Let Vermont Be There.

The instructions posted at the navy de-
partment in Washington, "Send the Olym.
pia's mail to London" is taken to indicate
that the government expects Admiral
Dewey to accept the permission OF Secre.
tary Long and leave the Philippines with.
out waiting the conclusion of the labors o1
the Philippine commission or the arrival oi
Admiral Watson. And it also implies that
the hero of Manila has decided to come by
way OF London and thence to New York.
There is much of potency in the appeal
of the people of the Pacific coast that the
naval commander who made their coast
safe from the attack of Spanish fleet
should come to his own by way of San
Francisco, but it is also appropriate that
the great metropolis of America should be
the first to extend its greetings to the fore
most figure of the war with Spain. New
York, better than any other city, has facil-
tiles for properly accommodating the enor-
nous crowds that will assemble when
Dewey, Dewey OF Vermont, sets foot again
on the soil of the country he bas served SO
well and grandly.
Among all the peoples of all the state,
none have more cause for pride in the
achievements of Admiral George Dewey
than the people of the state that gave him
birth, gave him to the republic. No mat
ter who else is there to welcome Dewey,
Vermont should be there, and there in
proper representation.
Vermont, it is true, has no national
guard, no organized militia force to rep
resent her upon such an occasion, an oc-
casion the like Of which will not come to
present generations. But Vermont has a
regiment Of men who answered to the call
of their country to fight with Dewey, fairly
well equipped, regiment of men whose
members did their duty, sometimes the
hardest of soldiers duties, the duty OF
waiting.
The members of the First Regiment Of
Vermont volunteers are not equipped for
holiday parade, theirs is not the glitter and
the tinsel of holiday soldering, but theirs
was the courage and the manhood to seek
performance OF patriotic duty.
Send them down to Dewey's coming clad
in the rough uniform of United States
soldier, deck them with sprig of green,
let them be in the forefront to greet Yer
mont's great captain. There'll be glitter
enough, tinsel enough, what Vermont
wants is men,"
The above is from the st. Albans Mes.
senger and states the situation fairly
Admiral Dewey is today the foremost
American citizen and the one brilliant star
of the recent war with Spain. The entire
country will unite in doing him honor, and
Vermont should be in the front ranks. Yer.
mont must be represented at New York,
and when the admiral reaches his native
state-well, we can safely leave the vel
come to his fellow citizens.
