BURCHELL, 1325 F St DEWEY COMMENTS The Voice of the Press on the Admiral’s Candidacy. ee ALMOST UNANIMOUS DISAPPROVAL A Few Weak Voices Raised Praise of the Project in THE BLUNDER DEPLORED Parties and Heroes. From the Brooklyn Eagle. If either party wishes to drop its chief- tains of politics for our one naval hero, it n do so. But will it? If either party ks to bend that hero to its ideas, it can try. If either party stands ready to drop all its principles, as well as to retire all its political favorites, and to make the ingen- uous willingness of that hero to be Pres- ident its only platform and his career and character, wrought out in fields affected by no relation to statesmanship whatever, its sole investment in candidature, it can do so. If both parties desire to do this, both can do so. Whether either will or neither will be left to time, though the time is The admiral. neither a republican nor a democrat, but simply a Barkis among aspirants, is “willing.” It only remains for either party or for both or for neither to do or to omit to do the rest From the New York ‘Tribune. Admiral Dewey is neither the instrument of a party nor the exemplar of an idea. In that respect he differs from all predeces- sors. His position less resembles that of Jackson or Grant than—if the comparison with the incomparable may be allowed—the last_ mayor Long Island City, whose motto wa No party. No platform. Just Gleason!" The people woke up yesterday to find they had a new candidate for Pres- ident, and when they asked on what ticket he would run and what principles he would represent they found it was a case of “No party. No platform. Just Dewey.” An Antidote for Bryanism. From the New York Times, Admiral Dewey has done in an unconven- tional way an act that we think must be esteemed fortunate and of good augury. It is a thousand times better that the Amer- {ean people should be talking and thinking about the hero of the Manila fight than about W. J. Bryan. Besides, with the ad- miral in the field and Mr. Willett indus- rrats who once had great ave of late despaired of sav- arty from the calamity of an- n nomination, may pluck up 0 to work. “Bat!” From the New York World. But—always the pregnant BUT—where does Dewey stand? What is h> for? What is he against? And—most important of all— will Mr. Bry: who unquestionably con- trols the situation, and will continue to do so, step aside and induce the democratic party to accept him? Has not the admiral waited too long? The Over-Willing Admiral. From the New York Evening Post. There seems to be no doubt that Admiral Dewey wants to be President. The fact {s greatly to be regretted. His training has not qualified him for the responsibilities of the office, even if he were in the prime of life and the best physical condition, while his age and his health combine to render him unable to bear the terrible str The admiral’s willingness—over-willingn: it will seem to some—to be a candidat> will not cause the sensation now that such an announcement would have produced a year ago. His reputation for good sense and good taste then stood so high, his prestige was so great, and th? popular faith in his invincibility was so widespread that both McKinley “and Bryan might well have dreaded him as a competitor for the presi- dential nomination. But the admiral was a much greater figure on the Olympla In the harbor of Manila than he Is as a resi- dent Ina Washington house, and neither the politicians nor the people now attach anything like the importance to his opin- ions or wishes that they commanded before he came home. An Irretrievable Mistal From the Baltimore American. The signs of the times indicat3 the re- election of McKinley as certainly as they did in 1896, and the defeat of the democracy is almost a foregone conclusion. So certain is this that {t is extremely doubtful whether Admiral Dewey, even should he capture the nomination, could change the foreordained decree of the public. Should he, therefore, run and be defeated, the loss would be great. No man can go through a presiden- tial campaign and continue a national hero. The nation would, therefore, lose its hero, while Admiral Dewey would lose the ex- alted place he now occupi2s in the pub- lic's estefm. No man can obtain that de- gree of §reatness that makes his commis- sion of errors impossible, and unprejudiced judgment says very plainly that Admiral ones has committad an Irretrievable mis- ake. Will Not Cause a Ripple. From the New York Sun. Admiral Dewey cannot as yet be called a candidate for Pr ident. Whether he will make himself one by declaring his parti- sanship, or remain as he is, at the most a prominent spectator outside of the pale of nomination possibilities, whose sayings and doings, though always receiving notice, cannot cause a genuine ripple on the poll ical waters, is yet to be s3en. But, any- way, as a friend of Admiral Dewey, we are sorry for the episode. A Word of Encouragemen: From the Philadelphia Times. A very few weeks will determine the re- sult of the Dewey campaign for the presi- dency. He will either bring the democrats spontaneously and enthusiastically to his support and acccrrplsh his nomination without a serious contest, or he will ut- terly fail in the race. The announcement comes to the demccrats Jike a thunderbolt from an unclouded sky, and the only ques- tion is whether they have the vitality and courage necessary to make them accept the only open way for a