Election day, Nov. 7.
of
Hcpubllrans Interested In-tho nom
ination of a good county ticket Ws
fall should go to tho prlmnrles between
4 and 7 o'clock this evening, take tho
ballot offered, pick out tho best nams
on It and mark accordingly, regard
less of the yawplngs of politicians wl'h
axes to grind.
Mayor and Police.
-sr 1ST US consider, for a moment,
the Issue raised by the mayor
I of this city in insisting that
the members of the police
force must bo obedient not only to his
official orders but also to his Indi
vidual whims; that they must be per
sonally plenslng to him and In sym
pathy with nil his little factional Jeal
ousies and spites clso he will wield the
mighty axe of his high olllce and cut
their heads off without benellt of
clergy.
Wo are not going to ask our readers
to debate tho merits of the mayor's
proposition; we will even concede that
as politics goes ho is within the line of
occasional precedent in desiring to
make of the police employes of the city
a personal machine, implicitly obedient
to his minutest caprice. Hut
James Molr's entire capital In poll
tics for the past live years, and like
wise the chief stock in trade of the
faction behind him, has been ono long,
plnlntlvo and vociferous howl against
bosslsm." so-caVed; against the
"pernicious activity of the police in
politics"; against tho nlleged setting
up of one-man power. They have
posed as tho reforming prophets of tho
people; they have played to the gal
leries by pvery hook and trick of the
nrtful politician's game and now
Heboid the result! Molr Is no sooner
made mayor than nil hfs fine sounding
inaugural pledges are cast to the
winds and tho municipal "machine"
goes on just ns had been alleged of It
before, with the single exception that
the man nt the throttle seems hardly
big enough to handle the Job.
Governor Roosevelt has promptly
straightened out a tangle In the Dewey
land parade which promised to make
trouble. General Roe, chairman of
the parade committee, insisted Mint the
G. A. II. veterans should form In tho
rear of the procession, because they
do not carry arms. Governor Roose
velt insists that they shall march at
tho head of the procession because
they carried arms when arms were most
needed, and has Issued orders accord
ingly. As between Roe and Teddy wo
place our confidence In tho latter.
Fitness the Proper Test.
OUT IN Massachusetts a num
ber of enthusiasts have or
ganized for the purpose of
launching a presidential boom
for Major General Miles. Their circu
lars of information call attention to
his superior record ns a soldier, lay
emphasis upon tho alleged discrimina
tion of which he Is represented now to
be the victim and exhort all his admir
ers to rally In an effort to land him in
the presidential chair.
Without taking this effusion too seri
ously, It cannot bo amiss to point out
that whatever substantial elements of
truth there may be in tho assertion
that Miles has not lately received a
fair show, there is no conceivable con
nection "between that controveisy and
the question of Miles' lltness for tho
presidency. We do not elect presidents
In this country because wo want to
spite somebody, but because they Im
press a majority of our people as pos
sessing certain qualities or represent
ing certain policies and principles
thought to be advantageous to the
general welfare. As a military com
mander, General Miles Is an estab
lished quantity, conceded by all un
prejudiced experts to rank among tho
nblest of our professional warriors:
but thnt he Is also a statesman of ex
ceptional ability, information and ex
perience has, to our knowledge, nevir
been asserted and if asserted could
not be proved.
Tho spirit of these remarks applle3
equally to Admiral Dewey, whom soma
persons are still trying to connect with
a presidential nomination. It does not
detract from the high esteem In which
this eminent Amerlcnn is now so justly
held that his training nnd range of ex
perience and study have been almost
entirely In tho direction of his chosen
profession nnd not at all In directions
which would qualify him for the suc
cessful administration of tho varied
executive and advisory duties of tho
presidency of the United States. Wo
Pan easily believe from tho qualities
He has demonstrated that had his llfe
'work been performed In the field of
statccmanshlp Instead of upon the sen,
he would have become as successful In
civil life ns ho hag become In tho naval
servlco of his country. Hut there is
tjmely truth and ndmonltlon In his own
remark that he Is now too old a man
to attempt a change of professions.
