EDITORIAL NOTES.

Dewey should change doctors. Th'
one who is trying to bury him alive il
Washingto ton is evidently in the EN-
ploy of some politicians who fear hi
growing popularity.
| Admiral Schley has been ordered Il
South Africa with a squadron OF three
VESSELS to look after American inter
| ests during the war between the Beers
and the British. He is certainly equal
to the occasion.
The Dutch bored holes in about 2OOC
British at Ladysmith last Monday.
They have displayed their ability to
hold their own with the red coats so
long as they are not outnumbered, but
if the war keeps up they will finally
have to surrender to the more powerful
country.
Archbishop Chappell, papal dele
gate to the Philippines, and his asso.
ciate, Father McKinnon, of California,
are both ardent expausionists," boast
ingly exclaims republican exchange.
Certainly they are. Mr.. Mckinley
would not consent to their being sent
there if they were not.
The Seattle Post-lntelligencer is re.
ported to have been sold to Mark
Hanna, but the paper stoutly denies
that it has fallen into his hands. II is
only reasonable it should. Anybody,
even the president would deny having
been delivered body and soul into the
hands of the dollar mark senator.
Admiral Dewey, bluff, sensible man
that he is, has intimated that he
wishes no more banquets or sentimen-
tai fapdoodle; and he absolutely re-
fuses to be kissed, which is harsh
but well.merited criticism of the silly
women who have made themselves so
ridiculous by their 5oscultatory con,
duct on similar occasions.
The so-called prize fight last Satur-
day night was not creditable to the
city. It is to be hoped there will not
be repetition anyway soon. Glove
contests for points are admissible, but
. gloyecontessfor money is not. Parties
who encourage such "scraps" should
bear in mind that it is violation OF
.he law. Let there be no more of it
here.
Carl Schurz, one of the frmest sup
,orters of the gold standard, announces
hat in his opinion the free coinage OF
liver is less dangerous to American !.
Institutions than is the threatened i'm. :
,erlism, therefore he will support
,arty declaring for free coinage and
gainst Imperialism rather than one

lot alone in this sentiment either. =
1t ia not expected the democrats will
AIRY the election to be held in Ohio !.
ext Tuesday. The administration :,
as thrown all the force possible into
be campaign, all the federal officers n
] the state have been required to a.
ork the machinery at their disposal fc
II the republican nominees, and bar n
is of money have been spent to de- cl
at Mclean. So if he cuts down the ir
ajority by which Mckinley carried o,
10 state in 1895 he will have won =,
victory. pt
It is militarism that has brought such CT
untries as Spain and Italy, Austria gc
d France to their present wretched A
ndition. The same force must oper. ST
. in the same way with reference to
8 now mighty nations of England,
lssia and Germany. The lesson OF
this to the American republic is III
parent. A large and powerful class su
