A Purely Commercial Gathering.

A Purely Commercial Gathering.
Mr.. Henry Loomis Nelson's review
of the situation at Philadelphia in the
Sunday POST Dispatch is picturesque,
but penetrating.
Mr.. Nelson's first observation is
that the convention is nothing but q
ratification meeting. The boss is
everything. The delegates will merely
register his will.
"There is q strange acquiescence in
everything that comes from head
quarters" There is no kicking. Per-
feet and complete obedience scharac-
terizes the temper of all delegates.
In other words. it is business enc
terprise in good hands. The manag-
ing director knows what he is about
and the rest of them know that be
knows.
"The air of Philadelphia" says
Mr.. Nelson, (which is for the present
saturated with politics, is redolent OF
commercialism.'' Nobody is thinking
of political principle. The platform
will be so framed as to leave the pro,
tected and other predatory interests q
free hand. The only question is, iii
there any money in it?0
The trusts and monopolies are in
full control. That is evident to any
one who will take the trouble to lock.
Plutocracy makes the issue this year
with Q boldness which comes only
from great strength. To break this
power is the duty of free citizens.

The RIDE TO SCHOOL

when the snow is coming down.
And the fences, bare and brown.
Gaping white.
And there's not breeze to stir
Flakes that held to branch and burr
Through the night:
Then there comes q happy feeling IN the
memory OF the day
When rode to school with father Ia the ola
pun8 sleigh
There was snow the samesas now.
Topping every branch and bouGh
Through the wood:
And the spruces aeemed to be
Each q giant Christmas tree
Where It stood.
Bent and hung with toy and DOH. TIL
wished that could stay.
And would turn about.and watch them from
the old puns sleigh
Then the shapes along the walls
Queer old women holding shawis
In their laps;
And the tents without q door,
And the balsam stumps that wore
Pointed caps;
And the tracks across the snow, where q
squirrel frisked away
When he heard the squeak and rattle OF the
old pung sleigh.
There were thimbles you could see
On the big thorn apple tree
Near the bars:
And the fakes that fell about.
As held my mittens out.
Looked like stars:
And beside the road hemlock reached ita
arms across the way,
And would sift shower US IN the old
pung sleigh.
And the lash on fathers whip,
How 1t used to trail and dip

Singing in the maple trees.

From the pleasures of the present would
gladly turn away
Just to ride to school with father In the old
pung sleigh.

LIBERTY--OR WHAT

n HE day was drawing to its close
Already the sun had begun to tint
the western sky with soft crimson
glow. The windows in the weather
beaten barracks caught and held the
rosy light es though loath to let the
brightness go. and even the little
thatched cottage under the hill was
bsthed in the glory.
Within the little cottage under the
hill preparations for the evening meal
were being made. Back and forth
across the room tall, straight figure
moved, full of that supple grace of the
southern woman, says the Chicago
Herald.
''Zoritsa, have you heard what deci.
sion has been made?''
mo, mother" answered the girl
''Capt. Newcombe told me to-day that
they were all on the tiptoe of expects-
ton, but determined to fight 1t out and
win, no matter what happens"
1.-THE captain Is very gallant. IF all
the men were as brave as he there
would be no doubt about an American
victory"
II am afraid your criticism is I'M
Just. mother. You are letting ten come
under the ban OF your dfspleasure be-
cause you chance to know the merits
of one. Capt. Newcombe thinks all his
men brave"
well, we need not complain OF Lieut.
Hopes courage. for he certainly dis
played perseverance, at least. before he
won you, after many rebuffs."

brave, If you call persistence In. love

These ENJOYS have honored us by
coming to seek our sympathy. giving
us as Americans the opportunity to
assist them to gain that liberty which
is go dear to us.
.'Once each year, on Decoration
Day. we carry flowers to place on the
graves of our soldier dead. Do these
flowers do the dead any good? No.
1t is to honor the living that this low
ing custom is maintaine /. that they
may express their gratitude for what
the heroic dead have done for them.
It IL to our honor that the Beers have
come to ~ to receive cur sympathy.
ssIt is hard to understand the feel
ings of the man who has sympathy
for the Boer cause, but who Is con-
CO .ling it for political reasons. When
q young man heard very able ser.
mon which has always chung to me.
on the text, "As he thinketh, 30 be
is. Why should any American citi-
zen who feels for the Beers fail to ex-
press himself? I do not see how one
can do other than to choose the cause
of the two republics in preference to
that of q monarchy.
ssThere comes q time when the mill
lions of American people have that
privilege of rising and casting their
ballots against that administration of
government which fails to carry out
their wishes, and when those ballots
are next counted,'I believe that there
will be an expression of the American
people for these people fighting for
their Independence.
1--WE know by history that as mon
archly increases so government by
consent of the people decreases, and
that, as government by cansent of the
people increases, 30 monarchy de-
creases. We know that if monarchy
overcome these two republics. gov
eminent by the consent of the people
ceases.
ssIt is said that the blood of the
martyr is the seed of the church. IF
it is found that these republics shall
be overcome. they will not have
fought in vain. Sum ines the men
who die die more for liberty than
they who live, and ere the struggle is
over | believe that the Beers will
arise from q hundred fields and lib
erty will be victorious.
"There are men among US who say
that because England sympathized
With US during the Span,sh-American
war, we ought to say nothing against
such friendly nation. I deny that
such sympathy binds US to act for
England. We did not need the SYM
pathy of England during the Span.
ish-American war. We need the
sympathy of no nation on earth. We
have received nothing that obligates
US to remain passive and helpless
while liberty is being crushed. We
should not be unmindful Of our duties
to the people, OF this world struggling
for their. liberty-we, the greatest
nation on earth, founded On liberty.
eve must keep inspired with that
love and reverence for the blessed
name Of liberty till every American
citizen goes down on his knees and
asks the God of battles to bring VIC
tory to the Beers"
