Let others extol the works of
man. Noble is their purpose. They
urge us on to accomplish worthy
deeds.
"Lives of great men all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime"
But tonight let us attempt to
rise above the meaner pursuits Of
man to contemplate the infinite
and marvellous works of his Crea>
tor.
How glorious are the attributes
Of Nature! And how infinitesi.
NAL the knowledge we possess of
them. Yet the little that we do
know of her far exceeds our learn
ing on all other subjects; and SO
multitudinous are her wonders
that it is difficult to decide where
to begin.
Shall we view her from the
stand point of the physicist, chem
list, geologist, botanist or zoologiat?
Let the book of natures maker
answer: "The heavens declare
the glory of God, and the frma.
ment showeth His handiwork."
So let us
"Take the glass
And search the skies. The opening skies
pour down
UPON ou gaze thick showers of spark
ling fires
Stars, crowded, throngs in regions SO
remote,
That their swift beams-the swiftest
things that be-
| Have travelled centuries on their flight
to earth.
Earth, sun and consultations! What
| Are We amid this infinite extent
| And multitude of Gods most infinite
works2"
Oh, tits an enchanting pleasure to
be permitted to raise our eyes and
minds beyond the narrow limits ci
the earth and soar among those
brighter worlds above! It is then
that our souls become enraptured
with admiration and respect fol
the Creator, and that we feel thai
we are in closer contact with oul

LORD SALISBURY TALKS AGAIN.

The Prime Minister Of Great
Britain astounded and disguised
his countrymen sufficiently, it
would seem, by his speech to the
Primrose League advocating an
Orange rebellion in Ireland; but he
has aroused even a greater sensa-
ton by his u~tterances at Hastings
last week in denunciation Of the
British policy of free trade.
Fifty years ago, he said, every
body believed that the rest of the
world would follow England's exe
ample by accepting the new com~
mercial policy; but instead Of do
ing so, the great nations are all
adopting protection, to the injury
of British industries. Other coun-
tries, he complained, seek to gain
mutual advantages by exchanging
commercial f%avors, but "none is
anxious about the favor of Great
Britain" Why is this SO? Lord
Salisbury answers: =
"Because Great Britain has
stripped herself of the armor and
weapons with which the battle is
to be fought. The attitude which
we have taken in regarding it dis
loyal to the glorious and sacred
doctrines of free trade to levy
duties on anybody for the sake Of
anything we get thereby may be
noble, but it is not businesslike.
On these terms you will and do get
nothing. If you intend to hold
your own in this conflict Of tariffs
you must be prepared to refuse
nations who injure you access to
your markets."
"We complain most of the Unit
ed States," continued Lord Sails.
bury, but, as he naively confessed
"It SO happens chat the United
States mainly furnishes us with
articles which are essential to the
good of the people, and with raw
material which is essential to oul
manufacturers. We cannot ex-
clude either without serious injury
to ourselves. l am not prepared.
in order to punish other countries
to inhict dangerous wounds on
ourselves"
In this grave dilemma Lord Sal
isbury admits that the only course
open to England is to levy higt

