DEWEY'S DECISION.

The decision of Admiral Dewey to
come to the United States by way of
the Suez canal will be great
disappointment to the people of the
west, but as we pointed out few days
ago it was to have been expected. Ad-
miral Dewey leaves Manila to obtain
quiet and rest, which he says the con-
dition of his health imperatively re-
quires, and he proposes to take plenty
of time on the homeward journey The
distance from Manila to New York by
the SueZ route is considerably greater
than from Manila to San Francisco, but
the railroad trip across the continent
with popular demonstrations at nearly
every point along the route, would be
strain that would severely test the
physical vitality of a man in robust
health and which it would be reckless
in Admiral Dewey to encounter. Be
sides there would be little really rest
full in a trip across the Pacific, with
scarcely anything for mental diversion
On the route Dewey will take he will
find much to divert him, doubtless with
Deueuclal eHecI upon Ills uedlIH. lueTe
are numerous points where he can stop
and pass the time pleasantly, and the
statement that he may be several
months on the journey indicates that it
is his intention to visit all points of in
terest on the route.
Nobody will doubt that Admiral
Dewey heartily appreciates the desire
of the west to do him honor and it is
to be presumed that when he shall have
regained his health he will visit this
section of the country. Although not
disposed to seek popular applause, but
rather to shun it, he will yet probably
wish to give all his countrymen an OPP
portunity to demonstrate their esteem
and admiration. Should such chance
come to the west Admiral Dewey will
find that nowhere are his achievements
held in higher regard than by the peo-
pie of this section.

The finest and most artistic specimen of

it is without parallel in journalism and
the claim is well founded. 1t is remark
able production and reflects the highest
credit on the publishers, the writer's, artists
and printers. The greatness, beauty, pros
perity and people of Memphis and vicinity
have in the illustrated Scmitar a charming
and eloquent advocate.

before the congressional investigating
committee the owners of distillcrics re-
ceivcd the value of their plants in cash,

the money got Il corresponding amount

GOOD WORDS FOR CURANS.

Contradictory reports in regard to
conditions in Cuba are confusing to the
public mind in this country and it would
be well to give credencc to no state
ments which do not come from official
sources, which may reasonably be pre-
sumcd to have no motive for giving out
anything but the truth. Newspaper
correspondents cannot always be de-
pended upon to give an entirely straight
forward and unprejudiced account of
affairs. Planters and property holders
in Cuba, who are generally annexation
lists, are hardly trustworthy witnesses
as to the conditions there. The most
reliable testimony is that of the mill
tary officers whose duties bring them
into constant contact with the people.
Among these there is none whose
statements and whose opinion are bet
ter entitled to confidence than those of
General Wood military governor of the
province of Santiago, He has shown
himself to be man of uncommon ad-
ministratiye ability and perhaps no
American has made more intelligent
and careful study of the character and
capabilities of the Cuban people. At
the same time he has considered care
fully the problem of government there
General Wood says that the charge that
the Cubans are lazy and unwilling to
work is not true; they are not only
willing but anxious to work. The prob
lem has never been one of finding work,
ers, but of giving work to those who
wished it. "All that Is wanted in
Cuba" he says, "to insure good order
is an army of wOrkmen. Give them
work, free them from militarism, and,
with moderate but efficient police
force good order will prevail. The dis
orders of today are but the disorders Of
hungry men without food and without
money TO buy it," Any people will be
disorderly under such circumstances.
In regard to the claim that the Cubans
are not capable of governing them
selves, General Wood states that 1t has,

SAY Dewey" says |, in neghborly way,
To the admiral quietly loating one day
And resting from labor out Philippine way,
A little BIT sea worn, a little bit gray,
In the time that had passed since the great
First of May,
II wish you would tell us of just what oc-

The folks want to hear when they want II

We know how you swatted the Spaniards
The Bay of Manila; how you wiped up the
ground . .
And the sea and so forth with all that
Spain had
In manner to make the Spanish feel bad;
We know that you floated the Flag notch
higher
Than ever it foated, and we never can tire
OF singing your praises for what you have

And we're anxious 10 listen-to hear 1t from
you

Then Dewey he blushed and he squirmed in

his share,
But that didn't go-we insisted the more,

And then he submitted and yielded his hold.

