EDINBURG, Nov. s.-The United
States ambassador, Hon. Thomas f.
Bayard, delivered the inaugural ad-
dress last evening to the Philosophic
society. 1t was entitled individual
Liberty, the Germ of National Pro-
gress and Permanence. The paper
read by Mr.. Bayard was scholarly
and patriotic address in which the in
situations of the United States were
glorified and upon it Mr.. Bayard had
evidently devoted much labor The
most striking passages were those in
which he denounced socialism and pro-
lection. After alluding to the prepa-
ration for war on land and sea, which,
he asserted, were never so formidable
as to-day; to the increasing burdens Of
militarism; and to the hostile attitude
assumed toward each other by capital
and labor, Mr.. Bayard remarked:
'"rhe movement of to-day is toward
state socialism, as an opposing force
to aristocracy, either of which is des-
potism."

The Navy Department VIII Urge an Apyso.
priatiOn Therefor
WASHINGTON, Nov. SIN view of the
presidents decision in the case Of the
bid OF the Detroit Dry Dock Co. that
under existing treaties naval vessels
cannot be built on the great
lakes, the navy department will
now press upon congress- the impor-
lance of allowing its estimate Of
$500, 900 for the accumulation of sup
ply of rapid fire rifles for the auxiliary
navy. One of the most forcible argu-
ments that will be presented is the
fact that Great Britain already
has number of small war vessels,
which can be quickly taken into
the great lakes through the Canadian
canals and in time Of war ravage our
great lake cities, which are now de-
fenseless. With proper supply of
guns on hand, however, it is argued
that large mum Der of the magnifi-
cent American lake steamers could
be rapidly armed in an emergency
and could easily overpower the British
gunboats, which are not nrmored ves-
sells. As it would take several years to
make these guns, the department will
ask that the appropriation desired be
made Immediately. in order that the
work of construction may begin.

HIS WORK FINISHED.
Sudden Death Of Eugene Field at
Chicago.
The Well Known Poet, story Writer and
Newspaper Man Dies of Heart Trouble
"A brilliant Career Prsma-
turely Closed.

CHICAGO, Nov. s. Eugene Field,
poet, story writer and newspaper man,
whose works were read and admired
In all parts Of this country, died IA
bed in his home at Buena Park, a SUBJ
urb OF this city, about o'clock yes
terday morning from heart disease.
Mr.. Field had been suffering for sew.
eral days from a severe cold and yester.
day had been obliged to cancel an en-.
gagement for public reading at Kan
sas City to night. No serious results
OF his indisposition had even been
thought of by his family and imnedi-
ate friends.
Last night Mr.. Field retired, after
an evening with his family, feeling APP
parently better than for long time.
He is supposed to have slept soundly
until daybreak when his son, who oc-
cupied the room with him, heard him
groan. The young man put out his
hand and found that death had al
ready taken place.
Mr.. Fields family and close rela-
tives were at once summoned and the
news sent to this city where the dead
man had wide acquaintance. The
announcement Of his death caused a
shock in all parts of the city.
Eugene Field was the son of Roswell
Martin and Frances Reed Field and
was born in St Louis, September 2,
1850. After finishing his education in
the state university of Missouri in 1871,
adopted the profession of newspaper
writer, beginning with the St. Louis
Journal in 1872. His next connection
was with the st. Joseph (Mo) Gazette
in 1875, after which he returned to St.
Louis to take an editorial position on
the Times-Journal. In 1880 he was on
the staff of the Kansas City Times, but
left that paper in 1881 to become man.
aging editor of the Denver Tribune.
He came to Chicago August, 1888, to
accept position on the editorial staff
Of the Chicago Morning News now
the Record), and his connection with
that paper continued without inter.
ruption to the day of his death. In
addition to his newspaper work Mr..
Field found time to perform much ex-
ira labor in the literary field and
established reputation as graceful
and clever writer of stories and verse.
He was especially happy in his poems
and stories of juvenile life.
Mr.. Field married October 16, 1873,
Miss Julia Comstock, of St Joseph.
Mo-, and had seven children. In June,
1893, Knox college conferred upon Mr.
Field the honorary degree Of A. NJ.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Just Retribution on an UntrustwOrthy
Administrations.

Just Retribution on an UntrustwOrthy
Administration.
Two successive overwhelming de-
feats ought to convince the democratic
party that its administration of nation
al and state affairs does not meet with
popular approval. The election in 1894
was powerful expression of this disap-
proval, and Tuesday emphasized it.
The democratic party has no one to
blame but itself. 1t repudiated its SOL
cmn promises made in 1892. Itpledged
itself in that year to provide sufficient
revenue to run the government. 1t has
not done SO. 1t pledged itself to treat
gold and silver with the same consid-
Grafton. 1t has not done so. 1t pledged
itself to maintain foreign policy con-
sstent and vigorous, compelling re-
spect abroad and inspiring confidence
at home" 1t has not done SO. 1t
pledged itself to rigidly enforce the
laws against trusts, and then sold itself
body and soul to King Havemeyer's
sugar gang.
With such a monument of broken
promises IS II any wonder tnat the peo-
pie refuse to believe or trust the demo-
cratic party?
There are four things the democratic
party must do to redeem itself in the
estimation of the people of these
United States. They are: Reform it
self; fully learn the sacredness of a
pledge; perform honestly and fearless
ly it's duty as expressed in its plat
forms; retire forever and ever the
crowd of fossilated mugwumps who
have got control of it.
These things done-and it will re-
quire long time and hard work to do
them-the democratic party may then
come forward with some hope of being
ut least recognized as n party with
which the people can transact business.
When that time comes large majority
of those now living will have been gath
cred TO the bosom of Abraham. And
the big mugwump will have been for
gotten.-Chicago Press.

water was fairly sizzling, so rapidly

About ten lengths from the finish line

Tae result in Ohio is doubly crafty
