RALPH WALDO EMERSON.
An Interesting Lecture On the
Sage of Concord by His
kinsman.

The name and fame of Ralph Wal
do Emerson will linger in literature
for many generations to come, and,
while multitudes of meretricious books
will yet be brought forth, and will
flourish and then fade away from the
memory of men, those of the Sage of
Concord will remain as priceless posses
sions. The sweet and subtle spirit of
the man pervades every part of the
country where there exist cultivated
communities and select libraries.
1t was therefore something of more
than passing concern to many Soda
lians to list.n to an address upon the
life and writings of the great philoso-
pher by his nephew. Mr.. F. F. Emer-
son, editor of the Gasette, who deliver
ed it Yesterday morning. at the Broad
way school, before the teachers insti-
tute and company of preachers and
professors.
The speaker quoted copiously from
the numerous essays and public adj
dresses of his illustrious kinsman,
which quotations, together with his
own observations, made a charming
paper.
Perhaps more Of EmersOn's person.
atty, if given, would have enhanced
the interest in the address. People
who care anything at all for great
military, musical, political or literary
hero, are keenly concerned with those
many minor details which escape biog-
raphers and lecturers.
Editor Emerson said that Ralph
Waldo Emerson was student, lecturer
and author. He was not an orator,
in the common acceptatiOn of the
term, and vet, in some respects, he
was one of the most fascinating speak
ers of his time.
He was not a popular poet, for he dis
dained the rules and cOnventionalities
of verse, and vet, his was essentially
a poetic nature and his soul was full
of pOesy.
He was not a logician and detested
mathematics, and vet. his writings do
not betray him as ignoring these
things.
He was not a theologian, and vet,
his thought and philosophy have won
derfully affected religious ideas and
He was not reformer, and vet, no
man 20 often participated in reform
of various kinds.
In the village of Concord. Massa-
chusetts. he lived in a plain. white |
frame house with green blinds. There |
he was visited by MANY of the most
distinguished scholars and >avants in
the Id.
When he went abroad he was the |
favored guest of Gladstone. Tennyson, |
Carlyle, Coleridge. Browning and
other men of worldwide fame.
With all his marvellous store of
learning and ffattered and courted by
the people of two continents, he re-
always the same unassuming
American.
The lecture was preceded by several
delightful musical numbers: There |
was duet by Misses Beulah Harris
and Anna Mertz, vocal solo by Miss
Beulah Harris a song by Rev. Ross
OF the Broadway Presby-
terrain church and a violin perform
ance by Miss Clara Shepard.

Saved by its Real Friends.

The country has been saved, as
respects monetary perils, by the
patriotic fidelity and self-sacrifcing
courage OF Republican senator's. The
people recognize the fact; the presi-
dent himself has promptly recognized
it, and whatever the issue may be as
respects Democratic unity or success
in Western and Southern states, the
honor ofsplendid fidelity to the public
interests rest with the Republicans.
It will be found in time to come,
whenever a financial emergency con-
fronts the people, unless patriotism
and intelligence meantime desert
them, that they will trust the party
which did it's duty regardless of it's
own interests, rather than the party
which almost unanimously decided to
do dishonorabls and disastrous
thing, and was only driven into decent
behavior by Republican senator's
and the president.

Cranks i'm Cities.

Every large city contains hundreds
of shiftless, disconnected half-cracked-
fellows, who only need a suggestion
from some seemingly responsible
source to conceive themselves justi-
fed in removing some ocalimpedi-
ment to human happiness with q
knife or revolver. The people who
swarm in the streets with concealed
weapons do not all carry certificates
ofsanity. This class Mayor Harrison
has undoubtedly helped to keep alive
and to multiply, and in doing so I'M
doubtedly in some degree contributed
to his own tragic taking off. If the
occurrence has warning in it for Gov.
Altgeld, so much the better. He is
playing the same dangerous game,
and with the same object-to get the
senatorship. Those little pets ofhis,
the Anarchists, are very like young
tigers. They seem for a good while
playful creatures, with glossy hides
and purr sweetly when they are
stroked. But the day is apt to come
when they lose their temper and make
the old use of their fangs and claws

SENATOR german described the
situation correctly when he said the
Democrats were pledged to therepeal
of the whole Sherman law, but they
could not carry out their pledge be-
cause John Sherman and his Repub-
lican associates would not let them.
The Republicans held to the repeal,
not of the whole law, but of the pur-
chasing clause alone. "We were COM
pelled," said Mr.. German, "to take
the terms offered by the senator from
Ohio. He held the key of the posi-
ton. You have dictated the terms

Sherman bill has been repealed. 1t

which he prizes highly. 1t is cop
per token or souvenir just the size of

date ''1776"
On one side is the familiar relief of
the Goddess Of Liberty, beneath her

of 13 stars with spreading rays be-
meath them. Around these is the in
scription containing the first of the
self evident truths of the Declaration
of Independence, viz, 'These united
colonies are and of right ought to be
free and independent states" The
inverse side is so worn that all the
lettering cannot be read. Around the
margin are the words, by authority
of the congress of the United States.
Inside of this is a wreath forming a
full circle, in the lower part OF which
appear the words, American indie
pendence." Above these words the
surface is worn, and only the letters
