Those who are fortunate enough to be
able to observe the parade In New York
today may felioitate themselves upon
having witnessed a,pageant thas will be
long remembered as part Of the life-story
Of great admiral. Il may be too early
to determine exactly the rewards which
fame has in store for Admiral Dewey.
The dramatic element was so strong In
tie circumstances Of that dash on the
enemy at Manila as to ovsrshadow
calmer judgment as TO Its exact place as
q naval exploit. There are not wanting
t ose who believe that the destruction OF
the fleet at Santiago rebounds as much TO
the credit Of Sampson as does the battle
of Manila to the credit Of Dswey. 1his
does not lessen the achievement Of Dewey
in the least, however; and there is no
reHson to detraot from his popularity be-
cause unfortunate circumstances may be
rotbing Admiral Sampson Of credit just
ly due him. Dewey In the popular fesling
is the great hero IF the war; and II fame
in future shall raise another beside him,
1t will nevertheless not detract from the
honor Of his position.
The ceremonies OF today recall those
with which another Enplish speakin
people greeted great admiral a hundred
years ago. The. battle;of the. Nile resem bled
somewhat that at Manila. Nelson found
his foe at anchor In Aboukir Bay, as
Dewey found his at Cavits. Nelson
dashed upon the French as Dewey dashed
upon the Spaniards, although the condi-
lions of naval manoeuyres in those days,
when sails and not steam were the
motive power, rendered the conditions of
the battle much different. Both victories
were Of great Importance. Nelson aes-
troyed Napoleon's ambitious projects of
eastern conquest; Dewey tore from Spain
her last possessions in the Orient. When
Nelson cane back tn England after the
hattie of the Nile he was received as
enthusiastically as We receive Dewey to-
cay. In London he was Toasted by the
city, drawn by the populace from Lud-
gate Hill to Guildhall, and received the
thanks Of the Common Council for hi
great victory, and a gold-hilted sword
studded with diamonds. Less fortunate
than Admiral Dewey, he could not look
forward TO bearing his laurels into peace
full retirement. Ahead of him was Copen.

Ex-senator John j. Ingalls, has record
ed the prophecy that the monarch of the
twentieth century will be the merchant;
the destinies Of the world will be decided
In the counting house, not In the council
chamber of kings; the syndicate will
superssde the dynasty; history will be
written in ledger and on check books;
and government will be matter of bal
ance sheets and bookkeeping. This recalls
the remark of the statesman of France
who, several hundred years ago, as his
nation was emerging from the violence
of TAB middle ages. remarked that two
things would rule the world henceforth,
this (pointlng to his forehead), and this
tpointing to his pocket Brains and

The nomination Of MIR. Bates for the
lieutenant governorship OF Massachusetts,,
seems to be assured, although Mr.. Guilds
managers have not lost courage. Mr..
Guild was an officer In the war with
Spain, and did as good service as his
opportunities permitted. But his COM
petitor seems to have had some
qualities which appealed more strongly
to the Republican masses than did the
military glamor of his opponent. There
is really no more reason for putting mil.
itary man into a civil Office than there is
for putting politician Into military Of

HEAVY FIGHTING.

i succession of sharp and Sc
~ we're conflicts has been 60
4 \ ing on in the Philippines for
several days. The forces under
General Otis and his commanders
have made steady advances, routing
the Philippines from every position
they took with severe losses.
Our losses have been several hun
dred in killed and wounded; mostly
wounded.
Additional forces have reached
Manila amounting to about two
thousand fresh troops and the war
will be pushed to rapid termina-
ton.
Our own goth Kansas is at the
front and in the thickest of the fight
ing. They are making a great re
putation as fighting regiment. They
have lost a number of men killed
and wounded; two of the killed be-
ing from Garrett and one from In
dependence. So far the boys from
this county have been very fortunate,
none of them having been hit. We
have eight from this county in the
goth.
They were all anxious to see some
active war before they got back and
their wish is being abundantly gra-
titled, 1t is generally supposed that
the war cannot last much longer
from the vigorous manner in which
it is being pushed. Already there
are abundant signs of the speedy
disintegration of Aguinaldo's army.
One good crushing defeat of the
main body of his forces will about
settle the matter. Our forces are
concentrating around their capital,
driving the Insurgents in ahead of
them. When they capture this city
it would seem the Insurgents would
lose heart. Aguinaldo tries to con-
vey the impression to his followers
that all the battles are Insurgent
victories.

TRUSTS.

the Lawrence wire mill by tne
steel trust is ali evil that ShoulC
be mitigated by some law either now
on the statute books or some new
Regulation to control such aggrega-
tons of capital.
Men have right to invest theil
money in any kind of legitimate
business they may elect, and as
much or little of it as they may see
fit, but it does not seem right that
they should have the power by the
aggregation of vast capital, to force
smaller concerns out of business, to
the detrlment of the owners of that
business and the great loss to the
community in which the business
may be located. We believe in
honest fair competition in all bust
ness undertakings and do not be-
lieve in capital being used to crush
out legitimate enterprises because
their wares may come in competi-
ton with those of large con-
Germs.
We hope to see most stringent
law enacted in this line and to see
it rigidly enforced, The tendency
among our wealthy manufacturers
seems to be towards concentration
of capital and the organization of
gigantic trusts.
1t is argued by the advocates of
these schemes that by concentra-
ton of capital in given line they
can cheaper the manufacture and
distribution of manufactured pro-
ducts. This is In a great measure
true, but while they are doing this
they are throwing many laboring
men out of employment and destroy
ing many industries in localities
where they are the life of the COM
munity. The great question before
the American people at present is
not SO much the cheapening in price
of manufactured articles as it is to
employ and keep employed our ar
my of working men at living salar-
les.
1t may be that the necessary ex-
ira expense attendant upon running
a dozen factories in the same line
over three or four might increase
the cost of some manufactured ar
ticles to such an extent that it would
be difficult to compete on a foreign
market with the cheaper labor of the
old world, but suppose it should;
the home market is the one we should
look after first, as it is 95 per cent
of the whole thing.
If the organization of trust clos
es down a few factories and throws
out of work several hundred men,
thereby rendering them unable to
buy products in other lines and
should be enabled thereby to do
some foreign business, the injury it
has done to our home market more
than Offsets the benefit to the com
munity by slight increase in our
foreign trade.
These things can be regulated by
Just laws and the sooner it is done
the better for our country.
