Silent and Ocan1at;c.

Tho most dramatic Of silent men
was Wal!enstein, the antagonist Of
Gustavus Adolphus and the command
er Of the emperor's armies in the Thir-
ty Years war. He insisted that the
deepest silence should reign about him.
His officers took care that no loud con-
versation should disturb their general.
They knew that a chamberlain had
been hanged for waking him without
orders and that an officer who would
wear clanking spurs in the command
er's presence had been secretly put
to death. In the rooms of his palace
the servants glided as if they were
phantoms, and a dozen sentinels NOV
ed about his tent charged to secure
the silence the general demanded.
khains were stretched across the
streets in order to guard him against
the disturbance of sounds. Wallen-
STEMS taciturnity, which made him
shun speech, and his love of silence,
which caused him to be irritatcd at
the slightest noise. were due to his
constitutional temperament. He never
smiled, he never asked advice from
any one, and he could not endure to
be gazed at, even when giving an Or
der. The soldiers, when he crossed
the camp, pretended not to see him,
knowing that curious look would
bring them punishment.

EnaIish Sporting Parsons.

TO the London Times a correspond
ent writes: "Once when a duke Of
Grafton was thrown into ditch a
young curate who had been closely
competing with him for pride of place
shouted. Lie still. your grace and
cleared him and his hunter and the
fence at bound. So pleased was the
duke with the performance that he
declared he would give the young di-
vine his first vacant living and not
long afterward carried out the prom
Use. vowing that If the curate had
stopped to pull him out Of the dixie he
would never have patronized him.
Sporting parsons are still to be found
in almost every county today who can
hold their own in the first fight when
hounds run hard and some of the keen
est fox hunters in all times have been
supplied from the ranks of the clergy.
Even the warning against their
'hawkynge, huntynge and dansynge' in
the reign Of King Henry vi. appears
to have had very little effect"

Only One Sea Power.

In the audacity of puny triumphs
nations are called sea powers, but
there is only one sea power. and that
Is the sea itself. Ear famed our ma
yies melt away" Within hundred
yards of the best charted shore stout
ships are as bubbles. That sea that is
as familiar when calm to little boats
and ferries and tugs as are the thor
oughfares of city to its crowd OF
humanity takes on all the aspect Of
chaotic terror when winds and storms
prevail. The waters SO close as to re-
feet the friendly lights of the great
metropolis are as alien to the forces Of
men as are the depths of the farthest
ocean. Lord Byron's "Apostrophe' has
lost none of its tremendous reality in
oil the progress from the little wooden
sailers to our greatest merchantmen
and ironclads. Nor can its truth be
lessened in all the matur,st develop
ment we can dream of.-Kansas City

orioin Of Precious Ores.

Men sometimes dream of enormous
wealth stored deep in the earth, be-
low the reach of miners: but, accord
ing to an eminent geOlogist. there is
little or no ground to believe that val
liable metallic deposits lie very deep
In the earth's crust. Such deposits,
according to this authority, are made
by underground waters, and owing to
the pressure on the rocks at great
depths the waters are confined to a
shell near the surface. With few ex-
ceptions ore deposits become too lean
to repay working below 5000 feet.
Nine mines in ten, taking the world as
a whole, are poorer in the second
thousand feet than in the 90 thou
sand and poorer yet in the third thou
sand than in the second.-Chicago

ed by those invisible walls which
conscience rears about us-barriers
which are stronger than walls OF

that human institutions rest, and
without a stirring OF the conscience

national conscience already aroused
we appeal, with the pledge that a
democratic victory will mean the
ringing out OF Industrial despotIsm

which business will be built upon its

on, and not yet aroused to the in
EQUITY of these trusts, how can the
country hope for relief through his
election?
PaFty's Demand.
In my notification speech / called
attention to three demands made by
our party. It asks, first, that the
government shall be taken out Of
the hands Of special interests, and
restored to the people as a whole; IT
asks, second, for honesty In elections
and publicity In regard to campaign
funds, that the people may freely
choose Representatives in sympathy
with them and pledged to guard their
interests; 1t asks, third. for such a
modification OF our governmental
methods as will make the senate an
elective body. and place the control
of the house of representatives In
the hands OF majority OF its mem
bers. A few days ago in discussing
the tariff question, dweIt upon the
fourth demand made by our party,
namely, that taxation be just, that
the revenue laws be made for the
purpose Of raising revenue and not
for the. enrichment of a few at the
expense OF the many, and that the
tariff law be supplemented by an
income tax which will more nearly
equallze the governments burdens.
Today / present another demand
made In our party platform-the de-
mand that the grip OF the trusts be
broken, that competition be restored
and that the door of opportunity be
opened to the business men and the
toilers OF the land.
Industrial independence 10 neces-
sary to political independence, The
free exercise OF the rights of citizen
ship Is impossible when a few men
control the Industries in which mil
lions are employed. God forbid that
we should compel the wage-earners
OF the nation to address their petit
tions to the trust magnates, and ask
for their daily bread. Already we
have seen how prone the monopolist
10 to make employment depend upon
the willingness OF the employe to
prostitute his ballot to the service
OF his corporate master.
This question should be settled
now; we can not AFFORD to bequeath
II as legacy of woe to a succeeding
generation. The conscience OF the
people Is already awakened. and the
conscience ia the most potent force
OF which man has knowledge. Where
law makes one righteous. conscience
controls a hundred; where one IL
