A REGULAR TURNC0AT.

Mr. Palmer, who is now a candi-
date on the goldbug ticke. for the
presidency of the United States,
made a speech on November 9,
1892, after it was proclaimed that
Cleveland was elected, IN which he
said:
"The election Of Cleveland is in
effect a revolution. 1t crushes pro-
lection as embodied in the McKin-
ley bill, and delivers the agricultu.
raj and industrial labor of the coun,
try from the despotism of organized
capital, illinois will again be a fac,
tor in national politics. With the
corporation of the West and South
it will hereafter exercise a control
ing influence in the policies of the
country"
Now, this was why Mr. Cleveland
was elected, but he did not carry
out the programme of his\election,
and instead OF the agricultural and
ltboring classes getting relief they
got deeper in the mire. Do we find
General Palmer sticking to the
agricultural and mechanical labor
ing class this year to relieve them
from the distress they we're in then,
and for which he felt so solicitous,
at the time he made his speech?
No, sir; we find him Offering himself
asa "decoy duck" to William McKin-
ley to perpetuate these hard times
on the people he was then so solici-
tous to help.
Why this change? Has he been
boodled,' or is it his inordinate
desire to get notoriety that he
changes his position SO soon on a
question that is of so vital impor-
tauce to 70 per cent. of the entire
population of this country? The
above utterances quoted as coming
from him, was taken from a ST.
Louis Republic dated Nov 8, 1892,

THE DECAY OF ORIGINALITY.

Originality is becoming obso-
lete. We see no more of it. The
creative organs of the intellect
have either lost their power or
man is satisfied with what has
been accomplished; and so those
thoughts which in the olden times
were wont to stir the mind of man
to invention, now lies dormant.
But why should man be contented
with something nature is not? Do
we not see constant : changes
around us? The sky and leaves
and trees are perpetually chang
ing, and so it was once with the
mind of man. But it is so no
longer, and there is no surmising
when the intellect will again wan
der through untrodden regions
and create new lights and shad-
ows. The mind should continu-
ally be seeking new channels, new
springs-springs make oceans.
Will this lack of intellectual
energy be productive of some
good? Possibly, yes. 1t may
spur The intellect, at its awaken
ing, to grander achievements. It
may create some stars that will
burst forth in a new effulgence
to brighten the sky of inter-
vening night, into one equally,
if not brighter, than the intellec
tual sky of the past.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND EDUCATION.

There was time when educa-
ton was a luxury beyond the
reach of the poor; but that time
has long since taken its place
among the things that were.
Our system of public schools,the
grandest ever conceived by man,
has made it possible for the, inn
pecuniary youth to obtain a good
practical education gratis. In no
manner has this great govern
ment better illustrated its wisdom
and liberality than in placing the
rags of poverty on an equality
with the purple of wealth educa-
tionally.
In the present age the illiterate
can reprehend none but them
selves. When on the stage Of life
they are sujected to the humilia-
ting realization of their ignorance
they can neither attribute the
cause to their parents nor.the gov
ernment; If the former were too.
poor to provide for their educa-
tion, the latter generously ahd
,ungrugdingly rendered it to them.
Therefore those who are disqual-
flied from voting oy reason of
the educational clause de-
serve no sympathy. T5ey alone
are. responsible for v IL illitera-
Cyl Therefose shen the public
schools are III session and their
children are of educable age, let
the many unpleasant experiences
be recalled that would have been
avoided if they had been educa-
ted, and let it stimulate them to
the recognition of the fact they
owe their children an education
and under no circumstances must
it be neglected. g
