Dewey IS a great man, and his
greatness does not come alone from
the fact that he achieved in many
respects the most wonderful naval
victory In the history OF the world.
He was just as great 3 man in
Gods sight, in his own estimation,
and in the estimation OF his inti-
mate friends, before he entered Ma
Mia harbOr rs he Is to-day. The
only difference is, they knew it and
we did not In my opinion, the
true greatness Of the man is not set
forth in the heroic manner in which
he conducted himself while the
great battle was going on. The
grandeur Of his character shOne
forth in the simple. modest way he
referred TO the engagement While
the civilized nations Of the world
WED with each other in praising
him, the tenor Of his cablegrams
would lead one 10 believe that he
was not really conscious Of having
performed an unusual feat. The
fact that he il . famous man may
be an accident; but the fact that
he is a great man Is in no sense &C.
cidental. Mere chance often gives
man renOwn, but never greatness
The fact that Dewey's name has
risen out Of darkness, and like
some splendid comet flashed across
the armament Of civilization, may
be due TO chance; but the fact that
he knows how to -rule his spirit
as well as the men and ships en-
trusted to his care is the result o.
many a battle the world know;
nothing Of. Did you ever thinL
that opportunities are never lack
ing to be a truly great man? Tbs
world may never know Of yOurreal
worth, but you will have the infin
lite satisfaction OF knowing it your
self. Il would rather know myself
to be a gentleman l have Otter
heard a noble old man say, -tha1
to have all the world to know il
beside

Admiral Dewey's father was a
physician OF no mean ability. He
was born in Berlin in 1901 and set
tied in Montpelier, VT, in 1872. In
1925 he married Miss Mary Perrin.
Four children we're born TO them.
George was the third child, being
born December %, 1887, away up
there in the little city OF MOntpe-
lier, where the tall elms over
shadow the broad streets with their
pleasant shades, and the green hills
look down upon you from every
side. Ii is a heaIthful climate and,
IL we are To believe with Words
worth that the climate is not an in
significant factor in the making and
formation OF character, it IS Pecul
iarly adapted to the production Of
such men OF force and power as
Dewey. But however great may
be the influence Of climate and en-
virOnment in mOlding character,
we find that the essential elements
must be in the man himself. The
hero Of Manil4 was fortunate in in
heriting-nOt a vast estate nor 3
million Of doIlars-but he inherited
something that is better, nObler,
richer, more enduring-something
that men are more in need Of to
day than any other one thing: the
courage Of eonrietion. Dewey had

that he had = little OF the same stuff

Well, as | started to say awhile
ago, old Doctor Dewey used to call
George his ''little hero" The old
man saw something Of the heroic
in his son while be was yet OF ten
der age; and although he is not
here to feel the thrill Of admiration
for his -Iittle hero which has gone
around the world, yet the old gen
tlsman did feel a sense Of joy one
dag in New York when the iIlustri-
ON Farragat grasPed his hand and
I'D: 'Sir, your son George Is a
worthy and brave officer. He has
"a honorable record and some day

A friend said 10 me the other az
tsrnOOn that it is a strange, but
nevertheless a true fact in human
life, that when one Of these giants
suddenly leap from the common
level Of humanity to the pinnacle
Of renOwn, men adroitly bring to
light the minutest details and &C
tions Of their entire lives. They
seem TO experience great pleasure
in d~elling on this or that phase Of
their bOyhOOd. They remember
what a precOcious lad he Was, and
how he always stayed awake in
church, and acted like a white child
during Sunday school. They even
crawled under his bed and listened
to his visions Of greatness as they
fiOated in and out the palace Of
dreams Did you ever think Of this
characteristic OF human nature, my
friend: It's true.

