Next to the dedication of the "Old Commander's" tomb at River side, the Dewey celebration will rank as the greatest in the hlsory of this greatest city in America. But it was not New York merely, nor England land, nor the East, nor any other sec Uun or geographical subdivision, but It was the whole country that welcomed Dewey's coming home In New York yesterday. Admiral Dewey Is the hero of all Americans. The Nation united to hon or htm. It did well to so honor him. for he Is well worthy of the Nation's honor. Ke is our hero three-fold. In one he is a man of remarkable phys ical daring and bravery. The account of the battle of Manila, published this morning in another column, will thrill ever reader. Future generations will read and be thrilled by the story of that battle until the end of time. The entering of Manila bay without hesitation was one of the most daring acta in history. It was that deed and awful daring that brought surprise and consternation to the Spanish forces and made victory possible. Delay or hesitation would have been dangerous i and perhaps disastrous. Admiral Dew ey is the hero of mind. It was not ' merely ship for ship and man for man, but the mind of Dewey against the mind of Montojo and the training and skill of trained minds behind the guns against the untrained and unskilled' minds of '.he Spanish officers and sail- ll' ors. It was an Attack admirably planned, and executed. Dewey had forseen the demoralization of the en emy's forces, and the way he directed the attack proclaimed him a hero of " mind. " And none the lees is he also of spirit the hero who stands for the right always and fights for-the right when ; ever necessary. ' In all Dewey's actions he has proclaimed himself to be pre eminently the man of mind, the man of force and the man of spirit. It Is to this kind of a hero that America hae given Its admiration and honor, and the honor of his triumphal entry was all the greater because it was all un sought and unthought of by him. It Is safe to say he was not thinking of his entrance to New York harbor when he entered Manila bay. May the Omnipotent power preserve this popular Idol from the corruption and seduction of the tricksters In his country's politics. THE DETRACTORS OF OTIS. It Is well known that the better class of democratic newspapers, with one exception The New York Post are unanimously supporting the president's Philippine policy. Unfortunately, the rational organization of that party is not now In the hands of men who are real democrats, and the unexpected re fusal of the better party newspapers to stand by the policy of non-expansionists and the plan of detraction mapped out by these leaders has car ried consternation among them. The whole conduct of the war has been flawless, though there has been a slight tendency In some quarters, both re- publican and democratic, to criticise the selection of Otis as supreme command er of the Philippine force. No sensi ble man blames the administration for such a mistake, even if it be a mistake and that la yet far from proven since no general In ail the American army had a finer record than Otis when he was tent to the Philippines. But this one possible vulnerable point In the Philippine policy has been eetied by the president's political opponents with the hope upon this, if upon no other, to hsng an excuse for fighting the ad ministration and the republican party which may enlist the sympathy of the better element of their leaders and newspapers. To this end. every effort is being directed to the discredit of Otis. How despicable the schemes and methods of these plotters are was shown up in good style by the San Francisco Chronicle some days ago. Referring to the return of the Montana troops, the Chronicle said: The Montana boys who arrived yes terday, should take warning of a po litical trap In which a few score of their comrades, belonging to regiments previously disembarked, have been cau Drevlously disembarked, have been caught and held. A concerted effort, directed by the democratic national committee, has been made by democrat ic and mugwump newspapers to get In coming soldiers to criticise the conduct of the svar in the Philippine and particularly the soldiership of General blwell S. Otis. Such criticisms, when made, have Invariably hurt the stand ing of the soldier. In that they have convicted him out of his own mouth of conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline. The democrat ic rational committee and Its news paper adjuncts care nothing for thla All they want is material for making attacks upon the administration, so that they may for It to withdraw Otis and give the credit of the sue ccssful Issue of the war thereafter to some one of their own favorites. Re- cen' experience has shown that young and thoughtless soldiers, given a chance of wide publicity for such views as they are willing to adapt to the policy of the democratic campaign managers, ar apt to say things which they do not mean, which are unjust and which cloud their title to the honorable dis charge from the servloe which will be almost their only trophy of the war. The Chronicle wishes particularly to wain these of the danger at hand. While In uniform and in the service thir views of the conduct of the war, n nether favorable or unfavorable. shculd not be given to the press or to politicians. After their discharge they may say what they feel that the sub ject warrants. We might add, by way of friendly warning, that members of ! recently arrived commands who ans wered questions In a way most favora I bly to their late commanders In the field, were delibvTtely misquoted In the democra-.ic and mugwump Journals, whorw representatives went to meet the Incoming transports with tugs. In stead of compliments, the