duties on articles imported from
other countries than the United
States, in order to compel access
for English products to the mar
kets of those countries. He does
not explain how cutting off the
nose of France or Germany is going
to spite the face of Uncle Sam,
which is what he would really wish
to do, IS tive live in an age OF war
tariffs"
This confession of impotency to
iniure us is worth the serious
thought,ot all Americans especially
of those who are likely to be mis-
led by the specions advocates
of free trade. England admits
American rproducts free of duty,
solely and avowedly because she
cannot help herself in the matter.
American free traders say that
we ought to give English products
equal freedom of access to our
markets Gin order to extend our
trade" But according to the con.
fession of Lord Salisbury our trade
already has full and free opportun-
ity to reap every benefit possible in
that market! He would gladly
curtail or abolish those opportuni>
ties if he could, but he cannot; and
since the United States will not
accept the invitation OF the fox
who lost his tail and 60 into the
free trade trap, the only recourse
for the latter is to wage CONNER
cial war upon some other countries
Lord Salisbury, in a word, &C
knowledges that the American
policy of protection has driven
English trade to the wall. The
fact is not one to be deplored by
Americans. A policy which bene-
fits ourselves, while it cripples
our chief commercial and political
rival, is one which it would be
suicidal folly to abandon. The
first result should of itself commend
the protective system; the second
could be borne with resignation BY
the world at large, even if it went
further and involved the politica
as we'll as the commercial destruc-
ton of the British Empire. The
Tory Premier will not succeed il
changing the industrial policy O
his own country, but he has un'
Willingly exposed its weakness tt
the world, and America, for one
may thank him for an object lessor
on the fallacy of free trade.
A tariff fo- revenue only-upor
a commensurate basis, is the per-
lection of political ethics. Tariff
reduction to this hasis-and no
free trade is TIE Democratic policy
with Cleveland as its champion.

An English Complime ent.

The manner in which the American peo-
pie have always regarded the action be-
tween the Shannon and the Chesapeake is
worthy of the Englishmen they are. Their
feeling was well expressed by one of the
wounded officers when a prisoner: "It
was gloriously fair, stand up fight. 1
fully expected a different result. The
day, however, contrary to expectation, was
nobly won by yourselves, and now behold
how different is our lot; nevertheless,
hope to live, and should like to try it
again" In later years it is pleasant to
think that Americans constantly expressed
the most generous feelings toward Sir
Provo Wallis.
When he visited Boston he was feted by
the inhabitants. and among his CORE
spondents were several American naval
officers. Admiral Prebble, for example
wrote to the survivor of the famous action
in the kindRest spirit In truth, neither
Englishmen or Americans have reason to
be ashamed of any military or naval action
fought between themselves, whatever the
result. That is the solitary compensation
for warfare between men of the same race.

you see the vegetation in that Marsh has

decay and its obnoxious and pestilential
odors are constant menace to the polit-
ical health Of this district. We intend
to drain it and after the ooze and slime
have disappeared we will cultivate it, put

Writing in an English Railway Train.

1t Is no use when travelling to try to
write on the knee, or even if you have all
the compartment to yourself, to kneel
down and write with the book upon the
seat There must be a sort of a buffer be-
tween the writer and the carriage, or a
sort of adjustable balance to counteract
the continuous jolting of the train. That,
as far as my experience goes, can alone be
found in the arm.
My practice Is to hold the book in the
left hand on a pretty thick pad just wide
enough to be clutched firmly between the
thumb and the four fingers. An ordinary
octave novel is the size and thickness
prefer. The writing is done with the right
hand of course, the body at the same time
being kept from contact with the hack OF
the carriage, and the arms being kept
pretty free from the body. In order to
keep the hand steady it is necessary to al
low the wrist to rest on the paper written
upon The motion Of the train Is reduced
to minimum by following these direc-
tions and by standing in the middle Of the
compartment.-London Tit-Bits.

New Wrinkles for Engineers.

In writing on graphite, an engineer rec
ommends the use of that very valuable
article in some unfamiliar ways He says
he has used handhole and manhole gaskets
eight or ten times by carefully smearing
the surface next the boiler shell with
graphite. In packing water glasses, by
putting a little graphite or oil on the gas
ket they would vulcanize as soft as lamp
wick and retain their elasticity until the
glass changed, when the old rubber could
be removed without trouble.
In the old way the rubber would be
baked as hard as vulcanite and take much
time to dig out. Another use of graphite
is in putting back the bandhole plate Of
plugs in the back connection. All the
SCOT and ashes should be carefully brushed
away and with a small brush good coat
of graphite should be laid over the fiange,
stud and nuts. After running the boiler
from three to six months, even using coke
for fuel, with forced draft, the nuts can be
removed without trouble as the heat has
not been great enough to burn the lead

GLADSTONE the greatest Of English
statesmen. said in 1881 in regard to Eug-
lish supremacy: Il will say this, that as
long as America sdheres to the pro.ec-
tive system your commercial supremacy
is secure. Nothing in the world can
wrest it from you while America contin-
ues to tetter her own strong arms and
hands. and with these fettered arms is
content to compete with you who are
free in neutral markets. AS long as
America follows the doctrine now known
as tarin trade you are perfectly safe. and
you need not allow any of you, even your
hghtest slumbers to be disturbed by the
fear that America will take from you
your commercial supremacy"

How One Man Got q Start.

