The Feast OF Reason Begins.

It was 10. 80 o'clock when the foo
were lingering over cigars and coffee
that President Strong arose and began
his speech by saying.h he felt AXE the

but was "spachiess." President Strong
too, was nigh speachless by reason of
the patriotic sentiment of the gather
Ing. He referred to the presence of an
unusual number of Wilkes Rarreans
which evoked applause, and more an
plause followed when he said the new
acquisition to the ranks would bring an
added loyalty and ability. He looked
Tor congregatiOnalism Of patriotic
sentiment that would continue through
out the land and last forever. It exists
everywhere throughout the United
States, this democratic Puritanisrn.
PRESIDENT Strong alluded to the death
OF TWO members during the year. John
u. Smith and ]. W. Peck. He spoke Of
the rottenness the Lexow and other i'm
vestigating committees had recently re-
vealed OF municipalities. This fact
suggests that there Is lack of robust
Puritanism which shows that we have
been living on the bones of our ances-
tors. We want more manliness and
Righteousness under. the waistcoats Of
our young manhood; we must resist the
tendency of the times. the tendency of
the cavilier--the jollifer. There is too
much Of Charles II. and too little of
Cromwell; the ten commandments, I
am sorry to say. do not seem to be in
vogue. If the ten commandments rot
out, our country will die--it ought to
die. We must assert ourselves for re-
generating ourselves and uplifting the
z race; 1t Is necessary In view OF the d.
vergent interests Of our country in race

Gently made in the chemical division

a view of determining it's comparative
value as a feeding stuff with that

these countries have been shipping
corn in large quantities to Germany

tries of Northern Europe. The ad-

this country to be- Offset by the su-

duct, and this impression Is strikingly
confirmed by the recent analysis. The
samples were found to correspond in
composition to poor corn grown in the
United States, being from 13 TO II
per cent lower in protein, and fully
SO per cent lower IN fat than the av-

will indorse the position of Carlisle
that the greenback must 90. It is
doubtful if any considerable number
OF Democrats can be induced to take
the Carlisle stand. IL referendum
were gotten up and confined to the
Democracy, it is safe to say that the
vote for the greenback would be very
much heavier than the vote against il.
Looking at the matter from party
point Of view, Che Republicans could
not ask for any greater good fortune
than to have the line OF battle for 1896
drawn on the greenbsck III could
be made the really dominant issue in
every state the Republicans would
have every electoral college vote, south
as we'll as north, east as we'll as west.
But no such ssreak OF luck is TO be
looked for. People and events make
the issues in politics. What the
American Nation proposes is to undo
the mischief Of 1892, and no amount
OF outcry about legal tender notes
will serve to divert public attention
and interest. The people know what
they want as truly now as they did
thirty-two years ago. In 1863 they
were in the agonies of cival war and
in no mood for anything but the sup
preston Of the slaveholders' rebellion;
and today they are being squeezed to
poverty in the lree-trade wise, and
propose TO break that wise and get
back to the general prosperity which
prevailed before they got between it's
gripping jaws That is the reason
the Democrats we're beaten at the
polls recently, quite irrespective of
their financial planks. Goldites and
silverites went down in one common
ruin in 1896, aud there 10 every reason
to suppose that il will be still more so
in 1885. The train is already made
up and there is to be no sidetracking.

rFrOm tho Chicago Inter- ocean,

rFrom the Chicago Inter. ocean,
The anti-greenback speech made by
Secretary Carlisle in New York the
other night is generally accepted as
outlining the issue between Congress
and the President. 1t is true that
Mr.. Cleveland sometimes turns down
his Cabinet officers, and no one knows
this better than Mr.. Carlisle himself.
In this instance, however, 1t 10 reSson-
able to suppose that the two are in
entire accord.
Assuming that the Carlisle idea is
the administration idea, the further
reasonable conclusion Is that Presi-
dent Cleveland is trying to fix up an
issue for the next Presidential cam
paign. He may or may not venture
to be a candidate for the nomination,
but he certainly wants to dictate the
nomination and platform, especially
the platform. The extraordinary ef-
fort of the administration in the
Southern and Western states last
summer to control conventions and
name the committee ON resolutions
leaves no room for doubt on that
score. Whether he succeeds or not
will not matter. The people have had
enough Of the Democratic party, both
wings, and propose to retire il to prl-
vate life, and not on pension or half
pay, either. II ia in the power Of the
President to determine what shall be
the issue within his own party, but
not to determine, through horn lock-
ing with Congress, what shall be the
issue before the people between the
two parties.
There are no indications that
single Republican, in Congress or out,
proposes to join 10 demanding the re-
tirement Of the gEeenbsck. No doubt
there are some Republicans here and
there of that way Of thinking, bnt it is
not likely that single state or Con-

What win They Do about II?

Whatever may have been said and done
at the convention called by the Demo.
cratic committee of the state of Illinois
this week, for the purpose Of giving free
silver coinage boom, the very convention
itself is a confession Of weakness on the
part Of the free silverites. There was no
legitimate need Of such convention more
than six months prior to any general cleo
ton in that state and there isn't the
slightest excuse for it except the plea that
Illinois Democrats are for free silver and
wish to demonstrate to the country that
this is their position. AS far back as April
10th the state committee was called to-
gether for this very purpose though there
was not the slightest intimation OF the OBJ
ject in the call. The delegates chosen to
this state convention were not chosen by
the majority Of Democrats in some of the
most influential sections of that state and
do not represent the wishes of the major
ity Of Democrats in those localities but 1t
is very significant of the helplessness of
the better element of that party in the
face of danger that they were not able to
prevent such con vention.
If as the free silver men Of that state
would have us believe they are in the large
majority, why call the convention at this
inopportune day? Assuredly they cannot

would not bear the inspection which
would be given it in the few months In
tervening between now and the usual time
for holding such convention. 1t is diff
cult to see how any other conclusion Is to
be arrived at concerning this SNAP con-
vention unless it be admitted that it was
for tho purpose of stealing Populist
thunder as Populists allege.
1t remains to be seen whether the sound
money Democrats will submit to be thus
read out of the party or whether they
will strengthen the hands of the Republi-
can party In that state in the interests of
an honest money. Senator Palmer is
the only one among them who has dared
to speak his mind. The Others it appears
either are playing a waiting game or are
prepared if they see the strength of tho
organization going that way to commit
their fortunes to free silver. 1t must have
been expectation of this which served as
one of the Inducements for the free coin
age leaders to adopt this unreasonable
method for securing a tighter grip upon
the Democratic machine. No doubt it

(Rockland Star

The Sunday Globe editorial writer is
evidently very much concerned because
the Hon. Thomas b. Reed Is keeping
quiet. 1t suggests that the presidential
bee buzzing In his bonnet must be gagged
else why does it not buzz? The whole
matter is, as we would suggest to our es-
teened contemporary, Mr.. Reed is not
given to talking too much with his mouth
on any occasion. He has nothing to gain
now by talking and why should be be fore
ing his words upon the public upon any
and every occasion? There is no danger
of his sinking into oblivion. He is by no
means so Insignificant that he has to be
continually springing sensational matter
to get him self before the public. After
next December he will be speaker of the
House where his word will be law. Then
let him have his say and we have no fear
but what he will speak to the point and
speak effectively. In long race, 1t is the
man who husbands his wind, who wins
and Mr.. Reed is too discreet to be letting
out this important stock in trade by use
less bellowings and exhortations. Let
him save his wind for the finish.
