Last Nights Lecture.

Joseph Cook of Boston was greeted last
night by large and thoughtful audience al

was "Jesuit Aggression in America" Tue
speaker stated at the outset that he did no,

cause he believed that seven out of every ten
among the laitv would send their
children to the public schools were
it not for the domlneerIng influence
OF the clergy. He held that there
should be no division of the school funds for
the benefit of parochial schools. He would
sturdily oppose the otfo of any religious
denomination to Interfere with tho public
school funds. Mr.. Cook held however, that
the bible should not bo removed from the
public schools. His plan would be TO have
the oible read in the public schools and have
the teacher lead in repeating tho Lords
prayer, but he would not permit any secta-
rian explanation Of the scriptures before the
pupils.
He thought that the claim set forth by the
Jesuits that tho schools of America were
goddess could be best met and disarned OF its
force by placing the bible in the schools.
One quarter of all the children in the Amer
lean schools, he said, would never hear the
bible read at all If they did not hear it in
the public schools. The country could not
afford to let q generation grow up in
ignorance of such sublime character as
Jesus Christ, the only perfect character in
the history of the world. The speaker
thought that the character of the instruction
given at parochial schools was not in har-
mony with the spirit of our constitution.
In concluding his address Mr.. Cook advised
his audience to keep vlgilant eye upon
the interests of the public schools ard
to frown upon all attempts that might te
made to break down the efficiency OF what
he considered the very bulwarks OF our ma
tional life and liberty.
The address was nearly two hours IN
length, but the large audience seemed TO take
deep interest all the way through and III a
few instances the speakers remarks were
applauded.

A SELFISH APPEAL.

Senator DAVIS is delivering a speech
in the different wards of this city, beg
ging for votes to send him back to the
United States senate. He does not at
tempt to defend his course IN congress.
He dare not claim the right to a re-elec-
ton because of any merit of his own.
He knows that he has for five years
played the traitor in Washington and
lent his voice and influence to every
measure which was designed to enrich
the manufacturers of the East at the
expense Of the Western farmers. But
he bases his appeal on geographical
grounds. He says that he ought to be
returned because he lives in st. Paul
and loves this town.
If there were anything in this argu-
ment, 1t would be enough to say in reply
that there are Democratsin st. Paul his
peers in ability and infinitely his SUI
periors i'll loyalty and devotion not alone
to this city, but to the whole state. and
that their title to preferment will not be
overlooked by a Democratic Legislature
when the time comes. But is not Sen
ator DAVIS argument in any event a
selfish and dangerous one for him to
make? If the people of st. Paul, with
out regard to party. should support him
for the United States senate because he
is a st. Paul man, ought they not for
the same reason to vote for DANIEL w.
LAWYER for the goyernorship? If the
argument is good IN one case, why
~
DAVIS anxiety about his seat is rob-
bling him of his discretion and judy
ment. AS loyal Republican, he has no
right to urge st. Paul Republicans to
knife KNUTE NELSON in this fashion.

ANOTHER INDEPENDENT
TRIBUTE.

Daily and hourly the evidences multi
ply that the brains and the character of
the nation. when found in combination,
are with the Democracy in this struggle.
Only the brains without the character
and the honest dupes VINO lack clear
ness of mental vision remain faithful
to the monopoly-ridden Republican
party. OHiy the QUAYs, the WANA-
MAKERS, the DUDLEYs and the Ell
KINsES, shrewd and crafty, but I'M
Scrupulous, remain in the tent of the
Republican leaders, and only the bread
and-butter patriots, the spoilsmen and
the dupes remain IN the camp of the
Republican followers.
Take the single state of Massachusetts,
for example. An independent CLEvE-
LAND committee has been formed in
that state, consisting of such prominent
eX-Republicans as President CHARLES
w. ELIOT, of Harvard university;
FRANK w. BIRD (the old Abolitionist),
HENRY l.. PIERCE, Prof. CHARLES
ELIOT NORTON, of Harvard; Col.
T. w. HIGGGNsoN (who commanded the
first negro regiment that enlisted in the
|. Federal army, A. T. LYMAN (aleading
manufacturer of WOODEN goods, RICH
ARD ii. DANA, and many others. This
committee has issued an address to the
voters of Massachusetts, to which the
above names and more than hundred
others of similar prominence are signed.
The conclusion of the address is as fol-
lows:
with Mr.. CLEvELAND's views on public
questions we agree. We admire his courage,
his consistency, his public spirit, his studious
neglect of his merely personal interests
where they conflict with the calls of public
duty. We remember his tariff message, his
pension vetoes, and his letter against free
silver as conspicuous instances of disregard
ing personal considerations for the public
| good. We trust Mr.. CLEVELAND as q man who
| las never deceived US. His election, in our
| judgment, is demanded by every public con-
| sideraton. and we urge ali our fellow cit :
| izens therefore, to give him their hearty
| support"
Never in times of peace have a political
party and its candidates received such
! splendid tributes of praise and support
from men who put patriotism before
partisanship as the Democratic party
and its candidates are receiving this
| year.

ROBERT JAMESON and TAMs BIXBY,
as chairman and secretary of the Re-
publican state central committee, have
issued an address in which they call the
pending campaign this fight which we
are making for the farming, laboring
and business interests of this country
and state"
QWhat keen sense of humor ROBERT
JAMESON and TAMs BIXBY must have !
What delicacy of sarcasm in their refer
enre to the Republican party as the
friend of the farming and laboring
classes. The Republican party sent
WILLIAM d. WAsHBURN to the United
States senate, and made WILLIAM r.
MERRIAM twice governor of Minnesota.
Of course it is the friend of the farming
and laboring classes.
How side-splitting, too, their dig at
the Republican party'S concern for the
business interests of this state. Mime
6ota's prosperity depends on the pros
perlty of the farmers. The Republican
party is fighting for high tariff,
avOwedly designed to raise the price of
everything the farmers have to buy.
Even the staHnchest advocate of pro-
teetionism does not claim that it raises
the price of anything the farmers have
to sell. The Republican party is, there
fore, trying TO advance the business in
terests of the state by Increasing its
peoples expenses and not their IN
comes.
ROBERT JAMESON and TAMs BTxBY
