The poem is dUided Info four parts, entitled "David Kizzio," ''Ixthwell," "Jane Gordon" (Both well's divorced wife), and "John Knox." There art several exquisitely finished ballads one in French, a tongue in which Swinburne is b is much a masfer of melody as in his own scattered through the play. - ' SAVING THE BABY. AOAI.LAXT DEED WHAT A KSIQHT OP THE FOOTBOARD DID. The Burlington Hawkeye gives this episode in railroad experience: J. B. Evans, Jack Evans, as he is better known among tho loys," is a yonng man about twenty eight yaars old, and certainly not over thirty, and a great favorite among his associate, a clever, generous-hearted man. In bis eventful lifo, before he adopted railroading for a bo sines-, bo traveled with "the circus," and was a star performer on the flying trapeze.'-Mr. 'Evans quit "starring," throw up all his engagements, and took an engine, but the physical prowess acquired in his atlieletic exercises did not desert him, and his skill remained with him. But the greatest and noblest feat our hero ever per formed in bis life was one that wasn't down on the bills, and called out very unexpectedly at a little matinee Friday afternoon. Kvavs, who is In the employ.o the C. B. t Q. railway, was running an extra, we believe, on the Red Oak branch. When about a quarter of a mile east of Farragut, the train then running at the rate of twenty miles per bcur, the engineer, saw, hardly seventy yards of him, a little child about eighteen month old. playing in tbe middle of tho track. Quicker as thought he squealed for brakes, and without ever touching tbe throttle, leaving it wide open, hese.ir.ed the lever and threw it clear over, reversing his engine with a full bead ot steam on. But tbe heavy freight train had acquired a powerful momentum that could not be overcome, and bv the time, short as it was, that Evans couli hurry around and take his Btation by the pilot, tbe engine was

fright tuliy near the cmld.who, apparently ÜNCONSCIOt S OF DANOER, remained where It waa when first discov ered. Evans saw there was no chance of bis stooping to seize the child as the train swept down upon it, from his place on the pilot, and now his old athletic accomplish ments and training, seconded by bis steady nerve and Coolness, and tbe ability so char acteristic of engine men to think rapidly atid cleat ly in moments of great danger, came in good play. Measuring bis distance as carefully and accurately aa ever he bad when tr.aking a mid-air leap from a flying trapez, be summoned all his strength, and making a strlendid leap, caught tbe child in bis arms, and withoui- attempting to regain bis feet, threw himself over the fail with the agility Of a cat. It was a close call. Before he had quite cleared tbe track, the pilot struck his toot, but he rolled aafely out of the way for several yards, still holding the child in hia arms. Tbe rate at which the train was runnine may be judged when it is known that it moved five car lengths past where Evans was lying belore it could be stepped. The mother o! tbe cbild. who witnessed the affair. ws on the spot In a flash, trembling, weeping and almost speechless with exciterient. ' Jack rose to bis feet and handed ner the baby as coolly as though he had just taken it out of its cradle. "Madam," he said. 'you had better take better care of that yoamr one hereafter." And be climbed into bis can ana went aneaa, more unconcerned and less excited than any of the gentlemen aft, serving their country by twisting brakes. A PIOUS SCOUNDREL. A DEVOCT KKWTUCKIAI ARRESTED FOR MUR DER AND BIQAMT AN OLD COOS CAUGHT. The St. Louis Democrat of the 31st gives his interesting bit of current biographv: About a year ago Bridgeton received an addition to its population in the person of Marion Fhejps, who migrated to tnat pi ace from Clay county. He brought with him a yonng woman, whom be introduced as his wile, v eryirienaiy relations sprang up oetween him and tbe people of that village He soon became a leading man in the Methodist church, and durlntr the past win ter bas been preaching and lecturing with great acceptance to. tho. people of that vicinity. Yesterday morning sergeants Joyce and Fox arrived in the city with Phelps, having arresttd him on an indict ment for murder. Tbe case nas been stated substantially as follows: Some eighteen months ago Phelps and a man named Joseph Stivers were Indicted, one for stabbing and the other ior shooting a man. lhey were released on bail, when they determined to leave the country, but being short of funds concocted a desperate scheme for re enibrcinir their fioanoes. Slivers had been associated with United States- deputy marshals in search for illicit distilleries, having frequently . SERVED THEM AS A 8FT. Under pretense of being deputy marsh al, Phelps and his accomplice arrested Taylor Colderon, a peddler, who, they thought, had acquired a small fortune by L disposing of liquors secretly and without license. Their plan was to scare' him- so that be wonld be glad to share