of having served two preceding terms , bu

stltutlonM amendment preventing re-electlo

advocating the adoption of his report In It

ratified by the convention , a nunibjr of tliei
wera referred to the tupervlslon of the su
pr me afllcers. The report ot the committee

the presiding officer's chair , before taking his
seat as temporary chairman ot the commit
tee ot the whole.

ADDUUSS 01TATflKlt I.AMI1EHT
Hid Rolngy of thn Spirit nnd Chnractor ot
I lie Citthullo Knight * .
It was unanimously decided yesterday at
the Catholic Knights convention that the ad
dresses of Father Lambert and Most Rever
end Archbishop Gross , delivered dur
ing the sojourn ot the knights In Omaha ,
be printed In the official organ of the order.
The following Is the address nf Father Lam
bert , which made such ft decided and favor
able Impression with the delegates at the
cathedral :
'When I behold this grand assembly before
me , with your supreme spiritual director ,
the most reverend archbishop , to preside ,
with so many distinguished clergymen to do
you honor , and with men right beneath this
pulpit who have fought and bled upon battle
fields , with so many representations ot that
honorable body ot noble men , the Catholic
Knights of America , my mind takes Its night
back to bygone years , when the holy placed
of Jerusalem were being doeecrated by the
Turks and Mohammedans , and when the holy
father , the supreme pontiff , gave his blessing
to a holy men ot Qed , to go forth and stir the
hearts of Catholic Bui-ope , to fly to th * rescue
of these Christian brothers In the punt , and
take possession ot the holy land. He come ,
that man of God , I'eter the hermit , pate and
thin and emaciated , by long prayers and
severe penance , with the snows of many
winters upon his venerable hem ] , and when
he spoke the multitude hung upon his lips ,
and as he described the abomination of deso
lation In the holy places he stirred the hearts
of his hearers. Their lips gave vent to the
feelings with which tholr warmed hearts were
filled , nnd a shout went up to God , and to
heaven. 'God wills It ; Gc-J wills III' and
the cross was seen upon every shoulder of
every brave heart ; and they went to Jerusa
lem , either1 to conquer or to die.
FOR THE CHURCH'S DEFENSE.
"In our day Wio battles of the church ore
not fought with sword or cannon. Her ene
mies , grown" wiser and more cunning , look
not to bloodshed but league together Into
societies for the great purpose of doing away
With her Christianity , Impugn her doctrines ,
persecutes her children In secret and by vile
political machinations , and therefore the
holy mother church lodks t < 5 3er Catholic
societies as her great means of defense.
She desires that all her true and staunch
and faithful children should leagud together
In Cathollo societies , who Shall stand Up
shoulder to shoulder , and breast to breast ,
all ot one mind and one will , for truth ; for
good , for God , for church , for country.
"As I'eter the Hermit knelt at the feet of
the holy father to rccclvo Ma blessing to go
upon his grand mission to the Catholic na
tions , so I , though most unworthy , knelt at
the feet of your supreme spiritual director ,
the most reverend archbishop , who came so
lovingly from afar to preside over your meet"
Ings that by Jils sacred blessing God might
glvo mo strength and power to stir your
hearts unto the good cause , as Peter the
Hermit stirred the hearts of the crusaders.
"I feel a holy pride Iri addressing you , the
Catholic Knlgtita of America , on this great
occasion In this temple of God. God bless
the man who so hnpplly thought of your
name tile Catholic Knights ot America !
This name Indicates what you should be.
"First and foremost Catholic with a heart
as broad and vast and universal as the world
ready for Christian charity and Christian
help wherever you may bo called upon to
exercise It.
"Catholic ! That means with your mind
thoroughly Imbued with the eternal and dl-
vine principles of your cliurch , the princi
ples of everlasting and divine truth which
Jesus Christ , the only true model of genuine
manhood , brought into this world , these
principles that must Ho nt the foundation of
nil societies that doslro to be lasting and
enjoy a real Christian character.
"Catholic ! It means with a heart ever
true to your church , as to the rock of ages ,
ready todo battle 'for ' her , * not by the
sword but by your word * and above all by
your Irreproachable Christian conduct.
NEXT TO PRIESTHOOD.
"Then you are Knights. What Is knight
hood ? Well , friends , In the church It Is , next
to the priesthood , the noblest office. See a
man endowed with a lofty mlnil , and pos
