THE REED RULES.

Although the Reed rules gained fol-
ex-Speaker I. b. Reed the title of Czai
and brought upon him the calumny
which fierce partisanship breeds, the
Reed rules are one of the most import.
ant and most acceptable legacies which
any Speaker of the House of Represen.
tatives has left to the country. Pre-.
vious to the opening Of the Fif.y-sixth
Congressional session discussion was
rife as to the advisability Of continuing
the parliamentary rules for which
Reed stood sponsor. This discussion
like that which took place at the or.
ganization of the House was largely
perfunctory. The Democrats oppose
the rules, that allow the majority of
the House to do business, principally
because these rules are Reeds and
Reed is Republican.
Notwithstanding purely partisan
discussion, the Reed rules have come
to stay and while slight changes may
occur from time to time the founda-
ton principle-the majority must rule
will remain. The day has passed
when the people will view with indif-
ference, weeks of Congressional ses-
sions wasted in useless discussion and
the business of the nation blockaded
by minority which does nothing but
retard progress. Reeds rules put new
life into the work of Congress and put
an end to the manipulations of filibus-
tiers whose only claim to prominence
was based on their physical ability to
talk their colleagues to sleep and the
nations business to death. In DAYS
when the tariff was the all absorbing
topic, business men, irrespective of
party Affiliations, called for action.

To Reed belongs the honor for ac-

by the dominant party. Though con-

REVOLVING THE REVOLUTION.

Threshing over the details of the
revolution of 1898 is interesting and
valuable only to those who desire to
register personal opinions on events
as the United States Congress and Off
cial action of the nation is concerned
the question is settled and cannot be
| upset or modified by reviving old
wrangles. The vital issue of today is,
whether the new governmental con-
ditions of Hawaii will be organized on
war sentiment between supporters of
the monarchy and leaders of the
! revolution.
These conditions will continue If the
organic law granted the Islands is
| framed on lines that favor the con-
tinuancc in power of the ruling faction
an American government administered
by an American governor and the old
bitterness and jealousies that accom-
plish nothing in the interests of prog
ress or general public welfare will
gradually sink out of sight. Let the
majority rule under the beneflcent and
liberal conditions found in an Ameri-
can territory. Let the standard of
political life be the American stand
ard that sets aside the past and meets
the present with votes. Neither Ha-
waiians nor the Dole government will
gain prestige with Americans or with
Congress by reverting to the discus
sions of former days. The Queen will
not be returned to power and the Dole
government will not be continued in
power. The sooner both of these fac
tons come to realization of the stu
alton, the better will be Hawaii's
chances of speedily securing form of
government which will leave the peo-
pie free TO settle their differences at
the polls and obtain such administra-
ton of local affairs as shall meet the
APPROVAL of the majority irrespective
of former individual affiliations.

DEWEY'S CHARACTER
MIRRORED BY WORDS.

Characteristic utterances from the lips Of
Admiral Dewey give accurate glimpses OF
the character OF the man. Some OF his most
notable sayings are these:

"Open with all guns
This command was given In the height Of
he Manila battle.
You must keep or wholly give up the
Philippine Islands"
This was his message to the peace COM

territory, and Ill parade my men for no
foreigner that ever drew breath"
This he said 70 the complaining captain Of
the port OF Malta.

capital Of the Philippine Islands involv-
cd the defeat of the Spanish feet. The
location of thar feet was unknown, and
with thousands of islands to hide among
it could not be considered an easy task
to corner it.
1t is familiar history how Dewey with
his squadron arrived on Saturday even
ing, April 80, at Corregidor Island, which
guards the entrance to the harbor. The
moon was up, but no lights showed from
the vessels until a spark from the fun
mel Of the dispatch boat Mccullough at
tracted the attention of the forts and
drew their fire. The fire was returned
and the squadron passed on, while a few
torpedoes harmlessly exploded in front Of
the flagship. Steaming at slow speed
all night, with the men at full Mngth be-
side their guns, the squadron saw as gray
dawn broke the sleeping city of Manila
and Cavite, with its white houses and
battlements and its great arsenal, close
at hand. But gladder sight to Dewey's
eyes was the Spanish feet, its officers and
men dreaming the national dream Of
manana"-to-morrow.

