Perhaps the most striking part Of the
address, certainly the most interesting
at this time his emphasis of the necessity
for knowledge for proper government of
the people. That knowledge, he SAID
must be universally diffused; there must
De plenty of light. 1t was in this connec-
ton that he referred to the danger 10
republic from putting the b3iloc III
the hands of an ignorant man. The bal
lot in such hands, he said, was more
dangerous than the bayonet.
Under the head of morals he pointed
out the necessity for moral earnestness--
the believing in something with all your
might. He illustrated this by pointing
to the French people who are. the most
cultivated people in the world. but who
lack moral earneStnesS, and lacking 1t
can never become a great people.
Among other striking things, Prof.
Carlyle had this to say in course of his
address:
For the building of Il great State
three things are essential: Manual labor
skilfully applied, mental vigor well and
wisely developed, and moral earnestness
crowning and controlling the character OF
people.
'"The first of these, in time at least, is
manual labor which must be skillful and
aaye comfortable conditions. The differ
ence between the savage and civilized
man is largely difference of skill in the
use of tools. NO nation can prosper
whose workers are hopeless or wretched.
THE civilization of ancient Greece failed
because, among other reasons, under
meath its beautiful social and literary
forms was a restless mass of workers
i'm hopeless bondage and misery. Labor
and learning must not be divorced.
When this is done labor grows helpless
in the dust and learning scars useless in
the clouds.
Greater than the man behind the
guns is 1.-THE man with the hoe" Com

man piles in the coal, are more essential
to the progress of the passenger on the
train than comfortable conditions in the
palatial office of the railroad president.
So it is ever: the laboring class sets the
real pace of a nations progress and fur
nishes no mean test of its greatness. In
a great State the workers must be skill
full and comfortable.
The second factor is mental vigor.
Mind must dominate matter. Freedom
from the despotism of ignorance must
precede freedom from the despotism of
the tyrant. The ideal government is q
democracy, but knowledge must break
up the masses into individual men and
women. Where individual intelligence
does not rule men are governed by brute
force and government fails of its high
est functions.
