that tho who possess it, bing free from the necessity of working for their livelihood, are all the more bound to carry on somo kind of nonremuncratlve work in science, in letter, in art. in exploration, in historical research work of the type we most neM In this country, tho successful carrying out of which reflects most honor upon the Nation. Wo do not udmire the man of timid peace. We admire the? man who embodies victorious efforts, the man who never wrongs his neighbor, who is prompt to help a friend, but has. those virile, qualities necessary to win the stern strife of actual life. It I hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we g?t rothlng save by effort. Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there lias been stored up effort in the past. A man enn t freed from the necessity f work only by the fact that he or his. fathers before him have worked to good purpose. If the freedom thus purchased is used crUnt. and the man still does actual work, though of u different kind, whether as a writer or a general, whether in the field of politic or in the field of exploration and Hdventure, he shows he deserves his pood fortune. Hut if he treats this period of freedom from the need of actual labor as a period not of preparation, but of mere enjoyment. evn though jerhaps not of vicious enjoyment, he snows that he is pimply u cumberer on the earth's surface, and he surclv unfits Himself to hold his own with hi fellows if the neI to do so idiouM again arise. A mere life of ease is not in the end a very satisfactory life. and. above all. It is a life which ultimately untlts those who follow it for serious work in the world. COURAGB ISETTKIt THAN MBEKXISS. "As it Is with the Individual, so it is with tho nation. It is a base untruth to say that lappy'Is thi nation that has no history. Thrice happy Is the nation that has a glorious history. Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take tank with those poor spirits who neither enJoy much nor suffer much, because they live In the gray twilight that knows neither victory' nor defeat. .If, la 101, the men who loved the Union believed that peace was the end of all things, and war and strife the worst of all things, and had acted up to their belief, we would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives; wc would have saved hundreds of millons of dollars. Moreover, besides saving all the blood and treasure we then lavished, wo would have prevented the heart-break of many women, the dissolution of many homes, and we would have spared the country those months of gloom and shame, when it seemed es if our armies ir arched only to defeat. We could have avoided all this suffering simply by shrinking from strife. And if we had thus avoided it we would have shown that we were weaklings, and that we wero untit to stand among the great nations of the earth "Thank Gtnl for the iron in the blood of our fathers, the men who upheld the wisdom of I-Jncoln and bore sword or rifle in the armies of Grant. Let u. the children of men who proved themselves equal to the mighty days, let us, the children of men who carried the great civil war to a triumphant conclusion. 'praise the God of our lathers that the ignoble counsels of peace were rejcted; that the suffering and Ios. the blackness of sorrow and despair, were unflinchingly faced and the years of strife endured: for in the end the slave was freed, the Union restored and the mighty American ltepublic placed oncn more as u hclmeted queen among nations. "We of this generation do not have to face a task such as that our fathers faced, but wo have our tasks anil woe to us If we fail to perform them. We cannot, if we would, play tho part of China and be content to rot by inches in ignoble ease within our lKrders. taking no interest in what goea on beyond them; sunk in a scrambling commercialism, heedless of the higher life, the life of aspiration, of toil and risk, busying ourselves only with thft wants of our bodies for the day, until suddenly we find, beyond ji shadow of question, what China has already found, that in this world the nation that has trained Itself to a career of unwarUko and Isolated ease Is bound in the end to down before other nations which have jiot lost tho manly and adventurous qualities. If we are to be a really great people we must strive In good faith to play a great part In tho world. We cannot avoid meeting great issues. All that we can determine for ourselves is whether we shall meet them well or ill. Iast year we could not help being brought face to face with the problem of war with Spain. All we could decide was whether we should shrink like cowards from the contest, or enter Into it as bewsemed a brave and high-spirited people, and. once in, whether failure or success ehould crown our banners. So it Is now. We cannot avoid the responsibilities that confront us in Hawaii, Cuba, Porto Itlco and tho Philippines. All we can