AS TO MoNoPoLIEs.

Politicians, both on the stump
and in the press-no matter to
whatparfy they claimed allegiance,
for ten years have hurled
their anathemas at the trust
and combines. With this as their
war cry, they have time and again
ridden into Office upon the CALLED
shoulders of a distressed and ovel
credulous people,
The record of their Legislation
fails to show one single instance
in which they have made even Q
feeble attempt to carry out theil
pledges to the people as to thi'
matter.
Why? -.....
Because they themselves wert
members and benefciaries Of thai
most baneful and putrid monopoly

WORDS OF DIR. TALMAGE.

The Rev. DR.. T Dewitt Tai,
mage in speaking Of the great
monetary question after he had
returned from an extended tour Of
the Southern States, said: I'll
the silver people win, | believe
there will be such revival in
business, such a booming in indus,
tries which are now inactive, and
such general shaking up Of
commercial interests that the
country will be sure to prosper.
The reverend gentleman, who is
one Of the greatest preachers d
today, is a keen observer, and can
see which way the wind blows as
quickly, with as much certainty
as the shrewdest politician. lie
does not only preach to the PEG
pie, but he ming.es with them
feeling the popular pulse and
searching the hearts Of his
countrymen.
"My associations and train
ing and my political affiliations
of the past place me on the side
of a single standard" he eau
tiously said, and then, as Q
twinkle came into his eye, hs
added: 'rBut instead of disaster
and ruin following in the wake
of the silver movement, the op
posite will be the result.
The above, coming from al
great man and thinker as DR.
Talmage, should be give consid
Grafton and thought. The silve
movement is fast gaining
ground.

MIR. THOMAS AGAIN.

The speech Of Jno. L. Thomas,
of New York, canvasser for the
Bentley-Southgate national ticket,
in the court house here on Mon
day night, is worthy of more ex-
tended notice than we were able
to give in our local columns yes
terday,
1t was a mastery effort, rich in
facts, pure in logic-a farcical
comedy of the hypocracy OF
church and political monopolist
who not only crush out the life
blood of religion and patriotism,
but the most sacred attributes Of
the government itself. The
wholesome truths, and the most
damning sarcasms were yelled in
such language and manner the
culprits themselves applauded. II
was mastery appeal TO humanity
for humanlty's sake-rich in by.
perbole, anecdote and appropriate
application of moral. 49,
Abiding directly to the politi-
cal monopoly which now controls
the country (the duck hunting dy
nasty),in most impressive voice ht
proclaimed that "Grover Cleve
land was the arch robber o
American citizens" and, later on
that he "has been the most mag
nificent republican for the pas
four years" Abiding again tt
the financial fraud which hal
been practiced upon this country
and those upon whom the re
sponsibility rest, rising on hi
toes, with arms extended Heaven
ward. with the voice of a Patricl
Henry, and the manner of
Cicero, he eliminated his CRANE
perioration with "Grover Cleve
land and John Sherman will G,
!, down in the history of our coun
try IN one Shiboleth of infamy.'
After his explanation of tn
financial system his assertion tina
he ''impeached the gold dollar a
the most dishonest ever coined
touched a responsive cord in tn
hearts of the audience. The pit
is that such principles and plat
form as he advocated will be LEI
ont by a large majority, and tn
technical divisions of those seel

beyond measure on observing a white
figure prowling about the back Of the

that there was a burglar within the

Masonry and ReiIr,oc

1t is sometimes objected to masonry
that many OF its members are nm.
worthy men. which Is doubtless true.
we make no apology for unworthy
men In masonry or in the church. or
anywhere else. 1t is too true that nm
worthy persons are found in all good
organizations, but it Is one of thu
worst forms Of wickedness to seek the
name and protection of that which /,
good Masonry owes all its beautiful
and sublime lessons to Christianity.
Tor Christianity exceeds 1t as the sun.
shine exceeds the moonlight-there il
no conflict between them. The Chris
