PHILLIPS oRAIoRY.
Comparison With Some of the Other
Great American Speakers.

Great American Speakers.
If we compare Wendell Phillips with
others of his contemporaries, we shall
find that he was eXcelled by one and an
other in special qualities. AT the South,
Calhoun was more logical in his general
style, Clay was more thrilling, Yancey
was more picturesque. At the North,
Webster had more sustained splendor
of diction and greater majesty; Everett
surpassed him in elaboration, and in
dulged in more frequent bursts of beau
ty; Choate was more electric Corwin
better pleased the crowd-was half
clown and the other half genius; Sum
ner was more pretentiously the scholar,
and excelled in copious illustration that
exhausted the subject to the bottom
Chaplin oftener scared; Beecher abound
ed more in the bravuras of oratory-was
an embodied thunderstorm; Lincoln
was superior in the art of storytelling;
the ability to pack the entire meaning
of the hour INTO a pat anecdote; Douglas
had more pathos; Curtis might be better
depended upon as speaker for set occa-
sions; Ingersoll exceeded him in the art
of captandt pulggS; nevertheless, in the
perfect moulding OF an orator he sur
passed each of these. On the whole, he
was a more interesting and instructive
speaker than any of his contemporaries
in their palmiest days. This is super
lative praise, but the record is true. Let
it be written while living witnesses can
attest it, and before his eloquence, like
the song of orpheus, fades into doubt
full tradition, Yes, as an orator, Wo4l-
dell Phillips was peerless. He possessed
that quality which Emerson thought
the highest of all, of being something
that can not be skipped or undermined. I"

The recent school elections In the Dakotas
do not indicate that the women thsre care
much about using the ballot. In Sanborn
county, South Dakota, out OF twelve hundred
female voters not over one hundred voted,
and that is the county where are the head
quarters of the woman suffrage campaign and
the banner prohibition county of the State.
The percentage of women actuslly voting was
smaller In other counties. In North Dakots
the same Indifference was observable. When
the women voted they voted usually as theil
husbands did. The jamestown Alert says

SATURDAY Or sUNDAY1

SATURDAY OK SUNDAF9
The interesting question has been raised in
Tennessee whether State has the right to
make arbitrary regulations regarding the OBJ
servance of any particular day when such
regulations conflict with or annul the per-
sonal liberty of the citizen. In the case be-
fore the Supreme court of Tennessee the
defendant argued: That the observance or
non.observance of any particular day, as
sacred, is solely matter for the individual
conscience of each citizen, and that the con-
science of any one citizen has no right to
bind or regulate the conscience of any other
citizen in this or any other matter. That 1t
is physical impossibility to set aside any
particular period of time as sacred to be OBJ
served by all alike, for by reason of the rev.
olution OF the planets the divisions of time
are radically different Ia different latitudes;
that is to say, that while in Tennessee IL may
be the day we call Sunday, the same period
of time may be Saturday or Monday in other
parts of the country. That, inasmuch as the
defendant is a member Of the Church of the
Seventh Day Adventists and therefore ad-
heres as matter of religious faith to the day
called Saturday as sacred, the action of the
court in this case is an interference with hit
| religious liberty, an assumption on the par
of the State to supervise aud control his reli.
gious practices, and therefore unconstitu'
| tional.
The State courts decided against the de-
fendant. The case will be carried to th
Supreme court of the United States and 1
will be interesting to see its fate there.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

We are a very civilized people. There is
no doubt about that. We know how to mako
money, our land is thickly dotted with ''sa-
loons," John L. Sullivan is one of our noted
citizens, ETC., etc. But in spite of these
evidences of high stste of civilization there
are times when the thoughtful wonder lit
tie concerning its quality. When the un-
tutored savage wants to celebrate anything
he beats his tom tom, howls as forcIbly as
possible, and is in every way as noisy and
active as he can be. So when we 60 to work
to celebrate our immortal Declaration of In
dependence we perform very much as the
savage does In his celebrations. We blow
Distressing tin horns, We ring sonorous bells,
we shoot EARTH shaking cannon, spiteful pis-
tolls and alarming and air-splitting fre-
| crackers. Having done'all these things, and
| having killed and wounded hundreds of peo-
pie and burned much valuable property, we
90 20 bed feeling that We have once more
shown our appreciation of the blessings OF 6
free government and strongly supported the
Rights of Man.
We suspect that II an uppreiudiced
traveller from sOme other world should hap
pen to alight here to-day he would record II
his notebook for future publication that hi
found the people in very savage state; tha
they were making varied and tremendou'
noises, with no apparent purpose, but prob
ably to propitiate some offended deity, O.
frighten some menacing devil Such thing
are common among savsges. But, rs every
body knows, We are not savages. We ar
the most progressive and enlightened peopl
on the face of the globe. We have tn
grandest country that ever the sun shone on
We twisted the British lions tail till b
squealed for mercy, and we can do it again
This is what all the noise means, and thu
far 1t seems to be about the only way W
have to express our patriotic sentiments
By and by 1t may be different.

TREBLED IN TEN YEARS.
Macon's Marvellous Industrial Growth
Since the Year 1880.
From the Macon (Ga) Teleoranh

From the Macon (Gd) TELEGRAPH,
About two weeks ago Messrs. Rogers and
Harris, the now famous "Ocmulgee com
mittee," received q communication from
the board of United States engineers, ask
ing them to prepare detailed statement
giving the value of the manufactured
products Of Macon and Bib county for tue
year 1890. This statement was to give the
probable value of the output of cot,o I
fabrics, barrels, aud other manufacture |
products. not including lumber, for the
coming year. They were also requested to
obtain, as nearly as possible, similar sta
tistics from the other counties bordering on
the Ocmulgee river.
Capt John c. Butler, the wel-kno Nn
and able statistican, was employed to do
this work, and finished his task on last S At
urday.
The result is surprising and will probably
astonish even those most familiar with Ma
cons rapid growth. In 1880 the value of
manufactured products in Macon and Bibb
county was a little over $1,000, 600. Ac-
cordiug to the most careful calculations it
will for the year amount to the enormous
sum Of 50 $4,000 There are not many old
settled cities or counties in this country tn At
can show such an increase
A detailed statement Of the estimated
values of the manufactured products is
given below. In some instances, owing 10
the reticence OF manufacturers. exact
figures were impossible to obtain, but a
very fair estimate has been made in all cases
