And freedom and larger knowledge dawned PUBLIC SCHOOLS CELEBRATION. Fref imnae for Celuaabea lay, mm Arranged by tbe Ezece-tlve Ceaamittee- At nine o'clock on Friday, October SI, the schools will assemble. At half-past nine a detail of veterans will reach the school building in Maine as in California, in Dakota as in Louisi produoe or raise them at our rate of wages and our interest upon invested capital. That is simple and plain enough. That understand, is the republican theory of protection and that I is the theory involved ia the McKinler bill, which is the most logical and effective machine for protection that has ever been introduced into American politics Applause I want to say to you that William McKinley is not popular in Europe.

Laughter ana cheering If William McKinley were running for office he would not obtain a Tote in Germany, or France, or Italy, or England. He is regarded as the arch enemy of the industries of those countries, with hoof and horns and a forked tail. As I said, I do not know what the purpose of the democratic party is in ease they are successful upon the question of the tariff, but there is not a tyrant or despot there is not a pampered aristocrat there is not a manufacturer who has grown rich upon the American market who does not pray to-day for, the election of Grover Cleveland and the success of the democratic ticket Not one. Whatever we may understand about this question, whatever the demooratio party may pretend will be or will not be the policy on this question, the manufacturers and the merchants and the governing classes of all the other civilized countries believe that democratic success means destruction of taxation and therefore they are in favor of the election of Grover Cleveland and defeat of Benjamin Harrison It is not always safe to do as your enemies want you to do. I know something of the condition of European labor and the manner of living in those countries where free trade prevails.

I know the hopelessness of the penuryand th? poverty with which they are afflicted. I have seen women and children working like field hands at the agrioulture of Germany. have seen them mowing and spreading the hay and raking in the fields and digging and plowing. seen them with long-handled rakes leveling the road behind a great granite roll that was crushing stone. I have seen women at work upon railroad dumps.

1 have seen women harnessed with dogs drawing garbage in the south of Europe. If there be any American citizen who believes there is anything to be gained by an exchange of American condition for the condition of labor in free trade countries, I wish he could have the opportunity of sn object lesson.

The birthright not of priest er king, but of every ehud of man I Uplift the sew world's banner to greet the ex ultant sun! Let its rosy gleams still follow its beams as swift to west they run, Till the wide air rings with shout and hymn ts welcome it shilling high.

And our eagle front lone Katahdin to Shasta's snow can fly la the light of its stars as fold on fold is flung to the autumn sky! Uplift it youths and maidens, with songs and loving cheers; Through triumphs' raptures it haa waved, through agonies and tears. Columbia looks from sea to sea and thrills with joy to know Her myriad sons, as one, would leap to shield it from a foe! And you who soon will be the state, and shape each great decree, Oh, vow to live and die for It if glorious death must be! The brave of all the centuries gone this starry nag have wrought; In dungeons dim, of gory fields, its light and peace were bought; And you who front the future whose days our dreams fulfill-On Liberty's immortal height, oh, plant it firmer still: For it floats for broadest learning; for the soul's supreme release; For law disdaining license; tor righteousness and peaoe; For valor born of justice, and its amplest scope and plan Makes a queen of every woman, a king of every man! While forever, like Columbus, o'er Truth's un-fathomed main It pilots to the hidden isles, a grander realm te gain. Ahl what a mighty trust is ours, the noble ever sung, To keep this banner spotless its kindred stars among! Our fleets may throng the oceans our forts the headlands crown Our mines their treasures lavish for mint aud mart and town-Rich fields and flocks and busy looms bring plenty, far and wide And statelier temples deck the land than Rome's or Athens' pride And science dare the mysteries of earth and wave and sky Till none with us in splendor and strength and skill can vie: Yet, should we reckon Liberty and Manhood less than these. And slight the right of the humblest between our circling seas- Should we be false to our sacred past, our fathers' God forgetting, This banner would lose its luster, our sun be nigh his setting: But the dawn will sooner forget the east the tides their ebb and now, Than you forget our radiant flag and its match- less gifts forego! Nay you will keep it high advanced with ever brightening sway The banner whose light betokens the Lord's diviner day- Leading the nations gloriously ia freedom's holy way! No cloud on the field of azure no stain on the rosy bars God bless you, youths and maidens, as you guard the Stripes and Stars! WHAT THE SCHOOLS ARE TO DO. Francis Bellamy, chairman of the executive committee, offers the follow ing among other suggestions: The first duty of each school is to attend to its own morning celebration.

