THE FIRST AWAKENING

We should have expected the re-awaken-
| ing OF that moral sense has not been ut
terly destroyed among gold Democrats by
Wall and Lombard street citations co
begin with and to find its earliest express
| sion from the mouth of Henry Watterson.
We did not expect it SO soon, and, hence,
| are encouraged. IL has started with the
warning speech of Mr.. Watterson, delivered
at the banquet of the New York Board of
Trade and Transportation, and addressed
TO representatives OF the class he has so
ably snd devotedly striven to clothe with
| the power for evil, and whose exercise OF
it he criticises.
The logic of the gospel Of gold. preached
by Henry Watterson and his school, is to
place the amassing of riches above all
other considerations. He and his Repub-
iican allies have deified Pantheon full
OF bankers and bond dealers, and given
them dominion over the people. That do
minion became complete with the adoption
of the single standard, and everything that
the orator viewed with alarm followed
necessarily He was brilliant, eloquent and
truthful, but not consistent. He warned
his hearers of the ugly feeling growing
among the masses, in consequence OF the
Oriental ostentation of wealth on the part
OF the syndicate plutocrats. He cautioned
them that the open and impudent pur-
chase of legislation and the delegation
OF public office to paid attorneys would
lead TO certain trouble, and he said that
IF the better elements of society are so
careless of moral obligations and public
appearances, it might happen that the
worse elements would some day organize
a raid upon their own National Capital
The evils and dangers are all that Mr..
Wattcrson's fervid eloquence has painted
them. His conscience is at last alive. The
iron. having entered his soul. let us pray
that il may also penetrate and oxidize his
mental processes: and thus facilitate his
return to the paths Of true economic and
political religion and virtue Already ne
gazes upon some of the results OF his
work, and shudders.

THEY ARE ANGRY.

We have received d communication from
Boston. ana publish it this morning, in
wIdch tie writer says tina. the people OF
that city are angry with Senator Hoar
that their anger is the result of the
information they have received of this
eminent person tyrannical act in having
a STREET car conductor OF family dismissed
from Iis place because. without intending
ofleHse, he hurt the Senator's pride by
attempting to prevent the old man from
being hurt physically.
This may be the fact now existing;
but tie anger of the Boston people win
not en6ure. They don t get very angry-the
Republican portion Of them-at any Repub-
Hcan politician; and the little anger
they do permit themselves to feel now and
then is not of long duration; and so, the
Irate people Of Boston viii become calm
again. and wien Senator Hoar next claims
their favor UP viii go their hats for him
and they VIII cry his name in applause.
Ii is true that the old man has been
guilty Of cruel act. He las thrown
workingnian of family out of employment
out Of a place in which the man had an
opportunity to make a living for lis in
valid wife and helpless child. He has
been mean, tlis scolding old fellow, this
man with the devilish instincts of
tyrant in lis heart; this man who smiles
and smiles and is a cruel fellow still;
this man Of the cheruhic face, whose
tongue is as sco!dy as that of a fishwoman!
But what OF that? He is a Senator OF the
United States; and therefore, bad as he
Is off come most hats, and nearly all
people bow to him
But if Senator Hoar has made the
record OF a cruel, mean and bad man in
tins car conductor case, what should be
said OF the railroad company that thus
scrvilcly obeyed the Senator. and, in order
70 retain the old mans influence in the
Senate, discharged its conductor? Ger
tainly tie action Of the company in thus
yielding 10 this cruel demand of the Sen
ator was meancr even than the action OF
the Senator; and therefore it seems to us
that the voice of the public should make
this fact clear to that trucking corpora

THE NATIONAL LIBRARY,

The Library bill, in the condition In
which it now goes to conference, is, in the
main, acceptable.
II provides for the appointment of
librarian by the President, with the con-
sent OF the Senate, and there is no OBJ
lection to that feature, if it be under
stood and arranged that the present librar-
ian is To- be the appointee. Otherwise there
il ground for strong objection. MIR. Spot
ford has devoted the best years of his
life. and his great skill and technical ac-
complShments, to the service OF the Con-
gresSiouaI Library. The new and perfected
Institution whose splendid palace already
is the pride of every American, has been
his hope and dream for a quarter century.
To its realization he has surrendered leiS-
ure, comfort. and almost everything. Now
that il has become reality, his mode eSt re-
ward should not he put in any jeopardy
whatever. IL executive action has been
duly contracted for, all right. In any other
event We hope the hill in that respect may

he was an energetic and capable young
German, and he fell in love with his em-
ployer's daughter. The old man took him
into partnership and changed the name of
theconcern TO the Anheuser Busch Brewing
Company. Anheuser is dead, and Busch
now owns most of the stock of the COM
pany. He is well-preserved man of
sixty odd years, and he makes more beer
than any other concern in the world. When
he grew rich he did not go upon one of
the swell streets of the town to build .
mansion, but put up a substantial brick
house within the brewery enclosure. His
married son has house near by. Nobody
knows how many millions the old man is
worth. He got his wealth honestly by
making the best beer he could. Capt
Pabst, of Milwaukee, used to command
lake steamer. running along the Wisconsin
coast. On one of his trips he had among his
passengers the daughter of Best, the brewer.
The young people fell in love with each
other ON that sunny voyage. They were
married, and in course of time, Capt
PabSt inherited the brewery Best beer
became Pabst beer and the only trace of
the late Mr.. Best about the enormous
concern is to be found on the bottles of
Malt Extract, which are labeled Best

Why Parrots Swear So.

