Deweyism.
Can the inconsistent attitude of Ad
miral Dewey in tho face ol his protesta
tion of admiration of and affection lor
rrejiJent McKinley, be explained by his
steppiog into (be political arena as a
doss i bio presidential nominee, than Im
pairing the strength of W.JJ. Bryan?
It reQUires skill and experience to suc
cessfully manipulate one of our coble
hattla sbiDB. cut of a different order from
that required to navigate the ship ol
state. The leader of each may be pre
eminent in his line. One requires sea
manship, the other statesmanship.
The grandest office now held by man,
ia that of president of the United States.
Not from autocratic or despotic power as
wielded by czar or emperor, bat because
be has been chosen by Lie fellow citi
zens, and Is, or ehould be, the exponent
of their individual eovereign will, pre
eminently fitted for the high position,
the ruler of a hundred million of people.
How careful then should we be in our se
lection of the man, letting no accident of
place or special achievement, however,
worthy, blind us to the necessity cf the
more important and ntcco?ary qualifica
tions.
When AQmiral LVey omej to him
self, when he is again the sensible, mod
est and noblo commander he was when
on the steps of the Ciy Hill in New
York, he received the plaudits of a mul
titude of his admiring countrymen, and
when the political misleading of the Mc
Leans and the Perry Belmont have lost
their charm, be can take advice and
comfort from the noble utterance of the
grand old sailors, Lawrence and Perry,
Don't give up the ship."

need not lose flesh in summer
if you use the proper means
to prevent it You think
you can't take SCOTT'S
EMULSION in hot weather,
but you can take it and di
gest it as well in summer as
in winter. It is not like the
plain cod-iivcr oil, which is
difficult to take at any time.
If you are losing flesh,
you are losing ground and
you need
I Scott's Emulsion I
and must have it to keep up
J. your flesh and strength. If 4j

' continue until you are thor
