, he said, will
return to their homes, but some will
go away into the mountains and join
| the robber bands that have always eX-
listed under Spanish rule. These gangs
of robbers and bandits will then be a
! little more formidable than they usu-
| ally are, but we can organize forces of
native troops which will hold them in
| check and gradually kill them off.
General Funston is an intelligent OBJ
server as we'll as brave and brilliant
| fighter and his judgment as to the out
/ look in Luzon is as worthy of consider
alton as that of any other officer who
has had equally good opportunities for
studying the situation. There is one
feature, however, of his san Francisco
interview that is not altogether reas-
suring, This is his expression of the
belief that the plan of campaign will
be about what II has been hitherto. lie
expects that it will be carried on more
effectively, because there will be about
double the force with which to prose
crte ii, but if there is to be no change
from the method thus far pursued il
may be doubted whether even with the

DEWEY rs CONFIDENT.

regard to the report of the Philippine
commission and unqualifedy expressed
his approval of every statement made
and every conclusion reached. Those
who have waited for an official express
sion from Dewey of his views and opin-
ions in regard to the Philippines now
know his position and it is in entire
accord with the policy of the admins
tration. No fair-minded man will ques'
ton that the views of the hero of Ma
Mia in respect to the policy of the gov
ernment in the Philippines are abso-
lutely his own, that they are due to a
thorough knowledge of the facts and
the situation and We're not formed
through any other influence. People
Judgment of Dewey, as all must have
in his patriotism, will attach great
value to what he says and will refuse
to disregard it at the instance of poll
ticians wholly actuated by selfish mo-
tives. Everybody understands that no
partisan considerations control the
opinion Of Admiral Dewey in this mat
ter, that he is prompted entirely by
what he sincerely believes to be re-
quired by the obligations and RESPONSE
| bilities of his country. Far removed
from the allurements of politics and in
| different to the hostility or the favor
| of politicians, Dewey speaks from pro-
| found conviction.
Admiral Dewey is confident that
! American sovereignty will be estab-
lished in the Philippines at no very re-
mote time. 81 look for an early termi-
nation of the war;" he said. "In fact,
I firmly believe that the bottom has
dropped out of the insurrection." The
American people will regard this as re-
assuring. There are, indeed, no very
marked indications that the insurgents
are tiring of hostilities, but recent ad-
vices have shown that there is some
dissension among them and it Is quite
possible that there is more of this than
appears. The last reported proclama-
ton of Aguinaldo indicates that the in.
surgent leaders are anXiously awaiting
an expression from congress. When
they find, as there Is no doubt they will,
that congress supports the policy of the
administration in the Philippines, these
leaders may be disposed to seriously
consider whether they will prolong a
hopeless contest or accept conditions
which they must already realize they
will sooner or later have to submit to
With their hope of getting encourage
ment from congress disappointed and
an aggressive campaign inaugurated by
the American forces, the insurgent lead
ers may not be able to hold their forces
together as they have done and if once
disintegration begins it will go or
rapidly.
AT all events, we may be sure tha
the confidence expressed by Admira
Dewey in an early termination of the
war is based upon good reasons, for ht

less or haphazard opinions and he il