the descendants of the first old ape
who discovered the valley where the
monkeys live?
Do they hire the trees from the
chimpanZ>e who first found the forest?
Do they buy the cocoanuts from the
great-great-g grandchildren Of the goril-
la who invented way to crack them?
Do they allow two or three monkeys
to form q corporation and obtain con-
troll of all the paths that lead through
the woods?
Do they permit some smart young
monkey, with superior business abil-
ity. to claim all the springs of water in
the forest as his own, because Of some
alleged bargain made by their ances-
tors 500 years ago?
Do they allow small gang of mon
key lawyers to so tangle up their con-
ceptions of ownership that few will
obtain possession Of everything?
Do they appoint few monkeys to
govern them and then allow those ap-
pointed monkeys to rob the tribe and
mismanage all, its affairs?
Do they build up monkey city and
then hand over the land, and the paths,
and the trees, and the springs, and
the fruits to a few monkeys who sat on
log and chartered while all the work
was going on?
No, my friend, monkeys have wiser
system of municipal government than
that.
Although Kipling speaks Of them in
his jungle-book as "the people who
have 10 law" yet they have laws
enough to prevent the private owner
ship of public franchises.
If Prof. Garner, who claims to have
learned 40 words of the monkey Ian
guage, were to escort some reflective
chimpanzee around one of our cities,
the professor would find 1t rather diff
ficult to explain some of the manners
and customs Of civilized world
The chimpanzee would be amazed
to see a $500, GOO house. with 40 rooms
contain only millionaire and his
wife and ten servants, while $4,000
tenement, with 90 rooms, contained AZ
| people and no servants.
He would be still further astounded
to see the warehouse district, where
an abundance of everything was stored
close to the slum district, where the
people lacked the barest necessities o!
life.
He would be shocked to see an en-
tire street railway system, with hun
dreds of miles OF tracks, thousands
Of cars and employees, and carrying
millions of passengers every year, alb
solutely owned and controlled by three
or four men who never built a car Of
drove spike.
But when the professor would ex
plain to him that nine-tenths OF TIT
people In the city were quite conten
to endure such evils, and, in fact. grew
quite angry with any one who pro
posed to remove them, the chimpan
zee would say: "Take me back to tn
forest, and may the Good Spirit delive
us from civilization!-Rev. Herber
n. Casson.

Do we want the civilization Of the
Portuguese, for they have the gold
standard? The truth is that there are
many things which determine the civ
ilization of a nation, the most impor-
tant OF any being climate; and l appre-
bend that there is no danger of bring
ing the climate of Mexico to the Unit
ed States. But these silver-standard
nations, compared to their former con-
dition of five years past, are marvel
0usly advanced. In the last FIVE years
the exports Of Mexico have increased
more than so per cent. The numDer
OF manufactures in Japan and Mexico
have more than doubled, and the rail-
road building in every silver-standard
country has been increasing enor-
mously, while in the gold standard
countries, instead of an increase OF
manufactures, there has been, during
: Shese i've years, shutting down anu
closing of them to an extent unknown
before in the history of the nation,
1t is true that on account of the fam
Inc in India, the shortage Of crops In
Europe, and the war between the Unit
ed, States and Spain there has, in the
last eighteen months, been an upward
tendency in the price of some commo-
dities, but when conditions become
normal the same low prices must again
prevail. These silver-standard coun-
tries, by reason Of the increase in their
commerce and manufactures, are in
need more and more of a greater
circulating medium, and consequently
Il becomes pertinent to inquire wheth-
er nations having such need for in
crease Of money can easily yield up
any quantity Of money they have now
for the purpose OF bringing 1t to our
minis for coinage into American dol
lars. When we look into the monetary
statistics Of those countries, we are
struck with the fact that they have
entirely too small a circulating me-
dunn for their own use to be able to
part with any of their money. Mexico
has circulating medium Of but SAT-
per capita, Japan but $4.O9 per capita,
the Central American states but $3.7S
per capita and China but $2.08 per cap
tia, while the United States have a
circulation, according to the statement
of the Secretary of the Treasury, Of $24
per capita, and France has circula-
ting medium of nearly $40 for each
inhabltant. Is it possible that those
silyer-standard countries with short
age of circulating medium now would
be willing to part. with that circulat-
ing medium in order to flood the Unit
ed States with silver? Why, If Mexico
should send all her silver here, 1t would
be but a bagatelle. The total circulat~
ing medium Of Mexico in 1895 was bur
$50,00O,O00, and that is only about one
fourteenth part Of the demand caused
by the withdrawal Of the $696.OOO. 900
of gold. JOHN P. ALTGELD.

