Mr. Postmaster General J'.issell admitted Mr. Hose and Congressman Greedy without ceremony in primi tive American style. I'.ut on the 8th of May Mr. Cleveland, filled with the spirit of Ahasuerus the kinf, promulgated a similar law, dosing the White I louse in the face of thoe who thought that they Mere tjik p-ople, and sought to be the servants, of the king, also. The Persian king threatened physical death, the mag nificent American would kill politi cally. Since the days of Ahasuerus, who comes nearer "settin' back on his fetlock" than your uncle (i ro ver! "A VOTER" SEES IT NOW. Mi;. Kiutou; I want to thank you for your editorial in last week's issue. I refer to the editorial head ed "The folly of putting new wine in old bottles." I got from it an idea that you might have expressed, or rather your editorial suggested to me an answer to a question that I have asked myself and that has puz zled me now for nearly a year. It is why the old party bosses are ready to accept almost any reform the peo ple demand and to put it in their party platforms, but that when the people dare to act independently and fight for these same reforms that the same bosses and politicians " declare that the reforms are bad and vici ous? I see it now, They are will ing to put our reforms in their plat form, if we will elect them to office, for then they will never carry them out or only pretend to do so. But when the people talk about electing to office men (who don't belong to the machine) and wno might hon estly try to parry out these reforms, then the men are bad and the re forms are worse. J see it all now. Yours to the end, A Voter. WANTS DEMOCRATIC FREE SCHOOLS. The Charlotte Observer, after rais ing a calamity howl about the condi tion of tle free schools, says : ffThis Ian;en table state of affairs inust be remedied i we ever expect pur hitate to be prosperous down to the very core ; if we expect to keep our country children from growing up believing in the dangerous non sense of Third party teaclpngsand other such fallacies, which their fathers believe because the State never provided for their education, but allowed them to grow up in ig norance." If you will analyze the above it says p.) that the free schools don'f do much educating but what it does do helps the "Third party," and (2) that since it has taught so many to join the f'Tlijnl party" that jf "the Democratic party can not capture some of their sons, that it is "gone by the board." In short the Ob server wants Democratic free schools, lut if the sphoojs should teach boys tq be broad -gaged, and liberal in their views, if they ehmld teach tliem to weigh all sides ot. every question, then thb schools will be more than apt to help the People's party. Any way we are in favor of them- There is a paragraph in the Na tional Democratic plattorm favoring the repeal of the ten per cent, tax on State bank notes, but we observe tbaj; a gqod many Fiemoprats, now that . the election is over, are not standing on that plank. Nor is therereason why they should not do There is also a plank denouncing the silver purchase act, but that is coupled with a declaration iu favor of the free pojnage of slyer. J?ree coinage may uot now be prac ticable, and thus the utterance of the Earty on the silver question may not e a bindjog lip f action this is not the case, however, m regard to the repeal of the ten per cent. tax.

O'Neil for his ijiitiring efforts in the inter est and for success of these meet ings I will announce that Col. McClure will act as chairman and will introduce Col, Wattterson. (Applause.) Col. McClure said. Ladies and gentlemen, I am very glad indeed to be with you this evening, not only be cause of the occasion, but because of the man that fits the occasion, and I am further gratified to find this free Temple, for it is the freest of all our temples, and yet within all the sacred lines of its purpose. I am glad to wee this free temple thrown open for a Democratic mass meet ing for ' oue night. fApplase.) Not because I am much of a Democrat myself but because I like intelligent, progressive people, sucn as these church people, who wish to hear all sides and to hold fast to that which is good and I am specially grati fied to find the wordly wisdom that is beginning to mingle with our progressive 'chijreh people, I mean the worldly wisdom that makes churf.hes better, not (Jemoralizes them, but makes them better. For religion after aH belongs to the world, and every condition of man, and every calling of human effort, and the closer the church gets to the world maintaining all its sanctity of religio'n, thj more good it accomplishes," the better Christian it makes, and the' more Christians it creates. I am glad to make this Temple a pjodel, as a church in that regard, and I profoundly re gret for religion needs a founda tion of social order, and publicsafety everywhere, I simply regret that we have not more churches as broad, and as ttpostolic as this one. I am sure that the cause of the church would progress much better if it were so. 1 am happy to have the oport unity to present to you a gentleman who needs "no introduc tion even here, where' perhaps there are bat few who have never heard of him, a man whose name is known not oply in his sate, not only in every state iu the Union, but whose fame is international, not only as an editor but f(.s orator.

