I have spoken of frugality and econ nny ns important factors in American life , liid no fault with the accumulation of wealth and am glad to sec energy and enterprise re ceivotlielr fair reward. But I believe ou government in Its national inter rity is exactly suited to u fru ; ul and economical people , and jollovo It Is safest in the hands of these win lave been made strong and self reliant ii heir citizenship by self-denial and by sui oumtlngs of an enforced economy. 'When therefore , men In high places of trust charged with the responsibility of makln ; and executing our laws , not only condemi mt flippantly dcrido cheapness and econom ' vithm the homes of our people , and who' ho expenditures of the government uro rccl < ess and wasteful , wo may bo sure some hing is wrong with us and that acondltio exists which calls for a vigorous and resent 'ul defense of Americanism by every mo worthy to bo called an American citizen. "Upon the question of cheapness and ecor otny , whether It , relates to individuals or t the operations of the government , the deim erotic party , true to its creed , will unaltei ably remain attached to our plain and f rugn people. Thus wuen the question Is raise * whether our people shall have the necc : saries of llfo ut u cheaper rate w ire not ashamed to confess oursclvc n full sympathy with a denmti 'or cheaper coats and wo are nc disturbed by the hint that this seems nccc ! sarily to Involve a cheaper man or woma under the coats , When the promoter of a party mcasui which invades every homo in the land wit aichor prices declares that "cheap and nast jo together and this whole system of chea flings is a badge of poverty , for cheap moi chandisc means cheap men and cheap me mean a cheap country , " wo indignantly repi dinto such an Interpretation of American sei tlment. And when another one , high in party com ells , who has become notorious us the advi cnte of a contrivance to perpetuate partiso supremacy by outrageous interference wit the suffrage ; announces that the "cry f ( cheapness is un-Amencnn , " wo scornful ] reply that his speech docs not indicate tl slightest conception of Americanism. Twill not refer to other utterances of Ilk import from similar sources. I content mj self with recalling the most prominent an significant. The wonder is that these thinj were addressed by Americans to American What was the occasion of these condemn tions of cheapness and what had hone : American men and women done , or whi were they likely to do that they should 1 threatened with the epithets "cheap , "nasty" and "uu-Amcrlcanl" It is hard to speak patiently as wo answi these questions. Step by step a vast nun bcr of our people had Decn 3cd on , followir blindly in the path of party. They had bet Jllled with hiito and sectional prejudici they had been cajoled with misrepresent tions and f also promises ; they had been co ruptcd with money and by appeals to the sclilshness. AU these things led up to the final betrayal to satisfy the demands of thoi who had supplied the fund for their corru tion. tion.This betrayal was palpable ; and It was it possible to deny or conceal the fact that tl pretended relief tendered to the people fullillment of a promise to lighten the bu dens of their life , raaao by the party o trusted with the government , was but scheme to pay the debts incurred by the nv " chase of party success , while it further" i creased the Impoverishment of the masses. The leaders of the party , which was caug In the act of robbery and which was arralgm by the people for a violation of Its trust , we forced by tholr sad predicament to n dc perato expedient. To attempt to reverse tl current of true Americanism and discred the most honorable sentiments belonging American manhood , were the dlsgracof tasks of these who insulted our people 1 the announcement of the doctrine that to d sire cheapness was to love nastlness , aifd practice economy and frugality was u American. Thus wo do plainly see that when the pa pointed out by patriotism and American ci zcnship Is forsaken by a party in power , f schemes of selfishness and for unscnipulo conspiracies for partisan success , its cour inevitably leads to unjust favoritism negle of the interests of the masbcs , entire p < version of the mission of republican Instit tions , and , in some form , to the most 1 mi dent and outrageous insult to true Amcrici sentiment. Urt this is a time when faith in our cou trymen should bo fully re-established. Tl noise of a recent political revolution U st heard throughout the land ; the people ha lust demonstrated that there Is a put beyond which they cannot bo led by blii partisanship , ana that they are quite comr tent to examine and correctly aecido politii questions concerning their rights and tin welfare. They have unmercifully resent every attack upon true American mnnhoc and have taught party leaders that , thou slow to anger , they take terrible rovont ; when betrayed. They permit us to forgi our guest for all the cheap coats ho has ov worn , for they have declared them , to bo fashion. They have also decreed that t Decalogue has a place in our politics , i they hiwo enforced the command "Thou sh not steal , " and have rendered nn cmphn verdict against these who have berne fa : witness. Who can now doubt our countrymen's t prcciatlon of that trait , so well Illustrated the character of Allen G. Thurman , whl prompted him throughout his long career , all times and in all circumstances , and wii out regard to personal consequences , to the things which his conscience and Judgnu approved , and which seemed to him to bo the interests of his country and in accordur with his democratic ! faith I Who can in doubt that conscience and courage point c the wav to bublio duty ) If wo entertain moro solemn thoughts this occasion , let thorn bo concerning the sensibility which awaits us as our foil countrymen place In our keeping their ho ] and their trust. Wo shall full In our obll , tloii to them if wo slide conscience and di by ignoble partisanship but wo shall nv every patriotic expectation If , In all wo i wo follow the guidance of true and hon cemocracy , illumined by the light of gcnul American citizenship.

Bonney also makes a further stateme this morning to the effect that the cnnnlb incident was the cause of the death of bo Jameson and Bnrttclot. Assad told tl Congo state authorities and they wcro c cited over the incident and sent his nflldat to Europe. Barttelot learning this bccnn terribly excited for fear ho would bo blami and Bonnoy says ho ascribes the vlolen which led to Barttelot's death to this caua Bonnoy believes Ilarttclot was becoming i sane through privation and that the cnnnll incident was the List straw and that ho ci hardly bo held responsible for his actlo thereafter. Jameson also became uneasy a : hurried to * ho coast to try to stop the repc and Bonney believes his worry brought the fever that killed him. Bonney rather excuses Jameson on t ground of his being an enthusiastic natur 1st , and says ho failed to realize tlio scrioi ness of the act. Bonnoy relates the inclde of Jameson securing the head of a negro w had been shot by an Arab. It was salted n sent to London , where it was stuffed , was afterwards in the possession ot M Jameson. According to the Cologne Gazet Dr. Schpueinniith heard the Jameson stc from Assad In person , and is convinced of truth. AO C1I.IXCK VOfl KSV.ll'E.