sessed of a noble heart ; with hi ) powerful
muscular frame , emblematic of the great
soul that dwells within. At dusk he wends
his way to the grand old cathedral , whose
mighty bell la pouring out Its deep and mel
low tones. Ho enters , he spends the night In
fasting and prayer. At early dawn he approaches
preaches holy communion. The bishop
blesses him and his sword , he dons the
military cloak and helmet. Ho Is a knight
of the holy mother church. Ho vows to
stand by her , ever to defend truth nnd Just
ice and honor , to be ever ready to draw his
sword In defense of church or state , and
above all , In defense of what Is noblest and
most heroic , In church or state , to defend
oven nt the risk of his life , the honor and
vlrtuo ot woman. You are knlgbts ; Catho
lic Knights , but of America. Yes ; fair
America.
"I have not come here to natter you , brother
knights ; God knows that what my lips utter
comes straight from my heart as I feel It. I
do admire all countries. They have
across the oceans great empires , great king
doms , great republics , all great In thenr-selves
possesesd of wealth of wise laws , cf civiliza
tion and of culture ; but glvo me before them
all our own great republic , our United States
our America , fol she Is greater than all the
others. For freedom and for th : broadmindedness
ness and Intelligence of the people she stands
at the head of alt nations.
CHURCH AND CONSTITUTION.
"Cathollo Knights of America , with the
eternal principles ot the divine doctrine o
our church and with the masterpiece of hu
man governments , the constitution of the
United States , you are Invincible , Imprjgna
ble. May God grant It. The doc
trine of your cliurch makes you
mlndi unerring and the noble dcument
the constitution , grants you tli ? free exerc'se
of your religion according to the dictates o
your conscience. These two are the mighty
pillars upon which the constitutions of ycu ;
society should be based , for anything elsi
would be treason to God or to country , nu
remember well , brother knights , that no mat
ter how grand the principles of the church , o
ot the constitution may be , they will be o
no avail unless you reproduce them In you
conduct. Follow these principles In your do
liberations. You have come to hold meeting !
In these meetings follow those grand prlncl
pies."The
"The strength cf your society lies In union
Us destruction or downfall In Individual Im
portance , or self-seeking. Deware cf thst > a
the most dangerous recks upon which you wll
come to griff unless you avoid them. Le
not the moneyed man or the personal friend
or relative or party feeling carry you away
Look at the -holy mother church. She find
a young man , the son of a street laborer , poor
scantily clad , almost Ignored. She finds tha
God has given him brain ? , and a staunch
pure , moral heart. She takes him from th
street ; she leads htm to her seminaries ; sh
ordains him to the priesthood and opjns he
sanctusry doors. It Is character , nobility o
mind and heart that make the true man , anc
there Is a proper subject for your vote. Vet
for the man who has brains and a firm will
who stand * above bribery , who overlooks sell
InUrest ad has l heart only the good am
vrelfara ot your society.
"Another danger you muit avoid Is th
spirit of nationality. YOB are to remembr
It well. Catholic Knights of America , not o
France or Germany or Ireland or Spain o
Italy ; either you are native of this grea
republic or you gave up all allegiance to th
land of your birth and have iworn solemn
allegiance to the constitution. lie true t
your country. Unless you with the downfal
ot your society , vote not for a candldat
becauia he li German or Irish or French , o
belongs to any nationality , but vote tor him
who Ms , as you know , a staunch and tru
upholder of the constitution ot the Unltei
States of America. Desplsa tbtt natlona
feeling -which lows discord In cliurch anc
state and Is sure to brine about schism ani
separation. Havt no cliques or privai
drclis ; olds not the truth ; let selMnteret
never a ay you , and you will be worthy
members of that great body ot men who hav
the most appropriate nirae that any Catholic
society c n have , the Cathollo Knights o
America.
"Brother knights , on * word more : Stan
together as brothers with one heart am
with one mind. I > resent to the world a
unbroken and InvUclbte pbatinx of tru
Catholic knights and you answer far u
rlests every question against the secret
ocletles.
'AhI ' why should they hlfls the truth and
oreswear their moral freedom ? If their
nda and purposes and means are o praise
worthy and philanthropic let them scatter
hem broadcast all orer the world : let them
