which his Government could be-
stow upon him. A rank was re-
vived Tor him which only a few OF
our most distinguished naval
heroes have held, carrying with il
a salary which will enable him to
live comfortably and even luxnri-
ously for the rest Of his lie. More
over, the Admiral knows that he
has the confidence and admiration
OF the American people, and surely
this is all that any man, however
exalted his services. could reason
ably desire. Under these circum-
stances Admiral Dewey doubtless
realizes that he has been amply
compensated tor doing his duty
conscientiously and heroicallY,
ust as every captain and sailor in
his squadron did on that memor
able day when the Spanish fleet
was destroyed in Manila bay.
While declining to accept a
home for himself from the Ameri-
can people, Admiral Dewey an
nounces his willingness to devote
any fund which may have been
raised or which may be subscribed
hereafter to the establishmen OF a
home for sick and disabled sailors.
This is a most praiseworthY de-
termination. 1t does not detract
from the credit which attaches to
so accomplished a commander as
Admiral Dewey to say that but for
the "men behind the guns" and
the plain sailors his victory would
never have been won. Whatever
can be done to make them com
Portable in sickness and in old age
in addition to what the Govern
ment does tor them is richly de-
served by them. Admiral Dewey
values them at their real worth,
when the public is apt to forget
them and to think only Of the off
GERS who led them in battle and
whose names are most frequently
upon mems lips and in the news
papers. In suggesting that the
generosity Of the people should be
diverted from him to the men who
won the victory Admiral Dewey
takes a step " hich will, il possible,
endear him in still greater measure
to his countrVmen. He has been
richly rewarded; his fame and his
future are assured and if the peo-
pie desire to heap more hOnors
upon him for the simple dscharge
OF his duty, it is not surprising that
a man Of his keen sense Of justice
and refinement should desire to
share the peoples generosity with
those faithful and intrepid sailors
who made it possible for him to
become famous. Moreover, in
Admiral Dewev's declination one
may read between the lines a sug
gestion that an officer Of the navy
is amply remunerated by the con-
sciousness of duty bravely and
efficiently done, and that it is more
decorous for him to refuse a gra
tuitV from the public than to en-
brace every opportunity to ad-
vance his personal fortunes by
sancuoning appeals to the nations
gratitude and generosity.

The FRANCHISE DEBATE IN The
NOLKsRAAD.
7fWeS.-London, May "a

tNfc9s7 A~OllAoht way -
The franchise question, which was
hotly debated in the First Vo'ksrsad
Yesterday, is the question in the Trans
vaal, and it must form the main subject
for discussion in the interview between
the High Commissioner for South Africa
and President Kruger next week, Both
the UItlanders and the Boer Couserva-
tives realize to the full that it IS the
kernel OF the controversy between them
and both have directed their tactics
accordingly. The negotiations opened
by Mr. Lippert with the leaders OF the
mining industry disclosed very clearly
the attitude OF both sides The Beers
attempted to drive a wedge into the
Uitlander party by separating the
''classes" and the masses" They
sought to attain this end by Offering
valuable conce ssions OF material order
to the mining industryon co 1dition that
the chiefs ofthat industry accepted their
proposals as a whole, and these pro.
posals dealt, amongst other things, with
the Franchise. Mr. Rouliot and his
colleagues declined to fall into the trap
prepared Tor them. They plainly told
the Boer emissaries that they we're not
competent to bargain away the political
rights of the bulk Of their fellow country
men in the Republic.
The President has now brought for
ward his reform proposals, and so far
as it is possible to Judge by the tele'
graphic accounts, they correspond with
those suggested by Mr.. Lippert and
practically rejected by Mr.. Roulot and
his colleagues, and by the prominent
Ultlarders whom thev Informally con.
suited. Apart from our treaty
rights it IS our duty to South Africa as
the paramount Power to see that our
great interests, political and material,
in that region are not kept in lasting
jeopardy by the unintelllgent perversity
o the least enlightened white Commun-
ity within its borders. Sir Alfred
MiIner, we are confident, will convey to
President Kruger in unmstakable terms
that the citizens OF the Empire at home
and in the colonies recognize this duty,
and will not finch from doing il.

