The Register is disappointed that the
Intelllgencer doesn't class General
Funston with the Filipino champions
who are doing all they can to prejudice
the people OF this country against their
government, by vIllifying the President
OF the United States. as the Register
itself does in referring to him as EN-
peror William" rendering tribute to
Agulnaido, advocating the reputation
of treaty obligations. and the adoption
of a position of abandonment at this
time, which would be national dis
grace.
The Intelligencer referred to Funs-
ton as a returning hero, who won
honors by his daring and patriotic
cournge, and bears military title
conferred upon him by the President Of
the United states, in voluntary recognI-
lion OF his splendid service In the Phil
ippines. It is true that Funston in

Dewsy and His just Honors.


It is now pretty well assured that
Admiral Dewey will arrive at New York
about the first of October. After leav-
ing Gibraltar he will sail direct to New
York, and there will be no further de-
lay in the journey. Contrary to the
fears expressed by some persons the
admiral will not decline to accept the
big reception being prepared for him
in the metropolis, but cordially accepts
It, placing himself in the hands OF the
committee. A similar, though Official
reception at Washington City will also
be accepted.
In all probability Dewey will not de-
sire any further ovadons, other than
the tributes that will be rendered in the
form OF gifts. such as swords and other
mementoes: but the great receptions at
New York and Washington will be suf-
dciently expressive Of the sentiment OF
the country and demonstrative Of the
appreciation OF the great honors which
have been bestowed upon him by the
Nation and the representatives Of other
countries. He is modest man and will
not court notorIety. on the contrary.
the idea is not congenial to his nature.
Admiral Dewey has all the attributes
Of a really great national hero. He Is
satisfied and gratifed with the knowl-
edge that he has the love, and esteem
and the admiration of his countrymen.
That is the living monument erected to
the living, and really great hero and
statesman, who bears his honors mod
estly and with becoming grace. Ad-
nlral Dewey cannot be spoiled by this
popular esteem. nor can political ambi-
lions be aroused by these demonstra-
lions. Like other great naval and mill
'itary geniuses, he is content to rest upon
the laurels he has justly earned and
does not care to seek for others.
we refer to this phase of the coming
event of Admiral Dewey's return to his
native soil, in view of the reports that
Mr.. w. C. Whitney has undertaken the
task of inducing him to become a presi-
Dental candidate on a popular ticket"
Some persons have favored that idea;
Dewey, 1t goes without saying, will not
countenance 1t. He will not permit
himself to be used as a political factor.
When. under somewhat similar cir
cumstances. General Grant, in the
height Of his military fame, protested
against being made President, on the
ground that he was better fitted for a
soldier than a Chief Executive, he was
not needed. 1t was forced upon him.
Grant retained his fame, and 1t and his
memory are to-day honored by his
countrymen, and always will be. for
such a hero never dies. but he was
known to have regretted that he was
not permitted to rest upon his laurelS
after the war. Notwithstanding he was
twice elected President, and an effort
made to give him a third term-a mis-
take by his misguided friends which
gave him no small trouble Of mind. The
monuments erected to Grant testify to
a Nations gratitude, but his own
wishes should have been respected.

A SHORT CAMPAIGN.

Disguised Democratic Paper Pleads
for Late National Conventions.
New York Times: September would
be an excellent month for the Demo-
cratic and Republican conventions. oc-
tober would be better yet-rather late in
October. There Is absolutely nothing
to be gained by IN earlier presentation
OF the candidates and platforms. Bry-
ans achievements at Chicago. where he
exhibited good deal Of skill as poll
ticIan and harmonizer. allaying dIscon-
tents and adjusting difficulties and DIFF
ferences that were the only obstacles In
his path to the nomination. will put an
end to all talk OF rival candidates. He
controls the situation. He Is the man
that very great majority OF the DEM
ocratlc party want, and they VIII nave
him. Now that AlHer Is out, President
Mckinley is certain to be renominated.
1t is only in New York that speculation
has ventured to suggest u possible r..
Valry, and that slender possibility VIII
disappear II the President makes the
use he Is expected to make OF the OPP
portunity to ill the vacancy In the war
department. Mckinley upon one side,
Bryan, on the .other-these are the pres
ldential candidates.
It would be silly to pretend that the
people require long campaign to De-
come acquainted with these gentlemen.
1t would be not less silly to assert that
the voters will need time to consider
the policies and principles which they
respectively represent Everybody
=
write both platforms now. What an
owlIsh and preposterous proceeding to
nominate these candidates and put
for their platforms in June or early July
and then turn loose the spellblnders
with their long speeches, trite and terri
BILE: the writer's Of campaign literature,