hia profitswith them, and then to leave tbe country with tbe funds thus acquired. Their - prisoner, however, made his escape soon after being arrested, but following him up the next day, they canght kigbt of him, and - shot., hinx. down . as jie rau. Each of the dcporadoes blamed the other with having fired the fatal shot, and both immediately fled.' Phelps left wife and seven children in Kentacky, and brought with him to this state a cousin' bl ,; his accomplice, . . a girl azed 18 years.' with-'wbom he has lived over sloco, - The arrest was effected about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, on Mr. Post's farm. 16 miles out on the St. Charles Hock road. The prisoner was engaged in building a b-irn for a farmer in that neighbor hood, when the officers told him that he was wanted. William Parker, deputy sheriff of Clay county, Ky., came up for Phelps yesterday, bringing acquisition from Governor Leslie, and started back with his prisoner laat night. Stivers is supposed to be in Nebraska; It appears that Phelps has had namerous occupation among which might te mentioned preaching, the practice of law, the practice of medicine and tne carpenter's trade.

MODERN EMANCIPATION. JULIAN'S 8PEECH. AT THE ABOLITIONISTS RE-ÜNIOX LABOR TFIE TARIFF TTIE CVRRENCT WOMAN SUFFRAGE THE OLD PARTIES. At Wednesday's session of the abolitionist re-union, George W. Julian delivered an addrees of which extracts are here given: The anti-slavery veterans Assembled here to-day have a greater task to perform than that of rehearsing thedceds of other days and Indulging In grateful recollections. African slavery bs been abolished, and so tar. the past la secure; but other vital questions are to be met, and other great reforms are to be accomplished. American patriotism and philanthropy, have at this moment as wide a field for their operations as at any previous lime in our history, and the promise of as rich a harvest of results to those who labor In faith. What arc tbe lessons of the anti slavery conflict? What moral do they present, in facing the solemn duties and responsibilities of tbe present and the future? What light do they throw upon the pathway of progress, and what resolves should they kindle in the hearts of men who have borne tbe banner of reform to a world-U-mons ictorv, and are soon to hand it over to their children? My friends, we shall fail in a great duty If we are not prompted by this occasion seriously to ponder these questions. The most important and Impressive general lesson of tbe abolition movement is the almightiness of truth. No man can overes' i ui ate the value of this lesson as a perennial fountain of courage and inspiration in every field of reform The anti-slavery cause "was sown in weakness. "Not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble," gave it their countenance. Its early champions were generally obscure, simple-minded, simple-hearted men and women, whose love of justice was a passion so unquenchable, and whose hearts were so moved by tbe great currents of human sympathy, that the world branded them as fanatics. 1 bey were compelled to face mobs, violence, persecution, and death, and were always misunderstood or misrepresented; but they never faltered. Reputation, honors, property, worldly ease, were all freely laid upon the altar, in their resolve to vindicate the rights of man and the freedom of speech To follow these apostles and martyrs wai to fursake all the prize of worldly life which prudence or ambition conld value or covet. It was tu ; take up the heaviest cross yet fashioned by this century as the test of christian character and heroism. And yet they succeeded. They were tbe educators of the nation, the prophecies of its deliverance, lhey succeeded because tbe failure of men thus devoted to a great and holy cause was morally impossible. They broke In pieces great political and ecclesiastical organizations. They compelled the better type ot men of all parties to join them, or defer to their wishes. They forced the slaveholder himself to become a powerful ally, by driving him into extreme measures of DEFENSE OR AGGRESSION. They gradually lifted the church out of the foul slough of politics and compromise, and put it on its good behavior. Even dough faces were sometimes harnessed to the car of freedom and compelled to do service. When civil war came these abolitionists ntterly refused to allow the conscience of the quarrel tobe put out of sight. They demanded the abrogation of all laws which gave slavery support. They demanded the arming of the negroes as soldiers, and that slavery, as the guilty cause of tbe war, and tbe grand ob stacle to peace, should be the constant point of attack. And the moral power which they wielded compelled the government to comply with these demands, and thus to sweep tbe cause forever from the land. What a pregnant lesson tor the reformer in tbe generations to come! How it rebukes the coward and time-server, and pleads with onr jouns men to plant their