take pride la the assembling together
of the sons and daughters to commemorate
the events Of the past aud the deeds of the
fathers, You also commemorate the pros.
perity that has attended tue nation and the
progress of civilization which has extended
westward to the Pacihc shores. The Con-
eress of the times you commemorate was
the Continental Congress, whom Ethan
Allen associated itwlth the great Jehovah
but no one would think OF associating the
present Congress with such u parsonage.
The spirit Of the Indian who committed
the deed here Is the same spirit which muir
dered Gen Candy. A gentleman applied
TO Congress for permission to organize o
company to protect the frontier against
the Indians. A Massachusetts member adj
yocated the peace policy. A German re-
piled that we who stand on the frontiers
arc now only meeting the rctreating wave
Of the old King Phillip war. We of the
Texas frontier stand where Massachusetts
stood one hundred years ago.

to the salary grab, against which be voted
eight times. When 1t was passed there
were not dozen members who did not ex-
pect to take 1t as matter Of course. The
press made a clamor, but Ii was the sent-
ment of the people to which they yielded
In returning the money to the treasury.
The people have it In their own hands.

which exist an appeal must be made to the
ballot box.
The evil of our times is the greed of gold
and display. 1t is the poison of the body
polite There Is q trial that awaits us
which Is more serious than any that has
gone before. Tho greed for wealth is in
creasing. Money honestly if we can, but
money at any rate, is the watchword. 1t
is happy augur to see the people come
out as you have to-day to celebrate an
event in the honest formative period of the
country's history.
