There is no longer room to doubt
that Admiral Dewey is right with
the President in his policy towards
the Insurgents in the Philippines. He
is in favor of stamping out the insur-
rection at once, and believes that this
can be accomplished before the Now
Year. So anxious was he to show
that there is no difference between
his policy and that pursued by the
President. that he hus requested the
greatest publicity to he given to the
fact, that it was upon his recommen-
ments to the Aeiatic Squadron.

IN two years in time of peace, the

term, sold bonds aggregating $685.
100000, to meet the ordinary cxpen-
dltures of the government. The pre-
sent administration, with largely in
creased army and navy to provide
for, will show a net surplus of about
$2,O0O,0O0 for the quarter just closed

double the average Of the reserve

A Model School teacher.

Douglas county can truly claim to
have one of the foremost, if not the
foremost, age considered,s school teach
err in south Missouri in the person of
II. S. Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson went to Douglas county
when small boy, al orphan, with no
means except bright intellect, lofty
ambition and his two hands. He had
to trough it" when lad in knee
breeches, but tho experience thus
gained only served to the better arm
him for his future work.
An education was acquired unde r
difficulties, which to most young men
would have appeared insurmount-
able. Not so with young Wilson.
The greater the obstacle, the more
determined the effort. Finally by
dlnt of fortunate circumstance quick
ly taken advantage of, the young stu
dent entered school at Mt. Grove
under the prince of instructors, Prof.
w. II. Lynch, and it was then the
ability of the boy asserted itself. Ad-
vancement ard promotion followed
rapidly, until in two years the stu
dent not only Uutstrippcd his classes,
but had the pleasure of having The
learned professor take him by the
hand and say: Young man, l can do
no more for you; your future is in
your own and Gods hands"
Mr.. Wilson's first work in the
school room was in country district,
where to this day his one term is held
up as the standard for the many
teachers who followed. From the re-
mote country district advancement
was steady and in few years Mr.
Wilson was at the head Of the nor
NAL school at Ava, which he has built
up until il is easily recognized as the
leading institution OF this kind in this
section of the state.
Nothing il the way of educational
advancement was too high for the
school under his care to attain
Every interest of the student was
closely looked after. Nothing was
allowed to drag along. Vim and en-
ergy characterized every class and
school under his care. The student
seemed to imbibe from association to
great measure the energy of their
teacher.
| Douglas county quickly recognized
the genius of the young teacher, and
by the time Prof. Wilson was old
enough to cast his first vote he was
! elected superintendent ofthe country
schools aud through his labors thai
county was given great educational
prominence.
Every teachers meeting could al
ways count on his attendance and as
sistance, and he has been twice chosen
as president of the South Centra
Teachers Association, the strongest
aud most important educational or
ganization in the state of Missouri.
As in school affairs, SO in public
enterprises. Progressive, energetic
enthusiastic, modest, purity of pur
pose and character. a splendid type
Of manhood, a man of whom Douglal
county can well he proud, and al
honor to his state.-Mansfield Mail

Washington Letter.
(From our own Correspondent


The great matter of interest in
Washington during the past few
days has been the various attempts
which have been made to involve the
United States in some way in the dis
pute between Great Britain and the
rransvaal. At first the State Depart
ment officials were somewhat inclined
to resent the statement attributed to
Mr.. Pierce, Consul General of the
Orange Free State in New York,
that it was sympathy for England
that had caused President Mckinley
TO decline the request of President
Steyn of the Free State, that he use
his good offices with neutral nations
to avert war between Great Britain
and the Transvaal. 1t was intimated
that if Mr.. Pierce were of sufficient
Importance, official notice would have
been taken of the incorrect insinua-
ton, but the fact is that the request
was declined because this govern
ment was not asked by either of the
parties concerned. President Steyn
has the right to tender his own good
offices if he so wishes, but his right to
criticize other governments for not
doing SO is not recognized.
A very large number of requests
have been received by the President
from private persons supporting
each side of the controversy, asking
that the United States interfere, but
there is no probability that such &C
ton will be taken unless both Of the
disputing states request it. This is
due to the fact not only that it is con-
trary to the settled policy of the
United States to interfere in contro-
vcrsies that do not affect us directly,
but also to feeling that Great Brit
aims claim of suzerainty over the
Transvaal. which has been to some
extent recognized by the Beers them
selves, makes the dispute different
from one between two independent
states. The Transvaal according to
existing stipulations has no right to
foreign relations, except through
Great Britain, and technically, any
offer from the United States to medi-
ate might bo regarded rs interference
with Britain's domestic affairs. In
the same way we would have regard
ed the offer of any foreign power to
mediate between the Federal govern
ment and the Mormon authorities in
Utah, when for a time the latter
seemed disposed to deny equal rights
| to all American citizens.
Treasury officials are greatly pleas
ed with the handsome showing OF
the receipts, which now almost daily
exceed expectations. II is stated at
the Treasury however, that no recon-
mendation for the repeal of any por-
ton of the war taxes will be made by
the secretary in his report. Should
there be a large surplus at the end OF
the fiscal year, June 80, 1900, as seems
likely at the present time, Congress
might take some action at the sue
ceeding session.
Senator Aldrich, chairman of the
! Finance Committee OF the Senate
says that on the first day Of the forth.
coming session, the Senate Finance
bill will be introduced in the Senate
