12 The Conservative *
EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S FRO-
TEST.
Ex-President Cleveland preached to
the Holland Society in New York a ser
mon that should be repeated with earnest
emphasis from every pulpit and platform
in the land until its truths are impressed
upon the minds and hearts of
the American people. It was a plea for
the conservatism in which this govern
\ ment had its birth and a warning
against "the confused rage of national
greed and bloodiness" that is sweeping
away the restraints of the constitution
and reverence for the principles of the
Declaration of Independence. It was
the protest of a wise citizen , not the
plaint of a partisan. Philadelphia

His plea ought to be heeded at Wash
ington , just as those of the millions of
other sober men ought to be heard. And
is it too late to hopn that some attention
may be paid ? Boston Evening Record
( rep. )
The word sermon , Mr. Cleveland's
own word , appropriately describes his
protest. The difference between Eng
land and \mprica. as he noted , is that
England , in fighting the Boers , is fol
lowing the traditions of its post , while
America , in fighting the Filipinos , is
making a radical departure from the
traditions of its past. It is this thought ,
so strongly emphasized by General
Harrison , the only other living ex-presi
dent , which gives peculiar force to Mr
Cleveland's sermon. To thoughtful
men his question "What shall be the
end ? " is fraught with far more of
menace than any solemnity of descrip
tionof the "horrors of war , " Waterbury -

On purely partisan issues , Cleveland
and Harrison ba e been arraed in
square antagonism to each other ; but
in respect to the project to hold a great
expanse of insular territory on the other
side of the globe by force of arms , they
stand shoulder to shoulder. A cause
which brings two such men together on
common ground can afford to face all
the sneers and ridicule with which its
opponents have attacked it. Philadel
phia Evening Bulletin ( rep. )
Mr. Cleveland's solemn words on the
"strange voyage" the country has em
barked upon ought to and will produce
a deep impression. He has had so little
to say of late , and is so far unidentified
with the partisan opposition to the Mo-
Kinley administration , that the Holland
Society speech must approach ex Presi
dent Harrison's protest in weighty effect
upon the people. Springfield Bepnbli

The very first to respond to the re
quest for material for the Press was
J , Sterling Morton , and the response
came in that cheerful , whole-souled
manner so characteristic of the man. A
few days later the sketch , ' 'An Early
Devil , " followed , with the promise of
more concerning early newspaper life in
STehraska. Having been present when
the first newspaper published in the state
was worked off , at Bellevae in 1854 , and
having seen and read nearly every paper
that has been published in the state
from that date to this , Mr. Morton may
be considered the Nester of the Nebraska
press , and it was with more than
ordinary gratification that his promise
of assistance with the association daily
was received , because there seemed no
doubt but that a rich treat was in store
Tor the readers of this paper. Before
the time came for the other articles to
be forwarded , however , a great affliction
Fell upon the sage of Arbor Lodge , and
the stress of poignant grief undoubtedly
drove the matter of the association daily
from his mind. After this it did not
seem the right thing to do to intrude
our wishes upon the house of mourning ,
and he was not reminded of his promised
contributions , though their absence is no
less disappointing. No editor in the
state of Nebraska is regarded with more
sincere affection among the whole fra
ternity , knowing as we do his kindly
nature an \ genial disposition , than J.
Sterling Morton , and our deepest sym
pathies go out to him in his loneliness ,
and we weep with him over the loss of
his youngest son. From the Nebraska