hopeful contest against McKinley in the coming campaign. That Dewey would make a patriotic and faithful President will not be questioned, and the announcement of his candidacy gives the democrats the only opportunity to save themselves from another defeat that would Mean little less than annihilation. The Man Behind the Admiral. From the Philadelphia Press. If Admiral Dewey had but just now reached this country fresh in the fame he bad gained in the Pacific this announce- ment of his willingness to be a presidential fendidate would have had immediate and mmense consequences. But sever have happened since then, among west ae miral Dewey's marriage. ‘Should he now be nominated by any party the people could not help but distinguish close behind the admiral’s uniform the figure and influence of Brother John R. McLean. Popular Enthusiasm Not a Factor. From the Philadelphia Publle Ledger. Popular enthusiasm will have no s nor part in the selection of the presidentian candidates of this year; practical politics will control both conventions, and it will control it im such way as to render the renaming of the two contestants of 1896 as- sured. The democratic managers, the sagacious ones among them, at least, would, no doubt, be quite willing to shunt Mr. Bryan. He is the Old Man of the Sea to the de. mocracy, but he cannot be thrown off by them this year. He must be beaten again in his preposterous contention for a de- based currency to compel his party to get rid «gy him and his 16 to 1 folly. Just now Mr. Bryan is stronger than his party, and he-will make himself its candidate and be again defeated. The republican leaders are entirely satis- fied with President McKinley, and his re- nomination is already a foregone conclu- sion. | Neither Admiral Dewey, notwith- stant his great popularity, nor any other aspirant can at this late day prevent the convention making the President its candi- date. His nomination is, if not quite, al- most as certain te be aceomplished as is the sun to rise and set in June next over Phila- delphia. There is, indeed, at this time no opposition to President McKinley’s candi- dacy among those republicans who make presidential candidates. and, although there is, no doubt, individual! dissatisfaction with some of the acts and policies of his admin- istration, there is no organized popular op- Position to his renomination. It is wholly indiviaual, and without form or forceful- ness. No name but his has thus far been mentioned; he has really no competitor, and can have none, save, as we have said. in the event of a boliyicsy] revolution, than which nothing is mo: ikely. Too Late to Retreat. From the Phitade!phia Promptly on the surmise warranted by current indications that Admiral Dewey might be a candidate fol the presidency comes the public annohncement that he in- tends to enter the fielg, distinctly made by his own authority. With’évery sentiment of respect and without the least intention of giving offense, it may be said that Mr. and Mrs. Dewey of Washington city are before the public seeking the presidential nomination. From which-of the great na- tional parties they expect this honor to be extended them is not ag yet apparent. The time was, immediately after his return from Manila, when Admiral Dewey undoubtedly had a chance to carry the democratic party by storm, and he might have com- mitted the leaders of that party to his can- didacy in the same stampeding fashion that Bryan carried ‘the Chicago conven- tion. At that critical juncture the admiral distinctly, and, as he will find, irrevocably, set forth his refusal to receive the nomina- tion at the hands of the democracy. It is now too late to retract that refusal. What Dewey Would Do. From the Chicago Tribune. The substitution of Dewey for Bryan would give the repubtican party all it want- ed to do to win a victory. The former would make a poor President if elected. He would no doubt “execute the laws of Congress.” He wowld also-execute the will of a few men, and they objectionable men, who would have his confidence. No: Great Political Disturbance. From the Chicago Times-Herald. Dewey's conduct will provoke amazement, disappointment and sorrow on his personal account. We doubt, however, if the dis- turbance will be very great politically. No Party Specified. From the Chicago Chronicle. The admiral’s avowal of his desire to be President will fall to excite any great in- terest—much less enthusiasm. He does not specify the party to which he looks for a nomination. He cannot hope to supplant Mr. McKinley as the republican leader. Nor has he any ground for believing that the democrats will take him up. A Harmless Delusion, From the Chicago Evening Post. Dewey is not a candidate, whatever he may think about his political chances and prospects. His delusion is perfectly harm- less. Mrs. Dewey's Ambition, From the St. Paul Despatch. Back of the statement of Admiral Dewey that he will accept a presidential nomina- tion is plainly visible the rising tide of op- position to the nomination of Bryan and the reaffirmation of the Chicago’ convention platform. Probably behind it also is the ambition of Mrs, Dewey to become the first lady of the land. The admiral speaks just one year too late. An Imperfect Conception. From the St, Paul Journal, It is unfortunate that the admiral has such an imperfect conception of the presi- dential office. Dewey for the Free Traders. From the San Francisco Eyening Bulletin. The