decide is whether we shall meet them in a way that will redound to the national credit, or whether we shall make of our dealings with these new problems a dark and shameful page in our history. To refuse to deal with them at all merely amounts to dealing with them badly. We have a given problem to olve. If we undertake the solution there Is, of course, always danger that we may r.ot solve It aright. Hut to refuse to undertake the solution simply rentiers it certain that we cannot possibly solve it cright. The timid man, the lazy XT.an. th- man who distrusts his country, the overcivillzed man who has lost the great lighting, masterful virtues, the Ignorant man and the man of dull mind, whose soul is incapable of feeling the mighty lift that thrills 'stern men with erapires in their brains.' all these, of course, shrink from seeing the Nation undertake its new duties; shrink from seeing us build a r.avy and army adequate to our needs; shrink from seeing us do our share of the vorld's work, by bringing order out of chaps in the great, fair tropic islands from which the valor of our soldiers and sailors has driven the Spanish Mag. These are the men who fear tho strenuous life, wtio fear the only national life which is really worth leading. They believe in that cloistered life which saps the hardy virtues In a nation, as it saps them In the individual; or else they ore wedded to that base spirit of gain and freed which recognizes in commercialism the be-all and end-all of national life, instead of realizing that, though an indespensuble element, it is after all but one of tho many elements that go to make up true national greatness. INDUSTRIAL, ACTIVITY NOT ENOUGH. "No country can long endure if Its? foundations are ; not laid deep In the material Xrosperity Which comes from thrift, from business energy and enterprise, from hard, unsparing effort In the fields of Industrial activity; but neither was any nation ever yet truly great if It relied upon material prosperity alone. All honor must be paid to

th architects of our material prosperity, to the great captains of industry who have built our factories and our railroads; to the strong men who toll for wealth with brain, or hand; for greot is the debt of the Nation to these and their kind. Hut our debt is yet greater to the men whose highest type Is to t found in a statesman like Uncoln. a soldier like Grant. They showed by their lives that they recognized the law of work, the law of strife; they tolled to win a competence for themselves and those dependent upon them, but they recognized that there were yet other and even loftier duties duties to the Nation and duties to the race. "We cannot sit huddled within our borders and avow ourselves merely an assemblage of well-to-do hucksters who care nothing for what happens beyond. Such a policy would defeat even its own end; for. as the nations grow to have ever wider and wider interests and are brought into closer and closer contact, if we are to hold our own in the struggle for naval and commercial supremacy, we must build up our power within our own borders. We must build the Isthmian canal, and we must grasp the points of vantage which will enable us to have eur say in deciding the destiny of the oceans of the East and the West. "So much for the commercial sj.de. From the standpoint of international honor, the argument is even stronger. The guns that thundered off Manila and Santiago left us echoes of glory, but they also left us a legacy of duty. If we drove out a mediaeval tyranny only to make room for savage anarchy, we had better not have begun the, task at all. It is worse than idle to say that we have no duty to perform and can leave to their fates the islands we have conquered. Such a course would be the course of Infamy. It would be folio weel at once by utter chaos in the wretched islands themselves. Some stronger, manlier iower would havo to step in and do the work: and we would have shown ourselves weakline. unable to carry to successful completion the labors that great and high-spirited nations are eager to undertake. "The work must be done. We cannot escape our responsibility, and if we are worth our salt, we shall be glad of the chance to do the work glad of the chance to show ourselves equal to one of the great tasks set modern civilization. But let us not deceive ourselves as to the importance of the task. Let us not b misled by vain glory into underestimating the strain it will put on our powers. Above all, let us. as wo value our own self-respect, face the responsi lilltles with proper seriousness, courage and high resolve. We must demand the highest orelcr of integrity and ability in our public men who are to grapple with these new problems. We must hold to a rigid accountability those public servants who show unfaithfulness to the interests of the Nation or inability to rise to the high level of the new demands upon our strength and our