The First Resolution About Dewey.

Tho first resolution offered by Mr.. S. b.
CHITTENDEN before the committee APP
pointed by the Mayor to arrange for
Admiral DEwEY's reception in this city
contains n wholesome idea. This was the
resolution:
"R,,olp,d That any attempt by any person or
party, hy contr buttons Of money or otherwise. to
establish claim upon his gratitude. or TO secure
his recognition. would restrict his freedom Of
action, and deserves the seyerest reprehension OF
che American people"
While this is improperly suspicious OF
mems motives in seeking TO give to Admiral
DEWEY some more solid token of his coun-
trymen's feelings than purely public honors,
80 far rs this resolution applies to any
scheme to present to the Admiral a house or
other financial mark OF the general regard.
il H. well worthy of attention Men OF DEW
EY's calbrc cannot properly be disrcgarded
when 1t comes to schemes for rewarding
their services through other than the rcgu-
larpubic channels of their Government In
regard to that subject passage from II let
ter written by Admiral DEWEY last March to
friend in New York may shed some timely
light. 1t WAS in answer to notice that
some admirers here were thinking about
building cottage for him. These are Ad-
miral DEwEYs words:
lam In receipt Of letter regarding a subscrip-
tou to be raised for the purpose of building for
a cottage - Island. l approve most heartily
your action in declining to Join such subscription
and hope will continue to discourage it with all
your power"
The reception to DEWEY should be COM
mrnsnrato with the homecoming Of a vic
toriOus fleet commander who has changed
the map of the world for the benefit OF his
country and Of civilization. But we must
conclude from the sentiment signited above
that the building of house or the making
up of purse OF money for Admiral DEWEY
which, doubtless, Mr.. CHITTENDEN meant
to provide against, would not be in accord
ancc with DEwEY's preference.

A Southern Democrat on the Political
situation.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: As a
Southern Democrat l desire to indorse us
strongly as l know how the conclusions
reached IN the editorial in your issue Of the

Party" Down here in Georgia We have no
sympathy forithis German and a straddo talk
We would rather not have control of the Gov
eminent than to have that control at tho cx-
pense Of principles. To have the Offices may
mean something to the politicians who arc
able to draw the salaries. but the rank and nlo
OF the party would rather be on the outside II
to get in means another straddle and another
sell out. such as We experienced under ClGvc-
land.
There Is, however. one portion Of your edi-
torial to which | must enter protest 1t is
your tendency to saddle upon the Democrats

would favor retreat from the Philippines.

feeling among Southern Democrats.
When you are speaking OF the cOwardly

Longer Resistance Means Only Bit
tcrcr Punishment.

Recent numbers of AGU1NALDo's organ,
the Filipino lndependencia show that the
insurgents in the Philippines are relying
on the alliance Of the "Anti-Imperialsts
in this country to help them to successful
resistance against the authority of tho
United States That paper proposes that
the rebellion shall be continued until our
next Presidential campaign. with the ex-
pcctation that the election will be sure to
result in Il decision to withdraw the Ameri-
Fan troops from the Philippines"
That such would be the consequence of
the Anti-Imperialst" assault was obvious
from the beginning. That was the pur-
pose for which it was started. 1t has pro-
cceded all along on the theory that the in
surrecton is justiiiable, that AGUINALDo Is
mobile patriot, and that we have no right
to assert our authority over the Philip
pines. That means that tho "Anti-Im-
perialists" are fighting on the side OF
AGUINALDo in tho effort to destroy our
soldiers and to prolong the instruction,
with the hope OF compelling a surrender to
the Filipino insurgent.
These assailants of their countrymen are
only few in number but that there
are any of them is enough to encourage
AGUINALDo to keep up his resistance and
Increase the blOodshcd. The rebellion would
have ended long ago if this fire on our
troops from the rear had not been started;
probably 1t would never have been at
tempted Mt all, except for the expectation
OF such trcachcrOus American assistance.
These "Anti-lmpcrialists," however are
only inviting for the Aguinaldo insurgents
bittercr punishment than otherwise they
would have received. They will be put
down at whatever cost and the longer they
resist our arms the more terrible will be
their lesson. SO far from the Presidential
campaign of next year helping them, even
If they are able to fulfil their boast Of keep
ing up the contest until then, it will only
demonstrate the moro clearly and en-
phaticaIly the determination of the Amcr
can people to maintain their authority
over tho Philippines. No considerable
party Will dare to outrage American scnti
meht approaching "anti-imperialism, that
is, surrender; for it would invite the over
whelmng defeat which awaits the attempt
OF its ally, AGUINALDO, to defy the Ameri
can nation. But in spite of trcachcrous
assistance from America his insurrectoI
will have been subdued long before tn,
