It hits often boon said that the litilf

but the pioinotlon of a sentiment that
will allow him an opportunity lo enter

lay night, whMi,
ov Injr io the lateness of the hour,
did not receive the. degiec of intention
In the in es reportsi that It would have,
leeched had It ocotured earlier In the
evening, was the etttaordlnuiy demon
stration of uppiovut elicited by Ihe
concluding portion of thy speech of
President Oeoige V. Daer. The ev'en
itig's How ot oiiuory had hern without
especial Incident up lo the time that
the reputed head of the alleged coal
tuist arose to peak of the principles
ot government In Pennsylvania. Up to
that time the toasts lind been hugely
In the vein of pleunantvy and humoi.
When Mr. liner began there seemed to
pass over tho huge and tepiesentntlve
company, Including many of tho foio
most men In tlie commercial, industilal
and professional life of New Yoik, cm
intuition that something out ot the or-
dlnnty coming.
Mr, Unor made, no feints at phi) fill
lies". He plunged at once into Ihe
midst of his subjei t, tracing the Influ
ence of William Penn's docttlne in tol
einncc upon the development of I'onn
svlvanla's colonial inslltutlons unci upon
the ffieat charter upon which her state
hood was btiilded, a. fuudamculal piop
osltlon in which was the right to ac
nulre and protect pinpetty. He
called atlontlon to the fact that one
of the doctrines of constitutional lib
el ty as exemplified in tlie constitution
of Pennsylvania and the constitution of
the United States was tlie right of the
state to legulato her own Internal af
falis", without outside inteiferencc or
prcssute, and he predicted with solemn
emphasis that tlie modern attempt to
luke fiom the states this local auton
omy would be rejected by the final judg
ment of the Amei lean people after the.
letuin of sober thought and the reas
seitlon of their common sense. Then,
speaking with intense earnestness and
fail ly quivering, lie continued:
"I lemember when a boy In the fifties
coming out of school ohe day as an
excited populace was shouting 'In
giaham1' 'Ingialiam!' and hearing on
a stieet corner the late Jetemlah S.
Black haninguing an audience of 3,000
townsmen In passionate elociuence.
amidst tliundeious applause. I asked
my father what it meant, and lie told
me how Captain Ingialiam, on the wnr
ship St. Louis, in the harbor of Trieste,
had demanded of the Austrian govern
ment the sui render of Martin Koszta,
who, two vears befoie, had deciuied his
intention of becoming an Ameiiean cit
i?en and who, upon leturning to Aus
tna, had been nueted and thrown in
to prison. Koszta, though foreign born
and only started on the way townid
Ameiiean citizenship, was deemed en
titled to the protection of his govern
ment m a far oft place to such uu ex
tent Unit gallant Captain Ingraham,
against tlie guns of the Austiian forts
and fleet, cleared ship for action and
would have tought had not tlie Aus
tiians thought disci etlon tlie better patt
of valor and suuendeied theit pilsonei
peaeeablv .
"Again, onlv a few jeais latet, I
mulched through the greatest war in
history, in which men by the thousands
fell on eveiy hand for the puipose of le
movlng the one gient blot on our na
tional escutcheon i nused by holding
working black men in bondage. And it
was leseived for one of the children of
tlie plain people, who rose by virtue of
ills own rosotnees and meiit to the po
sition of chief magistrate of his counti v
and greatest of all tho gtoat Americans
of his time or any lime, Abraham Lin
coln, to put his pen to the immortal
document which foiever secuied, as was
suppo-eri, the fieedom of Ameiiean ki
boi. "How Is It today? With shame do I
say that we have leeently seen, not one
man foielgn liout put into dm ess be
foie the aceiuiiement of rull Ameiiean
citizenship, noi black men held In slav
ery, but hundietls, yes thousands or fol
low citUcns, fiee-born heie at home,
and supposed to be assured of the full
protection of our constitution and oui
laws, denied the light to earn tlieh
honest living while the government of
Pennsylvania and even the government
of the United Stales stood idly by, and
politicians pnlteied. I say to jou to
night that ihis light lo woik,
ainoiiL, the smallest of the nat
ui al lights for the piotection
of which government was founded,
must be le-established and ie-defended
nnri that if necessary the whole power
of the .government must be used to
strike down tlie hand that would de
sltov it"
The scene which followed will long be
lememheied. Tt was diamatlc and ex
citing lo an extraordinary degree. The
olum of applause which followed the
development of Mr. Bner's argument
lose at id- climax to a legular ton eat
of, din Men ioo and stood on chahs
waving handkerchiefs and shouting.
The applause latc-d for minutes and
then lepealedlv lenevvtd itself amidst
calls of "Daer!" "Uaer!" Those famil
iar with the history or aftei -dinner
speuklng in the metiopolls say that the
demonstration has had few paiallels.
The dinner JUcK was n notable one
aside fiom this ill .turn tic and unexpect
ed featuie. The Pennsylvania Society
of New Yoik, although only four years
old the youngest, In tact, of the state
societies founed among men diawn to
tho big city by business irnsous has
become in sUo and cliaiat'ter of niein
beisiiip easily on a par with the oldest.
Its 450 menibeis, with their guests',
lllled tho spacious ball-ioom ol the
Waldoif-Aslotla and, amidst hanri
somo decoiatlons in follnje and ilow
eis, and beneath the gaze of beautiful
and be.uttiiully gowned women spec
tator In the, balconies, presented n

The bonvfiiihs, too, worn unique

Jumim Educational Contest
A Contest In Word-Building.
Who Can Make the Most 'Words Out of tltc Letters In
T-H-E H-O-M-E P-A-P-E-R.
THIS IS much easier than last year's contest, and twenty of the
brightest boys and girls will seenre Chrismas Gifts In cash for
making the largest number of words out of these letters. It Is
lots of fun to think of the words and hunt them up In the dictionary, and
besides it will help you with your spelling. You will be surprised at the
number of different ways these twelve letters can be used.
Rules of the Contest.
Presents will be given to the boys or girls, whose parents or guard
ians are subscribers to THE TRIBUNE, building the largest number of
words out of the letters contained in "The Home Paper."
No letter must be used any more times than they appear In these
three words. As an example, only one "A" could be used, but there
might be two "H's" or three "E's."
Only words defined in the MAIN PORTION of "Webster's Inter
national Dictionary" (edition of 1898) will be allowed. Any dictionary
can be used, but in judging the contest THE TRIBUNE will debar all
words not found In Webster's.
Proper names, or any other words appearing in the "Appendix" will
not be allowed.
Obsolete vords are admitted if defined in the dictionary.
Words spelled two or more ways can be used but once.
Words with two or more definitions can be used but once.
No single letters counted as words except "A" and "O."
How to Urite Your List.
Write on one side of the paper only.
Write very plainly ; if possible, use a typewriter.
Place the words alphabetically.
Write your name, age, address and number of words at the top
of your list.
Write the name of parent or guardian with whom you live and
who is a regular subscriber to THE TRIBUNE.