resources. "Of course, we must rememlKT not to judge any public servant by any one act, and especially should we beware of attacking the men who are merely the occasions anel net the causes t)f disaster. Iet me illustrate what I mean by the army and navy. If twenty years agi we had gone to war, we should have found the navy hs absolutely unprepared as the army. At that time our ships could not have encountered with success the fleets of Spain any more than nowaday we can put untrained soldiers In the Held, no matter how brave, who are not armeel with the highest type of modern repeating rifle. Hut in the early sos the attention of the nation became directed to our navel needs. Congress most wisely made a series of appropriations to build up a new n'tvy. and under a succession of able and patriotic secretaries, of both political parties, the navy was gradually built up, until Its material became equal to its spledid personnel, with th result that last summer it leaped to its proper place as one of the mdst brilliant and formidable lighting navies In the world. TO WHOM PRAISE IS DUE. "We rightly pay honor to the men controlling the navy at the time it won these great deeds, honor to Secretary Long and Admiral Dewey, to the captains who handled the ships In action, to the daring lieutenants who braved death in the smaller craft, and to tie heads of bureaus at Washington, who, saw that the ships were so commantled, so armed, so equipped, so well engined, as to Insure the best results. Hut let us also keep ever in mind that all of this would not have availed If It had not been for the wisdom of the men, who, during the preceding fifteen years had built up the navy. Keep In mind the secretaries of the navy during these years; keep In mind the senators and congressmen, who, by their votes, gave the money necessary to build and to armor the ships', to construct the great guns, anel to train the crews: remember also those who actually did builel the ships, the armor anel the guns; and remember the admirals and captains who handled battle ships, cruiser and torpedo boat on the high sea.-. alone and In squadrons, developing the seamanship, the gunnery and the power of acting together, which their sucessors; utilized so gloriously at Manila and off Santiago. And, gentlemen, remember the converse, too. Remember that justice has two sides. Re just to those who built up the navy. ?nd for the sake of the future of the country, keep in mind those who opposed Its building up. Read the Congressional Recorel. Find out the senators and congressmen who opposed the grants for building the new ships, who opposed the purchase of armor, without which the ships were worthless; who opposed any adequate maintenance for the navy department, and strove to cut down the number of men necessary to man our fleets. The men who elld these things were one and all working to bring disaster on the country. They have no share in tho glory of Manila, In the honor of Santiago. They have no cause to feel proud of the valor of our sea captains, of the renown of our Hag. Their motives may or may not have been good, but their acts were heavily fraught with evil. They did ill for the national honor; and we won in spite of their sinister opposition. "Now, apply all this to our public men of to-day. Our army has never been built up as it should be built up. I shall not discuss with an audience like this the puerile suggestion that a nation of seventy millions of freemen is In danger of losing its liberties from the existence of an army of one hundred thousand men. three-fourths of whom will be employeel in certain foreign islands, in certain coast fortresses, and on Indian reservations. No man of good sense and stout heart can take such a proposition seriously. If we are such weaklings as the proposition implies, then we are unworthy of freedom in any event. To no body of men in the United States Is the country so much Indebted as to the splendid officers anel enliated men of the regular army and navy; there Is no body from which the country has less to fear; and none ef which it should be prouder, none which it should be more anxious to upbuild. "Our army needs complete reorganization not merely enlarging anel the reorganization can only come as the result of legislation. A proper general staff should be. established, and the positions of ordnance, commissary anel quartermaster officers shoulel be tilled by detail from the line. Above all, the army must be given the chance to exercise in large bodies. Never again should we see, as we saw in the Spanish war, major generals In commanel of divisions, who had never before commaneled three companies together in the Held. Yet. incredible to relate, the recent Congress has shown a queer Inability to learn some of the lessons of the war. There were large bodies of men in both branches who opposed the declaration of war; who opposed the ratification of peace; who opposed