INTERVIEW WITH ADMIRAL DEWEY.

We reproduce an interview with Ad-
miral Dewey, decidedly opposing the
present PHILIPPINE policy of the admins
tratlon, and showing that the one hero of
the war is true American and Vermont
er. In this interview Admiral Dewey Is
unquestionably in accord with the great
majority of Americans, who more and
more as they consider. the questions in
volved will stand by the principles of
Justice and liberty upon which the
American republic was founded, and
only upon which 1t can continue to exist.
In personal Interview recently with
another eminent Vermonter and native
of Middlebury, Mr.. Ezra Warner of
Chicago, Mr.. Warner referred to our
present PHILIPPINE policy as horrible,
being directly opposed to lifelong Amer
lean principles. Mr.. Warner, directly
from the West, said, too, that seven out
Of nine of those he met had this feeling,
and he felt that soon in some way the
American policy must be changed to
line with American sentiment.
Upon such a platform as outlined
by this interview the REGISTER has
already proposed the name of Admiral
Dewey for president in 1900. In this
crisis of American history his is the
right name, one that we all can trust,
and beyond question if nominated he
would be most triumphantly elected,
whoever might be the opposite candidate
or by whom nominated.

few persons If they knew what they
were buying. 1t is always possible to
sell this spurious "butter" little lower
than genuine butter of acceptable flavor.
1t Is plain that so much spurious
"butter" never could be sold IL it were
called by any name indicating its real
character, and, if the figures supplied by
the Pennsylvania Bureau are trust
worthy, there Is no escaping the conyic-
ton that no laws yet passed have greatly
prevented the sale of the compound.

The st. Louis Republic thinks that
possibly we are unjust to the beef trust
in ascribing to it motives of greed In
raising prices sky-high. 1t is pointed
out that the beef trust managers may
have been reading Professor Atwaters
announcement that the American people
eat too much meat; and it is with the
highly benevolent object of preserving
the national digestion that prices have
been put at prohibitive height.

Sir Thomas Upton was received by a
big and demonstrative crowd at the pier
in New York on his arrival from Eng
land. This was simply an evidence of
good feeling and not of partisanship.
Sir Thomas will find that there is many a
slip 'twixt the Americas cup and the

The announcement by one large bicy-

that it will not enter the trust under any

failure of the big combination in its OBJ

is too powerful to crush.
