Of the slcdge-hammcr of Policy

beautcous statuary which was the
| result Of your years of toll, patience
and care.
Mayhap we will cause the smile
Of incredulity, pcrchancc of criti-
cism, mayhap Of antagonism, to
play on the lips of some OF our
hearers, when we make the state
ment that there is no such thing as
citizenship proper in our State.
But it is the plain. painful, truth,
Can there be citizenship without
the right of ballot? The word cit
izen carries with it an endowment
than which the condition of no
crowned potentate, is grander.
Citizenship is the most precious
heritage; the most sublime state
that civilization has told of. For
it denotes not only freedom but, cs-
pecially as applied to our country,
the right Of protection in life and
property; the pursuit of happiness;
the freedom Of religion; the right
of ballot. And to the guarantee of
all these the military force of our
army, navy and State militia is
pledged. And yet here in Louis
lana this blood-bought heritage,
this boast of Statehood, is decep-
ton, a fraud; made SO by the UNI
holy manipulations of political
sharks, vampires, vultures.
And friends! listen well. You
may flare abroad your brazen
trumpets, telling of the soil, CHI
mate, sanitation and natural adj
vantages Of our State; you may
herald to the world the superior
excellence of our public schools,

we destroy this great evil, Political
Policy, which, like huge anacon-
da, shas it's hideous coil around the
freedom of our intelligent suffrage;
until we lay the axe of virtue to
the root of this deadly upas-trcc
ring politics-and cast it away
from our borders, root and branch;
until we hoist the standard of citi-
zenship to that plane where every
good woman is a welcomed think

lana. Oh, Louisiana! Louisiana!
thou province favored of God; an
nointed by Nature; the home of
poets, statesmen, diplomats, SOL
diers, divines, which have made
the world glow with animation;
you, which art able to rock in the
cradle of human grandeur, are
seemingly, content to dwell among
the hemlocks of political fraud
and corruption.
Ladies and gentlemen of Chau-
tauqua! You trainers of the
minds; We moulders of the intel
lect; you, in whose custody lie the
very destiny of our Nation, through
your pupils, when we look around
us on this supreme scene; note the
traces of earnest thought in your
faces, the marks Of disposition
controlled that you, yourselves,
may govern and build for life, we
are reminded of the close of one of
Gov. Bob Taylor's lectures.
You will remember his vivid de-
scription of the lecture he heard
the arch agnostic, Col. Ingersoll,
deliver. Gov. Taylor said he sat
entranced as he listened to the
masterful orator, the grandiloquent
word-painter. He was carried
away into the realms of ecstacy as
the eloquence rolled from his lips
like the music of a mountain brook.
He builded, he erected, he gilded,
a magnificent picture Of human
life and character. And it stood
out before the gaze of men in all
it's pristine and superlative beauty.
But while they beheld and drank
in the scene angelic, the painter
took up large, uncouth brush,
and, dipping it in the murky, nau-
seating fluid Of agnosticism,
deliberately despatched the mag
nificent vision, until it became
loathsome spectacle to gaze upon.
And SO, my teacher friends, we
bid you heed well the lesson. II
a measure, you occupy the danger
GUS ground. By your instruction
you lay the foundation of charac-
ter in your pupils. Your genius
kindles in their bosoms the fires of
ambition. Your training leads
them into fields and over noun
tains OF investigation of the prob
lens of life. You erect splendid
temple that in mind, conception
and equipment, resembles a MINI
allure of Him after whom they are
fashioned. But, alas! we fear you
neglect the better part, you fail to
instruct them in ideas of ideal
citizenship, and these models

a STANDARD OF CITIZENSHIP.

Civilization is to-day calling for
standard. The Churches first
made the demand; Society echoed
the cry; Education took up the re-
frain; our friend, Mr.. H, H. Har-
grove, united his voice with the
chimes for one for our public
schools.
Realizing the importance Of
standard for all these active prin-
ciples of life, Sentiment has as
sumed their maternity; her deli
cate touch has struck the harp
notes OF necessity, and thus the en-
lightened world resounds with the
symphony of the spirit-lyre. But
hold a minute; nay the civic-heart
melodeon gives not forth it's fullest
music. The attuning chord is lack
ing; the basic principle is out. The
standard Of citizenship is wanting
in Lies Harmonica, sa-s Con-
science, the chief musician Of the
soul. Without this, all others are
but shadowy phantasies, which
can never know reality; and SO to-
day we will add to these the call
for a standard OF citizenship.
But this is no new idea; no rec
ognition of a superior virtue be-
longing exclusively to this time.
Some one has said before:
''There is no excellence without
great labor"
Another great heart and mind has
responded:
''Count that day lost whose low descend
ing sun
Views from thy hand no worthy action
DONE"
And Bryant enjoins:
$50 live, that when thy summons comes
to join
The innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm where each
shall take
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at
night,
Scourged to his dungeon. but sustained
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy
Like one that wraps the drapery OF his
About him, and lies down to pleasant
Dreams"
These speak Of a standard Of cit
izenship; else their efforts are but
sounding brass and tinkling GYM
balls.
And then Longfellow threw his
inspiration into the great life-les-
son when he wrote:
Let us, then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing
Learn to labor and to wait"
And thus all Nature, and Senti-
ment and Human Excellence have
lifted their voices in grand chorus,
until the vast ocean of Time heaves
with the mighty swell of the mus
cal chords.

