Texas Talk.

Last evening the hall of the Patriotic Sons Of
America on Plum street was filled with Texas
colonists who were drawn there to hear Col.
Allen of the Pennsylvania railroad, and Mr..
Hanson, representative of a Texas road, tell
of the wonders of the great South and West in
general, ard Texas in particular. President
Stanton presided at the meeting and in opening
made few remarks. He was glad to be able
to face the colony again, in spite Of the wicked
city papers which had tried to demolish him.
Mr.. Stanton isn't an orator, but former of
colonies.
Col. Allen was introduced ard addressed the
audience for about an hour. He spoke but
little of the wonders Of Texas, but described
the richness of the South and West in general
ia comparison with the East. He first spoke
of the vast number of men who were idle in the
East and how the West was yearning to get
hold of these men and make them mlliOnaires.
The poverty in the East drives men to commit
crime Something must be done to change
this state of affairs and hat can be done bet
ter than to go West just here the Colonel
awoke the crowd from their dean of wealth
by telling them that the men who got rich in
tae West were not loafers bat wide-awake
men. The rest of the remarks were not lis
tened to so closely, although when he referred
to the hospitality Of the Western people some
of them frightened up as they saw sight for
free lunch occasionally. In closing hs told
the crowd to first decide whether it was best to
leave Maine and then TO decide where to 60,
and when these questions were decided to stick
to the decision through life.
Mr.. Hanson was then introduced and told
them all about Texas He had lived there and
knew just what nice place it was. He did
not speak in the highest terms of the location
which Mr. Stanton had selected, and he thought
that there were much more desirable places in
the state, but he thought every man should
make his own selection.
At the close of Mr.. Hanson's remarks Stan.
ton asked the colony to stand up for him while
away and then dismissed the audience.

The Grafton by Mr.. Stevens will need 10 en-
comiums from paper published in Portland,
where the orator is so we'll known. From the
Bennington Chronicle we learn that it was
thoroughly enjoyed aad appreciated by the
immense audience, who listened with the
closest attention to the close. We are unable
to give full report, and our readers must be
content with paragraph or two.
Abiding to the descent of the soldiers of
1866 from the heroes of the Revolution, the
speaker said: 1.-THE blood which coursed in
veins of the minute men" of Concord and the
Fathers of the Continental Congress was also
the Lille tide which welled from the hearts of
such men as yoar own Lieut.. Dyer, who fell at
the head OF his company in the decisive struggle

the entire Color Guard of his COMPANY had
| fallen in the charge, seized the flag and. rush

Private Bullen, who after valiant service In the
field, met death in its most terrible form,
amidst the horrors of the prison pen at Sails
bury; and as ALI the others in the glorious roll
of your fallen ones.
| An impromptu address by the orator to the
large body of ex.soldiers present was subssan-
TALLY as follows:
| "All without the bidding comes the impulse
that speak to you, comrades of the fallen.
Reverently we rejoice that from the terrors of
that tme-the lie in hospital and camp, where
wounds and disease and weary waiting wrought
their desolaton-the long and hurried march

death in Thousand fearful forms -the dash,

and the pain OF the prison pen-from all OF
| these you have returned to us and home. To

mer. time has come, and buds burst into be-
and the grass begins to spring over the 70 =
moss grown grave, we shall not be satisfied un.
| til we come out under the summer skies and
render this homage, more tender and beautiful
| than can be paid by marble or brass. These
flowers will fade tomorrow, but they will kave
| the fragrance OF our love and reverence for
those who died to save the patton. We cannot
pay the debt we owe them: we cannot hope to
pay it. do not think we wish to pay it, fol
| fear that payment should cancel the sacrifice
but we can keep that debt constantly before US
and cherish the grateful memory.
And SO the day has grown in beauty and in
| power, though the war which bequeathed it t.
| US is seen through the mists of the past. The
| old uniform is moth eaten, the musket has had
| time to grow rusty. There are strong men to-
| day, men who vote and shape the destiny oil
| this country, and there are women who are
| mothers of families who canrot remember
| when Sumter fell. But though the war i!
| away back, in the past, the nation is learning
more and mo1e every year the true lessons o.
| that war. and getting more and the inspiration
| of the soldiers devotion, and the fragrance o.
his memory.
| What makes the death of these heroes a Clio
rious thing is because they died for something
| the impulse which day like this inspires il
not simply admiration for the soldiers bravery
| if it were we should have thu same feeling To-
the athlete who met his death 10 the arena O

We admire the brave man of arms, we drol
the tear Of pity and of perfect for

to break down our country and its laws; tina
is all they can ask from US. We stand will
respectful awe before the tombs of the general
of the old world who died for conquest. W
applaud the bravery of those who now are dy
ing there in war for conquest. But applaus
is the best we can give them; the man who
dying to-day to give Russia some ships an
some more land can not ask for the same loy
ing sacrifice that We give our country's mai
tyrs, any more than the man who does th
giant swing in the circus can expect the graf
tude that greets the man who risks his life
save his friend. The memory of our pattiC
soldier is precious because he shows US tn
beauty and strength of the sentiment of patrio
ism. If the patriotism of these men had nc
been strong controlling sentiment and low,
they could not have died for it; simply belle,

and lender! The property and business
of the country will be absorbed, fall
into hands incapable of handling it,
and the business and productive in
dustries of the country will be fatally
damaged. The remedy for our troubles
in the west, will, think, be found in
such material reduction in the rate Of
interest by our banking institutions
and capitalists generally, as will leave
a margin of profit to the farmer, mer-
chant or manufacturer. This will
foster, and as | think only this, will
rightly foster, and sustain the class of
men and Industries that after all are
the real security for the capital in
vested in the enterprises and property
Of the country.
Mr.. President, of course recognize
that among our bankers, capitalists
and money lenders, will be found as
high toned, enterprising, and liberal
gentlemen as may be found in any
other pursuit or business, and can
not doubt but that the experience of
UGH as these already admonishes
them that their ultimate safety, and
the safety of the capital they have in
charge, will be best promoted and
secured by such material reduction of
the rate of interest as will build up
the solid industries of the state.
Of another class of dealers in money
I have this to say, and only this. l
refer to the sharpers who follow in the
track of the grasshoppers, or others
unfortunate like these poor settlers,
lending at a rate only measured by
dire necessities of their victims. Of
such men | have this to say, that Il
would put whip in the hands Of every
honest man to lash such scOudrels ma
ked through the world
But again, Mr.. President, it seems
to me that the high rates for money
here are becoming exceptional as to
the general rates of the country.
Money is freely loaned in the east
and portions of the west at from to
per cent. per annum. Capitalists
there have already conceded that such
rate is all that business will bear, and
to charge more is to PROSTATE business
and jeopardiZe capital. There surely
can be no good reason why the same
wise and safe policy should not be
adopted here. Should this be done
l am confident it would be a long step
in the revival Of business, the right
adjustment Of the question and for
the general good of all classes.

are cody told by III. V. r. and others
of his kidney, that next year is to be
worse than this, and that even when
we have reached specie payments we
are to have years of still more dread

society, order. life and the republic
for stheir damnable heresy! Do the
people propose to stand still and per-
