His L eminent services 1 to
mankind, rendered through a long
life conspicuous for purity, command
respect for his utterances in the out
set, while the petty self seeking of
Ingnrspll's existence can never secure
anything more than mere toleration
at best. This advantage is improved
by i be sledge hammer blows of the

that will delight all those who hold
to the sheet anchor of the Christ an
religion and will appear to al
unbianed minds unanswerable from
the quar f r to which it is addressed.
Mr. Gladstone first observes with
respect to the saucy Bob's production:
''I do not remember eve to have
read a composition in which the
merely local coloring of particular,
and even very limited, sections of
CuriHtiauity was more systematically

of his wo k; and, if argument or
some favorable admission here and
theie peeps out for a momeDt, the
writer soon leaves he drv and barren
heights for hi favorite and more uxu
rious galloping grounds beneath.
The paper, noteworthy as it is, leaves
on my mind the impression of a bat
tlefield, where every man strikes at
eve y tutu, and all is noise, hurry and
confusion."
With b ting sarcasm the greatest
of Englishmen reminds the greatest
of infidels that the feeling aud faith
of cbribtiaas are entitled to
respect aud says: "Not only
is the ntfme of Jehovan en
circled in the heart of every belieser
with the profouudest reverence and
love, but the Cariititn re igioa teach

Mr. Glads one shows the narrow

tack on tbe (jrou ot tne oio e, con-
c udmg his demonstration of Inger

Hon. D- W, Voorhees' speech in

tbe President's annual message waa
remaikably fine in conception an'' de

play of genuine oratory, maeea, in

On the issue of sectional hate, forced

field, and yet at this late day a cam
paign of political animosity is again
declared against the people of the
South, their righ s, their security and
their good name.
The especial anger of Republican
leaders is excited because the vote of
the South in a national contest is
solid against their party. Will Borne
one oh tbe other sideol th- chamber,
and with even the slightest knowl
edge of human nature, tell me how
the vote of the South could be other
than it is? You had political su
premacy once from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande. At one time and
another for seven years and more af
ter the war you had the ascendency
in every State of the entire South;
you eiec ed Republican Governors,
State officers and legislatures fn them
all. You had the purse with which to
corrupt, the sword with which to mtim
date, and a Republican Congress and
President to enact and to enforce all
lawn necessary for the over hrow of
individual and State rights and for
the consolidation of your power.
You seized upon the enfranchised
negro aud sought to organize aud
hurl him against the peace and sreur
ity of politi al and social Older, aud
for a time au 1 ip many instance you
succeeded. You aud your allies, who
uiontlv weut tbere from the Norm
uot "allies of the Confederacy," but
allies for power aud plunder, swep
down upon the helpless South like
Hder-Ali upon the Caruatic, and leit
scarcely a vestige from which to hope
aud with which to rebuild, except its
never failing soil aud its s auch and
splendid luauhood You dewpolled
States of their resource, aud you dis
mantled them of their credit. You
iHsued their bonds aud securities in
the merest of fraud, and hacked
them on the markets, like counterfeit
paper, for aty thing you could get.
You ordered investigations, aud
sent committees and commissions,
compoed of your bitterest partisans.
into the South, for the purpose of
scraping together and putting in per

defame and blacken the reputation of
the Southern people. Tney were

repeatedly annulled honest elections
when their results were favorable to
the atabdity and good older of ao
ciety and against tbe schemes of par

overturned the State government of
South Carolina in 1876, and sgaiu
sacked the substance and the eiedit
oi tne state, naa it not ieen in at a
giant stood in your way, upheld by
the public judgment of the world.
You provoked collisions between
the two races in oider to justify mil
itary usurpation and to inflame sec
lional hate at the North. Sir, the
career of the Republican party du -
ing its ascendancy in the South was a
a career of crime, unrelieved by a Bin

cation, the progress, tne prosperity.
the peace, or the happiness of either
race, white or black. It i eared and left
behind it no monument of partisauisin,
wisdom, or benevolence to tell future
ages that its presence had been a
blesi-ing and not a curse. And when
the future historian comes to inquire
why and bow and exactly when the
Republican party lost its tremendous

rule than the' pirate chiefs of Barra

that they wanted such government

But, sir, suppose we permit the
people of the entire South to make
answer by their works io the te
proaches of sectional hate, to tbe
proposed inquest legislation of the
Senator from Massachusetts Mr.
Hof, and to the other revolutionary
and unconstitutional measures intro

in the other branch of Congress. The
spirit of wonderful prog reus does not
ize upon a country sfSicled with

and increased confidence inspired 4y
the law abiding people in the South

dustr al growth in 1887 as compared
with the former year, 1886.
And when we add to this bril iant

I rejoice tQat the corrup'. tree once
planted in the South has been torn
up by the roots, and that the good
tree-, bearing good fruit, is toweriug
uuder a Soutbern sky in perennial
bloom and beauty. The declivities
of the Soutbern mountains are pour

of coal, and the water courses and
boundless sod . productions of that
country combine to injure a future
there more arable in its contributions
to human happiness and more re
splendent in its accumulated ea th
than tue most prosperous ages hereto

The South is simply rising to her
manifest destiny, aud with her ate
ways of immigration thrown wide
open by the abol tion of slavery, with
a hoil. of unapproachable fecundity,
with timber, water-powers, aud mm
eral re Of ices, practically boundless
in extent, and with a climate ad pud
to the processes of a propagating gar
den, it bewilders the most imperial
imagination to attempt to graf p her
coudi ion a hundred years hence or
even fifty, or even a quarter of a cen
tury. It would seem, in view of ber
grand resurrecti n and, her speedy
and lofty flight, that, with slight
change of praseolog' , and no change
of meaning, the sublime lOnoeption
aud words of Milton might, wun pr. -priety,

NEW YORK.
TLis Company was organized for
life insurance exclusively, in the year
1850 It has no connection with any
other busine- Its public statements
give insurers a full knowledge of the
character of its basineeB, the nature
of its assets, and its progTe" from
tear to year. Over cne-thira of a
century of successful business has
placed it in every respect among ,the
leading life companies; its conserva
tive msoagi'Uient commends it to the
confidence of insurers as one of the
strongest and bent. Its 6mall death rate
shows great care in the selection of
its Insurers. Its rate of expense of
conducting the business has been very
low.
It exhibits a larger percentage of
surplus, as computed by the New
York insurance department, than any
other Company in this State, show
ing the security and prosperity of
the Company, and making certain the
payment of claims which must ocxuir
m future years.
Attention is particularly called to
the following facts regarding this
Company : Its solid, simple organi
zation. Its age. The great publicity
and openness of its affairs. The small
death rate. The small rate of ex
pense. The excellent character of its
investments. Its strength compared
with the amount of its obligations.
