have no doubt he isworthy. His office

A recent dispatch says "Our troops
in the Philippines are disabled with
small pox" In as much as every per.
son entering the military service is
vacinated as a protection against small
pox before leaving this country, why
are the soldiers down with small pox:
Perhaps some of the professional advo.

j. j. Hughes, of Fargo, is in the
city having accompanied his nephew
home, The nephew, son of j. r,
Hughes deceased, has just returned
from Manila and will go to Fargo
where we understand good position
awaits him. j. j. was post master for
four years during the reign of Grover
Cleveland, and made one of the most
ains-taking and acceptable officers
the city has ever had.
Admiral Dewey has life salary of
$13, 200 year. Yet the propensity for
penny donations is so great that the
Minneapolis Journal asks for penny
donations from children to buy Dewey
a watch, a new Illustration of the pro-
pensity to toady to greatness and
wealth. The widow who is struggling
to clothe, feed and educate her chill
dren is as much of hero as is Dewey,
and in much greater need of the
pennies of school children, Thus be-
lieying the PLAIN DEALER can't
enter its penny scheme.
We suppose it is too late to write of
the 4th of July celebration, butwe wish
to mention the speeches we listened
to if we are late about it. Instead of
one long grafton, the committee az.
ranged for four shorter addresses,
which were listened to with pleasure.
Geo. Chandler, Arthur McCook, b. N.
Hendricks and Rev. ]. c. Auringer
each spoke to the large audience a
short time. All the speeches were
fine and we are proud of the speakers.

Mr.. McCook will deliver his lecture,
Literature as an Educator" in the
opera house next Tuesday evening
under the auspices of the Cresco High
School.
The story comes to us that the
school children selling tickets to the
lecture of Mr. McCook, to be delivered
next Tuesday.evenings in the Opera
House, the entire proceeds going to
the library fund of the public school
of Cresco, were rudely treated, and
abused by people old enough to know
better. That lecture was prepared and
delivered in several places one year
ago, before intelligent and cultured
people, its topic, aLiterature as an
Educator" being entirely free from
any allusion to political questions
past, present or future, and command
ed the approval Of intelligent people
without distinction. Perhaps the re-
publicans Of this corner Of Howard
Howard county have forgotten their
attempt to stifie free speech some
years ago and it's disastrous results
to Mr.. Updegsaff and his defeat by l..
Weller, largely attributable to that
cause. Their present effort will give
Mr.. McCook vastly more votes in the
county than it can take from him in
Cresco. Intolerance is the poorest
weapon possible for votes.
