irresponsible Orators,
fFrom George Eliot's Essays. :,


The platform orator is subject to the
criticism of Kisses aBd groans. Counsel
for the plaintiff expects the retort of
counsel for the defendant. The honor
able gentleman on one side of the house
is liable to have his facts and figures
shown up by his honorable friend on the
opposite side. Even the scientific or lit
erary lecturer, if he is dull or incompe-
tent, may see the best part of his audience
slip quietly out one by one. But the
preacher is completely master of the
situation; no one may hiss, NO one NAV
depart. Like the writer of imaginary
conversations, he may put what imbe-
cilities he pleases into the mouths of his
antagonists, and swell with triumph
when he has refuted them. He NAV
riot in gratuitous assertions, confident
that no man will contradict him: NAV
exercise perfect free will IN logic, and
invent illustrative experience; he may
give an evangelical edition of history
with the inconvenient facts omitted; all
this he may do with impunity, certain
that those of his hearers who are not
sympathizing are not listening. For the
press has no band of critics who 90 the
round of the churches and chapels, and
are on the watch for slip or defect In
the preacher to make "feature" in their
article; the clergy are, practically. most
irresponsible of all takers.

How's that, engineef?" "Well, I'll

you'll think I'm windin', but in the fall
of 1880, when freight was movin' right
lively and our division was short of men,
my buddy and me run four days and
nights without leaving her, except for a
meal occasionally" After explaining
that "buddy" meant fireman, and "her"
referred to the locomotive, the engineer
relighted his stogy and continued: ''You

supply of cheap secondhand ships from
other countries which would be offered

shipbuilders or Workingmen, or any
other class really interested in American
