DalzeU, in closing the debate the
other day on the trust question, speak
ing for a constitutional amendment, told
the opposition several very plain troths:
"No political party and no individual,
he said, had a future who was not
against trusts. The difference between
the three political parties, be continued,
was that the democrats and popolistic
parties confined their opposition to
speech making while -the republican
party believed in legislation. The dem
ocrats came into power in 1892 on a
platform containing a strong plank
against trusts." For four years their
executive did not even take steps to en
force the law the republicans had put
upon the statute books. The great pop-olistic-democratic
leader at Chicago de
clared that a constitutional amendment
should be passed giving congress the
nnwRr tn reimiaie trusts. iet. wnen
we come here,' said he, 'with that very
remedy, the leader on the other side ap
peals to his colleagues to stand together
against it. You charge us. with bad
faith. You say that no constitutional
amendment that infringes the power of
the states should be passed. Your ob
jection is not to the form, bat to the
substance. The remedy proposed by
the geiltleman from Texas already ex
ists. The supreme court has decided
i hat it. ia not snficienL With that rem
edy alone congress is powerless. If the
trusts are not to do mgnieneu ai ine
prospect of this legislation it is because
thav fcnnw that between them and it
stands the democratic party in solid

North Dakota and Minnesota, it is
said, now raise 80 per cent of the flax of
the United States. ' It is a crop well
adapted to growth as a first sod crop,
manv Nebraska farmers being enabled
by it to make expenses and some profit
while opening their farms the first sea
son. Flax is now $1.25 a bushel, while
wheat is very considerably less than
that and it may be set down as pretty
certain, that 1901 will show a greater
ratio of increase of acreage of flax over
wheat than even that of 1900 over 1899.
In the great Red River Valley of the
north, hundreds of farmers this year
have pot three-fourths of their land out
of wheat and into flax, the only limit to
the flax acreage being the ability to get
seed.
The Central City Nonpareil makes
the charge against Secretary of State
Porter that he is using the time of his
official stenographer, whose salary is
paid by the state, in the interest of his
fusion party, writing lengthy political
letters to farmers, and closes its lengthy
editorial by saying that a few years ago
Mr. Porter was full to overflowing upon
the question of lower freight rates, ex
press and telegraph charges and a higher
assessment of railroad properties. Now,
after having been for four years, in a
position to aid in bringing about these
reforms and doing nothing in that dir
ectionwants to talk about trusts, im
perialism, or anything else but the
promises of reform which he and bis col
leagues have so disgracefully betrayed.

of disloyalty, because of desertions to

HIGH SCHOOL G1ADTATIS.
The Ckm af 1000 aiii FifUam ta tks
List -
Oration Day was the designatioa giv
en to Thursday's exercises of the gradu
ating class, which took place for the first
time in the new High school building,
the assembly room being well filled by,
relatives, friends and interested ac
quaintances of the class of 1900, fifteen
in number.
In all the public entertainments of the
schools daring the year, and at many
others also in the oity, the High school
orchestra has been an important feature,
and onho occasion was their work more
greatly appreciated. Four numbers of
the program had been assigned them, in
cluding the first and the last and they
acquitted themselves handsomely.
Prof. Garlichs was director, and the
instrumentation was ss follows: Violins
Will Boettcher, Otto Schreiber, Anna
Marty, Hedwig Jaeggi; mandolins Vera
and Florence Kranu-r, Ethel Henrico,
Ralph Wiggins; guitars Rosa Stauffer,
Anna Gass; piano Marjorie Williams.
GUS. O, BECHKB
whose theme was the South African war
introduced his view by reference to the
evident sympathy of the public for the
weaker nation, and the intensity of thftt
feeling as illustrated by the fact that' a
gentleman high in official station in tws
nation had resigned his office that be
might speak with the utmost freedom
in 'defense of the Boers, although, $e
said,' it was well known that be bad
since expressed regret for that act Mr.
Bechervery briefly recounted someof
the salient features in the conduct of
President Kruger in securing English
immigrants, and their after treatment by
him and likened his courso to that of
King George with the American
colonists. The oration closed with a
reference to the friendly feeling between
England and the United States, and to
their important place in the progress
of the world.
