Tattered Heroes in Luzon.

The splendid manner in which the Amer
lean soldiers in Luzon are doing their work
should excite the heartiest admiration on
the part of the folks at hcme, excepting,
perhaps, the Atkinson contingent. The re-
ports Of the hardships suffered by Gen.
Lawtous men IN their chase Of Aguinaldo
show that the most forbidding difficulties
have not deferred the troops from their
advance. They have plunged into an I'M
known country. flooded by the extraordi-
nary rains. through dense jungies. far be
You'd their wagons and base Of supplies
Heat. dampness, cold. hunger and sickness
have not stayed them. The sick have viii
lingly taken their chances on the road
side. to await suCcor. The spirit Of the
army has been magnificent. Every man
seems to have been imbued with the reaH-
cation OF grim task to be speedily ac-
c0mpIshed.
Gen Lawton himself is a soldier Of estab-
lished reputation, a man of intrepid cour-
age and keen sagacity on the frontier,
whose experience i'm the Indian campaigns
has fitted him exceptionally for his present
assignment. He is the embodiment Of en-
ergy and determination. His men have
always had the greatest confidence in him,
| ana their present demonstration indicates
| thai he has carried this prestige into Luzon
amidst the strange surroundings Of a trop-
| zeal country.
| The full story Of this recently fnaugu-
| rated campaign in pursuit Of the TagaI
| rebel when finally told will stand alongside
| some of thu finest records OF American
arms. There has been a minimum of fight
| ing. There have been few opportunities for
personal heroi-m. The enemy has almost
always fed precipttately before the Amer
| lean advance. Here and there a man has
! fallen before a Tagal bullet, while many
/ others have succumbed to the Unwholesome
| carnations from the rain-soaked soil.
| But those JaJJered, scratched, emaciated,
| Drowned men are heroes all, from com

From tn. Brooklyn Eagle.


There is much talk, and none of it is
pleasant. concerning the transfer by Ad-
miral Dewey to his wife of the house pre-
scented to him by the people. For special
reasons that should be apparent, we care
not to take much part in this talk, but the
fact of it can be ignored by no newspaper
and evaded by no editor. There can be no
legal objection TO the transfer. The house
was the admirals to keep, to sell or to
give. His gift of 1t to his wife is within
the law and within his right, and carries
his own use and occupancy of il as COM
pcnsation to those who gave 1t to him. At
the same time, the act has in it a capacity
TO create surprise and furnishes an occa-
sion for that discussion which matters Of
taste inevitably provoke and Invariably
make impossible of settlement
The Eagle unaffectedly wishes the trans
fer had not been made. We should be I'M
affectedly pleased, should the report that it
has been made prove unfounded. should
the displacement of opinion, which the
transfer has produced. lead to the Fetrans-
fer of the house by the wifesto her honored
husband. An act of affection, frequent and
commendable under ordinary circum-
stances. has aroused criticism because the
circumstances We're far from ordinary.
The lady is woman OF fortune. The man
is not man of fortune. The house was
the peoples gift to the man, whose want
of fortune was almost as stimulating an
agency to the gift the supreme quality
of his public service and the admiration
that service won. Heroism is nobility! No
blesse oblge! The sequential fact may
have been lost sight of in an act which
| had it been later, had been less disturbing
and which, had the antecedents to it been
different, had been less liable to remarks
that seem nowhere reserved.
We can only hope that what, to-day
seems unfortunate may tomorrow, seem
tolerabfe and may soon prove capable Of
allowance, If not of commentator. by the
American public. To say that they are
pleased. to say that they are satisfied
| would be untrue. Not 10 say that they are
| dspleased and dissatisfied, though perhaps
| il is none Of their business, would he an
omission which would put upon feelins, a
severe strain and upon the sense of duty
we'll nigh a consciousness of neglect Sill
| the great admiral is a very human being
! The people may come TO see the human
| side of this transfer to the exclusion or to
| the reduction of the sides of it that stir
| questioning. wonder and regret And if a
/ hero, whose record for mistakes or errors
was a blank, has made only a single con-
| tribution to 1t, and that but an uxorious
| one, we must set against such an account
