WHICH IS RIGHT:

WHICH IS RIGHT:
While the American people are en-
gagged in their grand demonstration in
honor of Admiral Dewey, and the civil
lied world, including Spain, recognizes
the appropriateness of the testimonial be-
slowed, it is worth while to direct special
attention to the comments of leading
journal of London, England, on the event.
The journal in question IS the st. James
Gazette What it says is to be COM
mended, at least to the extent that no
effort whatever is made to conceal the
ugly sheer at US which it contains
..Whatever the (American) nation,
which is totally unaccustomed to naval
victories over an alien race says the Ga
zette, may think of the battle of Manila,
the admiral who directed these very bus
iness-like and thorough operations can
have no illusion as to the cal1ber oil tie
foe who was unable to prevent him from
taking an Overwhelming advantage. Inc
New Workers were caught unprepared' as
Dewey is a smart officer"
Now. this is speech by inuendo.
Inuendo No. /: The Spaniards were taken
unprepared and at a tremendous disad-
vantage at Cavite, or else they might
not have been beaten, as Admiral Dewey
we'll knows Inuendo No 2: Americans
are utterly unused to winning naval vic
tories over alien races unlike us, the
British, who have whipped everything
alien in creation on the high seas), and
therefore they proceed TO make huge
laughing stock of themselves in celebrat-
ing, as they are doing in New York,
naval victory which was no victory at all
Inuendo No. 8: Dewey is Smart" but
nothing more.
Either the blooming Cockney editor is
ignorant Of certain performances OF
American seamen in the war against
England for American independence, and
in the war of 1872 to make that 1ndepend-
ence more secure, or else he is a true
votary Of the Anglo-Sa fad, and re-
fuses to admit that the British and Amer
lean are alien races. Or, may it not be
that We Americans are all wrong about
our winning naval victories over Eng
land in the wars mentioned, and that only
the Cockney editor aforesaid knows
American ard British naval history?
The C o b is unable to say which Of
these views offers the true explanation.
None of the news of the Venezuelan ar
bitration tribunal at Paris is censored.
Possibly that is the reason no one wants
to publish any of it.
1t was rather queer, though, that Fitz-
simmons, who has earned his living by
fighting from boyhood should be posed
for Peace" statue.
Chicago desires to present Admiral Dew
ey with the freedom of the city, but it Is
doubtful if Mr.. Guggenheimer will allow
him to accept it.
Judging from the tone of Republican
papers in Massachusetts the Democratic
nomination for governor has given their
editors a Paine.
A gale has destroyed 10o,0Ge bushels of
the Michigan apple crop. Gov. Pingree
was rot hurt. He's potato.
The Republicans could do a little worse
by making their national ticket Brother
Abner and Mark Hanna.
There are a number of other countries
aside from the United States for Billy
Mason to be ashamed Of
Dewey's record is somewhat marred by
the announcement that he was once whip
ped by his teacher.
Will Admiral Dewey ever break himself
of that habit of waking people up early
in the morning?
Somehow politics appears to have got
out OF Gov Pingree before PinSree got
out of politics.
The trouble with Toledo" Jones is that
he wants to hatch the millennium with
an incubator
Dom Paul took no part in the Hague
peace conference, and now see what a
fix he is in.
Com Paul is a great Bible reader, and
it is Elm stein with every text.
We lead, others follow; The newspaper
that publishes original jokes.
That ''Mr. Plaster of Paris play seems
to have been shot full of holes.
One Iowa farmer has gone crazy over
