NE An oE TALKlNe.

The influence and effect of artlculate
speech are marvellous. it is one OF
those wonders which are so common,
however, that it fails to uttrnct our at.
tention.
When Tallyrand said that spec ch WAS
a means Of concealing our thoughts he
spoke half-truth only. Speech does
serve to conceal some thoughts but it
reveals and inspires other thoughts
Il is the vehicle Of thought. Speech
may incite a mob or quell a panic; it
may excite q religious frenzy or elevate
men to deeds Of self sacrifice and valor
whose praise will resound through all
the ages Speech makes the lover
kneel in abject, but sweet submission
before beauty, or drives him into the
jealous rage Of murderer 1t soothes a
Romeo or inhames an Othello IL Is an
almost superhuman gift, yet it is arbi-
trary and conventional, the invention Of
man and perhaps not used by man alone
Professor Garner believes it is possessed
aud employed by the lower order Of
animals.
The effect of a speech is patent in that
master piece which Shakespeare put into
the mouth Of Marc Antony II is ap-
parent in tho marvellous eloquence Of
Patrick Henry, in the convincing plausl.
bility Of Gladstone, the bold defiance Of
Bismarck aud in the dulcet tenderness
Of Tennsy sons rhymes, Speech in
fuences the mind, IL determines the
course of justice, exoitel the passions
Of late and love, it governs the world
Speech is the common.carrier Of
thought, IL is the handmade Of conyic
tion, Of courage, Of patriotism, of duty
it leads the way by the clear light oI
logical reasoning or the sweet persua
sion Of affection, 10 conclusion not
otherwise possible for the human MIND
to reach. It tempers justice with mercy,
IL adorns love with beautiful Imagery
It enlivens philosophy with wit
Being capable OF so much, the i'm
portance OF correct and becoming speech
Is inestimable II is an art not gift
Il must be acquired by study and practice
it cannot be acquired otherwise "Hov
important then, A. p Barbank says
THAT this vehicle of thought trausferenc,
this common carrier OF Ideas, this car
rage laden with the most delicate anC
elusive Of burthens, nothing less than
the very essence Of the soul--perishabll
freight indeed should be CAREFUL,
watched and developed to it's highest
and best capacity"
Children should be taught the use o.
words and trained to talk and write
with greater care. than is used in teach
ing them TO sing 10 Is infinitely more i'm
portant to know how to talk, than how
TO sing and yet, the latter often re
eeives the most attention.

Encouragement for Honest Democrats.

Such appointments as those Of VIII
liam E Curtis, of New York aud Charles
5. Hamliu, of Boston, to be Assistant
Secretaries Of the Treasury should be
regarded as part Of a systematic plan
Both OF these young gentlemen are tariff
r. formers of the advanced type, very
earnest in their conviction that the
overthrow of protectionism is< the su-
preme issue and the most argent duty of
the epoch. They have devoted great
deal OF time TO the serious investigation
OF the tariff question. Mr. Curtis has
been prominen' and active in the Reform
Club, of New York, while Mr.. Hamlin
has been equally prominent and active in
the Massachusetts, Tariff Reform Leeg o.
They are good examples of that body of
young men ia Democratic politics who did
so much to bring about the rtnomi
nation Of Mr. Cleveland and To put the
tariff Ht the front with Mr. Cleveland as
the leader of the assault on protection
| The fact that the President
Is calling such young men
Ia considerable numbers to his
administration is one OF the most interest
ing and significant indications of his
purpose to redeem the pledges of the
Chicago platform. Believing. as he
evidently does, that the country will
hold the Executive as well as the Con
gress 20 rigid account for whatever
legislation there may be on the tariff
and that the initiative in this respect Is
rather with the Treasury than with Con-
gress, it is perfectly natural and reason
able that bis secondary appointments
under Secretary Carlisle should be
shaped with steady view TO the over
throw Of protection aud the enactment
Of a sincere and throughgoing tariff for
revenue only This matter Is vastly
more Important TO the future Of the
Democracy than any question as TO
which faction shall get the spoils AS
Congressman Warner himself an ardent
and earnest tariff reformer, remarked on

be diverted from tariff reform before our
pledges are fulfilled, we shall be horse

It is diff cult to draw any satisfactory
deductions from these mixed events
The revolt against Republicanism in
Kansas is not ended because the candi
dates of the local organization Of that
party were successful. On national
issues; on all distinctive issues
of that party, the people Of Kansas
are not Republican. 1t was not to be
expected that the Populist party would
hold together. There was neither live
giving nor cohesive principles in the
fads that party offered. The represen.
tatives the party sent TO Washington
and the local legislators the party chose
brought it into immediate and intense
disrepute. The fact that the Populists
have failed IN Kansas is not a warrant
that the Republicans have succeeded.
The other most notable event is the
revolt Of Chicago against Republicanism

Several things happened on Tuesday.
The chief thing was that election in
Kansas. An election in Kansas is not

women in ii are important

50 per cent. less votes, only, than the
men.

in the largest town, Kansas City. The

amount Of interest centred where the
largest number of women gathered
