Many Dredgers Taking Oysters.

The fleet of dredging vessels employed in
taking oysters from the natural beds in the
Potomac river are out in full force and the
oyster beds are being scraped from end to
end. 1t is estimated that fully 500 vessels
are employed in the work, and on each
boat there is a crew of five or more men,
They are so thick about Colton's wharf and
in the mouth of Nomini creek and other
sheltered points on the river that the
steamboat pilots have trouble in steering
their craft among the dredgers to avoid
collisions 1t is stated that in about ten
days large portion of the fleet will go to
the oyster beds in the upper part of Chesa-
peake bay.

Judge Kimball was surprised today when
Edith Evans, colored, told of an alleged
beating she had been given by her husband,
Erly Evans. She declared that her husband
took her to Jackson City. tied her to a tree
and dashed her with whip. Later, at their
home, she charged he was cruel to her and
used his fist on her. The court heard the
husbands side of the story and fined the
husband $50 and directed that he serve six

How the Learned Sometimes Stumble

Rev. DIR. Frank w. Gunsaulus, in
baccalauratte address to the gradual
ing class of Armour Institute, New
York, on the 18th inst, falls into an
error which is very common, but one
which should not be made by man
of his eminence and on a point he
makes the basis OF dispute. He said i;
There was never a more interesting
falsehood than " All men are created free
and equal" The Declaration of lndepen-
dence was the work of an hour of intense
excitement, and on every national ami
versary this phrase is msquoted because
when it is taken from its context it is
false.
Freedom is something to be won. Men
are not born free. Every power into
whose control a man comes is a con-
quered freedom. There are no equals in
this universe OF Gods. God is no So
cialist.
Now had the reverend critic glanced
at the immortal Declaration of our
illustrious sires he would not have
made himself the but OF ridicule, for
there is no such clause as he quotes.
The claim that is held selfevident is
that "all men are created equal
before the law, as the context through
out shows. The word "free" is not
used, and it is that which is made the
exordium of his address. The specific
claims of equality laid down in the
Declaration, is intended as a protest
against sbridgment OF many lawful
rights, such as depriving the colo
nists of the benefit OF trial by jury
or substituting military for civil gov
eminent and abolishing laws and
altering fundamentally the powers OF
government the denial of rights &C.
corded to British subjects at home.
Assuredly Freedom" under such
circumstances, "was something to be
won," nor is any claim OF equality
made in any other sense than that all
men are entitled to certain political
privileges conformabls to the law under
which they live-equality before the
law-and such a claim is far from the
implied charge of socialism, in the
claim made for equality.

An Ominous Quietude.

The question is asked, why was il
that the Chicago Convention was so
devoid of enthusiasm? 1t seems 10 us
that the question is easily answered.
! is simply because Mr.. Roosevelt is
candidate Of the brain more than
the heart. He is no such man as
Blaine, or even Hanna, with the mag
netic force that sways human nature
by psychological effect. He is cold,
audacious, calculating. and at times
mendacious personality. His pc
tiveness in opinion, his violation Of
social forms, his abuse of Gen. Miles
and his insult to Senator Tilman, bis
violation OF law aud sacrediy- held
Evolutionary forms, indicate all this.
Enthusiasm is an impulse Of the soul
which accelerates the heart-beats and
makes the individual exhibit an ex-
cess of JOY, that is as different from the
worked-up manifestation, as the echo
is of the lannon's peal, or a refraction-
airy glcam from the suns bright ray.
The Chicago work was of the machine
kind. Every detail was arranged and
rehearsed at the White House and
performed in the Auditorium. The
press was authorized to supply all
deficiencies and use such embellsh.
ments as experience and Imagination
suggested. They have done their
work we'll, but it no more equals q
reflex of true enthusiasm than the
counterfeit note resembles the genu.
inc. 1t merely discloses a revolution
of wheels and pinions, the clank of
chains, and the click of springs. re-
sponsive to the cranks which impart
motion TO the train Of cogs and belts.
That the machine worked smoothly
was owing to its careful adjustment
and liberal supply of oil.
1t did not, however, grind out that
symphony OF harmony and love and
devotion that have characterized some
former conventions, and the result
will be discord, inharmony. dissention
and defeat. Mark the prediction.

explode. Fire was then set to the
roots and in the course of time the
