ANNUAL ADDRESS.

Go
No pcon of great victory,
No Wanted glory ours
Whose hope is, in humility,
To guard the coming loursl
For right not always governs might,
And power is not sublime,
Unless He guides tue wheels Alright,
Who pilots all the stars of night
Along the streams of time.
We may not an ungencrous triumph share!
Be honor given to every fallen foe

Her quiet steps may go.
The battle was not waged with Spain,
But with her crutl,les;
These conquered, let us raise again
The snowy flag of Peace, whose stain
Shall be wiped out by Freedoms gain,
Aud Mcrcy's victories!
For still. TO ''lovc our enemies"
Our high command. and still to pray
That universal LoYc may sway
The nations. and their destinies.
The sword forever laid aside,
Then one tribunal shall decide
The contests of mankind
Where every nation, strong or weak,
Whatever language she may speak
Shall equal justice find.
Eternal victories of Peace
Shall then be sung
Weldon shall cvermorc increase,
And love of honor, love of truth,
Shall bring US back immortal youth,
From virtue sprung!
Yet shall the praise arise
For deeds of high emprise-

Chicago and Richmond. Last veal
John Jacob, wealthy young man
now living in Chicago, was attending
Central University, Richmond, Ky
He had big diamond pin. The pin
was lOst-when. where or how, Mr..
Jacob does not say.
Policemen in different cities were
put on the hunt for the sparkler, and
one of the first to strike trail was
Capt. &. Il. Helm, of Dauville. He
has been working on the case for five
months. Not great while ago he got
wind of diamond which was in tile
possession of person, and the person
he or she-when spoken to of the gem
manifested some embarrassment, strong
enough to be observed by anyone on
the lookout for such. To boldly attempt
to procure the jewel, however, with the
slim evidence at hand was a rather
delicate matter, and it was only after
several weeks OF the most patient and
p linstaking endeavor that facts enough
were procured to warrant a big bluff
toyard getting the pin.
"The person, when bluntly con-
fronted, confessed the pin did not be-
long to him or her, and it was soon
identified as the Jacob property. The
interesting feature, however, is that no
prosecution was entered and that the
name Of the unlawful possessor of the
diamond is kept secret. Young Mr..
Jacob is nephew of John Jacob, Of
Louisville"

Don't fail to see the parade which
will be a grand sight. The circus has
more horses, ANIMALS and more good

There should be "a repeal OF general
corporation laws. There should be alb
solute governmental control of railroads
and telegraphs. There should be pub
lie ownership of public franchises,
Municipalities should own and operate
their gas and water plants. and own
and control their system Of street rail
way. The means of supplying neces-
stiles common 10 the public in facilities
for transportation and communication
should not BE the sources of private
profit. Those who create should own
and those who build should possess.
Organized Wealth is the enemy of
human freedom, and Organized Wealth
in this land has become public enemy.

There are number of patriotic and
true Americans in this land determined
upon such platform. They number
seven millions or more. They control
the organization of the Democratic
party, and do not believe they will be
so foolish as to permit the enemies Of
Democracy to participate in the pro-

Convention of 1900, or to assist in the

OF Democrats are determined as it is

to place your organization aIso under
tie control of the Organized Wealth OF
the land.
Organized Wealth has never set tie
crown of freedom upon single human
brow, but il has made and owned more
slaves in this land than have ever been
carried captive from the shores Of
Africa; and it has driven to death more
men than have fallen in ali The battles
ever fought on American soil; and has
driven 10 houses of shame more women
than have ever fallen because of the
perfidy OF man.
But in the contest now impending,
Organized Wealth is face to face with

before frost in Fall, and piled in large
shocks. He leaves it in this condition,
until he feeds it out. He says, that il

IMPERIALISM ITS OFFSPRING.
Imperialism is the offspring of Organ
lied Wealth. The desire and purpose
torob and enslave apeopIe who have
done no wrong to this government. MOI
to any of its citizens, spring only from
those whose efforts are wholly given
to the advancement of the interests Of
capital.
There is no patriotism and no unset.
fishness in wealth. che present
national administration, under the in
fiuence Of the class dominating il,
would,if able, be just as willing to muir
der its own citizens at home as to
murder those of the Philippines, if the
value of money could thereby be in
creased, or few more dollars added t..
the store.
ENGLAND OUR NATURAL ENEMY.
An alliance with England is a desire
natural TO the friends of Organized
Wealth. England's magnificent record
OF robbery, rapine and murder excites
their envy and fires their inordinate
greed. Ii matters not to them that
England is, and has always been, the
natural enemy of this government
The feeling Of the friends of Organized
Wealth for England is as strong as the
admiration and reverence ielt for that
country by the snobs and flunkeys of
the east, patterned after the Depews,
the Whitneys and the Astors. Eng
land would like nothing better than to
have the influence and support of the
United States in maintaining a system
of colonial dependencies. necessary to
England's life, out wholly unnecessary
to this country.
THE CHICAGO PLATFORM DEFINED.
L would define the Chicago platform
of 1886 to be a formulated protest
against theAxistence and abuses of or
ganized wealth. ] think that is its
whole meaning. 1 believe that the
Democratic national convention OF 1900
will adopt platform even more specif-
ically and emphatically aprotest against
the existence and abuses of organized
wealth. 1t will reaffirm the declara-
tons of the Chicago platform of 1896.
1t will declare the purpose of the party
to prevent the organization and opera
ton of trusts. 1t Will declare against
Imperialism. ---. t..-
1t will in that unite its protest with
the protests on the still faces of hun
dreds of dead PHILIPPINES turned to
Heaven, from thence to receive the
tears of plying angels as remon-
STRANGE againgt their murder. Further,
it ought to in terms declare against
any alliance with England. 1t ought to
declare that monarchy and republic
cannot be linked together; that human
freedom and human slavery cannot
march together. 1t should be renem-
bered that no England army has ever
fought for freedom, and no English
soldier has ever died for its cause. The
existence Of the English governments
dependent upon human slavery; the
existence of this government is depend
ent upon the attainment of human
freedom. Colonial dependencies are the
life blood of England, while they
would mean the death OF free govern
ment in the United States.
