4 DISGRACE TO AMERICA.
CNew York Evening Journal)

(New York Evening Journal
The shameful attacks upon Admiral
Dewey are properly and nobly resented
by him. They are typically ungrateful,
and, to the shame of the country be 1t
said, they are typically American.
The admiral serves his country well.
He adds to the pride and glory of every
American.
on his return the nation slobbers over
him as only this nation CAN slobber.
AS quietly and modestly as he served
his country he endures his country's 8
annoying adulation.
He is an old man and lonely. A few
cheers from thoughtless fools in the
street do not fill up his life-whateVer
those fools may think.
Admiral Dewey, having done his WORK
marries a good woman of middle age
who has had the good fortune to win
the affection Of the best man in the
country.
Could anything be more respectable
or proper? Could the admiral do better
than deed to his wife whatever property
he may possess? Does he not as a
husband set an example as good as that
which he gave us at Manila as a
sailor?
In England q LOrQ Nelson call lSSOiii
mend to his country's affections
woman of dissolute life without forfeit
ing any of his glory or Of his country
love.
But here our great sailor marries ad-
mirably and asks only to be let alone
What happens?
Every hysterical female who feels
that the admiral should have married
her sets up a fierce screech. Every
fool American who would jump II he
heard a popgun explode begins to
critiCise.
What encouragement does such a
people as this offer to faithful service?
Help us win our victories, make the
flag glorious-we'll cheer you for hVe
days, then make your life bitter with
insults"
On behalf of what is decent and CRATE
full in the American nation this paper
wishes to apologize to Admiral Dewey
and his wife for the shameful conduct
of an ungrateful public.
Fortunately, temporary lngrantude
cannot dim his achievements.
This country may forget him for
time. But Spain will not forget him
for one second. That is the best proof
of his work. And that will suffice him.

JUST WHAT TO DO
With AguinaldO If Caught Will
Be a PuzzliDg
Question.

ws-Democrat Leased Wire Service.l
Washington, Nov. 2S.-Considerable
interest is being taken in official circles
as to the disposition Of Aguinaldo, in
case he is captured. Some say that the
best solution would be his death in
action but this is not expected. Should
he be captured Otis will undoubtedly
await instructions from Washington,
as to the treatment he could accord
him. The United States could not. as
matter of right, should Aguinaldo
escape to Hongkong, ask for his
surrender, and the president would,
therefore, doubtless, determine to leave
the insurgent leader alone. In con-
nection with the disposal of Aguinaldo,
in case of capture, the authorities would
have to consider the effect of the policy
upon the natives. When the insurrec-
ton is finely subdued a civilian or COM
mittee will be sent to govern the
Philippines. The archipelago will be
divided into four military departments.
The island of Luzon in two, over which
Generals Lawton and Macarthur will
probably preside. General Otis needs
a rest and is expected to return to
the u. S. when he is satisfied there is
no longer any need of his remaining in
Manila.

THE DEWEY OUTRAGE.


A few thoughtless, tactless, and mean
spirited persons have humiliated the
American people. They have spoiled
the gracious purpose OF the nations
gift to Admiral Dewey and brought
pain and chagrin where there should
have been happiness without a flaw
They have subjected the country &c. the
intolerable imputation that when 1t
gives tributes of affection it keeps them
tied up with strings.
Nobody was under any compulsion to
subscribe to the Dewey Home fund.
Nobody was asked to subscribe on the
basis of stock company, with a vote
in the subsequent management of the
enterprise. The fund amounted in all
to the one-fifteenth part of cent for
| every person in the United States. If
any of the persons who contributed
were not satisfied with the terms in
which the subscriptions were called for.
there were plenty of others with plenty
| of money to make up any deficiency.
Some people have presumed to talk cf
bad taste in connection of the ad-
miraPs disposition of his house. I'M
agine an opinion on a question of taste
| from a person capable of following up
a gift, criticising the recipients treat
ment of it, and expressing a desire to
have his money back!
When our government gave a sword
and promotion for a service for which
| England would have given a peerage
and fortune Dewey felt fully repaid.
That was republican simplicity. When
| the authorities undertook to cut down
the prize money for the victory of
Manila Bay, on the ground that the
battle had not been won against a
superior force, nobody felt aggrieved.
That was business. But when cads
| smear their grimy paws over n testi-
monial of affection that came straight
from the hearts Of the people, the thing
is resented. That is sentiment.
That house was given to Admiral
Dewey because the persons that gave
it to him wanted to give him pleasure.
1t was not for the glory of the donors,
but for the satisfaction of the admiral.
And if it gave him more pleasure to
| transfer the title to his wife than to
keep it himself the purpose of the gift
was fully accomplished and the affair
was nobody's business but his own.
Admiral Dewey should not blame the
American people for the unfortunate in
cident. Among 100000 human beings
| there are bound to be some fools, some
cads and some malicious characters,
and folly, vulgarity and malice are
noisy. But the feelings of the vast mass
of the American people toward George
Dewey have never changed since May
l, 1898.