Teachers, superintendents and school boafds should confer that action may be harmonious, and the best results attained. The proposed celebration should be explained to each school at the earliest moment It should be so presented as to awaken enthusiasm. In teresting topios relating to Columbus and the discovery should be suggested for special investigation. Such topics might be: "The Map of the World Before the Discovery," "Important Inventions and Events of Europe Just Before the Discovery," "The Story of Columbus," "The bhlps of Columbus," What Columbus Expected to Find," "Geo graphical Growth of the United States," States ot boutn America," etc. The teacher should assign the address and the ode to those who can render them most Intelligently.

The flag salute and the songs should be persistently rehearsed. Important committees of pupils should be appointed: 1. A committee of invitation, whose duty is to see that the family of each pupil receives a special invitation to the morning exer cises of October 21. aud also, when they arrive, to show them seats; 2. A color guard, whoso duty is (1) to see that the school has a flag an a staff in proper condition; (Z) to meet the vet erans as they arrive, and escort them with dig nity to the principal in the schoolhouse; (3) to act as aids of the principal.

An efficient adult committee of arrangements should also be constituted. This committee mast see (1) that seats are prepared out of doors in hope of fair weather, and that a room is also engaged for the exercises, should the day be stormy; (2) that fitting decorations and printed programmes are provided; (3) that the local press is interested and invited; (4) that arrrangements are made with the veterans and other special guests for the parts they are to take. The school principal must make himself per sonally responsible for the work ot each com mittee. A Liber on the Cow. 'The cow is a born thief," said Thomas Grimshaw to a party of commercial pilgrims who, were discussing coology in the Lindell rotunda.

"She will leave a square meal, gotten up expressly for her by an imported chief, to wear her tongue as thin as a polit ical platform trying to coax a wisp of rotten straw through a crack in a neighbor's barn. She relishes nothing so much as what she steals. She has a long head, and could give many of our military heroes points on strategy, Any cow that has paid attention to her education can open a garden gate that fastens with a bank vault lock, get inside and do fifty dollars' worth of dam the people party for state officers, candidates standing upon a platform which oondemna the principles and policies advocated by the democratic party, and of a political organization hostile to the democratic party, and men who stand pledged both by platform and speech to destroy the democratic party, men advocating doctrines more erroneous, more injurious, more pernicious than have ever before been advanced or advo cated by any other political party or organiza tion in this country. They advocate, and ex press, and are bound by the strongest party ties to the most extreme doctrines of paternalism, to doctrines destructive of humaa rights and the material interests and welfare of th whole country and utterly and wholly subver sive of democratic doctrines, principles, tradi tions and teachings. This action of the convention 1b not binding upon either the judgment or the conscience of democrats, and carries with it no moral or political obligation which can bind the individual Political conventions are matters of conscience and cannot be blotted out by the unauthorized action of any body of men.

No party convention has the right to make ill party responsible for the errors and mistakes of a hostile political organization. When it at tempts this it transcends the power delegated to it it violates the sacred rights of its constituency, it merits the condemnation of its followers. No party has a right to say to its mem bers, you shall vote for men of opposite poli tical faith. When it attempts this it destroys its own identity and voluntarily surrenders itself to the party whose candidates It nominates. We denounce this principle as pernicious, wholly de structive of all political organizations, and call upon the loyal democracy of Kansas to assist in defeating this scheme to surrender our or ganization into the hands of its enemy.

MANUFACTURING STATISTICS. A Few Advanced Figures From the Cen. us Bureau. Washington, Oct 8. The census bulletin giving the manufacturing statistics of 100 leading cities will be ready about the 15th inst The figures in all cases have not been verified.

