Little Doubt but inc Tremendous
 Strain is Telling on Dewey.

Washington, March 9.-When his at tentiOn was called to a statement from Vancouver, B. C., to the effect that Admiral Dewey is breaking down and cannot last a month longer, Secretary Long said he had no information whatever on this point.

MATAAFA, HERO AND REBEL.

Mataafa, the leader of the Samoan
rebellion, had fairly good claim on
the crown. which the chief justice
awarded TO Malietoa Tanu.
When old Malietoa Laupepa was
king, the Germans subjected hiR to
all manner of indignities, and, in 1884,
just fifteen years to a day before the
decision in favor Of the present king
was rendered. he was driven from his
residence at Sogf by the Germans. who
claimed to hold q mortgage on all the
crown property.
In January, 1895, out of resentment
because the American consul demand
ed some explanation of the German
consul, the latter assembled a lot Of
Germans and followers of a native
chief, Tamasese, whose province was
Leulumoenga, and with due ceremony
Tennessee was proclaimed king.
King MaIietoa could have crushed
the insurrection very easily at this
time. but was dissuaded from resort
ing to harsh measures by his English
and American advisors.

One CT the west side Sunday schools

until holiday week. 1t had been pre-

the first requisite was to raise the nee

the boys and the money.

goodness and innocence.

ITS REPERToRY.

Having exhausted it's repertoire of
comedy roles, including poses as pro-
tector OF Utah's honor savior of the
dominant church, apostle of free silver
and mentor Of the Democratic party,
the quasi-Republican organ takes a
new disguise and becomes solicitous
for the welfare of The Herald.
Just how genuine this sudden friend
ship is, need not be explained when
one remembers the preceding COM
edies.
The organs solicitude for the honor
of the state finds expression in the
bitterest calumnies, injurious to its
material interests and harmful beyond
recall to the standing Of the commu-
nifty at large.
AS the savior of the dominant
church it takes peculiar pains to
charge that organization with broken
faith, bad morals and Asiatic methods.
AS the pretended apostle of free sill
yer. it supports a goldbug candidate
on a gold platform, written by admin
istration office-holdsrs and approved by
national goldbug leaders.
AS the mentor of the Democratic
party, its only effort has been to SOW
dissension among Democrats, assaiI
the honesty of Democratic legislators
and attempt to dictate the election of
its own choice of Democratic sena-
to-:
In view of these facts, The Herald
may be pardoned for hoping no one
viii take the organ seriously in its
latest role.

ANECDOTES OF DINGLEY.

strong men give to stihed tears-crossed

in i'll meant to be entirely fair-but
it depicted him in colors as somber as
his public manner. His personality, ac-
cording TO my picture, was cold, intol-
Grant, unkindly. So much for what 1
then thought of him.
When l came back TO this congress
was suffering from an affliction of
the throat. Some one in the house rec
commended an old Dutch doctor here
who is Il specialist on throat diseases.
I found out Dingley was going to this
doctor for a similar affliction to mine.
I asked him about the DOCTOR and he
told me he had done him lot Of good.
SO 1 went TO him myself. In the office
I frequently met Governor Dingley,
both Of US choosing to go there in the
afternoon after the adjournment of
congress. He being the older and more
distinguished man I always gave way
to him. Through our meetings in this
way we got to be quite friendly; but 1t
was still a sort of formal friendliness.
Our old doctor demanded that his pa
tents remain in the office for at least
five minutes after his treatment, for the
reason that if they went out Immediate
ly they would be very liable to take
cold. One day when Governor Ding
ley and L met in the doctors Office a
