grist, and men and women and children,
human flesh and blood and bones, human
aspirations and hopes and opportunities;
yea, and human virtues, are shoveled into
the yawnang hopper to come forth as prohts
as SO much money and not so much man
hood. But when the cup of patience is full,
a spirit whispers new thought IN the ear
of the bent toiler and breathes into his dusty
nostrils the breath of larger life. Then
does the Son of Earth stand erect under the
inspiration of holy ideal He shakes from
his neck the yoke of oppression. The old
order crumbles. A new order takes the
shape of the new ideal. Our historians write
reformation" across the page, but to those
who have eyes to see and ears to near II rs
something larger and diviner-it is com
ing of the Son of Man.
When the mind of the people awakes
from its lethargy long enough to ieel the
CALLING bonds that have enslaved it to a
corrupt and partisan captivity; when the po'
litical conscience of the people opens its
heavy eyes and shakes itself loose from the
clutch of those who have long been making
the state the spoil of the base and the mer-
cenary; when the blood of the people tingles
with the sense of its own moral vitality and
its own political power then will the ma
ton come into its heritage and the true
democracy take its place in the earth.
THE PEOPLES RIGHT
When there is released into the thought
of the nation the forces of moral conscious
ness and the organizing impulses that spring
from earnest convictions OF political respon-
sibiity, then out of the foul and muddy
conditions of today will the new chemistry
of social righteousness precipitate a new
state, whose laws shall be written in justice
and administered in honesty. 1t is the mis-
sion of the leaders of the new order of things
that is rapidly pressing itself into the life OF
the age to teach the people the truth OF po-
litical redemption. 1t is time that this ma
ton awoke to the conviction that men were
created free; that society is another name
for humanity; that there is a PEOPLE,
and that GOVERNMENT is THE PEO-
PIES RIGHT.
The signs of the time are pregnant with
significance. The insurging woes of cen
tures are swelling the great heart of hui
manity. There is a converging of divine i'm
pulses in the race, mighty, and not to be
suppressed. Divine voices are beginning to
speak that cannot be muffled. The present
social order, with its iniquities and injus.
tices, must give place to a new era with a
profounder recognition of eternal justice
and of human brotherhood. Political econ
omists lave exploited their schemes for the
salvation of property in this world, and
priests have proclaimed their schemes for
the salvation of men in another and an un.

attempts to prostitute my manhood. L
have never made this statement public be-
fore. | make it now in order that some OF
my friends may understand my position
and the reasons which impei me to take It,
Men, am | wrong? Shall anything stand
higher in any mans estimation than his
own honor!
Compared with the crime of 1896, when a
direct blow was made at the very founda-
ton of our republican institutions, the
Crime of 1872 is as nothing. What does
it signify, the raising of that immense cor
ruption fund? What does this openly
avowed participation of the railroads and of
great corporate bodies and trusts in ma
tional and state politics indicate! These
things indicate not only a conspiracy on the
part Of the captains OF industry and the
owners of great monopolles and the shrewd
operators in finance to manipulate the af-
fairs of state and our political institutions
for their own advantage, but that the lead
ers of a great party, the commercial and
moneyed magnates of this mighty country
have lost faith in the fundamental princi-
ples of the republic, have ceased from their
allegiance to the institutions OF our gov
ernInental system and have determined to
substitute for the free functions Of democ-
racy the iron rule Of a financial and COM
mercial despotism.
QUESTION OF THE FUTURE
Thus, my countrymen, is the issue fairly
Joined. 1t is not between silver and gold
that is question of grave import, but it is
incidental to the main question. 1t is not be-
tween party republican and Demo
crat or Silver Republican or Populist. 1t is
an issue larger than any party and o1
mighter import than any political dogma.
1t is the solemn question Of the future of our
democratic institutions 1t is the question
whether popular sovereignty shall give place
to commercial slavery; whether the people
shall be ruled by the schemes of political
/ bureaucracy and close political corporations
in the interests OF great trusts and monopo-
! lies, OF whether they shall be governed by
! the free exercise of their own political con
science, 1t is a fight for our political free
dom which contronts us-a fight for the
right to decide questions OF governmental
policy, in which all the people are interested,
on their merits and not on the side of the
party which can control the greatest cor
rupton fund.
OF. a public political conscience. The
miracle Of all history is the dumb
conditions that crush them. Is not
this the story of the past: The multi
tudes that dig and deNe and wiring from the
soil the things that-feed and clothe and
warm the race, carry on their backs the
privileged few who heap unto themselves
the product of the many until the burden
bends the toiler to the knee. And they " no
hold the reins OF government and dictate the
social, industrial and political policy forget
the interests OF manhood in the interests OF
dividends. Civilization IS measured with a
devils economy IN terms CT property and
not of personal soul.

PRAISE GOD. FOR WE ARE FREE"
As soon as Mr.. Howard had delivered the
last word Of his splendid peroration the a'l-
dience gave most remarkable manifesto
tion of its appreciation of his great effort.
OTHER SPEAKERS
Following a selection by the quartet,
Judge +. Fl. Lamme made a short but elo-
quent speech, dwelling pointedly upon the
interference of railroads and other trusts in
the affairs of the people. Judge Lamme also
spoke of the state ticket. Il shall cast no
reflections upon Mr.. Gage" said the speak
er. 81 wish to talk only upon the principles
which he represents. 1t is not question OF
what Mr.. Gage would do if let alone. but II
is question of what he will do if elected
governor-considerlng the environment
which he will have" (Applause.)
In reference to the congressional contest
Judge Lamme said: "You who are in favor
of free silver know how Mr.. Barlow will vote
upon that question if he is returned. You
also know just as well that the election OF
Mr.. Waters would simply mean another vote
a good word for the county ticket.
Ex-Governor Lionel M. Sheldon, having
been introduced as another man who was
not afraid to tell his convictions" spoke
with spirit upon his conception of political
honesty and duty. "What makes Repub.
ican!" said Governor Sheldon. ut is not
association with any men or set of men, but
it is adherence to Republican principles. !
claim that I am Republican, and that the
men who are supporting the Gage ticket are
not" (Great applause.l Governor Sheldon
illustrated his point with story of woman
who got pair of silk stockings and wore
them so faithfully that they became well
worn. She kept on darning them with cot
ton until there was not stitch of silk left
But she still called them silk stockings.
r. i. Douglas brought the welcome news
that San Bernardino county, where he has
recently been campaigning, will roll ue a
handsome majority for Mcguire.