From advance information the preliminary figures showing the amounts of increas in several of the leading manufacturing; cities can be given at this time, all, however, being subject to revision. In most cases the verified schedules are expected to give greater amounts than quoted here. Kansas City, Ma, shows an increase of more than 1,200 manufacturing es tablishments over the number given in the census of 1880, of (10,000,000 of capital, (8,000,000 of wages paid and in value of products. St Joseph, Mo, shows an increase of more than fifty establishments, of more than (3,000,000, of more than (1,350,000 in wages paid and 88,000,000 in value of products. Kansas City, was paying in 1S90 on a capital of (11,000,000 more than (4,000,000 in wages, and showing a value of products of more than Evansville, shows an increase of capital in the period named of more than $2,000,000 on a basts of (2,000,000, an increase in the number of hands em ployed of more than 1,600, and in wages paid an increase of more than (400,000.

Minneapolis shows an increase of 8,300 establishments, (40,000,000 capital, (13,000,000 in wages paid and (60,000,000 in value of products. St Paul shows an increase of more than 1,000 establishments, an increase of 13,000 hands employed, of (7,000,000 increase wages and more than 000,000 increase in products. Chicago shows an increase of more than 6,000 establishments, of nearly (230,000,000 in capital, of (80,000,000 in wages paid, and nearly (400,000,000 in value of products. Of the eastern cities, Aew xo.rk shows increase of 13,000 establishments, (140.000,000 of capital, (125,000,000 in wages paid, and nearly (300,000,000 in value of products. Rochester, N.

shows an increase of more than 1,000 establishments, in wages, and more than in value of products. BRITISH INDUSTRIES. Recent Alarmist Statements Rather Ex aggerated. London, Oct 8. The sensational re ports current of the prevalence of a severe depression in the commercial and agricultural interests of Great Britain have caused the Associated press repre sentative here to make special inquir ies at the labor bureau and in other quarters.

The officials of the labor bureau stated that while the prevailing oppression is considerable, it is not unprecedented. Taking the returns of the whole of the trades unions report ing during September, 5 per cent of the number of workmen are shown to be out of employment. The report embraces 250,000 union workmen. The ship building trade is the worst affected. Next comes the cotton, iron and steel industries.

No signs of improvement in the ship building trade are likely to be seen in the near future. It seems probable that not less than from 20 to 25 per cent of the workmen will soon be idle. As is usual during recurrent periods of depression, the building trades are the last to suffer. Masons and carpenters will be fully employed during the winter and their prospects are good at an increased rate for overtime, with a reduction of their hours of labor from fifty-five to fifty-two hours. Statistics of Grain Production.

Washington, Oct 8. The superintendent of the census has issued the preliminary statistics of cereal production in the United States. The figures are as follows: Bufttf Barley 78,349,802 Buckwheat 8J8.877 12,170,668 Corn 72,068,074 2,134,559,818 Oats 809,108,797 Eve 2,178,622 .88,293,344 Wheat 83,574,811 468,206,778 Totals 140,179,185 8,520,967,511 In 1880 the figures were: Barley Buckwheat 818,389 11,891,827 Corn 62,888,509 1,754,791,878 Cats 16,141,593 407,858,999 Kye 1,812,283 19,831,593 85,430,333 459,483,181 118,631,779 2,897,580,8 Killed By Coal lias. Detroit, Mich. Oct James Kogett and his wife were found dead at theii home, No.

Both had been dead for aome hours whan found, and from tha position of th bodies had evidently tried to reach a window, but wt" overpowered r'iceeisi I '7 A prairie fire in Gray county destroyed about thirty-five stacks of wheat and other grain recently. The headquarters of the people's party state central committee have been removed to Topeka. John Baker, of Marion, S3 years of age! was recently killed by a cable car at Kansas City, Mo. Eleven confidence men, who had been arrested during the fair, escaped from the city jail at Wichita the other night.

The annual convention of the Kansas State Bankers' association has been called by its president, Calvin Hood, of Emporia, to meet in Topeka, October 19 and 20. Ollie Ogee, who was reported to ba the only one of the Dalton gang who escaped at Coif eyville, it turns out, waa not with the gang at alt He has been working in a packing house at Wichita for the past nine months. A movement is said to be on foot among the brokers of the country to raise a fund for the families of the men killed at Coffey ville by the Dalton gang. A Sedalia, Ma, banker suggests that every bank in the country subscribe (50 to such a fund. The democratic committee of the First congressional district met at Leaven worth and decided that Hon.

