The existence of a state of hostiitieS

patriotic emblems was more general
yesterday than upon any previous day.

DEwEY,s EIkTHPLACE.

A Register reader asks: From what
State is Commodore Dewey? He is
credited on the naval roster to Yer
mont. but the gallant sailor was born
at East Liverpool Ohio. His father
was well-known blacksmith when
his now distinguished son was born,
and when the boy was I years old
moved back to Vermont. in which
State all his biographers say the boy
was born.
number Of the older residents of
East Liverpool remember him as child
about his fathers smithy. and speak
of him as being courageous and good
natured little chap, fond of boyish
sports and a favorite among his elders
as well as with his playmares.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-05-04

The later the news from the Phliip-
pines the greater and more glorious
becomes the American victory. Ana
we have yet to hear the official report
of Commodore Dewey, or the American
side CT the story, although it was
stated by the Washington corresponds
eDt OF the Register that the President
received note from Dewey tel ing OF
the events at Manila.
We can imagine the enthusiasm
amcng the grave statesmen gathered
ing CT the cabinet at the White House
when this communication from the
commodore of the victorious feet on
the other side OF the world was read,
clinching and adding to the earlier
tragmentary reports that drlbbled
through Spanish sources. We already
know the unbounded enthusiasm man
ifcsted in official Washington On every
street corner and before every bull
letin beard as the glorious news came
in piecemeal to the patriotic citizens
hungry for the latest from our gallant
fighters. All Washington was ablaze
wit't@@e.ltAusi9sm and all day and all
night long the capital city resounded
with the intermittent cheering Of the
people who gave uprestrained express
sion to their patriotic joy. And this
is a practical description of the recep-
lion given the news in other cities
throughout the country. The Amerl-
can people almost everywhere testl-
fed their appreciation of the glorious
victory for our flag.
In Wheeling what was lacking In
active and vocal demonstration was
made up in the patriotic display OF
Old Glory, especially in the business
centre CT the city. Wheeling will
have q chance to make up. Ger whatever
neglect there may have been in this
regard. however, by indulging in a
patriotic expression Of its appre-
citation of the prowess OF cur arms
AGAINST foreign fee when the actual
news from the standpoint OF the brave
and brilliant American Commodore is
given to the people. There IS no doubt
that it will show the victory to be
one of the grandest in history and the
skill. bravery and daring CT the Amer
lean Commodore and his little fleet
something unsurpassed in the history
OF the world.
The present generation have never
before had such cause to cheer the
flag of their country and they never
NAV have another opportunity so fit
ting. Therefore. as the Register has
s-seady suggested, let us get together
and celebrate what will prove the de-
cisive blow of the war.
