MR. CLEVELAND
ON EDUCATION
THE EX-PRESIDENT DISCUSSES
THE SUBJECT.
Address Before the Roman Catholic
College of St. Thomns at Villa
Nova Expression of His Appre
ciation of the Degree Conferred
on Him Advice to Graduates.
By Exclushc Wire from The Associated Prc.
Philadelphia, Juno 17. The degree of
doctor ot Jurisprudence was conferred
on ex-I'i elclcnt Cleveland today at the
commencement exorelsos of the Augus
tlnlan college of St. Thomas at Villa
Nova, a suburb of this' city. Mr. Cleve
land, In accepting the honor, bald:
Jlr. Pi evident: I de.lrc to r.trcw In a
lew woida my appreciation ot tlin honor
Just confcricd on nic by the Collerro of ril.
Thomas of Villa N'owi. It Is certainly a
Bicat gratlllcHtlon to bo deemed wot thy of
ouch notlco by the governing body or an
institution ot learning within vhoe walls
nro found In a marked degree oppoiliml
tics for a thoroiiRli. HiihstHiitliil and use
ful education. This Incident pi eminently
HURsests to my mind the Impetloiis edict
of education, which forbids the blndiance
or disturbance of the. IiIrIi tulsMon by 10
llgloiiH discrimination, serial Intolerance
or any of tho burners that to a i cater
,or less extent Kcti.ir.ito clvlllr."d hu
manity. Tho republic of otmcllnn Is
bated upon Identical aim. equal rights In
opportunity and Impartiality In the dis
tribution of Its rewards and honors.
This It ."-corns to mo Is Impressively Illus
trated when the severely Catholic College
of St. Thomas of VIIU Kovu bestows it3
highest honorary flcRrec upon nno con
nected with tho management and holding
an honorary degree In the severely Trot
Chtant Princeton university.
Tho processes of education as they ex
ist In this country of onis have, or al
ways should have. In addition to other
characteristics, an especial harmony of
purpose and dorlgn, as they aro related to
our government, and this should consti
tute bctweeir our Institutions ot learning
a bond of clone fraternity. .Whatever
other objects and purposes may bo In
volved In educational efforts among us,
one of its constant and prominent alms
should bo the cultivation and maintenance
of a high standard of American citizen
ship. When we recall the fact that the
bencliccucc of our scheme of government
depends upon the virtue and education of
tho units of our citizenship it is at once
apparent that an Important and common
duty rests upon every agency that under
takes the Instruction ot tho youth of our
land. It will be a sad day for our nation
when tho foices of education and the
teachers of moral lling shall ceaso to
stilvo in unity to leaven the entire mats
of our citizenship or when their influence
In that direction shall be divided and cir
cumscribed by religious and sectarian dif
ferences. 1 hope 1 may he allowed to say in con
clusion a word to you who today com
plete your college course and receivo from
those who have tnught and guided you a
ccitllleate of good citizenship. This is
indeed an honorable decoration and in
dorsement and one ot which you may well
ho proud. But it means more than that.
It Involves a solemn and exacting trust,
and it imparts a pledge on your part that
the education you have hero icchcd
shall neither bo hid in a napkin nor held
tightly to your breast as a means of self
gloritlcation and self-enjoyment. Your
graduation Is merely tho entrance upon
your life's work and your diplomas may
bo legarded as only ii muniment of title
by which you aiv Invested by your alma
mater with the ownership and possession
of an outllt placed in your hands to the
end that you may fittingly discharge the
service to which you aro bound. Bullish
ness in the are of education, and its sor
did possession as an instrument of self
indulgence is as sinful and should be as
stiongly resisted ns any other form of
selfishness. Some of you will find careeis
in tho duties and ministrations ot your
church, and I suppose others will enter
the busy and bustling arena of worldly
activity. Hut whether in the church or
hi tho world, nono of you will avoid the
compact with jour fellow men which
brings with It a grave responsibility to
Amcilean citizenship a responsibility in
finitely more grave and serious as your
Influcnco over others Is increased by your
education or holy calling and more uvcr
piesent and exacting as jou appreciate
the obligations of the trust you liavo as
sumed. You may be sure that you will
fall to meet theo obligations if you are
not constantly and solemnly impressed
with the conviction that your educational
advantages are only valuable as they
bfttcr lit you to do your duty to your
Ood. to your country and to your fellow
men.
The ceremony ot conferring tho de
gree upon Jlr. Cleveland followed tho
dedication of h new monastery, college
and chapel.
The Austrian ambassador, LadiHlnus
Ilengelmuller, Baron von llcngerbar,
received the honorary degree of doctor
of philosophy. Honorary degrees were

trees now on the lawn of the academy.

it Will Be the Most Distinguished Shoe
At the Coronation of King Edward."
Our continual advertising of "Sorosis" is simply to ac
quaint you with the name of a woman's shoe that is receiving
more favorable comment than any other shoe either at home
or abroad.
Expansion is the Spirit of the Day. You'll find
"Sorosis" Shoes in every prominent city of America and
Europe. It must be perfection of shoe making or this profit
able expansion could not occur. Women .i extremely criti
cal, especially when buying shoes. It's the Particular Lady"
that's increasing our sales of "Sorosis" Shoes.
We mean to keep this name before you. We mean to
convince every woman who is willing to be convinced, that
"Sorbsis" stands alone. There's really no shoe for women we
know of except it be those sold for $5.00 and $6.00 by the
best stores in the large cities, that compares
with it, .nd we are justly proud of being the
first to introduce this combination of beauty
and style in women's shoes. Always..