Wo are opposed to tho unrollectlng
hero-worship which, In reckless kind
ness of emotional Intent, would try
tp fit round pegs Into square holes or
square pegs Into round holes, regard
less of tho feelings of oither pegs or
Holes or of the general consequences.
If ournomory of history 'is correot, not
ono of our purely military presidents
linn boon satisfactory or successful to
tho oxtent that wo Imvo a right to ex
pect from men occupying their exalted
olllce, and there Is no encouragement
from tho past toward a revival of tho
mistake of choosing presidents for ri
Hons separate from demonstrated fit
ness. Let Miles remain a soldier and
Dewey n sailor and let us keep In tho
ofllco of president for four years tnoro
the man who lias shown that In his
way, over a broader and an Infinitely
more dlllleult sphere of ilutlesj ami lu
sponslbllltles. ho Is nt least tho equal
of both If not, Indeed, their superior.
"lighting" Hilly Mason, who a few
months ago wns so anxious that tho
United States should declare war upon
some one, now claims to bo ashamed of
his country for lighting with tho
Filipinos. "Fighting" Hilly seems to
be nnother example of the warrior who
lost his title during the? Spanish war.

There are two kinds of news
papers and two schools of jour
nalism which are at right angles to
each other and one of them sooner or
later will have to go. Either tho con
scientious and intelligent Journal
which gives heed to its responsibilities
ns nn educational force in the com
munity must fall under tho general
ban occasioned by tho Irresponsible
and conscienceless scandal mongers of
the sensational press or the latter, by
force of public opinion and Jaw, must
bo cleaned out. Thero Is no middle
ground.' A decision of this Issue Is not
only necessary to the future of Ameri
can journalism but it Is essential to
the safety of tho Individual citizen,
whoso privacy is now completely at
tho mercy of tho inquisitorial busy
bodies or professional blackmailers and
cut-throats of tho obscene typo of
newspaper which mistakes scandal for
enterprise, abuse for brilliancy and
tho llnshy notoriety of tho pander for
permanent success.
Wo assert the Instability and the
prccnrlousness of the gutter typo
of journalism. Scandal, personal
abuse, furious demagoglsm and ap
peals to tho basest aspects of human
nature do undoubtedly succeed for a
tlmo in attracting considerable no
toriety and In creating a stir which the
unthinking mistake for success; but it
is a mushroom growth; there is noth
ing substantial to It; the llrst adverse
circumstance brings the whole puffy
structure tumbling down into hopeless
collapse; and all connected with it ac
quire the ineffncablo mark of moral
leprosy and dishonor.
It will now bo in order for the Span
ish government to pardon Admiral
Montljo who has been disgraced for

At the Nebraska Republican conven
tion in Omaha Thursday tho speech
that caused the greatest cheering was
delivered by Rev. Mr. Mallley, chap
lain of the Firs,. Nebraska regiment,
who in i espouse to repeated calls said:
"I am no politician, simply a preacher.
Frequently I am a dissenter In relig
ion as well as politics. I have voted
against the sentiment of whole com
munities. In fact, I never voted tho
Republican ticket. I nm against the
administration If it is wrong, but in
time of war, after our old flag has been
llred upon by an enemy whom we are
trying to save and civilize, then I am
for tho administration. 1 followed
the First Nebraska over the rice fields
of Luzon and shot the best I could
Now I have come homo to vote and
work the way I shot, for the admin
istration." There spoke a practical pa
triot. In tho appointment of Adelbert C.
Fanning, esq., of Troy, Pa., to 1111 the
judicial vacancy caused by the death
of Judge Peck, Governor Stone has
made a selection creditable to himself,
satisfactory to the people of the Fortv
second judicial district and fair to thi
bench of Pennsylvania. It Is in every
sense an admirable appointment.
Six veterans of the Tenth Pennsyl
vania have re-enlisted nnd will soon

WHAT DEWEY SAID
TO VON DIEDERICHS
THE
EXACT TRUTH OF
FAMOUS EPISODE.
