The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY...SEPTEMBER 22, 1898. THE assertion by our feeble-minded contemporary to the effect that by publishing Mr. Head's announcement for District Attorney, couched in that gentleman's own language, as an advertisement, the GAZETTE has endorsed his candidacy, is too ridiculous to require comment, except in so far as the statement might have that effect among the weak-minded and incompetent. Mr. Head, as every one knows, has gone to some pains to advertise his candidacy over the county, both in the public prints and by means of cards and dodgers; and he employed our columns, in common with those of other papers throughout the county, to bring himself to the notice of the voters. THE GAZETTE feels especially favorable to Mr. Williams, the Republican candidate for District Attorney, whom it was our privilege to assist in nominating at the county convention; and we shall do everything honorable to insure his election by a large majority. We believe, moreover, that he will be elected by one of the largest majorities on the ticket, and our contemporary has our permission to print that fact for the edification of the weak-minded and incompetent who might be led into the belief that because we open our advertising columns to Democrats, the political complexion of this paper is changed thereby. Mr. Williams is one of the brightest young attorneys in Orange county. The reason for his nomination is not far to seek. He was nominated because he was regarded as the best-fitted man for the office before the Republican convention. He has resided in Orange county for upwards of sixteen years, and has practiced as a member of the Orange county bar during six years, in which time his practice has been flattering to a degree. He has during that time defended sixteen felony cases, and so successful was his pleading in behalf of his clients, even though made against such able district attorneys as Judge Ballard, Judge for $35,000. Its original value was $400,-000. The soil of Cuba is considered the richest and most productive in the Western Hemisphere, and hence the great desire of Americans to give it intelligent cultivation. Genuine fortunes have been made in Cuba by planting, even though the Spanish government exacted so much from the people in the way of taxes. English and American capitalists will practically own the island, as owners of estates there are being sought out and purchases of their property made. It can be pretty well assured that if Americans get settled in Cuba that they will find some way to make it more healthy and stop the ravages of yellow fever, which have for so many years been a curse to the island and a menace to the Southern States of this country. In fact some way to stop this plague is one of the fondest hopes of Americans in acquiring Cuba. Under Spanish rule it would never stop, as no effort to that end was made. When American interests are accumulated in Cuba it will not be continually hampered by a local plague that requires nothing but cleanliness to permanently stamp it out. This will be the first peaceful victory to be won over a destroying enemy. THE Fusion Populists, through E. M. Wardell, chairman of the People's Party State Central Committee, and Edward L. Hutchinson, their candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, have filed in the Supreme Court a writ of mandate, the object of which is to compel Secretary of State Brown to file the regular ticket of the party in accordance with its certificates of nominations. This action has been taken on account of the Secretary's ruling that the ticket headed by T. W. Shanahan for Governor is entitled to go on the official ballot under the designation of the "People's party." REPUBLICAN MEETING. A Large Crowd Gathers to Welcome Mr. Needham—Two Very Interesting Speeches. The Republican meeting on Saturday evening was one of the most largely attended political demonstrations ever held in Orange county. People were in and reviewed the marvelous acquisition of revenue for the carrying on our war by the Republican administration. Mr. Kyle's address was able andquent and he was frequently applauded as was Mr. Needham also. The meeting dispersed at ten o'clock. Many of the citizens came forward be presented to the candidate for press. On Sunday Messrs. Needham Kyle were entertained by Senators at his residence at Garden Grove on Monday evening they addressed of the largest meetings ever held Santa Ana, speaking at the opera- REAL ESTATE TRANSITION For The Week Ending September 19, Furnished by the Orange County Taxpany, Santa Ana.

