The letter from Mr. Frederick W. Seward
which we print in another column comes as a
timely sequel to tie promotion of George
Dewey 10 the full rank Of Admiral. The queS-
tlon in hand IS the pacihcation and control Of
the Philippines Citing Admiral Dewey's rcadi-
ness to take the lead in completing the task
which he 50 we'll begun snglc-handed last May

Mr. Stewards reference 10 similar conditions

reliance Of this Government for police duty in
that territory is placed upon It's boats. This IS
only another illustration Of thc fact which we
have often urged in these columns. that the

Mr.. Seward reminds us. we found no Alaskan
