An address. remarkable in many re.
spects, was delivered yesterday by Hon.
stephen b. Elkins befnro the faculty.
students, aud friends Of tho state Univer-
sity Of Missouri, at Columbia, on tho occa-
sion Of tho annual commencement Of that
great and prosperous institution of learn
ing.
1t was remarkable in that it evinCed
such c!earness Of perception, depth and
thoroughness sofrescarch, wealth ofillustra-
tion and practical common sense as are
seldom encountered in tho utterancos of
our public men. Mr.. Elllins has been best
known to the country heretofore as q
fuorossful business man and a shrewd
politician. Hereafter twill he his due to
be credited with practical statesmAnship
and sound social phIloSophy.
Ho does not aim at the ornate in
Rhetoric or at special elegance of dietion.
There is nothing strained or stilted in
his style. lie employs plain words, read
lily understood by the unlearned, but ole
CANT enough for the most erudite. 1t is
his utter freedom from any appearance
OF desire TO astonish his hearers
with wonderful achievements in "hne
writing that makes his speech wol-
como exception to the general rule Of
commencement addresses. Like Oliver
p. Morton he prefers the rough granite
bouldcrs of hard sense, stunning the
models initiated by those ambitious ora
tors who dazzle freshmen and surpri5e
sophomores with the wealth OF verbal
drapery in which they disguise common
place thoughts,
It was peculiarly fitting that Mr.. FL
kins should discuss "the industrial ques'
ton before tho students Of tho State Uni
versity Of Missouri, for he is Hn old resi-
dent Of that state, an alumnus of that in
stitutiou, and he has had practical ex'
perienee in dealing with various phases
OF the great problem. The man who
