cannot respond. Like other children
In our day, they may SEQ the bread
snatchcd from their mouths by tho men
who have made hundreds OF millions
through the oppression which they
have exercised through railroad and
other monopolies. For these children
whom we must soon leave behind, we
demand protection from the men who
make millions by gambling in the stocks
Of railroads that the people have con-
strncted, and from carrying the crops
which we grow, and from which we
cannot make hundreds. We demand OF
Congress restoration Of the republic
to its original design-the land Of the
free and n safe refuge for any one who
swears allegiance TO the flag. When
our heads arc pressing tho pillow OF
death, We have the right to be assured
that the republic, strong and mighty,
based upon a Constitution whose sacred
ness shall always be regarded by politi-
cal parties and public officials, shall he
the faithful guardian Of those whom wo
shall intrust to its care.
But, fellow citizens, platforms will
never give us this assurance. The
railroad monopoly will never be fright
ened or deferred from its course oi
wrong doing by the fimsey resolves vi
q political convention. Neither can we
beat back the waves Of opposition that
are rolling over us by slavish subser-
viency to party politics. We must
cmancipate ourselves from partisan
prejudice, and stand forth as inde-
pendent as we profess to be, looking
intelligently for the meE whose past
record is guarantee of what we may
expect of them, after we elect them to
office. 1t has been the custom Of polit-
ical parties to select men of obscurity
for the Presidential Office, because they
were not we'll enough known to make
their record an obstacle to success.
Out with such policy. Let us have
mon about whom everything good OF
bad, has been said over and over again,
until their records are rs familiar to us
as our own history. Then we can make
up our minds whether or not we cor
afford to vote for them. Men, not plat
forms, is the need Of the time.

An alarming outbreak Of cholem has oc-
cured In Toulon, France. There have

A panic has seized upon tho people. Eight
thousand persons have fed from the city
and thousands Of residents Of the poorer

The bodies Of victims Of the disease nre
buried IN large trenches and covered with

None have been buried IN the regular CEN.
eteries for fear Of giving opportunity for
tho infection 10 spread. Great terror IN
shown by the inhabitants OF tho surround
Ing country upon the approach Of any OF
the refugees from tho city, lest they should
carry with them tho germ of tho dreaded
malady.
A special from Paris says: The Ministry
Of Commerce has issueda notice that the
cholera at Tonlon IL sporadic, aud not
Asiatic; that II IL duo to local infection and,
therefore. confined TO the place Of its origin.
At Marscilles there isn cholera scare. Or.