the important announcement that the ANAL

Jesuitical sophistry that a good end justi
fed corrupt means. 1t is like playing the
harlot to obtain money to put on the col
lection plate. Do not tell me that the mer
who manipulated that great fund for buy
, ing votes, the men who intimidated and
coerced by threats of various calamities the
poor voter who was forced to make mer-
chandise of his manhood in order to hold his
position and save his little ones from starv
alton; do not tell me that these men who
subverted the fundamental principles of .
republican form of government, the right
of independent suffrage and the free choice
of those who shall rule over us, believe in
republican institutions. They do not. They
believe that they have found something
better than democracy. They have bar
tered the legacy of our forefathers for fin
ancial and commercial despotism.
If some man would declare that this talk
of coercion is false, he must go to some one
else besides me to ipd patient and credu
lous listener to his lying preaching. Was
not approached in my own study with sub
tie threatenings and insinuations? Was
not myself told that should vote for that
princely soul, whom T am proud to call my
friend, William Jennings Bryan, whom any
man may call his friend, for he is the friend
of man rather than of parties, was l not
told that, should / vote for him, my church
would lose the patronage OF certain inftuen-
tial men who were intending to become a
part of my congregation!
Aye. was l not insulted and Inundated
by being requested by certain individuals,
who shall be forever nameless, to take my
ballot on election day, my ballot, the sacred
credentials of my manhood and of my citi-
zenship, the emblem Of that holy saera-
ment of political fellowship in civic liberty,
the sign and seal of that divine birthright
which marked me as freeman among free
men, that should take that badge of my
own personal independence and show it,
already marked for the ballot box, to GER
tain Republicans who were designated and
assure them that would cast it for William
Mckinley? Think of it, men! What did
/ say? I said this: you go back to the
men who sent you here and tell them that
this is my reply: Gentlemen, damn you.' 3"
Great cheering.( And if ever such Ian
guage is permissible that was the time.
1t was not the minister, but the man, who
spoke, and the man is always larger than
his calling.

4 Naval War

The modern navy will have a great op- portunity in case hostilities occur between this country and Spain. The fleet at Key West and Hampton Roads, successors of the Merrimack and Monitor, will show to wondering world what the engines of de- struction can do. The warfare is to be waged by engineers, rather than by old time seamen. The destructive devices and protective fittings of a generation are pitted against each other, and no one knows which will prove the better. They will be well tested in the event of war with Spain.
 It is believed that Havana will not in that case be the only objective point of the squadrons at Key West and. Hampton Roads. Porto Rico and probably the Ca naries will become familiar names. Porto Rico must be taken in order to deprive Spain of a base on this side of the sea, and the Canaries are needed as base for threatening operations against Spain itself.
 Beyond all doubts efforts will be made to destroy, or at least to cripple, the Spanish navy before large bodies of troops are land ed in Cuba, probably before an attempt is made to capture Havana; for Havana can not we'll be taken without the use of a large army cooperating with a fleet. There is at any rate plenty of sea room and sea oppor- tunity in the coming war There is chance too for the rising of a great naval hero, one perhaps big enough to secure the lau- rels that have heretofore been awarded to soldiers No naval hero has obtained a lease of the white house, but perhaps a war with Spain will interrupt the partiality that has heretofore been shown for the army. Whether it does this or not, it certainly will, almost to certainty, add largely to the list of national heroes, settle many questions connected with the use of armor- ed ships and torpedo craft, and advance this country as a fighting force much high | CT in the estimation of the world.

be procured through schools for higher ed- ueation. President Candler of the Southern Educational association said: YSome have made the mistake of supposfng that we can improve the grade of our common school teachers by the endowment of normal schools and the like without increasing the appropriations to our common schools. The more capable we make our college grad uates. the more surely they will go into other lines of labor, as long as the pay of teachers in the common schools is less than the seiaries of dry goods clerks and base baD players
 Without further quotations, of which pr. Taylor's pamphlet furnishes an abundance, The Age-Heraid gives the conclusion reached, namely. every cent of money raised by taxation for educational purposes ought to be expended in increasing the effi- ciency of the common school system, leav- ing to private enterprise and private mu- niflcence all forms of higher education.

The Result.

Yesterdays election was a victory all along the line. The Age-Herald was par ticularly gratified at the result of the pri- maries in the contest for chief justice of the supreme court of Alabama. All news re- ceived up to date indicates an overwhelm- ing victory for Judge Thomas N. Mcclellan. Judge Mcclellan is one of the ablest law yers Alabama has ever produced. No man in the state could more thoroughly grace the supreme bench.
 Yesterdays results show a victory all along the line for democrats who have thoroughly and conscientiously indorsed the Chicago platform. Alabama is over whelmingly a free coinage state. It has so spoken before. It so spoke yesterday The Age-Herald congratulates the victors.
