ED. GLOBE.
There you have it in white and black! There
spoke the man who holds the Office of Chief
Magistrate of this nation, not by the will of
the people, but by the strong hand of law. OF
course he was cheered frequently during his
remarks, but there was a notable and ominous
silence at those points where he came to the de-
tense of John Sherman's
POLICY OF PIRACY
and the hard Money theories of his admins
tration.
The ideas were not born of thought, nor were
they elaborated in the brain of great
man; but were only the surface
platitudes of gentleman who is so far raised
by wealth and position above the wants and
hopes of his fellow citizens that he cannot
comprehend their struggles and their suffer
ings. After the Presidents address to the men
of wealth who were before him there was need
of about
TEN MINUTES OF DoNNELLY
to refute his platitudes and put to the blush
his yealy craftsmanship.
-"Oh, where was Roderick then?
One blast upon his bugle horn
Were worth thousand men!
FOLLOWING THE PRESIDENT.
"Old Probabilities,' whose other name il Gen.

ter.) He had come from the far East to what
he had been taught to consider the far West,
and had come to see the magnificent farming
lands of this wonderful country and he had
also come to that class of men which his
bureau had been created to
aid and benefit in their labor of
feeding the world. He had been abundantly
gratifed and hoped to live to see his work APP
proved and appreciated by that class all over
this great land.
Then came
GENERAL DEVENS.
attorney general of the nation, who endorsed
the Presidents financial policy, (of course) and
everything else his exceIlency lad uttered, (of
course-for this are we cabinet otficers) told
one or two pleasant stories, stuck a Latin
quotation from Seneca, and rendered it
English, about the blessed thing it was to be an
agrlculturlst, forgetting to mention, with
| wheat ten bushels to the acre, grading No. 4
and selling for so cents a bushcl and
the Presidents policy" retiring the peoples
bankers And then he sat down.
AT THIS STAGE
Brown, who is running successfully the re-
lief tent for the yellow fever sufferers, came
into the stand with handsome Morocco-cov-
cred bible, handing it to the President with
whispered instructions. The President imme-
diately rose, and holding the book aloft,
stated that former soldier of the federal
army desired to do something for the
confederates whom he had fought during the
| war, and who were now stricken by the scourge.
He had no money. but had donated the Bible,
| and desired that some one would purchase it,
that the proceeds might go to the
SOUTHERN SUFFERERS.
Mayor Rand stepped forward az auctioneer-
How much will you give?" Five dollarsr'
from the crowd; Ten dollarsr' from General
Devens on the stand. '"Thank you, gentle

and three rousing cheers for Mrs. Case.)
Mrs. Case is the wife of the great manufactu-
rer of threshing machines, and would have TAX

to run Jones and her other competitors through
