O Mores! O Temporal Senator Hoar Plea For Jvsttee. Here is a paragraph from Senator Hoar's great speech, than which few, very few, finer erer fell from hum?n Upn- I commend It to the boys of thi land as a thing to be treasured up and committed to memory: Mr. President Our friends who take another etew of this question like to tell us of the mia tak cf creat men of other days, who hare vain ly fTOtested a?alrt acquisition of territory. Ons worthy and most exuberant gentleman ia another ple points out to his hearers the folly of Web ster and Clay, the delusions of Charles Sumner aad contrasts them with the wisdom of Jeffersoa and Tyler nd Polk. Mr. Jefferson declared that the acquisition of Louisiana was unconstitutional and wanted a constitutional amendment to Justify lt 1 think the general sense of the American people Is that in that particular Mr. Jefferson waa in rror and that our power to admit new states clearly involves the power to acquire territory from which new states are to be made. I wonder, however, if there be any man now alire who nov hole or who erer did or ever will hold a .seat In either house of congress willing to say that, hav ing taken an oath to support the constitution, ha would, for any purpose of public advantage, for aweir himself for the sake of a real or fancied goo to his country. I hope and believe that the epirit of Fletcher of Ealtoun, who said he would die to serve Scotland, but he would not do a base thirg to save her, is still the epirit of American Statesmanship. That exuberant gentleman con trasts the statesmanship of Polk and Tyler with that of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay and Charles Sumner. Somehow or other the names of Welter and Clay and Sumner live in the hearts and on the lips of their countrymen, while the mer, who brought on the Mexican war in the in terest of slavery ar forgotten. I do not think we bear of men .building statue to those coun selors or celebrating their birthdays or writing their lives. In all generations the statesmen who hare appealed to righteousness and justice and freedom hare left an enduring place in the loving memory of their countrymen, while the men who have counseled them to walk in the path of in justice and wrong, even it it led to empire and even If they were in the majority in their own day, are forgotten and despised. Ah, Mr. Presi dent, that gentleman says we are the anointed of the Lord, as Xhe J?ws were the anointed of the Lori. Cut the Jewish empire is forgotten. The eamia of the desert cover the foundations of her cities. The epider spins its thread; the owl mal.es its midnight perch In their palaces. But still those little words: "Thou shalt not steal; thoi shalt not covet that that is thy neighbor's; whatever ye would that men shall do to you, do ye even so again unto them," shine through tha ages, blazing and undimmed. Mr. President, yoii may speculate, you may refine, you may doubt, you may deny, but the one foremost action in our history, the foremost action in all his tory. Is the waiting upon its pages those simple and sublime opening sentences of the Declaration of Independence. And tlie men who 6tand by it shall live in the eternal memory of mankind; and the men who depart from it, however triumphant and successful in their little policies, shall perish and be forgotten or shall be remembered only to be despised. ' Coming Statesmen. One purpose of these letters Is to in troduce to the notice of my readers the rising members of the house, especially new and young Democratic representa tives who g've unusual promise of fu ture eminence. In the great debate on the armor plate feature of the naval appropriation bill a trio of young Dem ocrats showed forth resplendent Wil liam Walton Kitchin of North Caroli na. Charles Kennedy Wheeler of Ken tucky and -Williard Duncan Vandlver of Missouri. They put up a magnifi cent fight for the people and led the Democrats to a notable victory. The noosier Republicans had hardly adjourned their more or less perfunt tory state convention before the spring municipal elections were held, in which the grand old party was the recipient of a most righteous but most astound ing walloping. The Porto Rican bill did It: the Philippine Imperial propa ganda did it; the Cuban scandals did it; the Macrum exposures did It; the Hay-Pauncefote treaty did it; tbeGage nepbtirn dark and damnable perform ance did . It- the administration's pro English tendencies did it: it's evident lack of sympathy with the heroic Boers did it; the pro-English gold standard bill did It: Mark Ilanna's ship subsidy bill did It; Colonel John W. Gates' bold and brazen trust caper did it; Bever Idge's speeches did It; Fairbanks pres idential aspirations did it; Governor Steele's thrilling oration on shirtless Caribbeans did it: but, whatever did It. the Democrats of Indiana didn't do a thing to the Republicans! Oh, no! They trampled them in the mud; that's alb Qnay and Haana. In some respects General Charles Henry Grosvenor of Ohio Is the Tin luckiest of mortals. The newspapers are always pestering him. They rep resented him as publicly congratulat ing Senator Mark II anna on the un doing of Matthew Stanley Quay, where upon the general publishes a card avowing that when he fell, figurative ly at least, on Mark's neck In a public place it was to thank that great and good man for some kind and compli mentary remarks iersonal to himself. Whether Quay will believe the expla nation I am not authorized to say, as I am not In the confidence of the Keystone boss. Lord Byron says, "Sweet Is revenge, and far stranger things have happened in this world than that ex-Senator and ex-Chairman of the? National Committee Quay should find some way of evening up the score with Senator and Chairman of the Na tional Committee Hanna. It .may be that he will avenge himself on