the upbuilding of the army, and who even opposed the purchase of armor at a reasonable price for the battle ships and cruisers, thereby putting an absolute stop to the building of any new fighting ships for the navy. "If. during the year 10 come, any disaster should befall our arms, afloat or ashore and thereby any shame come to the I'niteel State, remember that the blame will lie upon the men whose names appear upon the roll-calls of Congress on the wrong side of these great questions. On them will lie the burden of any Uss of our soldiers and sailors, of any dishonor to the flag: and upon you and the people of this country will lie the blame if you do not repudiate, in no unmistakable way, what these men have done. The blame will not rest upon the untrained commander of untried troops; upon the civil officers of a department, the organization of which has been left utterly inadequate: or upon the admiral with insullicient number of ships, but ujMin the public nun who have so lamentably failed in forethought as to refuse to remedy these evils long in advance, and upon the nation that stands behind those public men. TRAITORS AT HOME. "So, at the present hour, no small share of the responsibility for tho bloodshed in the Philippines, the blood of our brothers and the blood of their wild and ignorant foes, lies at the thresholds of those who so long delayed the adoption of the treaty of peace, and of those; who, by their worse than foolish words, deliberately invited a savage people to plunge into a war fraught with sure disaster for them; a war, too. in which our own brave men who follow the flag must pay with their blood for the silly, mock-humanl-tariaiiism of the prattlers who sit at home in peace. "The army and the navy are the sword and the shield which this Nation must carry. If she Is to do her eluty among the nations of the earth, if she Is not to stand merely as the China of the Western hemisphere. Our proper conduct toward the tropic islands we hive wrested from Spain is merely th form which our eluty has taken at the moment. Of course, we are bound to handle the affairs of our own household well. We must see that there is civic honesty, civic cleanliness, civic good sense in our home administration of city, state and ration. We must etrivc for honesty In office, for honesty towards tho creditors of tho

Nation and of the Individual: for the widest freedom of individual initiative where it is not hostile to the welfare of the many. Hut because we set our own household in order, we are not thereby excused from elolng our duty to the state; for. if we fail in this second duty It Is under the penalty of ceasing to be freemen. In the same way, while a nation's first duty is within its own borders, it is not thereby absolvent from facing its duties In the world as a whole; and if it refuses to do so, it merely forfeits its right to struggle for a place among the peoples that shape the destiny of mankind. "In the West Indies and the Philippines alike we are confronted by most difficult problems. It is cowardly "to shrink from solving them in the proper way; for solved they must be, if not by us. then by some stronger and more manful race: if we are tco weak, too selfish or too foolish to solve them, some bolder and abler people must undertake the solution. Personally, I am far too firm a believer In the greatness of my country and the power of my countrymen to admit for one moment that we shall ever be driven to the ignoble alternative. "The problems are different for the different Islands. I'orto Kico is not large enough to stand alone. We must govern It wisely and well, primarily in the interest of Its owrj people. Cuba is, in my judgment, entitled ultimately to settle for itself whether It shall bo an independent state or an integral portion of the miehtiest of republics. Hut until order and stable liberty are secured, wo must remain in the island to insure them, and infinite tact, judgment, moderation and courage must be shown by our military and civil representatives in keeping tho Island pacified, in relentlessly stamping out brigandage, in protecting all alike, and yet In showing proper recognition to the men who fought for (''uban liberty. "The Philippines offer a yet graver problem. Thejr population includes half-caste and' native Christians, warlike Moslems, nel wllJ pagans. Many of their people are utterly unfit for self-government and shew no signs of becoming fit. Others may in time become lit. but at present can only take part in self-government under a wise supervision at once firm and beneficent. We have driven Spanish tyranny from the islands. If we now let it be replaced by a savage' anarchy, our work has Uen for barm and not for good. I have, scant patience with those who fear to undertake the task of governing the Philippines;, and who oienly avow that they do fear to undertake it. or that they shrink from it because of the expense