Wherever found, the man born in this old
State, in the shadow of the Green Noun

scope enough for the men she reared. She

In introducing the next speaker, the Rev.

he would reply that she raised men, and this
man was one whom Chicago people should

President EIbridgc q. Keith

"a few days since | met a friend, now re-
siding in Vermont, near my native town,
who in answer to my question as to the
welfare of the old State, replied, vermont
is growing poor" Whether this be 50 or
not, one thing We may all say, II she is not
rich as the world csecms wealth, she IS rich
in heroic history, in beautiful scenery, in the
reputation of noble men and women, and in
all our hearts and memories tonight.

ever.
"I.ct us emulate their great deeds and
virtue, and as each year rolls around may We
regard with a more reverent spirit the sanity
teachings of those fathers and mothers who,
by their patient trust in prayer and the
promises of GODS holy word transmitted
to us by their daily example those lessons Of
love, truth, and honesty, coupled with a
universal loyalty to right, liberty, and con-
science, a richer and far more glorious
legacy than any wealth can confer and
thus welcome all here TO night. 1t is fit
ting that we, who are engaged in the daily
hustle, hurry, and care of this great city,
should turn aside to commorate the birth
day of the independence of the dear old
State to acknowledge our love aud fidelity to
her and to perpetuate her memory to those
who come after us.

over 4 500. The treasurer reported the
finances in an excellent condition, leaving a
total in the treasury over and above cX-

mission work the ensuing year. Reports OF

THE ARMED FORCE
Contingent Fund appropriated for the Islands Of Hawaii
Maui and Kauai showed very large expenditure, and
wholly dsproportioned to the results shown Moreover
the armed force had been established upon Oahu, and
the greater part of the expenditures made here contrary
to the terms of the appropriation.
One item charged to this appropriation calls for
unqualified censure that is $1,000 paid to the Depart

ordnance The Department of Foreign Affairs had
appropriation of $4,000 for purchase of ordnance which
had been expended and bill of $2377 7S for freight
remained to be paid and the Minister of Foreign Affairs
called for and the Attorney General paid the $1,000

the freight bill paid will appear later in this report

CLEVELAND'S POLICY.
an Address from tho "Independ
cnts" to tho Prcsident-Elcct.

MILWAUKEE, November 19-It is
learned here to- night that the Indcpend-
ent National Committee have prepared
and will presently issue an address to
Prcsidcnt-elect Clcveland. The address
has been approved by Carl Schurz and
other leaders and tho Independent State
Committees
1t congratulatcs the country on Clcve-
lands election, believing that in his
hands evcry interest is safe. It SAYS:
"Tho Republicans and Independents,
who co-opcrateI in your election, voted
tor you on the single and pre-cminont
ISSUE OF official integrity and administra-
tive reform, because they believe your
election necessary to purify the Govern
mcnt. They will uphold your admins
tration so far and so long as it is based
upon those principles which should un-
deriic all political parties in Govern
mcat OF, by and for the people. And
believing that an honest and fearless op-
position Is as necessary to free Govern
ment as an able and vigorous administra-
ton itself, they will not hesitate to op-
pose your administration when it COM
mlts itself to principles which they can
not uphold.
"Thc Republicans and Independents
who have supported you rely with con-
ldcnce upon you to maintain above all
the principles of administrative reform
III the Civil Service. They look to YOU
to maintain againsta all party pressure the
principle that public servant, like an
employee in private business. shall be
free from the political terrorism to which
he has been subject, and shall hold his
place, whatever his party affiliations,
providing he has earned his pay by do
ing his work well and has rcfrained from
hsing for party the time and skill for
which the public pays.
"Thcy look to you to select from
among those who agree with your prin-
ciples and aims, the advisers and agents
by whose aid your State policy must be
determined, and through whose Coop
Grafton it must be carried out.
"Wc heartily agree Oh our part with
these views, and we remind YOU that if
any Of our number should claim your
favor by reason Of his connection with
this movement, and seek office at your
hands, he by that act ceases to represent
the principle upon which the Independ-
ent movement was founded, and because
OF which it has co-operated in your cleo
ton"
The address is strong, cogent argu-
ment in behalf of administrative reform,
and le. YES the Presidents hands entire
~ free in the choice Of Cabinet officers
and advisers. 1t is calculated to further
widen the breach between tho Inde-
pcndents and Blaine Republicans.

OUR BIRD OF VICTORY.

The Rooster as a Democratic EN-
Dlem.
"Why, when and where was the roos-
ter adopted as the emblem Of Democ-
racy ?'
The question has been asked thou
sand times in tho last three weeks. 1t
has been suggested, no doubt by the
great popularity Of the bird since the 4th
day of November. The question has
been answered before, but for tho bene-
fit Of those who do not understand the
situation it can be answered again.
In 1910. after the Harrison campaign,
there was great doubt as to how Indiana
had cast her vote. The situation was
similar to that in New York this month
in every respect. An editor named
Chapman conducted the Democratic
newspaper at indianapolis, and, rs is Of
ten the case in boasting over victory,
his editorial rejoicing over tho result
was termed "crowing.'' In day or two
when some Of the back counties we're
heard from, it seemed his Growing had
been premature, and tho Whig organ
came out giving lato returns showing
Democratic defeat, and in the headline
was tho expression:
"Crow, Chapman, Crow"
This was intended as taunt, and must
have been felt, for a few more counties
yet to hear from again turned the tables,
and showed that the Democrats had
won. 1t was then that the rival editor
hoistcd at tho head Of his columns a
magnificent rooster and printed under it
tho words, ave crow"
1t made palpable hit. The passion
for roosters spread, and from that day to
this the bird imm mortalized by the hoosier
editor has been the emblem of Demo
cratic success. 49,.