The HYpoorIsr

OF this vile war in the East is made
all the worse by the fact that our
Government made all the use it
could of the Philippines when it
was question Of fighting Spain.
The unhappy Filipinos were made

coming as their li5erators from
Spanish rule, and that when the
Spaniards had gone the natives
would have their territory restored
to them by their grateful allies.
A large sum Of money was depos.
tied by the Filipino representative
in the chartered Bank of India,
Australia and China tor the pur-
pose Of enabling the FIlipinos to
help the Americans in driving the
Spaniards out Of the islands. Ad
miral Dewey assured the Filipinos
that the American Government
would furnish them with all the
arms and ammunition they needed,
This was at a conference on the
AdmiraPs flagship.
The Filipinos, in so tar as they
secured arms, carried out their
part OF the bargain. They fought
the Spaniards with desperate
valor, driving them from point to
point, they actively assisted the
Americans, and their flag was
recognized by Admiral Dewey
when he had need oil their assist
ance, and then. when all this and
more had taken place, the Filipinos
found themselves treated as rebels
in their own land, found them
selves denounced by the President
as outlaws, found their homes in
vaded, their goods stolen, their
liberty at the mercy OF the ships
and guns OF great Power, acting
under a treaty which sold the
Filipinos to the United States al

20 Rest on FalsehOOd.
The last peg upon which the
supporters OF Admiral Sampson
can hang their eulogies Of him has
been swept away.
AS one by one the roses in the
Sampson wreath have fallen, the
ad nirers Of the Admiral have
sought to retain one last blossom
in the shape of an alleged conver-
sation between Admiral Schley
and Lieut.. Commander Hodgson,
which is said TO have occurred on
the deck OF the Brooklyn while the
battle OF Santiago was in progress.
When everything else which had
been said to the detriment OF
SchleY had been disproved, this
conversation was again brought to
the surface as a last resort and
quoted With great glee. 1t is
worth while reproducing the al
legged colloquy again, as f lows:
Schley-Hard aport.
Hodgson--Nou mean starbodrd.
Schley-No, | don't We are near
enough to them (the Spaniards) already
Hodgson-But we will cut down the
Texas.
Schl y-Damn the Texas Let her
look out for herself
This was the conversation, re-
ported with apparent accuracy and
mInut,ness OF detail. 1t was
quoted Tor the purpose OF showing
that Schley wanted to run away
from the enemy, and, if 1t had been
true would have been a damaging
DIT of evidence. AS a matter Of
fact, It has not the slightest ground
OF truth. Lieut.. Commander
Hodgson. who is made one Of the
principals in the story, has written
the following plain. straightlor-
ward, unequivocal denial.

Of the battle off Santiago, July ;, 1898,

This denial was hardly necessary
to those who know that such a con-
versation never could have oc-
CURED on board a man of war, so
opposed is it to all ideas Of discip-
line. In addition to printing it,
however, it can be stated that the
New York SuH published the story
when it had been shown by inquiry
to be without foundation. Lieut..
Commander Hodgson was called
upon by reporter of the SHV, who
sought to gain confirmation Of 1t,
and was told that it was absolutely
false. Notwithstanding this, the
Sun continued to repeat the false
hood and to assert that Lieut.. Com
mander Hodgson had given his in
dorsement to the tale.
The story has now, however,
been efectually disposed Of, unless
it is deliberately reprinted in spite
of its absolute lack OF truth.

Mr. Kruger exhibited consummj te

assigned to himself He affected to
throw himself on the indulgence Of the
House. He merely wanted to introduce
the legislation, and he was convinced
that the members would not object to

Above all, he was especially emphatic
in protesting that the proposals we're

a pathetic indignation that such a taint
should be suspected All was very
clever. but we venture to believe on the

much. The discussion jumped too