Ed Carroll should not be withdrawn from the race for congress. It is claimed that Mr. Close, populist nominee, will also remain in the field. Col. B.

P. jIVag-goner, in behalf of the Missouri Pacific railroad, sent a note of condolence to the people of Coffeyville at the loss of so many of her good citizens in the recent fight with the Dal-tons and commending the bravery of the people in their successful annihilation of the gang. J. H. Shiveley, republican nominee for the legislature, died at Wichita the other night from hydrophobia.

He was bitten by a dog with rabies several weeks ago, and trusted to. a madstone to dispel all danger. A few days before his death, however, he was attacked and died in great agony. The dedication of the bridge and German day was celebrated at Eudora in grand style. Large delegations from Lawrence, Leavenworth, Douglas and Johnson counties took part in the celebration.

Judge S. O. Thacher, of Lawrence, made a very able address appropriate to the occasion. Mayor Lath-holz and Theodore Poehler also addressed the large crowd in attendance. The national republican committee has written offering to let Gov.

McKinley make two speeches in Kansas on condition1 that ex-Senator Ingalls he permitted to make one Bpeech in New York and one in Pennsylvania. Mr. Ingalls has placed all his time at the disposal of the state central committee, who have the proposal under consideration. It has not yet been decided whether the offer will be accepted. Five tramps engaged in a terrible fight in the bottoms just east of Lawrence the other day and in the fray one of them was shot through tha leg.

His outcries attracted the attention of passers and he was taken into the city for medical attendance, but while his attendant was gone for a few moments the wounded man made his escape and has not since been heard from. He is thought to be one of a notorious gang of thieves that had been plying their business in that vicinity for the past few weeks. Chancellor Snow, of the state uni versity, in his weather report for September says: "The past month was one of the warmest Septembers on our twenty-four years' record. The second half of the month was warmer than the first half and there was an entire ab sence of frost The sky was remarka bly free from clouds. The rainfall was about two-thirds the average amount and the wind velocity was nearly nor mal.

Three-fourths of the rain fell the first week, making the rest of the month remarkably dry." In the presence of his two daughters George Klentz committed suicide at his home in Wichita the other afternoon by hanging himself with a rope to a swing lamp hook. Klentz was a cigarmaker, aged 50 years, and was sobering up after a prolonged spree. The testi mony at the inquest was contradictory and revealed a queer state 01 affairs. Klentz's domestic relations were un pleasant and he remained most of the time away from home. Dr.

hliultz. who was called, said that the family acted strangely and he did not believe Klentz died from strangulation. The jury thought otherwise, and rendered a verdict of suicide. The supreme court recently handed down a decision of much interest: Pro ceedings in quo warranto were brought by the assistant attorney-general of Sedgwick county, who was appointed to aid in the execution of the prohibi tory law, against the metropolitan po lice commissioners and the marshal of Wichita. It was set out in the petition that they had established by a system of fines a virtual license to dealers in liquor, and that they in other ways con nived at the violation of the law; and it was asked that they be ousted from office.

The court held as to the police commissioners, first, that they, being appointed by the governor, derive their powers directly from the state and are not removable under the statutes by proceedings of that character, and sec ond, that an assistant attorney-general for a county cannot bring an action in the name of the state on his relation. Emporia was ga-yly decorated on the occasion of the anniversary celebration of the A. 0. U. W.

and a large crowd was present from abroad. The parade of home and visiting lodges was followed by a "picnie at the grove. Among the prominent officers present who addressed the order were A. P. Biddle and Joseph E.

Biggs. Ira F. Collins, hardware merchant of Sabetha, has made an assignment. He was one of the largest laslaess men of toe town. ti-ei a ct 1 tj -7 ti t- Meeting of Stalwart Democrats at Topeka.

Fusion With th Populists Strongly Da-Bounced Kesolutlons Adopted and aa Address Issued Stat Cea-tral Committee. Topeka, Oct 8. The conference of stalwart democrats called to meet in this city assembled yesterday, but was not called to order nntil nearly noon. W. M.

