THE RETURN OF DEWEY.

If DEWEY isn't having a good
time it is no fault of the American
people. The hero returned last
week, and since that time has been
the recipient of oee grand and con-
tinuous ovation. New York city
went wild with enthusiasm, and the
whole city turned out to do him
honor. The great naval parade in
his honor was one of the greatest
events that has ever occurred in New
York harbor. From New York
the hero of Manila Bay went to
Washington, where he was enter
tanned at the White House, and re-
eeived the sword voted him by Con
gress, and in addition to all this the
people want to run the admiral for
president of the United States.
But while the admiral is d good
sailor he would perhaps hesitate at
running for SO great an Office. It is
altogether likely that the Admiral
will be able to give the administra-
tion some valuable pointers as to
how to straighten out the PHILIPPINE
difficulty. His first utterances
alon. this line were regarding Gen
eral Otis, whom he describes as try
ing to do too much. Speaking of
Otis, the Admiral said:
He wants to be general, govern
or, judge and everything else. to
have hold of all the irons. No man
can do this This is the great trou-
BILE. 1t is enough for man to do
one thing-to be one thing-but
when man tries to do everything
and be everything it is easy to i'm
agine the results
Dewey is also quoted as saying
that the fight IN the PHILIPPINES
should De easily ended. And this
latter statement is quite evident to
all people who have watched affairs.
It is mighty queer if a few natives
can thus hold off the United States.
A new commander in the PHILIPPINES
is evidently needed.

A very easy way to make people

them that hurts-some pertinent
truth that they don't want to be
known. Then, whether they be-

While walking down the street
the other day l heard the ting-a-

and stepped aside to let the bicyclist
pass. Of course one invariably
steps politely to one side when they
hear bell behind them, but never
theless it is one of those peculiar
things that it is impossible to get
used to, and it must needs be very
sanctimonious man who doesn't feel
like swearing whenever this thing
happens.
These were my thoughts and ac-

but imagine. my surprise when a
boy of a dozen years glided by on
his bike, saying politely "thank

HOUSER AND THE GOVERNOR.

EDITOR Walter Houser of the
Mondovi Herald in speaking of the
gushing and extravagant praise to
Governor Scofeld says:
It is somewhat tiresome to read
many of the commendatory articles
ST Governor Scofeld on account of
the money he has saved the state by
holding UP the Green Bay reforma-
tory and other appropriations. The
fact is Gov. Scofeld has not saved
the people any money on account of
his action in regard to these appro-
priations. He has simply withheld
his approval of the expenditure of
the money until the amount neces-
sary to meet the appropriations is
IN the treasury. He has never
raised objections to the sappropria-
tions but severely critized the legis-
Eature for not providing for a tax
levy sufficient to meet them. The
appropriations will be made sooner
or later. Of that there is no doubt.
Gov. Scofeld has made a very good
governor, but much IF the extrava-
giant praise some papers and poll
ticians lavish upon him is very far
fetched. His record is not above
the ordinary We have had many
as good governors, some better, and
some not so good. Governor SEQ
field is man of fair ability but
lacks considerable of being a great
statesman such as Spooner, Rusk,
Villas, Howe, Carpenter, Doolittle,
Bragg and many others who have
made Wisconsin heard in national
political circles. He is ambitious
beyond the warrant of his ability.
These are criticisms. His virtues
are many. He is honest, independ-
ent aud possessed Of good business
ability. Many good thing can be
said of him but such extravagant
praise as some of his admirers be-
stow upon him, especially when
they controvert facts, does the gov
ernor more harm than good.
The TIMES would like to have
some one who believes Governor
Scofeld did so much for the state by
his acJion in regard to the state
appropriations from, which he with
held his appraval, explain wherein
the great wisdom of his actor
comes. In the first place it is rea

sonable 20 suppose that these APP
preparations were needed, or they
wouldn't have been made by the
legislature. The secretary of state
refused to make the necessary levies
to meet these appropriations, as has
been the custom for years, simply
because the Governor raised the
question of constitutionality. If he
had remained quiet the Green Bay
reformatory, the Wisconsin Veter-
ans home, the State Library build
ing, the Normal Schools, and the
other state institutions that have
been cut off could have had their
money for necessary improve
ments. Technically the Gov
ernor may have been right, but too
much technicality sometimes works
a good deal of harm. as seems to be
the case IN the present instance.
OUR friend Captain Swift, of the
Rice Lake Leader. is hard hitter,
and when he doesn't like things,
doesn't hesitate to say so. Last
week he gave his republican news

gresham Babcock over the grid

and their henchmen, gave the state

pubiicans for, their presumptious-

the hands of the Spanish government.
Party platforms were also condemn
ed, criticizes while he ''Ted Roose-
velt,' pokes fun at Senator Mason,
and has an article on the antitrust
conferences. And all this appeared
in two columns of space.

poor speech by Governor Scofield

ACCORDING to Gen. Otis, the re-
bellion in the PHILIPPINES would have
collapsed long ago if it had not been
for the encouragement given the
Filipinos by the copper heads in the
United States. 1t is no doubt true
that the 'aunties' have encouraged
the insurgents to presist.

washington, April /. - The serious
cohdition of affairs i'm Samoa engaged
the attention of officials throughout
yesterday, and there were conferences
NJ the White House between the pras-
ident and Secretary Hay. and at the
state department between the secre
tary and the British ambassador and
baron Speck Won Sternberg, first sec
rotary of the German embassy. But
nothlng additional was contributed

authoritative statement came from

ana, owing TO a tangle Of dates it
served only to further involve the mys-
lery. In view of the fact that the
hShtlng was widespread and long-con-
uhued, and that the foreign officer at
London and Berlin had been officially
ADVISED or the affair, it was regarded
as somewhat strange that the state
ana navy departments should be en-
tirely without information on a bonn
bardment by an American admiral.
Up TO the close of office hours it was
our representatives in Samoa dealing
Win the outbreak of hostilities. The
calls OF Sir Julian and Baron Stern
berg were mainly for inforLation for
at neither of the embassies had there

Germany Surprised.
Berlin. March 31.--The German gov
eminent was taken wholly by surprise
with the news from Samoa. The inn
perial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, is
spending his birthday, which occurs
today, ut Baden Baden, and the min
lister of foreign affairs, Baron Won
Buelow, is enjoying a fortnight's va
cation in Holstein. But a well in
formed individual says the government
here is skeptical as TO Admiral Kautz's
instructions. He adds that the instruc
tons for bombardment were based
on the British and American claims
that Mataafa was contrayening the
Samoan act. But, the correspondents
informant points out, the contraven-
ton was not specified ard the govern
ment presumcs that If the act was real
ly infringed Herr Rose, the German
consul, would also have protested, as
his government had instructed him to
strictly conform TO the act. The asser-
ton that Herr Rose protested against
the deposition Of the provisional gov
eminent is doubted here as it is
claimed Herr Rose was instructed not
to identify himself with Mataafa
more closely than the representatives
Of the other powers. There is consld-
cradle curiosity in this city as to the
effect the outbreak will have upon the
att.tr.le of the United States and
Great Britain, but the view remains
that the final settlement will be in no
way changed by the outbreak of hos
tilities, but must be arranged by the
joint action Of the three cabinets.
