Washington, D. C.—At a lime when the

ff the return Of Admiral George
lion at gallant the
Dewey a nd his men ou cruiser
Sfto and the magnificent reception ae
them, the Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt
Talmage- L his s «r ,non . preaching to a
st audience, appropriately recalls for
devout and patriotic deeds of oldeu purposes and some of the
e . lt naval more recent
times. Text, James ili., 4, “Behold also
the ships.” exclamation was appropriate about
If this when it written
W72 years ago, whs con
cerning the crude fishing smacks that sailed
I Lake Galilee, how much more appropriate
in an age which has launched from the dry
docks for purposes of peace the Oceanic of
the While Star line, the Lncaniu of the
Cuuard line, the St. Louis of the American
line, the Kaiser Wilhelm dor Grosse of the
North German Lloyd line, the Augusta Vic
toria of the Hamtmrg-American line, and
jn ;in age which for purposes of war has
launched the screw sloops like the Idaho,
the Shenandoah, the Ossipee, and our iron
clads like the Kalamazoo, the Roanoke and
the Dunderberg, nud those which have
ready been buried in the deep., like the
Monitor., the Housatonic nnd the Wee
hawKen, tbe tempests ever since sounding
a volley over their watery sepulchers, and
the Oregon, and the Brooklyn, and the
Texas, and the Olympia, the Iowa, the Mas
sachusetts, the Indiana, the New York, the
Jlariettn of the last, war, and the scarred
veterans of war shipping, like the Consti
tution or the Alliance or the Constellation,
that have swung into the naval yards to
spend their la 9 t days, their decks now all
silent of the feet thut trod them, their rig
ging all silent of tbo hands that clung to
them, their portholes silent of the bruzen
throats that onootbundered out of them.
Full justice has been done to the min
who at different’times fought on the land,
but not enough has been said of those who
on ship’s deck dared and suffered all things.
Lord God of the rivers and the sea, help
me in this sermon! So, ye admirals, com
manders, captains, pilots, gunners, boat
swains, sailmakers, surgeons, stokers.mess
mates and seamen of ail names, to use your
own parlance, we might as well get under
way nnd stand out to sea. Let all land
lubbers go ashore. Full speed now! Four
Dells!
It looks picturesque and beautiful to see
a war vessel going out through the Nar
rows, sailors in new rig singing,
A life on the ocean wave,
A home on the rolling deep,
the colors gracefully dipping to passing
ships, the decks immaculately clean and
the guns at quarantine firing a parting
salute. But the poetry is all gone out of
that ship as it comes out of thkt engage
ment, wheeihonse its decks red with human blood,
gone, the cabins a pile of shat
tered mirrors und destroyed furniture,
steering wheel broken, smokestack crushed,
a hundred pound Whitworth rifleshot hav
ing left its mark from port to starboard,
the shrouds rent away, ladders splintered
and decks plowed up and smoke blackened
and scalded corpses lying among those who
are gasping their last gasp far away from
home and kindred, whom they iove as
much as we love wife and parents and chil
dren.
Oh, men of the American navy returned
from Manila and Santiago and Havana, as
well as those who are survivors of the
naval conflicts of 1863 and 1S64, men of the
western guif squadron, of the eastern gulf
squadron, of the south Atlantic squadron,
of the north Atlantic squadron, of tbe
Mississippi squadron, of the Pacific and squad
ron, of the West India squadron, of
the Take Potomac flotilla,' hear our thanks!
the benediction of the churches. Ac
cept the hospitalities of tbe nation. If we
had our way, we would get you not only a
pension, but a home and a princely ward
robe anil an equipage and a banquet while
you Jive, and after your departure a
catafalque and a mausoleum of seupltured
marble, with a model of tlie ship iu which
you won the day. It is considered a gal
lant thing when in a naval fight the flag
ship with its blue ensign goes ahead up a
river or into a bay, its admiral
standing in the shrouds watching and giv
ing orders. But I have to tell you, O vet
erans of the American navy, if you are as
loyal to Christ as you were to the govern
ment, there is a flagship sailing ahead of
you of which Christ is the admiral, and He
watches from the shrouds, and the heavens
are the blue ensign, and He leads you to
ward the harbor, and all tlie broadsides of
earth nnd hell eannot damage you, and ye
whose garments were once red with your
own blood shall have a robe washed and
made white in the blood of tlie Lamb.
Then strike eight bells! High noon in
heaven!
While we are heartily greeting and ban
queting the sailor patriots just now re
turned wo must not forget the veterans
of the navy now in marine hospitals or
spending their their old days in their own or
children’s homesteads. Oh, ye vet
erans, I charge you bear up under the
aches and weaknesses that you still carry
from the wartimes. You are not as stalwart
as you would have been but lor that nerv
ous strain and tor that terrific exposure.
L 0 t every ache and pain, instead of depress
ing,remind you of your fidelity. The sinking
of the Weehawkeu off Morris Island, De
cember C, 1863, was a mystery. She was
uot under fire. The sea was rough.
But Admiral Dahlgren Iron the deck
of the flag steamer Philadelphia
saw her gradually sinking and
finally sho struck tho ground, but tho
nag still floated above the wave in the
*’ght of the shipping. It wns afteward
found that she sank from weakness
through plates _ injuries in previous service. Her

