dency poor and died in poverty. In the
light of more recent events 1 am impell-
ed to declare, Thank God this great man
retired from office poor. There was
nothing to sully his character, nothing
to dim the luster of his STAR
The speaker then turned his attention
to Grover Cleveland. After branding
him as the friend of trusts and corpora
lions he closed with the following COM
parison of the two men:
CHANGING now at the administrations
of Mr.. Cleveland, we see the palSied
hand of greed shaping the policy and
marring the destiny of a great nation;
we see golden gods, bonded affairs, syn
dictate priests and interest bearing gOS-
pels; we see the dollar made the master
and man made the slave; we see toll
disheartened and humanity weary; we
see hypocrisy enthroned and false pre-
lenses sanctified; we see patriotism sold
and find honor on the market; we see
the people betrayed and Democracy
crippled, and finally we see it all end
amid the contempt of the honest and
the curses of the poor. But when we
turn to Jefferson we breath different
atmosphere, we stand beneath a differ
ent sky and gaze on a different sun.
Here are the affairs of Hberty-equality
and juStice-frOm which radiate those
forces that encourage the toller, that
cheer the patriot, that ennoble a people
and that build a state.
Here we see a man who courted not
the rich, who served humanity, who
faced OblOquy, who stood for principle,
shirked no duty, and finally we see him
loaded with benedictiOn, his memory
encircled with glory and his name en-
shrined in Immortality. OH, my coun-
trymen, comparison is impossible, but
contrast is instructive. Since his day
generations of public men equally learn
ed, equally able and equally industrious,
have lived and have gone, whose names
are forgotten and whose ashes are lost.
They did nothing for humanity; they
traded in influence, they juggled in pol
itics and they lost a career.
NOW my friends, for nearly two
thousand years the true disciples of
Christ have gone to His altar to get
new Inspirations stronger faith-a
higher purpose and a loftier ideal, and
they have come away with frmer re-
solve to maintain His standard and to
carry His gospel to the ends of the
earth. So, after seeing the desolation
wrought in our country by the pre-
cepts of Hamilton and the acts of
Cleveland we gather again at the affairs
of jefferson to get a new inspiration,
stronger faith, a lOftier purpose, and let
US go away with a firmer resolve to
maintain His standard and to carry the
principles of Democracy, not only to
the ends of the earth, but to the end of
time.''

Compares Him With Jefferson.

Chicago, April 14.-Ex-GOvenor John
P. Altgeld was the principal speaker at
the Jeffersonian celebration at Central
Music hall last night. Representative
Democrats from all parts of the Union
occupied seats on the stage. Mr.. Alt

proper to say something about both of
these men-the one the founder and the
other the destroyer of the Democratic
party-comparison is impossible, but
contrast may be instructive, especially
to the young men of the land"
After reciting the history of Jeffer-
sons political life, Mr. Altgeld closed
that part of his speech as follows:

1T seems probable that all the vessels

the ice. The steamer Mary D. Hume is
wintering at Herschel island and it is
probable that the crew of the Wanderer
will make for her. The crews of the
other vessels are all safe at Point Barrow,

the shore near the ships to look out for
them. The supply of provisions has been

drifted into the east of Point Barrow in
September, and seven men were taken
from her, two others refusing to leave.
There are in all about 304 men on the
ships. including those from the NaVarch

say that transportation will be needed for

FIGHTING FOR PASSES
Rev Mr.. Walker Appeals to the In

Chicago, April 14.-Rev. William Boiler
Walker of Joliet, the Episcopal minister
who has been denied a half fare permit for
crfticfsing the railroads as ''soulless COR
porations," will make fresh start in the
fight to determine the exact conditions I'M
der which the Western Passenger associ-

He has made complaint to the interstate
commerce commission against the three
railroads running through Joliet for their
discrimination in refusing to give him
permit, other clergymen being granted
them. The hearing will be in Chi
cago and the roads are expected to make
an answer within the next twenty days.