not hide them , but publicly proclaim them ,
nd wo will all join.
HEAT THE SECRET SOCIETIES.
"If you , my Catholic brothers , are what
you should be , and I doubt not but you are
oyal and true , you render useless the ex-
ilence of all secret" societies , and we have
> ut one answer to give to all those who
peak to us about joining any society , namely :
foln the Cathollo Knights of America that
noble band of Catholic knights. They have
ill the advantages and Insurance of other
ccletlcs and have no secrecy , for that which
s honorable and purS 10V09 not darkness.
"Catholic knights , you are to do battle
gainst those Infamoils leagues of men , who
boast of their Americanism , and under the
cover of that word want to deprive you nnd
me , simply because we are Catholics , o' the
God-given right bestowed on us by the con-
tltutlon to serve God according to the dlc-
atcs of our conscience. They wish by
underhand machinations to chase you from
ivery position Of trust because you are Cath
lies.
"Stand by our flag ; yes , as Catholics wS
ake It , we lay It upon our hearts. As n
.jflest I furl It around my head and ask you
all t& do your sacred duty to your country
by the great power you have the ballot. Let
no party spirit , no nepotism , no glitter of
gold carry you away , hut vote according
o the dictates of your conscience , according
o the grand principles of your church and of
.he constitution. Then you will share In their
Jtrength ; you will do your duty afe Catholic
knights of Anierlca. ftlid as such my prayer
goes up to heaven that your society may last
as long as the church , together with our
> eloved country.
"Catholic knights of America , look up ta
your banner. It Is the blazing cross , a * It
shone In the blue sky ot heaven. In hoc
stgno Vlnces 'the cross and the flag , the
stars and the stripes , the noblest standard
and banner that God over gave to man. He
true td them , and In them and by them you
shall conquer. "
The brief but Interesting address of Arch
bishop Gross , which became so popular that
t Was unanimously ordered printed In the
official organ Is lii part as follows :
"It must bo remembered that In all ages
it the church the Cathollo laity have worked
n union with the clergy for the welfare of
iflly religion , for the good of nations. Indi
viduals might be mentioned existing from
earliest ages. Justin , the martyr , Doetlus did
grand service. The most terrific struggle tor
3hrlstlan civilization was surely the long nnd
errlble efforts of Mohammcdanlsnl to destroy
Christianity and reduce Europe to the awful
condition of Asia Minor , northern Africa and
other Mahommedean lands.
TitElR WORK Itt dERMANY.
"At the preaching of Peter , the Hermit ,
at the exhortations of popea and bishops , the
Catholic knights of every land rallied to the
front and Christianity nnd the world was
saved. In our own days the terrible storm
of the Kultur Kampf broke over Germany.
The Catholic Germans guided by their bishops
united under the leadership of such Immortal
Cathollo gentlemen as Mallnkroot and Wind-
lorst , boldly entered the terrible struggle
With such a power as Prlnco von Bismarck.
And if the Catholic church of Germany now
enjoys her freedom It Is owing to the gallant
conduct of the Catholic laity of Germany. I
can point also to Belgium. In tha dreadful
ffort of Infidels to'destroy the Cathollo rights
n that noble land once more the Catholic
ally united , defeated the enemy's attack and
saved the liberties of the holy church In
Belgium.
"And while we all regret that In fair
? ranca the liberties of the holy chtiroh are
so trampled under foot , we know that our
loly father , the great Leo XIII , , has voiced
he opinion of the Catholic world when he-
urged the Catholics of France to Imitate
.heir brethren ot other lands and unite In
one grand Catholic party , which could soon
sweep overboard the Iniquitous oppressions
that now weigh down the holy church in that
country.
In our favored land we have felt no need
Ike that which has befallen the Catholics ot
other regions. - ,
"And hence our laityhava too often seemed
to think that they have nothing , or can do
nothing to promote holy religion in our granrt
republic. They have loft almost entirely all
to be dona by the clergy. Yet there have
jen some Catholic laymen who have done
yeoman's service. I need mention only such
a name as that of Orestes A. Drownson. To
promote this public Catholic spirit among our
people , I know of nothing better than this
organization of Catholic national societies.
And among all such societies , for true , brave ,
spirit , loyalty to our holy faith unrivaled ,
stands the Catholic Knights of America. "

