the American press. Nobody has had bet
ter opportunity to know the conditions
than Admiral Dewey, and if there were a
shadow of doubt in his mind as 10 the ad-
visibility of an uncensored correspondence,
he would assuredly have expressed it,
The other significant statement is in re-
gard to General Otis. 1t is precisely what
anyone knowing what Dewey is might
have expected him to say. He made 1t with
all the kindliness, the Keen sense of JUS
tice, the bubbling humor, characteristic of
the man, And this was his character
sketch of the man upon whose shoulders
rests the responsibility of American affairs
in the Philippines:

viii work himself to death. He will die in the
Philippines. We know that in our businesses we
can't do everything ourselves; we must leave
something to Others. But Otis is for doing 1t all.
/ think Otis made another mistake IN the CEN
sorsbip. So strict a censorship wasn't necessary.
Why, Otis had strict a censorship as TO exclude
any favorable mention of the Navy.
And then the Admiral smiled.
We have here the portrait. drawn with
the utmost kindliness and good feeling, OF
commanding general of the army who
is too fussy and wise in his own conceit to
be able to delegate his work to any hands
but his own. OF the executive ability
which inspires others with the spirit of
loyalty and devotion, which reaches far
afied and not by personal supervision, but
by personal magnetism, animates every
subordinate with a desire to do his work
faithfully and well, there is not bit.
General Otis is too narrow minded to admit
that any branch of the service not imme-
diately under his own control can be eff
ficient at all. He exhibits what must be
called petty jealousy of the Navy-the
agency to which most of our success in the
late war was unquestionably due-the one
branch of the public service which was
ready for war when it came, and has never
failed to rise to the occasion, in the At
lantic or in the Pacific. This is pretty
picture of an American general entrusted
with one of the gravest problems before
the people today The only good thing
which seems to be discoverable about him
Admiral Dewey kindly points out-and that
is that he does not steal. But when man
spends most of his time in petty squab-
blings over window-blinds and bathtubs
and other small unauthorized expenses
there is a chance for grand larceny just
around the corner. out of his sight. Some
times thief would quite as gladly have a
small minded and incompetent honest man
in charge of things as pirate. for in that
case he does not have to divide the spoils

Two Things Accomplished.
.From the New orleans Times.Democrat J

(Frcm the New Orleans Times -Democrat)
Whatever may have been the shortcomings of
the Constitutional Convention OF 1898, il did
achieve two things of transcendent import TO the
general welfare-the practical elimination OF the
negro from the electorate. and the separation Of
State from municipal elections. The schemers,
men, by the provision that representation in con-
ventions should be based on population instead of
the party's strength, that the disfranchised
negro should continue to speak, and with author
ity, even in the Democratic camp. 1t is clear
however. that the ultimate effect of this mon
strous provision will be nil; for there is visible
on eve v hsnd indispuiable evidence that, through
a system of real primaries the Democracy viii
remain true to white supremacy, which lies at its
hearts core.

more than thirty thousand; Natal, two
thousand, and Afrikanders from the Cape

are not prevented from joining. In thirty

numerically equal if not superior to any

happen in the mean time, then the issue

The correrpondents at ManiIa.

There have been few men who have
caused among their countrymen such a
feeKng Of entire satisfaction as the Amer
ican people experience when they think of
Admiral Dewey. All that the victor of
Manila has said and done since his return
has but served to deepen this genial and
happy feeling. There is no pretence and
70 pompousness about him, neither is he
lacking in becoming dignity. While show
ing no disposition to rush into politics, he
has not hesitated to be outspoken where
he thought il wise to be so. He is a hero
with whom seventy three millions Of peo-
pie are more and more contented every day.
Among the remarks which he has made
since his arrival are two particularly sig
nificant and refreshing statements, which
may be taken as a fairly good index of the
way in which he intends to deal with pub
lie matters. One concerns the Ameri-
can newspaper correspondents in Manila
OF them ne said:
The newspaper men who came TO Manila have
spoiled me for dealing with the rest of the world
/ could say what in my mind without choos-
ing my words OF picking my phrases. because /

tion, they would not report me- The exceptions

BE- able to get along with any newspaper man
who has no higher sense OF honor than TO sacri-
fee everything 70 the desire 10 make sensation
He added in an interview with Mr..
Hearst:
I never had any trouble with the Newspaper
men. / told them we had one common interest
that q not letting the enemy get injurious nfor-
mation-snd from that time there never was a
single thing sent out OF Manila that | could OBJ
ject to. AZ far as my experience goes, | have
found American newspaper men not only the most
enierpgising, but the most accurate in the world

% isguoted.
Dovetailing these two statements to-
rether. and considering them in connection
with the strict censorship established by
Cts. and the reasons which he alleged
therefor. it will be seen that Admiral
Dewey has given the newspaper men about
as complete vindieation as they could
possibly have desired. 1t is especially for
funate that be has done So FOR in spite of
the importance OF the papers represented
and the obvious interest which the CORE
spondeuts had In telling the truth. il would
nevertheless have placed them under

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 28.-The Della

Company has issued orders directing that
operations be resumed in three of its coal
mines here-the Central, Sloan, and Hyde

1,500 men and boys. These mines were
shut down for an indefinite period some

This difference is found in the fact that the
