The Will Of New York.

1t is recognized fact that cities have
their indiyidualitysju just as people do. and
that they manifest their emotions in very
much the same way. The behavior of New
York during the last few months. with re-
gard to various persons and things con-
eeEned in the late war, indicates that there
is something infantile in the character of
that city.
When it was known that Dewey was to
return TO this country in the near future
New York Immediately raised a cry that
he must land at that port This was a
claim entirely justified by the fact that
New York is the metropolis of the eoun
try and it's greatest seaport, as well as a
city closely allied with the early history of
the colonies. Moreover, had Dewey landed
at San Francisco he would have been

a snrfeit Of celebrations. Besides all this
Manila is so situated that the length of the
journey is nearly the same whether the
traveller comes to Washington by way of
San Francisco or the Suez Canal.
But New York is not contented with the
things which obviously fall TO her share
in the general triumphal festivities. She
insisted that the Raleigh should be sent
up for her to see in spite of the lively pro-
tests of Southern cities. which argued that
the Raleigh belonged to them. There was
