Admiral Dewey Is now ranking adj
miral owing to the retirement OF
Rear Admiral Bunce, which took
place Il few days since on account OF
the age limit. 1t il more than likely
that congress, at the recommends
ton Of the president, will revive the
Office Of admiral in order to confer
the honor upon the hero Of Manila.
Surely the American people would
heartily sanction such action. Dewey
10 fast approaching the age Of retire
ment, and no honors Il grateful peo-
pie IA bestow can be given him too
soon.

Among the victims of la grippe is
the aged senator from Vermont. JUS
tin Morrill,, who died in Washington
on the 18th ult. He was first taken
with the prevailing disease, which
aiterward developed into pneumonia.
The aged statesman had served con
%tinuously in the senate for more than
thirty-one years, and would have
been 80 years old next April. His re-
mains were inferred at his home In
StratfOrd, VT, after appropriate fun.

country, which was a gross violation
Of both their letter and spirit. .Ief-
ferson himself owned slaves and vio-
lated these statements most eyre
giously.
But now that this country has
elected tn incorporate "a few islands
into our territory the phrase-mongers
are hurting about the charge that we
have not obtained the consent OF
the governed and impnting 1t as a
great crime TO those who favor this
nation reaping tn, fruits and results
Of war. The nation has disregarded
aud violated that ideal sentiment
from its infancy to the present day,
in ways too numerous to mention.
Jefferson violated it when he made
the Louisiana purchase. 1t was vio-
lated by the Florida purchase. 1t
was violated by the addition Of terri
tory obtained from Mexico. Also by
the Gadsden and Alaska purchases.
In not II Of these cases were the in
habitants of such acquired territory
consulted in any n whatso-
ever. Then why should this govern
ment change its policy in regard to
Porto Rico or the Philippines II
precedent is worth anything, every
thing in that line il in favor of the
nxpHnsionists. Besides, there are
many other violations OF this senti-
ment.
We have already mentioned the
slaves. How about those who are
deprived of a choice of government
that shall direct affairs In many
states. which require a property
qualification or an educational quail
iicntion before the right OF suffrage
can lie exercised? How about one
half Of the inhabitants composing the
female sex? How about minors,
criminals, lunatics and paupers? How
about the American Indians? How
il il In the territories and the Dis
trict of Columbia? What folly, then,
Ia sta,e that these ahorigines OF the
Philippines must be given the right
Il suffrage and be entitled to vote as
American citizens and must be con-
suited before this nation can take
charge of and govern them. Does
not this nation govern the Indians
without their consent, place them on
! reservations and compel them to
stay there? II 1t can do this with the
Indians, cannot it also prohibit the
Filipinus from straying from their
reservation and prohibit their emf
grafton to this country? II it should,
what becomes Of Mr.. Gompcrs' great
-carrcrow he set up the other day at
Kansas City? He seemed to think
they wonld swarm over into this
country, compete with our wage
earners and degrade our civilization.
This "is vanity and veXation OF
spirit " This government holds those
islands and will continue to hold
thcrr. IL will he for their welfare ~

Lewistown taxpayers pay about

slightest encouragement OF ultimate recovery. Az a last resort | tried
osteopathy. To me it's simplicity made it appear absurd. That gall stone,
asthma, rheumatism, constipation, and nervous prostration could becured
without drugs, was to me absurd, and suffered from all these ills. But
after the first treatment slept like a child, and after a few treatments 1
ate anything desired. My strength returned, pain abated, organs became
normal In their functions; then ! believed, then saw, cures, chronic and
acute, that appeared marvellous, cpresw which, IL performed by the orthodox
method of medicines, the journals would have abounded in applause. /

ELECTED BY A SOW.
How an Ancient English Borough
Chose a Mayor.

The candidates for the office of
Mayor of Leicester. an ancient Dor
ough of England, having assembled
were required to sit in semi-circle,
each with his hat full Of beans in his
lap, aud he was elected Mayor from
whose hat SOW ate first. Leicester
was frequently visited by several OF
the Kings of England and other illus
trious personages, chief among whom
NAV be mentioned Cardinal Wolsey,
who died within it's walls and was
buried in its church. A somewhat
similar election custom existed at
Grimsby, calf being substituted for
sow. The Eurgesses of Grlmsby
having chosen three of their number
as eligible for the position of Mayor
the thee were blindfolded, punches OF
OF hay tied at their backs, and then
conducted to the common pound,
where calf awaited their coming.
He whose bunch of hay was first
eaten by the calf Was pronounced
most worthy of the mayoralty and in
stalled in office accordingly.
