DEWEY FAMILY PARTY.
Relatives of the Great Admiral En-
loved the Demonstration.


NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-One of the most
delightful features Of the day was the
hearty way In which the members OF the
Dewey family enjoyed every detail OF the
tribute to their great kinsman. Under
the guidance of Edward Wilkins Dewey,
a nephew of the admiral who has been
a New Yorker for years, the family party
left the Waldorf-Astoria for Battery
Park, where they boarded the steamer
Sendy Hook, Mayor Van Wyck being in
waiting for them. Charles Dewey, the ad-
n;rals elder brother, was the dean of
the party. His wife and son, and son
son were with him. There were Mrs
II H. Finley. niece of the admiral, and
her daughter, Miss Frances Finley, Mr..

There are certain Republican organs
that have stolen the livery of heaven in
which to serve the devil. Some of them
are published in Minnesota In these
journals most elaborate and ornate de-
nunciations of trusts have from time to
time appeared, and number of them
have torn a passion to tatters in their
vehemence. They are OF course, of recent
origin and spasmodic But the Iucubra-
tons have appeared and do now, occa-
sionally, exhibit a recrudescence in the
columns of Republican papers and are
animated and picturesque if not virile.
As bats for gudgeons, these editorials
are curiosities worthy of analysis. They
have deceived others; they will deceive
you provided you are an orthodox Re
publican. To a Democrat, however, they
are as amusing as a cage of monkeys to
the adoIescent circus attendant in the
rural districts. While bitterly inveighing
against the octopus" one can read be-
tween the lines of each article that the
editorial heart is not behind the editorial
pen, and that the majority of them are,
when not fustian verbiage. as baseless as
the 'iridescent dream" of that great Re
publican phrasemonger and statesman
minus job, John J. Ingalls,
Indisputable proof of the foregoing has
been adduced at the two recent trust con-
ferences in Chicago and st. Louis. Here
men gathered from widely separated 10
calities met to voice their sentiments
concerning one of the most absorbing no
Htical topics now current in the United
States In nine cases out of ten those
who have advanced the honey of orator.
zeal palliation for trusts have been men
of staunch, mistaken RepubIicanism.
While Democrats have condemned. Re
publicans have upheld, in both cities, the
blighting principle of trusts. One notable
exception, perhaps, has been Gov.
Hazen S. Pingree, of Michigan, but he
has been frequently bitterly denounced
as an active and pernicious opponent of
true Republication. In the main Demo-
Gratis. and Democrats only, have taken
the manly, outspoken stand of opposition
to the evil which they had assembled to
discuss
To certain Republican delegates to these
two conventions the whole subject has
appeared farcical, and as such they have
treated it. From a party view point
these speakers have been honest While
all Republicans, and especially Repub-
Hcan editorial writers, know that the
promise to bulwark the next Republican
national platform with an antitrust
plank means nothing at all is Dead sea
apples to the lips, only advanced to catch
wagering voters, not all Republicans.
very few of them, in fact, are candid
enough to admit it. Some have gone so
far, however, as to declare the tariff-bred
trusts of the present monopoly-ridden era
are a grand good thing for the country,
and should be encouraged.
Since the days when James G. Blaine
defended trusts on the stump, in his presf-
dental campaign, Democrats have fought
them. They are fighting them TODAY and
are the only party seriously engaged in a
war against them. SO far as Republican
opposition is concerned, the whole thing
is a burlesque.

SANTIAGO CELEBRATES.
Americans in Cuba Join in HonOring
Admiral Dewey.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept. 29.-Tho
Americans in Santiago de Cuba celebrated
Dewey day this afternoon. The COVER
nor's house and residences of Americans
were decorated. There was a miniature
naval parade Of yachts and tugs, together
with a general blowing of whistles and a
discharging of cannon crackers. This
evening an elaborate display of fireworks
was carried out on lighters in the harbors.
The arrival of numerous Americans since
the raising of the quarantine made the
celebration possible. AS the United States
troops have not yet returned to the city
it was necessary to engage Cuban bands
to furnish the music. The Cubans did
not, however, join in the celebration.

