HONORED BY DEWEY. When the Tenth Pennsylvania troops came into sight, says a special dispatch from New York, Coventor Stone was riding at their head, carrying his hat in his hand, because he was so con stantly cheered that it wasn't worth his while to try to put it on. He was accompanied by his staff, and after him rode Brigadier General Schall, in command of the troops. The Second, Ninth, First and Third regiments fol lowed, looking more like regulars than militia, a peculiarity of the soldiers of Pennsylvania. At the end came the vet eran Tenth, with Lieutenant Colonel James E. Barnett in command. The men were in khaki trousers, blue flan nel shirts and slouch hats that looked as if they had seen really more service than any hat ought to be called upon to endure. They came in the same attire that they wore when they marched aboard the transports at Manila and cheered for the country to which they were going after their hard service. They looked veterans and carried them selves like veterans, every man of them. When they first came up, marching with a free, swinging step, all the stands rose to them and stood silent for a few seconds, taking them all in. Above them floated the flag that they had carried into battle and out again, tattered, frayed, a complicated mesh work of fluttering bits, and the proud est possession that a regiment can have. When the admiral caught sight of the Hag he took off his hat and held it down to his side, and ho looked at those worn colors as a man looks at that which he loves, and stood so, uncovered and with his face turned toward them until they had passsed under the arch. It was the most impressive sight of an impressive day, for it took the mind away for a moment from the glory of the pageant to the stern work of war. There was paid to the flag a deeper tribute than mere wild cheering. The boys returned to their homes in western Pennsylvania delighted with the success of their trip. An amusing feature of the political campaign in Pennsylvania is an ef fort made by Democratic politicians and their allies to create the impres sion that the visit of the "Fighting Tenth" to New York was worked up "o aid Colonel Barnett in his canvass tor state treasurer. Inasmuch as Colo nel Barnett's election by an immense majority is already assured, the lidiculous character of this story must be apparent. The expenses for the trip of the Tenth were met by sub scriptions from friends of the regi ment who did not propose to have the boys kept at home for the mere mat ter of their transportation. Their en tertainment in Philadelphia was pro vided by the Third regiment anil $1,500 was appropriated by the Philadelphia city councils. If the enthusiasm over the Tenth drew attention to the can didacy of Colonel Barnett the cause of patriotism and good government is not likely to suffer thereby. AS TO STATE ISSUES. Sound ill Monirers Mnko No Impression Wit li Heckle-is and Falsi. Statements. "Bryan's servile follower, W. T. Creasy, the Democratic candidate for state treasurer," says the Wilkesbarre Times, "is anxious to make the cam paign on what he pleases to term issues' and then he proceeds to create them by his fertile imagination and reckless tongue. Creasy and his in surgent friends are positively reckless in their dechi rations that the people have been 'robbed of millions upon millions under machine misrule in tha state treasury.' This is simply ab surd, and no one knows it better than those who utter a tale so false. Not a one red cont has been stolen. Not dollar is missing. The books are straight, and 110 direct charge has ever been made or a single item pointed out as being wrong. We ask, therefore, wherein is there a state issue for the treasurershlp? "These scandal mongers know that old methods no longer exist, and so if the objection is to old methods the ground is cut from under their feet. The Republican legislature, it will bo remembered, inaugurated a perfect re form in the method of banking money. All moneys must be deposited and upon these deposits interest is paid, all of which goes into the stats treasury. What issue is there over that? It is a mere question of electing an honest man, and we have yet to hear any one questioning the probity CI uie |iißoUJit lutuu-k'-.i ... the character of Lieutenant. Colonel Harriett. r lo our mind the real ques tion for the voters to decide is whether the great Republican state of Penn sylvania shall be turned over to the Demoprats on the eve of a presidential eledtibn. Whether the anarchistic and destructive views of Bryan as repre sented by Creasy shall prevail in pref erence to the sound financial policy of McKiuley as presented by Barnett. We think we can forecast the result in this the Keystone state of the Union." i» Kif n New York's Honors to Dewey the Crowning Event in American History. THE FESTIVITIES CLOSE The Great Three Days' Reception Carried