There is queer little back room on
the Bowery, where an old bird fancier
trains parrots to talk, says a New York
observer. He owns two or three wise
old ones, and they do the teaching To all
young imported birds. The dealer frankly
confesses that he sells the stupid parrots
as fast as lie can. but holds those of any
promise for old maids and actresses, they
being tile heaviest purchasers. If they take
fancy to any one of the birds, and it is
a good talker, lie says he can demand al
most any price. When asked why so
many parrots swear he said they take
to it naturally, the. sharp exclamations
exactly suiting their tongue. He denied
that he taught them to swear, but says
they pick the words up from visitors and
the toughs outside the door. He has one
old sinner that for bil!ingsate can out
swear the worst of them

HE BU1IDED WELL

Billy Mason has made his calling and
election sure. In the Senate he will repre-
sent, as the colleague of Senator Cullom.
the great State of Illinois.
And We are glad of it, For Billy is
what is sometimes called ''bulIy boy"
and the like of him does not now abound
in the upper chamber. He is mirthful, and
is the cause OF mirth to Others. He is tall
across; but, even If he is small in stature,
heis greatin good many ways, which, in
the language of the auction BILL it would
be too tedious 70 mention. He Will laugh
his way into the affections of his col
leagues, and Will be forever the amuse-
ment, if not the JOY, of the Senate.
Rut let il not be concluded hastily that
Billy Mason, because he is a laugher, and a
Joker, and sometimes even a clownish
kind OF fellow, has no solid ability. he
caa lie serious when occasion demands, and
sometimes be devotes himself TO the busi-
enss OF thinking on public affairs, and
succeeds beyond all expectation. And
really, Row and then, he shows great
familiarity with public affairs, and rises
into the higher regions of craftsmanship.
he speedily drops from that great aIti-
5ude, and, as a rule, remains close 60 the
common earth, doing things in the ordinary
way OF ordinary men, but always with a
smile on his face and joke on his lips.

NOE WITHOUT LOGIC.

The specific claims to recognition for re-
centpolitical services, pl forth b. the a fro
American wing OF the Republican party,
do not appear to be unreasonable in prin-
cipIe. The extent TO which they would in
wade the grab bag, if allowed. is a matter
between friends and does not concern us
In the interests OF fair play, however,
Major Mckinley should not be allowed to
forget that the colored population of the
United states gave him more than mil
lion votes, and, hence. the election.
We regret that there is more serious
reason. equally binding but less worthy,
why the next Administration should deal
literally with the Afro-American contin-
gent. 1t is because the Republican party
always has appealed to colored voters as
SUCH insisting upon its assumed benignity
to them as a race, and doing everything
possible to inflame their prejudices, also as
a race, against another national party
everywhere regarded, except among the
mass OF colored voters, as the friend and
the party Of the plain people. It is from
the race point OF view that tie allegiance
of Afro-American citizenship is claimed
and held by the Republican party, and par
tisan rewards should originate from the
like STANDPOINT.
Under the spirit of Democratic sentiment
and doctrine this W ould be different. The
Democratic party sees only American citi-
zens in the voters who flock to its banners,
and conforms the idea Of appealing to
them otherwise, merely because numbers
OF them may happen to be more or less
antecedently Irish, German, Italian. Ar
menian or Abyssinian. Therefore, uuder
Democratic administration, we should say
that it would be wrong to listen to de-
mands for office, based on race or re-
Iigion. In this respect, however, the party
coming into power, like Cadmus, has
sowed the dragons teeth, and from them
we only hope that a crop OF insistent
claimants Will spring, who will fight like
the Kilkenny cats.

OUR
Remnant Day..

We are not trying to keep
store like other people. We have
a way of our own. We conceive
the idea of modern storekeeping
to be the suppl ying the demand
OF our customers-the public
for their daily wants at the low
est prices, quality considered,
and from a properly assorted
stock-as to styles, sizes, general
fitness, etc. Hence we advertise
regularly, five days of each week,
only complete lines of fresh and
perfect goods, and reserve for
one day-Friday-our remnant
day-broken lines and sizes, odds
and ends, short lengths, ETC.,
giving The exact size, quantity
and length we have to sell at the
prices that you may know at a
glance whether it will or will
not meet your need.
This will be an interesting
Remnant Day to the many who
know the great inducements we
offer to our patrons TO relieve US
of our weekly collection of REM
nants. Articles of use, comfort,
convenience and ornament for
home and the person will be in
the great list. And we've mark

1t is estimated, says the Philadelphia

least So, 900 annually which would
otherwise have to be expended in foTtifica-
tions and in fleets for American waters;
and, OF course, there would be correspond
ing saving to our Treasury. This may not
recommend the treaty to the statesmen who
think that big expenditures and national
greatness are synonymous; but it will ad-
ditionally commend the compact to the
people who recognize the truth that peace
means economy and that economy means

The Dream-Town Show

There is an island in Slumber Sea
Where the drollest things are done,
And we will sail there, if the winds are

Just after the set of sun.
'Tis the loveliest place in the whole wide
Or anyway, so it seems;
And the folks there play at the end of
each day
In curious show called Dreams"
We sail right into the evening skies,
And the very first thing we know
We are there at the port and ready for
sport,
Where the dream folks give their show.
And what do you think they did last night
When l crossed their harbor bars?
They hoisted plank on great cloud bank
And teetered among the stars.
And they sat on the moon and swung their
feet
Like pendulums to and fro:
Down Slumber Sea is the sail for me,
And 1 wish you were ready to go,
For the dream folks there on this curious
isle
Begin their performance at eight;
There are no encores, and they close their
doors
On every one who is late.

The seven O'Clock bells chime;

The anchor is drawn, we are off and gone
To the wonderful Dream-Town show.
