SEC. MORTON SPEAKS. He Gaye the Populist a Touch on the Financial Question. World's Fair Grounds, Il, 15.—Seeretary of Agriculture Mor- ton bad something to say about sil- ver, and he gave the Populists a touch in his speech before the nat- ional commission of the World's Columbian Exposition to-day. See- retary Morton came here to take part in the fair quietly, but yet the commission learned of his presence and an invitation was forthwith cent to Mr. Morton to come out with the national commission to-day which invitation was accepted. He was warmly welcomed by President Pal- mer, after which Mr. Morton said in part: Everything in the civilized career or our race seems to have been massed here, an object lesson from all the centuries to teach Americans their duties and their possibilities To be sure, as your president has intimated, underlying all sciences and arts is agriculture, and it has begun to dawn upon the agricultur al mind that it needs individual de velopment and self reliance in each citizen rather than gregarious or- ganizations which may be deputed or given power of attorney to think for the farmers. We all understand that, so far, grange and alliance or ganizations have been attending to something else rather than farming. That they have been worked, to use the parlance of the day, by journey- men farmers, who have for polictical purposes farmed the farmers. [Ap- plause.] These organizations, as a rule. have attended to every other thing exceptagriculture. [Applause] They have instructed the public az to how banks ought to be organized and how railroads ought to be man aged; they have even gone so far as to prescribe new methods of coinage for the general government. [Laugh- ter.] The many fallacies which have evolved for the farmer for his best interests ure very catching. ‘There is nothing in this world so attractive to humanity as the possibility ot - making something cut of nothing. The teachings of many of the jour neymen farmers,who have organized societies throughout the country, has been to the effect that the mon- ey of the country is simply a legal fiction. They forget that so far in all his civilized career man has nev er been able to make a medium of exchange or a measure of value out of something which had no commod ity value before it became money. {Applause.]We have arrived at a period now in finance which takes -one back to the investigation of the alchemists and sorcerers of the dark ages. You all remember of reading of those wierd incantations in secret places by the alchemists of clden times when they attempted to find the philosopher's stone or to create value out of thin air. But the alche mist and the sorcerer and the astrolo gist long since passed away and it shas been left for the modern advo- cates of fallacies to evoke by the magic of their wand from the vacu ous viscera of nothingness vast vol ume—— [The conclusion of the sen there shall be evolved new ambitions and pew aspirants to all the citizens |of the United States, and to all of |the whole world, and no greater Oct. | thought has been evolved so farthan |the one expressed in this petition | which is being signed here so num erously to day, and upon each day, in favor of no mere wars between ithe civilized nations of the earth {applause} aud establish a uational differences of all the people of the | civilized globe shall be settled by | judgement aud reason rather than by mere brute force and war plause. } Patrick Walsh, the at large from Georgia, was selected by President Palmer to respond to Secretary Morton's He mede brief speech of welcome on behalf of the national commission Mr. Walsh also extended an invita tion to the Secretary of Agriculture to be present at the Augusta expos tion. IN WORDS OF ONE commissioner remarks. SYLLABLE. Mr. A. P. Edgerton’s Remarkuble Ad- dress to the School Children of Fort Wayne. kK. ©. Star. The strength which lies in words of one syllable has been often deta- onstrated, and no doubt the simple directness, of this address delivered toa graduating class at Fort Wayne, impressed itself on the minds of the listeners with a force that them remember it. The president of the board of trustees was Mr. A. P. Edgerton, afterward civil service commissioner, made national and his advice, given eleven years ago, is still worth preserving. The greater part of it is here quoted: “This day we close for the year the Fort Wayne Free schools, and we now part with you, the girls and boys we are no more to teach. “I say girls and boys, for when three score and ten years have come to you, you will be glad to have your friends say that health and peace of mind have kept your hearts warm; that you wear no brow of gloom; are not borne down with age, but still, in heart, are ‘girls and boys.’ When these years come, and I hope they will come to all, the tide of time will roll back and tell you of your school time days, when the fair, the kiad, and the true, found love, but the false heart found no friends, no ton gues to praise. These days bring rich gifts to age, and when you shall cease to think of them your fire has burnt low, and your light has gone out You have been here taught in the hope that the Free schools of Fort Wayne would help to make you of use to your friends and to the world: would give you faith in all that is good and true, and lead you to seek work; for this you must s2ek and do if you would have a good name, wealth, a home, a charge to keep, or a trust to serve. Go forth with a bold, true heart to seek the work for you to do. “Keep in mind that the hours to work run through each day, and that God's great law of life is, ‘In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread.’ “Now for you, young man, this tence was inaudible owing to the) tuth is told. loud applause. ] That which our people need first and Yoremost more than any other thing] aoor of shops and mills, “Ge where you will through the world, and you will find on the front of stores is an honest unfluctuating measure | nq banks, and on ships, on farms, of values.

