Dolce Of Dewey IS Dolce of People

There stand our heroes, side by side
Admiral George Dewey, of Manila di,l
Admiral Winfield Scott Shley, of Santi-
ago! The former, without envy or jeal-
ousy, and fearless of the navy clique,
links arms with the latter, and tells the
country: This is my brother the true
hero of Santiago! 1t was he who did at
Santiago what, under God, was per-
mitted to do at Manilai 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 in
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
rigidly at all times to an ironclad set OF
instruction issued from locality remote
from the scene of the engagement. The
general who goes into battle and the adj
miral who commands 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
miral 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 verdicts
for courts of inquiry; they may write
s1listory' through peanut politicians;
they may distribute prize money to the
undeserying and withhold 1t from those
who have earned it, but in the language

4 MICH NEEDED UNION.

The National Civic Federation has ac-
conplished much since its organization.
1t is designed to promote harmonious re-.
lations between the representatives of
organized labor and amalgamated capital.
It's endeavers have been. successful bel
cause those engaged most prominently in
the movement are broad men, meeting on
common platform, and equally earnest
in the effort to find a solution of at least
the most serious difficulties attending the
existing industrial system.
4 year ago the Civic Federation was in
session in Chicago. AT that time the sub
ject under consideration was that OF ar

consideration Of its merits was discarded
as being inapphcable to social ana eco

capitalist interest, together with a NUM-

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. Natioli-
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
