The -'Reply to Hayne" was delivered

Col Hayne made an elaborate speech,

years Of discussion another idea had been
growing in the minds OF the people, the
idea that whatever the constitution had
been at the outset, in 1890 it had become
the charter of a nation. 1t was Webster

There stand our heroes, side by side
Admiral George Dewey, of Manila and
Admiral Winfield Scott Shley, of Santi-
agoi The former, without envy or jeaI-
ousy, and fearless of the navy clique,
links arms with the latter, and tells the
country: tThis is my brother, the true
hero of Santiago. 1t was he who did at
Santiago what under God, ] was per-
mitted to do at Manila! Salute him.
Twas noble as it was just and it
makes Dewey a still greater hero
Utica Observer.
How petty all these criticisms of coal
ing and speed and other details seem III
the light of Dewey's clear-cut statement
of the main facts. What does it matter
how Schley got there. since he was there
when Cervera came out to be smashed,
and Schley smashed him?
Admiral Dewey's verdict will confirm
the idea of the American people that,
without any reflection upon Admiral
Sampson Sehley was the man that did
it, the man who won that tremendous
fight ON the glorious Sd of July, 1898.
And this decision will make Dewey him
self more than ever the hero of the
American People.-BoSton Post.
The attitude of Admiral Dewey in the
case was exactly what might have been
expected of one brave commander toward
another. The hero of Manila fully under
stands the obstacles in the way of an
army or a naval commander conforming
rigdly at all times to an ironclad set of
instruction issued from a locality remote
from the scene of the engagement. The
general who goes into battle and the adj
miral who commands a fleet must exer-
else his discretion under certain conditions
and emergencies. even though this policy
may cause him to be placed in the light
of disobeying orders.-KanSas City Star.
Admiral Dewey adds to his dissenting
opinion the significant fact that he holds
Admiral Schley the senior officer in abb
solute command on the Sd of July. The
latter question was studiousIy kept from
the court of inquiry, but as a matter OF
fact it WAS this that lay at the founda-
ton of the whole unhappy business. 1t
is therefore doubly significant that ADJ
mfral Dewey should go out of his way to
express this opinion.-Baltimore Herald.
At this moment there is not in the
United States of America bigger man
than Winfield Scott Schley. The things
intended to disgrace him have, in the
light of his record simply contributed
to his fame Tie organized effort to de-
stroy him will react upon the conspira-
tors The naval clique may form yerdicts
for courts of inquiry; they may write
':history'' through peanut politicians;
they may distribute prize money to the
undeserying and withhold 1T from these
who have earned it, but in the language
of Isador Rayner. they cannot strike

for a year or for a generation? They
are yiolative Of all the traditions of this

the settled constitutional landmarks of
a hundred years. They operate to pre-
pare the country and its people, if they

he G o b e has not opposed the ac-
QUESTION of the Philippines. It does not
oppose their retention. 1t does not even
believe in conceding to their people the
coequal political privileges which are be-
slowed on all the citizens of the United
States. But it does oppose their govern
ment being framed on the model of
British crown policy, and being in der
ogation of every constitutional Imita-
ton and guaranty which goes to the
foundation of American civil liberty.
1t would not confer citizenship on the
unframed and uneducated Filipino, any
more than on the Mahommedan slaves
and subjects of the sultan of Sulu whom
we have brought under our national
wing. But if there is any ground what
ever for continuing to refuse to place
the Philippines on the same political
basis which is occupied by Alaska and
every other American territory this pa
per acknowledges its ignorance of it.
The Gay of reckoning will come. The
American people are not run territory
mad. Nor have they discarded the recog-
nized political and social standards es-
tabl:shed by their constitution. They
are as true to Democracy today as their
fo.efathels ever were; and they will soon
er or later wake up from their present
political nightmare and rid themselves
of the trammels of imperialism with
which they are being held down by the
party to which Mr.. Stevens and Mr.
Heatwole owe their allegiance.

evidence CT desire or the part Of the
people Of the Twin Cities to come to-
gether which is made plain through the
conference Of the park officials of the
two cities held at the St. Paul CONNER
cial club an evening or so7ago.
Such a meeting as that is not only good
for the parks; it foretells the dying out
of the foolish prejudices of the past.
1t is but day or two since an outside
daily paper was quoted in our local press
as declaring that war between the two
cities had again broken out in connec-
ton with their respective park systems.
This shows the intensity of the feeling
which prevails that there can be no such
thing as cooperation in the advancement
Of the common good by the Two cities.
There Is more in this movement than
even the laudable end of establishing a

they can avert conflicts is manifest to

i MUCH NEEDED UNION.

The National Civic Federation has ac-
coraplished much since its organization.
1t is designed 10 promote harmonious re-
lations between the Representatives of
organized labor and amalgamated capital.
It's endeavors have been successful bel
cause those engaged most prominently in
the movement are broad men, meeting on
a common platform, and equally earnest
in the effort to find a solution of at least
the most serious difficulties attending the
existing industrial system.
= year ago the Civic Federation was in
session in Chicago. AT that time the sub
ject under consideration was that OF ar
duration, Enforced or compulsory arbi1
tration, as now found in operation in New
Zealand ana South Australia, was cham
pioned; and after the fullest and fairest
consideration OF it's merits was discarded
as being inappicable to social ana eco
nomic conditions in this country.
The meeting in New York has had a
broader basis OF action. It has been sue
cessful in actually bringing together the
leading representatives of the labor and
capitalist interest, together with num-
Der OF the best known men in civil life
and religious life, whose worldly inter
ests cannot be said to be distinctly ident-
fed with either Of the two great divisions
of Industrial society. It's work has APP
parenuy been Well done. The addresses
were generally acceptable. The spirit of
cooperation showed itself plainly enough
to leave no doubt that the real end IN
view of those taking part is to lessen the
friction between labor and capital in pro-
ductive enterprise.
Such action is absolutely necessary for
the social peace of the country. Nation
al prosperity is impossible without such
peace. The dangers which are making
themselves palmer each succeeding day,
and which are bound to break out in VIC
lence even during the present generation,
are the product of existing conditions
that can be cured only through agree
ment along the lines laid down by the
Civic Federation.
The committee of conference appointed
is a strong one from the point of view
nf every interest involved, public aae
private r h G o b does not look for
ward to much that is practical emanating
from that committee or even from the
united action OF the several interests and
divisions of American society which it
represents. But it does believe that the
foundation will be laid through it OF such
a policy of Cancellation and mutual un-
derstanding that the dangers which are
looming up portentously ON the social
horizon may be provided against at least
to some great extent.
If nothing were done more than has al
ready been accomplished through such
an aggregation of men coming together
and trying to reach 4 common basis Of
agreement there would be ample reason
for every friend of humanity and every
patriotic American to regard the event
with the deepest interest