times. So you have in nerve and muscle

All those of you who were In the navRl
service during the war ol 1865 a,re now In
the afternoon or evening of life. With
some of you it is 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 4
o’clock, down. C o’clock, nnd it will soon be sun
If you were of age when the war
broke out, you are now at least CO. Many
of you have passed into the seventies.
While in our Cuban war there were more
Christian commanders on sea and land
than in any previous conflict, I would re
vive in your minds the fact that at least
two great admirals of the civil war were
the Christians, Foote and Furrugut. Had
Christian religion been a cowardly
thinp with it. they In would its faith have they had nothing to do
lived and died.
In Brooklyn navy yard Admiral Foote
held prayer meetings and conducted a re
vival on the receiving ship North Carolina
and on Sabbaths, far out at sea, followed
the chaplain with religious exhortation.
In early life, aboard the sloop-of-war
Natchez, impressed by liis tbe words of a Chris
tian sailor, lie gave spuretime for two
weeks to tbe Bible, and ut the end of that
declared openly, “Henceforth, under all,
circumstances, I will act for God.” His
last words while dying at the Astor House,
New York, were: “I thank God for all His
goodness to me. He has been very good
to me.” When he entered heaven, ho did
not have to run a blockade, for it was
amid the cheers of a great welcome. The
other Christian admiral will be honored
on earth until the days when the fires from
above shall lick up the waters .from be
neath and there shall be no more £ea.
Oh, while old ocean’s breast
Bears a white sail
And Gcd’s soft stars to rest
Guide through the gale,
Men will him ne’er forgot,
Old heart of oak—
Farragut, Farragut—
Thunderbolt strokel.
According to his own statement, Far
r tgut was very loose In his morals In early
manhood and practiced all kinds of sin.’
One day he was called into the cabin of his
father, who was a shipmaster. His father
said, “David, what are you going to be
anyhow?” He answered, “I am going to
follow the sen.” “Follow the sea,” said
the lather, “and be kicked about the
world and die in a foreign hospital?’’
“No,” said David; “I am going to com
mand like you.” habits “No,” will said the father;
“a boy of your never command
anything.” And his father burst into tears
and left the cabin. From that day David
F’arragut started on a new life.
Captain Pennington, an honored elder
of my Brooklyn church, was with him in
most of his battles and had his intimate
friendship, and he confirmed, what I had
heard elsewhere, that Farragut was good
and Christian. In every great crisis of
life he asked and obtained the Divine di
rection. When in Mobile bay the monitor
Teeumseh sank from a torpedo and the
great warship Brooklyn, that was to lead
the squadron, turned back, he said he
was at a loss to know whether to ad
vance or retreat, and he says: “I prayed.
‘O God, who created man and gave him
reason, direct me what to do. Shall I go
on?’ And a voice commanded me, ‘Go
on,’ and 1 went on.” Was there ever a
more touching Christian letter than that
which ho wrote to his wife from his flagship
Hartford? “My dearest wile, I write and
leave this letter for you. I am going into
Mobile bay in the morning if God is my
leader, and I hope He is, and in Him I
place my trust. If He thinks it is the proper
plaee for me to die, I am ready to submit
to His will in that as all other things. God
bless and preserve you, my darling, and
my dear boy, if anything should happen to
rue. May His blessings rest upon you and
your dear mother.”
Cheerful to the end, he said on board the
Tallapoosa in the last voyage he ever took,
“It would be well if I died now in harness.”
The sublime Episcopal service for the dead
was never more appropriately rendered
than over his casket, and well did all the
forts of New York harbor thunder as his
body was brought to the wharf, and well
did the minute guns sound and the bells
toil as in a procession having lu its ranks
the President of the United States and bis
cabinet and the mighty rneucf land andsea
the old admiral was carried, e.ju’.d hun
dreds of thousands of uncovered piTlow heads on
Broadway, and laid on his cf dust in
beautiful Woodlawn, September 30, r.mid
the pomp of our autumnal forests.
We hail with thanks the new generation
of naval heroes, those of Uie year 1898. We
are too near their marvelous deeds to fully
appreciate them. A century from now
poetry and sculpture and painting and his
tory will do them better justice than we
can do them now. A defeat at Manila would
have been an infinite disaster. Foreign
nations not over-fond of our American in
stitutions would have joined the other side,
and tho war so many months past would
have been raging still, and perhaps a hun
dred thousand graves would have opened
to take down our slain soldiers und sailors.
It took this country three years to get
over the disaster at Bull Run at the open
ing of the civil war. How many years it
would have required to recover from a
defeat at Manila in the o t *ning of ttie
Spanish war I cannot say. uod averted
tho calamity by giving triumph to our
navy under Admiral Dewev, whose coming
up through the Narrows of New York har
bor day before yesterday was greeted will by
the nation whose welcoming cheers and
not cease to resound until to-morrow,
next day in the capital of the nation the
jeweled sword voted by Congress shall be
presented amid booming cannonade and
erabannered hosts, und our autumnal
nights shall become a conflagration of
splendor, but the tramp of these proces
sions ana tbe flush of that sword and the
huzza of that gieeting and the roar of
those guns and the illumination of those
nights will be seen and heard as long as a
pt ge of American history remains inviolate.
Especially let the country boys of
America join in these greetings to the
returned heroes of Manila. It is their
work. The chief. character in all the
scene is the once country lad, George
Dewey. Let the Yermonters come down
and find him older, but the same modest,
unassuming, almost bashful person that
they went to school with und with whom
they sported on the playground. The bon
ers of all the world cannot spoil him. A
few weeks ago at a banquet iu England
soiue of the titled nobiemen were af
American , mmister . .
fronted because our
plenipotentiary associated the name ot
Dewey with that of Lord Nelson. As well
might we be affronted because the name
of Nelson is associated with that of our
most renowned admiral. The one man in
all the coming ages will stand as high as
the other. So this day sympathizing with
all the festivities aud celebrations of the
past week and with all the festivities and
celebrations to come this week, let us
______thunk anew God and those heroes of the
American navy who have done such great
things for our beloved land. Come aboard
tbe old ship Zion, ye sailors and soldiers,
whether still in the active service or hon
orably discharged and at homo having re
sumed citizenship. And ye men of the
past your last battle on the seas fought,
take’ from me, in God’s For tbe name, few remaining salutation
and good cheer. and hell make
fights with sin and deaths
ready. Strip your vessel for the fray. Hang
the sheet chains over the side. Send down
the topgallant masts. Barricade the wheel.
Big in the flying jib boom. Steer straight
for tbe shining shore, and bear the shout
of the great Commander of earth and
heaven as He eries from the shrouds, “To
him that overcometh which is will in the I give midst toeatpi of V-j
the tree of life Hosannal
paradise of God. : ’ Hosanna!

