lous advancement dwindled into in
significance when compared with the
giant strides We we're then and are
now making The old stage line
cross the almost boundless plains
gave way to the iron horse and, from

lance to anything in its broad and un.
limited pathway.

Inevitable. unconquerable march of
progress and. viewing even with the
most conservative organs the wonder
full and unequalled progress every

the gods of fortune and the strong
abiding hand of omnipotence had pro.
tccted and directed the course of the
great western republic. Could those
gallant heroes of the revolution, like
Lazarus of old, emerge from their an
cient and musty sepulchers and view
the astounding panorama of national
greatness that today presents itself,

itage will prove infinite applause

the arrangement of governmental af-
fairs as has ever been the case since
the creation of man, but notwithstand.
ing these mistakes in the application
of experimental ideas that have
proved detrimental, we live today, my
fellow citizens, under the most sub.
lime and progressive government be-