Gold Un and Prices Down.

Mr.. Sauerbeck's index number Of the
prices of commodities for August shows
that the downward movement which
set in after May still continues. The
figure for last month was 81, against
66.4 in May-the highest attained this
year. The following table shows the
index number for each month Of the
present year in comparison with the
annual averages since 1890:
Average of 1881 ~ January, 1898. .62.S
Average Of 1892. .6SIFeb., 1892. -, 1884
Average of 1888. .6SI March, 1885,. $3.50
Average Of 1894. SO April, 1898. =. .65.5
Average of 1895. 81 May, 1885,. 1854
Average of 1895. 81 June, 1898. SAT
Average of 1897. 81 July, 1898. -. .64.3
August, 1898. GAO
The main single factor In the de-
cline since May, as in the previous
rise, was the price of wheat. At the
end of May the Gazette" average oil
English wheat was Ats. Cd. per quar-
ter. 1t has since dropped to Cos. ID
Movements upward or downward in
the prices of other commodities were
not very important last month. On a
comparison of the averages Of the two
great groups Of food products and raw
manufacturing materials 1t appears
that whilst the average number Of the
former is nearly l per cent higher
than at the close of last year, that Of
the latter is fully 4 per cent higher

And the wine from royal cellars of the
European kings,
And the dresses made in Paris and the
other furrin things
Shows that them that runs this coun-
try, them that boss in war and
peace
Are a set of furrin barons living here
jist for to lease
Out their lands and other interests to
set Of native fools
Who are glad to have the honor to be
cheap and handy tools
For the buildin' up of fortunes that are
mostly spent abroad;
And somehow can't help thinkin that
we're on the downward road.
When / read that in this country SIGH
a feast was never spread,
That the ball-togs of the women
fetched from Europe for to shed
Royal glory on our nation are the
finest ever seen
And will make all former frolics COM
mon, low and cheap and mean,
And then think of staryin' families of
our soldiers out of jobs
And the millions of our workmen that
this furrin power robs
OF their wages; then their claimin' all
the credit for the war
Sounds heap like Betsey's husband
tellin' how he killed the "bar"
Parson, I believe in eatin' and can al
ways make hand
At the table, but l tremble for the
fate of this fair land
When our naughty furrin rulers lay
Belshazzar in the shade
With their feastin', while the people
see the wealth that they have
made
Bein' sqllfndered jubilatin'. by horde
that loafs around
W uiiO tut ud4A VI bhCu IL uOlhSLSos
ownin' not foot of ground,
And dependin' on the loafers for a
beggar's chance to earn
Jist enough to keep from starvin',
making that their main concern,
Std O. standin up like freemen and
demandin' what Is theirs
And insistin' on their power to con-
duct their own affairs,
Std O. askin' furrin nations what they
may and mayn't do
In what was a land Of freedom fore
we had this furrin crew.
Parson, believe this froIic got up by
this furrin crowd
Amt to celebrate the freedom thai
they talked about so loud;
But to jubilate their gittin' wider field:
for them to rule;
And to make the job more certain gil
up doin's for to fool
People into half-believin' that we orr
to own the moon.
Parson, If they're in for freedom the,
should sing another tune;
II they're in for freein' Cubans lei
them up and show their hand
Givin freedom to the toilers In oul
own dear. blood-bought land.