BLASTS FROM nAMs HORN.

Truth is moral dynamite.
God may be worshiped at the bench as
truly as at the altar.
The bible is for our transformation, all
other books for information.
So great is the least man that nothing less
than God will ever satisfy him.
Men may be born with fortunes ready
made, but character they have to achieve.
some forms OF bible study are attempts to
satisfy soul hunger by eating the dishes
instead Of the dinner
The rewards of heaven are not based on
the size of our sheavcs, but on the single
heartedness of our service.
There is a world of difference between
letting vour light shine before men and
making a fireworks display.

Chicago Tribune Archbishop Ireland
seems to have stirred up the French prel-
ates as we'll as the editors When a big.
live man makes speech in France 1t
naturally creates a sensation.
Minneapolis Tribune: Dr. Briggs has
about as hard time getting into the Epis~
copal church as the Presbyterians had in
getting him out Of their fold. But why
should he care about church afliiation II he
has Il message to deliver?

we must consider our foreign relations.
1t seems admitted by the friends of the
Nicaragua canal that these relations do
not, as they stand now, admit such ac-
ton on our part. Hitherto, the treaty
in one way las been refused amend
mcnt 10y Great Britain, though thereto
often requested. 1t is also not scri.
0usly expected that, even under the
present roseate relations, any change
of attitude will take place" obviously

litical-are largely in favor of the

others who take this view.

One of the results of the military con-
troll of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines Is shortage of army officers for
active duty. The American military
establishment, unlike that of foreign na-
tions, does not provide for large num-
Der of officers in addition to those neces-
sary for actual military service. Some
who could be spared have In the past
been assigned as acting Indian agents
or military instructors, but these COM
prise comparatively a small number.
The great difficulty Is the detail of n
large number of officers for the per-
formance of duty in the islands purely
civil in its nature. The mastering out
of volunteer officers with their regi-
ments is increasing this difficulty, with
which congress alone can deal. 1t is
becoming manifest to army officers that
one national military training school
will not suffice to supply the wants of
the government If the army Is to be or
ganized on the basis of expansion and
colonial service. At least one more mill
tary academy will have to be estab-
lished at the most available point. That
brings up the question whether the time
has not arrived for converting Fort
Crook into a western West Point.

FELLOW CITIzEN or ALIEN,
Questions Suggested by the Exciu-
sion of TaGaIs at san Francisco.


Is the chocolate-colorcd Filipino a fellow
citizen or an alien? Are we plugging him
full of lead because he is an erTing brother
or because he is a foreign enemy? These
questions assume fresh interest because of the
decision of immigration Commissioner North,
who has forbidden ten Filipinos to land at
San Francisco on the ground that they are
alien contract laborers. 1t Is quite plain
either that Commissioner North is wrong
or that the proceedings in the Philippines are
uniustifable. For the imperiaist orators ana
press are unanimous in declaring that the
insurgents" are in arms against their di-
vinely constituted government-that they are
rebels not alien foes. In other words, thar
they are subjects of the United States in
insurrecton against the central government.
Hence it follows that those Filipinos who
are not in arms against the United States
forces are American citizens entitled to all
the rights and privileges of citizens, in
Guiding the right to seek employment any
where in United States territory They are
not aliens, but citizens. and as such can>
not be denied entrance to the United States
by immigrant commissioners or anybody
else Either that or we must abandon the
contention that in slaughtering the Tagals
we are merely suppressing a rebellion,
Which horn Of the dilemma will the i'm
perahsts choose? Is Aguinaldo a man and
we should slay as a preliminary to "clear-
ing the way for Christ" as DR.. Wayland
Hoyt piously puts itI

Tom L. Johnson the great street rail-

Newfoundland has expressed itself
recently in favor of annexation to the
United States. If promiscuous annexa-
ton is to be the order of the day it may
be preferable to annex few hundred
icebergs and granite reefs enveloped in
perpetual fog to volcanic islands swept
by periodic hurricanes and infested
with wild beasts and wilder men.
