DEWEY FOR PRESIDENT.
A st. Louis Journal Advocates His
Nomination.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 22.-The "Globe' to-
morrow, in a leader, will advocate the
nomination of Admiral Dewey by the
next National Democratic Convention.
The Globe" will say: 'The hour has
come and the man is here. Sailing over
the sea from the far East is the colos-
sal living figure of American history,
man with a hand of iron, heart or
exquisite tenderness, a sense Of honor
which has led him through more than
three score years along the path OF
eternal right; man who knows little OF
politics and has mingled less with poll
ticians; a man who has decided the
questions before him with the sword
and the scales of justice with all nee
essary speed, and with as much mercy
as possible to the fallen foe.
THE. Democratic party has but to
make this man the magnet of the cam
paign upon a platform of living prin-
ciples, the central planks of which shall
be death to the trusts and autonomy
for the Philippines, Cuba and Porto
Rico. Upon this platform can stand
the most popular man of the Western
Hemisphere, the idol of the greatest
nation on earth. George Dewey, hero OF
Manila Bay and Admiral of the Ameri-
can navy"

closer I fired and killed another. The
time consumed in devouring this one
was short, and they were soon on us
again. I kept killing them all along
the road and the pack would stop each
time and eat their dead companions.
Finally, as we reached the outskirts of
the city of Moscow I noticed I had run
short of ammunition, and was indeed 1

number of times l had fired I think
must have killed at least forty. I was
a dead shot those days, and every time

my friend to slow up and we would kill
them with the butts of our rifles. AS
they came nearer we noticed that they
appeared to be very much worn out.
We got out, and as they came closer
dealt mine a blow which laid him out,
but my friend was not so lucky and re-
ceiyed a severe bite on the leg, and af-
ter some time I succeeded in disposing
of the remaining wolf.
We put them on the sleigh and
skinned them as best we could. When
we reached our destination we related
our adventures at the tavern: they
were listened to with laughter. We
showed the wolves we had killed and
still were not believed. Shortly after
other parties came in and related a
story of having seen the skeletons of
at least forty wolves, and after investi-
cation it appeared they had come over
the same trail we had. They said that
they had seen no live ones, however.
Then our story was believed. From this
it would appear that the two we had
killed had devoured the other thirty
nine. My friend is at the present time
in Europe, but any one who does not
believe this story can satisfy himself
as to it's authenticity.-W. De Forest

his books, his dogs (Freestone and Mi

DR.. Iliff Speaks On Mormonism.
Atlanta Constitution.


DR.. 7. G. Tiff, of Salt Lake
City, one OF the committee of
three appointed by the Evan
gelical churches of Utah to
file with Congress a protest
against the seating OF Con-
gressr an-elect Brigham Rob-
erts, arrived in Atlanta yes
terday. Last night he deliv.
cred at Trinity Methodist
church to a splendid audi
ence, a lecture upon Mormon
ism, and the remarkable &C
tivity that church is now dis
playing n -ehe missionary
field. His talk was an able
and effective arraignment of
polygamy.
The Mormons have 1900
emissaries at work through
out the country at the pres
ent time, says DR.. Tiff. And
it is in the south particular
ly, that they are moving en-
ergetically to secure converts.
New England, however, and
J the middle states, are not be-
ing neglected.
In the spring, he says, they
propose to double this force,
and begin a house to house
canvass. So unless the Chris.
tian churches take active
steps to combat their propa-
ganda, the entire country
will soon be Overrun. And.
it is with the view ofstarting e
such an anti-crusade, that
he has visited Atlanta, and
other cities.
These emissaries, Dl. Tiff
declared las1 night, lead ma
ny good men and women as
tray by yelling the true facts
of their doctrine, and present
ing it in a really attract ve
light. Having, however, liy-
ed among them for twenty
eight years, he is thoroughly
ia mlliar with all the tenets
and traditions Of the sect.
He says they are simply hor-
rible, and it ia his purpose to
expose them as they are.
Polygamy, he said, is being
rapidly restored n Utah.
And this assertion he sup
ports with a statement, that
1900 cases of it have recent
ly been fauthentically estab-
lished and the county records
Of the state show that l 900
children have recently been
born of plural wives.