Commission to Sue.

Commission to Sue.
The joint court house and city hall
commission at it's meeting Of yesterday
followed the example set by the council
and ordered mandamus proceedings. This
action is directed against Comptroller
McCardy, the county attorney being in
structed to take measures to compel him
to audit certain bills for supplies. The
bills In question are one of Mannheirner
Bros for $69 13 for new carpet in the
Office of the county auditor; one of Henry
Bockstruck, $1.50, for repairing the clock
in the abstract clerks Office and one of
Carl Newman. $3.50, for painting sign
for the door of Judge Jaggards cham
bers. The ground upon which Mr. Nc
Cardy refused to pass the bills was that
they were all for the county and the
city should not be expected to pay any
portion. The assessment for sprinkling
the street around the court house was
referred to the committee on claims to
investigate as to the legality of the City
assessing the county. The bids of the
Peoples and Lake Ice companies were
laid over.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Never before in
the history of New York has this city
ever witnessed greater pyrotechnic and
cleo rical display than that with which
the return of Admiral George Dewey was
celebrated in the harbor and waters sur
rounding the island of Manhattan to-
night No more picturesque spectacle has
ever been presented to so large con-
course gathered on both shores OF the
North river as that of the great hulks OF
the battleships of Dewey's fleet, sill
houetted against the dark background OF
the sky. and shining from stem to stern
with millions of incandescent lights, Whlle
all around numerous brilliantly decorat-
ed Yachts and other river craft honored
the nations hero.
Crowds occupied every point of vantage
along the New York shore from Grant S
tomb to Ninty-pinth street. One hundred
thousand people, men, women and emil
dren, at conservative estimate saw the
illumination from Riverside drive.

The saddest thing about the whole
New York celebration is the fact that the
naval parade was in charge of Sampson,
whose fame as a naval officer rests upon
his having shot off a few chinneys at

and, while they differ in verbal express
sion and in the comical sermonizing
which distinguishes certain of them from
others, they are all attuned to show
that this people is divided into two wide
camps, one enclosing all of patriotism
and civic virtue in the land; the other all
the poltroonery and treason which are
innate in our poor, weak human nature.
According to this grinning Thereafter,
we are engaged in the throes of civil
strife Every man who does not believe
in the coercion of the natives of the Phil
ippines is a direct lineal descendant Of
the late Clement L. Vallandigham and
is intent on the disintegration of the
Union. On the other hand, those who
believe in the gospel of force, in the inn
nlacuIate influences of Hannasm and
Plattism on the progress of cur national
concerns are the consaryators Of the
nations liberties.
What a choice tribute, for instance, is
this to the mass of men who are anxious
to stay the bloody and plundering hand
which is raised to rob a struggling peo-
pie of their territory and of their right
to ordain the affairs of their own coun-
try:
Our opponents are fighting against the
stars in their courses, for they are striv-
ing to bring dishonor on the American
republic They can qualify, define, diff
ferentiate and differ all they wish, but
fundamentally their attitude is the attir
tude of hostility to the flag, of hostility
to the sailors and soldiers, of hostility
to the greatness of the naticn-the great
ness of the race.
This is but a specimen brick from the
which this mounting patriot seeks to
erect to the dishoncr d his own country
men, many of whom were learned in the
philosophy of American Institutions and
indicated their devotion to the honor Of
the flag and the great ness of the nation
before he was born-men whose rever-
ence for the good name of American in
stitutions does not permit them to re-
| main silent or inactive While the largest
| concerns of our federal system are in
the control of men who, according to
every standard laid down by Roosevelt
in his antecedent political conduct, are
the most dangerous miscreants that ever
| threatened the honor and perpetuity of
representative institutions.
No such Incorporate spouter as this
can long impose himself on any people
for anything more than what his Ian
guage and conduct stamp him as being
an ambitious and dangerous firebrand.
