MY CONSCIENCE AND MY VOTE"

MY CONSCIENCE AND MY VOTE"
George w. Cable, Esq, recently
addressed the students of Harvard
University in college conference
meeting on "My Conscience and m!
Vote" Mr.. Cable said in the course
of his address: The right to govern
is an inalienable right born to every
man. No one has right to give it
to us or take it away. We have the
right to take part in our government,
and not only can we not take 1t
away from others, but we cannot
ALLEVIATE it from ourselves. We can
not cast aside the right to vote. The
idea that everyone should have an
equal and final voice in government
is pure democracy, and that has
proved to be an unfeasible form of
government. The republican doc
trine is the one we exemplify now.
Majority rule, we roughly call it.
1t is not the rule of the majority
over the minority simply. 1t is
the acquiescence of the minority in
the choice of the majority and max.
ing it our own choice. 1t is not
mere convenience; it is something
more noble and far safer. 1t is the
consent of all to the choice of Il e
aj"rity with this proviso that the
choice shall shortly be reconsidered =.
That il the foundation OF our gov
eminent, and ca this we base our al
legiance to it. Here we find no
harm done to our conscienceS. Then
there is another allegiance-the al
legianee to party. What is party?
Men joined together for strength.
There is ne strength like that of or
ganizat:on. But any time we join
an organization we surrender a
certain amount of individual free
dom. We do not do this, however,
without the prospect of securing an
overwhelming amount of goods in
exchange. Here is the point of
contact with our conscience. We
join party with the understanding

THOUGHTS ON INVESTMENTS.

AT the present time, says the Bos-
ton Journal, when a financial bubble
has just burst, to the modification
and pecuniary loss of investors
whose funds had blown it to such
great proportions, the words of
warning and advice that appear
from the pen Of Mr. William Wood
ward of the Central National Bank,
Worcester, in the current number
of the Bankers Magazine, are of
value. lie urges careful invest
ments, shows the advantages of
sure, safe, moderate interest with a
safe principal over doubtful large
interest with an insecure capital,
and points out the advantages of
following the news in the public
press in deciding upon investments.
Many of his statements and admon-
itions are put so pithily that they
deserve formulation as arhorisms.
These, for instance, can be selected (:
Never loan dollar ithout the best avail
able assurance that the principle is secure"
"Of what avail is it that you are promised
and may actually receive, Il large percentage
in return, if thereby you put in jeopardy
nay, more, actually put beyond your reach,
the principal of your investment"
always make sure of the principle, and
the item of interest, will, with OF binary care
and judgment, take proper care of itself"
"The Government may always be taken as
the standard for absolute safety; to depart
from this standard more than two or three
per cent. entails a risk which the prudent
investor has no right to assulle."
Study not what to choose, but what to
avoid"
other than fair prices"
"As rule, ii is not well TO be in haste in
making Investments; it is seldom that good
securities are not to be had"
Never be afraid to investigate; an invest
mcnt that will not stand in the glare of the
sunlight is not to be desired"
THE man who is on hand to take advantage
of any uphcaval in the financial world is gen
orally the gamer. There Is always II bc~t
time to buy"
If the earnings of corporation are on the
increase, and from what appear to be per
mancn' sources, u shrewd observer might
interpret this to mean in particular in
stance larger return to the stockholders,
and act accordingly"
The prospect OF II favorable consolidation
between rival concerns, to the advantage OF
one or the other, or both, would be Il suggest
i've bit of information"
1.-The hint that a certain prosperous com
pany was considering the advantages of an
increase of a capital stock would be suf1icie #
to suggest the possibility of stock divi'
dcnd."
"rhe general rule in regard to investing
has al ways been that it is good time to buy
when others are selling"
do not invest too largely in any one di
rectOn."

VERMONT'S DIGNIFIED POSITION

A good word for Vermont and
one well deserved comes from the
West. "Verlnont is the most mod

vote OF its delegation for General
Harrison, from the first to the last
ballot; as regularly as the roll was
called, the answer came, vermont,

ton to Peru. In 1857 he vas elected to
congress from the Columbus district,
serving until 1865, when he removed
from Ohio to New York Gig, and in
1868 was elected to congress, serving
three terms. He was defeated for con-
gressman-at-large, but was elected to
the Forty-fourth congress, and since re-
elected. being a member of the next

ninth congress he was appointed to the
Turkish mission, but occupied the place
but a short time, and on his return was

Soon after his graduation from college.
and before he had entered upon a settled
life, Mr.. Cox passed some time in Eu.

ally blended that the name Sunset Cox
was indelibly stamped upon him.
A lover Of humor, possessed of keen
sense of the ridiculous, he was diligent
in public life and a leader In congress.
He was chairman of the census commit
tee of 1880, and npon the commerce and
other committees was influential and

Added to the Long List.
LONDON, Sept. 1l.-At $50 a. m. a
policeman found the body of an aban-
doned woman lying in corner of rail-
way arch spanning Cable street, White
chapel. Examination of the body showed
that the head and legs had been cut off
and carried away and the stomach ripped
open, leaving the bowels lying upon the
ground. The police authorities imme-
diately placed Gordon of officers around
the spot, but no arrests were made. A
policeman passed the place where the
body was found every fifteen minutes
throughout the night and saw nothing
to arouse his suspicious. Physicians
who examined the body believe that the
murder occupied nearly an hour,
and 1t Is surmised that the murderer
carried the head and legs away In q bag.

Mr.. Cox was conscious up to half an
hour before his death. He then failed
to recognize those around him. He had
not spoken at any length since II o'clock
in the morning, when he talked rather
incoherently about the states and what
he expected to do when he re-entered
congress next year. He fondly but
feebly caressed his wife's arm with his
hand just before losing consciousness.
The cause of his death is given as peri
