by his retainers, lccturing and harangu;ng
not TO enlighten or elevate the crowd, but
cndeavoring 10 close the public mind 10 the
investigation ofgreat principles, and by coons,
and hard cider, and ridiculous and NONSENSE
cal songs, addressed TO the lowest faculties
of our nature,t to excite a popular enthusiasm
which, without a swby and wherefore shall
rush him into the Presidency. All this has
a tendency TO lower our standard of morals,
consequently 10 fill the country with niqui-
ty and crime, endangering our institutions,
and destroying their good effects TO the world
by giving our people the appearance of a
senseless rabble, rather than nation ofthin-
king and dignifed freemen.
And TO conclude, as TO Mr.. Van Buren,,
we support him because she proved himself
to be admirably fitted to the station of Pre-
sident-,hat he discharged IFS functions in a
manner beyond rcproach-that he displayed
both courage and sagacity under circum-
stances of the most depressing and adverse
nature-that he showed himself to be tho
roughly a democrat, and that, as an indiv-
dual, he stands before the world without a
stain upon his reputation"

WING NIcToRIEs.-Tho wings will not
hear to comparing the recent election in
Connecticut with the election in that State
in Is t0,whcn Harrison got majority of60~ 0
votes, but they are very ready in recent
special election in Pennsylvania, where a
VIII 2 was elected, to compare the result
with 1910. Cause why? In 1910, Van
Blrcn got majority in the district, but at
the regular subsequent election, wing was
elected, and the victory would not have ap-
pcared half so great, had they stated the
fact, that the wing recently elected took
The place made vacant by another wh'g.-
The same in the 2Ist district in that state
where wing was recently elected. That
district is the strong wing district in the
statc-the great iron city Pittsburg, where
the people arc protectionists if any place in
the worlds in it. 1t gave i'll 1910, ma
jority Of 5000 Tor Harrison, and the recent
election gave but $50 majority for the wing
candidate over all opposition. Yet this was
lrumpeted as a great wing victory. This is
the character of all the victories the wings
have recently gained.

WHICH Shall, RJTLEq.

IN former times the'world was governed
BY The sword, and an appeal OF its decision
settled the question we have proposed. -
The mighticst was the conqueror, and in
those days Of barbarism it was called law
that the 'spoils should belong to the vic
tors" BY the slow progress of civiliza-
ton, in time the right OF absolute despo-
tism by one man over all Others began To
be questioned, and fuedal lords and barons
subjected the monarch 10 check. But in
whatever hands reposed, or to whatever
extent exercised, the ruling power was still
force. Civilization advanced-the power
Of the feudal lords declined-and, in pro-
portIon; the business or monied interest
prevailed.
A new era arrived A new world had
been discovered and peopled, and that pco-
pie were determined 10 be free. They
would have neither monarch, nor lords
force, nor monied power TO despotize
over them; they rerc determined TO be free
THEY WOULD GOVERN THEMSELVES. No
class was favored one-no one TO usurp
rule over others. Man was to be the sub
iect-Eumanity the ruler. The equality
Of the great human family was the all alb
sorbing doctrine in their creed, and faith
in man the all-powcrfll rule in their acts
Strenuous were the efforts made to pre-
vent this great step in human progress -
Long and loud were the evils set forth OF
entrusting government to so fee ble hands.
EIoquence exhausted itself in opposition to
the measure; force Of argument was spent
in vain; over and despite them ali, Humani-
iy prevailed.
The great experiment was now 10 be
tried. Is man competent for self-govern-
men,? Many ambitious ofpower answered
No. But desparing of again establish
ing the rule of force, they assayed wealth,
and, worshrppers Of the golden god, they
seemed to think it no difficult matter to en-
sure TO him the supreme control. Their
efforts have been unceasing, and but too
unhappily for Humanity have they been
successful. England has long since fallen
beneath their power, and its prince!y..no-
bcmen and houseless beggars tell the
mournfuI tale. Shall we initiate its ex-
ample? Having once rcpeied Indignantly
its armed force, having scorncd tc sub
nit to..its open aud high handed oppression
shall we take its spirit to our embrace,
and kiss more CALLING chains, and welcome
more grcvious burdens, than those which
our fathers found too gricvous 10 be borne
In one word, shall Humanity or money
rule? Workingmcn Of New Eng gland, ii
is for you to answer. Your influence,
when exertcd. is felt throughout the Union
nay, throughout the world. Seek, first,
that high purpoce in action, which seeks
not its own good merely, not the good of n
few, but The highest good Of ALL. 1t is for
you Indignantly to repel those who are
seeking TO benefit themselves instead of
their country--to exalt class, rather
than Humanity. As the one rises, the
other falls, as England at tho present mo
ment wi,nesscth. Cherish sacfedy the
rights and privileges ye have received, and
rs men, and as ctizens,-at your fire
sides, al the ballot-box, faithfully defend
them. Tile Laborcr.

lst. The United States are TO discharge

ANOTHER EXPLOSION

Washington, April 10, 1914.
This was the day set apart for the trial o t
Colts Sub-M irinc Battery in the Potomac
river, near the Nlvy Yard, Thousands and
thousands lined the shores covered The hills
and house toI,su every direction. Twol large
S camboats crowded with passengers, and
any amount of small craft were in the river.
The fist fire threw up the water ever two
hundred feet looking like an immense col
umn ofspray, and the sound was like distant
thunder Several other discharges were made
with the same effect. Finally,a ship of SEQ
tons under full sail with flags hostcd was got
under weigh. As she approached the mark
TO let the sailors know the place Of the bat
tory, they gave three cheers and Iump'd aboard
the yawl and rowed to the shore. This was
a moment oftremendous anxiety aud the fate
of those who were killed on board the Prin-
ceion, occasionally brought up in CONVERSE
ton, would now and then cause the specta-
tors to move back for moment and then the
excitement and curiosity of the occasion
would make than advance te the waters
edge again. AT length, the explosion took
place. The ship was almost perpendicular
upon her stern for moment. The spray
rose high, but il was seen through; and thou
sands had full view Of the ships bottom.
In moment, she fell and her tmbers were
floating in every direction. All the fore part
ofthe vessel including the forcmast was ia
ken away. The mzzcnmast was not dam
aged at all, In one minute after the vessel
fell, small portion Of hers stem only was seen
about six inches above water. Had the tor
pcdo struck the vessel on one side instead oil
directly on the bottom, the flying 9th spin
tcrs on the shore must have done great dam
age among SO many thousand spectators.
Colt was on shore and fired the torpedo by
application of electricity TO iron rods under
| the water. The experiment was satisfactory
TO all who saw It. 4 whole fleet Of British
vessels could be easily destroyed in this way
Speaking ofelecircity reminds me of Prof
Morse's electromagnetic telegraph complied
II miles on the road to Baltimore. The 9th
or day, when the first car ofthe railroad train
reached il news was sent here and the an
swer got back before the last car passed, les
than minute.
Thus is this electricity working wonder
in the world.