Out With Few Mishaps and no Fatalities The Admiral Affected lo Tears- II is Voice Trembles When Speak ing of the Honor Done Him—Ma jor-General "Miles and Otlior Men of Prominence Talk About It. New York. Oct. -Creator New York, after having spent almost a full week of time, bubbled over with en thusiasm and spent money enough to establish a hundred national banks, in her welcome to Admiral Dewey, con gratulates herself that she has success fully carried out the crowning event ot the nineteenth century, and that she has bestowed upon a worthy hero the grandest reception ever tendered an in dividual in the history of the world. Those who were officially responsible for the success of the celebration, leel particularly elated over the iaoi (hat during all of the l'esthiiies which were witnessed by at least 11.U00.00U visitors, there wore no accidents ol a startling nature, and not a single life was lost to mar the pleasure of the occasion. Nearly all oi the visitors have return ed to their homes ami the city has again taken on its everyday appearance of a hustling centre til' business acti vity. The work ol removing th" deco rations, tearing down stands, etc.. lias commenced, and within lorty-eight hours New York will look practically the same as she always does when not dressed up in holiday attire. Admiral Dewey, whose courage and bravery were so manfully demonstrated in the ••little unpleasantness" between the Spanish and American fleets in Manila Bay. has also demostrated the lact that lie is a tender hearted man as will. The attention shown him and the l.ind and patriotic wonts showered upon him by city and state officials, re ception committees, school children, and the visiting multitudes in all walks of lite, affected him to tears on more than one occasion, and while he says that he was glad when it was over, he cannot talk of the great display of friendship and hospitality without his voice trembling with emotion. Before taking the train for Washing ton when; another reception awaits him. the Admiral said he had not been fully informed as to what lie would have to submit to over at the National Capital, init if lie was to be treated 110 worse than New York treated him. he thought he might be able to undergo a couple of more days of it.after which lie would goto the houie of his brother in Vermont and take a short rest. Saturday Kvenlng's liaiiquel. The men behind the guns o! the olympia had their particular innings in tin- celebration in the evening at the Waldorf Astoria, anil though tliev were rather leg-weary after marching in the long parade the smoker, buffet-lunch and vaudeville performance arranged for their enjoyment was doubly attrac tive. There were 4.">0 j.'tckies at '.lie smok er: U.">i 1 from the Olympia. LTi each from tin' ships in Sampson's squadro!' the New York. Brooklyn. Texas. Massachu setts and Indiana—and 7~> from :>'l the other naval vessels in the parade The smoker was begun at s o'clock, and the lunch, which was really some thing more, was served the first thing. All kinds of sandwiches, lobster, chick en, potato and herring salads, many special confections, contrived by the chef. .Vesselrode pudding. Neapolitan cream, fancy cakes, coffee and nuts, were served, also whiskey and beer to drink and cigars and pipes to smoKe. There was no limit to anything. While the sailor boys were enjoying their fttli amid the splendors of the brilliant ballroom the vaudeville was going 011 under the direction of 1 tscir liammersteiii. Anna Held. Marshall r. Wilder, •lames ,T. Corbett and his sparring pr.rt ner, .loe Kennedy, Louise Beaudci. the Ilawthornes. Marie Dressier, Rxra Kendall, Falletti's monkeys anil :i host of special artists furnished ,111 admir able show. The boxes were Idled with army and navy officers, their families and other guests of tlie city. Itandolph t3uggenlieimer made a short speech of welcome to the jnckies, tendering them the freedom of the city. Miles Praises the Reception. In an interview after the reception was brought to a close. Major-Oeneral Nelson A. Miles said: "It was tlie grandest thing I have ever seen. Certainly it surpassed any thing in the way of a reception lo a mail of the people in the history of this country. It was magnificent, and New York hns more than reason to feel proud. "I attended the Queen's Jubilee in London, and have no hesitancy in say ing that as a spectacle our parade was far superior. There may have been more spectators in London —011 that point I cannot speak authoritively lint in point of impressiveness and enthusi asm the occasion could not stand com parison with ours. "What Impressed me most in making a comparison between the two occa sions was the difference between the arrangements for handling the crowds and the crowds themselves. The Lon don crowd might more properly he call i'd a mob. The police arrangements were eutirely iuadeauate.
