the senate this session that have af-
forded him an opportunity of making
characteristic speeches than there
have been for several years. He is
opposed to the tendency of corpora
lions to monopolize trade and destroy
competition, and in the railroad rate
legislation and the propositions to in
yestigate combinations of railroads
Mr.. Tillman has had his greatest op-
portunities to attack corporations in
his inimitable manner of speech.
Tillman is nothing If not original
and picturesque. He can say things
on the floor of the senate that no
other man would dare utter. He ex-
cuses it on the ground that he is "a
plain, blunt man." When he first
came to the senate the sticklers for
senatorial proprlcty, like the late
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts and
Senator Plat Of Connecticut, would
take Tillman to task for his almost
brutal form of speech when referring
to his colleagues or government Off
Gals. The senator would promise to
temper would get the best of him and
he would spit out words that were pa
tently supplementary. The mentors
of the senate got tired finally of try
ing to reform the one-eyed iconoclast
from South Carolina and he is now
allowed his own sweet way, unless he
gets absolutely insulting.
Mr.. Tillman is now at home in his
state patching up a few breaches in
his political fences. He is a candidate
for reelection next year, and already
considerable opposition has developed
The old regime in South Carolina, the
silk stocking aris.ocracy, do not relish
being represented in the United States
senate by a farmer like Mr.. Tillman
The latter secured his election by an
appeal to the common people, and he

WusON.CLEMENT CASE.
Judge Martin Gave n Hearing in Mont
pelier Monday.

Montpelier, Dec. 4.--In federal court
this morning United States Judge James
L. Martin gave a hearing on the petition
to stay the execution in the Wison-C Glenn
ent SANDER case, or to cmpound :he
money in the hands of the court until the
case can he heard by the circuit court of
appeals on exceptions. The amount in
volved Is the $1,000 with costs which was
awarded Mr.. Wilson. 1t appears that Mr..
Clements attorneys neglected to file their
bond for a writ of supercedas within 60
days from the time judgment was rem
dered, and under the United States stat
utes they are not entitled to what they
ask If they neglect SO to do. So this pet-
ton Is brought, claiming that the court
has discre -.onary power, that it may,
and in this instance ought, to exercise its
authority in Lns matter.
The argument for Mr. Clements side
of the case was made by w. 3. c. Stick
ney of Bethel. Max l.. Powell of Bur
lngton, for MFR Wilson, argued that
the court has no discretionary power in
this matter. and If it had it should not
be exercised in this case. The court took
the case under Amusement.

saying that he did not catch the mail
pouch on the No. l2:O7 a. m. train. but
that it was knocked off the crane at the

He Immediately started out. went to the

They did so. and found II not far from

of the letters in one end of It, Meanwhile
Mr.. Webster and his men were thorough

WHAT IS A WORD"

y,
the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father full of grace and truth"
And what is word?" asked the
bishop. "A word is the utterance of n
thought. the expression of a PERSONS
mind. A word need not be expressed by
articulate sound with mouth and lips and
tongue
And so when the old Testament says
that God spakc to Aaron, to Abraham
to Moses or TO any of the prophets. it
does not necessarily mean that a sound
came from heaven. God speaks to us in
our conscience. such impression on a
mans mind may he so vivid that he al
most thinks tho voice Of God has sounded
In his ear. 1t may quite well have been as
time went on and the story was handed
down from generation TO generation that
such an utterancc of God came TO be
spoken of as an actual spoken word. ~
do not mean by this by any means. that
God never speaks in mems ears. Unusual
signs quito naturally accompany unusual
events. AS the ear and the mind and
heart are opened SO God makes his mind
more and more clear. and HIS word comes
with increasing iistinctness.
"God will always speak wherever
there Is an inner ear ready 10 receive the
command of his mind. Some think oGd
spake in the olden times, but that now
| in the 18th century. We do not expect 10
hear God speak And why not. pray
What God says at one time will never be
contradcted by whatever he says al
another time. He that hath an ear. lei
him hear what the spirit saith unto the
churches