and trouble, but I have even scanter patience with those who make a pretense of humanitarianism to hide and cover their timidity, ami who cant about liberty and the consent of the governed In order to excuse themselves for their unwillingness to play the part of men. Their doctrines If carried out would make It incumbent upon us to leave the Apaches of Arizona to work out their own salvation and to decline to Interfere in a single Indian reservation. Their doctrines condemn your forefathers nnd mine for ever having settled in these United States. IF WH DO OUR DUTY ARIGHT. "England's rule in India and Egypt has been of great benefit to England, for it has trained up generations of men accustomed to look at the larger and loftier side of public life. It has been of even greater beneiit to India nnd Egypt. And finally, and most of all, it has advanced the cause of civilization. So, if we do our duty aright In the Philippines we will add to that national renown which is the highest and finest part of national life; will greatly benefit the people of the Philippine islands, and, above all. wo will play our part well in the preat work of uplifting mankind. Hut to do this work, keep ever in mlnel that we must show in a very high decree the qualities of courage of he;nesty and of good judgment. Resistance must be stamped out. The first and all-important work to be elone Is to establish tho supremacy of our flag. We must put down armed resistance before we can accomplish anything else, and there should be no parleying, no paltering in dealing with our foe. As for those in our own country who encourage the foe we can afford contemptuously to disregard them, but It must be remembered that their utterances are saved from being treasonable merely from the fact that they are despicable. "When once, we have put down armed resistance, when once our rule Is acknowledged, then an even more difficult task will )egin, for then we must see to It that the islands are administered with absolute .honesty and with good judgment. If we let the public service of the islands be turned Into the prey of the spoils politician we shall have begun to tread the path which Spain trod to her own destruction. We must send out there only good and able men. chosen for their fitness and not because of their partisan service, and these men must not only administer Impartial justice to the natives and serve their own government with honesty and fidelity, but must show the utmost tact and firmness, remembering that with such people as those with whom we are to deal, weakness is the greatest of crimes, and that next to weakness comes lack of consideration for their principles and prejudices. "I preach to you, then, my countrymen. that our country calls not for the life of ease, but for the life of strenuous endeavor. The twentieth century looms before us big with the fate of many nations. If we stand idly by. If we seek merely swollen, slothful ease, and Ignoble peace, if we shrink from the hard contests where men must win at hazard of their lives end at the risk of ail they hold dear, then the bolder and stronger peoples will pass us bv and will win for themselves the domination of the world. Let us, therefore, boldly face the life of strife, resolute to do our duty well and manfully; resolute to uphold righteousness by eleed and by word: resolute to be both honest and brave, to serve high Ideals, yet to use practical methods. Above all. let us shrink from no strife, moral or physical, within or without the Nation, provided we are certain that the strife is justified, for it is only through strife, through hard and dangerous endeavor that we shall ultimately win the goal of true national greatness," oTiicu Animiissr.s.

Remark of Gen. Itlnck, Col. Settle ami Cfinrlen llmory Smitli. Before Governor Roosevelt delivered his address Gen. John C. Black, of Chicago, spoko on "Grant" and eulogized tho great commander in a warm and happy manner. Said he: "A very human man; of many weaknesses, of wide experience, of many fortunes, trying all depths and all heights; fitter by his very frailties for his great task, for thereby he knew his fellow-men; of tender heart, yet of adamantine will that ruled the heart; docile in council, yet inexorable in execution; of clean speech and spotless fidelity; Ion? silent to the public, j-et gifted in converse with his friends; a merciless foe, a gentle coniucror, his fame will grow as more and more we realize the tremendous era in which he worked and In which he was, with one exception, the greatest actor. Commander, conqueror, preserver, protector, President, Grant." His remarks were greeted with much applause. Congressman Evan Settle, of Kentuckj', followed with an address upon "Lee." The app!ause which had greeted the remarks of General Rlack found its counterpart in the cheers that met the Kentuckian's praise of the great Southern leader. Charles Emory Smith, of