1t has often been observed by those
who come from the mother country that
it is a great pity that no governmental
supervision is exercised over the keepers
Of saloons, to that they should be COM
PEELED to sell genuine and pure spirits.
We say then let the Government ap-
point inspectors. whose duty it shall be
to go into every saloon and test by sci
entifc methods the liquors that are sold
there.
1t is true that the Government has set
its seal of approval upon good whiskey.

Malt Wkiskey as a Medicine. but let 1t
also seek out and punish those who sell
poison under the name OF whiskey.

that which the Government says is all

DEWEY BROOKS NO INSULT

San Francisco, Dec 31-Frank Lom- bard, a San Francisco man, who has just returned from Manila, tells a good story concerning Admiral Dewey. He says:
 "In Cavite there are no docking fa- cilities. Vessels lie at anchcrsa and ne- tive freight beats called cascoes carry things to and from the shore. One of the native officials contracted with Dewey to carry stuff to the flagship. After performing his duty he dressed himself in the lat5st European fashion to visit the admiral, silk hat, white shirt, cravat, cuffs, etc. When he presented his bill Dewey remarked that there were numerous overcharse5 which he could not pay.
 the admiral was wrong and that he had agreed to the terms. Dewey po- litely replied that he would pay the original bill, nothing more. Mistaking the quiet, gentlemanly manner Of the admiral as an admission that the ad miral might be wrong, the freighter became insulting in his manner and insisted on payment With a slight movement of the hand the admiral re marked to the watch: Drop that man overboard!'

WE'RE THE PEOPLE
A Review of inc Accomplish mSnfS of the Ended Ye0r.
The Most important Thing in British Eyes is the Standing Given Eng fish Speaking Folks.

London, Dec. 31-The Spectator this week epitomized the reviews of the passing year, which fill 2ll of .todays newspapers, declaring that "The dom inant fact of 1898 has been the rise in position of the English speaking peo- ples." It describes how Europe has been amazed and irritated by the ex- pansion of America, though Europe has not dared to interfere.
 But the Spectator says: '"The powers are apprehensive that the change may compel a defensive coalition of the military powers of Europe" 1t also quoted one periodical as saying that waves of European contempt for Great Britain have been succeeded by respect compelled by the stiffening of the general policy of the English speaking races, which, ''disregarded in 1897, are in 1898, regarded as the poten- tial equals of the remainder of the world"

GERMAN SHIPS ROUGH TRIP
Winds and Seas Toss Vessel From

New York, Dec 31.-The German ship Union, seventy days from Ham burg, arrived yesterday, after a pecul- iarly hard voyage. Tt vas d.r grookedest voyage he ever made the skipper declared between puffs of his pipe, and the chart seemed to prove his words, for the ships course mark ed out there looked like the tracks Of a drunken man. Rags and grease in the lower held formed most Of the cargo. The tween decks section was nearly empty and the Union had an immense free board when she left Hamburg. The ship rolled like a b; g barrel in the seas.
 Ones in the Atlantic she began a rail fence course. The ship was near lS thirty miles south Of the banks cn Nov. 26, when a hurricane struck her. It was the same storm that caused havoc off the New Englandcoast and in the ensuing four days the Union crOsss- ed her own course three times and twice brought up at noon at the same point of latitude and longitude she had been the day bsfore.
 After zig-zagging until Dec. 22 the Union caught a fair wind that sent her on her course till she entered a big fcg bank. "Then we did some more fColing around as the captain put it. sE1e reached Sandy Hook yesterday morn ing and immediately secured pilot.