Under dale of Mar * 13 , nn Innocent ap-
tearing circular made .Its appearance In the

lurllngton , John Sebastian of the Ilock 1st-
i ml and George H , HeafTord ot the Milwau

ndlcated , attached to It. It wan a most
noffonfelve looking bit ot paper , but It shows
hat thord Is an African nestling among the
cord wood some plafte. Tha circular Is ad
dressed to connecting lines and reads :
"Your attention Is respectfully called to
he following modifications ot previous ad-
rices , which W6 find necessary to protect
iur local business. ,
"Kor the homeseekcrV excursions of May
11 and Juno 11 rate from Chicago to Omaha
l be $16,85 ; the eama rnto will apply to
my points beyo'nd which can be routed via
3rnalm to which the one way rate is less ,
"Hates from Interior ponts : to and via
3mnlia wilt also carry a minimum of $4.10
ilgher than the one tare rate to Omaha. No
through rnlo to bo less than $7. "
Within twciity-four hours ot the receipt of
.his fclrcular It Was known In cfammcrclal cir
cles that Omaha had been discriminated
against In favor of her ancient enemy to the
southward , Kansas City , the rate from Chicago
cage to Kansas City- and return being $12.75
ns against a $10.85 rate from Chicago to
Omaha and return.
REASON OF TUB HAILUOADS.
A representative of one of the Chicago
lines when asked the reason for this un
heard of arbitrary of $4.10 , and speaking for
the other Hues , said : "The rate to Omaha
from Chicago and return has been made be
cause experience hai shown that on the
last excursion business was not Increased by
I per cent , either through Kansas City or
Omahai as a result of hpmeseekers' excursion
rates. This means that on a $12.50 rate
we did no more business than on the reg
ular $25 rate. Experience has taught us that
a $12.50 rate from Chicago to Kansas City
and return against a ! $16.85 rate from Chicago
cage to Omaha and return docs not mean
a gain to the1 first or 'a loss to the second.
We hate also nscertatned that 90 per cent of
the round trip tickets from Chicago to either
Kansas City or Oliiahif * we're scalped on the1
last excursion , and this action on the part
of tie Ghlcago-OmallA * lines was taker ! to
corfservd Revenue. rpWas desired to iriake
the sarrte rates fi'om"-Cnligo ( to cither Kan
sas City or Omaha , btcates It Is a principle
held by Chicago-Omaha < nrids that Omaha
should take the samb rates as Kansas City
when It Is at all practicable. It wa Im
possible , however , to > 'ptttf rates Into Kansas
City on the same basis as Omaha , on ac
count of lines not reaching Kansas City , but
reichlng territory south 'of ' that point , that
refused to raise their ritw , thereby Influenc
ing a lower rate to Kansas City. "
NOIITHWESTEUN'S'1 PAllT SURPRISING.
Take the four roads concerned In making
this rate fcr Omaha , 'anu It will be conceded
that tha Uurllngton has , Iarger Interests In
Nebraska than Kansas , pr Missouri ; the Rock
Island luu very neary"as ) much Interest In
Nebraska as Kansas ; the Northwestern Is
Interested wholly In .Nebraska , not having a
single Interest In Kapsasr while the Milwaukee
kee- baa abqut , as muchJiUerest In Kansas'
in Nebraska , and' that b'ierest Is pretty well
"
known to , the people"of Kansas City and
Omaha. The eurprlse of It all Is that the-
Northwestern should have fallen Into line
with the -other roads mentioned , when. It It
so desired. It could have brought the Omaha
rate ! down to the Kansas City basis instead
of advancing the rate $4.10 In order to con
serve revenue , although It Is well known In
railroad circles that Kansas City Is a hot
bed of demoralization constantly , and that
quite as many tickets were found In the
bands of brokers during the last twenty
days as a result of the harvest homcseeken'
excnrslon of April 30 as were taken op In
Omaha.
A representative of the Commercial club
who Is decidedly warm over the creation of
an uncalled for arbitrary by fhe Chicago-
Omaha roads , on hearing the reasons as
signed by tha mouthpiece of the lines cen
tering here , said : "On the theory that an
ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of
cure the argument of the general passenger
agent alluded to might be accepted , but as
$4 Is not the required cunce of prevention
or anything like It , It scorns to me the argu
ment may be classed as a plea In abatement.
It Is admitted that there Is more business
to and through Kansas City than to and
'through Omaha , therefore the position taken
by the railroad manipulator Is InconsUtent ,
It being simply a case ot stopping up the
bunghole while the leak continues at the
faucet , for naturally a person would expect
protection to be thrown around the largest
volume of travel.
FENCED THE WRONG LOT.
"If It Is really protection they were after ,
then It occurs to ma they have protected the
wrong gateway. No railroad man will dis
pute the fact that regular rates are and have
been , the same to Omaha from Chicago as
to Kansas City and that this principle ap
plied to regular business , which Is the vast
volume of business , should In consequence be
applied t.o special or excursion business , which
Is an Infinitesimal part of the regular bus
iness.
"It , therefore , looks to me like an arbitrary
exertion of power to put a $4 fence around
Omaha , while Kansai City Is permitted to
graze wherever she pleases , It further ap
peara to me as if the Omaha-Chicago lines
had utterly failed to subserve their Omaha
and Nebraska Interests when they allowed
tha Chicago-Kansas City lines to make a
$4 leas rate for their Kansas City and state
of Kansas business. The position that this
action places some of th * Chicago-Omaha
lines In Is Inexplicable when you take Into
consideration that the Chicago-Omaha lines
have their Chicago-Kansas City connection
as well , barring the Northwestern , which
has absolutely no Interest In Kansas City
or Kansas.
"It also looks as If'the1 Kansas City brokers -
ers , who are BO muclM ared , have succeeded
In getting a bulge onthtjlr Omaha brethren
and have stood In with 'the railroads to make
thli rate In their ifavor and against the
Omaha scalpers. It-may'tie ' that this $4 ar
bitrary on excursion business to Omaha ant
Nebraska has been b'rought about by the
fact that one ot tlte < ! hlcago-0maha lines
still has on hand some/ltTckets / from the last
excursion which the' $4 prcmutum on the
next excursion , May'2l.-ito ' ' Omaha and Ne
braska points , will ehaljla1 them to work oft

