- ENATOR DEPEW states the
Szxza case tersely but truthfully
when he says: There is no
longer any theory about the
island of Luzon. A people, come un-
der the sovereignty of the United
States, fairly promised free govern
ment and every liberty guaranteed by
the Constitution under which we our
selves live, have declared war upon
us. 1t is a war not Of our own maxi
ing. Those of the Filipnos in revolt
did not wait to see whether we would
keep faith. They foolshly took it for
granted that we would not. They
chose to believe that not Mckinley,
but Aguinaldo, spoke the truth. They
preferred to follow the lead of a man
who has every motive to take glory
and power TO himself rather than re-
generate their country under the kind,
strong arm OF a great and invincible
republic.
The Filipinos have cast their die.
Even those who differ from me as to
the primary cause Of the strife now
raging in those distant lands cannot
deny the fact-the plain, ugly fact
that AguinaldO and his men are up in
arms, are aiming cannon at American
regiments, are shooting rifles at Ameri-
can soldiers, are seeking, by all the
arts of war to destroy the prestige of
American authority. This is is the
thing at which We must now look
There is but one subject before the
house. The single proposition is: We
must lick Aguinaldo. When we dc

The effort on the part of a number
of fakirs to make money at Wilkes
Barre by exhibiting a wild man,prove1
a failure. Since the holding of the
Democratic convention wild men have
ceased to be a novelty in Wilkes Barre.

Peace first; theories afterward.

A woman at Toledo, o., has been ar
rested for hypnotizing dry goods
clerks. She enters a store and fixing
her eye upon the attendants behind the
counter, generally manages to put
them to sleep or throws them into hys-
terics. This seems to be reversal Of
the usual order of things. When the
average woman returns from a bar
gain sale her purchases indicate that
the hypnotism is practiced from the
other side of the COunter.

Wouldn't Accept II.

" LIEUTENANT BRUMBY, who
is closer to Admiral Dewey
IL than any other man, says as
his personal opinion upon a
subject now much discussed:
"I don't think Admiral Dewey would
accept the nomination for president If
both parties should unite in rendering
it to him. He appreciates he has so
high a place in American history that
no political office can add to it's luster
or permanency. AS the admiral Of
the navy he has a congenial berth for
life, and there is provision for him to
lead an ideal existence unveXed by
trying cares"
The admiral himself voiced nearly
the same opinion when to a friend he
said the other day: 1T is very pleas
ant to be a hero, but a continuous
performance is hard on the nerves."
The fact that he has Cancelled all en-
gagements for public functions be-
cause of the strain which these affairs
impose upon his none too rugged
health illustrates one considerable rea-
son why the office of president, how
man of his training, habits and tenn
perament.
The presidency would, as Lieutenant
Brumby says, contribute nothing TO
Admiral Dewey's fame. His position
now, both in contemporary eminence

unique. He is the one man of his
generation for whom all parties and
all politicians have nothing but praise
and bouquets. Presidents wait on
him; monarchs envy him; and
through it all he can sleep nights, un-
troubled by the thought Of tomorrow.