feet on the rock of principle! Where now are the heaps ot lower law sermons and ghastly metaphyici that loaded down tbe mail, twenty odd years ago? They have been hissed frornth civilized world. Where are the doctors of divinity who gave themselves np to the graceless work of defending slaver? as a divine institution? Thev are mercifully forgotten, or remembered only to be despised. Where are the public men who in years eone by bent their craven backs under the slaveholder's lash, and flourished for a season as ringleaders of tbe tribe of doughfaces? They have gone to judgment, and their names are not lit to be spoken And William Lloyd Garrison, who in 1831 had a nrloe nut upon his bead by the state of ueorgia, ana in ioo-j, wnu a rupv iiuuuu uit . f i i . i to i l. n neck, was chased through the streets ot ' Boston bv a mob of " five thou sand eentlemen of property and standi ncr." ia now honored bv the world as the finest specimen of a sturdy .moral hero which the country bas produced: while no name In onr history, not even that of tbe father ot his country, will be so honored in the acres to come, or so reverently . spoken, as that of Charles Sumner. Thank God for the legacy of such lives! They lend a new edge and gilding to virtue. They give us a new baptism of faith in humanity. They ponr a fresh t!de of life into the moral drear iness of our politics, and urge us to more constant and courageous endeavors in the work of reform. Tbey are the beautiful embroidery of truth, courage, and manli ness. Must a man wear the collar or a par ticular master before be can be counted i slave? Is not tbe principle of slavery in volved in all conditions of extreme depend ence? The slave of society, of BAD LAWS AND INHUMAN CUSTOMS, may have no better master than the slave of the plantation. I trust I need not argue this point before an audience of anti-slavery men. You know that our laws of property were originally founded on conquest and violence, and that they still bear the marks of their beeinninsr. You know that the true mission of government is the protec tion of the weak against the powerful, and that Instead of taking pains to temper the

Inequalities which exist in tbe conditions of men, it bas taken pains to aggravate them. You know that instead ot favoring the diffusion or wealth, it bas constantly favored ita concentration. You know that instead of taking care of the weak, it baa all tbe time given ita help to the strong. And you know that, in some form, and by some methods, the current of legislation must be reversed, if the principle of slavery is to be expelled by the principle of democracy. To this herculean, task, we are summoned by tbe lesson ot negro emancipation; and iu this grand struggle for the liberation of labor the abolitionists are the natural leaders. They fought northern slavery while it Lasted, on Mr Lincoln's policy of "one .war at a time;" but in the beginning they were tbe avowed enemies of every form of inequality and oppression.' They were tbe first ts espouse the homestead policy. They saw that freedom must have Its roots in the soli, and that a government which allows the land to become tbe patrimony of tbe few cannot be democratic. They saw that the system of chattel slavery res ed ..on great estates, and that if the New Eng and system of land.' holding had prevailed . in the south, ' slavery would hive been impossible. They regarded land monopoly as tbe vi ry citadel of slavery, and they denounced tbe whole policy of speculation in the public lands as tbe legalized plunder of the poor. Let them again unfurl the old banner of land reform, for although the homeVead bill finally became a law, yet simultaneously with its enactment, and as it to nullify Its provb-ions, the policy of landgrants to railroads was receiv-d in such extravagant and unguarded forms that over two hundred millions of acres of the pub'ic domain have fallen Into tbe grasp of great corporations, while the righ's of settlers have been still further abridged bv Indian treaties, by military ' land bounties, by swamp-land swindles, and by the still nnfoibidden curse of land speculation. In full partnership with these evils is THE ORK AT RAILWAY POWER of the country, tbe successor of the old slave power wielding a combined capital of four thousand millions of dollars, threatening tbe independence of. congress, state legislatures and courts, inviting a popular resistance commensurate with its despotic demands. The intelligent organization of the working classes for the overthrow of this fearful system of commercial and industrial serfdom should be the wish and tbe endeavor of every man who would save the republic. The tariff question should also be met and settled on the ground of principle. AI! compromises will fail in the fu'.ure. as they have acne In tbe past. They are as unmanly as they are unprofitable. The early' abolitionists were generally the advocates of free-trade. They considered it apart of the gospel of human brotherhood. While slavery lasted It was a wide isue, but there is no longer any excuse for evading it. The qufstlon Is a vital one to every interest of tbe country. . Our tariff system for tbe past ten or twelve years has been a system ot organized spoliation. It is a form of slavery, masquerading under the disguise of pretended benefit to the masses whom it robs, .lt .beaps grievous burdens upon the poor, In order that pampered monopolies may flourish. It taxes the articles of prime necessity to the laboring classes, and places the luxuries of the rich on the free list. It constitutes a most formidable faction in the legslized slavery of capital which