Philadelphia, closeel the addresses relating to the civil war by an address on "The Union." His remarks were met with the greatest applause, and his sentiment that tho flag that Hew over the men who followed Grant now Hew alike for those who marched with Lee and would continue to Hy for Loth called forth cheers of approval. He said in part : "You have blended the names of Grant and Jac in the tributes of this evening. The greatness and the magnamimity of the erne and itho valor and endurance of the other are the common heritage of the American people. Separated for a lime by divided sentiment ami allegiance, we are one to-day In loyalty, in conviction and in patriotic purpose. The great chieftains, illustrious products of the same national school at West Point, met at ApiKmattox with mutual respect and honor, and in their generous and chivalrous coming together typified the spirit of a reunited country- That historic hour dates a new Union, which Is now a true union of hearts and of hands that none can sever. SEALED IN PRECIOUS BLOOD. "Four days ago I stood a deeply moved witness as Its consecration was scaled in precious blood and sacred dust. The war of the past year has been full of revelations of nobleness as well as of success. Never before did a triumphant nation send the living soldiers of its vanquished foe back to their homes at its own co-t. Never before did a nation undertake to bring all of Its own heroin dead, even its unidentified defender?, back from fielels beyond the sea to bo buried on their own soil. The scene at Arlington last Thursday, on the picturesque heights overlooking the national capital, was as unprecedented as it was impressive. There' were the s-rrkd lines of op n graves and waiting caskets. .aeh draped with the American Hag. There were o.o mourners, for all the peop!e were mourners, watching with reverent mien under the bright sunlight. There were the President and his asI loclates standing in the solemn presence 1 with uncovered head. The prayer was said,

the requ'.em was sounded, the last salute was Hrcd and the fallen .heroes of the Nation, equally of the North and the South, the first thus jointly honored since the civil war. were laid to rest side by side in the great national cemetery, to be cherished with a nation's devoted care. 'This is a suggestive hour. It links the past, the present and the future. Yesterday was the thirty-fourth anniversary of

, Appomattox. To-morrow will be the first anniversary of the I'resident's memorable message on Cuba, which opene-d a new chapter of history. Within tn days will come the anniversary of the declaration of war. That war was so marvelous in Its triumphs and so swift in its momentous and farreaching in its conclusions, we have lived so fast and so much, we have entered upon such new and mighty questions, that we can hardly realize it is not yet a twelvemonth since the opening gun of the conflict, thundering the quiet order of Dewey, signaled a new star of hope and promise in the East and a new giant among tho world powers. Appomattox ushered in the peaceful anel .wonderful development of thirty years which brought the Nation to a point where, in Its own progress and in the progress of the world, it must enter upon a wider sphere, and the inescapable duty of last year became the unsought but unavoidable means, under an overruling providence, of realizing that national necessity. A NATIONAL DUTY. "The obligations and the mandate of that national duty cannot be disputed. Two weeks ago I stood under the sunny sky of Cuba. I saw some of the villages of palmthatched huts where, under the cruel order of concentration, thousands of hapless Cubans were herded, like sheep for the slaughter, to die of disease and starvation. It was a deliberate holocaust of extermination. Two hundred thousand human beings were literally starved to death. If our government had not Interfered when it did half a million men, women and children would have perished and their blood woidd have been on our skirts. When the President summoned Spain to withdraw he left open the pathway of peace with justice. But when Spain blindly refused, a command greater than national ease, a duty higher than any material interests, a voice from God and from man left no course but to enforce tho withdrawal and tho rescue of a doomed people. The atrocities of Bulgaria roused tho eloejuent voice of Gladstone, stirred the stout heart of England and recast the map of the Balkans. Tho later horrors of Armenia found Europe, divided and balanced with jealousies, and she stood dumb and palsied in the presence of that avful massacre. But the gTeat Republic could not remain silent or Impotent with the hideous wrongs of Cuba at our own doors. We should have been false to humanity and recreant to civilization had we failed to stretch forth our saving arm. Tho cool, dispassionate verdict ejf history will pronounce it the most obligatory and the