STATE RIGHTS PLEA.
DR.. ". EUerett Speaks to Puritan
Observation-Disclosures on Trusts.

The New England Society Of Brooklyn celebrated
the 2s6th anniversary OF the landing OF the Pill
grms last night by a dinner at the Pouch Gal
leries. 1t was the twenty-seventh annual dinner
Of the society. Elijah r. Kennedy. president Of
the society, presided and introduced the speakers
Addresses were delivered by DIR. William Everett
James NJ Beck, ex-Assistant United States At
torney General; Professor William Lyon Phelps
of Yale University. and William H McEIroy
Dr. Everett made a plea for states rights. He
euIogiZed the 0rafters of the Constitution, who
made every state the equal OF every other-RhOde
Island as much of a unity and as individual as
New York. He said that in this age of cOmbina-
t1on II Was customary for the small 70 be SWai-
lowed UP IN the large, and the tendency OF the
times was 70 emphasize the Importance OF the
great over the small, the state over the city, the
nation over the state. until he. whom many OF US
consider the greatest statesman and patriot OF the
day considers that he owns the souls OF all the
people and has the right to advise them.
SpeakInS on the Compact Of the MaydOwer.'
Mr. Beck said that the spirit of it was not the
fleeing from majority rule. Their intense indi-
vidualism refused to submit 10 the tyranny of the
majority much as to the tyranny of a king
This intense individUalism is almost lost among us
Socialism, the spirit which looks TO the govern
ment for the righttng of all social evils is
more rampant to-day than ever before. In the
last twenty years the country has been much dis
turbed about trusts and corporations The cure for
the trust evil lies in our hands. We could
have boyCotted their produce while they were ia
their infancy and killed them

4 FAMOUS TAR4DIDDLE.
CanabrOnme Didn't Sag "The old
Guard Dies" Etc.
From The Pail Mall Gazette.

From The Pail Mall Gazette.
NJ. Henri Houssaye has just set himself to
seriously destroy the tradition that Cambronne
refused the English summons TO the Old Guard
10 surrender with the words, la garde meurC
et ne Sc Tend Das"-or any other. Marshal
SoUlt, in 1s43 while defending himself in the
Chamber Of Deputies against a charge of ter
giversation, said, indeed, that he was by the
side OF Cambronne at Waterloo when he uttered
the immortal words. But NJ Houssaye has no
difficulty IN showing that Soult could not have
been by the side Of Cambronne because he was
at that moment galloping with the Emperor
toward square OF the Guard other than which
Caubronne commanded; and il is significant
that he did not make the assertion in oues-
tion until the year after Cambronnes death
The first reporter OF the phrase was 10 All an
pearance Combes-Brossard an officer on the
general staff who wrote II down on June 90 or

There in the midst he stands-the little Child
Whom all men love but not all understand
While in divided camps. unreCOncilcd,
They strive about him, each an angry band
In a few years he comes to mans estate
This they know we'll and that he then viii rI1le
So each desires before il be too late
To fashion him according 10 their school
Both would be Teachers; but suppose instead
Just for a little while they cease to teach
And bv the little Child themselves be led
To humber thoughts and kinder ways OF
speech.
Suppose hot-headed partisans sit down
And note the quiet strength OF being meek.
Suppose the mighty scorners cease TO frov-n
And watch the grace God binds about the
weak.
Suppose the men of passion and OF pride
AS furious in their age as In their youth
Cease from themselves and take the child for
guide,
If haply he may lead them into truth
