THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURO. PA.
HIS ORATORY WON.
FRANKS. BLACK'S SPEECH SECURED
HIM THE NOMINATION.
m Troy Friend tail Illm m Second Lin
coln. Snme of the Epigram that Cap
tlTittad the Naw York Itepubllcan Con
vention at Saratoga,
Wlion Frank 8. Black, of Troy, Imv
iraci hla vfrh as temporary chairman
of the New York State llopiibllean Con
rtsitlon fl-w prvsout realized that lie
m casting an oratorical spell over the
deli'jratcs aocoiid only to that which
William Jennings Bryan wrought In
the Chicago national convention. Such,
however, proved to be the case, for
Black, with little or no following In the
couimeuci'iiient, was triumphantly
nominated for Governor upon the
fourth lallit, and succeeding to, the
day of liia brilliant utterances. Ills
speech had for a sotting the rankest
sod most Insane lot of nominating
speeches that were ever heard In nny
State convention. Perhaps this fact
adWd lustre to his effort
nON. F. S. BLACK.
Personal friends of Mr. Black delight
to call him a second Lincoln, but at
this time the only resemblance which
th Troy statesman bears to the mar
tyred President Is a lanklness of phy
sique. There are at least several other
people In the world who might claim
with equal right the same distinction.
Herewith u given some of the bright
est gems of thought and utterance ac
credited to Mr. Black:
"The time to determine what a his
tory shall be is before it Is completed,
for once closed It can neither be chang
ed nor recalled.
"It Is no small thing to be right. An
errjnr Is easily conceived and may be
orn committed, and If a plea of Irre
sponsibility or a promise of reform is
a good discharge, the offender may not
wujy escape, but he may also never
rcallBe the gravity of bis offence.
"This is not a time for erecting new
animosities or renewing old ones. It Is
noltlme to refuse forgiveness to sinners
wSo have repented. The present dan
ger Is too groat not to welcome every
vatM prepared to enter our ranks.
AN EARLY PORTRAIT OF LINCOLN.
"No dollar Is good that Is not worth
asieh in London as It Is In Lincolu,
aufl a dollar that wilts when you take
It go salt water is too weak for this ro
bust Republic.
"Tree trade, under the name of tariff
rcftmn, has ploughed deep Into the vi
tals of American thrift, and yet this
oll dfctctrine, now so generally rejected,
Is Again presented to the American peo
ple! unrecommended by a single suc
ce9, unredeemed by a single practical
Tiitwe, unchanged in any of those bit
ter, aspects which have been pricked by
DQi)fortuuo into the memory of our peo
ple and the only Inducement offered to
try Uiis heresy again Is that It Is now
aetjptupanled by another heresy equally
dangerous uud Infinitely more dislioti
orolile. "The two parties are no further apart
now than they were when the Ameri
ca people, in a fit of somnambulism,
sent Benjamin Harrison back to In
dianapolis and Orover Cleveland buck
to Ik'ashlngtou."
A Patrol for Drinker.
Commander Booth-Tucker has ar
ranged to have Salvation Army patrol
WHJrons go about the streets qf t.w
YofJ. at night picking up those over
con3 by drink.
The unfortunates will be cared foi
ov night and sent nway with a break
fast There will be at the start t.nly
two wagons. One will be under the
direction of the Knights of Hope, the
Prfton Samaritan League of the Army,
anfl the other under the control of the
League of Love, which is the assistant
Iionoue League. The former Is com
posed of men soldiers nud the latter ol
woUtn workers.
Banker Vnu Norden, whose daughter
Is tun unuy worker, has given $luo to

