don't know it. But with Mrs. Dewey il
is different. She is not so we'll known
generally. Accordingly an eastern pape,
has summarized Mrs. Dewey in a few
we'll chosen sentences, and this com.
pressed biography will serve the place OF
many columns. Here it is: ;.
She has given SO different sittings to
photographers. The day after the IN.
gagement was announced % negatives
were secured.
She has caused the photographers es-
Establishment to work night and day to
meet the demand for her pictures.
She owns the house occupied by Sec
rotary of War Alger when here, and
now occupied by Secretary Hitchcock.
She will continue to rent it.
She is a thorough politician, and it is
said, covets the position of first lady in
the land.
She said she did not want her pictures
IN any paper that was fighting her
brother in the contest for governor of
Ohio.
She stops when in New York, at the
Hotel Cambridge, T%hirty-third street
and Fifth avenue
She is described by the New York
press as mot exactly pretty, but mag
netic, vivacious, good-humored, and self
possessed"
She said the wedding would be very
simple. "My future plans" said she,
"will depend entirely upon Admiral
Dewey. He has done the shooting, and
must do the talking"
She rode under the Dewey arch in
New York and said: ut is splendid.
Small wonder that the admiral appre-
ciated it SO much"
She expended, according to the New
York Herald, over Sc, on her wedding
trousseau.
She said to an interviewer: "Now,
really, | mustn't talk. I'm just shop
ping. Going to the dressmaker's? Oh,
yes; a woman is always going there you
know"
She told a friend: "Admiral Dewey
maintains that he did nothing but his
uty-at Manila, I mean"
She l%aughingly said that the chorus
''There goes the bride-elect," reminded
her of comic opera, land this" she added,
while l am trying or hats and jackets
and selecting chiffons."
She is known for the originality of her
gowns, which are always artistic crea-
lions.
She attended a private school in Gin
cinnati until Ii years of age, when she
was sent to the Ursuline convent in
Brown county, Ohio, where she COM
pleted her education.
She says her favorite author is Shake
speare, and intimates say she reads
everything good published.
She is loved by children. Her nephew,
"Ned" Mclean, said when he heard of
the engagement: "Dewey's in great
luck"
She will be at home next Christmas
as the wife of Admiral Dewey at 1747
Rhode Island venue.

Emerging from the political battle of
November 7th with a blackeye, a split lip,
two or three cracked ribs and a badly
sprained lower jaw, Mr.. w. j. Bryan of
Nebraska proceeds to extract a remark
able amount of consolation from the
election returns. The interview which
Mr.. Bryan gave to the press from Lin
coin in which he analyses the situation
and finds vindication for himself and the
democratic party in the election returns
reminds us greatly of the statement
given out by Mr.. Thomas Sharkey after
the battle with Mr.. James J~effries, in
which the sailor pugilist emerged from
an arnica bath and the operations of half
a dozen anatomical architects who we're
patching HIM together, to remark that
"Jeffries was a big stiff who couldn't
fight a 3-year-old baby" Mr.. Bryan
says the results in Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts are of no significance.
Kentucky's election he finds purely neg
alive so far as republican success is con
cerned. what consolation can repub-
licans draw from the election in Ohio?"
he exclaims dramatically. As for the
result in South Dakota, that is "unim-
portant." But in Nebraska, there is
where we get an idea of the beating of
the public pulse, accordingt to Mr.. Bryan.
The returns in Nebraska prove that the
crime of '73 has not been forgotten, that
the great dragon of Lombard street is
still booked for decapitation, and that
the divine ratio of 16 to l must be re-
stored. "Taken all in ALL" says Mr..
Bryan, "the results of the election give
all encouragement to those who hope for
the overthrow of the republicans in the
campaign next year." Happy Mr.. Bryan!
What childlike faith and confidence!
What unlimited quantities of hot air he
is breathing into the democratic political
balloon in al endeavor to keep it out OF
the political ash barrel, whittier it has
been drifting ever since the election OF
1896.

