(A Cadlegram from Mr. Pulitzer Read at the Celenrat World's Twenty-fifth Anniversary.) Not self-admiration but self-criticism and self-improvement are the passions of The World. Twenty-five years ago it was dedicated to truly democratic ideas, to the cause of the people. Nineteen years ago the cornerstone of this building was laid with the invocation: Let it ever he remembered that this edifice owes itt extst- ence to the public, that tts architect is popular favor, that its moral cornerstone is love of liberty and justice, that its every stone comes from the people and represents public approval for public service rendered. ..

When he grew excited it was shrill and discordant, His language was a queer blend of the precise, old-fashioned books he had read and of his own backwoods style. To the end of his days he spoke more or less the dialect of the frontier, always pronouncing (for instance) “chair” like “cheer” and legislature, Mereilessly clear in argument and logic, he had a shrewd, frresistible, homely wit that cropped out unex- pectedly in even his most serious orations Logic, interlarded with funny nd often decidedly vualgar-—anecdotes, was one of the chief features in w | his legislative addresses. He Jost some of his popularity in that easy-going region by flercely opposing the extension of slavery, and fighting the e “Black Laws” which forbade free negvoes to enter Illinois.