Mitchell called the meeting to order and introduced Ai A. Harris, of Fort Scott, as chairman His speech outlined the policy which the convention was expected to pursue. Resolutions drawn up to be presented by J. B. Crouch and adopted by the convention were as follows: The stalwart democrats of Kansas In convention assembled at Topeka, on this the 7th day of October, 1893, declare as follows: 1.

We most heartily approve the ennuncia-tlon of democratic faith and doctrine by the national democratic convention at Chicago in June last r. Grover Cleveland and Adlal E. Stevenson, as statesmen and patriots, are eminently worthy the highest offices in the gift of the American people, and we solemnly promise to do all in our power, consistent with honor, to secure their election. a The action of the state convention of July 6, in attempting to bind democrats to the support ef the so-called people's party state ticket was a crime without a parallel in the political history of our country. It does violence to every conception of honorable principles, is contrary to democratic precept and practice, is not binding upon democrats, nor will we ba bound thereby.

It is the duty of every democrat in Kansas to exercise his individual judgment in voting for state officers. 4. We were democrats before that convention, we are democrats now, faithful and true, but we are freemen and refuse to yield our judgments and consciences to despotic dictation. a. It is the duty of all Kansas in the crisis now pending in our state, to so cast their ballots as best to promote the honor and glory of the state, and the prosperity and happiness of our people.

6. In the First, Second, Fifth and Sixth districts there are regularly nominated demooratio candidates for congress. We urge upon our tAHaJn ritat-lAto trlira tlium an anHtnl unuua IU LUN UUUWU, VJ legislature of this state of any law tending to impair the obligation of contracts, or which will in any wise injuriously affect the credit of cur people. 10. We are opposed to legislation which will unnecessarily disturb the harmonious relations now existing between employer and employe, or which will deprive faithful and honest labor of its just reward.

II. We are in favor of a convention to revise our state constitution, and request our friends to vote tneretor. 12. We are opposed to the sub-treasury and land loan schemes, and to the governmental ownership of railroads with the consequent disfranchisement of more than one million of our fellow citizens, as demanded by the Omaha platform of the so-called people's party, 13. We are opposed to all sumptuary legislation, to state socialism and communism in all their various forms, and declare in the language of our illustrious leader that "paternalism has no place in the creed of democracy." 14.

Conscious of the rectitude of our intentions, we confidently submitour action and this declaration of our principles to the scrutiny of an intelligent and tair minded people. In the afternoon the resolutions were adopted and an address issued to the democracy of Kansas. The state cen-. tral committee appointed was as follows: First Second, E. S.

J. G. Lowe, chairman of the commit tee on address, submitted the following report: We, the democrats of Kansas, view with deep regret the action of the democratic state con vention, held at Topeka, July 6, in nominating the people's party state ticket aud we hereby solemnly, in convention assembled, express our disapproval thereof and our inability to accept such action as democratic or binding upon democrats. Political parties are formed and exist for the purpose of enabling the citizens of a common country, in an effective manner, through the press, from the platform and at 'the ballot box to give an expression of their political convictions, untrammeled by dictation from any one without and to establish in this manner what politics and principles of government are best adapted to promote the public welfare and to Insure to the greatest number the greatest amount of good and disseminate those policies and principles in that manner best calculated to promote their success. The Individual members composing a political party commit to the judgment of their chosen representatives In convention assembled tbe choice of the persons through whom the poli cies, principles and teachings of the party can be best, most appropriately and most enectuat' ly carried out But to challenge the support of the individual, the nominee of the convention must be such as fairly and honestly represents the principles of his party, and who will in good faith accept them openly and publicly and promulgate them from me piatiorm ana tnroun the press.

When such candidates are ropr.v sented, it is the political duty of and the lndl vidual member ol the party is politically bound to support him. But when any political party in convention assembled departs from this uniformly exist lng and established usage, custom and law, a law demanded by every consideration of good faith, a oustom universally recognized and a usage as old as party organisation, and without say authorized change of party policy and principle, leieota as canaiaatcs asking tne sui rages of the people of that organization men who represent political principles at variance with, hostile to and different from those adooted by the party, and men who stand pledged to promote the Interests and welfare of another party, iuoh action Implies bad faith and ts a frustration of. the primary ends, ob jects and purposes of party onranl'atmn.

