still at work over the breast of the ocean.
Though the sun might have been fairly up

clouds hung low and in burrows, fold on fold,

along the sea off the starboard quarter. The
line of its advance was as clear as that of

loose the main sheet and raise my voice
when the squall struck us. Terrible as was
its appearance, it had not the weight of the
blast that had opened the ball the night be-

while sea after sea planted themselves
against the bilge and rolled on deck until I

Behind him appeared the head and part
of the body of the now sobered surgeon, at

reckless step of leaving the forecastle. The
man in advance seemed dazed, for he hest

schooner rose to billow, but with an ct

step forward. At that instant saw a
huge sea lifting ahead, it's ridge tottering to

Gordon stood on the parapet, in great
danger of his life, with nothing save his
stick in his hand, encouraging the
soldiers to drive out the Russians.

You'll be killed." But he took no notice.

Mr.. Bryan has made trenchant
criticism of President Mckinley
address at Minneapolis. The pres
ident then said;
I'll feel assured that congress will
provide for them (the Fihpinos) a
government which will bring them
blessings, which will promote then
material interests, as well AS adj
vance their people in the paths OF
civilization and Intelligence. F."
Mr.. Bryan points out that if the
word parliament was substituted Tor
congress an American president
would express the exact sentiments
of King George in his dealings with
the colonies on this continent in
I1776, the words of King George be-
ing:
II feel assured that pariam emf
will provide for them (he American
colonies) . government which will
bring them blessings, etc. ~
Continuing in his criticism, Mr.
Bryan says:
Every king, every empe ror,
every despot, confidently believes
that ne and his government will pro
vide for his subjects government
that will "bring them blessings,
promote their material interests and
advance them in the paths OF civil
lzation and intelligence.
Most of the kings, emperors and
despols have asserted that they
felt under divine obligation to pro-
vide for the blessings, etc, OF their
subjects. The declaration OF indie
pendence, however, asserts that the
people need not depend upon the
benevolence of a foreign king, EN-
peror or despot, and it might have
added congress or the president for
the blessings of good government
Governments derive their Just power
from the consent of the governed
and from no other source. The
presidents speech marks an epo"h
in history. 1t is the first ever madt
by an American president that re-
pudiates the people as the source
of government.
