WELCOME DEWEY /!
He Is Greeted as no Hero Ever
Was Before.

New York, Sept. 27.-Such spectacles
as the progress of the Olympia from
Sandy Hook to her anchorage at the
head of the White Squadron. off Temp
kinsvillc to-day, belong 90 history.
Through frolicking whitecaps the
beautiful war ship Olympia moved ma
jestically up the lower bay and passed
through the picturesque strait. guarded
by Forts Wadsworth and Hamilton.
Amid the booming of great guns in
side the city gates, Admiral Dewey and
his gallant tars received the glorious,
thunderous welcome of the steel-walled
men.ofwar as their stately ship glided
up 10 her position ut the head of the
column, there to remain until the great
naval pageant starts on Friday.
Never, perhaps. did a triumphant war
rior returning from victorious cam
paign receive more impressive well
come.
Although thousands upon thousands
witnessed il from shore. balcony, win
dow or house-top, and the n-of war
anchorage ut Tompkinsville. where the
fleet lay. fairly swarmed with tugs,
yachts. and steamers and every sort of
harbor craft. all jet black with wild,
cheering. exulting people, and the tow
cring white walls Of the city beyond
were brave with million welcoming
flags. To-day's greeting to Dewey was
the greeting of his comrades of the
navy.
And it was eminently fitting that his
comrades in arms should have the first
chance at him whom the millions are
waiting 10 honor
The big days of the cele bration are
today friday and Saturday A mil
lion strangers are in New York wit
Messing the great parades and enthusi-
astic demonstrations in honor of Ad-
miral Dewey.

NEGRO VOTERS!
A COiored Doctors Advice to them
is Wholesome.

The Baltimore SIM of last Monday
contains the following article from one
of the most prominent colored men Of
Baltimore:
"Dr. J. Marcus Cargill. colored, form.
er City Councilman, in speaking yestcr-
day of the negro vote, said its division
was the political salvation of the negro,
"When the negro comes to understand,
he continued, "that he should take adj
vantage of his environments and make
to himself friends of his white neigh
bors. with whom he has To live. he will
be protected in his political rights. IL
the white man finds that the negro is
reliable and trustworthy. voting with
the people whose interest is the same,
choosing only the best man for office,
he will be respected at the ballot box
and his will rs expressed assured
II would advise every negro voter in
the South that when it comes to State,
municipal, or county affairs, he should
vote for the best man without regard To
politics. | cannot see any reason why
all colored men should belong 70 one
party any more than all white men
should belong to one party. Let the
negro find out his best friend. who
gives him his bread and butter. and
vote with him To the best interest of all
concerned. aud the white man will see
that it is To his interest tn treat him as
II do not believe that the white man
of the South is naturally unfriendly to
the colored man. On the contrary, if
the two races are left alone they will
find grounds of true friendship and the
two races will work together in the re.
building of the material interest of the
country.
1T is very nearly agreed by every
true leader of the negro race that the
time has come when the negro should
divide his vote between the two great
political parties, especially so on all To-
cal questions, thereby showing that
few dollars cannot buy his vote; neither
can he be turned aside by few papers
which are existing ON the money they
received from politicians. If politi-
clans would keep their money i'll their
pockets and take the negro on his mer-
its the negro would he better citizen
