THE VOYAGE OF THE DEWEY.

"Peace hath her victories no less
renowned than war"
Secretary Bonaparte has just COM
plimeEted the little squadron that
successfully towed the big dry dock
Dewey half way around the earth.
It was fine accomplishment. call
ing for Yankee skill and tactfu cour-
age.
The Dewey is a big, unwieldy mass.
weighing 10000 tons-an awkward
thing to manage in water. Unskillful
handling in a storm would result in
ruin to the towing and guiding yes.
sells. Dangers from all sorts of mis-
hars had to be taken into considera-
tion-dangers feebly realized by n
land 'ubber-when the chances for
success We're counted.
Commander Hosley and his men
managed the monster and towed it
without a mishap the 1900 miles.
The feat of the Oregon which. dur
ing the Spanish-American war. broke
the record in its run down the Paci-
fic coast. and around to Cuba, has been
much Eeralded. 1t was we'll done.
But the Oregon had no impediment
and was free to steam full ahead.
The phenomenal voyage of the
Dewey from the Virginian Capes to
the port of Olangapo is historic one,

THE EXEMPTION DECISION.

The Salem Journal says of the re-
cent decision of the supreme court on
the exemption clause of the assess
ment law;
our supreme court finds that the
contention of the New Hampshire
parties, that householder's exemp-
tion of $500 is unconstitutional. Is
right.
Tho legislature created the $500 ex-
emption, which is not enumerated in
the constitution among exemptions
which may be created by legislation.
This will throw millions of dollars
of property into the tax rolls and tax
thousands. of small property owners
who have hitherto escaped.
It viii relieve the owners of large
properties lust in proportion and
hence iH direct benefit TO the big
taxpayers.
Chances are some big taxpayers in
the state had the suit brought by n
nonresident to raise the question of
unequal taxation.
The constitution should be amended
to allow some exemption to the house
holder, as many people have nothing
but $50 to $500 worth of property in
the world, and should be given the
exemption.
There are too many exemptions en-
joyed by the people who have large
property interests to pretend that nc
exemptions should be allowed to the
little fellows.
AS wealth increases in the hands OF
one individual he is better able to dis
tribute and hide his holdings, while
what the poor man has is running al
| large and in plain sight.

WILLIAM Il. STEAD ON THE
THAW-WIIITE CASE.

William r. Stead. the noted English
reviewer, gives the following estimate
of the Stanford White murder:
Whatever may be said about the
killing of Stanford White by Harry
Thaw, one thing is very evident--the
case brings to light the corruption and
viciousness that prevails among the
American millionaire class today.
From what | am given to under
stand of the inner life of these people,
a state of affairs exists similar to that
which prevailed in the latter days of
the Roman empire. These people
seem plunged in vice and debauchery.
and are living utterly irresponsible
lives, thinking only of their own graft
fication, and following up their desires
even to the point of murder and assas-
snation.
1t seems as If millionaires, in their
diregards of tho~right of the common
people their display of fabulous
wealth, their lack of respect for the
decencies of existence. have reverted
to condition of life similar to that
which the wealthy classes displayed
just before the breaking out of the
French revolution.
Personally, | am quite prepared to
justify killing in certain situations. l
would like to see all those who prey
on female virtue summarily dealt with.
Homicide is justified in self-defense,
in the protection of helpless inno-
cence, and when due, as l have pointed d
out, to sudden and overwhelming pas
sional instinct
But, apart from these conditions, no
one has the right to take the law into
his own hands; unless, as l have said,
he is quite prepared to lay down his
| own life for that of his victim. like
Charlotte Corday did. or as the Rus
sian nihilists do today. If all men
were permitted to take life because
they consider their victims unfit to
| live, there is no telling where the mat
ter would end. We would have men
annihilatng each other merely for the
| qualification of a grudge.
For my own part, / am never sorry
| when | hear of the killing of men
who make it practice to prey on fe-
male virtue-especially seducers who
ruin young girls; and | think that ali
| civilized people agree with me in this
view. Every one justifies Virginius
for staying his daughter to save hel
from Appius Claudius, for there was
no redress i'm law; no one cavils at tn,
justice meted out to Tarquin; and II
modern times. when Lord Leitrim, the
Irish landlord who preyed on thu
wives and daughters of his tenants
was slain by one of the men on hi
farm. it was felt that the world wal
rid of monster.

MICHAEL DAyfTT.

Farewell, great rebel, all the glorious
ghosts
Or all who loved and died for Ireland
stand.
About your sepulchre, an angel band;
The great, whose names are blown
about the coasts
OF the worlds glory, and the noble
hosts
OF nameless martyrs for their Mother
land
Who gave green Erin heart and brain
and hand,
The captains and the soldiers at their
posts.
Rest brother, in content, whose NOR
tai eyes
Saw, ere they slept. the triumph half
achieved,
And freedom nearer on flowing tide;
For the long warfare wear the VIC
tors prize
No lovelier life for Ireland ever lived
No happier death for Ireland ever
died.