ton of the present time. The
swelling chorus Of to-day is but
the echo Of the hymn which was
conceived in the Garden Of Eden
was nurtured on the summit of
Sanai; blosst med in Gethsemane,
and fruited on the hill of Calvary.
Do we dream in making this
statement? Nay. Listen!
Genesis 1:27-'So God created
man in his own image, in the
image Of Gcd created he him.
Genesis 2:7-"And the Lord
God formed man Of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nos
trils the breath of life; and man
became a living soul.''
Here we find the standard prime
val. On the very Threshold of
human action; in it's original con-
ception. And what standard!
Man begins his career in the form,
likeness and spirit of his Maker.
Yea, it was God who raised the
standard for man to live by.
But man is forgetful creature,
and he SO diverged from the path
| way Of rectitude that twenty-five
hundred years afterwards Jehovah
stood on Sanai's summit and
planted anew the standard in what
is generally termed the Ten Com
| mandments. See Exodus 2O:3-17.
Then the sunlight of obedience
prevailed for time; the standard
was upheld by number of faith
full men and women, who, how
ever, grew less and less, until the
eclipse of disobedience again man
| tied the world and all walked
about in moral darkness. But one
night as some shepherds were
watching their flocks on the Judean
plains, they were aroused by the
voices of Heavenly Choristers, who
sang songs of JOY and gladness to
all Nations; their jubilee being
"Peace on earth, good will towards
men,
Their carols were of One who
was to lead the crusade supernal:
whose life was to be this sublime
standard. In Gethsemane he eX-
allied it; on Calvary he declared it
finished.
Do we grow fanatical in this ?
Are we indulging in idle phanta-
sizes We are willing to rest our
case with the Author and Finisher
of our being. He knows, he lifted
the standard, and it is God, then,
not the writer of this, who is the
idle dreamer.

The World of Business.
Wall street Yesterday.

New York, May 1.-THE tone of today's
stock market was very uncertain and
prices under went many irregular changes.
In the early part of the day there was
good deal Of apprehension in regard to the
tenor of the Presidents message to Con-
gress upon the condition of American citi-
zens in Cuba, but its publication dissipated
the miedsiness in this respect. Although
the London market was unsettled by reason
OF the extent Of the Turkish demands upon
Greece, the disposition of the foreign
orders in this market was favorable on
balance, and this fact led in the early
dealings TO the covering OF some OF the
short stocks sold on Saturday.
In addition TO the apprehenssons which
were entertained prior 70 the publication
of the Presidents message, there was
some anxiety noticeable as to the action
OF the Senate upon the resolutions looking
TO the recognition of the government OF
Cuba, now pending in the upper house OF
Congress The influence or the chief dis
cussIon OF the matters noted We're with
out particular effect upon the market,
were all OF semi political character, and
there was little news of Importance de-
yeloped within the course OF the day. Be
dealings a firm undertone could be de-
tected, which was most decided in the
granger shares.
The market showed also the same abb
sence of genuine pressure which has been
its chief Characteristic for some time
The only decidedly weak feature was Gen-
eral Electric, which declined sharply Chi
cago Gas was strong and active although
no more definite indications came 10 hand
in regard to the chances for the passage If

stocks were only moderately active and
their prices did not reflect any nervousness
on the part of their holders on account
of the forthcoming investigation
Sugar refining was another active feature
and was steady despite general r"dic-

The trading in the market was chiefly pro-
fessonal and upon only moderate scale
OF activity.

Chicago, May 17--Wheat was weak to-

lures cut but little figure in the present
abnormal situation Of the trade. No one
in the business ever saw declining
market before under such conditions as
are now prevailing.
Corn and oats were lower, the former
under liberal selling against country pur-
chases, and the latter under less active
demand for futures, although cash sales
were liberal, and charters for $4,000
bushels reported.

John Avery, d coiored laborer on the
Chevy Chase division Of the Capital Trac-
ton Company, was struck by an electric
car on that line about 43O o'clock yes

His body was removed to the morgue
at the Seventh precinct station, in George

Dr GlaZebrook at / l O'Clock this IN m

down the grade in charge of Motornan
Beuner and Conductor Springirth, all the
men dropped their tools and cleared the
track in ample time TO avoid an accident.
When the train was within few feet of
the men Avery suddenly darted back TO-
ward the track to procure hammer which
be had left lying between the two rails.
The motorman saw his danger, but as the
car was going at a good rate Of speed be
did not have time to stop the train, and
while loudly ringing the bell shouted to
the man to get off the track. Instead Of
doing so the man seemed to be perpleXed
as to which way to Jump and stepped de-
liberately In front of the car.
The fender struck him with such force
that after it had picked him up, his body
rolled out and fell under the car Again
lie was caught in the second fender which
runs close to the ground just In front of
the wheels This, however, failed to sus-
tain the weight of his body and he rolled
un der the wheels Id was horribly mangied.
The wheels Of both the motor car and the
trailer passed entirely over his body he-
fore the train could be brought to stand
still In addition to this the motor, which
runs about five or six inches from tue
ground. crushed the unfortunate mans
body almost TO pulp
Avery recently came from North Caro-
lima with gang of negroes to work on
the Chevy Chase line. He has no friends
in this city. No blame is attached to the
motorman for the accident, and no ar-
rests were made.
