Man OF Affairs.)
safety depends upon somebody having
the will to do right when it is In his
| power and may seem to his interest to
| do wrong.
| when the people were considering
the adoption of the constitution of the
| United States, one of our wisest states
| men said that the real and only Sc
| curity for republic is when the rul-
| ers have the same interest as the peo-
pie. If they have not, constitutional
| restraints will break down somewhere,
except for the sense of duty of the
| rulers.
"All elections depend upon this
| principle. You may multiply election
officers and returning boards, you may
| provide for an appeal TO court of first
resort or last resort. But in the end
you must somewhere come to point
where the sense of public duty is
stronger than party spirit. or your
election is but sort of fighting, or II
not that, a sort of cheating.
"The same thing is true of the indi-
vidual voter. or of the legislator VINO is
to elect the senator or the governor
who is to appoint the judge, or the
executive officer or the judge who is
to interpret the constitution or the
statute and decide the cause, or the
Juror who is to find the fact. On these
men depend the safety and the perma-
hence of the republic. On these men
depend life, liberty and property.
And yet each of them has to make
that choice. Each has to decide wheth-
err he will be influenced by ambition
or by party spirit or the desire for
popular favor or the fear of popular
disfavor or the love of money, on the
one side, or by the sense of duty on
the other.
"The great single purpose of moral
education must be to induce the will to
adhere to its general. permanent and
deliberately conceived purpose, in
| spite of the motives which appeal to
it with special strength at the time of
| the choice of action. In other words,
| It is to give strength to resolution
| which will overcome the strength of
| temptation.
"To teach this to the youth of the
republic is the great duty of the uni
versity. The final purpose of all schol-
| arship. as of all life. is character"

Crhe First Volunteer to Enlist in the Union
Army.)
the call of President Lincoln, April IS,
1861, for $4,000 volunteers was taken
from the wires the name of Charles
4. Rand was enrolled as soldier.
Among all the war records at Wash
ington there is none of an earlier en-
listment than that of DR.. Rand, and
the honor has therefore been given
him by common consent.
Not only was DR.. Rand the first vol
unteer for the civil war, but he was
also the first soldier to win the con-
gressional medal of honor for distin-
guished gallantry in action. This
event occurred at Blackburn's Ford,
enlistment. His command was ordered
to retreat, and every man obeyed, save
young Rand, at the time but IS years
of age. The rest of his battalion, num-
bering 500 men, was swept in disorder
from the field, but Rand held his
ground, notwithstanding the fact that
the field was plowed by shot and shell
all about him. The enemy finally alb
solutely refused to fire at the hoy
standing bravely alone and shooting
at them as coolly as if he had thou
sand men at his back. Rand then crept
across a deep ravine and joined the
command of Gen. A. II. Barnum.
DR.. Rand's patriotism and gallantry
have been recognized by two governors
of the state of New York and by three
presidents. He was twice personally
honored by President Lincoln. New
York remembered him with a gold
medal appropriately inscribed, and the
United States government has present
ed him with a plot in the most beauti-
full part of Arlington cemetery, where,
at the proper time, the state of New
York will erect monument worthy
of the first man to offer his services as
a volunteer during the great strife.

cere and comedy Guardianship. But
the good men of this time, the sincere
men, were not in the truest sense re-
ligious. Bishop Burnet, for example,
Addison, Swift, were good men, but not
in the sense religious men.
The orthodox guardianship of
England when Wesley began his
preaching needed nothing so much as
that intimate personal sense of spirit
! ual verities which it timidly branded
| as enthusiasm. Its belief was an I'M
certain balance of probabilities. Its
motives were at bottom prudential. 1t
could not speak with authority; il
| could not touch the deeper springs of
| action. Such a religion might be dis
cussed, believed, even practiced; to
talk Of experiencing" it would be
meaningless. Moreover, a religion
with SO little of the contagious warmth
of certainty could make no converts,
could have no missionary impulse.
'What is your religion, my lord ?" some
one asked Lord Bolingbroke. "The re-
ligion of all sensible men," was the re-
| ply. Tes, but what is that?" "Ah,
that is what no sensible man ever
slls." The anecdote may be apocryph-
al; but it illustrates well enough the
limited and individual character of the
convictions most men then held upon
the profoundest subjects. In fact, 1t
is evident that the religion of this time
had little influence even upon the lives
of most who made an outward profess
sion of it. No man could hold any civil
office without taking the sacrament
according to the forms of the church
of England; but it is said that not
more than four or five members of the
house of commons regularly attended
church. The universal prevalence of
political corruption during the min
istry Of Walpole is proverbial. During
the reign of Anne, the urbane satire of
Steele and Addison had done some
thing to bring into fashion a decent
social morality and at least an out
ward respect for religion; but despite
these influences, what called itself
fashionable society grew steadily more
lax in morals and negligent in man
ners. All the loud, ostentatious vices
that accompany q rapid increase in
wealth had probably never been so
prevalent in English society as during
the reign Of the second George.

at Yale seminary, he became a Con-

turning, he took the pastorate of a
church at Minneapolis, and remained
there until called to Moody institute
in Chicago in 1889.

The famous graft, State Canal Bill
No. 1, passed the lower house OF the
Legislature Monday and is now IN
the senate. This old steal had been
knocked in the head 30 often by the
people of the valley that all suppos
cd it was effectuslly killed, but large
doses of state patronage served by a
Canon City governor has revived it,
however, and there is once more
great danger that it will be passed.
A gallant fight was made against it
by the representatives of Las Ami
mas county and number from Den
yer and the western slope, but OF the
three representatives from the valley
whose people were directly threaten
ed by the vicious measure, only Co.
bin Of Rocky Ford made any stand
against the bill. The fact that
everyone here believed the bill was
q dead issue accounts for the fact
that our people have remained pass
i've during the present session. The
sentiment against the outrage is so
intense that it is safe to say our rep
resentative did not voice the senti
ment of two voters in the county in
his failure to fight the bill. The bill
has yet to pass the senate and with
only a few days of the session left it
is hoped it will be killed. Letters
received from Senator Frank Wood
today, in response to many kilograms
sent by citizens Of the valley yester
dsy, promise that the bill will be
fought to a finish in the senate.
