1t leads us to fear the suppression OF
the public huctuation of thought
that puts each party on its guard
1t may precipitate again the conflict
that watcred our birthplace with
, blood when men demanded theli
right to be represented. That pol
son is BOSSISM. Think for a
moment what things bosses set out
to accomplish and you will realize
how abhorrcnt such people are to
the American instinct. A boss has
no genuine political beliefs; he will
as gladly deal with the boss Ola d'f-
ferent stamp, as he will listen to his
own helpers. Unlike leaders who
are called forth by the compelling
voice of people who recognize
merit, bosses are the cunning users
of fortuitous circumstances. Placed
in some temporary position of power,
the boss plots to make his hold per-
manent and panders to the lowest
instincts ofgreed in gathering around
him cringing sycophants ready to dc
his will. A boss will sit down
months before a campaign and plot
while men OF upright thought are all
unsuspicious. His followers will

Noah After the Flood.

The first fruit planted by Noah when he left
the ark was the grape, the most healthy OF all
the products OF the earth. All through the Bible
we read Of grapes and wine from grapes being
recommended as the first remedy for the ills of
life; but 1t is pure Juice wine, not watered and
sugared Juice that the Bible refers to.
Sugared wines are highly alcoholic and
starchy the sugar making excess OF alcohol
and other products not belonging to q health
ful wine.
Speer OF New Jersey, the Oldest wine grower
in the United States, has studiously avoided
water and sugar or any foreign substance what
ever but has his wine fully mntured by great
age and careful handling.

to make it; though when power is
placed in its hands, it Immediately
develops caretulness, because it is
brought face to face with burdens
that are visible only from within.
Thus each party is really engaged
in paving the way for a later
triumph of the other. This action
and reaction in national lite, like
activity and sleep in the human
body, make us steadily progressive.
If no unnatural means are used to
suppress the expression OF the
peoples thought, this cbbing and
flowing Of public opinion is as much
to be expected as the tides of the sea.
and in the ebb and flow is health,
for no party ever can or ever will
gather into its ranks all the good
and wise and upright.
In danger from leaders? No;
leaders are natural. Men gather
more eagerly around an idea with a
man back of it, than they do around
IL mere thought standing by itself.
AT heart we are all hero-worship-
ers; we cling to those who embody
our thought. May the Weigher of
Nations raise up more standard bear
ers! We need not doubt He will,
tor hitherto the seed-time and har-
vest of great hearts and great-souls
have failed us.

Some Rambling Thoughts.
BY MEMO
Iropyrlgnted by Dave { TaDer. ]


To VOTERS, III Firmly do
we believe in the national heart,
and that its beats are true with de-
sire for national health and great
neSs. Just as we have confidence
in the depth and purity of the great
ocean, though perhaps only few
muddy wavelets come near our feet
along the beach 50 do we hook in
faith down through the troubled
surface Of political life to the great
body in whom we trust. We must
believe in ourselves, in our possible
glory, in our destiny as republic,
in the peaceful development OF self
government by sclf-governing hosts,
for can we not detect in our very
geography the tracings of Il mighty
purpose, and in our history can we
not hear the actual football of the
Almighty? Without faith in your
self you individually will become a
weakling, and a non-entity; without
faith in our nation, weakening
element III its lite-blood. When be-
lief perishes, we perish for the be-
lief of the heart moldeth the outer
life. When the vision of heights
unattained still stretches before us,
happy are we as nation. Out OF
obscurity comes voice to your ear
pleading for Faith, more faith !"
But we are in profound danger.
From striving parties and conflict
ing ideas? No, Il thousand times q!
Parties are balance wheels, and par
ties are safety valves. Speaking
broadly, the party with an idea,
when IN is always conservative he
cause Of the watchfulness of the
party that is out. The party ont is
ever restless for change and urgent

These are they who have atirightcd

These are they who sell legislation

who are driving us forward to Il ma

slow to anger; but the day of reck-

purloined privileges is bound to
come unless we right wrongs, and
that right speedily.
The difference between IN honor
able courageous general and Il blood
thirsty bandit chief, is the difference
between trusted leader and self
seeking boss. Compare Lincoln's
solemn recognition of the horror Of
the burden which was upon him,
which marred his face with seams,
which bowed his herculean frame,-
compare that with the fiippant mis-
use of money, of steam, of electrici-
ty, of any or every thing, by the
modern boss not only to avoid do.

present legislature have again shown
platts supremacy in nominating him by
practically unanimous vote
Pla,t's victory is all the more remarkable
when II is considered that he is not only
no statesman but not even an honest man.
The faint OF jobs innumerable hangs round
him. Every movement he makes is actuated
by seltishness and accomplished by cor
ruption. Yet to oppose him only one man
could be brought forward by the quasi
decent republicans OF New York. And that
man. Of brilliant intellect OF unimpeach-
able character. and backed by the solid
citizens" OF the State, got only votes TO
Platt's IA! The occurrence is disgraceful
to even the New York republicans.