now demands abolition, while our system of internal taxes is almost equally vicious. It should be thoroughly reformed in the inter est of equality, including the taxation ot church property, the exemption of which is a clear violation or tbe spirit of our institutions and at war with tbe plainest principles of justice. The financial policy embodies kindred elements of iniquity and oppression uur national Dank monopoly, with Its 2.000 fiscal corporations and nearly uve hundred millions of capital, cannot be defended. It not only constitutes a ruinous political dan ger, but a great and Inexcusable burden upon the people In the interest of a favored fw. The policy of the eovernment is cüezng to AN INCONVERTIBLE PAPER CURRENCY is not only a defiance of the experience of mankind and the teachings of political economy, but a practical robbing of tbe working-classes by withholding from them fair day's wages for a fair day's work, which "is as just a demand as governed men ever made of governing." The overthrow of this policy, by just and prudent methods. must be sought by every man who would wage war against the new forms of slavery which are every where insidiously intrenching themselves behind the power of com bined capital; and barring the door against tbe principle of equal rights, legislation for man primarily, and for property secondarily. should be our motto and watchword. till capital shall be content to take its place as tbe servant and not tbe mister of the people. This is at once the impelling' demand of labor and the real problem of our coming statesmanship Such legislation will also vitally affect other great causes. It will be the strong ally of the temperance reform. It will strike at intemperance by lifting humanity above the thraldom of untoward conditions. It is undoubUdly true, as we are often told, that a large per cent, of tbe crimes of society can bo traced to intemperance; but it is fust as tru that a large per cent, of the intemperance of society can be traced to property. We can only destroy a vice by getting down to Its roots. Whoever does most for tbe breaking up ot monopolies, tor the cur tailment ot tbe power of great cor porate wealth, for repairing our land policy and facilitating tbe ac quisition ot towns and for tbe comfort and general elevation oi tne poor ana irienaiess, does most for the cause of temperance. And I believe tbe best prohititory legislation now attainable is that which shall most effectually strive tor these ends. Society itself is largely responsible forthecrimesand drunkenness of its members, and both will diminish in thedggreo in which our laws and pol icy respect tne sacreaness or humanity by earnestly seeking the rights and true welfare of all. Another .lesson of the anti-slavery struggle is the duty of still further extending the right of suffrage. When we broke tbe chains of tbe slave and transformed bina into a citizen, we armed him with ... THS BALLOT. v Ths situation in which be was placed obliged us to do this for his own Immediate protec tion, but independent of the necessity, be bad the right to a voice in the government which demanded his 'obedience. To have denied him this right would have been a wanton insult to his humanity and a glaring mockery or political decency, 'the expert ment of negro suffrage, I admit, ' bas not been a remarkable success. It has disap pointed the expectations of its sanguine friends, and fort to iU given a gooa aeai oi com enemies. But the trial has only tbe most been- partial,' and " under unpromifing circumstancps. It will finally succeed; and, ' whether wisely or unwisely conferred, the negro has tbe ballot, aud it will not be takeu from him. The logic of emancipation compelled it, and the vf al principle of democracy vindicates It : while be is quite aa fit for suffraire as tbe white ruffians snd - vagabonds' -with whom he is associated,-ft rfd 'wh.tfse; weight has dragged him 'öwm1 Democracy' Is tbe inevitable destiny of theu republic, whether we individually like It'W'Wike St.J It 'is our only political' salvation,' because' .we have gone too far on the road for any possible retreat. We Are, it is true, only midway In onr journey, but the momentum acquired in reaching our present position will carry-

