SPEAKING on the "old soldier ques- tion," four years ago, General Daniel F. Sickles said that the republican critics ought to "hang their heads Tn shame in view of the actual facts of President Cleveland's record upon pensions. We are sorry to see that general Sickles, now, on what, as a competent lawyer, he would if disinherited) designate as a mere bubble, refuses to advocate the election of the democratic ticket headed by Mir Cleveland. Men who-having a public reputation-put themselves on record, should at least be consistent with their own declarations.

 Sabbath Quiet.
 PHILADELPHIA, Oct. IA sensation was created on Chestnut street last nigh t by 8 mad dog, which bit a dozen people. The canine, q diminute yellow creature, started from Third and Chestnut streets, and ran up in the middle of the latter thoroughfare for several squares, when it took to the pavement.

 At Seventh street John Boyd could not get out of the way of the frothing canine and was severely bitten. At Eighth street William H. Boker, Dr. F. B. Hazel, l.. Meyers and Charles II. Ebeinger were all attacked and more or less severely bitten.

ANOTHER steel p1ill has served notice of a reduction of wages, It is the Cres- cent steel works of Pittsburg, and the reduction announced, ten per cent, is to go into effect on October 20th. Thus is the wage raging power of the Mckinley tariff law practically demonstrated week after week, notwithstanding the theoretical efforts of protection statisti- cans to convince the workingman that his pay is better. The American work ingman cannot be made to believe that a ten per cent reduction is 20 per cent increase.

Tho Fate of Hymn Writers.

It seems singular fact that appar- ently nothing in a literary way will relegate a writer to oblivion so surely as to be the author of a world famous hymn. Take few instances Nearly everyone has heard or sung the line of Shall We Gather at the River2" and yet how many know even the name of the author, much less the fact that he is living? The writer is Rev, Robert Lowry, D. D., resident of Plainfeld, N. J., says the Boston Globe. In Rich. mond, H., lives pr. S. Fillmore Ben nett. To how many is that name fla miliar, yet to whom is his familiar church song, "The Sweet By and By" not known? In the interior of New York state lives Mrs. Annie Sherwood Hawks, who wrote those famed lines of: 'I Need Thee Every Hour" Hardly known, and never recognized on the streets of New York as she walks out, is Fanny Crosby, the author of countless hymns, among them the famous one, Safe in the Arms of Jesus" It is odd that the veil of ob-
 scurity should seem to be the inevitable reward of those whose pens have gwen us the hymns which have brought con- solution and joy to so many thousands

The Man Of To-Day.
tha Rditor Of am ApYooAER.


In A. D. 1859, all over this country,
there arose q cry that Abraham Lincoln
was "nobodY,"S hayseed," a "pooF,
uneducated, country lawyer" who would
stand no chance of ever being president
of the United States. He was not In the
race at all; q " mediocre;" an almost un-
worthy aspirant for position he could
not fill, but would disgrace. Not only
in the south, but In the northern states
he was spologlzed for. And again,
when in 1860 he met and suCcesafnlly
contested with the "little giant OF demo-
cracy," Stephen A. Douglass, still ne was
doubted. Not until the news flashed
across our continent that he was elected,
did thought of what he might be, or
might do, Cross the minds of the then
leaders of national politics. He met
advisors ON every hand; yet, strange to
tell, they had to yield to his master
mind, and submit to his dictations.
Equal he was to the emergency, when
the great struggle for national existence
was on. Through doubt, and often de-
feat, he still led, and at no time did he
falter. In the language Of old he was
inspired. Yes, and led through trial af-
ter trial to success and became nations
idol.
To-day, in 1892, many stand as did
those men of 1859 and 1860. That was
struggle against slavery. This is a strug
gle against slavery. Then we beheld
Colored slaves. To-day we see slaves to
monopoly. We are paying q higher
price for security than was ever paid to
a crowned head. We are az much slaves
as q so-called freeman can be, who has
any hope in the future. Have we hope?
If 80, In whom? From where the prom
ised relief? RepubllCanlsm after
quarter of a century has failed. Demo
cracy gives no promise. Where can we
lookY In the west, the land Of giants,
of a Lincoln, a Grant, we see a new party
arising. Again, a new man is coming
to the front. Two years ago, In republi-
can Kansas, q party sprang into life.
To-day this party Is known, not in
state alone, but throughout the world.
Only few months ago they met and
selected q candidate for president who
was like Lincoln of old. No party or
man feared him, another nobody. Only
q few short months have passed and to-
day the question Of interest and anxiety
to the old parties is the extent Of his
strength. Now the question Is, will he
be elected? Yes, we believe In the God
of right and Of battles. Right must pre-
vail; this country must live, and the man
OF the future ls the peerless j. B. We&-
yer, who will lead our people out Of the
slough of despond, and while we hope
for right by ballots, yet we are the sons
Of 1776, or revolutionary sires, ready for
any emergency. We must be free even
If that freedom has to be bought by
might, by bullets. Yes, and in the his
tory Of American freedom, should the
occasion require, the name Of j. B. Wea-
YER will stand the peer Of any, the equal
OF all.
Then brothers, trust In God, vote right
Truth viii prevail and the people ever
remain sovereign. THE WEST.
