Expansion doesn't come SO high, after
all. 1t cost the nation something over
IS, $50, 600 a month to maintain the army
and navy before the war with Spain.
The cost since her has been somewhat
increased, but recompense has been
found in the acquisition of Porto Rico,
and in the preservation of the honor of
the nation in e%spousing the cause of an
oppressed, downtrodden people. In going
to thair rescue the country simply met
the obligations of a civilized nation. The
placing of a money value upon thus
meeting them evidences a sordid spirit
not entertained by a civilized, enlight-
enad people. The United States simply
did for Cuba and the Philippines what
France did for the struggling colonies
at Yorktown-beat back an oppressor
and aided the cause Of humanity. Only
this and nothing more.

Burn plenty Of red fire." was Presi-
dent McKinley's admonition to- the Wash
ington committee having in charge the
reception to be given Admira Dewey
upon his arrival at the national capital.
There is no question that the injunction
will be needed. MOI only will red fire
burn at Washington. but the fire Of pa
triotism will burn in every truly Amer
lean heart in the land. laundering can
non will beich forth their greeting to the
naval hero wherever he goes, the strains
of martial music will note his every foot
fall, Old Glory will shake itself in ecstacy
at his approach, and every star in it's
folds Of red. white and blue will twinkle
the admiration and love of a grateful
people. Dewey has long since been re-
ceived and enthroned in the hearts Of
TO- 600, 900 people. There is not enough red
fire in the land to light his way deeper
into them.

GOVERNOR OF THE PHILIPPINES.

More than one eastern daily has found
fault with President Mckinley because
he put an army officer at the head in the
government of The Philippines. 1t may
be true that the honor of supreme au-
thority in the direction of affairs there
properly belonged to Admiral Dewey,
but it is equally true that Dewey has
gained more honor among the American
people by his wisdom in conducting the
affairs at Manila during the long crit
lea lperiod when immediate communica-
ton with Washington was interrupted.
They know he made no mistake. They
know he was complete master of the
situation. He gained and held the re-
apect and confidence of the Filipinos in
an extraordinary degree. All this the
American people know. They further
more know that having achieved what he
was sent to perform, he earned a vaca-
ton from his arduOus work, and they are
happy to learn he was granted it.
There is no doubt Dewey may have
III Afio ioSNiiAp IAlo ~ rs
est position of authority on lane if he
desired it. 1t is evident, however, he did
not seek or want it. He had filled the
full Measure of his duty as the head of
the American navy at the Philippines,
and was willing that another should per-
form the secondary duties of the war
business. For those duties General Otis
was selected. If he has not done wha
Dewey could have done, or what was
expected Of the general, he himself is at
fault. Dewey needed a rest and has it.,
and the American people are not be-
grudging him his pleasure. Dewey was
not turned down by any clique of politi-
clans and some army officers, as some
charge. He simply retired from the scene
of active operations and is on his way to
meet his family, and a patriotic, grateful
people.
N now comes these same journals
that charged the administration with
SURPRISING Dewey and turning him
down, with the proposition that the ad-
miral be appointed governor general of
the Philippines. How do these Journals
know that Dewey wants the office? He
is now holding the highest position in the
American navy. He has hardly accus-
toned himself to his new duties and has
had no opportunity to shake hands with
those who clothed him with the honor.
1t would seem that these are they who
would turn down the now convalescing
admiral and relegate him to a two by
SIX plat in a cemetery, or, in other words,
kill him with kindness.
Dewey does not appear to be a man
ambitious for political honors. He saws
his teachings and inclinations do not in
cline him in that direction. That means
he is satisfied with his present exalted
position. Bht if Dewey wants the gov
eltEor generalship of the Philippines
there is not a patriotic American who
would not rejoice to see him have it.
There is nothing too good for the hero
of Manila.

1t is thought China is approaching dam
gerously near to recognizing the belliger-
ency of the Filipinos by declaring Otis
horses he purchased in that country to
be c~ontraband of war. The moon-eyed
Celestial neighbors of the Filipino in-
surgents have a rather singular concep-
ton of what is contraband of war. If
horses be contraband all other animals
hat walk and breathe. including cows,
sheep. goats, hogs and poultry, though
used for propagating purposes alone. are
in the same category. But it may be SER
iously doubted that should Otis place an
order for the employment of a thousand
American officers INC soldiers in Luzon
that they would also be declared contra
band of war, and their departure from
the flowery kingdom be denied. This gov
eminent, however, has not paid any at
tention to the declaration Of the Picking
authorities, and probably will not do so.
Otls may get his horses elsewhere, If
not in China, and thus avoid a serious
complication with the great Chinese en-
pire. By the way, that government may
contend that its subjects are giving aid
and comfort to Americans by trading
with the merchants Of this country, and
order them home. That would be a sad
blow to some one, probably the saddest to
it's pig-tailed subjects in Montana, for in
stance.

Carnegie is in luck, and, while enjoying

soberly speaking, nothing but a formal
oath of allegiance to some other country,

A bright Philadelphia wheel woman

people who also find time TO ride the
wheel gave a bicycle party the other day.
There We're over fifty guests. and as the
hostess knew the trouble that might arise
if the wheels should get mixed she in
structed the servant to cover them by the
check system, the same as Is used to Keep

ball. This was done, and the checks We're
pinned to the rubber tires. Where the
pins would not penetrate the tires easily
the servant drove them in with hammer.
When Good night" was reached there
followed a painful scene of confusion and
suppressed profanity, and bicycle parties
are no longer in favor in that neighbour
hood.