Interviews carried curses. The only safety for the soldier, therefore. Is In an unbroken reticence when questioned by reporters about any of the topics related to the political issue of expansion. THE "ASTORIAN." The Telegram. The Astorian, under its new manage- : men' during the past few weeks, has been enlarged and much Improved in i its general and local news service, and for tjiat ruon has become a more val- uable, Important and Influential Insti tution in the city In which It Is pub lished. As a newspaper it now ranks among the best In Oregon. What is still better, the Astorian, un der Its new management, perceives the futility anJ folly of antagonizing Port land and the Columbia river and gives evidence of a desire and a determina tion to wake a strong, steady, honest pull for Astoria and the Lowvr Colum bia river region, and to' abandon the absurd theory that Astoria Is to be built up by Injuring Portland and the Columbia river. The Astorian, as a leading and In fluential dally paper of the state, en largo n and Improved, ar.d working on broad lines, can and will be a power for good In Astoria. Such a paper de serves success, deserves the approba tion cordial approval and substantial support of every business man In Its town. In saying this the Telegram Intends no invidious comparisons. As'.oria has other good local papers also; and at least cne of them his nev.-r been In sympathy with the anti-Portland, antl- rlver -crusade. The Astorian is especially mentioned because of Its marked Improvement In more ways than one since lt change! ot management, ana Because such a paper la or may be, as this paper now promises to be, a power in the region lr. which It dally speaks. The compliments of the Telegram are much appreciated, but our neighbor Is laboring under at least one slight mis understanding. There has been no change In the editorial management of the Astorian, and none Is contemplaU-d In the near future, so far aa that man agement Is at present Informed. But the Astorian will always be found, It Is hoped under any management, standing up for Astoria and the great state of Oregon. If the Telegram Infers that the Astorian has abated, or will abate, un der any management, one Jot or tittle of the rightful claim, In the lan guage of Its esteemed contemporary, the Oregonlan, that Astoria Is the "only seaport of Oregon." and that its recog nition as such by the 0. R A N. Co. and other member ot the transconti nental railway combine, will save the tradvrs and producers of the entire Co lumbian valley millions of dollar an nually on the reduction In ocean freights and the better price their commodities would bring when laid down at the sea coast In the first-class seaport ot As toria, then the Telegram I entirely mistaken. But this need not, and It doe not, detract on particle front the tratillcatioo the Astorian feels at the praise and evident good will of the Telegram. READ THIS BY A DEMOCRAT. Col. Watterson Addresses a Few Re mark to Gov. Altgeld. Louisville Courier-Journal. Amid the babel of tongue Into which the democratic party ha fallen, It Is not at all time easy for the stranger, who seeks hi way to find It. If Thom as Jefferson should come to life he would have first to ask the time ot day and then the shortest cut bark to where he came from: and even Andrew Jack son, aghast at the fantastic things to be seen and heard, might. In sheer help lessness, exclaim, "By the Eternal!" In his speech at Cooper Instltutute the othvr night Oov. AltgWd assured the audience that the new Declaration of Independence was In the Chicago plat form of lSJi. He said that for thirty ytars after the war the democracy "stood for practically the same things that the republican party stood for." That "It had become a mere conven ience of political and commercial man ipulators." and that "during these thir ty dark years It held out no inspira tion. It pointed out no great principle. It espoused no great cause. It made no heroic fight for anything." For thirty years, that Is from 1M to 1S9. the democratic party, according to Its self-elected Moses from Rotterdam, or at least from Don't-giv-er-dam. was a cowardly corruptlonlM. playing sec ond fiddle to the republicans. We had been of a different Impression. Somehow we had got it Into our head that the democratic party, under the head of Seymour and Tllden in the gen- eral fteU of national politics, and that' vi iiiuniiau a-iiu uuu ,v.. ana Been ana renuieiun u wi and Jtanlall and Lamar and Kerr and Gordon and Hill and McDonald. In con gress, had made a fairly good fight aeulni-t the radical scheme of re construction Dy which the constitu tion was to be brushed aside and a centralized despotism to be set up In room of the'old free union of the states. Again, we had the fancy, or conceit, or what you will, that the party, with Carlisle at Its head and such men as David A. Wells and Frank Hurd and William R. Morrison and Randolph Tucker and Roger Q. Mills, had rung a very clear note and struck a very brave blow .it monopoly through their fight In favor of a tariff for revenue only; and, although the fruit of their labor were lost to u by the broken promises of the Cleveland administra tion, criticism comes with poor grace from a person who, like Governor Altegeld. set aside the principle of tariff reform In order that a bargain might be struck with an organized body of free silver protectionist republicans.

We don't hare tiv We have the right between na tional conventions to plead for what ever changes of the party platform and policy we think beat.

Believing these thing, we still contin ue to fight on the general line of prtn Iple and policy they marked out. as far as they bear any relation to contem porary affairs. Copper Colored Splotches.
