ADMIRAL DEWEY.

Admiral Dewey is now aware of
the fact that a military or naval
hero is not always a political hero.
The Admiral, apparently envious
of President Mckinley, recently
announced that he was a candidate
for President. He did not state on
which ticket he would seek a nomina-
ton, and even limited that an indie
pendent ticket would suit him.
Later he announced that he was A
Democrat and would take the Dem
ocratic nomination. But Col.
Bryan of Nebraska, the political
colonel. has that nomination about
captured. and when Pennsylvania
Democrats, at their recent State
Convention, instructed for Bryan,
it was nail driven into the Admir-
ais political coffin. If he cannot
carry the east he cannot carry the
west.
The Admiral S wife was formerly
an Episcopalian. Several years
ago she attended Catholic services
at Washington, and listened to the
eloquent Bishop Keane. She Joined
the Catholic church as result of
the Bishops teachings. Now she
has renounced the Catholic church,
and again joined with the Epis-
copals. Mrs. Dewey is very am
bilious, and her move was un doubt
edly for political effect. It was
bad, because it will harm more than
benefit.
But despite the Admiral's bad
political judgment, and the shifts of
Mrs. Dewey, call love the Admiral.
He IS our great naval hero, and we
and our children will never forget
Dewey, Manila, and the s.glorious
first of May.

Although y firm advocate Of Tree
trade between the United States
and our adjacent territory Of Porto
Rico The GAZETTE believes that the
Republican representatives who OPP
posed the passage Of the amended
Porto Rican tariff bill committed a
great wrong.
The original bill was the one sent
into the Senate from the House. In
the Senate various amendments
were placed on it, and the bill went
back for the House concurrence
to the amendments. The amended
bill was passed by eight majority.
In case the amended bill had not
been passed by the house there was
no telling when another bill would
pass Congress, and in the meantime
Porto Rico would have remained in
poverty and her business would
have been at a standstill.
It would have been far worse to
have passed this tariff wrong than
to have compelled Cuba to remain
helpless and alone in the Atlantic.
Free trade to Porto Rico will come
just as sure as the votes of the
American people are cast at the the
polls next November.

[Mt Holy Herald. Gold Democrat.

IN the call for the election of delegates
70 the Republican state convention there is
cunningly devised Invitation to the Gold
Democrats TO join with the Republicans and
uphold the administration of Mr.. McKin-
ley. We doubt if this will have much eff
feet upon this important class of voters.
They are not particularly in love with Mr.
mckinley. Not so many years ago he was
playing fast and loose with the financial
question. and many classed him among the
Tree silver advocates. Actually be was
forced into taking stand. 1t was more
matter of policy with him than principle.
bis administration has not been free from
scandals and his recent straddling on the
Puerto Rlcan tariff question has lost him
many friends and shown that his back bone
Is very weak and needs stiffenlng. There
i nothing particularly attractive about the
man or his methods to the Gold Democrats,
and If the Kansas City Convention acts with
only ordinary Judgment and common sense
many Of the gold men will support its NOM
inees. The gold standard basis is now on
our statute books and will not soon be re-
pealed. The constitutional amendments
are in about as much danger of being re-
pealed as the new law which went into eff
fect on Wednesday. Any illumination
against it viii be useless. The Gold Dem
ocrats are not for Mckinley, not at all, and
the invitation to participate in eIecting
delegates for him is declined with thank.