CHABIiES F. W. BLOEDOBN,
whose theme was Trusts, had been called
away, and we were not privileged to
read his production, but doubtless it
was good, and in line with his general
excellent school work.
IIADGEN. CUSRTNO
elicited full attention for Hospitality to
Truth (an attractive title), by her very
first declaration that civilization is the
discovery and application of new
truths. Truths laughed at fifty and
sixty years ago, now are the basis of
much of our progress. Hospitality to
truth once proven, stimulates still far
ther inquiry, developing good elements
and eliminating the bad. Various il
lustrations were given of the principle.
All truths are gifts that God has given
us. The proper place of honest doubt
was given as leading to truth, and to
close identity with it The possession
of truth makes every one capable of
helping others, and leads to the life
which seeks all truth.
ANDREW ERB
had been excused for good reasons. The
subject of his production 'was Hidden
Treasures. In the average of the gen
eral school work of the class he had been
second to Miss Vera Kramer, who was
first. He "has been n faithful student,
showing unusually Btrong elements of
character.
VERA KRAMER
illustrated the beauty of plain truth
speaking by her treatment of "Fossils,"
which after defining as formations of
former ages dug up out of the earth, she
proceeded to refer to the other kinds of
fossils you find every day in church, in
school, and in social circles, eliciting
considerable amusement The fossil
teadher is still occupied, as of old, with
the three It's, Reading, 'Riting and
'Rithmetic The fossil on the school
board opposes physical culture, draw
ing and music as'fads." The fossil
merchant is opposed to printer's ink, and
to all things new. The fossil father
raises his children by the hair, instead
of by love. The fossils are by no means
confined to old people. The fossil pupil
at school is especially recognized by the
habit of "copying." Politicians were not
left out in the general inventory, which
was altogether too lengthy for us to
give. The closing sentiment was that
as Providence had consigned earth's fos
sils to quiet resting places under the
ground, wo should do the same, and
work for "the survival of the fittest"
In the general work of the class Miss
Kramer's average standing was highest
of all.
ESTHER JOHNSON
characterized 'The Book of Nature" as
the book of books, portraying in the
broadest deepest, highest way the
thoughts of God. A fine description of
the completeness of that portrayal was
given, and the belief that it could never
be folly understood by created beings
was adduced as a strong proof 'of the
existence of a Supreme Being. 'Study
of the book of nature is now regarded as
an essential in education, the mere text
book not answering the purposes of
modern civilization. "The heavens de
clare the glory of God; and the' firma
ment aboweth his handiwork," is a truth
uttered by the Psalmist ages 'ago, and
appreciated more aa men are led by a
study of the most inspiring of all books
to adore its Author.
X. AXICE IJCXUET,
r
whose theme was "Know Thyself," de
clared that self-knowledge is very im
portant in all the affairs of life. The in
dividual being the unit in all human
organizations, this truth is vital, and its
force was illustrated by striking ex
amples. Its effect upon Imagination,
one of the most powerful elements in
human endeavor, was dwelt upon. Suc
cesses are attributable to self-knowledge,
and failures mainly doe to the lack of it
The most striking illustration given was
that of Moody, the evangelist whose
sermons thrilled the thousand upon
thousands who thronged to hear him,
the secret of his power over his auditors
being that bis knowledge of self was
such that he knew just bow to plead
with them and through the listening
ear to reach aad arouse, aad stir into
right action the will that determines to
do, snd which finds the way mads clear
to view. Reflection, self-criticism snd
culture are useful aids in acquiring self
knowledge. Life is a comparative fail
ure with those who do not makeaseof
their powers to the bast advantage, aad
to those who always ooaasisntioasly do.

problems of civilisation and improve
ment to which the Saxoa raoa seems
devoted. The wars with England, .aad
the civil war were touched upon, so far
as the two countries were'mutaally con
cerned in them in development of na
tional character, and a fine tribute paid
to the heroism for humanity that ani
mated this nation ia the war with Spain
in the interest of a much-abused people.
