cause instead of vague gener-

The Chicago and Kansas City

be the sole democratic issue,
had done their duty in 1894,
instead of emasculating the

Of Hon. Sea orn v right. Oh
lowing IS the peroration Of
his address: 4. s.:. 4 a
Z: The spirit animating the
opposition to this bill is the
spirit of commercialism. tt
knows no pity. It chills every
generous thought and deadens
every holy feeling. It meas
ures all things-manhood, wo-
manhood and childhood-by
the dollar. The hearts and
brains-aye, the puny weight
of children-are valuable only
as they can be coined into
money. You lay your little
children at the feet of eastern
capital and say all this we will
give in exchange for your dol
lars.
Il lift the standard of revolt
today and in the name of the
South denounce this unholv
traffic.
''Mr. Speaker, 1 stood in
the door of a humble cottage
Swallowed by the factory's
massive walls. The mistress
of the home was the wife of a
gallant confederate soldier.
They had seen better days.
Death had kindly come to him
and he slept. The remorse-
less hand of necessity had
driven the widow and her
children out from the old
homestead to the humble cot
tage.& AS 1 stood the gates of
the factory swung open, and
amid a hundred children hers
came. The kindly walls of
the nursery should have been
around them. There was no
spring in their steps, no light
in their eyes: their cheeks
were white, and I thought
standing in the presence of
the children of this confeder-
ate soldier, I would give every
spindle and loom in the South
to bring back the light of
their eyes and see the roses
bloom again upon their little
cheeks.
II would like to see every
boil of cotton whose white
bosom opens to the warm kiss
of Southern suns. spun and
woven in the South, but there
are pricesI would not pay tor
it.
1--WE are standing today.
Mr.. Speaker, at the gate of
the grandest manufacturing
empire the world has ever
seen. The men of the South
and East are coming to our
cotton fields. The laws oil
nature, stronger than ali the
laws of man, compel them to|
come. But mark this truth.
they are coming as our mas
ters. Our children are to be
their servants. I would put
no restraining hand upon their
coming. I would fling wide|
the gates and bid them enter:
but, so help me God, l would
never give them our children
until their little bodies had
grown beyond the nursery
walls and the light of knowl-
edge had dawned in their
souls.
Last night I sat with my
wife by the freside of our |
comfortable home. l watched |
my 8-year-old boy lay his |
head upon his mothers 1ap]

WE WERE at Forest Lake for .

and I was really enjoying myself,
though there were some unpleasant
conditions.
You see, Matte and I were reared In
the same village. Our people were re-
spectacle, though not rich, and we
went to Chicago to make our living
soon after graduating from the high
school. Matte was stenographer, I
q bookkeeper. We had positions in the
same establishment and we roomed to-

for we were by no means i'll looking.
Many people thought was the pref
tiest. Most Of our callers were young
men in no position to marry, SO there
could be nothing serious in their inten-
tions. One, however, was different
from the others. He was plumber,
past fifty, and not very we'll preserved.
His name was Hiram Mason.
I am sure his calls were at first In.

him, so he turned to Matte. He pro.

Electrified by Al ment Made
I'm Methods of transportation.

Among the passengers who have just
sailed for Hamburg is Count Otto Won
Moltke, q nephew of the great Ger
man field marshal, Count Won Moltke.
Count Won Moltke has been in this
country since October 4, having been
appointed q commissioner by the Prus-
sian parliament, Of which he is MEM
Der, to study American trausporta tion
methods.
81 am electrified with the progress
you Americans have made in the meth
DDS of transportation. 1t is impos-
sible for anyone in Europe to UNDER
stand this without seeing 1t. The best
expression have heard here is 'up-to-
date which tells the whole story. You
have shown the most progress in adapt
ing electricity as q means of trans
portation. The German Siemenses
are the fathers Of electrical improve
ments, and the Germans conceive
many methods, but they can't take
hold Of things the way Americans do.
Conservative methods keep the Ger.
mans from launching out extensively
In any scheme. Europeans are theo-
retical and Americans are practical.
The Europeans formulate and you put
into practice"

SHEEP HERDlNo.

A gray, slow-movng, dust-bepowdsred
wave
That on the edges breaks to scattering
spray,
Round which my faithful coilies wheel
and bark
To scurry-in the laggard feet that stray;
A babel Of complaining tongues that make
The still air weary with their ceaselsss
fret;
Brown hills akin to those Of Galilee,
On which the shepherds tend their
charges vet.
The long. hot days, the stark, wind-beaten
nights;
No human presence, human sight or
sound;
Grim, silent land of wasted hopes, where
they
Who came for gold oft-times have mad
ness found;
A bleating horror that foregathers speech,
Freezing the word that from the lip would
pass,
And sends the herdsman sroveling with
his sheep, -
Face down and beast-like on the trampled
grass.
The collies halt, the slow herd sways and
reels,
Huddled in fright above the low ravine.
Where wild with thirst q herd unshep-
Beat up and down-with something DARK
between;
A harrow circle that they will not cross.
A thing that stops the maddest in theiI
A guarding dog too weak to lift his head
Who licks a still hand shriveled In the
sun.