most righteous of wars, as it was the most faultless in Its direction and the most astonishing and overwhelming in Its success. "Granted the war, where could we have stopped short of where we now stand? Point, who can, to a single step taken tnus far which was not the inevitable sequence, the irresistible conclusion of the first decision. Less or different we might have done and plunged into mistake and disaster. More wc might have done and violated faith and produced divisions. But review the events of tho year in the light of after wisdom and tell me. who can, what movement of war or negotiation of peace, what term of settlement or act of government was not Just what right, reason, duty and safety dictated. Could we have done more or less in Cuba? Who criticises the disposition of Porto HIco? Where could we have halted in the Philippines? "We went to the Philippines under the necessity of war, but we stay because we are responsible to mankind for peace and order and security. We have taken the foundling of nations on our doorstep and we cannot heartlessly thrust it away. There may be need of heroic treatment, but better a little heroic treatment at the outset than anarchy and self-destruction. We are there with healing and blewlng. We are there with the Bible and civilization. AVe are there with the promise of peace and ftrogress, of trade and commerce, of enIghtenment and prosperity, and does any man doubt that American influence will be beneficial and elevating? HELD IN TRUST. "The President holds these Islands in trust for the American people until they can determine the future. He will give them good government. He has sent, and will send the best men, and there are Americans as capable of governing a distant and oriental people as the English or the Dutch. He will inspire confidence and encourage the development of their resources. He will not hold them as spoils. Nor Is there anything in the Imaginary difficulties of the objectors. For the expense, swollen in tho eye of fancy to hundreds of millions, for the flgureB thus far make it reasonably clear that the revenues of all the Islands, east and west, adjusted and administered for their own welfare and not for any exploitation, will fairly pay the cost, of their governments. Not thfe army, pictured at hundreds of thousands, for it has been fixed at the standard of peace and it is enough. Not the navy, for no greater navy will be required thaji would be needed In any event to protect our expanding commercial interests. Not anj dangerous complications, for our rights are respected by the world and we shall not invade the rights of others. "For one T am content to go to the progressive and patriotic American people with the question and leave it in their hands. The!r instincts and their genius will settle It. We cannot undo the past. The responsibilities remain with the achievements and the glories. The American people have never shrunk from the obligations which have come to them in the unparalleled advance of the Republic. There have been doubters and opponents at every stage, but the Nation has moved steadily onward.

WANT REBATES ON GAS

FORT WAYM-2 OBJECTS TO PAYING FOR MORE THAN IT GETS. Murder Trial of Freddie Olnnd, Accnteed of Killing Four-Year-Old Iloy nt Muncic State Xew. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE, Ind., April lO.-Tfce largest mass meeting of Fort Wayne citizens ever held met to-night on call of the Council to get an expression as to the renewal of the franchise to the gas company, that comes up in June. Much indignation was expressed by the citizens by reason of the failure to fwnish sufficient gas last winter. There Is no question that the supply is rapidly decreasing, and the company frankly admits it cannot give Fort Wayne an adequate supply next winter. A committee of ten citizens was appointed to confer jointly with the Council and gas company as to tho new franchise. These will recommend a lower rate and It is doubtful If the company will undertake to furnish it for less than now. The citizens committee will insist on rebates when gas is not furnished. . GAS-BELT BLOWERS KICK. Indiana GImha Yorker Trenled Unfairly by rrenldent Hayes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., April 10. It Is rumored that trouble may be expected in a short time throughout the gas belt between the members of the Green Glass Blowers' Union and the officers of that association. A few days ago, for somo reason, Dennis Hayes, president of tho union, issued an order that all nonunion men of Swayzec, Redkey and Greenfield, who have been interested in the strike at those places, bo taken Into the union and the strike bo declared off. The order was obeyed, and John Boesler, chairman of the executive committee of tho union, has been engaged in the past few days at Upland in taking tho men into the union. As soon as this was done it relieved the union from any longer giving the