Mark's protege, William McKInley, or he may be satisfied with defeating Mark's ship subsidy bill. If the newspapers are to be believed, that palpitating patriot. Senator Tom Carter of Montana, med itates the latter method of revenge for Mark's part in taking off his friend, the late senator from Quaysylvania. It would be awful on the Republicans to lose that $180,000,000 steal, but not 60 bad as to lose President McKInley. Rats Instinctively leave a sinking ship. Senator Wellington of Maryland deserts the Itep'.ibllcan party, or, more correctly speaking, he claims that the Republican party has deserted him. Anyway, he announces that he will not train with the McHannaltes this year. It affords great and genuine pleasure to a lover of his country and his kind to observe the multiplying signs of disintegration now manifest ing themselves In the grand old party, whose battlecry has so long been, "The old flag and an appropriation!" Soma Good Adfice The New York Journal suggested to the great missionary couacil that met the other day that it send soma exper ienced missionary of the Ecumenical Congress to the darkest, New Jersey and labor with the officers of the Philadel phia A Kea ding railroad who compel their coal shovellers to work on Sunday in violation of the state law. These officials, who ignore the law, are church members who know how to pray, and who would feel horrified, if, adjoin ing their summer homes, some farmer should harvest his crops or . plough his fields on Sunday., , . Let the worttiy missionaries forget the heathen for a brief time, and on Sunday next go over to Port Reading or South Am boy. They will see men be grimed and soiled, and brutelike, forget ting God in their efforts to support their families by violating the law in shovelling coal from the barges and cars on the Sabbath. , It is said that the work done - by these men on Sunday could quite as well be postponed for a day, but the railroad of ficials will not permit it. Of what avail is it for capitalists to pass the plate and to make donations for the heathen of foreign countries when . they raise and and perpetuate colonies of heathen in their own land? . And what peculiar twist of New Jer sey justice will give them the right to violate the statutes without paying the penalty? Business.

This conversation was heard between two republicans: "McKinley ain't a bad candidate, and, if he was, I'm tired of this everlasting colic about the people. Damn the people! I am in favor of nominating whoever the pDliticians want and cramming the ticket down the throats of the people. Who are they, anyway? A lot of old mud sills who would like to drive all business except the honest man out of office. The politicians have to put up for the party, run its machinery and elect its men. If they didn't nobody would bo elected; they aught to have something to say about who should have the offices." "Seems as if they have something to say, said one of the delegates. iou bet they have and they are going to have more, for they will not support a man that wants to turn a free republic into an empire, al though the leaders deny it now, tor the common people are going to have lots to say who shall be the next president. The Porto Rican tariff is the first step to an empire and then expansion by force all goes to show what the leaders intend to try to do in this campaign, the people will have lots to say next Novem ber." "When the seizers ' would seize on the knees of the nation; and tumble and humble the whole population; when democrats change all of our plans by sure nomination, let all heroes be found at the polls." "Yes, when rebles and copper heads, secesh and traitors;. Are puffing them selves up with hot-air infiators; Lord, watch the republicans roll up a large majority for W. J. Bryan, for he will be the hero to down imperialism and ex pansion by force. No crime is so dark but what the republicans will attempt it." "Well, do you want to see McKin ley beaten?" "Xa" ''Then will you come down with a hundred to be used by his friends?" "He will be beaten." ."Let him." "It will ruin him." "I will not give one dollar for corruption" "Will you lend a hundred to day? He needs it to buy a few votes, the only way he can beat Bryan is with money." "Well, there are lots of fellows who can be bought, and will vote the republican ticket, if they can get enough to drink and smoke on election day; will vote any way for a little whiskey. No differ ence how corrupt the candidate is so he gets in office; this has been the case for twenty years. Aurora, Neb. W. M. LiAttlN. The atention of all fusionists is again called to the article in last week's issue entitled "Where the wage workers be long." In our view of the growth of the social democratic party in Nebraska and elsewhere.it is imperatively v necessary to show that the fusion forces still stand for the interests of labor, whether it be on the farm or in the workshop. We have here in Lancaster county an old populist and labor man who in 18&4 made a splendid race for commissioner of Public Lands and Buildings, polling S3.29S votes with a straight democratic ticket in the field. We refer to Mr. S. J. Kent, now deputy commissioner of labor and treasurer of the state populist committee. Mr. Kent is an old trade unionist and has a national reputation as such. For years he has held posit ions of honor and trust at their hands and is universally esteemed because he has proven himself at all times able and true. In him the labor people will have a clean, conservative representative of their interests. Lancaster county should again give him her solid support for commissioner of public lands and buildings as she did in 1S94. He will add great strength to our ticket and will be overwhelmingly elected. Peerless Anti-Trust Steel Range Is the wsrMI mUIu 41ret ts ts fi Lincoln fHibr.