A very rich broker in Wall street got his
start in life by securing the place OF body
guard to millionaire. It was his duty
to walk beside the millionaire wherever he
went and to see everybody who called to
visit the millionaire In order to determine
whether the caller might not be q robber,
a blackmailer or an insane man bent on
murder. Nothing was taken for granted.
Old friends who dined with the millionaire
the night before were inspected andqueried
when they called next day, because you
know yourself that even old friends may
go insane over night. The bodyguarl got
rich and started in for himself.-San Fran

OFFICE SEEKER MARSH.
The Republican Congressional C Nom
inee is a Chronic.
He Has Had Macy FavOrs 1t the
Hands OF HIS Parry But Has
BE en- Ne Often Retired iu
the House OF His
Friende.

Cobb F. Marsh is a chronic, as far as
office-holding is concerned.
The republican congressional nominee
in the Eleventh district has been an office
seeker ever since he was old enough to
desire an office. 1t seems to have been
an Unborn b fl .ction with him, an atfiiction.
it might be said, no more to himself than
to his party and his neighbors. Itwould
be difficult to recall tine when political
preferment was to be shown that Col.
Marsh was not in some way a candidate.
At the outset his own party and neign-
bors in Hancock county sought to nip
his budding ambitions and although they
succeeded, and the colonel's aspirations
were severely frost-bitten. he did not be
come entirely discouraged.
In the spring time OF the very next
campaign he again began sowing tie
seeds in his own little political hot on 1e.
were not to bloom or bring forth fruit in
any measure. And so il has been rigat
along for the past 80 years. In the ol
Eleventh district Marsh was always re-
and when Rock Island county was trans
ferred to the Eleventh it became its mis-
fortune to share in the tribulations Of
the other counties that had been bored
by Marsh for years before. So far, how
ever, Rock Island county has not con,ri~
buted to any great extent to the further
ance Of the coloners political smbitions2
1t go happened that the first campaign Of
ter Rock Island county had a say in the
question Of advancing Mr.. Marsh's for
tunes. the McClaughrey faction of his o ~n
party, which had been fighting him so
long and so desperately, got foothold
in Marsh's own county of Hancock, and
the result was the overwhelming defeat
of the colonel by Hon. ". II. Neece Of
McDonough.
However, q resume Of MIR. NJ arshs po
litical record will be read with peculiar IL
terest. 1t shows the number OF times he
has triumphed, and the number Of times
he has not. Here it is:
In 1860 he succeeded it obtaining the
republican nomination for states attor-
ney Of Hancock county-and was de-
fested.
In 1869 he was nominated by :he re-
publicsns for member Of the constitutional
conventioc-and was defeated.
In 1874 he made a desperate effort to
secure the republican nomination for con>
gress-and was defeated.
In 1875 he obtained the nomination and
in that year as in 1873 and 1880 he was
elected.
Iu 1882 he was again northumberland
was defeated.
In 1884 he was appointed by Gov.
Oslesby q member of the railway and
W ,rehouse commission OF ,he stste-and
s.rved four years.
In 1892 he was q candidate for the re-
publican nomination for governor-an d
was defeated.
In 1892 after failing in his higher as
pirations he became candidate for the re-
publican nomination for congress- He was
successful 30 far, but the half has not yet
been told. When the voice OF the people
is heard in November it will be q repeti-
ton of that which has SO often occurred
in the past-he will be defeated.
The people don't like chronics-and
they don't like Marsh.