The reason for his nomination is not far to seek. He was nominated because he was regarded as the best-fitted man for the office before the Republican convention. He has resided in Orange county for upwards of sixteen years, and has practiced as a member of the Orange county bar during six years, in which time his practice has been flattering to a degree. He has during that time defended sixteen felony cases, and so successful was his pleading in behalf of his clients, even though made against such able district attorneys as Judge Ballard, Judge Scarborough and Judge West, that only one of his large number of clients was convicted and sent to prison. That is the kind of lawyer the people desire for District Attorney. Roger Williams is quiet and unassuming, and no one would ever know from his lips the extent of the really creditable record he has made during his practice before the Orange county bar. He is making hosts of friends in his canvass, and the better he becomes acquainted among the voters of the county the more patent becomes the certainty of his election in November. The Anaheim correspondent of the Los Angeles Herald, "rubber-necking" to score a point against the Republican party, writes to that journal for its Sunday morning issue as follows: The Republicans held a camp meeting here tonight, so as to be better able to stand defeat next fall. J. C. Needham, Republican nominee for Congress, tried to revive their drooping spirits. Santa Ana Republicans came up in the regulation Southern Pacific Republican train. Cash Harvey, the "Mark Hanna of Orange county," was tendered a reception after the camp meeting. "Drooping spirits" is good. Did the correspondent ever attend a larger political meeting in Orange county? The Santa Ana delegation came over on the Santa Fe road, not on the Southern Pacific; there was no reception to Cash Harvey; nor, so far as we are able to learn, had any been in contemplation, and so far as "defeat next fall" is concerned, it does not take a prophet or the son of a prophet to foretell in what camp defeat will lie—and it won't be in the Republican camp, either. HENRY T. GAGE and General W. H. L. Barnes, of San Francisco, will speak at the Opera-house at Santa Ana on Tuesday evening next. The Republicans of this precinct and Fullerton are considering the propriety of chartering a special train to go over and return after the meeting, taking the brass band along. The train can be chartered for $50, and if fifty gentlemen will subscribe a dollar each, the train can be secured. A dollar will entitle each one to two fares, and the subscribers may take their wife, best girl or some other fellow's girl to the meeting. What say the Republicans of this and the neighboring precinct? Shall we charter the train, take the band along, and show Santa Ana how to whoop things up with a will? THE persistent attempt of the ene- REPUBLICAN MEETING. A Large Crowd Gathers to Welcome Mr. Needham—Two Very Interesting Speeches. The Republican meeting on Saturday evening was one of the most largely attended political demonstrations ever held in Orange county. People were in town from many sections of the county, Placentia, Fullerton, Buena Park and Garden Grove furnishing their quota, while at 7:45 a special train of three cars filled with the Santa Ana delegation, rolled into the Santa Fe depot, brimful of enthusiasm. The Santa Ana boys brought a uniformed fife and drum corps with them, and the crowd marched up town with the life and drum corps in the lead. The Anaheimers were out in force to receive their Santa Ana brethren, and as the train rolled in the brass band struck up a lively air. The local contingent and the band filed in after the Santa Ana hosts, and marched with them up town. Arriving at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, where the platform had been erected, the marchers broke ranks, and cheers were given for Mr. Needham, who had just come up in company of Mr. Fay, at whose residence he had been entertained. Cheers were also given for Henry T. Gage. Mr. Needham arrived in town on the 6 o'clock Southern Pacific train, in company of C. W. Kyle, who also spoke during the evening. The gentlemen were met at the depot by the Reception Committee, and driven over to Mr. Fay's residence, where they remained while in the city. The seats in front of the platform filled up rapidly, and the sidewalks were lined with people. Cannon boomed a loud salute, the band discoursed lively airs from the platform, which had been beautifully decorated with bunting and evergreens and lighted up with electric lights. Pictures of President McKinley, Henry T. Gage, and Sampson and Schley and Dewey hung from the walls. At the rear of the stand the Stars and Stripes hung festooned upon the wall. J. B. Rea called the vast throng to order, and Mr. Fay was called upon to preside. He delivered a short address in so doing. The chairman read a long list of Vice Presidents, who came forward and took seats upon the platform. The county candidates also occupied seats upon the platform. Mr. Needham was the first speaker of the evening. He began by saying that it was not his purpose, nor would it be during the campaign, to personally attack his opponent, whom he knew very well. He held that the Republican candidate for Congress should be elected upon the issues now before the public. He referred to these issues briefly, among them the tariff and railroad questions, and read as follows from the Republican State platform the plank upon the railroad question: The last Congress having unanimously passed a law providing for the collection of indebtedness due from the Central and Western Pacific railroads to the government, the Republican party favors the enforcement thereof and assures such law as the provisions thereof be promptly accepted and complied with, by such specified railroad companies, that the law be strictly enforced and on all roads and properties be foreclosed, and said roads and mortgaged property be sold according on account of the Secretary's ruling that the ticket headed by T. W. H. Shanahan for Governor is entitled to go on the official ballot under the designation of the "People's party." REPUBLICAN MEETING.

