THE MBLY HERALD OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE WINFIELD CHAUTAUQUA ASSEMBLY. YOU ISLAND PARK, WINFIELD, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 3, 1890. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. A UV I JJlbll the earth to-day. They are like the Gulf stream, they go on in tueir course through the great ocean aud n'ver mingle with otuer nations.

And more tuau that they are becoming a power iu the lands where they reside. They are the moneyed men. They furnish th9 siuews of war iu Europe to day and where did they get that power? They got it away back there in the time of Abraham, wnea God said: I kiuw him that he will coin maud his children and his household aud that has been the great bulwark of strength among the Jews. They have commauded their children and their households ever since. It has en their fortress, their mighty rock, their anchor.

Aud that is what is the matter with the race. And in the ancient times so great was the filial love tnat we cannot help but admire it, We all remoinber of the burning of ancient Troy and how the Pius Aeneas wout back through the burning city aud never ceased his search until he found his aged lather Anchises and bore him away in safety on his back although the enemy were all about them. And I am not loath to say that that same Aeneas was the progen Itor of the most mighty race that shook the earth with the tramp of their armies. In an WHAT ARE' THEY? WHO ARE THEY? questioned Pat's abilities and said I do not beileve you can tell what part of speech but is. lint said Pat.botisa ram part ofspeech.

Great laughter. That's the Irish of it. He is a nutter and he buts exwrythiug he comes across. He is naturally opposed to Government, and if I had been rn ou the imrald Isle, and had suffjred under lSuglisn oppressions 1 would ba opposed to government too, and with Pat I would shout for Fnrnell, and Gladstone, that grand old Englishman. If I had been born in Russia and had wituessed the horrors of the Siberian exile system, aud the oppression of the government, 1 would be opposed to the government and would throw bombs.

In this country our government is so iike the air aud so benetioleut, that we are scarcely conscious of it, But we are all like Pit, naturally opposed to government. You see it in the baby as he plants nis foot on the floor and says, ahn n. We see it iu the old men. The other day I was traveling ou the railroad and saw them taking an old mau to the asylum. The old man would not sit down because some one had told hitr.

to, aud there be stood bolt upwright. Now we are just like that old man and Pat, we are constitutionally opposed to being governed, every mother's son of us. The first of our governors is a little one he does not weigh more than fifteen pounds, but the way he sits down on the rest of the family is a caution. It is the baby. He bosses everyone about the house.

Other tyrants issue their edicts in silence, but he howls his out night aud dav, especially nights. Laughter. Now here is the hired girl. A mother once braided that hair and smoothed those tresses and covered those lips ith kisses. Her mother lives across the sea or perhaps she does not Jive but lies in some cemetery there in an unmarked grave.

And she delves on moug pots and paus thyiug to make a living She has headache and heartache, and when the day's work if over she has only a tittle room in the attic in which to retire, and it is a regular sweat house. Is it auy wonder, then, that she is a terror? The greatest wonder is that she is not worse. Oh, ladies, enter iuto sympathy with your hired help. But some say that you cannot treat them like human beings. A Christian should be ashamed to say such, atbin.

Another governor is my lady, and she is an empress, a queen; a perlem, queer. Some say she is ihe wtaktr vesktl, but they have never measured their strength with her. It has long beeu a question whether or not Paul was a married man, but I know he was not, and can prove it. He says: a ve 1 not the pdwer to lead about a wife, a mother, a sister? Now if he hud evr tried it he voulj never have asked hat question. The man is called the head of the family.

Well if the man is the head, the wouian is the neck that turns the head. Laugh -ter. And the woman has rule4 and here I wain to say just a word about my grandfather Adam." They say he laid it all on the woman. He said the woman thou gayest me did tempt me and I ate. Now that would you have him say.

Laughter. lie told the truth, would you havohim tell a IU The deil looked at Adam and concluded he would not try it, but he got a woman to help him and she succeeded. A woman can beat the devil every time. Laughter. Adam was not deceived.

He knew the meaning of that curse; be saw the awiul consequence as Eve did not, but he saw that she was a ruined aud he took it because he loved her so well. And that is what we have been doing ever since. Perhaps he was the greater sinner because he took it knowing the awful consequences, but it does not become the women to reprove him on that account.

And this country must have some of the same filial if the city by the Potomac ever compiles with the city by the Tiber. There is another governor about the house anc she is a governess.

She reigns amu ig the pots and paus and grease and her name is Bridget. She comes from Cork or it may name is Mary and she comes from the Fatherland, and you must he careful how you get along with her. You never know when she is going oil'. It may be when te children are down with the tneasle, but you can't get along without her. She says I won't work another minute, and you can get some one else.

Well, you are glad it has come lor she has made your life miserable. She has beeu something between a ninderauce and a help. You wish you had not been Lorn or that she had not been. But on the other hand, I want to say a word for the girl. Everybody be Talk of rights, who would ever have thought that that proud belle, who but a few years ago held sway in society would be ruled by that young tyrant.

Cut there she is wearing her young life out wait ing upon him. I was riding in apullraan car the other dav. JNow you wouldn't believe jt, me being a poor preacher. Iam not gomg to tell you the reason I was there, perhaps 1 was there for tte reasou given by the old minister who attended a ministerial association, and the other ministers were surprised to see him alight SOLID, SPICY, PLAIN ing from a Pullman car, and said: You. rates her.

No one has a kind word for her.

The I am sure I am very much obliged to you for the hearty welcome with which you have greeted me. I hope you will excuse me this afternood from lifting up my voice, as i have been suffering by the recent recurrence of tne "Grippe" and will have to talk softly.

I sometimes ing on him and a picture taken of him have been sacrificing for the women evtr since. Look at our starched shirts would we wear them if it was not for the women? I rather think not.

You never see them in camp or at a stag party. Then the tight boots and stove pipe hat and the collars tli at almost cut our ears off. Why do we spend so much money? And why do try to look so handsome? We do it to pleese the women. Whv do we uy Hum downy carpets and musical i ns'tninunts aii'd siiks and satin and diamonds? We do it to please them. Why dowewishto climb to the heights of fame? Why do men wish to Deoome presidents of the United States.

It is to make your wife the first lady of the land. Why was Cleveland willing to struggle for the presidency and to endure the scoffs and slanders of the politicians. He did it to please Fannie she wanted to become the first lady in the land. The real reason was not known at first, but it came out after he was elected I told you something about my courtship when was here last year, but I did not tell you all of it, The first thing I did when I went to college was to fall in love, and I fell head over heels. She was an angel, and I loved her to distraction, I walked among the cloudF, I went about smelling of musk.

We were engaged, but one day we got disen? paged, and it happened in this way; 1 was visiting her in the mountains and there were some country swains there and they bad fine horse and were rich. My hose was not as fine as theirs and I was not rich, and so I was as jealous as Othello and I stood off and looked at them and made a fool of myself.

The mother looked on in astonish the daintiest kind of a dog.

But it is not many people who can govern like that Now it is amusing to see the man try his hand at governing.

We call him the governor and I do not know why we call him that unless il is because he doasn't govern. He may be a great merchant or a great judge or a great generator a gt eat railroad magnate, but tha way the baby will make him get down on all fours and go peek-a-boo with him around the room is wonderful.
