THE VOTERS OF THE FuTuRE.


Those who address our school chill
dren frequently allude to the circum-
stance that their hearers will soon be-
come the men and women who will
control the affairs Of the country. AS
the nation expands and the recurrence
OF a presidential election shows an in
creasing number Of young men coming
forward to appropriate the right Of
American citizenship, is it not well TO
consider what responsibilities this
right involves as well as what privi-
leges 1t confers? To do this properly
we must remember that there was a
time when the people of this country
were the subjects Of a foreign king.
Few young men appreciate that this
right Of citizenship was secured to
them by their forefathers through
long and bloody war. The men who
fought to secure this right to vote
looked upon it as the greatest OF earth
ly privileges, next to the right to wor-
ship God according to the dictates of
their consciences. The one was in
volved in the other. Spiritual free
dom was contained in a government
OF the people by the people-for in the
olden times our earthly rulers assum-
ed authority over spiritual, as we'll as
civil governments. just as they are
now doing in many parts of the world
The men who fought to give this
country civil and religious liberty were
men Of principle Politics with them
was duty. No qualified voter was ex-
pected to shirk voting. 1t was almost
a crime for him to do so, and he was
looked upon with scorn If he did. But
in these modern days there has been a
change. And why is this so? Largely
because politics has been polluted by
the love of gain. Principle in it has
given way to personal interests, and
men Of conscience have been driven
from the polls by this reason. Yet this
is all wrong. and has caused fear that
our government will be overturned
through the ambitions of theunworthy
and the lukewarmness, in political af-
fairs, of those whose duty it is to vote
Conscientious. .Godloving men should
remember that they have a duty to the
country. second only to their duty to
God 1t is their duty to vote in the
canse Of good government and moral

ity. II they do not do so, they are ne
glecting the greatest Of privileges and
the holiest Of rights, one that viii
cause ruin to the government if per-
sisted in by the voters of the future.
To these latter-the young men who
vote for the first time this Fall--lies
the redemption of the coEntry from
those who have already demeaned it,
and will, in the end, ruin it. Do those
who will vote for the first time this
year understand this? DO they under
stand the great responsibility that
rests upon them? DO they appreciate
the heritage of liberty that they have
received and their duty to maintain IT,?
II they do not, there is a sad outlook
for this great republic
Let us hope then, that the young
men, who will this year 20 to the polls
for the first time, will remember the
importance Of the act. and that they
will vote as conscientiously as they
would perform the most important re-
ligious duty If they do this. one and
ALL the country will be safe once for
all, for the trouble Is not so much with
political parties as It is with the people
who form them. If these consist Of
men who love their country-men who
will vote intelligently and conscien-
tiously-we defy any political party
to destroy the nation established by
Washington and his fellow-p patriots.

FOR COUNTY COMPTROLLER.
JOHN BOUGHMAN,
OF Wilmington Hundred.
ELoQUENT. PROFOUND ANp GOOD

ELOQUENT, PROFOUND AND GOOD.
Never was this community more ter
ribly shocked than 1t was this morning
when informed that Rev Merritt Hull
burd, S. T. d., the able and accom-
plished pastor of Grace M. e. Church.
had been stricken with apoplexy and
died At first the news was not
credited, but when It was finally con
frmed it spread from one end OF the
city to the other with lightning rapid
ity, and there was a general expression
of regret that one SO beloved should
have died when at the height Of his
popularity and usefulness. Every home
in Wilmington mourns for him, for he
was such a broad-minded man that de-
nominational lines did not by any
means mark the boundary Of the
sphere Of his usefulness.
He was not only an eloquent
preacher profound expounder Of the
gospel and an excellent pastor in all
respects, but also public-spirited citi-
zen who mingled with men and won
their respect and esteem.
His family and congregation are the
objects of general sympathy, especially
as the blow was so sudden and utterly
unexpected.

