0ratory Superseded by the Press.

Hon. Daniel Dougherty, in recent t
lecture on "Orators and Oratory," at
Washington, d. c., is reported to
have said:
"Models Of American eloQuencc arc
drawn from speeches made in Con,
gress, and though the republic is yet
young, she has produced as splendid
parliamentary speeches ns cnn be
found ~ the archives of any Govern
ment. But the grand days Of oratory
are gone forever. 1t is not improba-
bio that the teeming future may give
birth to those whose resplendent gen
ius will descrvedly rank them among
the immortals OF the past. But In
these latter days there has arisen q
power mightier than an army ofora-
tors-a power that has destroyed their
influence, dwarfed their genius, and
lowered thom to the level Of ordinary
mortals power that can Danish
kings, destroy dynasties, rcvoutionizc
governments, embroil nations in tri-
umphant or disastrous wars, and, for
good or i'll, change the aspect of the
civilized world.
"The glory Of the orator sank when
the printing press arose. Tho orator
at best can speak to thousands; the
press, to hundreds of thousands. Tho
orator speaks rarely--the press, every
day. The speech dies with the sounds
that gave it birth-thc press lives for
ever on the imperishable page. Let
us hope that the press may be faith
ful and pure, devoted to truth, right,
justice, freedom, and virtue, as the
orators have been. IF the press gloat
in licentiousness, if 1t stoop to strike
the private man, II il expose 10 the
public gaze the sacred privacy of
homes, if it violate all decency in
thrusting gentle woman to the gossip
Of tho town, II il catches at idle rumor
or ensious tongue To malign tho inno-
cent, II it can be bribed to suppress
the truth or circulate the false, IL il
shield the public wrong doer or de-
nounce the faithful public servant, II
1t pander to the base prejudccs and
passions Of the populace, then we may
grieve that this great engine should
work such mischief in society.
"If, on the other hand, It's mission
be to disseminate intelligence and
truth to educate the masses to bo
faithful TO their country and just TO
