I am not vuin enough to suppose this is a per sonal tribute. It is a recognition of the great principles for which we are fighting, “There lias never been, in the his tory of tiie country, a crisis more em phatic than the one now. Not even during tin* civil war was there a greater tension and strain on the spir its of our institutions. All tin* bur dens and til*1 benefits of our country must, be equally distributed. There should be no class legislation, where th<- few are enriched at the expense of many. “There is to-day a most sublime op portunity to make an adaptation of this great truth. Within our shores there is a strife for self-government. We are told now, under a Democratic adminlttration, so-called (applause), that the people of Cuba shall not be declared free, because they have fight ing bunds, not dignified by the nume «f armies. If France had acted in that <>ay. we to-day would he a British ?rovincc and I would be a subject of a ueen. Are we to forget the people of ubti. who are imitating us? For my self, I propose to give all the Sniluencc i can command for the recognition of Cuba ” (Applause).

V» Modern C'lt lllzAtioti to Illume? I*lie iMMiirnon I* One of the Mo«t Hturt ling of Our Time* (uoiri of tin Minlft* N THIS country and In Europe pea pie are beginning to wonder why sc many young per son* have commit ted suicide of late *nys the New York Herald. The othei day a consumptive lail named Rudolph I’erclval found diatli by mean* of a gu* tube in thin city, and hardly a week pusses that we do not hear of somewhat similar and generally sitecessful attempts else where. Tlii- latest attempt In 1’iirli was that of a young man who tried In blow out bis brains with a revolver. I ortiiirilely pin hand trembled and to mlhsed bis aim. True, he did wound himself badly , but the piiyrli lanu nay that lie will recover. Disaiuif tirntent |n love, we are told, was the reason why this foolish young man wanted to rjult life «o abruptly. In ibis respect there In nothing peculiar about lila ease, Many men before him have killed t)ieins,,lve-. on ancount oT women and doubtlesa many men after him will follow his example, Wliat Is peculiar Is the fact that tit Ills age he should already have grown weury of life, h*or he Is nol a man, but a boy. Nay. In the eyes of the law he is hiiii an mrant. On this subject o French wrl>r says, "When we Investigate such tragedies we find almost always that a woman Is the cause, some destructive and mer cenary creature whose lus; for money Is abnormal, though her own value may he very little, How many of these foolish women have we known and how, when men have killed themselve* for love of them, they have not scrupled to use this fact as an advertisement! Only a short time ago a son of one of the most honorable families In I’arls committed suicide on account of a woman of this kind, and before that the little son of a woman of this elat hanged himself In the bedroom be cause he could not endure the humilia tion of hearing his schoolfellows' taunts that his mother was a dis reputable woman. But It would be absurd to hold wom en accountable for the deaths of all young men who commit suicide. Any one who reads the papers knows that boys and girls have killed themselves for the most trivial causes. To such oversensitive souls a parent's repri mand has more than once proved a death sentence, while In other cases want of pocket money or an unhappy home life or a willful temper bus ' -en the cause of a sudden and lamentable death. At no time has there been an utter dearth of suicides, hut at no time, we are told, have there been so many suicides of young persons as there have been during the last few years. More over, at no time have so many very young men killed themselves on ac count of disappointment in love. The exact canses of this epidemic of suicides among Juveniles no one has attempted to explain. Some think that the stress of modern civilization is to blame. Our children become nervous and discontented, they claim, because too many of them find the enjoyments of life are not for them and that tin world has nothing for them hut many years of haul labor and a loveless oh age. Competition, they insist, is s< keen that many parents cannot giv< their children the ordinary pleasure: of life, the result being that the ehil f I It'll itit- I 11»• i t* nnii.htc' i.oak I,.i resolve to remove them.-.elves swiftly out of a world which has so little hap pi ness in store for them.
