Washington Letter.

A dispatch from Manila quotes Gen.
Otis as saying that he cares nothing
about censoring news of che war, and
in fact never approved the censorship.
1t is not denied at the war depart
ment that Gen. Otis made this state
ment, in substance. in dispatch to the
adjutant general of the army. The
significance of this will not escape at
tention. 1t means that the censorship
was established by the Washington
authorities, and not by Gen. Otis: that
the republican administration desired
that the news concerning the war
should not be given out, and the Amer
lean people should be kept in ignorance
of the military operations in the new
possessions.
The dispatch from Otis, stating that
the censorship had been abolished was
not given out at the war department,
and its text was not made public. 1t is
apparent that Otis, to set himself right
with American critics, bluntly stated
the truth. 1t is not surprising that the
department cut off that portion of his
dispatch which stated that he never
had favored the concealment of facts,
because that shifted the responsibility
to the department officials and the ad-
ministration.
Republican leaders have induced Sen
ator Proctor to announce that Dewey,
who is native of the Senator's state,
Vermont, is not candidate for the
presidency. AT the solicitation of
Washington republicans, Proctor has
written letter to small newspaper in
Vermont, stating, in effect, that Dewey
is not seeking the presidency. The Ad-
miral says Proctor, has no desire to en-
ter politics. He is making no effort to
secure political honors.
This is not very emphatic disclaim-
er. 1t has not been at all necessary to
state that Admiral Dewey would not
enter a scramble for the republican
nomination for the presidency. The
question which most disturbed the
Mckinley managers has been, whether
or not Dewey would, at the proper
time hereafter, permit it to become
known that he would accept gracefully
the nomination, if rendered him. Sen
ator Proctor's statement leaves that
question unanswered, and in fact, indi
Gates that if it comes about without
seeking, Dewey will not hesitate to &C
cept the presidential nomination. The
Mckinley men, therefore, remain in the
same state of disturbance and anxiety
as to the Admirals ultimate intentions
The prolongation of the war in the
Philippines, with no encouraging re-
port of progress there, together with
the approach of the new congress, is
adding continually to the probabilities
of going outside of Ohio for presiden
tial material next summer. Reed hat
retired from politics, but Dewey, who
desires no more sea duty, is possibil
ity frsught with unknown difficulty tt
Mckinley supporters. With Dewey il
the White house. he would be as antag
onistic to many Mckinley influences as
Bryan would be; and that faction OF
republican leaders which trains with
Hanna and Elkins, is yet on the anx
ious bench with regard to Dewey's posi-
tion hereafter.

Good Reading.

There are a few men in this country
whose speeches can be cut up and good
editorials made of the telling para
graphs. President Mckinley is one
of these. Here are a few of the good
things he said is welcoming the Penn
sylvania soldiers home from the Phil
lippines:
"You made secure and permanent
the victory of Dewey. You added
new glory to American arms. You
and your brave comrades engaged on
other fields of conflict have enlarged
the map of the United States and ex-
tended the Jurisdiction of American
liberty.
"Our troops represented the cour-
age and the conscience, the purpose
and patriotism, of their country.
Whether in Cuba, Porto Rico or the
Philippines, or at home awaiting or
ders, they did their full duty, and all
sought the post of greatest peril.
They never faltered. The Eighth

did not claim to privilege-they de-
clined it. They voluntarily remained
in the service and declared their pur-
pose to stay until their places could
be filled by new levies, and longer if
the government needed them. Their

line, where exposure and death con-
fronted them, and where both have
exacted their victims.

did not run away. They were not
serving the insurgents in the Philip
pines nor their sympathizers at home.

the men, few in number, happily, who
would have rejoiced to have seen them
