Stafford's Lecture.
Continued from first page.

stenographers then, and most of the
speeches we're delivered in schoolhouses
in what Webster called 'rubadub' meet
ings, and which he affected to despise
until he learned that his speech of March
Z, 1850, drew only groans and impreca'
tions from the North. This sentiment
was the work of Phillips.
1T was a part of Phillips character
that though shut out Of all the churches,
sneered at and condemned, he still held to
his religion and was never shaken.
CONSIDER what the abolition cause
meant. 1t meant assault on Tie constitu-
ton it meant defence ofprejudice, wealth,
the selfish interest Of society and COM
merce. Slavery was tostered by the
schools, excused by the churches, defend
ed by the press. What did Phillips
preach? Disunion-hateiul word. Did
not Webster preach to applauding mil
lions union forever? ?
Phillips, Garrison and the rest were
the true democrats OF the day. Their
weapons were nothing but agitation,
appeals to the reason. They believe
that talk was omnipotent. Every pub
lie event was a text for an abolition
sermon
"We are too near the times to do JUS
tice to Phillips. You may search the
school histories and popular biograph-
les in vain to find the true record of the
part these heroes played in the struggle.
This is because they represent the atti-
tude of the church and state of that day,
because the histories were written by
men who found little to be proud Of in
the part that they or their fathers took.
"1n 1859 he told Lyman Beecher's con-
gregation in Brooklyn that John Brown
was Gods admiral, sailing the c to
sink pirates, and that John Brown had
more right to hang Gov. Wise than Gov.
Wise would have to hang Brown. The
lesson of the hour was instruction
When South Carolina seeded he was in
favor of letting the South go, but when
Sumter was fired on and the North rose
Phillips recognized that the old consti-
tuition, so far as its pro-slavery provis-
ions were concerned, was dead, that
union and freedom were possible, and so
threw himself into the current he had
himself accelerated. Now, Boston forgot
it's scorn and acclaimed him hero and
prophet.
When the war was over and the
slaves freed, Garrison held that the OBJ
ject of the Abolition Society had been
accomplished, but Phillips held that not
till they were enfranchised would that be
true. Garrison withdrew. Phillips
part in the enfranchisement of the negro
can hardly be narrated. 1t is not GER
tain that he does not owe the ballot to
Philli ps.
His later years seem sometimes the
noblest part OF his career. The ballot
for the negro secured, he plunged into
the Irish question, capital punishment,
rights of labor, woman suffrage and
other reforms. He never turned from
them till he died."
In conclusion Mr.. Stafford asked :"who
knows but that at some future time Bos-
ton will recognize him as her most fitting
type of culture, humanity, and courage,
passing over the names OF her older pat
riots to rest at last on the name of the
great tribune of the people, Wendell
Phillips"

Studying the Air Brake.-The Bos-
ton & Maine had a special car here this
week to instruct the trainmen on the
workings of the air brake. BY a national
law all the freight cars in the United
States must be equipped with air brakes
before 1900, and the B. & M. are gradu-
ally %equipping their cars with the West
inghouse air brake. The car that is at
the station has a number of these brakes
in a row, and in classes Of about half a
dozen the trainmen are instructed how
to operate them. During the time that
classes are not in session the car has
been visited by our townspeople, and the
gentlemen in charge have very courte-
ously shown them around.

They Didn't Take a Paper.

A preacher of this section, since
deceased used to tell the following:
He said be was in Letcher county
preaching on one occasion when he
stopped at a farmhouse to get some
dinner. While eating, the lady OF, the
house inquired his business, and he
replied: II am hunting the lost sheep
of Israel"
She left the room and in a few
minutes returned with. her husband,
when she said: "This man is hunting
some stray sheep, and I'll bet that
old long wool ram that's been around
here is his'n."
mo, sister, you don't understand
me. I am hunting sinners; those for
whom Christ died."
"And is he dead?" she queried.
Eyes" replied the man of God, as
tonished at her ignorance.
"And buried too, reckon?"
''Oh, yes; long ago."
"There, now, old man; I told you
we'd die in ignorance for not taking
a newspaper. Hazel Green (Ky.)