Claim That It is Itelug Heed to Further Democratic Ends A Tribute te Har-, rlsoa l'he Tariff aad Euro. pet.u i-abur. Topeka, Oct 10. An hour and a half before the time set for the appearance of Hon. John J.

Ingalls at the Grand opera house Saturday night 6,000 persons occupied the seats and the aisles, and fully as many more crowded outside around the house. Being introduced, Mr. Ingalls stepped forward and delivered an address which has been more anxiously looked for than any other utterances ever pronounced in Kansas. After some personal explanations, Mr. Ingalls said: I have during the past three months talked with scores, yea, with hundreds of business men in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore and the other great commercial cities along the Atlantic seaboard: have talked with them upon the sea; I talked with them as I met them in Europe; men who had heretofore acted with the democratic party, they said to me that while the republican policy of protection was not all that they desired; while there were features of the McKinley bill that llicv did not like, that they had adjusted their business to it, and that they had discovered that the results were not what they had been predicted.

They found that wages had arisen: they found that the prices of the necessaries of life bad diminished: they found that the Importation of non-dutiable goods had decreased; they said what this eountry needed in its business energies and resources is permanence, and ability, and repose. We know that if President Harrison is chosen for another four years, we shall have permanence and tranquility and repose, but if Grover Cleveland is elected we know we shall have four years of agitation, of turmoil, of disturbance and uncertainty, and we are going to vote for Benjamin Harrison Applause. Therefore, I say to you fellow citizens that this campaign has been transferred from the east to the west This is the bittleground of the remaining portion of this campaign and unless the democratic party can secure lecruitsin thi great agricultural states of the west and the northwest, unless they can make some inroad into the republican column, unless they cau secure enough republicans upon one pretext or another, through the people's partv, to vote for James B. Weaver, then the handwriting on the wall is recorded and the doom of Grover Cleveland and the democratic party is scaled. Great applause.

So say, fellow citizens, we have been accustomed always at the outset of every campaign, to speak of it as being one of great gravity, of extreme seriousness as involving momentous Issues that might result in a catastrophe. 1 say to you th.it it is not the language of exaggeration, it is not the language of passion, it Is not tbe language of prejudice, when I say to you that here in the great agricultural states of the west aud the northwest the battle of this camoftign is to be waged: and unless the democratic party can cajole, unless they can in some wav or other break the directness and vigor and energy of the republican column here, then tbe election of Mr. Harrison is as assured as the rising of the sun on the Sth of November. Great cheering. But I hope I shall not in any way whatever with any plan of campaign by alien-atiug a democratic vote.

If there b3 in this vast assembly, if there be anywhere within the borders of this state, if there be anywhere within the reach of the domain which these newspapers are to reach to-morrow, any man who believes that it is not a matter of national misfortune and calamity that the whole policy this government should be reversed, that the tide of all civilization should be rolled backward, then I aik him to reflect before yielding to any seduction whatever, before yielding to any menace whatever, and upon any pretext casting his vote for James B. Weaver and the electors upon that ticket The democrats are engaged in a very peculiar campaign. In the north, in other states than this, I am told they are going for Gen Weaver. They seem to be going for him in the south also. Tumultuous laughter.

I have no desire to dig up the ensanguined undergarment. I have no purpose to revive the p-iiisions'of the war. I have heard a great deal about ma'nanimlty and I believe the platform of our distinguished friend, the people's party, declares that the war is over and that the union cannot be pinned by bayonets. I beg leave to add that it cannot be cemented by eggs. am willing os any man to forgive and forget but there ought to be reciprocity.