CATION at Washington. Senator Nc
Cumber gets a kindly greeting from the
press correspondents, and the Washing
ington representative of the Dispatch
says:
Hon. P. j. McCumber, the new United
States senator from North Dakota, has
arrived in Washington for the winter.
He has rented a house neal Georgetown,
and expects his family next week. SEN
ator McCumber is of Scotch birth, and
his genial presence has already made
friends for him in Washington. He is a
fine looking man, of commanding stat
ure, smooth face and a ready speech.
"On my way to Washington" said
Senator McCumber 1.-The election news
was being discussed by everybody with
whom | came in contact. l heard a
great deal of talk about a victory for i'm
perialism and a blow to anti-imperialists.
l think it is nonsense to talk about n
imperial sentiment in this government.
There is a vast difference between the
words Imperialism and expansion.
Expansion in North Dakota" the SEN
ator proceeded to explain, "don't mean
imperialism, an immense standing
army. It mean development in trade
On the Pacific coast. We want, of course,
an army of sufficient strength for an i'm
portant nation. Our people, while they
may not be directly interested in a canal
between the oceans, as their trade will
be with the Pacific coast rather than
with the orient, nevertheless look upon
its construction as a matter of national
We want the war with the
Filipinos concluded and the islands al
lowed some form of government with a
degree of independence commensurate
with their capacity to assume it."
The senator's attention was called to
the outspoken stand of congressman from
the far west to embark on currency re-
in contrast with the timidity and
Indifference shown by not a few men
the eastern and middle states.
II have noted that difference he re-
piled, "but in the west we are not afraid
to face the question boldly. I do not
presume to speak of the sentiment in
congress, for l am a new man here, but
| believe there lisa strong inclination in
favor of gold standard legislation"

The political sentiment of the United
States at this time is %decisively repub-
lican. Any one a go over the list of
states and see that the republicans hold
more than in 1896. Three general cleo
tons have taken place since that year
and the net result is a strengthened re-
publican position. The four states
gained are Kansas, Washington, South
Dakota and Wyoming. Kentucky,
which divided it's electoral vote in 1896,
is more strongly republican now than it
was then. The single state regained by
the democrats is Maryland, and this was
managed only by a platform silent on
silver and the rest of the Chicago plat
form. Compared with 1886 the repub-
lican gain of electoral votes is twenty
two, the loss eight, This change would
make the electoral college stand repub-
lican 285, democratic 1852. It is as close
an estimate in actual figures as can be
made. These are accomplished facts.
Through three so-called off years the op.
position has done its utmost to turn the
political tide. But it runs more power,
fully than ever. The democratic party
itself has crumbled in attempting to de-
velop a weak spot in republican lines.

The anniversary edition of the Pioneer
Press, issued upon the completion of it's
ffftieth year in existence, is an excellent
one, and reflects the growth and develop
ment of the great northwest, in the up
building of which the Pioneer Press has
been a potent factor. The edition is a
splendid geographically, and is OF
great historical value. No paper in the
northwest is better known and better
liked than the old reliable Pioneer
Press. None has been more steadfast to
its convictions, truer to its patrons and
to the country in which it has lived and
thrived. May it complete with, equal
credit to itself and benefit to the north.
west another fifty years, and may its
prosperity continue.

The army in the Philippines is hot on
the trail of Aguinaldo the Slippery. A
day or two ago his secretary was cap
tured and now comes the report that the
official printing press, and sundry other
immediate personal and official appur-
tenances of the self. constituted sover.
eign of the islands have fallen into the
hands of the Americans. Deprived both
of secretary and printing press we do
not see how the instruction can long
survive.

The Filipinos have a new trinity which
is hailed with alteration and adulation
through the islands. It is a trinity of
greatness and patriotism that is product
i've of the most extravagant %eloquence
when its grandeur is extolled by the
followers of Aguinaldo. It is composed
of Bryan, Aguinaldo and another native
leader whose name we have mislaid, but
which is not vital for the purposes of
this article. 1t is a trinity that beats
anything of the kind ever before set out
to view. We have the assurance of the
Filipino army that it is composed of
three of tie grandest individuals that
ever breathed the free air or perspired
in the summer sunlight. Up to the
present time George Washington has
been the idol of the natives, but Bryan
has made the father of his country look
like fifteen cents worth of ice on the
back doorstep in the estimation of the
Tagals. The echoes of his remarkable
voice have ambled across the trackless
pathway of the Pacific and whispered
sweet music in the ears of Aguinaldo
and his followers. A recent Filipino
pronunciamento announces that the
three persons heretofore alluded to are
worthy of being placed side by side, in
point of greatness. MI. Bryan has GER
tainly achieved a remarkable popularity
on the other side of the water. And it
must be fattering JUNCTION to his soul to
know that he is stacked up as equal to
so great and self-sacrifcing q patriot as
he and his retinue of anti-imperialists
have pictured Aguinaldo to be.

