STRONG IANGUaeE.

Epi;het is not argument and is col
dom used Tor that purpose. Yet
there is u logic in strong language
that ehonld uot be misnnderslood or
moderated. Thers comes a time in
the consideration VI all questions in.
Solying humln happiness, life and
deaih, when argument requires tho
emph Asis Of epithet. This fact has
always bean recognized and it's po-
tAntiaiity admitted. When argu-
1 outs have bqen exhausted without
eT5c:. hunian ieeiinIs iird cxprcs-
sion through vigorous language that
expresses intensity of purpose and
the courage OF conviction that lies
behind it.
When the humble Nazarene dis
covered tho impo:nncY Ut argument
us 10 conffnu,cl the money chang
ers in ito temple, lie did not %cohiiue
liS rsmarks to parliamentary limits
pnd say: .The gentleman from
Jurnsul.m is mistaken IN his cor
illusions, aud 1 fear the honorable
member from Galilee misunderstands
tho wishes Of his coustituen,s =" No.
the Savior VI mankiud shook tho
finger OF Divine wrath Mt the infer
nal thiev,s and exclaimed: 20 20
generation Of vipers." That historic
expression will live whilo human
snakes provide the curses of honest
men.
Tho gold-bugs whom Christ
cursed nineteen hundred years az.
wero phiianthropists compared with
tho modern brute Of that type which
roams uncagad the fields Of
prosperity, blighting human pros
poets and emasculatin8 the best on
orgies Of the people. Unfortunately
We have no visible Christ ut the
present time To talk TO the money
changers Of Wall street, but n large
number OF honest humans esteem il
both a duty aud n privilege TO en-
ploy their humble powers ia dis
charging n duty they owe to hu-
manity. and male things as inter-
estin.; as possible for these con-
scienceless gamblers who are spccu-
lnting with the opportunities Of a
free people.
Strong language has come tn stay;
IL is nodded into tho dialect OF tho
eercration, and will survive until
sentiment Ia reinforced by the enor-
KY OF resentment and tho gold bug
manipulators ara driven from power.
We have too much faith IN the Amor
lean people To believe that they will
tnn,e'y submit to the unfathomed
auhncity If n class Of mon who have
no purpose in lie but TO toy with the
financial interests Of tho country,
and who aro models OF iniquity in
their methods, compared with whom
tho money changers Of the time OF
Christ were high minded patriots
without guide.
It requires strong language to
Arouse tho American republic TO tho
sub.ims mission OF eraslng from tho
national ~eseutchcon the blot OF ne
gro Slavery; it will require strong
language TO shake of tho miserable
leoches who have seized tho oppor-
tuniliss Of peace TO bleed tho indus
trial life OF tho nation by controlling
with god the law making power.
LOT every friend Of the republic use
strong language.
LIST every man with foresight to
SEQ the finale Of the great drama OF
orgaplzcd greed that ia being enact
cd on the stage OF American history,
do his utmost to drum down the ur-
tain upon the ~disgrncetul scene even
il stale cgss aust be thrown ut tho
actors until they appreciate the sen
timonts OF tho great audience OF soy
ereign citizens.
Long live tho epithot Of earnest