REMARKABLE MODESTY
IN DRWEY'S REPORTS

Admiral Dewey's modesty OF nature was
never better illustrated than In his two
official dispatches 10 Washington announcing
his great Victory. On May he cabled:
"The squadron arrived at daybreak this
morning. Immediately engaged the enemy

world.
Victory Brings New Labors.
But with the sinking of the Spanish
feet Dewey's work was not done. His
victory had opened up new fields for his
energy. He had to deal with natives,
| Spaniards and other foreigners. Under
the jealous eyes Of foreign men-of-war
he had to keep watch and ward over the
new acquisition and solve the confusing
problems that arose daily. An indis-
Greet act might embroil the country with
other nations, and too much leniency
| would be considered as temerity. But TO
every difficulty that arose he was equal.
He was warrior, diplomat, interpreter Of
international law all in one. And for
thirteen months he kept his vigil in Ma
nila harbor, ready for any emergency
that might come.
Once, after the battle of Manila, when
Spain was about dispatching squadron
under Camara to the Philippines, Dewey
sent cablegram to the naval department
suggesting that Camara would turn back
IL the United States were to make DEM
onstration on the coast of Spain. There
upon it was announced that Commodore
Watson would be sent across the Attain
tic. The hint was sufficient and Camara
turned back to Spain from the Suez
| canal.

man, discreet, diplomatic, dignifed, dur
ing the crucial days following the battle
Of Cavite, when indiscreton might jeop-
ardize what had been won and lead to
unknown dangers. And at all times and
under all circumstances he has proved
himself an American gentleman.
From that May day, in 1898, when the
news of His superb victory over the Span
ish feet in Manila harbor electrified the
nation, causing many people at first to
question its accuracy so astonishingly
complete was it, Dewey's name has been
oftenest on American lips and his fame
has been enshrined in the national heart.
He became the hero, the idol Of more
than 70,000,000 people, and from that
moment to the present he has not omitted
or committed one act, the omission or
commission of which dimmed one ray of
his glory. He has maintained his mod
est composure even while the world unit

gut raised his flag over this fleet in Feb
ruary, 1862. The Mississippi was the
only side-wheeler of the lot Command
er Melancthon Smith was her captain
and Dewey was her first lieutenant.
Early in April the larger ships, the Mis-
sissippi among them, were unloaded and
hauled over the bar, and by the night of
the 23d the squadron was ready for the
business of running past the formidable
batteries of st. Philip and Jackson, ready
to conquer the Confederate feet beyond
and to press on to New Orleans.
Amid Smoke and Flame.
Farragut divided his ships into two di-
visions. Captain Theodorus Bailey had
command of that going first, and the
Mississippi was the third in his line.
Decks were whitewashed, no lights were
showing. and the night was inky black
save for the lurid red of an occasional
Confederate fire. The big ship, having
a speed of only eight knots, hugged the
shore to avoid the swift current. On, on
they steamed, slow, stately procession
that knew no check, until the flames of
the broadside guns leaped into the very
ports Of the batteries and the shot struck
in midair. So close were they that the
Cunners hurled curses at each other across
the narrow space of black water. On the
high bridge of the side-wheeler, in the
midst of belching smoke and flame, stood
Dewey, guiding the Mississippi as calmly
as though he were going up New York
bay OH a still afternoon in Indian sum-
mer. He was a perfect master Of him

Captain Smith asked anxiously and more

time came Y. X. Pangborn, now Maj. u.
X. Pangborn Of the Jersey City Journal.
The boys, quite exhilarated by the sue
cess they had had with former masters,
made bold stand, with young George
Dewey to the front and center. George
was at once called upon for examination,
but the spirit of mutiny being rife within
MIN, he declined to go. The teacher
thereupon seized the collar Of young Dew
ey with one hand and his whip with the
other; no quarter being cried, none was
given, and the lad got whipping the like
of which had never been served out in
that district. He was then told to 90
home, and Mr.. Pangborn went along, the
rest of the school trooping at his heels.
DR.. Dewey stood at his door, and sizing
up the situation dismissed the boys and
took George and the schoolmaster to his
study.
What is it, my son?' he asked.
In answer George stripped off his coat
and shirt and showed a back covered
with red stripes. The father perceiving
that George was still rebellous, asserted
that he would add to the punishment if
Mr. Pangborn had not given enough. The
hint was sufficient and George became
, dutiful.
George came to be an admirer of Mr..
Pangborn, and when afterward the lat
ter established a private academy at
johnson, VT, George followed him thith-
er by his own request.
\ Fighter at Annapolis.
At Is young Dewey went to the Nor
wich Military Academy, and it was while
there he conceived a taste for military
life and expressed a desire to go to An
napolis. At the age of IL ne entered
that institution in the class of '54.
At that time Dewey was a strong,
active boy of medium height, with flash
ing black eyes and shoulders beginning to
broaden. He could swim as one born to
the water and excelled in all outdoor en-
ercses. At Annapolis he found the line
sharply drawn between the Northern and
Southern boys and he proceeded prompt
ly TO get into trouble. He had a spirit
that would bear no insult and he was
singled out by the leader of the South
Northern faction for little excitement.
The Southerner was not disappointed.
George was far from resenting the term
Yankee; he thought that of dough
face" more opprobrious, and as the quar-
rel grew his enemy did not stop there.
SO one day coming out of the, mess hall
George waited for him and calmly knock
ed him down, getting the better of the
mix-up that followed. Some time after
ward he had an inkstand hurled at his
head in the reading room, which resulted
