WHY DEWEY Is COMING HOME.

Vessels Was Not Granteds

In General Otis 5 answer to the War De-
partments request for information there Is
a vague reference 10 the intercourse be-
tween the islands which compose the Phil
lppineS group. Something Is said OF inter-
ulctlon and of a possible restoration OF
trade intercourse, even though the insur-
gents should reap the profits. This Is
clew which, IL followed up, may unfold an
interesting story. 1t will be remembered

ward, Admiral Dewey deaf TO all pro-
posals of relief. His post was in Manila
bay so long as he could be OF service TO his
had been when he struck mortal blow at
the power of Spain few months earlier.
But gradually change passed over the
spirit of Dewey. He is naturally taciturn
man, so far as mis- duties are concerned, but
he ceased to speak altogether, and, nnally,
TO everybodys surprise announced his in
tention of coming home and coming at once.
What was 1t that effected this marked
change? The war was still in progress, the
services of the navy necessary, and the ad-
miral In good health Perhaps reference TO
Deweys reports may shed some light on the
matter He asked repeatedly for more ves-
seis, particularly small, light draft vessels,
and he did not get them. He had a keener
perception of the requirements of the situa-
ZION than any other person, naval, military
or civil. He saw the abSurdity of trying to
put down the Filipinos without an effective
blockade, and to make a blockade effective,
and plenty of them. A few old tubs were
sent out there, and they were for the most
part placed at the disposal of the army, the
most unique exhibition of military science
of which there is a record. The United
States had tinclads on the Southern rivers
during the civil war, but they were not
placed in command of soldiers.
Dewey and his officers most loyalty sup
ported the army in its operations, but they
got neither credit nor encouragement, and
were for the most part compelled to act in
the dark. Meanwhile there We're no ade-
quate means for checking the intercourse
of the Filipinos with the islands of the out
side world. With an efficient blockade their
supplies could have been cut of, and those
in hand exhausted. Admiral Dewey knew
that this was the quickest and surest way
to end the war, and when he found his ad
vice contemptuously disregarded, he gave
up in despair and started for home. Unless
his advice is taken, and an adequate block
aiding feet provided. 10000 soldiers will not
be drop in the bucket.

There are other disputed boundaries be-
sides those of Venezuela and Alaska. The
boundary line between Maryland and West
Virginia is in dispute, though there is no
danger of war growing out of it, The ques-
ton turns on what constitutes the source
of the Potomac river, as that stream was
the original boundary line between Mary
land and old Virginia, what is now West
Virginia The river has been traced to two
groups Of springs, each of which is claimed
respectively, by the two States to be its
true source. The present controversy recalls
the fact that former one between Mary
land and Pennsylvania, in the latter part
of the eighteenth century, led to the run
ming of boundary line between the two
States by two surveyors of the period,
Charles Mason and jeremiah Dixon, which
was accepted as conclusive and became
famous in history as Mason and Dixon's
line. The present dispute involves about
forty square miles of territory and the case
will be argued soon in the United States
Supreme Court.

1t is safe to say at this time that the
law of 1897 authorizing the indeterminate
sentence 10 be pronounced on persons con-
Ucted of felony has not met public ex-
pectation. Among the objections to the law
discovered by police officers is that IL in
ereases court expenses very materially. Be-
lore the enactment of that law large per-
centage OF prisoners indicted for felony were
disposed 10 plead guilty in hope of getting
OF with the minimum penalty prescribed
Tor the offense. If the indictment was for a
crime having a range of punishment from
TWO to fourteen years the jury's verdict of
course, fixed the punishment at any num-
per or years between the minimum and the
maximum. If there was a reasonable prob
ability or receiving a court sentence of two
years or four years on plea of guilty the
take his chances of a sentence three times
as long In the verdict of jury. In all such
cases the expenses of a trial Were saved,
which IN most criminal cases are enormous
anyway. Under the present law there is no
lnducement for a plea of guilty, and the
prisoner in nine cases out of ten prefers
TO have trial. If convicted he can ONLY
receive absolutely at the hands of the court
a sentence for the minimum period After
serving two years, for example, he may be
pSroled on honOr-which in most criminals
is very Enthusiastically. He can petition for
parole once quarter after the expiration
or the minimum period, and his release is
optional with the board.-Terre Haute Ex-

Attention is called to a communication
with the caption, 1.-The Trust Evil,'' be-
cause it is written by lawyer of ability
and experience. He touches one of the
worst features of methods pursued by
trusts. Indeed, 1t is a practice older than
what is known as the trust. More than a
dozen years ago the great stock slaughter
ing houses set out to control the meat trade
in the larger places all over the country.
At the outset they undersold the local
butchers and drove them to the wall. This
done. they made the prices. At present an
extensive cracker combination is striving to
control the market by offering goods at a
price at which there is profit. The de-
clared purpose is to freeze out" the local
competitors to tho end that the combina-
ton can control the trade and make the
prices. The writer is of opinion that a law
can be drawn which can be enforced
against such conspiracies to crush out COM
petition and then make the prices and con-
troll the supply. Such a law must be
enacted by the State and enforced by state
officers.

EMPHATIC BUT NOT HELPFUL.
Gen. Lew Wallace's Recent Utterances
Concerning Trusts.
Chicago Times-Herald.

chicago IlmeS-heralO-
Gen. Lew Wallace has come out in very
emphatic interview against trusts, but un-
fortunately IL is not as helpful as 1t is en-
phatic. 1t contains no hint of a remedy,
unless this may be. found in the denuncia-
ton of national and state officials. AT one
point the general says: Il know of nothing
more reprehensible than the neglect which
has been shown this evil by the national au-
thorities, from President Mckinley down.
He has an attorney general who sits in his
elegant office in the Capitol and sees the in
hour, right under his eyes. The public will
hold the President responsible for the neg

of their party. Therefore, If General Wall

ton is, will the Governor and his attorney
general do their duty by executing il? 1t
does not look like they are going to do any
thing, does it? We have not heard of them

makes it clear that he has no plan of his
