Mr.. Settles pet scheme, the free
coinage of American silver, was over
whelningly rejected by the National
Republican convention at st. Louis
last month. There never was anything
in it, and the decided manner in which
it was voted down leaves Mr.. Settle
without an inch of ground to stand
on outside the policy of Wall street
He voted three wears ago for the re-
neal of law that practically absorbed
the output of the American mines

The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1896-11-25

The moral motive arises not by con-
temptation of the qualification given by a
certain line of conduct to God or by recol-
lection of superimposed pleasures, secular
or supernatural, present or future, or by
any reference to the social habits or con-
ventions with which the said line of con-
duct may or may not accord. Such moral
motive has nothing to do with obedience
to the revealed will of God, or with the
extraneous conceptions of heaven and hell,
or with punishment or reward from earth
ly rulers, or with the favor or disfavor OF
public opinion. 1t arises from the vivid
ideal representation Of the relation be-
tween action and life The compulsion Of
morality therefore is inner and not outer
compulsion, its authority inner and not
outer authority, its restraints those aris-
ing from the connection of cause and eff
feet, it's sanctions natural, not supernatu-
raj, essential and not fortuitous The
foundations Of the moral code thus belong
to the very nature of sentient life itself,
and it's dictates therefore possess valid
ity, reach, a significance, sacredness, to
which no others can conceivably lay claim.

Odd Miss Podd.

&" Odd Miss Podd'' is the name OF Neli
Burgess new piece which was proouceu
for the FIRST time in this city last eve
ming at the Portland theatre before re-
preventative and large an audience as
ever witnessed pill y here. Mr.. Burgess,
whose portrayal of the quaint and low
able. Aunt Abigail in the County fair en-
over, has in the title role of his new play
a part similar in some respects to that
AIKEN by him in his great success hut
while in many ways the character he
endeavors to portray Is as mirth provok-
ing and amusing as that of Aunt Abi-
gail it calls upon Mr.. Burgess to per-
form the difficult feat of making q most
stained and unnatural character a
natural and life like one. The one fea-
lure of the County Fair, outside OF Mr..
Burgess delineation of the central figure
in it, which made that piece great sue
cess was its pathos and simplicity. This
new play of MIR. Burgess is absolutely
lacking in pathos and there Is not line
in IL which appeals to the heart or tends
to bring the audience into closer touch
with the characters on the stage. sod
N iss Pood" is q very amusing character
when her mishaps, eccentricities and
homely ways are set forth in Neil Bur-
CESS own inimitable manner, but with
out him the play, as 1t now stands
would absolutely fall fiat. 1t goes with
out saying that the work of MI. Burgess
last night was of the finest. He kept
his audience in roar of laughter the
most of the time while on the stage but
wnen be was not in sight the crudenass
and lack of smoothness in the plot and
story built up around "Odd Miss Podd'
was painfully evident and absolutely
chilling in its effect on the audience.
L he play is not without its good points.
however Some Of it's linesiand situations
are very bright and witty but 1t is toe