us to , th end. ; Tho . ballot fcr woman is the grand lesson, aa rt wHl be the ripe lru.it '.of tbe 'hardlyearned victory for, the slave. Like - other great issues It had to bide ita time; but it was publicly agitated Z5 years ago by tbe . men and women who vere then foremost in tbe battle for the negro. Slavery was then the previous question, but the rights of woman are now in order. , She Is not only tbe victim of an aristocracy of wealth, but an aristocracy of sex alco. , She needs emancipation frmboth. 'Abolish the cruel domination of capital which oppresses, the working classes Ot both sexes, and bears hardest on woman, and abe still needs the ballot to lift her to tbe common level. She needs it as the gateway to opportunity, and the defense of her rights. Tbe basest men can use it in furthering' their purposes: the noblest and best i : 5 . .- : . WO MR ARK DENIED IT.'" " , An intelligent human being, Subject to tbe government nod or which he lives, answerable to It In his person and property for disobedience and yet denied any political rights, is a slave. Allow me to refer to one further lesson of the an tl slavery wnflict. and that is the duty of renouncing the authority of political parties when they cease to stand for a living principle, and are banded together for mere power or plunder. This lesson is invaluable. Strange as it may appear, the emancipation of men from such a bondage is one of the hardest tasks in the wholo field of reform. The abolitionists hur

shown the world how to perform it, and with what magnificent results. When they began their grand work, the country was divided, as it Is to-day, into two hos tile camps. The questions In dispute were not vital, bot related simply to matters of administrative policy, while on the portentous and overshadowing question f slavery both espoused the side of tbe J oppressor. As the issues which divided them gradually faded away and ceased tobe tbe pivots of controversy, leaving nothing In dispute but tho spoils'of office, their de-! votfon to slavery waxed stronger and stronger, while party discipline was kpt alive in its nt most vigor by the mere force of habit and the memory ot past conflicts. Against such a party devil-worship, tbe abolitionists waged war. Thev declared their political Independence, and called on tbese organizations, in the name of humanity, to disband. The political parties and tbe churches of the laud were alike branded as the bulwarks of slavery, and In return these iconoclasts encountered a perfect torrent of rancorous personal abuse and political defamation, wbicb has seldom been equaled and never surpassed in the annals of party warfare. But tbey were undaunted. The abolitionists who believed In political action organiz-d a party. They nominated candidates. Their followers were exceedingly small, but as they were sure they were right, they never doubted as to the final result. : They were them nelves partizans but their partv waa the servant of their cause and Lot the master of their own liberty. When tbe famous antislavery uprising of 184 opened the way for large accessions to their numbers, tbey dis banded their little orgauization, surrendered its name, and fell Into line with the free-soil movement. They were the soul of THIS NEW COMRINATION, but they did not idolize it; They did not confound it with the great end, lor the attainment of which they employed it pimply as a means. To them it was only a mildstone of progress. It was the forerunner of a larger movement which they confidently predicted; and when, therefore, the subsequent repeal of the Missouri restriction prepared still greater multitudes to rally under the banner of freedom, tbese aboliiionists were ready to dou the party name under which tbey had battled tor years, and merge themselves in a still more 'formidable combination, under the tame of the rCDUDlican party. And they wei e its spirit and its life; but tbey never were ita slaves. - Why should anv triend of hia country entertain the thought of putting the Dew cloth of reform into these old garments? And bow can be do so withont forgetting tbe example of the anti-slavery fathers, whoso- warfare began in their revolt against the slavery of tbe caucus? More than a quarter of a century ago, when Sumner saw that the old whig party was morally lost, be walked oot of it. "The slave of principle," said be, "I call no party master;" aad the people to-day honor him without measure for tbe act which they than condemned. But when, in his old age, be walked, out of the party ot which be was chief among its fathers and founders, and for tbe glory of which be had done more than any man in the nation, because be believed that it, too, was morally lost, sorrowfully parting; with the friends of a lifetime with whom he had stood in peace and in war. and whose love was now turned into bate and scorn, he did an act so divinely heroic that in the light ot it the luster of all the other grand deeds of his grand life seems dim. For this act of sub lime self-renunciation, this beautifut il lustration of tbe truth that tbe duties of lite are more