WHEN DEWEY
CONES HONE.

Did you ever see finer gentleman
than your Uncle George Dewey?
With the eyes of the world upon him,
and all the opportunity on earth to oc-
cupy the center of the stage, he has
remained the modest admirable gen.
tlemanf
Even with apotheosis in sight, he is
still content to be mortal. He re-
fuses to be smothered in laurel. And
amid all his trying positions your
Uncle George has never stopped over
once, not even once. He did his duty
as a man and hero, and he knows it..
His country holds him in grateful
idolatry, and he knows it-and now he
wants rest.
At this time your Uncle George
does not need praise half so much as he
does protection. After years of active
service, and months of arduous nerve
destroying strain that would have
given an ordinary man paresis-he
now begs for a little rest
But the great, thick-skinned mob
says, No! Receptions, the most be-
wildering and idiotic were planned
along his route. Rest? If running the
gauntlet through myriads of screech-
ing, bowling dervishes, means rest, he
will have plenty of it.
At Hong Kong, where thousands
turned out with bands and banners to
see this great man, he was obliged to
disappoint them. He even absented
himself from the Governors reception;
sent his regrets. then retired at dis
tance from the town, in the quiet inn
overlooking his beloved ocean.
Your Uncle George said he wanted
"rest," and he always means what he
says. He gave the people the cue then
and there, but did it appal the great
mob of rooters? Never. Not for a
moment. New York arranged to have
him present on certain date as a star
attraction and excursion boomer-they
would exhibit him as Barnum exhibit
ed jumbo and the managers thought
that your Uncle George would come

home under a double head of steam,
in order TO get himself looked at
Then hoping that the mob would have
enough sense to appreciate what he
he informed them that he would come
home leisurely, and would not reach
here until some time in October. But
still the excursion boomers were I'M
daunted; they made new arrange
ments. New York, with 100000 of its
people always in abject want and
many starving, appropriates $150,000
for the express purpose of attempting
to torture our hero to death. That is
exactly what it amounts to. What
would your Uncle George say to this
foolish expenditure? Take that
money and relieve your suffering
poor"
What he faced in Manila Bay will
be nothing to that New York disturb
ance. By comparison, May day in
Manila will have been as quiet as a
preachers poker party in a hay-loft.
The great mob will yell and scream
cannon will thunder-whistles screech
bands will blow-rockets explode
and crackers burst--it will seem that
perdition has opened wide its gates.
Pandemonium will reign supreme 1t
is said that Hearst of the Journal, who
is now temporarily running the coun-
try, will lead the Seventh Regiment in
the civic parade. He will also have
our Uncle George surrounded by a
hundred brass bands with double
headed bass drums-which will be
beaten by blacksmiths. 1t must be
understood that the more noise and
confusion the more patriotic the well

Is this destiny business a dodge

off it by an irresistible destiny :
This used to be a government by

The following from the Hard
wick Gazette applies equally to
every town in the State:
AS the time for town meeting
draws nearer we wish to go on
record as emphatically opposed
to the policy so often adopted of
electing this man or that to some
office or other simply because he
is a good fellow" That is all
right so far as it applies, but it
should not be regarded as the
sum total necessary to qualify
Tom Jones or James Smith to
serve his town in any public ca
pacity whatever. The town,
like an individual, will prosper
only when it's affairs are mar
aged on strictly sound business
principles, and this can be
brought about only by entrusting
the management of its business to
men who are capable of and will
ing to give such service. Is he
honest? Is he capable? Is he
the best man we have in town
for the place? are the questions
we should ask. If on top of these
qualities he is regarded a good
fellow so much the better. There
is no office to which the town
elects that is not an honorable
one. Hardwick needs and wants
her best men in official positions.

The First Fruits of Imperialism.

A short time since q mighty
nation moved bv the necessities
OF humanity, the last and remot-
est justification for national in
tervention, announced to Spain
that she must cease her barbar-
Gus control and oppression other
inferior colonies. In the name of
humanity this nation appealed
to the civilized world and put the
rectitude of her intentions in
pledge for her conduct of those
poor people who were being
starved and slaughtered. This
mighty nation said her only pur-
pose was to compeleverybody to
take their hands off those poor
people and leave them perfectly
free to form a goveroment for
themselves. 1t was simply a
war for humanity, not conquest,
not for acquisition.
Scarcely have these proclama-
lions died in the ears of the civil
lied world when those people
have been sold and bought and
their humane defenders land
owners now are knocking down
their bamboo villages and pur-
suing wild and terror stricken
barbarians with an indiscrimin-
ate slaughter without regard
to age, sex or condition. What
a glorious "destiny" has been re-
vealed to civilization, impelling it
to pursue and kill and slaughter
interiors with a barbarism re-
fined by it's own subtle elements
This is the prestige that military
valor is bringing to the country.
This is the military glory so
much coveted. This is rescuing
the poor and defenceless from a
fearful tyranny for the purpose
of securing to them peace, hap
piness and safety, and subjecting
them to more refined cruelties,
and more extensive than was
ever dreamed of, and more merci-
full only because quicker dis,

fruits of Imperialism; the begin.
