size and strength, but rarely dominated
by physical fear. That he should have

from one to another of the terraces below, it
was the most impressive sight l have ever
witnessed only married by the fact that four
hundred Es:.ss playing different airs within
tie space Of forty acres must have produced
some diseord. This was atoned for, however,
by the Musical Festival in the evening.
On this occasion 1000 musicians in red coats
each armed with a brass horn occupied the
semi-circular tiers of seats on the platform.
The programme was printed in advance,
and was we'll selected one, and as to the eX-
ecnton, the Salvation Army is admitted to
have the best bands in England But mag
inc if you can the effect of a brass band of
1900 horns; all presenting their slitterng
Threats directly toward you, and played upon
with the will that the Salvation Army throws
into everything it does All the great orches-
tras and choruses ever heard pale into COM
parative insignificance, and Gen. Tooth was
no donbt right III saying that he had ''seen
the sight and heard the sound Of life
time.
Tic one influence that seemed to pervade
the whole occasion and make it most enjoy
able was the spirit of good will, love if you
please, that parvaded it, and must say for
myself that thoroughly caught the infection
and found myself before [ left cheering ''the
General and the band. and the singers as
vocferously as any one.
And yet, to show how little the world cares
for these people, hardly newspaper in Lon
don gave the occasion paragraph. The
painted cyclists who roll into the gates of
Hyde Park with their lackeys and out riders,
the millionaire beer brewers, and worst of all
the murdefers and thieves may have whole
columns of notice, but these humble people
who are moving mountains to improve the
condition of the poor and break down nation
al hatredS, are not worthy of attention! SO
it has always been but l trust willnot
always continue to be. Please do not think
from all this that am going to put away at
once my brushes, and don the red blouse and
hat band.

THE fact that Henry county kept
the convention waiting an unusual
length of time at Defiance on the 18th,
seems to worry the Toledo Blade ex-
ceedingly, and the only solution it
persists in giving for the delay is, that
Judge Donnelly was getting in his
work knitting Mr.. Donovan. The
Blade gives it this construction to
please itself and to vent it's spite to-
wards Judge Donnelly. The facts
are; The headquarters of Henry
county were something like half
mile from the convention hall, and at
the time referred to by the Blade, the
delegates after arriving at headquar-
ters found themselves locked out
somebody had closed the door and a
spring lock did the rest. 1t took
some little time to hunt up the person
with the key, and that is all there is
in the much talked of delay in cast
ing the vote of Henry county. Is The
Blade satisfied?

THE Chicago Inter Ocean truly says;
There is nothing more foolish, demo
gogic, or vicious than the modern yell
of the agitator about putting down
capital, "s and that "capital is the
enemy of labor" What possible
benefit can the worker expect by de
stroying capital9 Does he want to
work for an insolvent concern2 Capt.
tai is only accumulated labor. The
bulk of employers in America have at
one time been workers. The more
capital they have the better for their
workmen. If only bankrupts run
factories and machine shops it is hard
to see how it would benefit labor.

this kind, however, which do not violate
fixed and recognized democratic doctrine,
we are willing to defer to the judgment Of
a majority of our democratic brethren. /
think tn ere is great agreement that this is
party duty. This Is more paIpably apparent
when we realize that the business of our
country timidly stands and watches for the
result of ourown efforts to perfect tariff leg
istation, that quick and certain return of
prosperity waits upon wise adjustment,
and that a comforting people still trust in
our hands their prosperity and well being.
The democracy of the land plead most
earnestly for the speedy completion of the
tariff Il gislation which their representatives
have undertaken; but they demand not less
earnestly that no stress OF necessity shall
tempt those they trust TO the abandonment
of democratic prinsiples. Yours very truly,
