The "Commonweal Army" was not tin ac cident'. The Prohibition Party came not by chance. The lalwr Unions are not monstrosities. The silver agita tion was not caused wholly by own el's of mining stuck. Sonic of these things may be foolish, luirmful, wrong; yot they are all logical rc sulki of the growing soul of man. Ivnck of all bu'bor Unions, back of nrl llcforin Parties, back of all Socialis tic movements, stands a divine Idea, struggling for recognition and reali zation. This idea is The Coming King! In the social world It would declare t.ha't "All the sons of men are sons of Hod," and t'heroforo Uiy are brothers! In the political world It wouM proclaim that oory man has sacred rights, be cause he was Iwrn a maul In the In dust rial world it would announce the "Ooldicn Unle," demanding fair play for the master, and for tho man fair play! Everywhere It would capitalize Manhood, and exalt, aliove the name of ruler or lord, the simple ntiiiie of Mnnl Hut what promise is there that thfe Idea of Fraternity will ever ilnd more perfect expression In the Institutions of olviiiyaiion? The idea Is itself a promise. All hitdory bears witness to this fact. An idea wrought atl old Thornmpyilao Vu idn braved llo- lnini icorn and ilewish hate upon Gol gotha's crown. An idea spread the Magna Chnrta before King dohiv and bade him sign or die. An idea at Wittenberg detleil the pope at Worms faced ilcnth witihout a fear. An idea rang tihe l.ilerty Hell over Independ ence Hall, and ledi tlie patriot nrmj' from Concord on to Yorktown. An idea fought at Gettysburg and Chat tanooga, at OhieKainnugn and tbe Wilderness fought "until for every flresidie of the North there was n new made grae beneath the Sou'tlhern sun." An a'dea spoke in the thunder of the victor's guns in Manila Bay and off. the Cuban coast spoke with the very voice of God, till, from a nerveless ihnml, Spain dropped her scepter of misrule. Tims do changes coma To some great soul God wliis lcrs a new thought. It lives, it grows, it touches other lives with its power, until at Inst a generation declares, "Hefore God this must be done;" and it is done. Hut how will the embodimon't of this idea come? Must we say, "After us the deluge?" Are the forces now mustering for another revolution?

But difiVrent from those of bygone Jars is the dominant id.ea of today. Changr.- have come. No Socrates dies r pre iching itiruth. No Telemochus jakes jrotest with his blood agaimet 'he atrocities of the arena. No Wycllf, w Iluw or Ilidley now waits a wind lnf she ot of fire. No "Uncle Tom" Jtands on an auction block protected y the flag, or leaves the peace a home for clmlni, and lash, and' hope less toll. But have we reached the ulrfmate The industrial world, likewise, re veals a condition not always consis tent with tlie fraternal thought of the age. The shadow of the rich man's palace has always fallen upon the hov el of the poor, and doubtless it will ever be so; but if "God hath made us of one blood" then he wiho lives in the cottage should have an equal chance for life, health and happiness with the man who dwells in marble halls. Indus-trial inequalities will always exist; but the relation of rich and poor, of employer and employed, should be that of mutual dependence and helpfulness. Are thtere no chang es needed in the world of commerce when it is possible for corjKwations to iviv nnnnor makimr waces, while they declare millionaire making dividends? Are there no changes needed wncn great combinations can be formed for the express purpose of driving smaller tradesmen from the field of le gitimate competition? That system savors of iniquity which' totally ig nores the truth that each mans rights are bounded by the rights of his fellow man. Lives tliere a man who really believes that a dozen spec ulators have a Divine right to control tho markets of tho world to burden American! artisans, enslave American, lalwrers, defraud American farmers till penury makes a de&okvte a hun dred thousand homes?

"For liberty, under law, through growth" this i the pathway up which every revolution of history ' has inarched to coronatiom But add to those tliTee one other principle, and the results of revolution may be had without its bloodstained' fields and broken hearts. And the new idea that today is leading the world's thought and lifting its hojve is vital ized by that great principle, Love. Already this master i..ea of the age has started "a glorious sense of hu man brotherhood outward over the earth like an advancing summer." Al ready it has wrought changes in civil ization that force alone never could have secured. It has touched religion, and living principles now take the place of lifeless dogmas, it has in lluenced government, until the inter ests of the poorest citizen are the in terests of the state. It has wrought upon Society, until the cry of waifs on city strccte, and the heart-deep sigh of factory girls, and the hope less tones of unemployed men now reach the souls of the prospered like a trumpet call to duty.

None were made in tQie ftecond and third, al though there were men on bases in each inning. In 'the fourth Kingsbury started with a single, stole second and came 'home on a single by Ilhodes. Moore distinguished himself in the following aiming by making the only Qiomc run of the game, n was the first ball pitched and he sent it clear to the north fence. The sij?th was without a feature, but in the seventOi tine score was tied by the runs of Bliss and Gor don.