But money is not only relative ; it is full of illusions and delusions. ,- From the poor crea ture who is sure he will get it some where, he don t exactly know how, and don't much care, and who sroes into, debt on the strength of his ex pectations, to the poor creature who has no hope in particular, but who is solvent, from the wan women in the attic waiting for the letter that never comes, to the brave and honest lad by the furnace, who helieves that the hammer in his ; hand is a wizzard's wand as it often is, and who never means to let go until he has struck a fortune out of the earth ; from the capitalists in the counting house to whom money is ajmeans to solve the problem always presenting itself to those people, prince, peasant, philos opher, warrior, statesman, all of them have at one time been struck by that golden rod that has brought so much happiness and so much wretchedness ninto the world, and willcontinue to do so. as long as the world endures. For money is the great material fact, the pivot about which all other facts revolve, the piston-rod which drives all else. whether we accept the teachings of the JNew. .testament and regard the love of it as the root of all evil or the fact presented by socialism never was haot.ior in mi- life than when to avoid the humilia tion of bo-rowing from an xxo' U whose polities I did not armr.- (Ungfcter) 1 went with my watch to an uncle who had no politics at all, nd got the Uion.-v : Ui..rl,t..-i I'ut 1 never knew what it wax t In. thoroughly unhappy uutil 1 had ac- lUired a considerable income, with its accumulation of want, and was brought into close oersoital utimacy with those charm int' friends of a mai who hud what they call credit iu ban ft.

I should hate to think that money is a positive oar to salvation, a.ri.o; that it is a natural sin to see'l i,ud train hiuch of it, but it in undoubtedly true that tne possession of money will harden and corrupt ten times to the one time t elevates and ennobles. Thti man who trades in. money is apt t"o take on some of the hrittienvss of the metal composing it, and he gets in time to measure everything and everybody by that metallic standard; it i. his business in life to rub wo dollars to gether tq nwtke three of them, or per haps, rour, five or six. Capital, we are told, is timid ; that is" Wause it las no heart in it, but has eves and ars, and it makes up for its lack of ourage by carefulness that rarely rusts except on good security, but never tires evcept when the debt is j past and is always suspicions of the I mider.

Our Uuvature is full of illus trations, some of tham humorous and some of them pathetic, showing the evils that wealth has brought to indiyiduals and family ; but w need not these fictitious examples we are constantly met n nr own daily walks by instances that point the moral and adorn the tale of great ex pectations coming to naught by actu al realisation and delightful visions of fancy turned to afhes and dead sea fruit in the hands of possession. It is my belief that the world has been mnh misled by some of its best maxim, or rather le t me say by the misinterpretation of its most accep ted maxims. For example, there Vi muo of those that appeals, in W many languages and pqfa itself in such a variety of phrase as that which urges us to per severe in all thing. Perseverance, we are told, conquers s things. Then we are tol.d, that labor conquera all thing.

Of tenest the sacrifices made, and failure, and even the wine cup of success i8 attained, how it fails to bring us what we expected. And I think it a lesson that the poorest workinman needs to learn very ear ly in life. An eminent pnblic man once said to me in the presence of a great do mestic bereavement, I was elected to the senate of the United States when I was just turned thirty, but by an act of treason of a supposed fuiend I lost my seat some three years later, and from that day to this, for the last fifteen years, my one aim in life, aud the whole aim and object of my existence has been to get that seat back again, and at last that wish has been f nlfilled, and what does it matter f ter all ? 1 once heard president of the United States say : ! was a candi date for twenty years ; regularly ev ery four years my state sent a dele gation to the national convention to urge my nominatin, and regularly every four years they came away bea ten and disappointed : and at last when I had given it up, when it had no longer any power to influence or charm me ; whan all the friends I loved, and wanted to reward were dead, and most of the enemies I ha ted and had marked for punishment were turned my friends, I was noml- 1 V -ar natea ana eiectea.

I do not believe every man who has come short in his accounts is necessarily a scoun drel. I don't believe everv refugee must needs be a thief at heart: on the contrary, I believe that if the truth oonld be got at it would be found in many cases that down to the very hour of flight there was an honest effort and purpose to renair. done in the most sanguine expecta tion, or in a moment ol despair. In cases of official delinquencies, how often that springs from the neglect of the offiicial to keep, his public and private accounts separate and dis tinct, and of a sudden he discovers a discrepancy and promises to make it good. aV year passes, the gap is wider still, he takes the risk and of course then he makes the fatal plunge; down he goea into the vor tex. Even under the ordinary cases of breaches of trust we encounter in our daily experience, how often they spring from good intentions to which the world applies with a very short name which is supposed to be paved. Indeed the gambling mania seems to be universal, and the gambler never expects to lose. There is always before his mind's eye the mirage of that caiptal prixe in the lottery of life, or that winning hand in the game of his choice and even among those who habitually play for money it has been observed that when . they win they laugh, and swear when they lose, just as if it was not a certainty when they set down to the ta I -it must be one or the other, striking nut from the result any possibility of sur prise, one would suppose such per sons ought to be more stoical but it is not so. Each sitting is to them as though their last, and no man ex pects to lose and when he does he is correspondingly angry, he only ex pects to win and what a fatal mis take does the man make who lay his hand upon that which he cannot honestly call his own. I know something about that my self, (laughter) When I was a boy I was elected by my school mates one of the editors of a periodical of oar literary society, and fey successive re elections term after term the man agement of that ambitious serial came into my hands. 1 , was editor, managing editor, secretary and treas urer, a very bad combination, when ever they are found.
