"Thero could bo no more flttltip: tribute

Alba U. .lohnson. "I am clail to seo that
home one was patriotic cnoiifili to ptoposo
the erection of a monument to his memory.

CATTEt.TAS INPOKSBM KNT
Kiln a id J. Cattcll. City Statistician, said
the peoplo of thoyniteil States could find
no better expression for their apprcelatlou
of the 'sieat naval victory of Admiral
Denev than in the erection of a monument
tn hi- memory. Jlr. Cattcll said:
Tin monument hhould be raised In
this city because it was Just fifty
ears ago that Philadelphia was suc
cessful in Us fight lo have a navy
ard established nt tho oxtromo south
ern end of I! load street. Those who
opposed His placing of tho yard heie,
and are living today have seon it grow
into the greatest naval baso In tlio
whole t'nlted States. It Is fitting,
therefore, that a monument to tho
greatest admiral the navy over had
should bo placed near tho greatest
nay jard.
tiflU'ei'.i at Hie navy yard are equally en
thusiastic over tho erection of tho monu
ment in memory of their former admiral.
There ale many men at l.e.iguii Island who
weie with Admlral'Dewey in tho memorable
battle of Manila Hay, .and It Is these men
in particular that are anlous to sen some
thing in tho way of a peipeliul tribute
erected to tho gieat naval lieio.
