Morgan Din.

Admiral DEWEY returned to this coun-
try from the Philippine Islands, arriving
in New York harbor on his flagship
Olympia September 20, 1899. On Sep
tember 30 the naval parade in his honor
was held. On the following day there
was a land parade. For these two dis
plays the city was decorated deliberately
and its population was increased by visi-
tors from all parts Of the Union. 1t was
a period Of joyful celebration, when pa
triotic rejoicings were on the lips Of
every nan and when the natural afec-
ton and respect Of an ambitious people
for its naval and military leaders had
full and free expression.
On October / the Rev. DR.. MORGAN
DIX preached from the pulpit Of Trinity
Church a sermon in which he applauded
the motives that animated America in
its war with Spain, the policy that
brought to us the Philippines, and the
war then in progress in those islands, in
which United States troops were fighting
against the forces Of A6UINALDO. The
time, the sentiment aroused by the re-
turn Of DEWEY, the temper Of the public,
worked together to make such a sermon
appropriate and to insure for it a cor
dial acceptance on the part Of the MEM
bers of the Trinity congregation and the
public in general.
In 1907 a National Arbitration and
Peace Congress was held in New York,
opening with a meeting in Carnegie Hall
on Sunday, April IA. To this gathering
delegates came from all parts of the
world. 1t had received much prelim-
mary advertising, much praise for its
purposes, and much optimistic prophecy
had been INDUCED in as TO its probable
effect on the nations OF the earth. The
United States was at peace, the heroes
Of our latest wars had ceased TO cast a
spell over the imagination Of the public,
the attractive novelty OF our Asiatic
burden had been dimmed and the mill
tary life was held by some in slight es-
TEEN. Aperson anxious merely to please,
DESTROYS only Of winning public applause,
would have chosen on this day not to
question the wisdom Of disarmament or
the probability Of a warless future.
DR.. DIX preached that day at a memo
rial service Of the Loyal Legion in the
Church Of the Incarnation. In his con-
gregation were many interested in the
peace congress. Yet so clear was his
understanding, so profound his good
sense and so abhorrent 10 him we're sham
and pretence, that in his sermon he
spoke in Mandatory terms Of the an
the honorable, the necessary art
Of war; warned his auditors against
those who decried and belittled the mill
tary profession, and asserted the absurd
Of the theory that a nation needed no
organized and armed instruments for
maintaining itself and protecting Its citi-
or subjects. His steadfast refusal
TO cloak his sentiments brought on him

Their address to the First President Of tho
United states.

slB: We have been long impatient 70 tes-
tify our Joy and unbounded confidence In
your being called. by an unanimous vote, 10
the nrst station Of a country In which that
unanlmity could not have been attained with.
out the previous merit OF uneGampled SER
vices, Of eminent wisdom and unblemished
virtue. Our congratulations have not
reached you sooner because our scattered
situation prevented our communication and
the collecting Of those sentiments which
warmed every breast. But the delay has
furnished us with the opportunity not merely
Of ~presaging the happiness to be expected
under your administration. but OF bearing
testimony 10 that which we experience a.
ready. II Is your peculiar talent. In war and
In peace, TO afford security 10 those who COM
NIT their protection into your hands. In
war you shield them from the ravages Of
armed hostility; In peace you establish public
tranquility by the justice and moderation
no lees than by the rlgor Of your government.
BY example as well rs BY vigilance you ex-
tend the influence OF laws on the manner Of
our fellow citizens. You encourage respect
for religion. and lnculcate by words and ac-
lions that principle on which the welfare OF
nations so much depends. that a superin-
tending Providence governs the events OF
the world and watches over the conduct Of
men.
Your exalted maIims and unweaTied attep-
tion to the moral and physical improvement
Of our country nave produced already the
happiest effects. Under your administration
America is animated with zeal for the attain
ment and encouragement Of usefnl. literature.
She improves nor agriculture. extends her
m and acquires with foreign nations
a dignity unknown 70 her before. From
these happy events, from which none can feel
Il warmer interest than ourselves, We derive
additional pleasure. by recollecting that you,
sir, hayo been the principal instrument to
effect so rapid a change In our political situa-
tion. This prospect Of national prosperity Is
peculiarly pleasing TO us on another account:
because, whilst our country preserves her
freedom and Independence We. shall have a
well founded title 70 claim from her Justice,
the equal rights Of citizenship. as the price
OF our blood spilled under your eyes. Of our
comnon eXertlons for her defence. under
your suspicious co~nduot-riRhts rendered
more dear to us by the remembrance Of
former hardships. When we pray for the
preservation Of them. where they have been
granted-and expect tho full extension Of
them from the Justice Of those States which
still restrict them-when we solicit the pro-
lection ofNheaven over our common country,
we neitheNom nor can omit recommending
your preservation TO the singular care OF
Divine Providence: because We conceive that
no human means are 80 available to promote
the welfare Of the United States as the pro-
longation Of your life and health, in which
are included the energy Of your example, the
wisdom Of your c%ounsels and the persuasive
.eloquence Of your virtue.

At the conference called at a local
hotel yesterday by General STEWART L.

boom, that veteran and estimable cam
paigner uttered the following jeremiad:
a." In all my long life | never saw the Republican
party In this state 30 torn and divided BY internal
dlsssnslons as il Ia at present II you think the
phrase torn apart Is too strong ! will say that the
party Is divided BY conflicts OF opinion. With a
Republican Governor. with a majority In both
houses OF the Legislature, our party divides on
bills In which the Governor Is deeply interested
and they fail to pass, We shall enter the campaign

nation and Governor to President, :
would not the melancholy conditions de-
scribed be true Of The relations between
Congress and Mr.. ROOSEVELT and Of the

Roosevelt, Beveridge, and Maybe
HObsOn.

HODsOn.
II seems to be a very satisfactory ar
rangement all around-with one doleful
exception. RICHMOND PEARSON HOB
SON hasn't spoken yet. But President
ROOSEVELT and Senator BEvERIDGE are
frankly dee-lighted with the upshot Of
the squabble over the four battleships.
They have both declared themselves, so
there can be no sort Of doubt about il.
The result is exactly what Mr.. ROOsE-
VEIL expected and all that he could have
looked for in his fOndest dreams, while
Senator BEvRRIDGE is as proud as any
pullet over her first ovarian experiment.
Presumably Mr.. HoBsoN will express
himself in like vein very soon, after
which further congratulations will be
unnecessary. Everybody worth men
tioning will then be happy.
We leave PILES aside-Senator PILES
OF Washington, or is 1t Oregon? He was
earnest and voluminous, to be sure, and
threw out gloomy hints Of tragedy; but
it was evident that BEvERIDGE in the
Senate and HoBsoN in the House were
the duly inspired and commissioned re-
positories of the Presidents confidence
and the authorized agents Of his enthu-
siasm. PILES spoke frequently and
loudly. Moreover, it may be said of
him that for a rank outsider he spoke
extremely well. But BEyERIDGE and
HoBsoN had the tip. Their utterances
obviously bore the White House brand.
Each was the alter ego Of genius, at least
for that occasion. Everybody noticed
It. SO we can wait for PILEs's ~reconcil-
iation or dispense with it altogether.
We need only 10 see HOBsoN unfurl the
corrugations Of his imperial brow and
hang upon his nov angry cheek the
smiles that caught the women Of Alabama
during his campaign against BANKHRAD
in order 10 know the whole armory of
happiness. And that will comet
Meanwhile the President is thoroughly
content. He rather likes to have Con-
gress sit upon him, it appears. He
sends the messages and the legislative
body does the rest. %BEyERIDGE fairly
twitters with a novel ecstasy. He has
had the honor Of representing his chief
upon the floor, of emitting vast floods of
language, of receiving the sings and
arrows Of the envious ALDRICH and the
sardonic HALE and Of bleeding freely in
the sacred cause. Vel may he battle
his soul in sunshine and feel the blush
Of rapture mantling on a loyal cheek.

The British Ambassador on Dcmoc-


Tacy.
1t appears from the London news
papers that although the British Ambas-
sador at Washington is himself an adj
vanced Liberal, the Unionists derive
much comfort from the speech which he
made the other day at Charlottesville,
Va, on the occasion Of the celebration
of the eighty-ninth birthday Of the Uni
versity Of Virginia and of the le5th birth
day OF It's founder, THOMAS JEFFERSON.
The address dwelt mainly upon JEFFER-
soN's love Of education, Of which Char
lottesville possesses al enduring monu-
ment, but what has excited most interest
in England was the speakers discussion
Of a subordinate thesis, Whether men
Of genius and men Of trained intelligence
would tend at the present time to be con-
sentative or liberal
It is obvious enough, as Mr.. BRYCE
observed, that the answer TO the ques-
ton depends very much upon the times
in which the men Of trained intellect
live. but what in view Of his political
Affiliations the British Ambassador was
scarcely expected to add was the admis-
sion that while fifty years ago the great
majority Of superior minds were strongly
liberal, to-day in the Old World distin-
guished men on the whole we're more
generally conservative in temper and less
heartily democratic in opinion than were
men of the same type in 1858. When we

what In my opinion constitutes a great danger In

Even In ordinary times only one person can pass

and tho door would cease TO revolve.