Garden Grove.Sept.21,M THE persistent attempt of the enemies of the Administration to make it appear that there is something abnormal or ominous in a Republican plurality of only 25,000 in Maine in an off year, deserves rebuke by all honest political arithmaticians. The fact is that during the past thirty years, in the elections corresponding with that of Monday week, that is to say, in the elections for Governor midway between Presidential years, only once has the Republican plurality in Maine exceeded 20,000. That once was in 1894, the momentous year of reaction against Clevelandism. The figures show how big a Republican victory has been won in 1898: Plurality 1870 ..... 2,500 1874 ..... 11,937 1878 ..... 16,115 1882 ..... 2,872 1886 ..... 12,199 1890 ..... 18,843 1894 ..... 38,978 1898 ..... 2,499 The object of hostile comparisons made exclusively with 1894 is to misrepresent the political situation in Maine, and to counterfeit signs of a reaction which does not in truth exist in that quarter. Twenty-five thousand is a tremendous Republican plurality, even for Maine. SYNDICATES and companies are now being formed to go to Cuba to engage in developing and business enterprises the moment hostilities cease. A New York paper states that in that city three syndicates have already been formed to operate in Cuba. They propose to buy plantations and start the growth of sugar cane and tobacco; manufactories are also to be started. Agents of these syndicates are preparing to leave at once. One Cuban merchant who has been living in New York for several years has just concluded the purchase of a sugar plantation in Eastern Cuba. C.W.Kyle was next introduced and delivered a forceful as well as eloquent speech, referring to the unification of the county as the result of the war with Spain, and arguing that the President's appointment of Fitzhugh Lee and Joe Wheeler was an act of statesmanship unequalled in a generation. Mr. Kyle referred to the victorious termination of the war, saying that all the bills had been paid and there was a surplus in the treasury of some three hundred millions of dollars. He spoke of the favorable operation of the Dingley bill, Many of our people who attend at Long Beach for the last tending the reunion return Saturday.

Statement is not made on the authority of Colonel Bryan, however. When asked to express himself on questions of public interest, he said: "You may say that I refuse to discuss any matters connected with politics, the army or laws if event that I see no reason to change the views in regard to the expanding territory of the United States I expressed in my Omaha speech made before entering upon this army life." This was all Colonel Bryan would say, except to add: "You might also say that I am not so enamored of camp life that I would at the close of war apply for a commission in the regular army." The Third Nebraska is slated for Cuba, and unless Colonel Bryan resigns will within a few weeks, go south. While he will not say what he is going to do or when, there is no question that Colonel Bryan is going to do something and do it soon. That he has determined upon a course which will require some action in the near future means that he was going to resign his commission, issue a statement as to why he does this, and enter the discussion of public questions on lines somewhat more extended than in the past. A HORRIBLE YARN. The Riverside Press is Taken in by a Practical Joker From the Riverside Press, Sept. 17, 1898. Rather the best and spiciest seaside story comes from Anaheim. Its truth is vouched for by those who are in a position to know, and it is averred that the events narrated actually happened. It appears that a party of Anaheim young people, evenly divided as to sex, sat out one day by tallyho for Newport. A married couple chaperoned the party, and gave it the necessary dignity and propriety. A stop for lunch was made at a pretty little cove on the coast, and it was here that the masculine contingent became possessed of a hankering to disport itself in the cool and inviting billows. But the party was not provided with bathing suits, and it was not necessary for the chaperones to insist that the proprieties must be observed. But the hankering for a cooling swim was not to be satisfied by ocean breezes. The men folks set out on an exploring trip and found at a safe distance from the temporary camping ground a most alluring little cove. It was a sequestered spot far from the haunts of man and the glances of womankind. It was agreed that one member of the party should remain on shore and guard the clothes of the bathers while they indulged in their semi-annual. But watching became irksome finally, Under Owner's instructions we are offering for Sale the façade OLINDA RANO In Orange County, 7 Miles East of Anaheim. 5000 Acres Of choice Citrus, Deciduous, Olive, Alfalfa and Grain Lands divisions to suit purchasers.

