SHIP FOR SHIP THE GREATEST.

Admiral Dewey says the greatest
strength of the American navy is found
in the intelligence of the men. To the
physical bravery of the best fighters in
The world they join the understanding
and intelligence to do things by them
selves The modern battleship is
great machine shop which requires
brains in its operation. The admiraPs
confidence based on his knowledge of
the American sailor leads him to the
assertion that If every officer on board
a United States battleship should be
slain in action the enlisted men could
and would fight the ship to victory.
Ship for ship, Dewey asserts, the Amer
lean navy is the greatest in the world.
The American sailor is type by him.

that all official responsibility rests with
their superiors. They speculate, theo-

listed men practically unofIicered.
Admiral Dewey is an optimist. He Is |
inclined to speak strongly failing |
usually condemned by superiors. His
slight touch of bombastry and his un-
flinching faith in everything American
are, however, the two qualities that en-
dear him TO the American common peo-
PIE as much as any other. Both Dewey
and his sailors have earned the right to
their supreme confidence in themselves
and in each other and while they may
not invariably speak softly they speak
with the authority of history when they
assert that man for man and ship for
ship the American navy is unequaled in
efficiency by any other on earth.

The Journal editorial announces de-
iberately and emphatically that the
attitude Of Senator Allison has under
gone no change" and proceeds to defend
the use of the 1896 platform this year
upon the ground that IL Allison was
consistent last year he is consistent this
year There is no longer much doubt
that the language of the st. Louis ma
tional platform,-"in its reasonable APP
plication it is just, fair and impartial,
equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monopoly. to sectional dis
elimination and individual favoritism,

clear beforehand that their harmony
performance will not include any such
specialties as Cammns sliding down
pole" or the mock burial of an Iowa
idea AS the ,F.-R. has suggested. the
phrase shelter to monopoly" will be
omitted, but it will be plainly stated
that the Iowa republican, idea of a pro-
tective tariff is of one that is, opposed
to domestic monopoly" How the pres
ent tariff is TO be regulated according
to this rule is a question of e1pediency.

not by reciprocity then, as Roosevelt

Some Interesting observations on
| One of Natures Wonders.
! The very fact that the waters Of
oceans are salty is wonder within it
self. That such is the case everybody
knows. but why? Rivers are not salt,
neither are some of the very largest
of inland seas. yet one school of scien-
lists will tell you that these same seas
Qakes) are the remains of what was
once universal ocean, that there was
once an upheaval Of the land and that
all the waters settled in basins except
that which drained off. II this is
fact, why are these lakes or seas now
fresh? Don't tell me, says an investi-
gator, that it is because they have been
evaporating through the long centuries
and that the vacancy has been sup
piled by fresh waters from rivers.
Great Salt lake is no less salty now
than it was 5000 years ago and prob
ably great deal more so.
The water of the Caribbean sea is
Tense compared with that Of the At
lantic in the vicinity Of the Cape Verde
islands, the proportion being eleven to
twenty-one. Why is this? 1t is GER
tai1lly a fact that they are both OF one
body of water. The variety Of saline
matter found in all sea water is univer-
sally the same. There is another fact
which should be mentioned while we

the way of a harmony platform tbs
Sioux City Journal appeared yesterday
with a lengthy editorial which reads
very much like an official interview CIV
en- out after a conference between Sen
ator Allison, the peacemaker, and Editor
Perkins, the temporary chairman elect
Knowing of the close communion now
existing between the senator and the
editor who is to preface the harmony
platform with harmony speech, the
public has promptly looked upon the
Journal as the official organ of the har-
n,ony leaders.
The editorial calls attention to the
fact that the convention result last year
was test upon factionalism rather
than upon principle" that, following
the convention, Secretary Shaw had
opened the campaign with his speech
at Morrisville, VT, in which he spoke
for the anti-Cummins wing of the party
in Iowa and that Senator Allison fol-
lowed with a speech at Mason City,
in which he attempted to give a con-
sentative republican expression to the
Iowa platform. 1t was in this speech
that Allison returned to the national
platform of 1895, upon which Mckinley
was elected and upon which the con-
gress of the D.ngley :aw was elected, to
find the best expression of the Iowa
idea" and because OF the fact that he
then turned to that platform it should
not be be SO surprising that acting in
the role of peacemaker, he should now
employ the language of 1896 for a re-
publican platform.
At Mason City the senator said:
81 wish to emphasize the clause de-
claring how the policy-the policy Of
protection-shall be applied in making
UP the tariff schedules wherein 1t de-
clared that in its reasonable applica-
ton 1t is just, fair and impartial, equal

shall it be SO made as to aid in the es-
tablishment of monopoly in our coun-
try: that in case of the first duties
should be increased, in the last they
should be reduced"
Continuing in defense of a platform
that was opposed to tariff schedules

said:
