.Chaplain Mallley spoke /"Obligation
and Opportunity , " as follows :
Hy dim fortunes o wur a great , unsong-ht
obligation has como to us. War brought
with It unlooked-for consequences which
to us nave assumed the form of responsi
bilities. Among rhcm ( Is the Philippine
archipelago. In this crisis wo could do ono
of three things. First , leave the Islands to
Soaln. But In American hearts the love of
liberty nnd of Justice bairns too pure a llama
to allow the abandonment to despotism of
a people once shcHered by the American
Hair.
Hair.Or wo might surrender the Islands to the
natives , nut what natives ? To which of
the more than sixty tribes shall jrassesslon
be ( riven ? There , is not ono to whom the
others own submission. Those tribes , di
vided by animosities , whoso roots strike
down Into generations of bitterness , would
never uiiltte. Our friends would make
Agulnnldo president of the "Filipino re
public ! " W'hat ' Filipino republic ? Hut
these. are the only alternatives surrender
thes i fair Islands to Spanish tyranny or to
TagaJo anarchy , or keep them. And , gen
tlemen , we shall keep them.
This , then , Is our obligation. KlrHt. to re
duce this people to order. Again , wo must
provide a liberal and stable government , l
know of no more liberal government than
our own. The Filipinos will be a free i > eo-
pie , becoming more and more free as their
civilization advances. Hut our obligation
oulreaches government proportioned to
civilization. We must civilize. The same
care that Is given to the education of our
own children must l > given to the educa
tion of theirs.
Hut the question assumes a nobler phase
than that of mere duty. Our opportunity Is
groat. The Orient Is passing through a
period of political fermentation. The future
of the world depends largely upon the
leaven Infused Into this fermenting mass.
Our center of Influence and diplomacy Is
the Philippine Islands. This archipelago ,
extending from China on the north to Aus
tralia on the ( ,011th. lies across thu gate
way to the east. The. iwwer that controls
thcsn Islands holds the Orient In Its right
hand.
Aguln , the world's battle ground has
shifted from Europe to AMn. The motlvo
Is commercialism. Commerce Is the life of
nations. Our own productive capacity Is
rapidly outstripping our power of consump
tion. To furnish to labor continuous em
ployment at high rates our products must
command foreign markets. The contempla
tion of the demand for American rolling
plotItwhen China takes to railroading Is
Who believes Hint onr presence In the
cost as a controlling foreo had nothing to
do with the splendid diplomatic victory just
won by Secrctnry May ? Would the open-
door policy liiivii been posilblo before the
triumphs of the Spanish-American war ?
Ours , too. Is the opportunity to m'akt the
creation of the new Orient an evolution In-
Mead of a revolution. Our jiresenoe there
means not war. but peace. The lives wo
Jmvn lost may save the world from a deluge
of blood.
Hut If we. are true to our God-given trust
we hold In our hands the opportunity of
creating a people as capable of silf-govem-
mcnl as arc Kubrnsknns tonight.
.Stanley , S | > cnUH.
Governor Stanley of Kansas closed the
pi OKI-am with a response to the toast , "The
Republican Party. " Ho said In part :
The discussion growing out of the adop
tion of the KatiMao-Nebraahn bill and the
feeling engendered by such discussion < Hn-
rupte < l political organization. broke down
political lines , made new party alignments
and occasioned the birth of a riuw party.
Tills organization first became "national In
Its character In 1WC , under the name of the
republican l > arty , and planted Itself
Miimrely upon the principles of equal jxilltl-
cal rights. Four ypnr * later this party
cume into po.wcr uiul held that power mi-

* nd put you in good health.
Interruptedly for nearly a quarter of a cen
tury. The policy of the republican party ,
as declare * ! In Its plutfortn of 1SGO , was a
constructive ! > ollc > .
The management of the civil war wud
worthy of the genius of the republican
party and will ever stand ft ? one of the
brightest monuments of this great organi
zation.
The renl causn of the war wns the en
croachment of human slavery. There wus
one man toward whom the cyc of nil the
nation turned fur a solution of the iiueslloii.
The omnnelpntlon proclamation of Abraham
L.ncoln solved the question and the. nation
was tree. It v/ould have been a great work
to have saved the nation. It was a greater
work to save It free. The republican party
had nsHtimcul control of the government and
undertaken the prosecution ot the war with
an empty treasury.
The republican financial policy was llko
the republican policy In other regards it
wis a constructive one. The purpose of
this policy was to establish a stable cur
rency. To accomplish this the party has
been compelled to meet all the jvoiltlcnl
vacarles of the last forty years. Piotec-
tlnn to American labor and American In
dustries became one of the settled policies
of the republican party.
For a hundred years slavery had been
Inoculating our Industrial system with the
deadlv virus of free trade and It was a
herculean task for the republican party to
dentroithn effect 'of these vicious influ
ences. Democracy hud n full opportunity
In 192 to put In practice the theory of t'reo
trade. After four ye-.irs of trial of only
partial free trade the laboring1 man re
turned to. the protecting fold of the repub
lican party and has remained there ever
since.
Hut the great questions to which I have
referred have 'been settled. Wo are now
engaged In the work of building a larger
and stronger government. The original
thirteen colonies have been augmented un
til our iK > ssesslons embrace Islands and
continents In the Occident and Orient. The
achievement and triumphs of the republican
party have made It possible for this nation
to hear and to aid the cry of Cuba. If the
blessings of the new civilization arc to bo
bestowed upon the old world they must bo
bestoweil by the republican party. This
party has been the mightiest factor In the
development and achievements of the new
civilization and If this civilization is ever
established In the Orient it must be so es
tablished by the agency of this organiza
tion. That It will be so established nnd
maintained 1 have no doubt.

CHICAGO , Feb. 12. Of the 7,000 building
trades men who took their half-holiday
Saturday afternoon in defiance of the new
rules of the building contractors' council ,
one-half , it was announced by the labor
leaders , resumed work as usual on the big
buildings.
When the men quit work Saturday noon
they were Instructed to return to their Jobs
as usual , placing the responsibility of tying
up building operations on the contractors ,
who , because of the fracture of their rulea ,
wcro expected to declare a lockout. The
fact that many of the men resumed their
work today IB regarded by the labor In
terests as Indicating great weakness in the
building contractors' agreement to stand by
ono another. At the headquarters of the
contractors It was declared that the men
still at work were doing so under special
agreements in order to complete certain
portions of the work.
Operations on numerous smaller structures
arc at a standstill and will remain so , the
bosses say , till the places of the locked-
out men nro filled. To guard against
others Inking their places the union men
have 1.000 pickets stationed about the city.
A message was received hero today from
'
St. Louis announcing'thnt all unions In the

ing Trades council had been notified to
withhold their members from Chicago until

NEW YORK , Fob. 12. Secnlor Chnunccy
M. Bepow presided over nnd delivered the
principal address nt the fourteenth annual
Lincoln dinner of the Republican club , held
at Delmonlco's tonight. The dinner wan nt-
tended by over 300 members of the club nnd
their guests. A notable guest present was
Lincoln's register of the treasury. L. K.
Chittenden , who is 'now an octogonnrlan.
Among the other guests of honor were :
Abner McKlnley , Clcncrnl Alison G. McCook ,
General Samuel Thomas. ( Icupral Henry L.
Hnrnett , Attorney Ocncral John W. Grlgga ,
Congressman Robert 0. Cousins of Iowa ,
ncrlnh Wllklns and I'rof. Edwin Markham.
Senator Dcpow , before Introducing the
first speaker , addressed the gathering In part
as follows :
"It Is nn Interesting question as wo eloso
ono century nnd enter upon another to speculate -
ulato ns to who will survive the nineteenth
na the representative of what has been done
during these 100 years. Though we are only
ono century In advance of the eighteenth ,
yet all of the worthies who fill the mind
and eye of the generations of thnt period
only two are universally and commonly rec
ognized of nil men George Washington nnd
Xapolcon Honaparte. When the twentieth
Miall have been lest In the twenty-first or
the twenty-second and the story of the nJne-
tccnth is recalled , I doubt if there will ho
in the mind of the schoolboy nnd the avcrngo
man or woman any other well known names
than In Hurope , DlsnmrcU ; In America , Lin
coln.
A Century of Kiiiancl'inUoii ,
"Tho distinguishing characteristic of the
nineteenth century is emancipation
emancipation of the soul from bigotry and
dogma ; emancipation of the mind from the
formalities and dead forms of the pas ! :
I emancipation of the Individual from divine
right to govern ; from class , from privilege
and from elavery ; emancipation of educa
tion from the studlqn which consumed valu
able time without Imparting Instruction ;
emancipation from the restrictions upon the
suffrage ; emancipation of commerce , of
travel. Lincoln dared proclaim that the
United States could not.live halt free and
half slave , that one or the other must perish
and that slavery would perish nnd the union
survive , when so to declare periled his llfo
nnd threatened to ruin his political career.
Ho aroused a storm of protest , of discussion
nnd of denunciation by his emancipation
proclamation ns a. violation of the constitu
tion , even If It saved the country , only
equaled by the denunciation by the same
class of minds of the action of President
McKlnley In sanctioning the acquisition of
new territories and the Imposition of Ameri
can Institutions upon Porto Rico nnd the
Philippines.
"A student of the teachings of Lincoln
will find instructive lessons applicable to
the present conditions In the state of Ken
tucky. The situation In the commonwealth
brings emphatically to the front ono of the
perils of our Institutions. The country is
filled with horror both at the murder of Mr.
Goebel and the causes which led to It. One
crime never justifies another and the only
safety of communities Is the stern punish
ment of the criminal and condemnation of
the crime. Dismissing the tragedy , whlcK
w nil lament and vhieh was't"h'o'6unilnatlon ' !
of Kentucky's clectoftll' dlulciillles' come
at once to the lesson of Lincoln.
The whole spirit and philosophy of Lin
coln's politics was the power of the people.
No statesman ever so thoroughly believed
that the voice or the people is the voice of
God. His appeal was always to the judg
ment and conscience of his fellow citizens
nnd ho bowed with reverence to. the de
cision of the majority whan thnt decision
was clearly rendered.
( iovlu-I nml HlN lOlectlnii Linv.
"Goebel prepared and had enacted an elec
tion law , which went by his name and
whoso avowed object was to prevent the
people from having their will unless their
votes were In accordance with his wishes.
The opportunity for fraud upon the ballot
and violations of the popular Judgment was
placed upon the statute hooks of the com
monwealth of Kentucky. This crime against
liberty and popular government aroused
such Indignation among the Intelligent and
honest votois of Kentucky that they re
pudiated this Invasion of their rights by
nn overwhelming majority. Upon orders
frooi the chiefs thousands of votes -were
thrown out in different localities.
"When this wholesale slaughter of the suf
frage Btlll left a large majority against Goo-
bel und his associates 'on the arrival' 'of
the returns to tho'supreme board at the
capital , the American conscience of the
judges rnse superior to the partisan Ue-
mnnd for the commission of the highest
crime known. These two judges , standing
against thu conspiracy , which threatened
their political lives and their public careers ,
nnd ting honestly upon the law and the
facts , deserve to bo placed In the highest
position of honor In the list of patriots of
their state. Against that Judgment of
these two honest partisans GoCbcl and his
associates appealed to the legislature to USD' '
authority which that body possesses for

ple. '
"Lincoln called for 75,000 troops to Blip-
press the rebellion In South Carolina nnd
half the constitutional lawyers and Judges
of the country declared It to bi n violation
of the constitution. Lincoln sent the nrmlrs
of the republic marching along the Missis
sippi and down the Potomac and across to
Savannah to bring sovereign states within
the authority and power of the constitution
nnd of the Hag , and half Iho lawyers and
half the judges denounced It as tyranny and
usurpation. Lincoln emancipated the slaves
by proclamation , nnd Iho constitutional law
yer and the constitutional Judge of the strict
construction order could llnd no authority
for his net. But the mighty spirit of emanci
pation for which he stood nnd for which
ho was the ) noblest and most conspicuous
representative has worked n salvation for
the north nml the south nnd the cast and
the west , wMeh has demonstrated both the
elasticity of our constitution nnd the resur
rection und reviving powers of American
liberty and American institutions.

"While the surplus of highly civilized na
tions threatens the comfort and peace of
their people by over-production , we , as the
fruits of conquest and of treaty , nrc placed
at once at the doors of the limitless market

can will be smothered iy the humming of
the loom and Ihc .singing of the harvesters ;
the fear.i of the pessimists and narrow rend

Speaking to the toast , "Abraham Lincoln , "
Congressman Cousins of Iowa said In part :

"The dream of the nineteenth century was
free government democracy the thought
that civilized nnd enlightened mankind could
govern Itself and that security , progress and
endurance would attend that system. But It
wns doubted by the world even after our
independence had been achieved , doubted
when Abraham , Lincoln was horn , doubted
when a free peojilp chose him as their pres
ident. The test of rebellion had not yet
been made. Wfjnn It came most ot the old
world's intellects -volunteered the force and
Ir.Ilucricc of tholr .opinions again the possi

Mr. Gladstone , expressed a disbelief In the
possible restoration of the union. But It
should always ba remcnibcred in justice to

was being made no volte of discouragement
ever emanated from the Russian empire. "

"Our business men know that the policy
of protection IH the result of republican
success In 1890 , " said Governor Russell ,
"and they want It.contlnued until this coun
try shall take command of the markota of
the world. They believe In maintaining the
publlo credit. They believe in a central
government strong enough to put down in
surrection , to preserve order at homo nnd
command respect for our flag wherever It

the policy of expansion a policy which
shall give us wider markets and larger op

Murat HalBtcd spoke on "Tho Conserva
tive Character of Lincoln. "
"Lincoln , " said Mr. Halsted , "ha been
Idealized to such an extent there is danger
we may be forgetful of his homely , whole
some humanity. In hlu youth ho had his
period of poetry that was pathetic 'Oh ,
why should the spirit of mortal bp proud1
There was a tlmo when bis Imagination
was fruitful of fancies of somber hue. He
had years of apncsJlclEm. It was the nature
of bis mind to teat all things nnd find and
hold fast the real and the true and the good ;
and when he was the center of the darkest
storm cloud in the. world and bs | younger
boys died be had a feeling , a consciousness
that bo wanted help , formed the habit of
prayer and believed his prayers were an
swered , lie was more than tbo defender
of the union ; and yet how exalted , simple
and euro Is that title. He was In the great
est ECOBO an emancipator and the conserv
ator of his country In the glory of civiliza
tion , Tbo latest , most lasting and regret-
able Injustice ever done him ( and that is
saying a great deal ) Is lu the crude saying
that has passed nnd Is often used with the
apparent Intention of adulation , that he
died at the monies ! best for his fame. The
American people owe It to his memory that
nothing like that should fasten upon nml
endure In public opinion. Ills death was
nn Irreparable loss totho whole country.
Ho was murdered when his countrymen
most needed him. If his years could have
been lengthened they would have been more
and moro bountiful nnd beautiful In good
works and there would have been many
cuhlls ndded to his lofty stature. "
The subject of J. K. Cubblson wns "The
Coming Contest. James T. McCleary spoke
on "Tho tlnloti Lincoln Loved. "
"Tho Destiny of Our Country" was the
subject of llnrtlett Trlpp.
" 11 may ho surprising , " he said , "when I
state that , according to Mulhnll. the Bug-
llsh-spcaklng world in ISM governed nnd
controlled one-third of the earth's surface
nnd numbered within Its population nearly
one-third of Its Inhabitants , while Us wealth
exceedeJ one-half and nearly equalled live-
eighths of nil Kuropc combined , and the In
crease In territory and population ami
wealth has not been Inconsiderable since that
dr.to.
"Napoleon , with nn eye trained to ob
serve the present nnd future of nations , ' Is
reported to hnvo unit ! that Kuropc would
become all republican or all Cossack. Could
ho have observed the rapid strides made by
those two races since his day he might well
say 'tho world will soon become all Anglo-
Saxon or all Cossack. '
"In this world contest the nations of
western Europe nro the natural allies of
what wo liavo designated ns the Anglo-
Saxon race , though ns the Scotch , Irish and
Welsh people of the English nation naturally
repudiate the term 'Anglo-Saxon , ' so with
right may a largo portion of our American
peoplowho nrc sprung directly from German ,
Scandinavian , French nnd other nation
origins deny such nomenclature of their
race. Wo have , however , used the term
Anglo-Saxon in Its larger sense , na In the
case of the railroads whoso names derive
from their termini have outgrown the limits
of their origin.
"Which civilization will dominate nnd
control ?
"Tho optimist will hasten to predict that
the governments of education and liberty
will prevail. Greece and Rome thought bo
once , but their splendid civilization went
out In darkness and eternal night ; the
barbarism of the middle ages covered the
earth with gloom and despair ; learning lied
to thi } cloister * and Ignorance ruled for n
thousand rears.
"Our part In this great contest is by
no means nn Inconsiderable one. Wo have
reached a point In our national history when
ipolatlon Is no longer possible. Our re
sources , commerce and national interests
bring us into contact with the great world
of progress. Our voice has already been
heard in the congress of nntlonsi and wo
arc entering upon a career that will easily
distinguish us as the first of the great powers
of the world. We cannot , we must not.
shrink from the destiny before us. That
destiny Is a high and holy one. May the
Hag of this great and mighty nation ever
bo the symbol of liberty and Justice nnd
through calm and storm may It triumphantly
wave over our grand old ship of state.
"Thou , too , still on , O ship of state ,
Sail on , O 1'nlon , strong and great ,
Humanity with all Its fears.
With all UK hopes of future years.
Is hanging breathless on thy fate. "

WASH1NGTOX , Feb. 12. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Preparatory 'to the meeting of the
national executive1 committee of the people's
party nt Lincoln , next Monday , W. J. llrynn
hail n family gathering of Nebraska's popu
list contingent In congress In his roomo nt
I thu Mi'ti-opo'lltnn hotel Saturday evening.
1 "It was Jimt a small family dinner , " said
i pno of the S'ebraskaiu' who was present ,
i "and they vtcre nil there , Senator Allen ,
Representatives Robinson , Stark , Suther-
I land and Neville.
i "Mr. llrynu has drnlrcd to meet Ne
braska's delegation for some time In his
visits cast , but somehow or other he could
never connect Until Saturday , when he
thought thin would probably be his lnm
I visit to Washington before adjournment of
I cnngrcflo. So he got the delegation together
i In his room. Polities was not talked , nnd
i In fact we were not together more than an
hour. We vlclted together , told n few
stories nnd then separated. "
This statement Is true , hut It Is much llko
1 the lawyer's plea of confession and avoid
ance. The Dee's Informant did not tell all
thnt alther transpired nt the family dinner
or nt the quiet meeting ot the name party
held In Senator Allen's committee room In
the senate annex lat'e Sunday night , when
llrynn looked over the- building with u view
j of picking but his room should the election
I this fall go against him for president. At
' both the "family dinner" nnd Sunday night's
I' meeting In Allen's room politics was talked
nnd populist politics , too. Bryan urged at
| the meetings thnt there should be n largo
I representation nt the meeting of the na-
I tlonal executive committee at Lincoln next
week. Allen Hinted thnt he would be present ,
; ns would also Senator Hutlcr , chairman of
the committee. The question of representa
tion In the national convention was dis
cussed nt some length , but the popullet
congressmen were decidedly hazy as to what
representation was accorded several elates
In 1& % . It was finally agreed that a basis
of ono delegate to every 1,000 votes polled
for the populist ticket would be about right ,
and ns the populists are figuring on 57,000
votes having been polled by thnt party In
Nebraska last year nnd that Is claimed as
the relative strength of the party , It is safe
to neiuine that there will be anywhere from
fifty-seven" to sixty delegates from Dryrtn's
Ktnte In the national populist convention ,
with as many alternates to whoop It up for
the boy orator.
As to the qucstlo'n of platfoii-.n It was but
incidentally referred to , ono of the popu
list brethren wanting to know If the stale
convention could frame a platform in ad
vance of the meeting of the national con
vention. Bryan informed his neighbors
that In 1892 Nebraska led In platform build
ing and that the platform enunciated by the
populists that year In their state conven
tion was largely adopted by the national
convention. Information was also given
that Kansas City was not to have a walk
over for the honor of holding the national
populist convention , Milwaukee hnvglng Its
hooks out to secure the convention If pos
sible , as well as the democratic conven
tion. "You can rest assured , " snld ono cf
Bryan's neighbors , "that the populists will
not hold their convention In the same city
as the democrat ! ! . It would not bo good
policy. " 3
Senator Allen wllj leave for Llncojn next
Kriday to be present nt the meeting of the
national executive committee of the pee
ple's party and after the close of the meet
ing will go to his home In Madison for a
week.
Congressman llurket started n check to
day of $565 for Captain L. Wilson of Cccn-
pany I ) , First 'Nebraska , Lincoln , as back
pay for that soldier. He also stated that
ho had been successful in getting the su
pervising architect of the treasury to make'
a number of necessary repairs to the port-
olllco building in Lincoln , as recommended
by the inspector sent for that purpose. Ad
vertisements will bo Issued at once Inviting
bids for these repairs , which will probably
amount to $3,560. Burkct also said that the
'department would hot agree to the building
of a sidewalk around the postofllco block ,
as a bill was pending ceding the north hall
of the square to the city for municipal pur
poses.