Xotlitng New Under the Tent.
I wandered to the circus;. I sat be
neath the tent and saw the man from
Borneo, likewise the tattooed gent. I
heard the toothless lions howl, while
men In spangled clothes stepped fear
lessly into their deas and whacked
them on the nose. I saw the sacred
elephant spout water through his
trunk, the salamander eating lead and
other melted junk; I heard the merry
clown get off' the jokes we used to
know when we were boys together,
John, some twenty years ago. The
same old horses waddled ’round the
same old kind of ring; the same old
comic vocalists proved that they
couldn’t sing; the same old hippopota
mus wns grunting with disgust; the
same old Persian ox was kicking up
the dust; the same old rheumatic acro
bats crawled painfully around, and the
ossified contortionist was crawling on
the ground, and ladies rode barebacked
steeds to music, sad and slow—the
same old girls we used to see some
twenty years ago.—Minneapolis Mes

One of the obstacles In the way of
State ownership of the arid lands, and
their Irrigation, should uot be over
looked by those who favor that policy.
This Is that wnters which originate lu
one State frequently flow through sev
eral other States and Territories, and
for one of these States to impound
such waters would lead to endless com
plications. head
For instance, in Wyoming the
waters of streams exist which flow
luto or through seventeen States and
Territories. The water supplies of Ne
braska eannot be preserved except by
reservoirs In Wyoming, Nebraska ean
not build them in Wyoming, and Wyo
ming will not Nevada must be largely
irrigated from watersheds lying in
California, from the eastern slopes of
the Sierras. One of the largest arid
regions lu the United States Is the
Colorado Desert, in Southern Cali
fornia. This great expanse of fertile
soil, which only needs irrigation to
make it productive, could only be irri
gated by water from the Colorado Itlv
er, every drop of which flows in other
States than California.
Nor would the question end here.
Even Mexico would have to be consult
ed in considering plans for an extensive
system of Irrigation. The only way
out of the difficulty is for the Federal
Government to store the water and to
distribute it, under proper restrictions,
upon the lands which the Government
now owns.—Los Angeles Times.