WASHINGTON, September 19.—The statistics of banking, currency, coinage and the production of precious metals in the United States are presented in great detail by a series of tables just issued by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics as a part of the July summary of commerce and finance. An examination of the tables reveals some interesting facts. The earliest figures are those of 1774, which give the specie at that date at $4,000,000. The same statement publishes the specie in 1794, at $10,000,000, the number of banks three, with a capital of $2,100,000 and a circulation of $2,000,000. By 1797 the number of banks had increased to twenty-five, the capital to $19,200,000, the bank circulation to $10,000,000 and the specie to $14,000,000. The story of the century 1797-1897 is cold fully in the elaborate series of tables, both as to banks and their currency and gold and silver production and coinage. In that time the number of banks increased to 9457, the capital to $1,927,493,653 and the bank circulation to $198,920,670. The deposits in the first bank of the Uniied States, in 1899, the earliest date at which reports of bank deposits are obtainable, amounting to $8,500,000; the individual deposits reported by the 9457 banks in 1897 amounted to $5,193,755,807. Of this $1,939,376,035 were savings deposits. The increase in the number of State banks prior to the Civil War is shown to have been rapid, the number in 1830 being 329; in 1840, 741; in 1850, 809; in 1860.1562. The decrease from 1860 was equally rapid, the number of State banks in 1863 being 1023; in 1864, 349; and in 1869, 247 while the number of national banks organized in 1863, 1864 and 1865 was 1601. State banks again increased in numbers after 1868, the number in 1872 being 566; in 1885, 975; in 1888, 1403; in 1890, 2101; in 1894, 3586; and in 1897 the number, including private banks, is reported at 3873. Prior to 1860 the deposits in State banks amounted to little more than half the capital stock, while since 1877 deposits have at all times been more than double the amount of capital stock, and in 1895 were $723,640,795 against a capital stock of $228,677,088. The statements regarding the amount of money in circulation in the United States at various periods are also interesting. The amount in circulation in 1800 is given at $4.98 for each person: in 1810,$7.60; in 1820,$6.96; in 1830,$6.69; in 1840,$10.91; in 1850,$12.02; in 1860,$13.85; in 1865,$20.57; in 1870,$17.50; in 1880,$19.41; in 1890,$22.82; and in 1898,$24.74. The statement in regard to gold production and coinage shows that the mines of the United States produced more gold in the year 1897 than in any preceding year except those of the gold development of California in 1852, 1853 and 1854. The gold production of the United States in 1897 is given at $57,363,000, while that of 1852 was $60,-ooo; that of 1853 was $65,-ooo; and that of 1854 was $65,-ooo.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 20.—A special from Jacksonville, Fla., says: Colonel William Jennings Bryan of the Third Nebraska volunteers will shortly resign his commission in the United States army and resume the discussion of public questions. The curiously interested in rational and effective methods of forest protection to what remains of the public timber lands, and as producers of national wealth have a right to demand it. They have the result of years of wanton forest destruction before their eyes and can see themselves confronted with a timber shortage before many years that threatens their commercial and industrial life. That such a condition is fast approaching needs no prophetic vision to foresee. The extent of burned forest land the past 10 years as developed in these regions is an evidence that requires no supporting argument to make effective. That many thousands of acres of forest still exist in the Coeur d'Alene basins does not weaken the fact of an impending timber shortage. Under the present conditions two or three dry seasons would suffice to wipe out the larger portion by far of what remains of the forests in this part of the state. There is not yet adequate protection or supervision, and public sentiment upon these points is not yet sufficiently aroused — Forester. TOOK POSSESSION. Killed Two Men in Attempting to Hold a House Left Him by His Mother. GARRETT, Pa., Sept. 20.—E. P. Meyers this morning took possession of a house left to him by his mother, Mrs. Christly Meyers, who died five months ago. The deed was not signed by his father, who had a life tenure in the property. When Christly Meyers arrived this morning he found the house barricaded, his son refusing him entrance. He went to Somerset and swore out a warrant for the fordible entry and detainer, and on his return sought service for the writ. Young Meyers fired at the constable, fatally wounding Micheal Kearney. Then he immediately fled to his boarding-house adjoining, where the constable, Nelson Lenhart, and his brother, John Lenhart, followed him. He fired again, killing John Lenhart instantly. Sheriff Martin Hartseil of Somerset in a short time arrived with a posse. A crowd of infuriated citizens was guarding the boarding house, in the cellar of which young Meyers was hiding. After an hour's waiting, a raid was made. A dozen shots were exchanged. Meyers was finally overpowered, and while being taken down the steps of the house was struck by a gun in the hands of somebody in the crowd. He was knocked unconscious, but later recovered and was