than life, he was bunted as a polit ical outlaw by the vultures and jackals of tho party tyranny which bis conscience com manded bim to rebuke. Has that tyranny any claims upon the forbearance of any true many lias tbe rival tyranny, which is equally bent upon prolonging its equally unprofitable life? In dealing with tbese organizad iniquities shall I speak with bated breath? Shall I mince tbe honest truth. "and mollify damnation with a phrase?" I certainly would not unnecessarily wound tne feelings or offend the honest prejudices of any man or woman, but my subject de mands tbat I shall be "as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice." I am ready, therefore, to applv tbe words of an other, spoken years ago in a discussion, and welcome tbe bolt, wbetner it comes from heaven or hell, that shall shiver the old party dynasties into their original atoms. TIRED OF LIFE. WHAT IS KNOWN OF MARIE DA RON HOW SHE LEFT THR TROUBLES OF THIS LIFE. The St. Louis Republican of the 2d inst. gives the following tragic chapter of a young French girl's life: On the 11th of April last, there arrived at the French hotel and restaurant of J. B. Guilloz, 112 Walnut street, in this city, a pretty little French woman, wbo registered her name as . Marie Baron. She was from New Orleans, and represented herself as a governess who had failed to find employment for her attainments in Louisiana, in con sentience of the disturbed condi tion of society tbere.and bad come toSt. Louis in the hope of nnding encouragement and a borne, at least ior a time, cine spoke . no Ensrlisb. but she was sn expert linguist and conversed fluently In tbe Frendh,Italian and Russian languages. She dressed with the proverbial French neatness, if not elegance, was about thirty in years, short and stout in person, with Drown natr cut remarkably short and worn frizzed or curled, dark blue eves ' an aouihue nose, dimpled chin. bright, clear complexion and 'prettily moulded hands.tbat evidently had never been accustomed to labor. Such was Marie ua ron in tbelasi week ot ter life.a woman with the unmistakable bearicg and looks of a lady. ' ' FAINTING BT, THE WAYSIDE. - Madame Guilloz advised ber guest to ap ply toMr Emil Karst; thel French vice con sul, to advertise, and gaVe to her the names of some' ladies Äs lika)yf assist her in her inquiries after employment as a family gov erness. Certain -it-is-tuas-ene remained without occupation but she -conducted her self at all times, so far as tne Guillozes knew in an Irreproachable manner. She came anc went quietly, took her meals at the table

d'hote, paid her bills regularly, and was on-

exceptionable. While sbe continoM fbns idle, ner poor means . were . I'ittff Ing away, and employment ior . her accomplishments seemed to reeeds farther- and faitber, day by day, from her eager but plmost fainting grasp. About two weeks ago she made the acquaintance of a Frenchman dolus business in tbe city, aad for him she appears to have formed a" warm attachment. Whether he returned ft, or anv part of it. Is unknown; but he probability is tbat be regarded hi r as the mere plaything of the hour, to be taken on . and thrown off at will, sbe had met with no of her own people, she asked bis confidence and gave her own in return. List Mondij she paid her bill to tbe GuUloze. and in lor med tbern that sbe would leave for New York, but SHE CHANGED HER MISD. ) . " '' ' Perhaps there was a reason for it. It was her impression' tbat tbe friend that sbe had met was going to Europe, and she had Intended to follow him. ' now and with - what pecuniary resources is not known. When he discovered tbat he was not' going abe changed her mind and remained. On yesterday morning at 6:25 o'clock, Jules Leppell, foreman for Stemme & Saunders, dealers in tarpaulins oh the uih corner of the levee and Elm, unlocked the door from Commercial alley, and .went up stairs to commence the labors of the day. On entering the room trom ths third floor from the levee front and opening the windows be heard the light , ascending sounds of footsteps. He looked out of the window and saw to his horror and astonishment, the form of a woman lying close to the wall and immediately In front of the dooron tbe sidewalk below. COLFAX ON THE GRANGE. HE SPEAKS HIS SENTIMENTS A DEFINITION OF THE ORGANIZATION SOME OOOD POrNTS, The following letUv from Scboyler Colfax appears in the Sooth Bend Tribune of this week: Sooth Bend, I np., June 2, 1874. On my return home trom a speaking tour, I received your kind note, in which you slate that you are requested by tbe committee of arrangements of the patrons of husbandry ot Wabash county to invite me to address a grange picnic for IbaUceunty, - to be held near North Manchester on the 17th. I would with great pleasure accept this invitation with which I have been honored, but for an engagement' of some months standing, to speak on that very day at' a college commencement at Olivet, Mich." Entirely removed now from political position or political