THIS
Told tho German Admiral's Lieuten
ant That it tho Germans Wanted
War They Could Have It In Five
Minutes A Misunderstanding with
Prlnco Henry Which Was Subse
quently Cleared Up.
Chicago, Sept. 22. Under date of
Nice, Italy, Aug. 20, tho Hecord pub
lishes the following letter from Joseph
L. Stickney, the ex-naval olllccr and
war correspondent who Is coming homo
as Admiral Dewey's guest on the Olym-
pia:
Probably no other Incident connected
with Admiral Dewey's campaign In tho
Philippines has a greater amount of
Interest for Americans than has the
manner in which ho dealt with Vlce
Admlral von DIedcrlchs of tho Germnn
navy. Hearsay tales have been pub
lished without number, but they have
all lacked some of tho Important facts,
while many of them have been con
cocted with little reference to tho truth.
In order that the so-called "German
episode" may bo handed down correct
ly to the historian of the future I pre
sent the following sketch thereof as it
was given to mo on the deck of the
Olympia by Admiral Dewey himself.
Speaking of an enterprising biographer
who had written a condensed "life" of
tho admiral tho latter said:
ADMIRAL DEWEY'S VERSION.
"I received a biography of myself
yesterday from a publisher In tho
United States who wished to know
whether he had got the facts about my
life correctly. I couldn't afford to let
it go In the way It was written when I
received It. It misrepresented many
incidents particularly, for lnstance.my
experience with the Germans in Mn
nlla bay. You were there and know all
about what happened beforo the eyes
of every one. I was maintaining a
strict blockade of Manila and had to
know, of course, tho character and
Identity of. every vessel that entered
the bay. The fact that a ship flew the
German flag was no proof that she was
really a German. Consequently when
any craft came Into the bay or moved
about In it it was not only my right
but my duty to learn beyond question
whether she really was what she np
peared to be. In carrying out my or
ders my commanding officers acted dis
creetly and tactfully, giving no offense
to the naval representatives of any
power except Germany. I do not know
why Vlce-Admlral von DIedcrlchs
should have felt aggrieved. I always
attributed his protest to a lack of
knowledge of International law. This
view Is borne out by not only tho cir
cumstances of the case but by his note
to me, written after having received
the letter In which I defined my atti
tude toward the warships of other na
tions, as lie Informed me that ho should
lay my letter beforo the commanding
officers of other squadrons In the bay.
Ho got small comfort from nny of
them.
SUSTAINED HY ENGLISH CAPTAIN
"Captain Chichester, tho 'senior offi
cer present' of tho British navy, told
h'm that I was only only acting within
n." rights, but that I was entltlel to a
great deal more than I had required
from the foreign cruisers. As Von
Dlederlchs seemed Incredulous Chi
chester showed him the orders he had
received from tho Hrltlsh government.
In which he was specifically notified
that ho was to assume no rights of
entrance to ports under our blockade
unless I should bo willing to grant
them. Von DIedcrlchs wanted to talM
u copy of Chichester's instructions,
but the captain told him he had l?t
him see them for his personal Informa
tion only, nnd that he would not allow
them to be copied."
"Admiral, In the story about the Von
Diederlchs affair that I wrote for
Harper's Monthly last February.I gave
a hearsay account, told by ono who,
I believed, was in a position to know
the exact facts. I have since learned
that there were some inaccuracies In
that stovy? Are you willing to let me
publish the correct version?"
"You were mistaken." replied the ad
miral, "In saying thnt I sent Brumby
to convey my message. Admiral Von
Diederlchs sent his flag lieutenant to
roe with a list of complaints that ho
wished to make against tho war I
treat' d the ships under his command.