men benefit money, which they have all been drawing since the strikes were inaugurated. It is impossible for the men to get places, and tho result Is that they are row out of work and have no money on which to live The cause of President Hayes's older is said to be on account that he intends instituting a big strike at Bridgeport, N. J., within tho next few days, and he desires to exert all his influence in that part of tho country, and, consequently, will have no time to devote to the gas-belt troubles. He also Intends, so it is rumored, to assess each member of the union throughout the country a certain extra per cent, of his wages to assist in keeping up the work in the East. This, it is saiei, the members throughout the gas belt are objecting to. Their 1c.as.0n is because of President Hayes calling off the gas belt strikes. By calling off such strikes it has surrendered three factories back into the hands of nonunion men after having been nearly successful In unionizing them. Also, since the strikes were Inaugurated about three months ago, over one hundred nonunion men have been taken into the union and consequently the trade in the gas telt is oversupplied with blowers. There is said to be much indignation among the union men at the turn things have taken and it is doubtful if they will consent to an assessment for the New Jersey troubles. There are about twenty-five or thirty nonunion factories at Bridgeport, N. J., and only three of them have so far consented to be unionized. There arc about 3.OU0 nonunion men in that place who want union cards. The factory at Swayzee is now operating threo machines with fairly good results. The factory at Redkey is working nonunion men in their shops, and the Greenfield factory Is running with nearly a full force again with nonunion men. It is said that two of the men who were given cards a few days ago have already abandoned the union on account of the turn taken by President Hayes, and have gone to work in the nonunion factory at Redkey. The Strike Is On. BR 1 1X3 ETON, N. J., April 10. One thousand glass workers, half of the blowers, struck to-day for union wages and recognition of the union. The Cumberland and the Moore-Jones companies are working part of their bottle factories. It is reported that the Cumberland company has procured cots to fit up a building for workmen who will be brought here. All the employes of the Star glass works, at Medford, N. J., went on strike to-day. FIIEDDIE OLAXD'S TRIAL. 3Iuncle liny Charged with the Murder of Buliy Ilodenmlller. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUXCIE. Ind., April 10. The trial of Freddie Oland, charged with the murder of four-year-old Andy Bodenmiller, began today. Tho boy came Into court early this morning and sat with his parents. He was neatly attired and for a time watched the proceedings with great Interest, but as the day advanced he seemed to tire and sat back apparently indifferent to what was going on. The parents of the boy who was killed sat all day with the state's attorneys and when tho opening statement was made both wept freely. The first witness was Captain Turner, of the police force, and when he had proceeded as far with his testimony as an alleged confession made by Oland. the defense objected to the introduction of this evidence on the ground that any confession mado had been extorted under duress. The Jury was excused and the court proceeded to examine witnesses on this phase of the case. The witnesses Introduced testified to statements made just after the boy was arrested and the evidence as adduced was very contradictory. The boy was put on the stand and testified as to what he had told, admitting that he had confessed to the killing, but said he did so when excited and absolutely unaccountable. He is a bright boy and the efforts of the state's attorneys to make him contradict his direct examination were unavailing. The rotate Introduced Superintendent of Police Cashmore, who denied that the boy was nervous or excited at the time of the confession. Dr. J. F. Halton said when he talked to Oland the loy was nervous anol very much excited. The state will Introduce three more witnesses oil this point in the morning. The crime with which young Oland Is charged was committed last November. The body of Baby Bodenmiller was found in a sand pit in Whiteley beneath a soap box, after an all-night search In which hundreds of residents of Muncie and WhlteJey participated. There was a bullet wound in the left temple. The charge was made against young Oland by two boy companions and after his arrest he made a partial confession, which he afterwards denied. Later he was given a preliminary hearing and after remaining in jail for several days was released on bond. Since his release Freddie has been attending school and thinks he will be set free. 11 (il IT (it A It I) DUTY. Colonel Guilder's Men Ilnve Hardly KnooRli to Ilo to Keep Annke.
