Sir: 1 have noticed with great pleasure the

Admiral Dewey with a suitable home IN the
capital of the Union. The project is generous
and happy one. but I greatly doubt whether
Admiral Dewey will consent to be indebted 10
the generous wealth OF the country for any such
gift. He did not fight his battles and win MS
unparalleled victories for the wealth OF our
country, but for THE People" OF every grace
and condition OF life. Stating that the thing is
to be done only by the people in voluntary sii's
equal by all, not one OF which shall exceed th'
sum Of 81, believe that on such call more
than a million OF our people would gladiy seho
the dollar, and that more than another million
would add their mite to such patrlouc pur

ROBERTS ADDRESS.
Mormon Congressman Issues
Manifesto to the Public.

Washington, Dec S.-Brigham H.
Roberts, of Utah, who was not allowed
to be sworn in as a representative in
congress of that state, has issued an
address to the American people. 1t con-
tainS much that was said by Mr.. Rob
erts on the floor OF the house and Mr..
Richardson, who opposed the resolution
of Mr. Taylor (O) After reviewing the
facts and proceedings resulting in the
appointment of the committee, he says;
The member from Utah is not al
lowed to take the oath of his office, and
a committee is appointed to try him as
to his alleged guilt of the OmenSeS
charged. Nay, even more is granted
than was asked, at least more than was
asked upon the floor of this house. For
a hostile committee has been appointed
to inquire into the case. It's member
ship is made up entirely of those who
voted to adopt the method of procedure.
No one who voted against it was allow
ed to find place upon that committee;
and if the creation of such a tribunal
for such a purpose be allowed, there is
no reason why the committee should
not be made up of members of one pO-
litical faith-fOr the majority may do
as it pIeases about that.
4 ask the American people to stop
and think what that may mean to this
country in times of high political ex-
citement and party strife and passion.
i. a formidable minority in the
house may be reduced either to a very
insignificant minority, or even blOtted
out of existence.
=. The representation to which
state is entitled on the floor of the
house may be denied TO it-as in this
Utah case-fOr any length of time this
committee may elect to deny it such
representation Suppose that in this
case the committee shall see proper to
proceed with reasonable expedition to
consider the questions involved, but
what is there to hinder delaying its ac-
