THAT DEWEY scRApe.

II IA Just little strange that Admiral
Dewey. who during the months follow
ing the battle Of Manila Bay achieved
such . reputation ~ . diplomat and
statesman, and A. one with whom above
all others II was safe to leave the tangl-
ed affairs OF the Philippines, should make
his fret great and sad mistake In diplo-
macy when II came to dealing with the
Great American People.
For almost nineteen months Admiral
Dewey was the idolized hero OF Ameri-
ca--worshiped almost to the point Of
nausea; suddenly-pfr.-it IL almost I'm
possible to abuse him enough, and the
beat that his feeble defenders are able to
say for him IL that bis action Was we'll
meant but tsctless. And that seems 10
be the verdict OF the Great American
People.
Only little more than . year ago we
used TO read columns about the GOODNESS
Of Americans--how they always kept
their heads 10 times OF excitement and
danger, and for that reason the battle
would always 20 In their favor, and the
Auglo-Sa xon would rule the world, &C.,
&c. Funny reading that would have
made last week, along with some OF the
gunpowder stuff that was published re-
garding Dewey.
What was the troubleg Why, the
Great American People gave Dewey q
house, home-in Washington, paid for
By popular subscription. Dewey, under
the impression that II was his, decided Il
to his wife and she decided Il to his son,
4 life interest for both being retained
In this way the home 10 made TO serve Its
purpose, and provision Is made for III
descent in the Dewey family, without any
interest In II going to MIRA. Dewey or her
relatives, ~ II might II II remained In
the admiral's name. Unfortunately,
however, the first transfer-that to Mrs
Dewey-wss publicly announced with.
out any explanation or further state.
ment.
| And what q storm there was! The
Great American People who hsd pre-.
scented the home rose In their wrath
They fairly bubbled over, and the froth
and foam Of their bubbling swept over
the land. A dictionary Of billingsgate
was almost necessity for those who
read the daily papers the next day.
Dewey's name and picture were Kissed
In the theatres, until one would almost
think he was q traitor instead Of q hero,
When the matter was fully explained,
the excitement died . little, but mean.
while Admiral Dewey had learned what
= two-faced figure the American people
IL. BE had found thst the same throng
who hsd praised him to heaven we're jus,
as ready to curse him into the pit. And
1t hurt him-hurt him more than any.
thing In his military career.
1t 10 strange that the admiral had not
learned that that there is no such thing
as an absolute gift; that under our code
of ethics the makers OF the gift do not
relinquish their control OF It, but expect
TO dictate how 1t shall be used. The fact
ID not law Of natural morality, but q
matter Of education. Most people dis.
cover Il In sorrow at some period OF
their lives, but generally earlier than the
admiral did.
But the Great American People-those
calm, unexcitable Anglo-Saxons whose
steadfsstness ID TO dominate the world
faugh! one would think we were Q mob
Of crazy-headed Frenchmen.

WHITE RIBBON.

Sisters:
when you enlisted to fight flre-the
flre Of Intemperancc that threatens to
consume, and has already consumed the
homes Of the nation to q large extent
did IL occur to you that you had quite an
extensive connsgrxtion TO subduef Of
course you do not expect aid aud active
sympathy from tho government. You
must try and be thankful for "cordial
sympathy, stale, old cordial sympa-
thy, cut In alcohol.
No doubt it cheers and encourages
you wonderfully to have as temperance
fellows who enjoy the divine right TO
vote, sit on the fence and applaud your
efforts. OF course you cannot expect u
to lug water on election day when we
are rustling around to save the country
from the cold clutch OF the other party,
which would speedily cripple civilization
and set back the hands on the dial-plste
Of time, and all al the Offices with psrti-
sans Of type that would be menace to
the republic.
The fire alarm has struck, but there IL
lack OF activity In the department. The
machine blows wind like daisy, but It
doesn't squirt water worth cent. And
the flames leap higher and spread wider.
Rome burns and Nero hddles, 90 to
speak. The red lights Of deadly peril
fash hot In the face Of the sleeping ma
ton, and never witch of the eyelid.
But don't you be discouraged. Keep
sweet and hold your faith and your grip.
o, you will keep sweet al right, for you
were built that way. Pray that your
faith fail not. The God who made you
human and made you woman is with you
In this fight, and IL with you to the
finish. contend Il IL . frst-class COM
biuation-God and the women folks.

are doomed. But doubt II they fall BY
the footing Of rams horns and the beat.
| ing Of tOm-toms. Il wouldn't be at all
surprising II Pmshiis found on the di.
vine program this time.
When election day IL ~ much your
own as washing day, the days OF the a.
loon are numbered. When once you get
the devil on the run there will be such {
scratching OF gravel In getting out OF the
country back to hell A. will oil your
months with laughter and your tongues
with singing. II you do not expect you