Eew York Journal:

Editor New York Journal:
Has Admiral Dewey undone his deed
Of May /, 1898, that his countrymen
should turn like vipers upon him now?
If were Dewey 1 would sell the house
and return the money to the subscrib-
ers. What favors has Dewey asked OF
the people, anyway?
Such tratmesnt is enough to make
any sensitive man shed tears.
We howl at the French for their hys-
terics. Let us get mirror and look at
ourselves and feel ashamed.
MARTIN F. PIPER.
Hoboken, Nov. 22.
Admiral Dewey may undo the deed
to the house presented to him by a small
portion of his fellow countrymen, but
he can never undo the deed of May /,
last year.
He asked no favors of his country or
his countrymen. He asked no favors
of Montojo. He asked no favors of for
eign fleets anchored at Manila.
He asked for no demonstration in his
honor and, lastly, he did not ask for the
house.
But what he does ask at present is to
be let alone. He has spent almost all
his life at sea, and the least this coun-
try can do is to allow him to enjoy his
"shore leave" to the end Of his days.
Suppose a war were to break out to-
morrow. All! There is where the shoe
pinches. 1t would be, For Gods sake,
send Dewey to the 'front.'" "By all
means hurry Dewey after them;" Let
the country rely on Dewey"
Wall street would go down on it's
marrow bones and perform rites to him.
The persons who regret their miserable
contributions would turn to Dewey with
prayers.
Then, do you know what this grizzled
old sailor would do? Newly married,
and with almost the only domestic hap
piness he has ever known before him.
he would buckle on his sword hoist the
four-starred flag of Farragut, and go
to battle for the honor of his country
and the welfare Of his selfish country
men.
Yes; Dewey wept, but Bayard Tay-
lor says:

The loving are the daring"

self the occupancy of the home during
their lives or either of them, and yet
leave to the discretion of Mrs. Dewey the
surrender of the home to the son at
any time. should the needs of the son
and his family demand 1t.
"3. A direct conveyance by the ad-
miral and his wife to the son, with
a reservation of life occupancy, would
have caused comment which might
well have given Mrs. Dewey great
unpleasantness. On the other hand
her free and generous gift will bring tc
the action the commendatlon of just
minds.

When the people recall how generous

the present efforts to destroy Dewey

efforts in behalf of the second term

OF course, the first effect Of these
malicious stabs at Admiral Dewey was
so keen as to blind him as to their
source-its significance and inslgnih-

"Any we'll informed lawyer or con-

death of the Admiral, in all probability
she would have occupied the house

NEE
Age and Marriage.

A woman's prospect Of marriage is
distinctly affected by age. The statls-
tics of all countries show that the great
majority of women marry between the
ages Of 20 and 80. Before reaching 20
a woman has, Of course, chance OF
matrimony, but the objections raised
by parents or friends to marriage at q
tender age frequently outweigh the de-
sire of the young woman to acquire a
husband, and lead her TO defer the
wedding day.
All the statistics that have been
gathered bear out the statement that
a woman's best chance to marry is al
the age Of 25. that over six-tenths OF
the marriages take place between 2C
and 30, and consequently that wO
mans chance increases up to rs. and
steadily decreases after that age until
1t reaches the vanishing point some
where about 60.
Out of 1000 married women Lac
marry before the age Of 20, $50 be
tween 20 and 30. Ill between 30 and
40, the woman in the thirties having
not SO good chance as the girl In heI
teens; between the ages Of 40 and sc
the falling OF is enormous, only Al In
1000 contracting an alliance in that
decade, while past 80 the chances still
further diminish, for the woman who
has celebrated the seml-centennial Of
her birth has only nineteen chances IL
a thousand.