I believe my democratic friends say that there is a force bill issue in this campaign; I don't think there is: but I think there ought to be. I have no authority to speak for the republican organization, but I nftirai that this nation will never be properly restored: I affirm that there never will be absolute restoration between the two sections i.ntil It is just exactly as safe for James B. Weaver or any other northern man, whatever may be bis politics, to talk in Georgia, whatever he pleases, as It will be to talk in Kansas, and I affirm beyond all that, that the mission of republicanism as such will never be accomplished until it is just exactly us safe for a black republican to vote in Mississippi as it is for a white democrat to Tote here in Shawnee county. For more than twenty-five years; yes, for more than thirty years, the republican party has practically had charge and controlled the national government, for under the Cleveland hiatus, I speak advisedly, for he never was elected, the senate was republican In this in terval the republican party has established the supremacy of the constitution: It has created a sovereign nation: it has made freedom, the state indestructible, and the nation indissoluble It has also enfranchised free men and abolished slavery. It has invented national banks and a firm currency, and main tained an official system of unprecedented strength and flexibility.

It made paper money legal tender, and it resumed specie payment It suppressed polygamy and organized the em pire of the west by the land laws which have given homes to millions of the publio domain. President Harrison is the only man who has sat in the presidential chair tor the last half century that could conduct every department of the government himself aud run it without a break. He was a gallant and heroio soldier. He was an eminent lawyer. Has been an effl-' cicnt and trained legislator.

He is a courageous man He is not afraid to do right He is a patriot io man, he believes in the American people-and spells the word "Nation" with the biggest letter in the alphabet His letter in reply to the objections of Lord Salisbury to oontinue the modus vtvendj of the sealing trouble with Great Britain is, in my judgment, one of the finest one of the ablest one of the strongest state papers of this country. Jle wrote it himself. He had no secretary of state, and he is just oxaotly as competent to conduct the negotiations with any foreign power of Europe as he is competent and willing to look over the private papers in the case of a pensioner applying for a pension. Th tariff we hear so much about, I believe, nd 1 understand that the party believes that everything we can't manufacture or raise Should be admitted free. That is the reason re admit products of the soil or manufacture, with the exception of.

articles of luxury like champagne, silk and diamonds, which are chiefly used by the rich. But upon everything that we can raise, that we can produce or that we an manufacture, the republican party believes that a duty should be lm-' posed sufficiently large to 1 prevent lis manufacturers and producer! ol other eoun- ana. A eolyr guard of pupils will meet the old soldiers at the entrance and escort them into the building. At a signal the pupils will gather in the large hall or in the yard where the exercises are to take place, and the master of ceremonies will begin the reading of the president's proclamation declaring the day a national holiday. As the reader finishes he announces: "In accordance with this recommendation by the'pretddenU of the United States, and as a sign of our devotion to our eountry, let the flag of our nation be unfurled above this school.

As the flag reaches the top of the staff the veterans will lead the assemblage in "three cheers for Old Then, at a signal from the principal, the pupils face the flag and give it the military salute, saying: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it stands; one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Then in unison will sing "America." A prayer and an acknowledgment of God follows, and the song of Columbus day will have its first rendition in public The first stanza is given in the accompanying cut. The other stanzas follow: Dear country, the star of the vailant and free I Thy exiles afar are dreaming of thee. No fields of the earth so enchanting ly shine. No air breathes such incense, such music as thine. Humanity's home I thy sheltering breast Gives welcome and.

room to strangers op pressed. Pale children of hunger and hatred and wrong Find lite in thy freedom and joy in thy song. Thy' fairest estate the lowly may hold, Thy poor may grow great, thy feeble grow bold; For worth is the watchword to noble deee. And manhood is mighty where manhood is free. 1 union of states, and union of souls! Thy promise awaits, thy future unrolds, And earth from her twilight is hailing the sun, That rises where people and rulers are one.

An address follows in which the story of the four centuries is told. We give it in condensed form as follows: We, who are here met together, are now really in company with 13,000,000 pupils of the American public schools. That is the thought, this day, which stirs our hearts. Though our eyes do not see all these, we can see them with our minus an army of 13,000,000 boys ami girls gathered in school houses great and schoolhouses little, throughout the land and all with the flag of our eountry floating over them. All are assembled at the request of the president of the United States for one purpose.

That purpose is to celebrate the discovery of America by Columbus, whose ship fired a gun 400 years ago this morning, to signal that he then first saw the new world. Yes the New World. For that discovery added more than a new continent ts the other continents. It changed the prospects of mankind; it opened broad lands to their labor; it gave them great new hopes, and so made the world new. Have those hopes been disappointed? No.

