Tbe New York World Is making an el
fort to secure Dewey aa the nominee, lor
tbe Democratic party for piesident- It
will be In vain, for Bryan will be nomi
nated by acclamation The World's
position though is interesting aud we
give its argument :
The advantage to the couc try o! the
nomination of Admiral Dewey for Tresi
dent by the democratic parly is so great
as to outweigh any personal objection
which tie rare and quite heroic modesty
may seek lo interpose.
His candidacy would relieve the Pre
iieutial campaign of all the stress and
apprehension which ordinarily makes it
so distracting to the people end so dis
turbing to business. There would 'be
no personal rancor: Dewey has no one
mies. Taere would be no partisan bit
, nest : Dewey has never bee a a party
man. There would be no uncertainty:
fjewey'e election would be a foregone
conclusion.
The country would know beyond
doubt or peradventure that its honor
and its affairs at home and abroad would
be entirely safe in bis hands. His char
acter, which is as solid as bis tative
mountains, and his career, which at
very stage has added uew lustre to the
flag be loves, guarantee tbij.
To the Democratic party Admiral
Dwey's candidacy would mean certain
success something- that cannot be eaid
of any other man.
To the country it would mao peace
with justice, prosperity without inter
ruption, tbe firm execution of all laws, a
government by tbe best men.
JNOl since W ashington s day lias any
American bad tbe opportunity to do his
country a greater service than Dewey
can render it next year by causing a sus
pension of party strife and accepting the
Presidency as a simple pattiot under no
pledge save to duty, free from all obliga
tions except those of honor, bound to no
platform other than the constitution,
The Woil J does not believe that the

BMAgwttenDaod- great
activity in the Philippine islands, and
there are good reasons to believe that
the war will be pushed vigorously as i
necessity in connection with the caodi
dacy of President McKinley for reelec
tion. Regardless of this the American
people should stand by the government
in this war nntil it is ended and tbe
matter settled. This tbongh does not
prevent one from reasonable cnt.cism o
the measures nsed and the men em
ployed in the war.

of 3,0OO,(M, and that the government
will not exsueU that limit withrut au
thority from parliament, which will lie
asked to vote a uin not exceeding &
OOO.tOO.
In Cape Town the minion nrcvnlls
that the delay of tiie iloers in assuming
the offensive points to a willingness on
the part of the Transvaal government to
allow political counsel to override mill- j
tary ardor, and that there is, therefore,
still hope that the Afrikanders' efforts
for peace will prevail.

before reaching the green fields of Ore
gon :
For at least 1,400 miles straight away
(witb very trifling exception) we passed
through a primeval desert, in which it
would take a miracle of God to make a
tree grow, and in which, were a bird
turned loose, it would starve to deacb.
For many hundreds of miles we saw
nothins but rocks, sage-brush, grease-
weed and sand ;rocks, sage-brush, grease
weed and sand : rocks, sage-brush, grease-
weed and sand i ana tne neat and tue
dust were a sore affliction. It makes me
abudder to think of that trip. Never be
fore bave I taken a car ride to uncom
fortable so tedious.