They had exhausted my patience. T
had been forbearing In tho extreme,
nnd this protest or complaint wns too
much. Tho German officer who
brought the message was on the after
deck, and when read It I stepped to
tho door of my cabin. He camo pait
way to meet mo and stood In tho door
way. As nearly as I can remember
my exact words were:
"What Is It you want? Do you wv.nt
war? You know what that means. If
you do. you can have It In five min
utes. Wo are a peaceable people, but
wo have got Into a fight now and wo
nro ready to go on. If necessary wo
nro ready to light tho world. You mav
tell Admiral Von Diederlchs that I am
blockading this bay, and that I shnll
tako such stops as are the right and
duty of the blockading ofiloer.
ABOUT SHANGHAI IUNQURT.
"Thro has been nlso," continued tho
ndmlr.il, "a good deal of sensatlonnl
talk about tho banquet given bv Prince
Henry of Prussia In Shnnghal. It hasi
been reported thnt T left tho table 1
rause no toast was offered tho presi
dent of tho T,nlted States and that
Prlnco Homy was obliged to Fond mo
a written apology. After tho toast to
tho emperor of Germany which, of
course, took precedence of ull other
toasts-- tho health of the czar of Russia,
was proposed by Prince Henry. Now,
tho Prussian navy was represented nt
tho banquet by two captains only. As
I was a commodore, commanding tho
Asiatic stntlon. I outranked those Rus
slan officers, and tho chief mnerlstrato
of rav country should have been toast
ed beforo their emperor. Tho provident
of tho United Stntes was Roasted and
alo tho omperor of China, although
there wero no Chinese guests present.
I snld nothing nt the tlmo, but there
after neither I nor my officers appeared
nt any of tho entertainments whoro
Prlnco Henry was present.
"Flnaly he noticed our absence, and
nsked why he had not seen more of
up. Tho gentleman to whom he spoke
told him thnt I could not run tho risk
of ii flmllar lack of courtesy toward the
president again, and that I was seri
ously offendof. Tim next morning
Prince Henry enme aboard tho Olym
pia In civilian clothes to call upon mo
for the purpose of expressing his re
grot nt the Incident. Tin snld ho had
made a mlstnlro through lack of knnwl-
J edge of naval etiquette, and that ha
hoped I would overlook It. I (told hlin
not to give tho matter another thought
and wo parted In the most friendly
manner, after nn Interesting and agree
able conversation. Thero Is no founda
tion whatever for the statement that
I have any unfriendly feeling for Prlnco
Henry or Vlce-Admlral von Dledrlchs.
For that reason the words recently put
In my mouth Implying n olur upon
Prlnco Henry and tho omperor of Ger
many vre specially distasteful to me.
I was talking without thought of being
reported, nnd therefore, I cannot recall
exactly what T did say, but I could not
have used language of that natnic,
since It did not represent my Ideas,"
WANTS TRUTH KNOWN.
Admiral Dewey does not hesitate to
exprcri privately opinions concerning
public questions of great importance,
but ho carefully refrains from speak
ing upon matters of International In
terest except upon due reflection. That
he should have given mo the forogolng
with no restrictions ngnlnst its publi
cation, Implies that ho feels that it Is
tlmo lo clear himself of th'o charge of
stirring up Ill-feeling between the
United States and Germany by utter
ing sneers at the German Imperial fam
ily. The Von Diederlchs Incident Is set
right, In Interest of truth, for tho bene
fit of future historians, and publica
tion of the exact facts nt this late day
can do no harm to any one.

I have a friend, in fact he is my brother-in-law, who is the outside
man for a New York crockery warehouse, a sort of salesman, purchas
ing agent, collector and what not. He used to suffer from a catarrh
of the stomach. When he woke in the morning there would be a
gripping, a contraction, a tightness of the stomach, which, he said,
seemed to be clogged with a slimy, phlegm-like substance. Carlsbad
salts always did him some good, but now he uses a Ripans Tabule. He
only takes one when occasion requires, just one now and then. When
this man, his name is Spalding, was asked to describe the effect of the
Tabule on him, he said : "Why, it brightens me up. It has an effect
like dry air; makes me feel something as I used to of a spring morning
when the air was crisp but tempered with sunshine. I don't know
bow they produce such an effect, but that is the way they work with me.,
