Tuesday next is fraught with grave
possibilities for the American repub-
lie.
One hundred and twenty years
ago men whose patriotism has never
been questioned said their country
must be free of despotic rule and Of
despotic rule twas freed.
In 1776 the American colonlsts
resolved to repell the iron hand Of
rule which extended from across
miles and miles of water. Will the
descendants and followers of those
revped patriots allow that same
hand to rise from the very seat of
our government and crush out the
freedom of our institutions and place
shackles upon the limbs of human
hberty2 Such is the condition that
confronts US, and the man who at
tempts TO smile it away is either q.
knave or fool.
They tell you the Chicago platform
Is charged with anarchy and revoiu-
tion; King George said the same Of
the declaration of independence, but
the denunciations of his majesty did
not dlsheerten the founders of the
new government the sound Of mus
kerry was their only answer.
The declarations Of the Chicago
assembly will again save this coun-
try. The anarchy and revolution
which they say it contains is like
Banquo's ghost only seen by the
guilty Macbeth. Search the reput-
lie over and the only man Who will
shrink from the gaze of our clee nsed
democracy is he who IS gulssy Of
having traversed uEon grounds held
sacred by the constitution Of the I'M
tied States.
In all ages has wealth tried to em
power itself and to draw distinctions
between itself and poverty. Such
distinction if recognized by the gov
ernment must perforee prove fatal to
our free institutions, and in time con-
vert our government Of law and or
der into one of violence and blood
shed. The uninterrupted eentraii-
zation Of wealth means the cen.rali-
cation Of power and The Capitalization
of power means the dissolution of
our democracy. 1t is the powerful
opposition of the democratic party

His marvellous voice seems indes.

GAS the train neared the west
ern section of Indiana, the crowds
grew larger and more purely DEM
ocratic. Mr.. Bryan and his wife
threw bushels of flowers from the
end of the train. At times the
demonstrations of the crowd
reached the ppint of xdoration.

The crowds seemed to 60 mad as
his carriage was dragged through
the streets, surrounded by mount
ed guards. 1t was q tremendous
spectacle. and one that would have
disturbed Mr.. Hanna's placid

out of place in the room devoted to
the devotional exercises in the insti-

a CRUSHING DEFEAT.


Battle Between Italians and Abyssinians
Results in the Loss OF 5000 Men and0O
Cannon by the Former.
ROME, March 4.-Further details OF
the battle fought between the Italian
and Abyssinian troops last Sunday
show that the Italians were defeated
with loss Of 5000 killed, including
Gems. Dabormima and Albertone. The
fight lasted the entire day. Gen. Bar
atieri, with the wounded Gen. ELENA
and his forces and those under Gen.
Arimondi, have returned to AdecaJe,
100 kilometres from Adowa.
The government has called out the
entire reserves Of 1872.
The news from Massowah OF this
crushing defeat has created great ex-
element throughout Italy. The oppo-
sition press declare that Gen. Baratieri
has suffered an. enormous loss OF men,
arms, etc, claiming that he lost 90
guns and all of his provisions. The
government newspapers confirm the
reports already published as to the
Italians being compelled to abandon
their positions, adding that their gun
carriages and many of their guns were
abandoned.
All of the available transport steam
ers have been ordered to assemble at
Naples on March to convey reinforce
ments to Abyssinia. Gen. Baldissera,
who was recently appointed to sue
ceed Gen. Barateiri in the chief COM
mand of the Italian forces in Africa,
has arrived at Massowah. The cabl-
net sat in closed session from late Mon
day night until late yesterday morn
ing, discussing the situation in Abys-
sinia. The scenes in the streets are
very exciting and denunciations of the
ministry are frequently heard.
1t is reported that Gen. Barateiri's
attack upon the AByssinian army was
the result of desire to make a granc
coup before he was superseded by Gen
Baldissera.
Among the many reports current
yesterday, was one to the effect that
Gen. Baratieri had committed suicide
being unable to endure the humilia
tion of his defeat. This is the seconC
crushing defeat that the Abyssinian
have inflicted upon the Italians since
the latter attempted to extend theil
power in the domain of King Menelik
About three months ago five companies
of Italian troops under command o
Maj. Tozzell, were surprised and sur
rounded by force of 2,5Oo Abyssin
ians. The Italians made a desperate
resistance and fought until their am
munition was exhausted, when tn
, Abyssinians charged upon them ant
massacrcd nearly the whole force
Fourteen Italian officers and over 70
: men were killed.
