DEWEY H)NORED BY BOSTON.
Given Sword, Then a Watch on a
Silver Platter.
NO ONE EVER SAW ITS EQUAL.

Boston, Oct. 1.-THE residents of
Boston and vicinity, augmented by
thousands of visitors from other Sec
tons of the commonwealth and from
adjacent states, did honor to Admiral
Dewey. The hearty greeting with
which Admiral Dewey was received
when he arrived was completely over
Swallowed as he rode through the city
in the front ranks of the brilliant naval
and military pageant. Some of the
New England states sent their COVER
nors and some a number of their other
prominent men. From all parts came
large delegations.
just as the party were about to take
carriages for Boston common members
of the Boston Traveller staff appeared
and presented the admiral with q
beautiful sword, the cost of which was
met by dime contributions from the peo-
pie of Boston.
OBy the stand at the city hall $50
trained singers from the Handel and
Haydn society were seated. AS the ad-
miral and his party appeared upon the
stand, the society sang 'See the Con-
quering Hero Comes" to which the ad-
miral listened chepeau in hand and at
the close of which he stepped forward
and acknowledged the reception with
repeated bows.
The mayor then delivered the address
to the distinguished guest, who remain
ed seated, at the mayors request.
Mayor Quincy said in part: "Our
people love you as an example of great
devotion to high duty. In our national
perplexities arising out of the strange
and trying situations which confront us
in the Philippines we turn to you who
knew the conditions SO we'll, for coun-
sci, for guidance, for still further SER
vice.
''The city government of Boston now
desires to present to you, Admiral
Dewey, a gift which you may take
away as a slight token of our gratitude
for your services to the country, of the
special pride which we feel in you as q
son of New England and as a memento
of this memorable visit. The sugges-
ton of a watch as a suitable present
came from one of your former ship
mates. We offer to you upon silver
tray, which will hand.down to your de-
scendants, in a more enduring form
than parchment, the inscription en-
graved upon it formally extending to
you the freedom of the city of Boston.
May the time which this watch shall
mark deal gently with you, and may
you be long spared to serve your coun-
try in whatever station she may need
YOU"
Admiral Dewey appeared greatly
moved at the mayors remarks. He
said:
"Mr. Mayor: wish to thank you for
your kind and complimentary remarks.
l wish also to thank, through you, the
citizens of this city, for this present,
for it's freedom, and for this great ova-
ton; the like of which no living man
has ever seen, think. The ovation
which was given me here, 1 believe, has
never been equalled within the lifetime
of any of us-at all events, never saw
the equal of it. thank you very much
indeed"

The LynchinE Investigation.

SCOTTSBURG, Ind, Jan. County Cor
oner Andrew L. Blackall to-day resumed his
olclaI inquest In the matter of the lynching
OF Marion Tyler here on the morning of Dec
"a Two days last week were consumed in
taking testimony, and at that time there
were no sensational developments, yet there
were enough to give Attorney General Tay
lor and other officers sufficient encourage
ment to continue the investigation. AT that
Tune there did not appear to be much inter-
est taken in the matter by citizens except
from matter of curiosity, but
To-Day when the inquest convened very
gooo crowd was present and the officers
We're given to understand that the sentiment
or the people was clearly in favor of Wig

nesses testified, some in private. The testi-
mony OF the latter can only be Surmised.
The testimony given to-day established the
TACT that at least portion of the mob came

that they came afOot, having hitched their
horses In the bottoms about two miles north

IT is generally admitted as a fact. This,
coupled with other stories which
have in mysterious ways reached the Off
GERS, leads them to believe that they have a
very good cleW Nearly all who testified
to-day reside in the country-some as far as
six miles from this place 1t developed to-
day that the attorney general and deputy
prosecutor were in possession of pointers
OF which the public here is not advised.
This afternoon somewhat of a sensation
was created by one witness whose manner
on the stand indicated that he was not
willing to talk. He was examined closely,
and he seemed to be very positive in his
answers. While his testimony alone was
not of such vast Importance, the evidence
OF others when taken in connection appeared
to establish a most important clew for the
officers to work upon. Indeed. the conduct
OF this witness was enough to cause a
silence In the ROOM which indi-
Gated plainly that the audience believed
the officers had at last hit upon a clew
worth following. Summing up the whole
testimony so far given publicly there is
nothing developed to warrant the arrest of
any one. At the request of the attorney
general, deputy prosecutor and many citi-
zens Coroner Blackall at > O'Clock this aft
ernoon continued the inquest indefinitely
Circuit Court convenes next Monday, and
a special grand jury has been drawn to In

Judge Willard New will deliver such a
charge to the grand jury as will cause it to
make most thorough investigation.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Some well-meaning people who have more
sentiment than sense seem to labor under
the impression that the late war with Spain
has entirely changed. or at least greatly
modified, the character of the civil war of
1861. They manifestly have reached this I'M
warranted conclusion from the glorious fact
that the North and South fought side by
side with equal bravery and devotion under
the stars and stripes in the late war, while
in the civil war the North and the South
were fighting each other-the North to save
the Union. and the South to break it up and
destroy it. The record of the civil war is
made up. 1t is part of the imperishabe his
tory of the race. Nothing that has occurred
since then, or can come to pass in the flu
ture can reach back and blot out or modify
a single line of the record. The South, at
the end of the civil war, accepted the situa-
ton and became again citizens of the Re-
public. 1t is matter of congratulation on
all sides that they did so. To express sur
prise and to so into raptures over their
prompt enlistment to fight common enemy
is an unjust imputauon on their good taltn
and loyalty to the Republic. Even If 1t be
true that they have erected monuments 10
perpetuate the memory OF Robert Il. Lee
and Stonewall Jackson, and have organized
Confederate associations to keep alive the
comradeship of the men who fought to-
gether, it has not been a matter OF COM
plaint on the part of the North that they
have done so. The North has not asked
them to forget their living or dead comrades
in their effort to break up the Union ana
esta blish a Southern COnfederacy on the soil
of a common ancestry. But the tact or 10Y
atty and disloyalty to government IN 1851
stil remains. II would be as childish IN the
Grand Army of the Republic TO wear the
badge of the Confederate Veterans ASSo-
citation as it would be ridiculous for the
Confederate to wear the button of the Grand
Army of the Republic. 1t would De simply
foolish qualification and Self-condemnat1on
of each to do so, and would have tendency
to record what had better be forgotten. TO
pension the Confederates or in any way to
give national sanction to a cause that mil
lions of union soldiers fought to defeat and
destroy would be senseless stupidity.
1t is a matter of cOngratulatlon that the
South takes this same view of the situation.
on all sides in the South there is earnest
to pension the ConfedeIates. The New Or
leans Democrat says: 1T would be to COM
nit national suicide for the government to
treat those who then warred against ii in
the same way that ii treats the hundreds
OF thousands who fought and died beneath
It's standards. There are times when every
consideration requires that the head shall
rule the heart, and this Is assuredly one OF
these supreme occasions"
II is 10 be hoped that the Spanish war
will hasten the time when on both sides sec
tonal recrimination will cease. and all. for
getting the mistakes Of the past, viii press

Gus future for our own common country.
