DEWEY AT THE CAPITAL.
president Presents the Sword Voted
by Congress.


The elimination of Admiral Dewey's
triumphal home coming was reached I'M
der the dome of the national capitol when
he received from the hands of the presi-
dent the magnificent jeweled sword voted
him by congress in commemoration of the
victory of Manila bay.
Mere official sanction could never have
thrown into the demonstration the fervor
of enthusiasm that was melted out to the
admiral as he appeared before the vast
audience, composed not only of all the
highest officials in the land, but of spec
tators drawn from every quarter of the
United States.
The battle of Manila Bay was not for
gotten, but it might be said to have been
relegated almost to second place in the
desire to do honor to the man who had
proved himself as great after victory as
before it and who had shown in the long
and trying months that followed his ma
val triumph the qualities of a statesman
and wise administrator as well as those
of the leader of victorious fleet.
And enhancing these qualities was that
Of manly modesty, displayed in the quiet
dignity with which he met the occasion.
This trait of Dewey's character was evil
denced from the moment he reached the
stand side by side with the president. He
paused at this point for moment, un-
willing apparently to take the place that
had been prepared for him on the right
of the platform lest he should appear to
usurp the place due to the chief magis-
trate. President Mckinley grasped the
situation in an instant and, taking his
great sea captain by the arm, placed him
by gentle force in that chair that had
been intended for him. Later in the day,
as the carriage bearing the official party
drove away from the capitol between
walls of cheering people, the president
again displayed his tact by remaining
covered and ignoring the demonstration
himself, leaving its acknowledged to
the admiral alone.
| For Dewey it was trying as well as q
triumphal day. 1t has been given to few
officers in the naval history of the coun-
| try to sit before a crowd of thousands
while the chief of the naval establish
ment dilated upon his exploits and then
to stand before the same crowd to re-
ceive at the hands Of the president a
sword prepared for him at the behest of
the representatives of the whole people.
The strain upon Admiral Dewey reached
almost to the breaking point. None but
those nearest to him could tell his feel
ings during the address of Secretary
Long, but when he arose to receive the
sword from the hands of the president no
one could mistake the fash of the white
gloved hand as it rose to dash away the
tears before the admiral came to the
rigid attitude Of attention before his
chief.
When it came Dewey's turn to reply,
his voice failed him, and he made the
effort twice before his lips would respond.
When he did speak, his tones were
clear and steady, but so slow that 0uly
those nearest him could hear.

surrounded by rather high mountains
which were covered with bright green
shrubs. The tops were hid in mists.
Somehow one was reminded of Kat
rine and Lomond, but the noun
tains were less rugged here. We
should have had fine views of Full
yama at intervals to-day but the
clouds hid her and all the distant
views.
We took two boats up the lake and
walked home another way, passing a
ravine called Ojigoku or Big Hell, !"
which contained several hot sulphur
springs and even where there were
no springs the ground steamed like a
Troy Laundry, while a strong smell
of birthstone was all pervasive.
The trip was delightful one and
is one of the best known near Yoko-
hama. 1t reminds one of the Killar-
ney trip, around by the valley where
st. Patrick hid the snakes, and back
by the lakes.

The call for the Republican Prim-
aries to nominate delegates to the
county convention, which will name
the Republican candidates for the
Assembly, the shrievalty, and coroners
appears at the head of this column.
The primaries will be held one week
hence and the nominating convention
six days later.
The offices to be filled at the ensu-
ing election are important and the
duty of the hour is plain-very plain.
Nominate representative men as
delegates, then send them instructed
to nominate the best men, in the
truest sense of that word, and the
Republican candidates can be elected.
1t is the duty of every voter to at
tend the primaries.

from that vicinity.

is to control the produce trade be-
sides the passage travel and it is not

vegetables for the Plainield trade,

At the recent Protestant Episcopal
Convention in New York, the COM
mittee appointed to consider that por-
ton of the address relating to marriage
and the due observance of the Lord g
Day, the chairman, the Rev. DR..
Morgan Dix reported:
The Committee is glad that the Bish-
OPP has now laid his hand upon two
of the greatest evils of the hour The
Dissertation of the Lord Day, carried
to wider extremes of license, in
threatening the integrity of this peo-
pie as a Godfearing nation. The
steady spread of loose views as to the
stability of the marriage contract,
and the reckless ease with which the
relations of married people are disolv-
ed by divorce, are singularly threat
ening the existence Of the family and
the home. We believe there are no
two points on which our Chief Pastor
could more seasonably have pointed
the finger of warning we wish that
his impressive words might be read
and heard by every member of the
church of this diocese and seriously
laid to heart.