Th * three failures of .the Northern Pacific

Speech of the Kx-l're lilcnt to the New
. .lornpjIflatnrlcnl Sorlnty.
Last Thursday , as chrorilcleil In The Dee's
dispatches , the New Jersey Historical society
iresented ex-President Harrison a gold medal.
The program , said that "tills medal was
struck by the New Jersey Historical society
.0 commemorate the foundation of the const- !
.ntlonal. government of the United States
and the Inauguration of Washington as the
first president , April 30. 1789. " Mr. Horrlsoti
arrived In Newark at 2:0'J : p. m. Some SCO
nen gathered at the Market strest station and
chefred the e-x-preSldent as ho al'ghted from
a sleeping car , accompanied by lila private
secretary. Tlun he was escorted to the Es-
iex Lyceum , where the medal was. The hall
jontalneil about EOO people , who applauded
with Voice and hands as Mr. Harrison
iscended the platform. On the stdge were
Mayor Lebkuocher , Adjutant deneral William
3. Strykor , who Is vie ? president of the his-
: orlcal society ; Messrs. Murphy , Miles and
lackson anil President Samuel H. Pennlng-
( on.
President Scott of Rutgers presented the
medal nnd Mr. Harrison spoke In reply. He
said In part :
"I wish I could have come to participate
with you In th6i Interesting exercises under
circumstances' more' auspicious. The whirl
and hasts of a thousand miles by rail has left
my head a lltlle unsteady. ( Laughter. ) It la
travel only ; nothing else. ( Laughter. )
"It Is a most Important and useful work
n which this society Is engaged. H furnishes
to your children the material upon which
their patriotism may feed , and while I sot
the love of the union , the great arch that
binds the state , above the love of state , yet
I do believe that a prldo In one's own state
and nelghborhool Is a wholesome Influencs
always for good. ( Applause. )
"Within the last two years It has falloln
In my way to renew and to extend earlier
studies In connectloln with the formation ot
the constitution of the United States. I had In
nilnd the honorable and advanced position
taken by Now Jersey before and In the con
stitution convention Jo which allusion has
bean made. I have itrdoubt that It hod In
part Its origin In the broad statesmanship
and thought of some of your leading men , but
[ here can bo no doubt that the adherence of
New Jersey to the doctrine of a national con
trol of all Impost duties was greatly stimu
lated by the fact that New York , across the
bay from you , had laid onerous duties upon
the product of the Jersey farms ( laughter )
as well as upon the cordwood that comes
down the sound from Connecticut. ( Laughter. )
"So It Is , however , that our thoughts are
often turned In the right direction. In a di
rection that Is not selfish , but broad , by some
Individual experience. I almost tremble as I
read the story of the formatloln of our na
tional union. Fortunately God gave us In
those times many men of broail Intellect ,
many men who were capable of rising above
the mean and selfish Interests ot the locality ,
to take In with the sweep of their thoughts
the great horizon of a national life. And yet
wo are amazed to find how long and how
solflshly some states that had peculiar com
mercial advantages struggled against the es
sential and necessary thing. One would
have thought that men did not need to be
much above the state of Imbecility to see
that thirteen tyrants were Impossible ( laugh
ter ) and yet , as I have said , It was a
strenuous and protracted fight to secure this
concession to the national government.
"I recall , gentlemen , with pleasure that
great trip through your etate In 1S89 , when
with every demonstration of honor to the flag
and of honor to those who for the time
being holding public offlco the citizens of New
Jersey and of New York worthily commemo
rated the establishment of the national union
and the Inauguration ot the civil government
under the constitution ,
"It will be to me a great pleasure to add
this medal , which your society has so gener
ously voted and which this society's repre
sentative has so graciously presented to other
souvenirs of a great occasion. ( Applause. )
"And now , my countrymen , one word , Tills
society , as I have said , Is organized for retro
spect , but a retrospect that Is full of Instruc
tion and that takes hold ot the future. If
these Incidents of early Ufa In New Jersey
wera merely reminiscences , or If you did
not find In the example of these pioneers and
In the example of these heroes In war and
these leaders In civic thought Inspiration for
the future , your society-would have a less
worthy subject of study and pursuit. Hut ,
my countrymen. In all these things there Is
Inspiration. Wo are taught a lesson that
should Influence us as citizens In dealing
with these great questions that are before us
now for settlement , ( Great applause , ) We
shall not lese hope of the right solution of
every public question. Wo shall not Jose
hope that the glory of the dag shall be
augmented as the years go on , ( Applause. )
Wo shall not lese hope that the granite foun
dation upon which our government has been
established shall endure so lone as we find
In the hearts of our fellow citizens veneration
for these who framed this government and
love for those who died that It might be es
tabllshed. " ( Loud and continued applause. )
Two hundred Jerseymeri shook the ex-pres
Ident's band , and then ha slipped away anil
came to New York ,
To a reporter who suggested , "You wouIU
accept a nomination In ' 96 , would you not ,
general ? " ho replied ; "Don't ask mo to dis
cuss politics on a historical occasion. "
Another reporter asked : "Have your views
on the silver question undergone any change
recently ? "
"Nona whatever , and I was not aware that
I had expressed any , " was the prompt retort.