the campaign button men, the torch
bearers, the Internal brass bands. and
the bawling flends who rush yellow

IL Bryan is nominated the first week IN
July he will have seventeen weeks In
which to talk to n weary and burdened
people about 16 &c l.
We appeal to the party managers to
be merclful and considerate. Let them
contemplate the spectacle OF this con-
tented and busy people giving their I'M
divided minds TO their days work, In
dustriously and successfully repairing
the losses Of the lean years and laying
up the provision against future. rainy
days. 1t is people that would dearly
love to be let alone. We must have an
election. 1t is fated that Bryan must
be beaten again, and the Democratic
party will not be regenerated and get
wisdom until 1t has once more been
soundly licked. But oh. make 1t short.
Let us not waste four months and I'M
told millions in reaching a foregone
conclusion.

with his brave command, regardless Of
what his personal opinion may be as
to any mistakes that have made. Funs-
ton ism. the sort Of man to be classed
among those who in this country did
all they could to embarrass and har-
rass the campaign in which he was en-
gagged. Funston was far removed from
the opportunity to see all that this class
has been doing for the past six months.
The Register also directs the Intelll-
gencers attention to Mr.. carnegie's
statements favoring the Abandonment
OF the military policy for a policy OF
Cancellation. These suggestions are not
new. They have been advocated by
others. It is not reasonable to advo-
cate such a policy, but It may be re-
garded as Impractical, In view Of the
failures that have followed every such
attempt. Unconditional indepen-
dence.Y and recognition Of a govern
ment which has NO basis and no back
ing has been Agulnaldo's lnvariable re-
Spouse. Some Of his most conservative
and intelligent officers have been assas-
sinated for even suggesting to him
Cancellation" It Is a known fact that
large numbers of FilIpInos are petitions
ing for American protection and receiv-
ing 1t, but they are not the leaders.
Mr.. Carnegie has said nothing trea-
sonable nor seditIous He is not abus-
i've, nor does he libel the President. He
has his ideas about how to bring peace.
He cannot be classed with Edward At
kinson and his league. for he does not
stoop to>small things. He isn't apply
Ing to those who differ from him vile
epithetS.
The Register stretches its imaglna-
ton a long ways when 1t says: Quot
ing Grant. Mr.. Carnegie says, Let US
have peace. and adds, while we may
secure 1t with honor and without untold
sacrifice" Grant uttered that sentl-
ment after he had received the surren-
der of Lee. following a great civil war
lasting four years. It was a Nation
that had been divided, and the time for
reunion had come; 1t came and is here
now. Grant had not fought an uncivil-
lied people without government that
had not been recognized by other coun-
tries. He fought to prevent the dis
solving of Union of states, which had
existed eighty-fve years. And when
the time came to lay down the arms and
resume peace and the reconstruction Of
the Nation, he said: LET US have
peace" And there was peace. 1t had
already come. and these immortal
words are as good to-day as they were
then. Grant fought for peace, because
1t could not be secured in any other
way. The United States is fighting for
peace and civilization now, because all
other means have failed, and the ma
tional honor and humane and Christian
civilization demand extreme means.

WIN, DID They Como for 2

Chicago Times Herald: Not since the
noble Duke Of York performed his ever
memorable military maneuver Of
marching 10000 men up hill and down
again without the loss of single step
has there been such another solemn
farce enacted as that OF the coming and
going of the Democratic national COM
mittee. From every quarter of the
Union Its members tlocked to Chicago.
Big developments were promised in
their whispers. Mystery excited curl
osIty, and curiosity fed on the myster-
ious hints of mighty changes to take
place in Democratic methods and rules.
Now the committee has come and
gone. and the only ripple left on the
sea of Democratic uncertainty is around
the spot where Editor Devlin dlsap-
peared after being tossed In the air. A
few widening rings upon the surface OF
midsummer politics around some empty
bubbles is all that is left to tell Of the
visit Of the Democratic national COM
mlttee.
The unit rule stIll stands.
The two-thirds rule still stands.
The status of gold Democrats is I'M
changed.
only Devlln is gone.