removed to Somerset. Michael Kearney died at 10 o'clock. Of money in circulation in the United States at various periods are also interesting. The amount in circulation in 1800 is given at $4.98 for each person; in 1810, $7.60; in 1820, $6.96; in 1830, $6.69; in 1840, $10.91; in 1850, $12.02; in 1860, $13.85; in 1865, $20.57; in 1870, $17.50; in 1880, $19.41; in 1890, $22.82, and 1898, $24.74. The statement in regard to gold production and coinage shows that the mines of the United States produced more gold in the year 1897 than in any preceding year except those of the gold development of California in 1852, 1853 and 1854. The gold production of the United States in 1897 is given at $57,363,000, while that of 1852 was $60,000,000; that of 1853, $65,000,000; and that of 1854, $60,000,000. Colorado is shown to have taken in 1897 first place in the rank of gold production in the United States; her production in that year being $19,104,200 against $14,618-300 by California, while prior to that time California had constantly stood at the head of the column of gold-production states. The colignage of gold by the United States mints in 1897 was $64,644,865, which is nearly 50 per cent larger than the average annual coinage since 1870. The statements respecting the gold production of the world show, by periods the amount of gold produced in the world. Since the discovery of America the total value of the gold produced from 1492 to 1898 (estimating 1897 at $240,000,000) was $9,023,320,600. Of this amount $6,065,997,600 has been produced since 1850, more than double the sum of the preceding 350 years. A Clever Trick! It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it.

SAN DIEGO, CAL A CRITICAL TIME. During the Battle of Santiago. SICK OR WELL, A RUSH NIGHT AND DAY. The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de Cuba Were All Heroes. Their Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammunition and Rations to the Front Saved the Day. P. E. BUTLER, of pack-train No. 3, writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23, says: "We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor; for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and raions, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health: in fact, I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect savior of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of this medicine for our pack-train before we left Tampa, and I know in four cares it absolutely saved life."

Several objectionable and disorderly characters have been of late attending the A TRAINMAN'S RISKS FIGURES WHICH GO TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE OVERESTIMATED. Brakemen, and the Old Hands Among Them, Are Offenest Victims—But the Statistics Quoted May Be Exceptional. Benefits From Safety Appliances. It has been estimated, and, in fact, railroad men frequently make the remark, that the average life of a man actively engaged in train service is about seven years. In other words, that they are either crippled up so as to render them unfit for service again in a like capacity or are killed on an average in that time. It has been found by looking over the records of one of the leading railroads entering Louisville that this is untrue. During three years, on one of the busiest roads entering the city, there were only 2 killed and 158 injured, all of whom were brakemen except two, and they were freight conductors who had assumed the duty of brakemen, one by making a coupling and the other by assisting in unloading freight. It would seem that inexperienced men would be most apt to get injured, but the figures show differently, as indicated by the following: Eleven, or 9.56 per cent of the total number of trainmen, were injured during their first year of service; 18, or 12.16 per cent, were injured who had been in the service two years; 15, or 11.11 per cent, had been in the service three years; 22, or 16.35 per cent, four years; 26, or 20 per cent, five years; 27, or 21.77 per cent, six years; 13, or 9.63 per cent, seven years; 5, or 3.90 per cent, eight years; 8, or 2.47 per cent, nine years; 5, or 4.16 per cent, ten years, and 12, or 8.89 per cent, over ten years, some of whom had been in the service 15, 18 and 22 years. It will be noted that the largest average of injuries occurred after the employee had been in service six years, and the figures given would indicate that employees as a general rule are careful up to the time when they have been in the service three to four years and then become more careless until about their eighth year of service, when the indications show that they again become careful, as those who had worked over ten years have a very small comparative per cent of injuries compared with those who had worked six years. With the completion of the equipment of all box cars with automatic couplers, airbrakes, etc., the liability of a trainman being injured will have been reduced to a minimum, as the record goes to show that at least two-thirds of the injuries were caused by attempting to couple automatic drawbars with a link and pin to the old fashioned solid or skeleton drawbar, which is very dangerous even to the most experienced railroad man. Other causes were on account of uneven drawbars, some being as much as three inches higher than others. All this will be recritied with the law which requires all cal time this medicine was the indirect aviator of our army. for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front.