That thera are 13,000,050 American children In free school rooms this morning is the best evidence that those hopes have been more than fulfilled. Behind him, in old Europe, Columbus left our ewn ancestors men, women, girls and boys without Any better prospect than that of toiling and lighting for kings and nobles. He left behind him a world where the most of the pedple were- common people, and where common people were treated as having few human rights. He saw before him a new world, where those common people, set free to do their own will, were by and by to establish the same Tights for everybody, free education for all the children and a government by the people for the people. He saw before him this America, where of us pupils of the common schools are this day met in thankfulness to God who sent Columbus forth, and who moved our forefathers to make this a land of freedom, law and schools.

All that our forefathers did we receive. It was done for us: it is given to us freely. So upon us is laid a mighty trust Upon us is laid the duty to be patriots, like those who made our land the glad place it is. The people to-day have made the school children all over the land the leaders In this Columbus day celebration, so as to give to us a lesson in patriotism which we never shall forget We can begin to be patriots now. Wears patriots as soon as we love our country and Its flag.

When we try to make our school a better school, when we try to make our games fair games, we begin to be patriotic citizens. And then, we, the boys and girls of America to-day, are going to be the men and women of America before long. Very soon we will have to govern the towns and cities, build the schools and make the laws Whatever we shall do that makes all the people happier will make our country's flag brighter. But If we should vote when we grow up for things that are wrong that would stain the flag. So, let us promise that the flag of our dear land, which, so proud and bright flies over our heads to-day, shall never be stained by our fault Let us pledge ourselves that the great came America shall forever mean an equal chance to every citizen and love to all the world.

Then follows a magnificent ode written by Edna Dean Proctor. This is as follows and concludes the uniform exercises: COLUMBIA 8 "God helping me," oried Columbus, "though fair or foul the breeze, I will sail and sail till I And the land beyond the western seas So an eagle might leave Its eyrie, bent, though the blue should bar, To fold its wings 00 the loftiest peak of an on. discovered star!

Till the Plnta's gun and the shout of ''Land!" set the blaok night ablaze I Till the shore lay fair as paradise ia morning's balm and gold, And a world was won from the conquered deep and the tale ef the ares told!

The Indians are sullen and in many ways show their resentful feeling, and unless something is done to counteract this there is danger of trouble next spring. "One thing that gives me reason for saying this is the fact that Indiana with wlinm I am whII hennainted were es tremely reticent when I tried to converse with them and rather exhibited a desire to avoid talking. The Messiah spirit is not dead and the whites must not depend on the statement that the Indians are no longer considering the promises made by old Sitting Bull and the other medicine men who led the trouble two years ago. While there is no open dancing there is quiet discussion of the subject and the fact that the promise was that the Messiah would come after two springs, which would bring the time in the spring of 1893, is being carefully kept in mind by the Indians." An Obstreperous School Board.

Jefferson Cur, Oct. 10. President E. Wolfe, of the Missouri school commission, has addressed to Gov. Francis a letter urging the calling of a special meeting of the commission to consider the action of the Sedalia schools in using books not contracted for by the state commission.

Oemocratlo Contributions. New Yoke, Oct 10. Grover Cleveland has contributed 110,000 to the democratic campaign fund. This announcement was made at headquarters yesterday. Three weeks ago he handed his check for that amount to the Treasurer Robert Roosevelt and by him sent it through the Holland Trust Co.

It is also reported that Mr. Cleveland'! personal friends, E. C. Benedict, Mr. Whitney and Mr.

Dickinson, have each contributed (10,000. The amount of Chairman Harrity's check was ('25. Clothing Makers Locked Out. Boston, Oot 10.

The cow is a calf, if our city butchers are to be believed, until there is no more room on her horns for rings. When she is too old to give two quarts of milk per diem and then kick it all over the dewy-lipped milkmaid, the careful farmer drives her on a railroad track, wrecks a freight train with her, and then sues the company for the price of a Jersey. Of course the company kicks worse than the cow ever did, but the honest agriculturist gets a jury of fellow farmers and the soulless monopoly has to come to taw. "'St.