We beg to extend to the state of South
Dakota an a%ffectionate sisterly greeting,
with congratulations. After weltering
about in populism for several years, it
appears from the election returns that
some light has broken in upon the state,
the bright and warm light of returning
re~publicanism. We do not feel that
Senator Pettigrew has gathered much
consolation from the returns. And it is
apparent that the mass of the people do
not blush for the administration and the
country to as great an extent as the
South Dakota statesman. As official
blusher, Senator Pettigrew is without
doubt a glittering success but the peo-
pie are not with him. Senator Petit
Crews finish is in plain sight, just a few
steps down the political road.

Nebraska is apparently determined
that the republicanism of the country
shall not be unanimous and accordingly
she has returned a fusion majority. The
returns from Nebraska are thickly
%whiskered and Mr.. Bryan feels doubtless
that he has delivered the administration
a terrific upper-cut, in his own state
anyway. The efforts of Mr.. Bryan in his
" state have been supreme. The great
volume of his voice has rolled resistless-
ly during the campaign from the center
all round to the sea. He has made
speeches by the dozen, by the score, and
by the hundred. His voice has sighed
through the corr t~assels, whispered to
the wheat fields, tossed the tangled
prairie grass and agitated the whiskers
of the entire commonwealth, and the
wind mills in the state have never be-
fore whirled so rapidly and increasingly
as in the campaign just closed. Mr..
Bryan's victory in Nebraska will proba-
bly, make him the presidential candidate
of the democratic party next year. In
that event, the gloom of u thousand
nights will be as the glaring light of
midday when contrasted with the dark
ness of the oblivion into which MI.
Bryan will be thrust by the sovereign
people of the United States.

ical, and yet it covers the ground to the
satisfaction Of any reasonable person.
Mr.. Allison says the islands became
ours by the exchange of notifications
Of the treaty with Spain. The insur-
rection began after the treaty was
signed, and the president in trying to
suppress it. The failure on his part
to do s % would subject him to the
severest censure Of congress and the
American people. With the restora-
ton of peace and order congress will
provide a government for the Filipinos
in the spirit of liberty, Justice. and
civilization, and there is no reason to
believe that it will not make such reg
ulations for them as are consistent
with "the largest measure Of liberty
possible for them, as well as the larg-
est local participation in the govern
ment consistent with the situation
there under our sovereignty and under
our flag" The only alternative to
this is the abandonment of the islands,
but the president has no power to
direct this, as he cannot ALLEVIATE ter
ritory acquired. Congress can do so
by law, and those who think we should
surrender what we have gained there
and withdraw our army and navy will
have an opportunity Of testing the
sense Of congress by offering PROPOSE
tons to that end" Reading between
the lines, it is easy to see what will he
the fate of any such proposition should
the anti-expansionists care to offer it.
The returns from Kentucky are the
most interesting of any received from
the elections Tuesday. Not so much
for the principle involved in the election,
or even because of the closeness of the
contest between the republicans and
but for their details of dead
and wounded, lending the election, as
do, all the interest of a battle. A
description of the election in that state
sounds much like a South African casu-
atty list. The stranger who happens
in Kentucky along about election
time would do we'll to travel in an
armored car. Election is the great feud
supply. When for any reason, such as
the killing off of those interested, the
stock of feuds in Kentucky runs low,
there is a holly contested election, and
the majority of the electors go back
home, each with a feud of his own. A
ripe feud is extremely fatal, and during
the coming year We may expect reports
casualties from the homing ground of
colonies that will put the Philippines
and South Africa to shame.

Henry Clews weekly trade review says:
The elections had little effect. Their re-
suits, however, were eminently salts
factory to those who believe sound
money and commercial expansion neces-
sary for the country's progress and pros
perity. OF course in the next national
election Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan
will again be rival candidates. That is
the natural consequence of Tuesdays
elections; but no sane individual has any
misgivings about the outcome. The adj
minlstration has already been well u.s.
tanned; continued prosperity will
strengthen its hold upon popular imagi-
nation; and the discomfort upon which
Mr.. Bryan's ~fallacies chiefly thrived is
now a thing of the past. Facts and cir
cumstances are against any serious re-
vival of Organism.
