DANGER IN HERO WORSHIP,

From various quarters Dewey is
still being urged for President. AL
though the Dewey movement is dis
couatenanced by the Administra-
ton, it is being pushed by many
Republicans more or less prominent.
Formerly Dewey disclaimed all in
tention Of going into politics, but
latterly he is not saying much.
As "a general thing, to convince a
man of his own importance is no
hard task. II Dewey could be con-
WINGED that the nation has need of
him aS President, and that he would
be sure to get the place, the patriot
ism which led him to do his duty so
nobly in Manila bay would lead him
to serve his country in another way.
The Presidency of the United States
is the most exalted place on earth,
AID a glorious object for an ambi-
tious man with confidence in his
powers.
No guarantee exists that Dewey
would make a good President. All
logical reasoning points to the con-
clusion that he would not. The de-
mands Of naval service draw heav-
i.y on the energy and ability of the
I'll eTs of that service; aud an Off

THE people of Columbia and the
press of other cities are enthusiastic
in their compliments of THE HER
AID for the manner in which it han
died the Conference proceedings.
Columbia has many such occasions
when a daily paper is almost an in
dispensable necessity; and upon all
such occasions THE DAILY HERALD
may be relied upon to meet the
emergency. The people of Column
bia and surrounding country know a
good thing when they see it, and in
consequence our Daily list is daily
growing larger.

matters not directly connected with
bis profession. In case of his cleo
ton to the Presidency he would be
compelled to rely upon advisers who,
with his meager experience with
politicians, might not all be wisely
selected.
Many persons will think it heresy
for anything to be said unfavorably
critcising Grant; yet every we'll
informed, honest-thinking person
knows that Grants administration
of the Presidency added nothing to
his fame. He was hoodwinked by
his confidential advisers, and some
of the gravest scandals in the history
of the government occurred during
his Presidency. Grant in peace was
kindly-disposed man and was ca
silly deceived by persons he favored :.
Yet so strong was the spirit of hero
worship, he would have been elected
a third time but for the whisky ring
and other scandals exposed near the
close of his second term.
1t is only right that Dewey should
be duly honored for his ability and
devotion to duty; but the office of
President of the United States is too
important to be given as a guerdon
to conqueror without surety of its
proper and beneficent administra-
ton

The silver mining interest is the

nearly all the imports into Mexico

native labor is constantly employed.
