On local stound.sespeclally the suec"-

pleasltiK news, lime It would confer
both distinction and power upon a top
leSelilllthe of local luteiests who has
nlwnys In the past wnrUed earnestly
and InlelllKeiilly In their bulmlt nn.l
who, as hpeaker, could without tin
piopilety aid lalfjely In their promo
tion. It Is announied that the .ntl-liiipci-lallst
League of Dillon "will call a
council to foi initiate an allei native for
unnexuiluii." it will In that contln
fjoney hae a capacious Job on Its
hands,
Fighting the Aimy.
It Is leported that a coalition of Dein-
oiiatic. roiuillt and Sllverlte sena
tots s UeliiK formed with a view' to
defcMlin,- any legislation designed to
strenmheti the ipgtilnr army. The
coalition, It Is added, will arsume the
position Hint the legulav aimy as ip
cruited at pipont up to the O.'.OOtl limit
.Is ample for all necessities and that to
reorganize und model nine the standing
airn tilonu the lines htiSReted by Hie
adinlulJti.itlon would be useless ct
tiavnjMiite as well as a "continual
menace to the peipettiity of fiee Insti
tutions," n phrase which Is very dear
to Ijcmociats and Populists when tulk
Iuk abotii Jieptibllean tmaures.
The hand of Mr Hi van la seen in this
moe. He asseils In an IntetMew that
he Is In .sympathy with the opposition
to ieKtllar aimy liuiease and he wants
the pisdont instead to sup a new
tall for soluiiteeis lor Karrlon dtity,
thus glvlns those olunteers at jires
eiit In the .service a chance to go or to
leturn home as they miKht elect. The
voluntiets i ontemplated by Mr. Ary
an's suggesllon would be mixed up
with regulars and ned to patch out
an aimy of occupation In each of the
new dependencies recruited in part
fiom native soldlei. Such an aimy
would possis oveiy element of speedy
disintegration with few ot the elements
of cohesion and clean-cut discipline.
1 Heirulars are what arc needed in Har
rison -eiviie: legulats s-eauoned to un.
MUistlonliig obedience: legulars who
will not, when off duty, so among the
natives and pick quauels with them or
o"Cpei t special consldoiation on account
of their unltonu. There are volunteer
who approach this standard of disci
pline and i onduct and th-ie me volun
reel p who do not. The kind who do
not ate hardly the kind to be sent as
evangels of better government to Isl
ands lent by revolution and famine
and Inhabited by njlen raies inclined
by nature to be suspicious of strangers
and exacting of foielgneis in authority
over Hit-in, and the best way to avoid
sending this kind Is to send regulars
only, letting those who would volun
tier take their places In the tegular
ranks
Besides, without legarrt to new colon
ial duties and lequlrements, the war
has taught very clearly that a larger
regular aimy Is a necessary insurance
against war. It we had had last spring
an in my such as. C.eneial Miles asks
for, thei'B would have been no war;
Spain would not have dated to ilsk
one.
"Cuba," i omplalns the Philadelphia

A Poser for Mr. Bryan,
Mr. llr all's theattieal declaration
agalu-t the holding of an alien people
"In vassalage" an accusation against
expansion which grows out of his Im
agination entliely Is clev,rl met by
the Washington Slur vvhlth says:
"Nothing lould be eleaier than that
the government that Cuba, Poito Rico
and the Phlllpplnts me to enjoy under
tip' Aineilcun tlug will be Infinitely
siipeilor to that which was provided
by Spain What Mr. Hryan calls vas
salage will In comparison with their
past condition be a blessing to Spain's
foimer stibjei ts. And as they Use In
the scale It is certain to be toward
gl eater blessings. Hut how ubout the
hlllidieds of thousands of disfranchised
voters In the southern statis, where
Mr. Hiytin's strength as h, political
lender centers'.' What Is their condi
tion" if a man may not vote for those
who mo to make tmd those who are
to execute the laws he must obey, and
to vvhli h both his life and his pioperty
mo subject, what Is he If not a vas
sul? Does the government, Mate or
national, derive any just powers from
him? Will Mr. Hi. van, now that the
question of expansion has stirred his
soul about vassalage, address himself
to the correction of this evil hero at
home'.' The men affected ate not aliens
or heathens. Nor are they nil negroes.
Jinny of them mo white men, and nil
are citizens of the United States and
entitled to vote under the broad pie
scrlptlorr of the constitution."
The reply of the young Moses of