Everywhere in Paris the Russians Greeted with Cheers. Panis, Oct. 20.—The committee hav- ing in charge arrangements for the fetes to be given in honor of the Rus- sians invited Adm. Avelan and his offi- cers to attend the opera on Saturday and a banquet on Sunday. The ad- miral accepted the invitation and ex- Are pressed warmest gratification at the nature of the reception that had been accorded him and his officers. In the course of his remarks Adm. Avelan characterized the French reception as “supernatural.” M. Edouard Herve, of the Soleil, in replying to the admiral, said that “present circumstances themselves are supernatural, since they produced a miracle by suspending our political di- visions. In medieval times men had ‘the truce of God; now it was the truce of Russia.” At 11:45 in the morning the Russians started from their quarters for the for- eign ministry, where a lunch was given in their honor. The party rode in open carriages and were constantly cheered by the crowd along the entire route. The noise was deafening. Military honors were paid the guests when they entered the court yard of the foreign ministry. A CLOSE BILLIARD MATCH. Some Beautifal Playing Ending in the Score Being Nearly Even. New York, Oct. 20.—The attendance last night clearly illustrated that in- terest in the pyramid pool match be- tween Roberts and D'Oro was inereas- ing. D'Oro said he did not feel good Wednesday night and expected to make a better showing. The game was re- sumed ou the English table and Rob- erts made a suecession of shots in the sixty-fifth frame and the spectators yelled themselves hoarse at his beauti- ful hazards and position plays. In the seventy-seventh frame he took 15 by beautiful playing and followed it up by securing 13 in the following frame, running ahead of his adversary by a score of 580 to The Cuban got square a few minutes later by tak- ing the entire 13 amid rapturous ap- plause, putting his total up to 592. Roberts responded with i2, which brought him within 3 of his adversary. In the last frame of the night's play D'Oro made 14and the game was ad- journed, with the score, D'Ore, 609; Roberts, 593. EXCITEMENT IN HAYTI. A Deputy Minister to Be Shot as a Traitor. New York, Oct. 20.—The World's Panama special says: Hayti’s deputy minister of the interior, it is observed, was connected with the plot to over- throw the government. He was im- prisoned and will probably be shot as 8 traitor. There is profonnd popular excitement over the renewal of the question of ced- ing the Mole St. Nicholas to the United States, which it is said Hippolyte se- cretly favored, but dared not openly accept. Knowledge of this is thought to be the cause of the conspiracy just discovered. Hazing Cadets Punished. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 20.—The court- martial now in session at the naval academy has found verdicts in three of the cases of hazing under trial. Cadets David ¥. Boyd, Jr., William Jeffers and William C. Leahy were found guilty as charged and recommended to dis- missal. The superintendent sent Boyd and Jeffers to one month’s imprison- ment on board the Santee, and 100 de- demerits, and allowed Leahy to go un- punished. Death of Mrs. Lucy Stone. Boston, Oct. 20.—Lucy Stone is dead. Mrs. Stone was born in West Brom- | svera! field, Mass, in 1818. Probably no wom- an living did more to interest the pub- lic at large in the cause of woman's rights She has spoken and written for almost forty years in this cause. At Trenton, N. J., a beautiful monu- ment was unveiled which commemor- ates the famous battle of the revolu- tionary war. Ww “I SAY! | “.