It is reported that General Merritt

This rumor, so far as Merritt is con-
cerned, is denied, and 1t is stated that
the President has no such intention.
1t was at General Merritt's own re-
quest that he was not returned to Ma
Mia after the adjournment OF the
Spanish and American peace commits
sIons at Paris, where he was summoned
from his command in the Philippines to
give the American commissioners ad-
vice. 1t is possible, however, that II 1t
were desired to have him returned he
might consent, as there is a general senti-
ment that Merritt is well-htted for the
active and aggressive campaign which
is being mapped out to bring the insur-
rectIon to an end as quickly as possible
ON the ending Of the rainy season.
General Merritt's familiarity with the
country, and his experience during the
campaigns last summer after the fall
OF Manila, might stand him In good
stead. However. there are reasons why
Merritt's appointment may not be de-
sired, and other means for the assIs-
lance of Otis may be adopted.

rhe "Conner" md the Girl.

Philadelphia Record: On one OF the
recent hot nights a young lady OF
Manayunk was suffering from a vIo-
lent headache which made sleeping Inn
possible. To avoid the heat and
thinking the fresh air might ease her
head, she sat out on the front door step,
using a bottle OF ammonia frequently
as smelling salts. a willy policeman
OF German extraction espled the lady
at nn unseemly hour Of the morning,
and imagined that she was drinking
literally from n bottle, or else intended
to commit suicide. After watching her
awhile he emerged from HIS hiding
place. walked up to the supposed sui
eide. and asked her why she slept on
the steps. She replied that she was
not sleeping, and answered truthfully
ms to what she was doing with the bot
tie stu the willy bluecoat was not
satisfied and insisted on examining the
bottle. He took n long, str whirf OF
the ammonia and was nearly knocked
down. He spluttcred, and then swore.
The young lady laughed so hard that
her headache was cured.

REFLECTIONS OF a BACHELOR

No man can love woman long who
he knows doesn't trust him.
A man lives to get even; woman
to make the world think she's doing 1t.
When a mans heart is hurt his first
instinct Is to hide himself; woman's
first impulse is to hide the hurt.
Women give love a good reputation
much as they do their serVants-oe-
cause they are afraid II they don't 1t
will tell other women their secrets.
When a man gets letter with some
bad news in 1t he carries 1t around win
him till he gets used to II; when wo-
man gets one she hides 1t away some
where where she can find It unexpected
~ and have a good time crying over 1t.

Railway Ordinance Gets a BLOW
The decision Of the second branch Of
the city council last night, in postpon-
ing indefinitely any and all action on
the report OF the railroad committee.
recommending the adoption OF the Peo-
pies Street Railway ordinance, clearly
indicates that a majority Of that branch
Is opposed to the franchise In Its pres
emit form. The motion was carried by
fifteen to eight, with 1--WE absentees.
This temporarily dlsposes of the mat
ter, and It remains to be seen what the
future will bring forth. Fifteen is a
majority Of the second branch, with all
the members present, but 1t is a narrow
one. How the first branch stands can
not now be determined, for there was
no opportunity for test vote. As the
action last night was taken without
discussion, 1t may be taken that the
members had fully made up their minds
how they would vote on either side.
Regarding the effect Of the action, It
is well to note that the opposition to the
franchise holds that, according to Cush-
lng's Manual, and other parliamentary
authorities. resolution postponing &C.
ton Indefinitely on an ordinance kills
1t dead. 1t may possibly come up again,
but 1t cannot be the same ordinance.
This is a feature Of the case which is
of no small interest, and future devel-
opments may be important, consider
ing the fact that some objections were
based on the construction of the ordI-
nance.
