Against Bringing Dewey Home.
tor Of The Evening Star:


AS citizen of the United States desire
to express my Individual disapproval of the
proposition made by "a COMMITTEES repre-
senting the business men of the city'' 10 tho
Secretary of the Navy to have Admiral
Dewey brought home at the time of the
proposed peace jubilee
Our nation is rich in its military heroes
and it rejoices il their victories and gIories
in their vaior. but it has none to spare.
can conceive of no proposition that
could be made by the people of the capital
city or of the nation. unless it should be a
proposition that he desert his coIors and
prove himself traitor and a coward. that
would be more humiliating to that brave
oincer than the proposition that he leave
MS post OF honorable duty and come to this
city to become the principal attraction. the
drawing card, the freak of a show for the
muftltudes TO cape at; and / wish he might
be spared the humilfa ton of knowing that
such q proposition had been made or the
thought OF such proposition entertained
surely the nation cannot afford TO have an
oincer which II has SO recently SO yeper-
ousiy and so deseryedly honored brought
down to that level. and to me II is not con-
ceivabie that Admiral Dewey cou,d enter-
tam such proposition for single mo-
ment. '
Fhere Is no citizen in all the nation who
would not be glad and proud to see AdrniraI
Dewey at his post of honorable duty and
10 express his appreciation OF his great
service to his country, and IL that post of
duty Is ever transferred to this CITY MANY

with scarce a murmur. patiently trusting
in God till she heard His call to come up

sleep little while. She closed her eyes
and sho was indeed asleep, from which

In the peaceful graves embrace;
But thy memory will be cherished
It'll we see thy heavenly face.

Tho people there pressed about them