stand the administration has taken against the recognitian of Porto Rico and Philippines as entitled to free trade with the United States proper has insyp€red free trade republicans with a desire to place a man at the head of the republican ticket who has no record inconsistent with their doctrine. A more fit candidate than Dewey could not be found. Dewey Mast Expect Disappointment. From the San Francisco Call. His country will take Dewey's offer of himself with good hufnor, but he must not be disappointed {f that humor lack the eager enthusiasm whfch greeted him In his proper character a few months ago. A Dewey Organ In Ohio. From the Columbus (Ohio> Press-Post. The announcement that- Admiral Dewey will be a candidate clears the political at- mosphere for the democratic party. With no reflection upon Mr. Bryan it may truth- fully be sald that if Dewey Is nominated at Kansas City he will certainly be the next President—a certainty that does not appear from Mr. Bryan's candidacy, however great or popular he may be. The Press-Post w henceforth urge the nomination of Dewey for the sake of American principles and as the policy of the democratic party to pur- sue at this time. Tactics. From the Cincinnatt Commercial Tribune. The tactics of Dewey in politics have not been the tactics of Dewey in war. The re- sults will be equally diverse. Hopeless, Unwise Ambition. From the Kansas City Journal. At this late day Dewey's ambition is as hopeless as it is unwise. Homillating. From the Kansas City Star. That an American of Admiral Dewey's age and supposed intelligence should speak of the presidency as an easy place and its duties akin to that of a subordinate officer of the navy {s humiliating. Here’s a Boomer! From the Kansas City World. It only remains for Dewey to name the party with which he desires to affiliate. His choice of the republican banner would seal the doom of McKinley. Should he run as a democrat, Bryan would go on the shelf. And in either event, the election of Dewey would be overwhelming. Dewey Can't Beat Bryan. From the Omaha World-Herald. If it be true that some eastern democrats have arranged a scheme to boom Dewey in the hope of defeating Bryan, many of the admira}’s sincere friends will be extremely sorry. Admiral Dewey is a lion, but he will discover that William J. Bryan {s something of a lon himself. Bryan will be the demo- cratic nominee, and there is no man In the United States strong enough to put up a respectable contest against him, —____+e+___ THE TERRIBLE LYDDITH. Making the Shells and the Boers’ Opinion of Them. From the London Pall Mall Gazette. One of the war correspondents of the Cape papers discourses on lyddite. He has seen the effect of this wonderful explosive, and is much impressed. He says: “Lyddite isa form of picric acid, which has been melted, and allowed to solidify, thereby becoming denser. Melinite, recently introduced into the French army, !s,,gls0'another form of picric acid. The history of, picric acid is re- markable as illustrating liéw great discov- eries may result fromt'acdident. Picric acid was discovered in 177}, and for more than a century It was used.ag.a dye for silk, wool and leather without its explosive qual- itles being suspected.;;About 1889, however, a fire occurred at a chmmigal works in Man- chester and spread to afshed containing this acid. Being melted by the heat, the acid flowed until it came: imto contact with a quantity of lithargs.stored in the same building. A terrific explosion followed, and subsequently investigation {revealed the fact that under certain conditions picric acid be- haves as a very powebfut explosive. With regard to the manufacture, and the manner in which this body is:caudad to liberate its eaplosive power, puregapbplic acid is placed in a vessel with an equai amount of oil of vitriol (sulphuric aci@),.and the tempera- ture raised to the boiling point of water. Strong nitric acid is then allowed to flow Into the mixture, after ‘which the whole is ecoled, leaving a solid mass of yellow crystals within the vessel. The crystals are filtered and drained, and afterward washed with cold water, when the residue 1s pure picric acid. This is then melted by gentle heating, and poured into the interior of the shell to the amount required, and this on cooling becomes a solid, compact mass now known as lyddite. The inner Hn- ing of the shell is coated with clean tin, a precaution rendered necessary’ by experi- ence, and a knowledge of the properties of pleric acid. This body combines with oxides to form picrates, which are able to bring about its detonation, and hence, if ordinary Iron shells were used, any rust In the in- terior (which is oxide of iron) would thus tend to produce premature explosion, and render the sheli to handle.

