II a newspaper man knew how many kicks he receives behind his back, bo would adopt another calling, remarked a mao recently. That man was mis* takeo, truthfully says the Marietta Journal. The newspaper man who succeeds expects to be maligned by every lawbreaker, swindler and hypo* crite, every carping critic and every lover ol notoriety who is ignored. The editor who expects to go through life without being misrepresented and un« justly censured should make arrange* menta to die young. Those who argue for “imperialism” from the success of our policy of ex pansion in the past, omit one I impor tant, if not indispensable, factor. Up to now the growth of the country has always been upon the continent and, with the exception of Alaska, which is scarcely an exception after all, otpTtnes of contiguity. It has been a country that could be governed without the nee of a navy, and, virtually, without an army. The policy of extension over thousands of miles of sea requires both army and navy. Are they sure it will work as wellT—Philadelphia Ledger. Admiral Dewey was quoted recently as saying: “Torpedoes aad their ap pliances are good enough in their way, but are entirely of secondary impor tance.” Dewey believes in good gun practice; in first class guns and high grade men behind them- Hie Manila fight vindicated his judgment, and the fleet off Cuba has just added the con* firmation of its achievement. At neither Manila nor Santiago did the torpedo craft of amount to anything at all. At the latter place a little converted yacht armed with rapidflre guns and manned by sure* shot "Yankee tars, whipped both of Spain's crack “destroyers” in short order; and they were believed to be about as good of their clam as any afloat.—-Savannah News.
