THE PRIZE GRAFTON.
u The concluding portion of the admiral
= thesis of Lebbeus Rsdman Whitley, WIFI
was awarded the Townsend prize, is as fl
. lows: -
These have been the principles that ha
Il governed the Anglo-Saxon in the past, al
d believe they will control him in the
l. ture. But of one thing am certain-th
.. should the older nations of Europe disr
gard the admonitions of their wisest state
10 men and surrender their birth-right, Il
u Anglo-American will not follow in the
le footsteps, but, cherishing rather the trac
tions of his fathers, undisturbed alike
the croakings of Wagner and the sophi
ri tries of Chamberlain, by the fallacies
j. Henry George and the babblings of Bell
ID my, with feet firm planted on the promi
- of God in nature, he will not despair
popular government, ''but with steady Q
will look forward to see the white light
humanity. AS it streams through the wide
ing prism of democracy, spread out mo
and more into the glorious spectrum of
IF rainbow-hued civilization"