might draw a crowd from the big pa rade. Senator Teller was advertised as the principal speaker, and Jones depended upon him to draw the crowd. At 9:30 o'clock Senator Teller had breakfast and was in fine spirits. At 10 o'clock he saw the assembling hosts of Republicans. Then he saw the hote. crowded with ihis old colleagues ant. party workers. It made him blue and Respondent. The parade started and as the first band passed the hotel it was playing the Red, White and Blue" "Union Forever" When the sound fell on MT. Teller's ears he grew pale. It was the same tune the band played as he marched out of the St. Louis convention, followed by his few supporters.
 The Colorado senator stopped talking to friend, and, as the band played on, tears came into his eyes, and he com pletely broke down and went to his room. It was too much for him.
 At noon he sent word to Senator Jones that he was too i'll to speak at the silver meeting. Jones got the message and flew into rage. He came over and stormed and fumed with MT. Teller, but the senator refused to speak. Then Jones tried to find some one to take his place. There was no one in town, and Jones had to go to the meet ing himself and make Idhe speech. No one missed Teller, for there were few at the meeting and they did not pay much attention to Jones. At lunch time Senator Teller was we'll enough to leave his room and go to lunch, and he spent the afternoon and evening with old-time Republicans, for silver men were scarce. The refusal of Teller ito speak at the meeting after he had been advertised for days made Jones very angry with Teller, and there was another lively scene when they met.

How Wheelmen Can Be Utilized to
 Good Advantage.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-What is said to be one of the largest departments at one of the National political headquar- ters in this city, gives its sole attention to wheelmen. 1t is in charge of MT. James R. Dunn of Ohio, and he has under lhim three stenographers, two clerks, page and two mailing clerks. While the bicycle clubs have taken part in previous campaigns, this is the first time an attempt has been made to utilize them as an organized body. There are said to be 1,500,0 men bi- cycle riders in the United States and the claim is made that quite two-thirds of them are, or will be, enlisted in cam- paign work. They are used as mes sengers, distributors of documents, speakers at crossroads meetings, es- corts, e.c., and to take part in the pa rades.

 He is delighted with the prospects for Republican victory in the west. In dispatch he sent to Mckinley he told him to feel assured of the electoral votes of both Kansas and Nebraska. ''The evidences that Mckinley will receive these votes are so plain as to make it safe to send that assurance," he said, ''and I know it will be sus- iajned when the voters register their choice. 1 have been received with the most marked courtesy at every place have visited on the "trip and the pee pie who came out have listened to what was said with evident interest.

robbers saw they were cornered, Charlie Jones raised a rifle he had taken from the store and fired at Clark The bandits were commanded to hold up their hands, but answered with a fusillade of shots from a dozen differ ent directions. Jones and Smith fell to the ground literally riddled with bullets. Harris, mortally wounded, held his revolver and still staggering, continued the battle until he fell. An inquest was held, rendering verdict of justifable homicide. The money was all recovered.
 The Denver police believe one of the robbers killed at Meeker may have been James c. Dunham, who killed his father-in-law, R. P. McGlincy, and all his family near San Jose, California. Dunham is known to have been in the neighborhood of Meeker.

He spoke from gaily dec orated platform erected few hundred yards from the train, making the statement that under the gold standard the dollar would rise in value and property fall in proportion to that rise. Fifteen minutes later Bryan addressed a large crowd at Bessemer. He ridiculed the idea of a flood of money advanced by the supporters of gold.

WE'RE ALL KILLED.
The Bank Robbers in Colorado Fail to
 Escape With Their Booty.

LEADVILLE, Colo, Oct. 15.-A spe- citl from Meeker gives Ghe particulars of the bank robbery there Tuesday af- ternOOn.
 Three men entered the bank of Meeker, which is connected with the storeroom of J. w. Hughes & Co.,, who own the bank Two of the men held up the store employees, while the third went to the bank cashiers window and firing one shot, ordered the cashier to throw up his hands. The manager of the store was then forced to open the bank door and after gathering up all the money in sight, the robbers marched the cashier and store em- ployes into the street with hands up- lifted. Then they rushed out the back way with their booty. Citizens, at tracted by the shots, had pretty well surrounded the building by this time, and being armed, opened fire on the robbers, two of whom, Charles Jones and William Smith, were killed by the first volley. The third man, George Harris, was shot through the lungs, dying in two hours. He is fully identi- fled and gave the names of the other robbers, which are believed ito be fcti- tions.
 Four citizens were wounded dlrin g the fusillade of shots, but it is not believed any of them will die. Great excitement prevails.
 Deputy Game Warden w. H. Clark noticed that three horses were fastened at the rear door, and surmising that the robbers would leave by that route took up a station a short distance from the back door, and centered more men at this place than at any other, not neglecting, however, to keep the front door just as we'll watched. When the