cuaaton here today was the Joint debate here
nst night between the two f.tmoVs champions
o ( the opposing sides ot the money question ,
'for. J. Laurence Liughlln and William S.
larvcy ( "Coin" ) . The lateness ot the hour
> revehted the general public Until today
rom getting even an Inkling ot what was
rinld , and the Interest In the details ot the
affair was correspondingly ithetted. One comment -
ment today Is thai U wns ndt until Mr. Har
vey had been speaking fully twenty minutes
hat the audience gave any strong manifesto
Ion ot appreciation. The first Instance was
when ho spok ot the "white metal" and tha
'colored" metal , nnd claimed that the ' 'white"
metal should be restored to parity with the
"colored" inelal , "without regard to race or
previous condition of fterfltude. " This pro
duced loud npplausft ami laughter , and brc-ka
lei. Hut the speaker reached his highest
point tvheii ho Indirectly likened Cleveland
and Sherman to donkeys , and 1'rof. Laughlln
nqulred of the chairman whnlher person
alities wefo not barred. Hut Mr. Harvey re-
orted that his language was Justified by ( ho
relation of the goveniinent to the llothschllds
and the hall rang with applause. From that
ime It was apparent that Mr. Harvey had
jultc a number ot sympathizers In the audi
ence.
Prof. Laughlln was listened to with oven
roller attention thdn Mr. Harvey. His
address wna remarkably fluent , calm and
self-possessed , and he picked up nnd answered
the points ot his antagonist with businesslike
rapidity , while the audience kept n running
Ire of laughter. Ills recurrence to the bridge
Iliistrntlon especially met with enthusiastic
pproval. When Chairman Thomas announced
hat refreshments would bo served below the
audience hastily adjourned , and no vote was
nken on the resolution debuted.
The speakers both seemed pleased with
heir performances. Lyman J. Gage nnd
others thought the debate an nblo and profit
able one , J. 3 , P. O'Ucll and other called
t "a hippodrome. " Quite a number of per-
ions made no secret of the fact that they
tnevr no more about the sliver question than
hey did before. Hut all agreed that the
debate had been a highly entertaining event.

sides verbatim. Is to b printed In pamphlet

Their llonnity.
SALT LAKE , May 18. The silver confer
ence Just before adjourning unanimously
adopted the following report of the committee
on resolutions and address :
To the People of the United States : We
desire to say that the people whom we
represent are not un aggregation of thieves
seekingo ( swindle hone.it creditors with
50-cent dollars. There arc no more patriotic
citizens of the American republic tlinn
those active , earrtest , energetlt men nnd
women who have left the comforts of their
eastern homes to build the highways of
national progress In the far west. If they
believed that the complete restoration of
silver would operate as nn Injury to the
country ns a whole or nn Injustice to any
clans , regardless ot Its local effect In this
western region , they would at once and for
ever abandon the demand.
"The greatest good to the greatest num
ber , " Is their motto , and It Is In this spirit
that they. Irrespective of party nnillntlortl
present themselves almost n * a unit , d-
mundliiff the free coinage of silver and
gold at the ratio of sixteen ounces of silver
to one ounce of gold with full legal tender
functions according to each and no dis
crimination against either.
It Is not as silver miners , but as citizens
of the republic , mindful of Its every In
terest , that we take this position.
The representatives from California , Ore-
Ken nndVyomlnff , which produce little erne
no silver , feel that their people have been
as deeply Injured by the demonetization of
that metal as those living' In any state or
territory In which , silver mining Is a lend
ing1 Industry.
In makingthla demand -we ask for noth
ingnew. . The monetary system of this
country was founded not upon Kold alone
not upon silver alone but upon both xilver
nnd cold at a certain ratio to each other ,
with no limitation upon the coinage of
cither , and each standing upon equal foot-
Inp before the law.
The system was founded by Hamilton ,
sanctioned by Washington and Jefferson ,
Its wisdom and Justice questioned by none
until the year 1873. In that year , without
notice to the people , the standard silver
dollar was dromwd from the coinage of
the country anu every debt therein exist
ing , public and private , aggregating thou
sands and millions of dollars , was niado
payable In gold alone.
Men that have intelligence enough to
comprehend Its slftnlltcaiice and still oppose
the undoing of that wronb' .should be exceedIngly -
Ingly careful how they accuse other people
of Ulshonssty.
It was the great "money power" of the
world that thus stealthily destroyed the
time-honored monetary system of our coun
try. Those men who own and control vast
sums of money and debts payable In money
understood that if silver could be destroyed
by stopping Its coinage and limiting-
legal tender , their claims thus being nay-
able exclusively In cold | l or Its equivalent ,
the gold Itself would become more Valuable'
They understood perfectly th.it n cold dollar
lar with a silver dollar by HH side Miarltif ;
Its functions and meeting part of the de
mand was nn entirely different measure of
values from what that gold dollar would be
standing alono. They knew that by the
Inexorable law of supply anil demand the
value of gold must Inevitably ) ! &c , \\lillf
thq value of every other species .of prop
erty must Just as certainly fall.
This is exactly what has taken place.
Tliu business of the world Is done upon a
money baala. It Is measured In terms of
money ,
