1t was Bob lngersoll, if we recol-
lect the name rightly, whose speech
es in the last campaign stirred the
country with their warliks clGng,
and fierce denunciations of the rebel
South, and affrighted tax payers
with the spectacle of coun tless bill
lions of rebel war claims, and sneer-
ed down every allusion to the finan-
cial question and hard times. Yes,
we think it was Bob. Well, Bob
made an eloquent address the other
day in New York, in favor OF Pres
ident Hayes policy, and closed as
follows. The best OF it is that most
every body who agreed with aud
applauded Bob last fall, also agrees
with his present views:
We have fought and hated
enough. Our country is PROSTATE.
Labor is in rags. Energy has empty
hands. The wheels of the factory
are still. In the safe of Prudence
money lies locked with the key of
Fear. Confidence is what we need
-con6dence in each other, conf
dence in our institutions, in our
form of Government, in the great
future confidence In law confidence
in liberty, ia progress, aud in the
grand destiny of the great republic.
L extend to you, each and all, the
olive branch of peace. Fellow-cit-
liens, 1 beseech you to take it. BY
the memory of those who died for
naught, by the charred remains OF
your remem bered homes, by the
ashes of your statesmen, dead for
the sake of your sons and your
daughters and their children yet to
be, 1 implore you to take it with
loving and with loyal hands. 1t
will cultivate your wasted fields. II
will rebuild your towns aud cities ;
1t will I'LL your Golfers with gold ;
it will educate your children II
will swell the sails of your com
merce; it will cause the roses OF
Joy to chamber and to climb over
the broken cannon of war; il will
food the cabins of the freedmen
with light, and clothe the weak in
uhOlC OO0b Va dnNi
the poor and lowly in measurless
content. Take it, the North will
forgive If the South will forget.
Take it; the negro will wipe from
the tablet of memory the strokes
and scars of 200 years, and blur
with happy tears the record of his
wrongs. Take it; it will unite our
nation, it will make US brothers
once again. Take it, and Justice
will sit in your courts under the
Outspread white wings of peace.
Take il, and the brain and the lips
of the future will be free. Take il
it will bud aud blossom in your
hands, and fill your land with fra
GRANGE and with Joy. Take 1t, and
we have passed the midnight of our
political history, and the star OF
hope heralds again the rising sun.

Judge NJ. w. Gibbs, of Arkansas,
an electOr at large on the Republi-
can ticket, had an interview with
President Hayes on Saturday. In
course of the conversation Judge
Gibbs remarked that the nomina-
ton OF Mr.. Key as postmaster gen.
eral had excited some alarm among
the c0lored people, bat 1t was Offset
by the nomination of Mr.. Douglas,
and he assured the president that
the colored people intend to sup
port him in his measures Of recon
Citation. Judge Gibbs says the
president remarked in reply that he
was sincere In his policy, and would
adhere to 1t unless it shoald prove
impracticable. For eight years =
policy of force and muskets had
been tried In the south, but had fail
cd, and public sentiment now de-
mands q change.

Under the law passed last winter for
the reorganization of the EmpOrIa
Normal School, Governor Anthony
re-appcinted the old Board of Re-
gents, to wit; j. II. Crichton, Edwin
Tucker, NJ. NJ. Murdoch, Dr. j. j.
Wright, Mr.. Sellers and Mr.. Lawrence.
The Governors action in this mat
ter Is endorsed by all who know the
man. They are in every way pre-
oninently At for the position, and
are better acquired with the affairs
Of the school than new men wsHld
have been.
The Board met here Wednesday, and
after full discussion, and seeing
for themselves the work which
had been accomplished, decided to
20 on with the school under its present
arrangement until the annual meeting
in June. 1t is hoped some dispo-
sition can there be made of the lands
of the institution to put it on q
permanent basis.
Let every friend of the school, and
of our best interests, "put shoulder
to thewheel" and move the institution
forward.

At Lisbon, the royai-famIly has
decided not to give the usual feteS
at the palace this year, but to give
the money they would cost for the
relief Of the suffering workmen.
In Germany, they have arrived at
an opposite decision, which is TO
give tetes, in order to supply work
to the unemployed. The Govern.
ment at Berlin is being besOught to
undertake public works, also, in or
der to employ suffering wOrkmen.
The situation in Germany seems, in
fact, rather serious for the lsboring
population. But there they are on
. strictly hard money basis, and
that is prosperity itself, accor-
dag to learned professors and emf.
nent nOte shavers.
