The oratory of Daniel webster.

Lord Chatham is accounted the most
consummate of English orators. In my
youth I greatly admired that passage in
his speech on the address to the king in
TIT, in w hich, referring to Lord Suffolk,
who had defended the employment of
the Indians in the war against the colo
MES, he exclaime ed, From the tapestry
that adorns these walls, the immortal
ancestor of this noble lord frowns with
indignationsat the disgrace of his coun-
try" 1t is a very striking passage; but
/ once heard Webster say grander words
1t was on the 18th Of June, 1s43, when !
was one of that vast throng, gathered at
Bunker Hill, which saw Webster raise
his outstretched arm up to the newly
,corapleted monument, and hear him say:
" It is not from my lips-it could not be
from any human lips-that that stream
ofseloquence is this day to flow. most
competent to move and excite this vast
multitude around me. The. powerful

though there are doubtless some points
upon which the doctors disagree. What
ever profession may be made of an inten-
tion to- reform the tariff purely on
economic lines the result will show that
political considerations have figured
much more prominently than economic
ones. There will be no votes alienated
by removing protection from industries
which are prominent in Democratic
States. The iron industry will be han
died very tenderly, and Prof. Wilson will
find some way of satisfying himself that
it would be detrimental to the public
welfare to make a raid on the protected
industries of his own district.
But these hearings, unimporuant as
they are as bearing upon the new tariff
bill are interesting as showing how little
stock many Democrats took in the tariff
plank of their own platform. Ii that
tariff plank meant anything it meant to
pledge the party to the abolition OF pro-
tective duties. It said they were rob
berry, that they were unconstitutional
and declared that duties should be levied
for revenue only. Yet few days ago
prominent Democrat of Michigan ap-
peared before the Ways and Means COM
mittee and pleaded for the retention OF the
duty on pearl buttons. He admitted that
the duty was a protective one, and that
in the light of the Democratic platform
it was Unconstitutional, yet he plead for
its retention, on the ground that it had
built up valuable industry, which
wouldsbe ruined by it's removal. EVIL
IDENTIFY he had looked upon the platform
as mere buncombe and had voted for the
candidates who. stood upon it without
the slightest idea that it committed the
party to any definite tariff policy.

Why His Neighbors Are Not Fond Of

[Labouchere in London Truth.l

[Labouchere in London TRUTH
We English are by no means a lovable
race. We have many admirable qualities.
We are hardy, practical, preserving
people; but these are not in themselves
sympathetic properties. We are aggressive,
self asse rtive, purse proud and hypocriti-
cal. We are apt to sing psalms and pick
pockets at one and the. same time, and
our neigh bors, not altogether unjustly,
therefore, resent the over righteous note
that we adopt in criticising them and
their concerns
Wherever the Englishman goes he has
the fatal influence of spelling even the
most simple of characters. A few British
tourists will make the inhabitants of the
most inexperienced province shrewd, sus-
picious. grasping and dishonest. This is
within the common knowledge of any
who have Travelled in little visited lands,
and consideration of this phenomenon
will enable us the better, perhaps, to
understand why our neighbors, and more
especially the French, SO heartily detest
us.
1t is also curious fact that whenever
there are any general elections to be held
in the great repu blics the most popular
policy is to twist the tail of the British
lion. 1t would be instructive as sub
ject for the dull season, to discuss the
question, Are we English really much
superior to all other nationssn / think
we are, but apparently our neighbors
think otherwise; and it might be well,
therefore, to discover whether we are
mistaken or whether they are stupidity
prejudiced.

felt the thrill which ran through that
vast audience and | saw their uplited
eyes and blanched cheeks, and Joined in
that responsive shout which told, as no
words could tell, that we had heard one
of the most perfect passages in all ora
tory.
Webster could also be dublin his later
years very dull. Those who heard him
doubts whether he ever could have, been
as popular an orator as Everett or Choate
or Phillips. Few now live who heard
him in those early days, when he was at
his best. I, who heard him often between
1910 and 1850, never heard him at his
best but once, and then only for a. few
minutes The circumstances were these.
At the festival of the Sons of New
Hampshire, gathered ia the hall of the
Fitch burg railroad in 1849, Mr.. Webster
presided with admirable grace, and spoke
of his native State as her sons would
like to hear her spoken of. His speech,
though interesting, was not particularly
striking until, passing from our own
affairs to those Of Hungary, then in her
struggle for liberty, he said: II see that
the Emperor of Russia demands of Tur-
key that the noble Kossuth and his COM
panionS shall be given up to be dealt
with at his pleasure And l see that
this demand is made in derision OF the
established laws of nations. Gentle
men, there is something on earth greater
than arbitrary or despoitc power. The
lightning has it's power, and the whirl-
wind has its power, and the earthquake
has it's power; but there is something
among men more capable of shaking des-
potic power than the lightning, the whirl-
wind or the earthquake, and that is the
exited and aroused indignation of the
whole civilized world"
Before we were aware of what was COM
ing his majestic form began to tower, and
his eyes to kindle, and his voice soon
caught the keynote of the vast build
ing, till in an illusion of the senses the
shook the place Where we " we're sitting,
and the firm foundation rocked as with
an earthquake. - From "A Glance at
Daniel Webster" by Mellen Cham berlain

The organization of the Knights of
Labor was in pursuance of project to
unite all the laboring men of the coun-
try. 1t started out with brilliant pros
poets and grew with great rapidity. But
its decline was as rapid as its growth
Apparently the Pittsburg laboring men

Possibly the experience of the Knights
of Labor may have revealed some of the
weak points of such project, SO that the
new one may avoid some of the dangers
that befel the old one. But the scheme
of uniting all the laboring men of the
country into one Organization and keep

Senator Voorhees, seems at last to have
settled down to the conclusion that the
only way to bring the silver bill to a
vote is to exhaust the opponents of re-
peal. But instead of setting to work
right away to exhaust them he gives
notice that at some future time he will
begin the process. Asa leader VOORHEES,
is fiat failure. 1t may be because his
heart is not in his work, or it may be
because he is afraid that if he presses
the repeal bill he will disrupt the Demo
cratic party, but whatever the reason the
fact remains that from the beginning
he has conducted the fight fors repeal in
the most shillyshally sort of fashion.

The imperative need of the protection

tire Death has stalked abroad in it's most
hideoust forms: accidents of the most ter

of man--have been recorded day by day.
Immunity has been accorded to none;
neither age, youth nor status has claimed
exemption-the old and the young, the
rich and the poor, have alike fallen be-

Of the beneficence of Life Insurance.
When death in its terrible swiftness en-

Life insurance is duty; one of the
most sacred attaching to any bread-win-

upon the shoulders of those who are in
any way neglectful in this connection.
