1t will be interesting to note with what
varying emotions the men in high pol til
cal places will witness the return to this
country of Admiral Dewey, should his re-
quest for relief from active duty with the
Asiatic squadron be granted by the Navy
Department, which it most undoubtedly
will. 1t is quite probable that the ad-
miraI is unaware OF the talk and gossip
which has linked his name with a future
Presidency, and the conqueror of Montojo
may be immensely surprised to hear
riping voices in the crowds that receive
him, heralding his name as political
rival of Mr.. Mckinley, but these things
are very apt to happen, and not to the
exclusive embarrassment of the popular
naval officer. Admiral Dewey is perhaps
the only figure, except Schley and Gen.
Joe Wheeler, identified with the recent
hostilities of whom the people seem de-
certainly the country at large looks for
ward to his home coming with more en-
thusiasm than awaited the return of other
fighters who played roles Of more or less
Importance in the defeat of Spain. At all
events the name of Admiral Dewey Is
engaging the attention of Administration
politicians, who are prepared to see and
