in her soul was transmitted to
her son.
"As the years advanced and
the beautiful world opened more
and more before him, more and
more was the JOY of life realized
by him; then came to him the
excellence of learning, and when
he entered the field of competi-
ton with his fellow men and
found that his throat was a flute
and his voice harp to beguile
men with the music of his elo-
quence; then he scorned all petty
limitations; he would not believe
that anything made his fellow
men bad save poverty and ignor-
ance and oppression, he would
not believe that the Infinite cher
ished malice toward his creatur-
es, and then began his career.
Then, too, love came to him to
soften and exalt him, and the
wife of his youth became the
sweetheart of his whole life, and
it is pleasure to think that the
last words that he spoke were to
her, and that the smile which
accompanied his words, while
yet lingering upon his face, be-
came fixed, as around him with
out shock or jar was drawn, like
a garment, the hush of eternity.
In no home in America that we
know of was there affection so
all embracing and confidence so
absolutely perfect as in his. AS
man he was the highest type
of the American citizen. Life,
fortune, sacred honor were all
held at his country's command;
when it was needed to call up
the deeper cadences of patriot
ism no other voice had the depth
and charm of his; when he cham
pioned a cause it was always
with drum and trumpet and ban
ners full high advanced" that
he came; among the very high
est he was a chief, and those
who knew him can well believe
that when he was taken prisoner
of war and that night began to
make a speech to his captors, he
had not spoken five minutes I'M
til the Confederate General, link
ing his arm in that Of Ingersoll,
said, Come, Colonel, come with
me, half an hour of that and you
would have all my army prison
ers to that tongue of yours. s"
He was a great lawyer, great
writer, he knew better than any
one else the use of words that
gave full expression to divine
thoughts, but after all he was
greatest in his own home. There
among two hundred guests he
had the right word for every
one. and he dropped jewels from
his lips every moment which are
still cherished as sacred souven-
irs by those with whom hn talk
ed. He was a great, command
ing and most winsome man. He
loved smiles, native. mirthful-
ness was always overlooking
from his mind; his loves were as
strong as life, and he had no
hrtred save for wrong; smiles
went before him and music fol-
lowed in the wake of his foot
steps, and neither the smiles nor
the music failed him until the
end came, without so much as a
spasm of pain. A great soul has
gone; the world is a mighty loser
because of it, and in his own
home there must be such a rend-
ing OF heart strings as was hard
ly ever seen before, for the love
that was his they were wide as
the earth, high as the heavens
and all embracing as life itself"

subject of anti-expansion and inn

chiefly as an instructor on the
question of expansion from every
standpoint. The question of
present and future taxation Ito
maintain ourselves as o military
nation in fitting manner with
other nations of the class whose
expensive acquaintance we would
cultivate), will undoubtedly be
main plank in the next demo
cratic platform. The book con-
tajns 1853 pages Of reading mat
ter, together with half-tone por-
traits and autographs of the var
ious United States Senators, Con
gressmen, ministers, university
presidents and other prominent
who have assisted in the work.
The half-tone views of the city
and country districts of the is
lands over 1000 miles away from
us tend to mrke the work doubly
instructive. The first 100 pages
Mr.. Bryan devotes to the subject
of Imperialism. He says: when
those advocating Imperialism
find it impossible to reconcile a
colonial policy with principles
of our government or the canons
of morality, when they are I'M
able to defend it upon the ground
of religious dutyvor pecuniary
profit, they helplessly fall back
upon the assertion that it is des-
tiny and we must submit"
When asked why he left the
army, he said "That he con-
sidered the nation in greater
peril from the foreign idea, i'm
perialism, because greed has
perverted the government and
used its instrumentalities for
private gains; for now the very
foundation principles of our gov
eminent are assaulted. Our
form of government, our tradi-
tons, our present interests and
our future welfare all forbid our
entering upon q career of con-
quest" The unselfishness which
marks Mr.. Bryan with. sincerity
in his convictions cannot but
help to impress one by the man
ner in which he has made his
selections without reference to
party or creed.
Following Mr.. Bryan's articl-
es is one by Andrew Carnegie,
who handles his subject from
the point of a successful business
man, and as manufacturer and
a large employer of labor, can
see much for American labor to
fear from annexation. He says
England in India stands TODAY
upon "a volcano. She has TO keep
10000 British troops there to
hold the people in subsection.
She does not trust one gun in
the hands of the native troops.
There is scarcely an English
statesman who does not wish
privately, would that we were
safely out of India" AS India
is the curse of Britain, so the
Philippines win be the curse of
the United States. Europe is an
camp, with nine millions trained
soldiers, two millions of these in
the regular army. while the
United States is hive of peace
full industry, with only $4,000
regular soldiers. The war ships
OF Europe number over 1900

The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1899-03-17

For the first time in our life. we found
ourself monarch of all we surveyed, Tues
day evening, and for once felt perfectly
Independent. We didn't have to answer
the door bell. for we were told to "keep
that foot up on that cushion" We
didn't have to answer the call of the
hello girl; we didn't have to 60 down to
fix that fire; "go out and get me q
drink" "bring in the wood" "move
your chair away from the piano." "go
down street and get &c cake of yeast for
buckwheat cakes in the morning" Ego
and let the milk boy in" "put out the
cat." or do anything in the wide world
we didn't want to. We never were sc
happy in our life. If we hadn't only
dropped that accident insurance a few
weeks ago, we would have been perfect
ly happy.