Prospective Situation.

ls - Oq uuuuESu anu lWSuIy-lFS Q6le-
gates are yet to be chosen. Governor
Cummins must secure $50 or six.sev.
enths of the remaining delegates in
order to have a bare majority, while
on the other hand the standpatters
need but AZ more to have the neces-
sary number of S21 delegates to con
troll. If they get fifth of the re-
naming delegates, the standpatters
win win. They have excellent
chances, however, of securing 204 OUT
of the 225 delegates yet to be chosen,
which almost makes certain the de-
feat Of Governor Cummins
IN the thirteen counties which have
yet to decide on the governorship,
Cummins had 153 delegates five years
ago. He must accordingly not only
hold every one of these votes, but
gain in addition % votes from the
stand pat counties. 1t is thus readily
apparent that ne Cummins machine
is now desperate and grasping at the
ty, which the governor had in 1901,
will be fatal to him. On the other
hand, the standpatters have but to get
AT out of the 225 delegates and with
the strenuous fight they are putting
up in every county they seem assured
of success.
Blackhawk, Allamakee and Marion
alone could give the standpatters more
than the necessary majority, or JAS
per, Poweshiek and Allamakee. Scott
and one other county would be suf1-
Client, but the standpatters feel conf
dent of at least ten out oil the re-
naming counties.
Standpatters Control Committees.
In addition to their being within AZ
delegates of having majority of the
convention delegates, the standpatters
have already secured control of ma
jority of the congressional districts,
which assures them majority on all
the convention committees and con.
troll of the next state central commit
tee. The victory in Muscatine coun,
ty gave the standpatters a majority
of the Second district, which makes
six out of the eleven districts mat
they have carried already, including
the First, Second, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth
and Ninth If Blackhawk and Blu
chanan are carried by the standpaJ-
tiers they will also have the Third dis
trict, making a total Of seven out OIL

Des Moines, Iowa, June 1.-THE vic.
tory in Muscatine county is the sever
est blow which the Cummins crowd
has received during the campaign
thus far. Twelve precincts outside
the city of Muscatine held their eau
cuses Saturday and selected 102 dele,
gates to the county convention, OF
which number all OF them were stand
patters. This leaves but fourteen
more to be selected outside of the
city and 1O6 in the city precincts.
The unanimity with which the coucus-
es went for Perkins is but an index
of what may be expected at the final
caucuses on Tuesday and indications
are that the county convention will
be about as johnson county was and
that the Cummins people will not
have look in.

minis victory in West Waterloo,
which was heralded as turning the
state upside down, has been more

sPINsTERs AND WIDOWS.
Are Made the Special Objects Of Pro-
vision of scituate, Massa-
chusetts, Fund.

A veritable "old maids paradise" IS
located in ScitUaso That ancient
South Shore town bears the distinc-
lion Of possessing a fund Of which the
proceeds are devoted to the care Of
dependent maiden women.
So far as the Scituate selectmen
know. says the Boston Globe, there is
not a life fund under the supervision
Of a town anywhere in the state
More than a quarter of a century ago
Miss Eliza Jenk.ns decided that wom-
en- approaching the sere and yellow
leaf OF life. who had, like herself, re-
NAMED single from choice OF other
WISE should be provided for when
they became dependent wholly ND n
themselves. The idea OF an old folks
home in Scituate was at that time EN-
tirely out of the question. Miss Jen-
kins straightway did the next best
thing and left a fuad Of $4,000, the in
terest OF which is yearly distribusea
among the worthy maidens Of the
town
The Jenkins fund has always been
n charge Of the selectmen. In the
last few years they have placed about
500 each in the hands Of half a dozen
persons. This odd fund has benefited
persons in Scituate for so many years
that the townspeople have come to re-
gard It as a very common institution:
il IS available only for natiye-born
women. and this is about the only re-
striction its donor made.
Many a person has been helped in
the last % years TO pay of mort
gsge. buy fuel for the winter months
or purchase seeds for the spring plant
ing through this fund. The select
men know pretty nearly every one
ID the town. and it is comparatively
easy for them to Discriminate between
the worthy and Unworthy.
Soon after Miss jenkins thoughtful
iy provided FOR the "old maids an
other maiden woman, Miss Lucy
Thomas. originated the idea Of a SINH
lar fund for widows. She left $1,000.
also under the czre Of the selectmen.
for natlve-born widows. Interest has
been drawn from this fund nearly as
many years as from the jenkins fund.
