A Tribute to Deweya

w. S. Briggs, OF Washington, D. c.,
formerly of this city, paid a glowing
tribute to the nations hero, Admiral
Dewey, in a recent letter to County AT
torney A. w. Enoch. Mr.. Briggs says
he does not think that Dewey will con.
slider for a moment the democratic
candidacy for president, and that Dew
ey's homecoming has settled the ques-
ton as to our retention of the Philip
pines. The extract from the letter
pertaining to the Dewey reception is as
follows:
"You will observe from the papers
that we have had time here with the
Dewey blowout. Well, have seen the
man, and must say that his pictures dc
not do him justice. He is handsomer
than they make him. He is a typical
American. He is all right. His head
is not turned with the ovation that has
been given. He is the same plain,
square man that he has always been.
l particularly honor him higher than
any living American-yes, as high as
any of our dead heroes. He is the first
man whom l have seen who, in the eli
max of his glory, does not forget the
boys who fought with him. That can
not be said of any other man whom
the people have heretofore honored
When entereing the carriage with
Mayor Van Wyck, two lackeys occu-
pied the drivers place. Dewey sug-
gested that one of them get down and
let his orderly ride, stating that he had
been by his side through the fight at
Manila. So the orderly rode in the
same carriage with his chief through
the parade through New York City

ing such thing before. Then, again
in all matters entrusted to his care and
sagacity he has been equal to every
emergency that arose.
81 do not think he will, for a mo.
ment, consider the democratic candi.
dacy for president that some OF them
would now like to offer and have him
accept. He is too big for any such pc.
litical play. The ovation in honor oil
his return was equal to any inaugural
we have ever had, and the first instance
in which the president was not as big
a man as some other fellow. However
Mckinley did his part most gracefully
II think Dewey's homecoming has
settled the question as to our retention
of the Philippines. Well hold EN-"

J. c. BRAr1HALL DEAD.
Secretary of Dain Mfg. Co. succumbe
to Typhoid Fever


From Yesterdays Second Edition.
j. Y. Bramhall, secretary of the Dain
Manufacturing company, died at his
home at Carrollton, Mo-, this morning,
after a brief illness of typhoid fever.
A telegram announcing his death was
received this morning by Calvin Man
ming, and the sad news which it con-
tanned was indeed shock to the many
friends of Mr.. Bramhall in this city.
1t was known here that he was ill, but
his friends were not aware OF the fact
that his illness was of serious ma
ture.
1t was particularly through the eff
forts of Mr.. Bramhall that Ottumwa
secured the Dain Manufacturing plant,
the buildings for which are in course
of erection at present. He especially
favored Ottumwa, and it was greatly
through his influence that this city
was selected. Il

WHAT'S THIS:

Shades of Britain's imperial great
ness! Word now comes from the tiny
government of Dom Paul that it thinks
England will soon sue for peace,
Well, well, was ever such sublime
impudence heard before! The idea of
this wee little Dutch Republic in the
wilds of Africa giving out its opinion
that its mighty adversary, the greatest
military empire on earth, after but a
few weeks of war is thinking of quit
ting, of sueing for peace! Will the
giant sue the pigmy for peace?
And yet, the only news from Africa
from the beginning of the war has been
news of British defeat after British de-
feat, and British loss after British loss,
each defeat and loss being greater than
the other, until now the imperial arms,
fought to a standstill, are stacked in
camps-waiting True there are great
reinforcements on the way for the i'm
perial British arms, but the Beers have
not been idle; their forces are daily be-
ing recruited and strengthened and
their positions fortified in such way
that even the British confess they are
almost impregnable to assault, and
these positions, it is further confessed
are manned by brave and we'll disci-
plined army equipped with the best
modern weapons and commanded by
men who have proved themselves
among the shrewdest Of military tao
ticians and generals.
But-the proud and naughty Britain,
on whose world wide empire the sun
never sets, sue for peace from tiny
nation-hitherto held as the weakest on
earth-whose country, as Baron Jones
puts it, is no larger than some of our
western farms and its population no
greater than an ordinary American
city, Can we believe this?
Yet we read in our news columns
that the Beers have built a railroad
around Ladysmith and on to Colenso,
so that the siege of Ladysmith is mere
side issue and will not interfere with
other Boer movements in that section.
We read also in the same columns of
further British defeat and the capture
of British forts.
Yet-Britain sue for peace! Is it an
other case of David and Goliath?

On the other hand, the attorneys for
Mr.. McGraw and the members OF the
Legislature protesting with him, are
using every effort to have the whole
matter gone over as speedily as pos
sible with the view of carrying the
protest through to a speedy finish, and
they are prosecuting the fight with the
utmost vigor.
In this, however, they are opposed
by Mr.. Faulkner at every step. AS Mr..
Faulkner is also counsel for Clark, of
Montana. Democrat, it is said to be
evidence of a scheme to seat both Scott
and Clark, the one Republican and
the other a Democrat, as a sort OF
compromise.
And to this end, it is said to be the
scheme to allow both cases to drag on
until interest in them is lost, or dulled.
1t is this effort to compromise with
injustice which the attorneys for Nc
Graw most fear.
The fact that delay is the policy OF
Mr.. Scott's counsel is practical con-
fession of the fact that already has
been demonstrated to the entire salts
faction of both lawyers and the people
generally that his case will not stand
on its merits
