From the Phila. North American.
The North Carolina Democrats have
given the Dewey candidacy another
blow. They have adopted a resolution
announcing: 1--WE admire the heroiSm
and ability with which William j.
Bryan has defended the principles of
the Democratic party, and hereby in
struct the delegation from this state to
the next national Democratic conyen-
tion to vote for his nomination as a can
didate for the presidency"
The Democrats of two representative
states-Pennsylvania in the North and
North Carolina in the South-have met
since Admiral Dewey announced his
willingness to accept the nomination,
and in each case his advances have been
ignored. Manfestly, the position of
regular Democratic nominee is hope
lessly beyond his reach. And yet Mr..
Perry Belmont and other Democrats
'of his class continue to speak of the
admiral as a probable candidate. They
must see as well as anybody that his
nomination by the regular Democratic
convention is out of the question. The
only reasonable explanation of their
attitude is that they expect Dewey to
repeat the Palmer and Buckner enter
prise, with the object OF beating Bryan
at the polls.
In fact the admiral has been quoted
as saying that he would be satisfied to
fail of election himself if he could only
insure Bryan's defeat. Naturally this.
if he really said it, would hardly endear
him particularly to the mass of Demo
Gratis.
But while some anti-Bryan Democrats
might be willing to sacrifice Admiral
Dewey to their revenge, it is scarcely
probable that, after cool reflection, he
will allow himself to be sacrificed. In
1896, when the Eastern Democratic re-
volt against Bryan was much more ex-
tensiye than it is now, Palmer and
Buckner could not have beaten the
ProhibitiOnist candidates if there had
been no Democrats or Republicans run
ming.
Admiral Dewey would hardly like to
have his vote recorded Scattering" in
the political almanacs. As an indepen-
dent candidate he would run far behind
the Popuist nominee, and could not
possibly expect to secure Il single elec
toral vote. When he once thoroughly
realizes this fact, Mr.. Belmont and the
rest of his dsnterested friends who are
less easy than it appears now to keep
his neck on the altar.

Colonel Sargent, brave and kind Off

trail with the infantry to the valley

the rice field directly in front of San
Mateo, and small detachment of in
fantry was placed on each to give a
cross fire on the trenches over the

the river was too deep to ford at this
point, and these troops were then
brought up to the firing line in 'front.'

General Lawton had twice walked
up and down the line, every inch of
his six feet four in that fatal yellow
coat exposed to the enemy's view, and
one after another his staff had asked
him to find safer place. Just before
starting down the line Lieutenant Col
onel Sargent had asked him to find
less exposed position, and at last Gen.
eral Lawton said that he would go
back bit in the rice field to more
sheltered place, but where he could
easily be found by his staff and the
officers commanding. AS the general
started for his point of safety Lieuten-
ant Breckenridge was shot through
the upper part of the right arm and
the back of his shoulder. AS he was
being carried off the field General
Lawton received his fatal wound.
Lieutenant Fuller, who was close by,
saw a bullet strike a pool of water,
and remarked to Captain King the pc
culiar angle at which the bullet
glanced downward Then ne heard the
general say, I'm shot through the

sistance. General Lawton stood for
few moments clenching his fists and
straining to hold himself upright, but
suddenly he lost control and fell over,
supported by Lieutenant Fuller.
DR.. Beasley, who was accompany
ing young Breckenridge off the field,
ran over to the generals aid and saw
at once that the wound was fatal. Cap
tain King, who had been with Gener-
al Lawton all the morning, bent over

ant Fullers arms. In a few seconds
he lay dead, shot above the heart

The Luck of Mayor Hart.

Mayor Thomas n. Hart of Boston
conducted his own campaign in a

peculiarly delicate. Normally, Boston
is Democratic, but at the December

first sign of a mistake or the utter.

its allegiance to the Democratic can

for a short campaign with few speech

boiling Democracy elected Mr. Hart.
When it was all over but the

with one of the Republican leaders,
said:
This campaign reminds me of the

NEW GRIM ES.
Mans Lawless Ingenuity Giving the
Courts Added Trouble.

Under the laws of the land as they
exist at the present the theft of
lamp is larceny; it may be a Roman
lamp or Greek lamp, an oil lamp or
an electric lamp. Whether it consti.
tutes grand larceny or petit larceny
will in certain states in the Union de-
pend not upon its age of newness, but
upon its market value. On the other
hand there is a great number of mod
ern crimes which could not have been
committed in ancient days because
the instruments for their perpetration
did not exist. They are the outcome of
modern civilization and they require
new legislation.
The tapping Of telegraph wire is
a modern form of highway robbery.
In the old days the method was to
waylay the courier on his road and to
rob him of his purse or of his mes
sage. The formula of the modern
highwayman is not STAND and delv-
err" but simmply Deliver" And he
may get a message from the lightning
courier which may be worth more to
him than well filled purse. But there
is nothing to be gained by indiscrimi-
nate tapping. 1t is some special mes
sage or information that the thief is
looking for, possibly for its effect on
the stock market or on other business
ventures, but the use of cipher codes
renders the tapping of telegraph
wires of little avail even in time of
war, unless the code, as well as the
message, has been stolen. For the tap
ping of power or light lines the mod.
ern highwayman comes in out of the
rain. He can do his business better
indoors by attacking the electric me-
ter, confusing it's calculations and
thus getting more current than he
pays for. Such at least seems to be
the implication of recent statutes.-

months before his death, declared that
all the Filipinos want is little justice.
That is what Mckinley & Co. are de-
termined they shall not have. The
war Is conducted for spoliation and
commercialism, and no considerations
of justice, consistency or decency are
sufficient to induce the administration
to call off its dogs of war. The people,
however. will have a chance to ex-
press themselves later on, unless Nc
Kinley backed by the trusts and Mark
Hanna, concludes that 1t is not safe
to trust such questions to the voice of

The United States supreme court did
the unexpected few days ago in af-
firming the constitutionality of the
Texas antitrust law. This is one of
the strongest antitrust measures ever
passed, and if enforced will drive the
Standard Oil company out of the state
and force other monster aggregations
of capital to abandon their purpose of
enforcing the consumer to pay what
ever tribute they may see fit to de-
mand for the necessaries of life. 1t is

count of their stand in favor of the

The New York legislature has been
wrestling with bill proposing to make
it unlawful for woman to wear hat
pin more than three inches in length.
Because a few worthless men have
been "stuck" with hat pins the New
York solons would come to the rescue
of their fellows in peril and forbid wo
men to wear them. If these statesmen
would pass an act making it an offense
punishable by Imprisonment for man
to carry, sell or manufacture pistol
they would show better sense than by
legislating against hat pins. 1t ought
to be a penitentiary offense to carry
weapon which nobody but villain
desires to use. The assertion that they
may be carried for self defense is sim
ply no reason at all. The best men of
the country never think of carrying
one of these villainous weapons and
they are in far less danger than those
who depend on beating the desperate
man at his own game. There are
hundred persons killed accidentally by
pistols for one who escapes bodily in
jury by their use. Good men have no
use for revolvers, and bad men should
not be permitted to use them. The
revolver should go.

Mr.. Mckinley, in his New York
speech, declared that there is no i'm
perlalism and that there can be none,
because those who have faith in the
republic are against it. The latter part
of his sentence is correct, but the first
clause is an indication that Mckinley
doesn't know imperialism when he
sees it. No public man ever attempted
to perpetrate a great wrong under its
proper name. 1t is always garbed in
something TO conceal its repulsive feat
ures. Mckinley may have some other
name of imperialism, but, like a rose,
under any other name it smells just
the same.