Whenover there is long timber to load the companies require the use of two cars instead of one, as heretofore. With the taking effect of the new law compelling railroads to have all cars equipped with automatic drawbars and have the drawbars of equal height from rails, the position of railroad brakeman will not be such a hazardous one. — Louisville Courier-Journal. Death Grip on a Satchel. James Whitcomb Riley, the great Hoosier poet, never burdens himself with much baggage while he is traveling. He once explained his views on baggage by saying: "I am continually haunted by the fear that my trunk will be lost, so I go about the country with a grip. I keep a tenacious hold on it all day long and never feel quite safe about it at night. In case there is ever a fearful railway accident, and among the debris is a valise with an arm attached to it firmly, they may bury it without further identification as the fragments of the Hoosier poet." Horace Greeley as an Orator. Mr. Greeley was not an orator in any scholastic sense. He had a poor and somewhat squeaking voice, he knew nothing of gestures, and he could not take an orator's pose which adds such paired with those who had worked six years. With the completion of the equipment of all box cars with automatic couplers, airbrakes, etc., the liability of a trainman being injured will have been reduced to a minimum, as the record goes to show that at least two-thirds of the injuries were caused by attempting to couple automatic drawbars with a link and pin to the old fashioned solid or skeleton drawbar, which is very dangerous even to the most experienced railroad man. Other causes were on account of uneven drawbars, some being as much as three inches higher than others. All this will be recified with the law which requires all drawbars to be of a standard height. A great many trainmen were injured by stepping upon stones or links in jumping off to throw switches, etc., quite a number by being thrown off on account of the icy condition of the tops of the cars. There was one case where a brakeman was standing near the end of a car when another cut of cars struck it, and he was thrown from the top of the car to the ground, alighting squarely upon his feet and "stoving him up severely, as will be readily understood. A few were compelled to jump from the top of cars in cases of derailment. Others had their feet mashed by attempting to shove an automatic drawbar over a few inches to enable it to come more squarely in contact with the automatic coupler. This is one of the serious objections to the automatic drawbar—that it will not couple readily on a curve, and it is necessary for the trainmen either to pull one of the drawbars over or shove it over with their feet. One of the most general causes of pinched fingers was on account of the pin failing to drop all the way down into the hole when coupling with a link and pin. The brakemen invariably reach over to give the pin a start so it will drop into the hole, when the cars frequently roll one way or the other just a few inches and catch the pin just before it gets all the way down, causing it to tilt back and catch the fingers between pin and end sill of the car. A few were injured by holding the grab iron on the end of the car—recently added to all freight cars by an act of congress—and attempting to make the coupling when long lumber or bridge iron would be extending over the end of the car to be coupled to, and catch their hands between the timber and end of the car. However, this dangerous method of coupling cars together that have lading projecting over the ends of them baggage by saying: "I am continually haunted by the fear that my trunk will be lost, so I go about the country with a grip. I keep a tenacious hold on it all day long and never feel quite safe about it at night. In case there is ever a fearful railway accident, and among the debris is a valise with an arm attached to it firmly, they may bury it without further identification as the fragments of the Hoosier poet." Horace Greeley as an Orator. Mr. Greeley was not an orator in any scholastic sense. He had a poor and somewhat squeaking voice, he knew nothing of gestures, and he could not take an orator's pose, which adds such emphasis sometimes to the matter and argument to be set forth. Not all his years of practice on the platform and on public occasions ever changed his habits and methods as a speaker, and he ended as poorly equipped in the respects named for the vocation as when he began. But he had one prime quality, without which all the others are exploited in vain. He invariably had something to say, and he said it in such clear and wholesome English with such sincerity that he was an orator in spite of all the rules. To state it briefly, of all the eminent speakers I have introduced—and more than once—there was not one who gave better satisfaction, different and notable as they were, than Horace Greeley. As a consequence, he came to me oftenest and wore the best. We might or might not agree with some of his peculiar premises, as when he says, "The moment a drop of alcohol is received into the human stomach that moment the stomach recognizes a deadly enemy," but he set his audience thinking and illuminated his theme—Joel Benton in Harper's Magazine. AT DAWN OF DAY. Unbroken silence, brilliant eastern skies, Without a stirring leaf, Incense from celestial chalices, Affloat in midair brief, Giving to mortal sight and sense New beauties, rich and rare, To the thoughtful mind a moment For reverent praise and prayer. Praise for our great Creator, Prayer for our wayworn hours, Hope for fulfilled promises, Trust in benignant powers. Mid awe inspiring silence, As night shades pass away, New life in slow procession Proclaims the dawn of day. Clark W. Bryan in Good Housekeeping,
