Admiral Dewey tbiaks it will take jnsC thirty-eight minutes to capture Manila. Up to date tbe United States bas had tbe best of tbe preliruinary skirmisbes of the war. No difficnlty would be experienced in raising a regiment right here in Ann Arbor if necessary. And the feeling of patriotista is increasing. Ann Arbor is prond of Co. A, which left for the front Tuesday and knows tbat she will render a good account of herself if given half an opportunity. Tbere is no danger of a bombardment of New York. The Spanish fleet would be blown out of the waters before they coold get near enoogb to shell the city. The United States has grown populous euongh and strong enongh to tbrow aside hei traditional policies and make for heiself oolonies. If the Hawaiian Islands, the Phillipine Islands, Cuba, and Porto Rico vrere American texritories as well as Alaska, what an ímpetus wonld be given to oor oommerce. This is onr great opportnnity if onr leaders are only strong enongb to see it, even thongh the peaoefnl mugwump should raise an ontcry against snob a policy.