DEMOCRACY
OF ILLINOIS
LIVELY SESSIONS OF THE
STATE CONVENTION.
The Day Full of Clashes Between
Hopkins and Harrison A Wran

The Platform.
By Kc!iulc Wire tiom The Asui.i.itcd rics.
Springlield, III., June 17. The Demo
ciatlc state convention adjourned to
night after nominating the following
ticket: Clerk of the Supreme court,
John L. Pickering, of Springfield; stale
treasurer, George Duddloston, of Chi
cago; superintendent of public in
struction, Anson I., miss, of Hlllsboro.
trustees of tho State university, Dr.
Julius Holmes Smith, ot Chicago; J.
A. While, of Urbaua, and S. S. I'axton,
of Monmouth.
John P. Hopkins, former mayor of
Chicago, was re-elected chairman of
tho state central committee, after a
bitter contest with Mayor Carter II.
Ilarrhon.
Tho election of Chairman Hopkins
pioduced tho only contest In the con
vention, but it was stirring enough to
make up for tho tamcnc&s that char
acterized the other proceedings.
The day was full of clashes between
Hopkins and Harrison. The two men
Indulged In an aciiinluous quarrel In
the St. Nicholas hotel during the
morning, in which Hopkins bitterly re
sented criticisms ninrfe by Harrison, re-

garding the campaign methods attrib
uted to Hopkins by Harrison. Ijater
Harrison and his friends succeeded in
beating the Hopkins men in the dis
trict caucus for state committeeman,
and elected Thomas J. McNally, of
Chicago, in his stead. Hopkins' ono
chance to be re-elected chairman was
In the cnucus of the general commit
tee appointed to select tho chairman.
The committee, by a majority of 3,
recommended tho selection of Hopkins.
A minority report favoring tho elec
tion of Harrison was made, and tho
fight carried to the floor of tho con
vention. The struggle produced wild excite
ment. Impassioned rpeeches were made
In favor of both reports.
The delegates at times wcro frantic,
and criticisms highly personal In their
nature, were frequently exchanged.
A motion to adopt tho minority re
port as a substitute was voted down by
the ayes and noes. The poll was then
called on the adoption of the majority
reoort.
On this Hopkins won by a vote of S62
to 397 against. Cook county's vote was:
Harrison, 25.'i; Hopkins, 2C!'.
The committee on resolutions had a
long and stormy session before their
report was dually adopted.
Thu principal light was over the first
planks In tho platform. As originally
drafted, this read:
"The Democrats of Illinois declare
their adherence to tho fundamental
piinclples of the Democratic party as
laid down In tho declaration of Inde
pendence, and the constitution of the
United States, aillrmcd at our last na
tional convention,"
This was considered by the opponents
of silver as too spreiilc u declaration
In favor of the Kansas City platform
and they fought It. For three hours
tho debate went on, and the plank was
amended to rend:
"All fundamental principles ot the
b
EM? V
$3.50
Democratic party, etc., repeatedly af
firmed by past Democratic conven
tions." Mr. Bryan Ignored.
No effort was made to bring In the
name of William J. Bryan.
The platform, so far as it relates to
national Issues, Insists upon a rigid en
forcement of the present anti-trust
laws and favors further legislation,
both federal and state, to prevent such
combinations as destroy competition;
denounces the Republican tariff as a
prolific mother of trusts and demands
a thorough revision of tho tariff.
Continuing, the platform says:
Wo aio opposed to Hip British system
of colonization, by means of which pow
erful, btillsh interests aic enabled to em
ploy tho resources of tho people to cn-s-lavo
Inferior races and to enrich them
selves. AVo aro In favor ot true American
expansion as has been achieved In tho
past and by means of which vast teni
toilcs have been dedicated forover to
equality and freedom. We, therefore, dc
liounco tho meapiucK adopted by tho Jte
publieans for the government of the Phil
ippines ns monopolistic and autocratic
and dangerous to liberty at homo as well
as libel ty abroad.
Wo denounce the threatened assault
upon the public treasury contemplated In
the ship subsidy bill passed by tho llcpub
llcan spwite, ns one of the boldest and
most flagrant attempts which has yet
been niado to grant public monies In aid
of privato business enterprises.
Wo hellovo that tho American govern
ment should nnnounco to tho Philippines
that It Is not our purpose permanently
to retain their country, but ns soon as
hostilities shall censo and u stable gov
ernment be established, the United States
will recognlzo the Independence of tho
Philippines, na was done In tho case of
Cuba,
AVo favor liberal pern-ions for nil de
hcrvhiB soldiers nnd sailors nnd their de
pendent widows nnd orphans.
AVo ccteiid ouj- hearty congratulations
to the newly established republic of Cuba,
Wo express our horror and deep regret
at tho monstrous crlmo which icmoved
from tho nation Its much 1ovd and
mourned president, William McKluley.
Tho tents of anarchy have no phico In
American Institutions.
The platform concludes with expres
sions of regret nt the death of former
Governor John P, Altgeld.