There never has been o picturesque
a visitor to America as LI Hung
Chang.
Although ho Is seventy-four years of
age, tills Is the first time ho ever left
the Orient.
LI Hung Chang Is at once the embod
iment of the old and the new. He rep
resents the oldest civilization on earth,
and yet Is the Champion of many ad
vanced and progressive Ideas. He Is
not only the richest man lu the world
but he Is also one of the mst Influen
tial, holding, as he does, the iwer of
life and death over millions of his sub
jects. nilK.i. .rim Ev2-1
r,Ji crLi' "i.rj'ik
LI HCNO CHANO.
Wedded to Ideas thnt were old before
the dawn of modern European civiliza
tion, LI Hung Oliang Is a thorough
democrat. Living in a country where
people worship their ancestors, he Is a
self-made man, with hazy Ideas as to
the Identity of his own grandfather.
By the force of his own genius he has
risen to commanding Influence over
royal and princely houses whose origin
Is lost In antiquity. Inheriting nothing
but brains and energy, LI Hung Chang
has absorbed power in every form.
Wealth, place, honor, fame, military
and political power, nil ore his.
Nelrher Europe nor America can
offer a single man whose achievements
equal those of LI Hung Chang. He Is
richer than nny Rockefeller, Vander
bilt or Astor. He Is more powerful
than either Bismarck, Gladstone or
Cleveland. Neither Queen Victoria nor
Emperor William possesses a tenth of
the despotic iwwer of this Celestial.
There are few men whose learning Is
so great and whose observation lias
been so wide nnd varied. Aside from
all of this, there Is no human being
either in Europe or America whose
dally life Is surrounded by such bar
baric splendor and picturesqueness.
In his Intercourse with foreigners, LI
Hung Chang years ago abandoned the
absurd formalities of the Chinese. He
was easily accessible to intelligent
travellers, whom he delighted to en
tertain and question. Interviewers,
artists, and even ordinary tourists
from Europe found no ditliculty In pass
lug the Innumerable barriers of his pal
aces at Tien-Tbin and sitting down to
dinner with this wide-awake China
man. Distinguished visitors to China were
sought and entertained by hiin. He
made elaborate preparations to receive
and entertain General Grant, with
whom he had lengthy discussions re
garding America, the civil war, and
the politics and social customs of the
United States. He asked particularly
about West Tolnt, and surprised Gen.
Grant by his knowledge of many things
pertaining to his own career.
LI Hung Chang stands six feet one
inch in his stockings, and the boots
which he wears have soles of wood
about an inch thick.
The famous yellow Jacket is of tho
finest satin, and Is embroidered on the
breast and back with double drugous
in a circle. LI uses a Chinese water
pipe with a long stem nnd a silver
bowl as big as your fist, in which the
smoke passes through scented water.
Missionaries, merchants, diplomats
and diplomats' wives have supplied
enough information In respect to the
Jomestlc life of LI Hung Chang to en
able us to form a very complete Idea
tf his home life.
He Is very kind and gentle to all
whom he likes, very formal to all
others. He worshiped his late wife,
ind treated her with an affection and
respect which would do credit
to any Christian husband. He recog
nized the superiority of Western In
feiitlons, and utilized all that he could
in the administration of his personal
lffalrs.
Curfew lu Kauaa.
The City Council of Topeka, Kan
aa, has enacted a curfew law. It
provides that all children under 10
fears of age found on the streets or In
,)ubllc places unaccompanied by guar
Jlans afUT 0 p. m. In summer nud 8

Be a thrifty farmer, as It means a

pleasure of the good wife ludoors, who

Anarchy, or Centralized Teipotism.
The title of this article may appear
startling, ami yet, looking at the
charges made by the opposing factions,
one is leu to believe that the people
of our country are "between the
Devil and the deep sea," without any
possible chance of escaps by reason
ot reaping the fruits of cither, Anarchy,
or, Centralized Despotism, in this
presidential campaign. The Chicago
platform is denounced as revolutionary
anci anarchistic, while the candidates
are denounced as populistic j and their
lollowers as frenzied with a silver craze.
On the other hand it is charged that
the millionaires and plutocrats who
are organized into combines of trusts,
corporations and syndicates, under the
single gold standard banner will so
rule or ruin the country that the
masses of the people will become sub
servient to their will and power, and
thus reduced to abject slavery. We
believe that there is a tendency of a
very small ; but powerful minority to
subjugate the government to their will
and pleasure and defeat the great
majority in their rights and immuni
ties under the constitution. The
majority of the people have hereto
fore been able to take care of their
own government and we believe that
they areable to take care of it still .
notwithstanding they are denounced as
anarchists, communist! &c. If the
people choose to vote for the free
coinage of silver, are they not able to
manage the financial aflairs just as
well as the plutocrats of the county ?
The great secret lies in the fact that
the millionaire plutocrats do not trust
the plain people with the affairs of
the government. It has been said
that the plain people do not bother
themselves about politic?, that the poli
ticians would see to, and attend to that.
v ell yes, they have seen to that only
too long, while the people have not
paid much attention to it until they
found that the politicians had eaten
out their fruits of their labors, and
now they propose to call a halt and
demand a reckoning. J.
