Some Rambling Thoughts.

i Vp righted by Diiwp & TalsT.)
To Virmis, HI: Firmly do
we believe in the national heart,
and t lint its beats are true with de
sire for national health and great
ness. .Iti-t as we have confidence
in the depth and purity of the great
ocean, though perhaps only a tew
muddy wavelets come near our feet
along the bench ; so do we Kok in
liiith down through the troubled
surface of political life to the great
IkkIv in whom we trust. We must
lielieve in ourselves, in our possible
glory, in our destiny as a republic,
in the peaceful development ot self
government by self-governing hosts,
tor can we not detect in our very
geography the tracings of a mighty
purpose, and in our history can we
not hear the actual foot-fall of the
Almighty? Without faith in your
self you individually will become a
-weakling, and a non-entity; without
faith in our nation, a weakening
element in its life-blood. When !e
lief jK-rishes, we perish ; for the I re
lief oft lie heart inoldeth the outer
life. When the vision of heights
imattained still stretches Wore us,
h.-innv are we as a nation. Out of
jr.
obscurity comes a voiee to your ear
pleading for "Faith, more faith!!"
lint we are in prolbuud danger.
From striving parlies and conflict
ing ideas ? No, a thousand times !
Parties are balance wheels, and par
tics are (safety valves. Sjnaiking
broadly, the irty with an idea,
when in is always conservative le
.use of the watchfulness of the
jwrty that is out. The party oui is

to make it ; though when jiowcr is
placed in its hands, it immediately
develops carefulness, because it is
brought face to face with burdens
i
that are visible only from within,
Thus each party is really engaged
in paving the way for a later
triumph of the other. This action
and re-action in national lite, like
activity 'and U'ij in the human
liody, make us steadily progressive.
If no unnatural means are used to
suppress the expression of the
people's thought, this ebbing and
flowing of public opinion isas much
to Ik- expected as the tides of the sea.
And in the ebb and flow is health,
for no party ever can or ever will
gather into its ranks all the good
and wise and upright.
In danger from leaders? No;
leaders are natural. Men gather
more eagerly around an idea with a
man kick of it, tliau they do around
a mere thought standing by itself.
At heart we are all hero-worshipers
; we cling to those who embody
our thought. May the Weigher of
Nations raise up more standard bear
ers! We need not doubt lie will,
lor hitherto the seed-time and har
vest oi great-hearts and great-souls
have tailed us.
THE LKADEU.
When shall we And the uian to guide the state,
Like skilful mariner who knowi the tew,
The rocks, the shoals, nd steers hie ship with
cane,
Pant danger! that are looming: near and great.
Or like an ambushed foe, in silence wait ;
Who holds his constant crew iu duty bound,
Nor spares himself to keep his vessel sound,
But meets with equal mind unequal fate 7
A leader such aa this must be a man
Honest In purpose, pure in life and thought.
Free from mere party rule ; In danger's hour,
Strong to put forth and furnish all be can
For others' good ; not willing to be bought
By any love of wealth, or praise, or power.
Yet 'there is poison in the veins
ot the body politic It threatens the
liberty for which our fathers fought.

that watered our l.irtlipiace uiui
blood when men demanded ttieir
right to lie represented. That poi
son is HOStsISM. Think for n
; moment what things Iwsses set out
to accomplish and you will realize
how abhorrent such people are to
the American instinct. A lxss has
no genuine jKilitical U'liels; he will
as gladly deal with the lossofa dif
ferent stamp, as he will listen to Lis
own heljiers. Unlike leaders who
are culled forth by the compelling
voice of a people who recognize
merit, hisses are the cunning users
ot fortuitous circumstances. Placed
in some temporary position of power,
the Ikkss plots to make his hold per
manent and panders to the lowest
instincts ofgreed in gathering around
him cringing sycbpliauts reudy to do
his will. A boss will sit down
months before a campaign and plot
while men of upright thought are all
unsuspicious. His followers will
" fix up " primaries, rush through
"slates " unbroken, " pack " conven
tions and so make our glorious her
itage of free and unbiassed voting a
mere farce and a mockery. Not ne
cessarily and himself holding public
office, the lioss places public men
under such obligations to himself
that they yield him unqestioning
olxsdicncc. Offices willbe filled by
him with greedy men who divide
with him the spoils, for tho sake of
his continued maintenance of them
in their positions. These are they
who have made the stock-gambling
of our Senate a possibility, a' shame
and a scandal to the nation-- These
are -they who have degraded politics

These are thev who sell legislation