OBOROE E. MORRIS -
in a short address on Morals of Trade,
made a plea for honesty in business and
social life, calling to mind various ex
amples of frauds in different lines,
quoting Lincoln's saying about fooling
people, and referring to David Harum's
concerning a horse trade, of doing to the
other fellow what he would do to you if
he got the chance, but doing it first. A
doable set of morals was denounced.
MARTHA POST,
whoso theme was Altars, said we are
born to worship, and referred to the love
of nature which animates every, one.
The grave of a loved one tenderly oared
for is evidence of the sentiment of wor
ship; the love of oountry, how rich the
tribute to the nation's heroes, whose
devotion to duty was so strongly mani
fested on the battlefields of the republic!
True to themselves, to their country and
their God.
FRED A. SAFFRAN,
in his references to the Heroes of
Science spoke of Galileo, Kepler, New
ton, Watts, Stephenson, Fulton, Colum
bus, Edison and others; the necessity
for continued researches, because we
must oontinne either to improve or to
go backward there is no standing still,
and a study of the lives of the heroes of
science is an inspiration to live accord
ing to the preoepts of our dear, kind,
'Heavenly Father.
LOUISE E. TOMLIN,
gave the audience in a very well deliv
ered address, a collection of good
thoughts grouped under the title Cen
ters and Circumferences, as, causes and
effects; motives and actions; law and its
operations, in nature and in human life,
etc., the array of interesting facts ad
duced forming a very pleasing picture.
There is dizziness in small circles. Fa
talism is dead matter. There is no
logic in atheism. Matter is governed by
something not matter, there can be no
doubt about that, 'and the central
thought of our life should be the good
of others aiming to embody the only
perfect life the world has ever seen.
IXUISE M. TRADER,
in delineating The Spirit of Democracy,
said briefly that it was the very opposite
of aristocracy; that it had effected all
true reforms in our political life; had
undermined slavery, and finally de
stroyed it in war then had brought the
north and south together again in a
more perfect union. The address was a
very thoughtful one, closing with the
fitting sentiment that the spirit of de
mocracy furnishes practical demonstra
tion of the "fatherhood of God, the
brotherhood of man."
WILLIAM WAQNER,
on results of the Spanish-American War,
began by saying that every war is waged
for some definite purpose, and referred
to the Revolutionary war, the Civil war,
and the war against Spain and in the
interest of Cuba, as being waged for a
good purpose on the part of the United
'States, bnt denounced the Philippine
situation as a war of conquest, against a
weak and helpless people, and that it
was actuated by an imperialistic spirit
and a desire for plunder. He spoke of
incidental good benefits, but these were
far outweighed, he asserted, by the
enormity of the wrong. Our national
leaders, he allowed, had gone a step too
far, and if we should keep on in this
line, this grand nation would sink into
oblivion as many others had done in the
past
CHRTSTBNA ZINNECKER.
This young lady, who undoubtedly
has special gifts in elocution, which she
has cultivated and exercised, entertained
the audience in her interesting delinea
tion of the life and character of John
Brown, who was executed at Charles
town, Virginia, Dec. 2, 1859. The pic
tures drawn were the mossy tombstone
in the wilds of the wooded Adirondacka;
the Shenandoah heights; along the Po
tomac; the gibbet; the old man with
flowing beard, at which point in the ad
dress came the question, Was this man
a traitor or a patriot murderer or mar
tyr? A biographical sketch followed,
showing his Puritan descent his hones
ty in all business transactions, his love
for his boys who suffered in the conflicts
in Kansas Missouri 'troubles; how thus
be was led into that conflict of arms, his
taking of eleven slaves to Canada, and
afterwards appeariag at Harper's Ferry
with a small oompaay of man, recalling
the terror of that time to the, whole
southern country, and the tragic death
of four men with himself. The purpose
of John Brown's life was the emancipa
tion of the slaves; he had seen enough
to convince him that slavery was aot to
be preached out of existence, and he be
came an actor in defense of the slaves,
precipitating a contest that set them
free. The speech of Brown when asked
by the judge why sentence should not
be-pssscd against him was quoted, and
the oration closed with the sentiment
that we had hanged John Brown as a
traitor, when he had been instrumental
in accomplishing the dowafall of slav
ery, and bringing untold benefits to sll
parts of the country, including Virginia
herself.
The aadieaee were wall plsssed with
