But One Was for Self, the Other for the
People.

They tell story of quaint Judge in
Indiana's infant days who had a case
before him once involving a very deli
cate distinction in criminal RESPONSE
bility. A burglarious gentlemen had
appropriated bills to the face value of
$35-an amount that constituted grand
larceny-but his lawyer, an ingenious
prodigy, cOntended that the bills
they were old State bills-were at a
discount, and that their actual value
being below $S5, his client could only
be tried for petty larceny at best. The
judge, after carefully pondering the
point, ruled it out. He didn't propose,
he sand, to establish the principle in
his court that man could "steal at
par and be tried at discount"
This profound view of the law does
not seem to be shared in by those who
believe the sanity Nichols had right
to take $4,000 and let the lottery run
for seven years, and that there was no
special harm in doing 80, but it was an
awful thing to take more for longer
lease of power to the gambling con-
Germ. They were discouuting then
and discounting it big as we'll as cheap.

Several of the delegates arose. and
every speaker poured hot shot into tho
''eoloretl preachers camp
w. P. Coleman Of Avoyelles, was
the first Of the speakers. He said:
1.-The preachers missinn WAS to save
sonIs, hut that their opposition to the
forming of alliances was on account Of
saving for themselves bread and meat;
that they turned their churches into
stores aud spent their time in getting
up fairs and excursions to fltten their
pockets as the carpet ha.gers Gsed 10
do. and wound up by saying: "AlI
brothers must go home as preachers
and preach against such hypoc, ;trs."
B. +. Edwards. of De Sotn,l said that
the preachers in this section all took
much interest IN The organization of al
, liances.
General L. E. NJ. Humphrey, nation
al superintendent and organizer Of
colored state alliances, of Houston,
Texas was called here by this conven-
ton. He will leave here for the fol-
lowing cOlOred state alliances, which
meet OH the days stated Pulaski,

General Humphrey in speaking Of
the force bill, said that he was recent
ly before the United States senate
committee on the sub treasury bill and
was asked about that also, when he ex-
pressed himself as follows:
'Tf the bill could be made law it
would be ii ruin to the south, because
it would cause such an amount OF
bloOdsled as to provoke federal inter-
ference, which would mean the over
throw of the government" and for
that reason the leaders of the alliance
in the south and west provided long
ago for united vote of the labOring
classes, both white and colored, and
said that this convention to-day show
ed the effects of such principles.

The new census will confirm the
fact that previous ones have indicated,
that this country is to be one of great
cities. In no country on the globe is
the tendency of the people to collect
in towns aud cities so strongly shown
as in the United States. In round
numbers We have population of
65,O0O,0OO, with tour cities having
populations varying from 100000 to
100000. Russia, with 100000
people, has no city of over 800, 900,
England, with 36,00O,O 900, has only one
city of over 100000 inhabitants;
France, with SO ,OOO, 900, has only one
large city; Germany, with $4,000, 900,
has one city of large size; Austria,
with S8,0OO,OOo, has one city of
100000 people; Italy, with
29, 900. 900, has no city with 5O0, 900
people; Spain, with IL .00O, 900, has no
city with 40O, 900 Inhabitants, and ia
pan, with a population of $1,000, 900,
has no city as large as Brooklyn; Chi
ma, with 4OO,0OO,OOO people, has not
more than three or four cities having
over 100000 inhabitants each. In
the United States one fourth Of the
population is in the cities, while 100
years ago only one in thirty resided
in the towns. Between then and now
our cities have grown at the expense
of the country and if this ration Of
urban growth keeps on, the next cen
sus will show more great cities than
| any other country on the globe. In
the near future, besides New York,
Chicago, and Philadelphia as the cities
| with 100000 people, we shall have
| another in San Francisco on the Paci-
fic, another in st. Louis, with prOba
bly, another in New Orleans. The
central southeast will furnish another,
while Boston, Washington, and Cin-
cinnati will be near the million mark,
if they do not pass it. This may be
gratifying to our pride if we do not re-
member that the strength and pros
perity Of a people comes from it's rural
population. The cities are the nerve
centers Of country when disorders
first appear. Tue destructive elements
of national greatness always come
from its cities, and people to be free,
happy, aud prosperous must be rural
people.-Ex.