candidacy, I can ay, with out a misconstruction of my motives, that tbe evils which the grange organization was primarily Intended to correct or modify, were pointed out warningly by me in a Fourth of July oration two years ago, before the organization bad attained its present prominence. ' But I have always r cognized that there are railroad rights as well as railroad, wrongs, and thai this great question ' niukt be settled on the basis of right arjd justice, and upon those principles of equality which have been potential in the settlement of all tbe great questions confronting us in our s-reat hiatorv. ' Thus, whita all mrmt acknowledge their great usefulness in developing the resources ot the nation, and opening vast areas of our interior to settlement and improvement, we all see plainly ' that railroads can no more do without the ' producers than the producers can do without them. - And all should concede tbat, as railroads can only be built bv the exercise of tbe8tate's right of eminent domain, um'er clArters as public highways granted by tbe people through their legislature, they have uo more right to denounce reasonable legislative supervision than ferries or -turnpike chartered by tbe same authority. Afd if tbe miller who grinds wheat cau rightfully be limited by tbe state in his tolls, why cannot the railroad which brines the wbeat to bis mill to be ground? Tbs just ground on which all just men can unite is, that BAIL. ROADS SHOULD BK . COMMON CARRIERS for all on common grounds, and at equitable rates, without favoritism or unjust discrimination, and on the Just basis of "reasonable rates for tbe people and reasonable profits for the companies." I remember many years ago bow a distinguished English statesman was criticised for a pro position that their great railroads should run third class trains, mornings and evenings, for laborers, etc, at a penny (two cents) per mile. He , was lampooned as a demagogue and as ' a visionary theorist. But these " parliamentary trains," as they are called, were found, when at last reluctantly established,. to be not only the great accommodation for the poor tbat was claimed lor tbem, but also amongst tbe most profitable to the companies of all their trains. Two things in your organization have struck tne as specially jailicnwiiia IiFtit tha H muuiAri .f rnn w wives and daughters to membership, enhancing, doubtles, the social interest of your meetings, and . ' BECKONING WOMAN ONWARD to w'der spheres of usefulness in the commu nity ; and, secondly, tbe frank and outspoken declarations of so many of your granges as to intemperance, the enmv of tbe workingman and the bane of society. I trust your organization will never speak with an uncertain voice on this great evil of the century, tor all experience proves that. where drinking shops decrease, crime and pauperism with their consequent taxation decrease, comfort and happiness in the abodes of lb poor increase, and law and order, peace sad quiet, industry and thrift, more generally prevail. Your demands. too, for x INCREASED ECONOMT In public expenditures and greater watchful ness as to public nonies, cannot fail to do good. When you proceed from generalities to details you will find that, besides strict scrutiny as to national appropriations, you will heed quite as watchful care as to ho aie taxavisn. Gov. Hayes of Ohio, one of the best governors tbat. state ever had, proved f ears ago, in a message that attracted too ittle attention, that unrestrained local taxation was' the heaviest burden, by .lar, the taxpayer. bad to shoulder. And this is soeomDletslv within vonr mwer locallv I have great hope- of beneficent results in tbat line from your' organization.- Not being a member of your order. I am not sure tbat I understand ysur exact position as to "middlemen." If your object tri to economize as far as possible, buying with. cash from manufacturersorthelragents, at their lowest prices, instead ot on credit at higher rates. and tnus saving tne neavy percentages that tbe credit system absorbs from tbe honest poor, that is certainly laudable,- But middlemen, as a class, are as necessary In tbe operttions of trade and commerce and business, as lawyers are 1 in law, and doctors in medicine, and need a special education and adaptation to their work. If you could abolish all middlemen with their experience, you would have to educate and train up middlemen out ot your own ranks to fill their places. And, as we cannot buy dress patterns for our wives direct from tbe Manchester mills, we must recognize that agents who contract at wholesale, and taking 'all the risks of shipments and sales, i et ail goods to ns, are to a large xtent, a necessity. But no one can object to the policy of "buying and selling direct lor cash in hand, as far as it is feasible. I have not room in a letter to enlarge upon these and other points I might have discussed more at length, if able to accept your kind invitation I am respectfully and truly yours, Schuyler Colfax,
