The Dewey Home Project.

" Y RECENT calls for subscrip-
tions to the Dewey home
~ fund, which is to be closed
on Wednesday, have been
made by the gentlemen who have this
matter in charge, together with a half
hearted announcement that Admiral
Dewey will consent to accept a home
if one shall be proffered. The fund is
now about $4,000, but the bulk of it
has come from one locality, Brooklyn,
under the effective prompting of the
Brooklyn Eagle. There has been very
little spontaneous response from the
people.
A reason may be assigned for this
lack of popular responsiveness which
does not convict the public of parsi-
mony The desire to honor Dewey and
the willingness to spend money in hon
oring him are well illustrated in the
extraordinary scale of New York city's
forthcoming reception, an enterprise in
which probably not less than 5000. 900
Americans will participate, at a cost.
all told, of something like $4,000. 900, or
more than the market value Of the en-
tire fleet which Dewey led into Manila
bay.
The fact is that the idea Of passing
the hat for a home for a man of
DeWcys quality and character i'm
presses most persons as being incon-
gruous. They do not believe Dewey
wants to be converted into a public
tenant or sanctions this gratuitous use
Of his name, We think that subse.
quent events will disclose that this
| consensus of opinion is well founded.

enough to do some actual
suggesting Of future policy for the
Philippines, it is observed that he prac-
tically comedies with the administra-
ton, although not manly enough to
say SO. He says he favors continuing
the military campaign until the enemy
surrenders, after which he would set
up a stable government, as in Cuba,
and then withdraw, exercising after
ward a protectorate which would
guarantee the Filipinos against hos
tile invasion or dictation."
The Mckinley proposition is that tho
armed rebellion against American SOW
ereignty must be put down, after which
the natives shall have every oppor-
tunity for government that their
fitness and our responsibilities before
the world will allow. This means an
American protectorate, but one which
plays fair with foreign nations by not
trying to dodge any of our legal or
moral obligations. 1t means a protec-
torate such as we exercise in Alaska,
or Hawaii, or the Indian territory, with
unquestioned sovereignty but with full
recognition Of native ability when con-
sistent with the general welfare.
That is the kind of protectorate that
Mr.. Bryans would have to be, if it
should ever be put into practice; only
it suits his political purpose just now
to talk in favor of vaguer kind, which
enables him to seek votes on both
| sides of the fence dividing the expan-
| siOniStS from the "antis."

NORFOLK, VA, May 25.-The feature
Of the second days session of the South
eastern Tariff Association at Old Point
was the unanimous refusal by the men,
bers to endorse Thu proposition of Presi-
dent Gays that the universal mercantile
schedule be used by insurance companies
Z in future. The president made an earnest
argument in behalf of the resolution. The
subject precipitated a lively discussion. 1t
was held that the universal system of
rating is the only really scientific method
yet discovered. Its classes and gradua-
tons cover the various different class Of
risks, thoroughly the scale of rates vary
| ing with the location Of buildings, and
with minute detail regarding the charac-