BOOTH CO., Ithaca, N.Y. = detonating charge consists of a small quan- tty of lead picrate, which is placed tn the shell Immediately before firing, and which on impact produces a shock that brings the main charge Into action,” The following is part of a letter appearing in the Volksstem, In which a Boer named One Preller, writing from Gen. Botha’s laager outside Ladysmith, gives an account of the effect of 1: ite shells. The letter is written to Mr. F. J. Kleijhnaus, minister of mines in Pretoria “We are told by those who called them- selves our friends how unwise it would be for us to attempt to measure our strength against that of England, and were informed that the rocks behind which in other wars we had taken shelter would not serve us in this case, for the agencies which were to be employed would shower down upon usa hellish rain of devastating material which would scatter our rocky shelters like chaff before the wind. For hundreds of square yards around the spot where one of these death-dealing instruments fell nothing was to escape with life, the terrible lyddite was to perform with a certainty such a: had never before been known its mur. derous work. And all these terrors, which had been so assiduously preparing for us for years past, have, after all, not proved as terrible as we were led to expect. Our surprise on being asked by the prisoners om we had captured from the English, “What effect had the lyddite shells when they burst? cannot be described in words. We had found dum-dum bullets on the bat- tlefield, but that lyydite had been used we had never dreamed. On more careful in- vestigation we found, however, that there was something strange in connection with the greenish-yellow column of smoke which arose wherever the bombs fell and at once rose the cry,‘Take care, there is death in that smoke, poison there must be, or other- wise it were impossible for death to be spread for_a space of 400 yards arotmd. And such destruction must take place, be- cause the English themselves had said “We have been convinced. It was lyddite. It so happened that we had an, opportunit of seeing for ourselves the effect of lyd and that we were able to form some con- ception of the consequences of inhaling the deadly fumes. We were standing close to one of our Long Toms, which was at- tracting the fire of the enemy as the mag- net attracts steel; It rained heavy and fast around us from the enemy's guns, when the ship’s cannon landed a shell close to us. It made a tremendous noise as it struck the ground, some distance behind our gun, sank about four feet in the yielding soil, and, coming upon rock, burst with a most unearthly noise, similar to that which is caused by violently hammering an iron building with a heavy hammer. It made a hole in the ground big enough to bury a horse in. It so happened that one of our men was at the time not more than ten paces from the spot where the shell ex- pioded, and loud were our expressions of sympathy with the poor man whom we should never see again, the first victim of a lyddite bomb. The fatal smoke cloud rose high in the air, and the fragments of the shell hurtled through space, with a snarling sound, {n all directions. Our man stood up, walked toward the hole which had been made by the shell, and stood calmly gazing down into it. As already said, we found cer- tain portions of these bombs, containing not only lyddite, but also the chemical mat- ter required in order to explode it, and I send herewith a portion in order that it may be analyzed. The lyddite itself may be seen in the possession of Dr. Gunning in the State Museum. “The enemy us lyddite in connection with two guns of 12.5 centimeters, and these are, so we are informed, ship’s guns served by the sailors, and are situated in the hills to the north of the town, and fire two kinds of shells. “With respect to the actual workings of the bombs, I may inform you that the material in the bag marked X appears to be ignited immediately upon the projectile coming into contact with any hard sub- stance, and this immediately sets fire to the lyddite, which explodes with the effect above described. The English say that lyd- dite has six times the explosive power of dynamite, but, at the same time, it ts quiescent, and will not, like dynamite, ex- plode merely upon impact, and ft cannot, therefore, be fired with ordinary powder, and when it falls it bursts into fragments, which scatter on every side. When the lyd- dite was experimented with in Pretoria the same results were obtained, and we came to the ‘conclusion that the projectiles were about as harmless as those of the early part of the eighteenth century.” ——_+e+—____ Why the Engagement Was Broken. From the Chicago Post. “So your engagement is broken,” said the girl in gray. “Yes,” replied the girl in brown, frowning at the recollection. “What was the matter?” “He basely deceived me,” answered the girl in brown. “You see, it was this way: I asked him one day to promise me that he never again would smoke cigarettes, and he promised. Then I asked him to refrain from the use of tobacco tn any form, and he promised to do that. Later I told him I had a horror of any one who touched liquor, and he agreed never to touch it. After that I suggested that I thought clubs had a bad influence on young men and I should ex- pect him to give them up, and he sald he would. I also took up the subject of gam- bling, and made him promise that he would stop playing poker and buying pools on the races.” “Well, you didn’t demand anvthing of him, did you?” said the girl in gray. “I suppose he deceived you in the matter?” ‘He did." _ “Broke his promises, did he?” “Oh, no; I could have forgiven that. But just when I was congratulating myself that at least had reformed one young man [ found that he didn’t need any reforming. He wasn’t addicted to a singie one of the habits I made him promise to break. It was a terrible shock and I broke the en- gagement right away. There was no longer anything in it to make it interesting.” | 1% The Popular Store. | The Safest Place to Purchase. | o' Cash or Credit. | Another Great - Bargain Friday.
