Hon. Wn,. L. Wilson'S address.

The Baltimore Sun refers as follows to the
scholarly address of Hon. VIM. L. Wilson
before the Society of the Alumni of the
University of Virginia on Wednesday
The address of Hon. VIM. L. Wilson at
the University of Virginia on Popular
Government" is a thoughtful and sugges-
tive study of problem which is just now
presenting some of its most difficult ques-
tions for solution. Mr.. Wilson does not
think that the chief dangers that confront
us are the legacies of the war "with its tenn
porary subjection of the civil to the military
power, its permanent addition to the forces
of consolidation, its gift of freedom and of
the franchise to the slave, and its sectional
bitterness" but he believes that 'our grayest
and most abiding issues" have been raised
by "the industrial revolution, born of the
progress of science, of the sudden and phe-
nomenal increase of physical knowledge,
with the forces it has put at the service of
man, the inventions it has made and the
stupendous changes it has wrought in the
structure of society" This, he says, is
the sphinx that, seated by the roadside, is
propounding to us our hardest enigmas and
demanding peremptory answers to them
Among the results of this industrial revou-
ton are the development of corporate power
and the consolidation of capital and wealth.
How to Secure their best services and es-
cape their possible injuries" is one Of the
most pressing of the great questions of the
day. The magnitude of the danger, howev-
er, must not hurry us into ill-advised legis-
lation. Before we can deal wisely with any
political evil, the speaker suggested, we
"must discriminate between evils that be-
long to an era of progress, which will be
brought into gradual harmony with our
freedom, and evils that demand the prompt
and vigorous action of government" Mr.
Wilson adds warning that is worthy of
especial attention at this period of new po-
litical ideas and wild theories, in which old
and well-established principles seem in
danger of being forgotten. ave cannot"
he says, "buy relief from the evils that sur
round US at the prices of any part of our
freedom. We cannot buy our escape from
corporate oppression by any sacrifice of the
Just rights of the States to the Federal gov
ernment, without putting in peril our own
control over our liberties Paternal gov
ernment and bureaucratic government can
not be adapted into our system without un-
balancing its most vital parts. All legisla-
ton must be squared to the clear lines of
free government. No activity in the worlds
history has been so terrible as political ac-
tivity without intelligence. None has
drenched the world with more blood or put
back the hand further on the dial of free
DOM"

Senator Kenna has recently been talking
to friends about National politics. He is
confident that the Democrats are in splen-
did condition to win great national victory
next year. OF the presidential candidates
he said "The heads of the tickets will be
Cleveland and Harrison again. To my
mind there is no doubt who the Democratic
candidate will be- 1t is in the air. All the
signs point to Cleveland Some Democratic
Senators are opposed to him, but that is all
there is to the opposition. 1t is confined to
the politicians. The great mass of the peO-
pie want Cleveland and in the end their
wishes must prevail believe that Cleye-
land is stronger today with the rank and file
of the party than he was when he left the
White House. He is identified with the
question which is to form the issue in the
campaign of next year-the great question
of wringing from the people millions Of
money for no legitimate purposes of govern
ment. That is bound to be the issue next
year, and on it the Democrats will win
The silver question is an important one, but
it will be done subordinate TO the tariff
question. While the masses of party be-
lieve no doubt as do that free coinage of
silver would be good thing they will not
turn away from Cleveland because he takes
different view of the question. On all the
other great questions of Democratic policy
he is sound, and beside this the people be-
lieye him to be strong, courageous, honest
and patriotic. He gave the country mag
nifcent administration of the government
and he will be the man to lead the Democ-
racy to victory in 1892"

Ought to be Careful.

l was over in Hoboken the other day,
and while wandering around / saw a
painter finish painting an awning post
and hang up placard Of paint J" SO
that all might read. 1t wasn't two min
utes later when man came along and
backed up against that very post and
rubbed away at it for three or four min
utes before he discovered that he had
struck it rich. Then he yelled out in
great Indignation
"Why didn't you hang up sign
here? ?"
Isn't there a sign right there before
your eyes ?" asked the painter.
"Yes; but it only says Paint How
did | know whether it was fresh or dry ?"
People ought to be more careful about
these things. A grocer in Avenue b must
have thought so, too, when he put out
dozen boxes of blackberries and placard-
ed them: Genuine Black Berries |"

A man without hair on his bald
head came into the BARRIERS shop and sat
down Oh a chair.
"Shave or hair cut, sir ?" said the at
tendant.
"a shave, please" was the answer.
When the shave was finished and the
bald-headed man eft, the customer who
was getting his hair cut in the next chair
said to the barber;
"Why did you ask that man if he
would have his hair cut? Did you mean
to insult him ?"
"Oh, not at all, sir" was the answer.
"You see, it's like this A bald-headed
man is rather sensitive on that point. i
treat this gentleman just as | do every
customer who comes and sits down on the
chair. He knows that he has no hair to
be cut, and know that he has no hair
to be cut, and he knows that | know he
has no hair to cut. Nevertheless he
likes TO be treated as if he had head of
hair, and he comes regularly"

Poultney Bigelow, who was schoolmate
of the German Emperor, will contribute an
article to the Midsummer August Number
of The Century on the first three years Of the
Emperor's reign-the third anniversary OF
his ascent to the throne having taken place
on the 18th Of June. Mr.. Bigelow believes
that since Frederick the Great no king of
Prussia has understood his business like this
emperor" and in this article he gives what
he considers the secret Of the power Of Will
liam II. with his people, and incidentally
contributes many facts regarding his life.
This number of The Century will be espe-
eially rich in illustrated articles and COM
plete stories, and the illustrations of Mr..
Bigelow's paper viii include number of
views of the palaces at Berlin and Potsdam,
and engraved portraits Of the Emperor and
Empress will form double frontispiece.

DR.. Samuel Buell., of the last half Of
the last century, who used to preach two
or three hours, like Isaac Barrows, was
ingenious in OBTAINING his congregation.
On one occasion, after preaching nearly
two hours-as long as he could feel Sc
cure in the presence of all his hearers
he remarked that he was done preaching
to sinners, and that they were at liberty
to go. The rest Of his discourse would
be addressed to good people.
A gentleman who once went to hear
him stated that when the hourglass was
nearly ready to be turned second time
from the commencement Of his sermon
he said, much to the relief Of the person
who related it, "Once more" After 60
ing on some eight or ten minutes longer
he said, ITO conclude, and after anoth-
er about equal interval he said, Lastly"
The gentleman added that be expected
every moment to hear him say, Ever
lastingly."
