ADDRESS OF DAVID OvERMYER
David OYermXer said. in mart:


History repeats itself" These
words are used tonight in no restricted
sense. And while they will readily be
understood as implying a renewal of the
issue of 1892, they are used also in a
much wider sense. When I say that
history repeats itself. mean that there
are periodically recurrent crises in
which not one single question alone, nor
even several questions disturb the tran
quillity of the state, but in which the
whole of right is opposed to the whole
of wrong, in which a people deceived,
betrayed and assailed by their govern
ing agencies are driven to resume their
ancient rights, to proclaim anew the
principles by which those rights are
protected and to extort concessions and
guarantees for the future.
Stripped of local and transient phases
the questions that have divided man
kind have always been the same, the
history of the world is the record of
chains and burdens placed upon him
and his fellOwman. The issue has al
ways been the cry of the many against
the expressions of the few, the contest
has been waged by the scattered and
segregated masses of mankind against
the organized, rapacious, piratica1 and
predatory elements of society; the poor
against the rich, the weak against the
favored, liberty against tyranny, the
people against power.
AS might naturally be expected, the
Democratic party has been the great
champion, and indeed the only defender
of the constitution. 1t is the only po-
litical party which has constantly
taught and inculcated the great per-
manent essential lessons of free govern
ment.
Democracy knows that the first lesson
of liberty is jealousy of power, and that
the first maxim of liberty is that safety
lies in distrust of power
The Republican party, upon the other
hand, is enamored of power. It is daz-
zled by the pomp and glitter of military
display. 1t is intoxicated by the spec
tacle of commercial combination and
wholly reconciled to and secretly re-
joieed by visions of armed conquest and
military government. It regards the

Visitors who have been to the institu-

West Point correspondent New York
Herald: Residents Of Rugertown, a
suburb OF the post. are interested In
a weird concert which was given one
night this week In the parlor Of the
home of Andrew Kuhn. a private Of
the army service detachment The
performance did not begin until Just
as the old clock IN the tower Of the
academic building had struck the hour
Of midnight, the artist was invisible,
and ghostly sonatas. symphonies and
the like were rendered In wonderful
style. II seems that Kuhn, who Is an
old resident Of the post, had retired
with his family for the night. when
they were aroused by very loud and
thrilling plano playing. The sound
seemed TO be coming from the parlor.
Upon their entering the room they
found II quite deserted. The piano lid
was closed. but some invisible agency
was sounding the keys. They were
badly frightened. II might have been
eat. but the piano was closed, or II
might have been rats nlbbling the
strings, but the strings have been
found to be unlnjured.

Manganese in Chinese Vegetables.

An extraordinary thing which has
been noticed is that nearly all of the
vegetables OF Chinese origin have q
considerable proportion of manganese.
Professor Blasdale has found that the
great color characteristic of mangan-
ese was always present in greater or
less degree upon igniting the ash OF
the Chinese vegetables. The water
chestnut, or INA hal" shows the
largest quantity. This is we'll
known food in Chinese quarters. II
has sweet chestnut flavor and is
juicy and watery in consistency. II
has thick, tough, brown outer skin.
Within it is white, and when grated
yields quantities of starch. 1t is eaten
either raw or boiled. 1t does not re-
semble the chestnut in any sense,
being a little bulb, and growing at the
bottom of collection of long marsh
grass stems. A considerable proper
tion of Chinese vegetables are pro.
duced from swamps.

Red Cuebracho. Found In South America,

roads, II seems, Is yet to be Hscov-
cred and appreciated. Posts made Of
this wood which have been buried 80
years In land furrowed and quilted by
the torrential rains of summer have
been found to be In as good condition
as II they had been felled recently. In
the Argentine Republic ballasts for
railroad beds Is unknown, and the ties
are laid In the ground, which frequent
ly is sandy and exposed to heavy rains
and dried by intense heat. So iron
cross ties were used until 1t was found
that the red cuebracho was undeniably
the best wood that could be used for
the purpose. 1t not only Is 30 hard
a wood that II has to be bored before
spokes and bolts can be driven into It.
\ but 1t is unusually heavy. 1t does not
