Hero Worship.

There have been hints from two or three
newspapers, which need not be ncticel by
name, that the country's tribute TO Ad-
miral Dewey was somewhat absurd.
sayoring of sycophancy; and that the
Admiral must not take it all too Sc
riously. because the psop.e would proba-
bly, forget all about him in a little while.
This comment is of a piece with variou
other comments inspired By pc itical p,aa-
ners, and it viii have but one effect either
on the Admiral or on the people Dewey
will join with his amused and contented
countrymen in one broad, genial smile at
the perturbed advisers who are wasting so
much thought on this joyful occasion.
The only kind OF hero worship which
can properly be called sycophancy is thai
which is lavished on an unworthy object
When a mean little one-ideaed man, who
never did anything worth mentioning in
his life except TO amass money by a lucky
chance in the development of civilization.
Is surrounded by smiling courtiers who
tell him that he is all that is noble and
good and wise and beautiful because he
can spend his days clipping coupons, that
is sycophancy. When a brave soldier is
foolish enough to think that he can do
things which he cannot, and is hoodwinked
by politicians into entering kind of strife
for which he is not fitted, and is led into
doubtful transactions by the very honesty
and faithfulness of his nature, there NAV
be sycophants somewhere in his vicinity.
But such cases have nothing in common
with that Of Admiral Dewey He tas
shown himself, in administration as in
warfare, wise, honest. we'll balanced, an
brave man, and he can be safely trusted I,
look after his own affairs even in the very
trying situation :n which he is at present
placed. He never moves in any natter
nnless he knows it viii do some good, and
is familiar with the circumstances under

goth brave and cautious he is not likely

As for hero-worship in itself being bad

NEW YORK, Oct 5.-Despite the fact
that all of the police force Of the city are
looking for the forty-fve biuejackets VINO
have deserted from the cruiser New Or
leans not one of them has been located.
1t is evident that the wholesale desertions
had been agreed upon before the vessel
reached port.
The order for the arrest was issued last
night by Acting Chief Of Police Westervelt
at the request of Lieutenant Commander
M. e. Hail. of the warship who offered a
reward of $40 each for the capture of the
tars
The warship arrived in New York Sun
day. and is now anchored off the foct OF
West Eightieth Street. For the last two
months she was stationed at Santo Do
mingo to look after American interests
there during the revolution. Upon tie
arrival of the New Orleans many OF the
men were given shore liberty. OF these
forty-fve have failed to return, but as
they were all in uniform when they left
the boat it was expected that the capture
of the majority of them would be easy.
While it is possible that the absence oi
few of these men is due TO drunkenness

THE DEMAND FOR SILVER COIN


Recommendation to Ee Made hy
Secretary Gage in His Report.
II is stated at the Treasury Department
that there is nc truth in the story that
Secretary Gage has asked the Attorney
General for legal opinion regarding the
authority of the Secretary of the Treas
ury to purchase silver bullion for the pur-
pose of increasing the subsidiary coin. I'm
der the law, only $50, 900 in fractional
silver money can be coined, and the
amount on hand is very low just now.
there being only a little over $4,000, coo
worth of such coin in the Treasury
The demand for fractional silver is con-
stantly increasing. Secretary Gage, in his
forthcoming. report to Congress, Will renew
his recommendation for authority to in
crease the coinage of subsidiary silver coin
to meet the public demand. The supply of
standard silver dollars in the Treasury is
also almost depleted; in fact the demand
from the West and South cannot be sup
piled. This will also be touched upon by
the Secretary in his annual report.

on the conditions of arbitration and an

The message is rot only evasive of the
facts and history of the South African con-
troyersy, but is absolutely impuGent in de-
manding that any future movement in the
interests OF peace shall be on the initiative
of Great Britain. Naturally anything OF
the kind is out OF the question, and Presi-
dent Kruger knows it SO well that even his
coarse and truculent Official diplomacy could
not go to such length.
We are at loss to understand the ab-
normal exhibitions of mutual disinsenu-
BUSINESS in the play between the imperial
Government and the Beers, except upon
the theory that one is playing for time,
while the other is delaying the final blow
in the hope that some European power may
intervene. AS to the final outcome uf the
situation there can be but one opinion.
In the interests of human progress and
liberty, England must suppress both the
South African Republic and the Orange
Free State. But. in the circumstances as
they appear today, we are afraid that this
can only be accomplished through cam
paign, certainly of blood, and possibly OF
