It was w besutiful morning when we took this most charming drive over the Sacred Way, the caravan winding its way far ahead of us among the olive uroves. We started out in high spirits; our driver, who s little in common with his ancestors, the torch bearcrs, turned his horses' heads down Stadium stroot, which is more suggestive of Paris than Athens, excepting for the Greok signs over the doors.

This beautiful pass in tho mountain marks the ancient boundary betwoen the two kingdoms, Athens and Eleusis. Here we halted in this romantic spot and wandered 1nto the court, where rows of mar- ble pillars and lovely Corinthian capitals buried in the weeds told the sad fate of Apollo's shrine.

Norfolk News: Every community in Ne- braska should aid Omaha in her efforts to secure the next national republican conven- tion. Nebrasks would be honored justas much as Omana, in the selection, Fairbury Enterpriso: In the contest for the national convention, the chances for Omaha ave now much better. Nebraska never doos anything by halves, and hor me- tropolis by the Missouri can aasily gain the much-to-be-desived trophy if they go after it in proper form. York Times: Nearly every paper in Ne- braska favors Omaha for the location of the next republican couvention, The newspapers of Nebraska are loyal to thestate, and always favor anything that will advertise or in any help any portion of the commonwealth. Kearney Hub: And now Minneapolis is letting horself out in the race for the next republican convention. Of course that city is not the place for the convention, as coni- pared with Omaha. The latter city is central for the west, and to hold the convention there would have a better effect on the senti- ment of Kausas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Towa and Minuesota, than if held at any other point. The convontion should be held in the west. 'This much conceded, Omaha is logically the eity to hold it in othonburg [ndependent : ing a strong effort to secure the next u ropublican convention and ought to succeed. No great party couventions have ever been held west of Chiouro or Louis, and u convention of tha character of the above named would bring many new men wost and give them a chance to see and know more of this groat country. The west would benefit by such a convention.

He Arraigns the O1d Pareties and Urges the People to Obtain Re- dress for Their Wrongs Through the Ballot. Uvysses, Neb,, July 4.—[Special to Tue In spite of tho wet weather thero was 1d turnout of farmers and townepeople to listan to the patriotic address of Hon. C. H. Van Wyck. The general has hundreds of warm supporters n Butler county and his spooch, which was full of eloquence, was frequently interrupted by long and hearty applause. General Van Wyck afterreciting what was supposed to be established by the war of tho rovolution, spoke of the action of parties and the administration in direct opposition to the teachings of the past and said: “And these years have culminated in the determination of the multitude of all classes tor redress, not by fire or dynamite, but standing in the full measure of American manhood, do it by the ballot which falls gently as the snowflake, but Executes u freoman’s will As lightning does tho will of God, ; “After the old partios have entailod this condition of affairs we aro told relief cau only come through that source. “The democratic party encouraged and strongthened tho slavery of the black man, while under the repubiican has grown the power of corporations aud syndicates, on- tailing slavery of the white mao. ““Iho money power has taken tho place of slavory.” Arraigning both parties for reckless pay- ments from the treasury to bondholders, in the donation of #5 conts for every doilar paid, tho general said: *On an honest count therd is probably not ® lareo surplus, and our republican brethren will seo to it that it shall not increase rapidly, They are adopt- ing the policy of close collections and quick payments. ““Thoy have baen much exercised about the loss of the merchant marine; that it must be restored at any cost. \We build a Chinese wall of high tariffs around the republic and then lament the luss of the carrying trade, and they rashly conclude we can regain at least a portion, if we tax labor millions to divide among a few ship owners; and the greator portion will bo generously presented with complimonts of tue season to lines already established and doing well, notably the Pacific mail, owned and con- trollod by the magnates who also own the Paciflc railroads ; and then the people are to bo allowed by a Quixotic proposition of build- ing in our ship yards a lino of steamers to cross the ocean in five duys. So we can bo startled with the great impetus givea to ship-building and the carrying trade by large subsidies. Both parties are now on havior, bidding for the port.”” Prophecying success in the coming cam- paign, the speaker indulged in this rosy view : *You will, not now or in the future, do in- justice to any class, however much you may have been wronged. You are not seeking vongeance. While you may not hope for in- domnity for the past, stand firmly for pro- tection for the future. You want no Quix- ouic campaigns or tilt with the wind mills; you kuow the nature aud causeof the malady Wwiich afflicts the people; we don’t believe in any faith cure 1a politics and the people have no confidence in medicine mon or messiahs. All sorts of schemes will ba started for your amusement and to diyert you from the rome- dies which may be of advantago. We want a fair rato of interest, then stringent usury laws, and their violation to be punished as the viola- tion of other laws are punished. Robbery by usury should be punished as swiftly 4 other robbories. Then you want fair rail road rates fixed by legislatures and corpora- tions, which openly or by stealth refuso to obey, to be punished by forfeiture of their charter, Make them tired of violating the law and the demands of the people. Let us do as our fathers did, demand only what is right and enforce obedience by what- over means may be necessary. No wildeat schemes or balloon theories will aid just now. Weare yet of the earth earthy, and deal with men more than a ‘lit- tle below the angels.” It is criminal folly to ask for men by the thousands who are not afraid to die; what we want is millions of men who are determined to live—determined to enjoy the fruits of the earth, if they can- not. the pretended divine gift to make money, Why talk to you about adhering to the old parties, when they have cach abandoned the principles they professed before monopolies obtained absolute control. ‘Against crimes committed by society and sanctionod by law the world has ben rebel- ling for thousands of years. The patriot in the dungeon, on the scaffold and battletiold have all these years boen struggling to make the world better by elevating mankind, at least to that point~ whoro toil shall be re- watded so that the toiler can share in all the enjoyments a kind providence intended.

Men often exhibit a ner votion to an organization which once typified aliving principle after the principle had been victorious and broken the bands which held it and ascended in tno full fruition of realization. Our fathers knew that the mother country, with all the pretenses of love and care to the colonies, had grown op- pressive, and tosave thomselves from unjust taxation hurled the tea in Boston harbor and defied & power they had horetoforo cheer- fully obeyed. Their descendants today know that injustico is laying its hoavy hand upot them, demanding something of ~ the samo de- term{nation, not in sacrifice and_blood, but in honest offort in the oxorcise of thoso rights accorded to the citizen, sometimes called sovereicn. This generation must show manly, intelligent courage, or the next may be compelled to a sterner struggle. ‘The world chauges by slow stages, tyranny and greed do not willingly recognize tho rights of the masses. Now, as in the ages past, the weak—tlhie toilers -the humble, se- cure their rights from the fears of thoso who would play despot.
