field along the whole line of disorder and en-
force his proclamation. II was a brave and
honest discharge OF constitutional duty. Ii
the President had shirKed or neglected TO per-
form it and left the anarchist Governor of Illi-
nois to pander to the element then in control,
there would not to-day be State government
in operation west OF the State OF Ohio. Presi-
dent Cleveland, by his prompt and vigorous
Intervention, saved the Union. No one will
understand me as condemning or being OPP
posed to any association Of laboring men or
women having for its object intellectual, So
ciaf or moral Improvement or the mutual
financial aid of its members.
Such associations are praiseworthy and
should be aided and commended Nv objee-
tions are to violence, lawlessness and crime; to
the unions preventing by violence and force
the lawful pursuits of any man; to the willful
destruction of the property of any person nat
ural or artificial; in short, to violations of
law of any character by individuals or asso-
Citations. Congress during its session of six
months was very much agtated over the ag-
gressions of Great Britain in Venezuela and
worked itself into torrent and tempest of
passion over the woes of Cuba, but failed even
to attempt the slightest relief to the stagnant
industries of its own country. On the con-
trary, it seemed oblivious to our financial con-
ditions, as the enormous and extravagant ap-
We need REFORM cease living on borrowed
money; it is neither honest nor prof table. We
must live within our incomes, like our fathers
pay as we go.
These and the other evils under which we
are suffering are not without remedy. Having
inherited this magnificent National patri-
mony, the duty of preserving it for our chill
dren devolves upon this generation The
crisis demands moral courage and prompt ac-
~
scribed and others well known to you. 1t is
the duty OF every citizen to devote some of his
time, and all of it on election days, to pro-
curing good Government. Recur to the JEFF
fersonian qualification, "Is he honest? Is he
capable?'
The Republic is peace. Its destiny is not
war and conquest but the less snowy and more
substantial and happy industrial and COM
mercial and scientific arts of peace.
Let our Congress declare war less and re-
lieve the people more; let us respect and obey
and demand implicit obedience to the laws,
protect the legal rights of all; let us not for
moment think our ancestors have performed
our duties; let rather consider that every
age in Republic has its part to bear, in the
upward and onward progress of the nation,
and from this moment let our firm resolution
be taken to do our best work for the preserva-
ton, glory, prosperity and happiness of our
own beloved republic.
New occasions teach new duties;
Time makes ancient good uncouth:
They mount upward STILL and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth;
Lo. before us CLEAN her campfres we
ourselves must pilgrims be,
Launch our Mayfiower, and steer boldly
Through the desperate winter sea,
Nor attempt the futures portal with
The past blood-rusted key.
At the conclusion of Judge Carpenters
address Mrs. John Pettee sang "Our Grand
Army of the Dead" Rev. Mr.. Walk
briefly spoke on the idea of memorials
showing their necessity and great good to
the human mind and heart. 'They are
monuments we build in the memory" he
said, Ito mark some step of the worlds
progress" America, was then sung by
the audience, led by Professor ]. McKen-
zie. There was also a recitation by Master
Mat Carpenter Dillingham;, and a brief
