"On the reverse side of the great seal of the United States, authorized by congress, June .20, 1782, and adopted as the seal of the United States of America after its. forma tion under the federal constitution, is tlie ipyramid, signifying strength and duration. The eye over it and the motto allude to the, many .sig nal interpositions of Providence in favor of the American cause. The date underneath. 1776. is that of -the Declaration of Independence, and the words under it signify the beginning of a . new American era, TY IKA.! I ViAiiV' IIVV.O KUUV VA(Arl. . .

In peace we have been sig nally blessed, and our progress has gone on unchecked and ever increas ing in the intervening years. In boundless wealth of soil and mine and forest nature has favored us, while all races of men, of every na tion'ality and climate,, ha ye con tributed their good blood to make Trom 3,927,214 "in 1790, 5ur population has grown to upwards of fi2.000.000 in 1890. and our estimated population today, made 77,803,231. . We have grown, from .13 states to 45. We have annexed lerory variety of territory, from the tf.erai ireefs and cocoa-nut groves of Ke WLest to the icy regions .of Kor-thern Alaska territory skirt ing; the. Atlantic, the .Gulf of Mex ico, the Pacific and the Arctic, and tbj& ila,nds of th IP.aific and Carib bean sea, and we ihave extended sti.H further our jurisdifiion to the iwt&w&f iiimd8 ia Pacific. Qw? . territory is more .baa ifour times as large as it was a;h.en tthe treaty of peace was signed in Our industrial growth ha-;beA' even more phenomenal than that' of popiilation or territory, . Our wealth, estimated in 1790 at $464, OOO.WO, has. advanced to $65,000, 000,000. .... . .: "Education has not been over looked. The mental and moral equipment of the youth on whom will in the future rest the responsi bilities of . government have held the unceasing and generous care of the state and the nation. ' We ex pended in 1897'98 in public educa tion open to all, $202,115,548; for secondary education, $23,474,683, and for higher education for the same period, '$30,307,902, The number of pupils enrolled in public schools in 1896-97 was 14,652,492, ,or more than 20 per cent of- our population. Is not this a pillar of Strength to the republic? . l.Qur national credit, often tried, ibas beon ever upheld. It has no superior and no stain, The United Stetes has never repudiated; a na tional obligation, either to .its .cred itors ox to. humanity. It will not now begin to do either, It never Struck a blow except for" civiliza tion, and never struck its colors. ''Has the pyramid lost any of its Strength? Has the republic lost lin' of its virility? Has the self governing principle been weakened? Is there any present menace to our stability, and duration? These questions bring-but one answer. The- republic is , sturdier j- and stronger than ever before. - Govern ment by the people has been ad vanced. Freedom under the flag is more uiversal than when the Union was formed. Our. steps have been forward, not backward. : . From Plymouth Rock to the Philippines the " grand ;; triumphant rmarch of human Hherty has never, paused. ' ;. "Fraternity and imiori are deeply imbedded in the hearts of the American people. For half a cen tury, before the civil war, disunion was the fear of men of all sections. That word .has gone out of the American vocabulary; It is spoken now only as a historical memory. North, South, East and West were never so welded together, and while they may differ about internal poli cies, they are all for the Union and the maintenance of the flag. , " ' ;"Has patriotism died out in the hearts of the people? Witness the 250,000 men' springing to arms And in 30 days organized into regiments for the Spanish war, a,nd a.;000,000 more , ready to respond; -and the more recent enlistment of 70,000 men, with many 'Other thousands anxiousito enlist, but whose services were snot' needed. . Has American iieroism declined? The . shattered and sinking fleets of , the Spanish navy at Manila and Santiago, the charge of San Juan and El Caney, and the intrepid Valor and deter mination of our gallant troops in more than 40 engagements in Luzon at test, the fact that the American soldier and sailor have lost none of the qualities which made our ear-lhiE-army and navy illustrious and invincible. - ' ' . - '"After 123 years the pyramid stands unshaken.. It has had some severe shocks; but it remains im movable. . It has endured the storms of war, only to be stronger. It stands .firmer and gives more promise of duration than when the fathers made it .the symbol of their faith. May we. not feel' assured that if we do our duty, Providence, which favored the undertaking of the fathers and every step of our progress since, will continue his watchful care and guidance over us, and that the, hand that led . us to our present plane will not relax his grasp till ? we : have, reached the glorious goal he has fixed for us in the achievement of his end?"; -"' So I conclude by saying that this nation has been greatly - blessed, and at this . hour we are a united and prosperous and patriotic peo ple,' And may that Divine Provi dence who has guided us in all our undertakings, from the inception of the ' government, continue his gracious and assuring favor to us for evermore." - - ''- " ' Dewey's greatness does not rest alone on the famous battle in which he destroyed an enemy's entire fleet and shore batteries in a few hours, without the loss of a man or ship. .Aside from it. and his mar velous preparedness before the bat tle, we must remember his supreme devotion to duty from May 1, 1898, to May 20, 1899, when he never left Manila bay for more than a few hours to recover from the heat, responsibilities and cares; his tact and diplomacy, mingled with firm ness of dealing with foreign squad rons; his own good management of relations with the; Filipinos, so that they both feared and respected him; his perfect harmony with the army; the conduct of the affairs of his squadron and of other matters with remarkable executive capacity, and finally, his simplicity of character, his unaffected nature, and his modesty of act, manner and word in face of great renown and the lavish love and esteem of the Ameri can people... The chief effect of so much praise has been to make him gentler in thought and disposition and to evolve the trained sailor into the great ' man. His principal charm lies in being one of us, as it were, not above and beyond, but with and of those around him. " If his feelings on this occasion were to be honestly stated and his char acter delineated at the same time in one sentence, it; could be said that he comes' home to us with his heart, not his head, swelled." . E very war in our history has been the .making of a president, but-in this case the military or naval hero will ;have :to Wait . for years, as President McKinley likes "his job very much, rand .the politicians of the republican party are satisfied with him. Telegram. . - At Little Rock, Ark,, ta.man has been sentenced to imprisomnent for 115 years. If there had no'tibeen mitigating -circumstances in his 3a vor, he might have been sentenced for life, ' It is folly to talk of Dewey ac cepting the presidential nomination on an anti-expansion ticket. He did not fight on .that side. He is a patriot and stands by his country. After Admiral Dewey has taken a brief rest, Mark Hanna and Mr. McKinley may conclude that they need him badly for governor-general of the Philippines.
