The insurrection in Luzon is breaking

The Atkinsons, the Godkins, the
Seizures and the Hears have secured
a passing notoriety by their so-called
anti-imperialistic propaganda, but their
work has meant the slaughter of scores
of American officers and soldiers
and a protraction of the insurrec-
ton against our ownership of the Phil
ippines for which the country viii yet
hold them responsible.
Before congress meets. it is probable
that the Philippine problem win be

insisted would be the case Sufficient
troops are in the islands now to ac-
complish this result. The Tagalos have
at last learned that it is not the inten-

islands over to loot and plumber. in

Peace and order in the Philippines

been from the outset the attitude of

dorsed by the Fifty-sixth congress

Gettysburg, there is hidden away in
the woods. a mile or two from the bat

Twenty-nine hands are employed in it,
and the weekly pay roll averages $500.
The value Of this years production will
be not far from S2O.OG0, an increase Of
30 per cent over that OF last year. The
relic factory was only built in 1895 The
production. the Germantown man says

ducts. There are, besides, in TIE finer

In order that there might be no ques-
ton Of dover or the rights of his VIE
10 the property, Admiral Dewey az
ranged to deed the property TO Mrs.
Dewey. she Immediately 10 deed to his
son. The news Of the first transfer
threw the yellow journals into hyster-
les. Dewey was denounced as an in
CRATE and under the thumb of his wife.
He was accused of splitting in the face
Of the grateful public who had con-
tributed a residence for the hero OF Ma
Mia only TO see it at once alienated.
The admiral was naturally furious at
what he denounced as an Interference
with his private business. In an au-
thorized interview he stated that the
transfer had been made in order that
after his death the gift of me nation
might remain in his name as the prop
erty of his namesake and son and he
added that mis- wife had arranged that
her large private fortune il addition
should pass at her death to the son OF
her husband.
Admiral Dewey is said 10 have given
cut this piece Of information with tears
in his eyes ard to have supplemented
it with the remark that if he had
known of the humiliation to which the
acceptance of his Washington house
would have made him subject he would
have declined it when rendered.
The admiral is naturally sensitive be-
cause he pays too much attention u
the scavengers Of journalism No one
whose opinion was worth having be-
Jieved for an instant that George
Dewey would fail in recognition of a
popular tribute or that his wife, herself
extremely wealthy. would profit pecu-
niariIy from The marriage. The an
nouncement that Mrs. Dewey has
arranged that Admiral Dewey $
son is to be her sole residuary heir
and that the home given to the admiral
by the people is to pass to his name
sake after his death is interesting as
an item Of news, but not essential to
confirm belief in the character Of
Dewey or his knowledge of what is
requisite for a gentleman in the cor
ditions which confronted him.

No state is more beautifully blesc
