THE LIBERTY BELL.

From its home i'll Philadelphia comes the
forth the glad tidings of American Independ-
ence more than hundred years ago.
All along its travels from Pennsylvania to
Georgia, it has been splashed with editorial ink,
with the pale, thin oratory of the official
spouter with the huzzas of the unthinking
two legged donkeys, and with general erlip-
ton of the advertising department of the At
lanta Exposition.
All of which is quite correct, and strictly
customary.
The Bell itself lends voice to all the
clamor. There's ga rift in the Lutte a crack
in the Bell and it is solemnly silent.
Amid all the speaking, it is dumb amid all
the warmth of welcome, it is cold
And who could wish it otherwise Is
mockery to reach 10 limit, and hypocrisy to
leave no realm unconquered?
Swing aloft the grand old relic OF nobler
days, close the wound in its side, and give mo-
tion to its iron tongue, and what peals of JOY or
hope or inspiration could it send thrilling
through the souls of men?
Where is the "I4iberty' it celebrated cen
tury ago
Where the statesmen who planned a union
of human brothers i'll which man should
enjoy privilege before the law not enjoyed by
the humblest of his fellows
Where are the Pilgrims who had writhed
under the joint tyranny of Church and State,
and who solemnly swore that the new govern

Dumb OF course thou art dumb, iron
orator of cause that is lost
Silent Aye, silent forever, thou voiceless
visitor from an age that has gone-to come no
more.
A hundred years ago thou couldst speak, and
there were men to hear thee.
Never did the world see manlier men, No
chains for them,-no shackles, no serfdom.
Be,ter the death OF the patriot than the isnoble
ease of the slave.
Laws had been broken, injuries inflicted, re-
monstrances ignored, petitions repelled,
Every resource OF patience and of conserva-
tism had been exhausted, and following each
submission of the Colonies came a holder in

ed in hopeless mire OF argument taxpayers,
of the milder sort, meekly preached submissive
obedience tradesnen and property holders, of
the milder sort, deprecated violence and frown-

Whereupon a demagogue, with head on
him and a soul in him, dashed into the debate

A BATTLE SONG OF LABOR.

The following appeared in an exchange
emily from the pen of Herbert N. Casson:
What can save this fallen country,
With its houses built on graves?
Where the strongest men are devils,
And the weakest men are slaves
Farmers, tradesmen and mechanics,
Sowing seed with toll and pain;
Bankers, lawyers, landlords, idlen,
Reaping all the golden grain.
Rascals snatch where true men labor,
Fops and fools have countless gold:
When shall come our new Messiah,
Like the labor kings of old
Is it life to toll and suffer
Is it life to drudge and sleep?
What about the minds expansion
Is man below sheep? :
Natures law says life and freedom;
Human law says woe and death.
Every day the legal sneak-thieves
Rob the poor of bread and breath.
War is nobler than corruption
Force is better far than fraud;
Are not lightnings purifiers
Fiercely flashed by natures God1
Anything but meek submission,
Cringing low in sweat and CRIME
They are rebels who endure it
Patience is the poor mans crime.

were hacking the woodwork with
their bayonets. Bassett promptly
went to them and in his quiet way re-

Every desk in the Senate had history

all of great age. though they are kept
in such thorough repair that they have
the appearance of being new. He could
tell who had used each desk, and his
mind was filed with personal Incl
dents connected with the Senate prop
erty. 1t was such things that appeal
ed to him. He knew little about the
political business of the Senate, and
while he thought little of the great
political significance of speech, he
would remember the speech and it's
peculiar effect on the Senate and the
occupants of the galleries. He had no
politics, except that he was an intense
Union man. and TO him the country
was one, and political divisions seemed
insignificant. All Senators were sim

called forth his most intense interest

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-(Special.)
1t is more than likely that the House
felt so good over itself after passing
the $4,000 war resolution yesterday
morning. that it thought it could adj
iourn at that point without any unta-
yorable comment from the dear peo-
pie. For it really meant an adjourn
ment until after the holidays. The
House will convene Friday morning to
hear the announcement OF committees,
and then scatter until January 3, 1896.
The joint resolution approprlatlng
the $1,000 for the Venezuelan com
mission, as requested by the President,
did not for some reason go to the SEN
ate at once for concurrence, but the
Senate will no doubt take it up early
this morning, and pass it.
The House galleries were filled yes
terday sometime before Reeds gavel
fell, with spectators, braced with the
yintable battle-tonic that seemed to
fill the chamber. The representatives
Strengthened themselves more than
usual as they walked across the floor,
as if to say: Keep your eye on me,
I'm q fighter straight. See?
At the conclusion of the prayer, IN
which, strange to say. in this time OF
political prayers, was contained no di-

600 appropriation recommended by
the President in his message. The man
seemed to show in his voice the emo
ton that evidently possessed him. His
utterance was trifie unsteady at flrst,
as the members, every one turned al
most breathlessly towards him. They
stood in groups in front of the Speak