It Is evident that roveriil vindications

Oosslp ut Washington Is to the effect
that the appointment of General
Ilrooke to the military governorship of
Cuba was In tho nature of it choice of
evils uither than a spontaneous aeleo-
tlon nn the score of roinninndlnK fit
ness. The best way for acnernl Hrooko
to belle this Utile tattle Is to prove
himself an administrator of the first
rank.
"Theip seems little doubt In my
mind." writes Mrs. H. Mao Haltan to
the New Yoik Sun, "Hint were lh

a fair one. Let discussion cloe mpan

NEWS AND COMMENT
AiUlhcrt M Dowey. ol Washington, 'Pi'
1 1 il agent of the I nlted ritntes depart
ment of labor arid a relative of the hero
of Manila, llguies It out that Adinltat
Uttwey Is dltectly descended lrom Alfred
the Great. He exhibits with pride the
Dewey ceiat of anas, which weie lound
among the mchlves of the British .Mus
eum ami me said to have belonged to
Simeon Dewey, who vas created u bar
onet of Stow Hill in lttft. The motto
"Corona Vonlet Delect Is" I Interpreted
to mean "Tho crown will tome to thope
deceiving It." There Is little doubt, he
says, that tho family originally came
irorn French Plunders to Kngland,
though theie are Dewcys In the Vnlted
Stites fiom England, Ireland, Denmark
and Norway. Among the American an
testois or the admiral was ltev. Jededlah
Dewey, who adjourned a. chinch seivlce
on Sunday morning, oiganlzlled his con
gregation Into a cnmpanv of volunteers
nnd helped whip the Hiltlsh at the battle
of Bennington. History tells us that nr
ter the battle was over, he led his com
pany back to the chinch and finished Hie
sermon, displaying by his net a coolness
not unlike that of George Dewey at Ma
nila, who took a leeess during the battlo
and served breakfast to his gallant crews.
Captain Hlllah Dewey, lhislgn Simeon
Dewey nnd Captain William Dewey, nit
immediate relatives of the admiral, were
very much in evident e during tho revo
lutionary war. No other one name "hlpps
rnoio lustrously on the pages of history
In that s-truggle for fieedom than the
name of Dewey,
Accoiding to Don Maximo Cortes, the
worth Filipino now in Washington, tin
better classes of the educated natives of
tho Philippines do r.ot want Independence!
but a sic hie colonial frrm of government.
He adds: "Peisonallv vve have nothing
against Auulnaldo. We do not regard
oiitselves as his enemies or Ids Intimate
or personal friends Agulnnhlo is himself
a p rum of kwer rank, who has little or
no education and no knowledge of ho.v
governmental afliilrs should be conducted
He Is a tieature of circumstances, having
placed himself nt the head ot a uvoht
tlonary movement at the time when Hie
people weie ripe for It, nnd in splto of
the fact that he once sold out to Span
luiels, he was nevertheless leceived Willi
open aims upon his leturn and placed
himself nt the frcnt in favor of levoUirnj
against Spain, width was popular with tho
people In this manner he pushed him
self to the he-nil of the revolutionary
movement. Hut his government the peo
ple cannot trust We. do not know what
he U going to do next, ills lieutenant
general Is a Chlnani m. with no education,
and Is scarce able to speak the Spanish
language, and this Is to a luige extent th
character of mm with whom he has &ur
lounded himself. Thtj nie not men of
standing In which the better classes t
the people can place confidence. We can
not tiusl tho government of so many mil
lions ot people to men of this class. What
we would preler Is to have the lilunds an
nexed to ihe ridted States und govt rued
by rhls country. '

Q
Every face at home, and every glance into
our inviting windows, suggests the question
"What shall I get or give for Christmas?"
The answer to the first depends upon the
love and liberality of your friends; the sec
ond upon your own means and generosity.
Let fate and friends look after the get, you
look after the give that's the part most
blessed. Remember that a little given with
love is more than much given because you
can. Our place is just now budding with
its wealth of solidified happiness.
