Naples. According to the CORE
spondent Admiral Dewey began by
saying that he regarded Cavite as
the battle which decisively turned
the fortunes of war in favor of the
Americans. He added:
"The Spanish ships were fought
well all thu same
The correspondent asked him if
the Philippines were likely to be
pacifed soon.
The admiral replied: Il have the
question of the Philippines more at
heart than has any other American
because I know the Fllipinos init
mately and they know 1 am their
friend. The recent instruction is
the fruit of anarchy which has so
long reigned in the islands, but the
insurgents will have to submit them.
selves to the law after being accus.
toned to no law at all.
Il believe and affirm, nevertheless,
that the Philippine question will be
very shortly solved.
1.-The FIlipinos are capable of gov
erning themselves; they have all
qualifications for it. It is question
of time, but the only way to settle
the instruction and assure prosper
ity to the archipelago is to concede
self-government to the inhabitants
That would be solution of many
questions and would satisfy all,
especially the Filipinos, who believe
themselves worthy of 1t and are SO
II have never been in favor of
violence toward the Filipinos The
islands are at this moment blockaded
by fleet, and war reigns in the
interior This abnormal state of
things should cease.

According to my view, the con

VERY QUICK CHANGE
Croker SAID TO Have Feared John c.
Sheehan,

Sheehan.
New York, Aug. l7-Richard
Croker arrived at Long Branch last
evening. He went to the cottage OF
Senator Edward Murphy.
A political conference lasting
three hours was held by Mr. Croker
and Senator Murphy. 1t cleared
the atmosphere and showed why MIR
Croker Hoped to the standard Of
MIR. Bryan.
Senator Murphy made clear to
MIR. Croker three months ago that
to continue his fight against Bryan
would mean that John c. Sheehau
would be the accredited leader oil
the New York state democracy in q
year.
Senator Murphy has been an ad
mirer OF Bryan and is responsible
for Grokers sudden change on'na
tionsl issues.
Tbs fight as being waged by Shee
han against Croker's leadership was
discussed. The fact that the Shee
han forces have gained the support
of the Chicago platform democrats
was made plain to Croker by Sena
tor Murphy.
If Sheehan is defeated in his
fight against Croker and Continues
to hold the support of the Chicago
platform democrats he could carry
to the next democratic national con
vention contesting delegation wav-
ing the banner OF William Bryan.
Croker's continued opposition to
Bryan, it was pointed out would lead
to the unseating of his delegation
and the triumph OF Sheehan.
Croker wants to avert such dan
ger. He is preparing to pull the
props from under the Sheeban move
ment by showing how enthusiastic
he is for the denomination of Bryan.

A Capital Idea.

1t is stated that Secretary of War
Root is studying the Philippine
problem like legal case" This is
an excellent idea Mr.. Root is an
astute lawyer. Why doesn't he sue
Spain and require her to deliver the
Philippine goods in accordance with
the bill of sale, on which we paid
her S2O.OOO,OOO in good monsy?
Why not secure mandamus or
something of that sort to compel
Spain to make good her defective
title to the islands? Fighting under
Gen. Otis is a slow and costly pro-
cess.-N. Y. World.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION:
A RANK FAILURE.

If there is one branch of the exec
ative administration above another
that Mr. Mckinley ought to excel in,
it is the art of creating commissions
and appointing commissioners. He
has done more of this in his two
years of service than any of his
predecessors in full term. All of
these commissions have not turned
out TO the Presidents entire satisfac
lion. The "Em balmed Beef and
Filipino commissions might be
mentioned in that class. Whenever
q prominent republican shows an
inclination to kick over the Mckinley
traces, he is appointed on a commits.
sion and shipped out of the country.
This is usually successful, but a
Notable exception is that of ex-
PRESIDENT Harrison, who was sent
10 Europe on one of these numerous
commissions recently and in an
interview in the European press thus
hicks the Mckinley fat into the fire:
"The United States have no desire
fer war of conquest. Their attitude
ie limited outside of their own
boundaries to the safeguarding of
liberty. Our people are opposed to
new ventures. Ideas on colonization
have been attributed to us that are
not ours. America wishes to grow
by expansion of her commerce, by
exporting her products and not by
force of arms. Our true position is
30 guarantee the liberties of people,
but not to dictate their laws :"
Truly the commission of which
MIR. Harrison is chairman is a rank
failure in the eyes of the President.

Mckinley Democrats

The few democrats who favor the
murder of the Filipinos do 80 we
suppose on the ground that we
bought them from Spain for twenty
million dollars and that the bogus
deed gives this country the right to
wallop and kill niggers, and that the
latter have no rights which the
Americans ought to respect. There
is no pretense that any officer or sol
der is going to Manila to risk his
life or health from patriotism, but
purely for the money, or for natural
love of fighting, just as they would
enlist under the banner of the Sultan
of Turkey to kill off his Christian
subjects whom he designates as
"unbelieving dogs" We are thank
full that the leaders of democracy
whose principles are unquestioned
and every democratic state or mass
convention has 80 far denounced the

They Took a farmers Horse and Buggy
From the Rack.
| Clinton Democrat.
William Logan, living four miles
southeast of town, reported to Sher
iff Galloway at o'clock Tuesday
night that his horse and buggy had
been stolen from the rack.
When he missed bis animal, MIR.
Logan had done a little detective
work on his own hook and found
man who had seen the Cobbs, father
and two sons, driving horse
answering the description. Sheriff
Galloway knew that Bob Cobb, the
father, and Tom and Bill, his cons,
were camping out across Grand
River chopping wood on CarlisIe's
place. All were regarded as tough
citizens and Bill is said to have
served term in the penitentiary for
a burglary committed in Kansas
City.
The Sheriff with Constable Jones
and Mr. Logan started in search of
the Cobbs and spent several hours
searching for their camp. Finally
after midnight they found ia
structure of logs a feet high, about
as habitable as good sized pig pen.
The Cobbs were all three sound
asleep, with breaths smelling strong
with alcohol. Dir. Logan's horse
was tied near by and his buggy was
there.
When aroused from sleep and the
knowledge forced upon them that
they were under arrest for horse
stealing, they gave an exhibition of
profanity that was lurid and startl-
ing. Then when they got tired of
swearing they claimed they bought
the horse and buggy of horse
trader for SO
Witnesses will be forthcoming,
however, who saw the Cobbs take
the horse from the rack about dusk.
The oficsrs got their three pris.
oners to town before daylight and
they are in Jail awaiting trial.
