secutive presentation of leading propose.
lions, moderately stated, distinctly applied
to existing facts, appositely illustrated,
pervaded by genuine convictions and de-
livered before an intelligent and investl-
eating audience.
In these days, however, the press spreads
information and exerts influence on the
masses, and education from the platform
has been largely superseded. Before
modern audiences solid discussion is rarely
tolerated, and a speaker. however conscious
of intellectual power, finds it difficult TO
convert voters or co do more than enforce
preconceived opinions and awaken enthu-
Siasm.
If he is to be neutrality-suspicious. he may
touch the reason epigrammatically, but he
must infiame the hearts Of his hearers by
blaze of his own sincerity and stir the
deeper feelings through real enthusiasm
for truth and for humanity.
1.-THE ideal campaign speech" during the
present canvass, il seems TO me, while not lg-
noring the platform issues, would have for ITS
central theme the unpurcha sable voter. ana
It's principal object would be to aid In avert
ing from our country the fate of Rome. LII
there could be spontaneous effort among
the representatives of all parties to secure
an election, based on intelligent opinion and
free from corruption, our political insttu-
tiUns would be indicated

On the other hand, he il sure to omit
something he should have said, and his adj
dress will not be so orderly in arrange
ment.
AS to the length of political speech, it
is hard TO lay down rule for all occasions.
II there are several speakers for the same
meeting of course each must be brief.
Ihave known audences 10 sit and even to
stand patiently for two and three hours with
out seeming to he tired.
Usually two hours is long enough.
If there is but one speaker he will do we'll
if he can hold an audience an hour and
half.
Where the meeting is in the open air it Is
quite difficult TO speak longer than an hour,
as few voices will stand the strain.
think political speakers ought TO be ex-
ceedingly careful to state all facts correctly
and without eXaggeratioa.
All political campaigns should be cam
pagns of education. 1t is high time we
were abolishing the campaign lie.
The speakers object is to convince and
win to his side and this he cannot do by
making angry the voters he would win or
opposing candidates.
In this campaign think the people owe
it to the speakers that they shall not de-
mand entertainment rather than nstruc-
ton. but attend meetings prepared 10 re.
ceive instruction with an honest desire to
lay aside preludices and vote in accordance
with the true Interests Of the State and the
nation. JAMES A. WAYMIRE.

" Without Violence to Truth"
truth, in pleasing phrase and entertain

TO truth, in pleasing phrase and entertain
ing manner.
To do this, the speaker should first arrest
the attention of the audience; then appeal
to their Judgment not to their preludces :;
to their reason, not their passions; their
intellect. rather than their emotions; not
entirely losing sight of the latter, which
may be legitmateiy aroused at times.
AS rule, avoid ex0rdium; shorten intro
duetiOn, marshal the facts in compact array.
Deal not in unnecessary detail.
Be not too dry nor discursive. Do not in
dulge in abuse Of the adversary. Be spar
ing Of epithet and invectve; have authority
in reserve to verify every statement Of fact;
above all things be sincere, and. while
adroit in address. accurate in assertion.
Be sure you understand your subject; use
short sentences. clear, crisp, concise
phrases, and compress all into the compass

That Is the Advice of Judge Coffey-He

Sargent s. Prentiss is reported to have
said that "the purpose of a stump speech is
not to convince ana persuade. but to delight
and crafty the audience"
No man of his time succeeded more IA
mously in the exercise of the art of elo-
quenee by tho magic of his sivern speech
than Prentiss; but his definition of the pur-
pose of stump" or campaign speech w as
only half true.
Conviction and persuas Ion are the end and
aim Of campaign speaking, rs OF all forensic
oratory; they are the body and soul. delight
andgratfication, the dressing and orn ament.
There is perfect consistency between the
attribute and the essence.
The ideal campaign speech should be
calculated TO accomplish the real end of
0ratory-the exposition of truth, the ex-
posure of error, and the conversion Of the
auditor to the faith of the orator.

tertainment, incidentally instruction; the

Facts, Facts, Ye Are Serious

Apart from politics, General weavsr's remarks
at the Pavilion were studded with startling illus
trations which fifty brought out to fun view exactly
what he desired to convey.
In speaking of fact he said "A fact IS a truth

not attempt TO prove to man 1t exists 1t is there
for all the world to On all sides. at all corners
you may see this orb, whose existence no man can

Now this is just the kind of fact which the people
OF the Pacific Coast can point TO when speaking OF
the work of the Cosmopolitan DispeDsary. More
cases have been cured by the specialists of this
Institution than any other similar concern this side
OF the great divide. It's work In the treating OF

Fifty Years Ago.

Fifty years ago the laborer worked
more hours and harder for his pittance
than the men of to-day dream of. He
was poorer fed, poorer clad and poorer
housed. His wages were paid to him
in money issued by banks in different
states, each dollar of which was subject
to a discount, or loss, as the banks fire.
quently failed. Clothing was no cheap
er than now. The only carpeted room
in the house was the parlor, and that
had only a rag carpet Sewing ma
chimes were unknown. and there was
no piano or organ to make the evenings
at home pass pleasantly. and the only
light was a tallow dip or whale oil
lamp. Tea and coffee brought high
prices, and meat was used but sparing-
~. The best mechanics received only
one dollar and fifty cents day in the
cities. and less in country towns. and
laborers could earn only eighty-6ve
cents to one dollar per day.-Banner Of

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 27.-Thad-

ternal revenue collector, returned here
yesterday from an extended trip
through several of the Lower Rio
Grande border counties, He states that
the suffering among the people on ac-
count of the prolonged drought is heart
rending, and that if assistance is not
rendered them soon many viii die of
starvation. He says that hundreds of
Mexicans in the country through which
he passed are eking out mere exist
ence by feasting on the flesh of animals,
such as cows and horses, which die of
starvation The priekly pear is also
another source of food supply. No
crops have been raised in that section
for four years, and fields are void of all
vegetation except the prickly pear,
which fourishes best in dry weather.

HOME DUTIES,
They Should Be Considered Before All
Others.

They Should Be Considered Before All
Others.
The first thought of a wife or a
mother should be her home; all things,
no matter how important, are second
airy to that. No matter how rampant
may become certain public evils, let her
see to it that she keeps the evil out of
her home and she performs her greatest
duty to her God, her family and man
kind When a woman tries to remedy,
an evil by striding the lecture plat
form, warning others, when that very
evil is invading her home by her alb
sence, she is installing her mission in
life, and she cannot realize it too SOON
The good that a woman cansdo towards
the great world at large is as nothing
compared to her possibilities in her own
home If she be wife or mother.
And the first duty of man, as well as
of woman, is to home, to his wife and
his children As a husband, a father,
an example to his sons and daughters,
their counselor and friend, he should be
the light and joy of his household,
their strength for duty, their encourage
ment to excellence, their comfort and
help in all that prepares for usefulness
and makes home attractive TO all
When husband and wife, father and
mother make home what it should be,
the false temptations of the world will
lose their power, and children will grow
up to be the JOY of parent anoa blessing
to themselves and to the wcrld--De-
