The revolt in the republican
party against corruption, hav-
ing failed of results, the ava
ricions hordes of office holders
gave thems«*lve over to a sy ros -
tern of political debauchery,
never before known in Ameri
can history. Mr. Hepburn a
republican congressman from
Iowa, afterward said that so
corrupt had national politics
become during Grant's admin-
istration. that a buzzard fifing
over Washington, would have
been nausiated thereby.
These conditions brought
ed in the election of a demo-
cratic majority in congress in
1874, and Samuel J. Randall, of
Pensylvania, was elected
speaker.

government, had aroused con-

I deem it fit tine on thla occasion, while
indicating the opinions I hold concerning
public questions at preeent importance, to
alao briefly refer to the existence of certain
conditions and tendencies among our peo-
ple which neem to menace the integrity
and usefulness of this government. While
every American citizen must contemplate
with pride and enthusiasm the growth
and expansion of our country, the suf-
ficiency of our institutions to stand
against the rudest shock of violence, the
wonderful thrift and enterprise of our
people and the demonstrated superiority
of o ir free government, it behoovee us
constantly to watch for every aymptom of
insidious Infidelity that thrantena our
national vigor.
The strong man who ia In the "viilMtuftt
of sturdy health courts the sternest ac-
tivities of life and rejoices in the hardi-
hood of constant labor may still have
lurking near his vitala, unheeded, a dis-
ease that doom* him to sudden collapee.
It cannot be doubted that our stupendous
achievements as a people and oar coun-
try's robust strength have given rise to
the heedlessness of thorn laws governing
our national life which we can no more
erade than human life can escape the laws
of God snd of nature.
Manifestly there is nothing more vital
to our supremacy as a nation and to tbe
beneficent purposee of our government
than a sound and stable currency. Its ex-
posure to degradation should at once
arouse to activity the moet enlightened
statesmanship, and the danger of depre-
ciation in the purchasing power of wages
paid to toil should furnish the strongest
incentive to prompt and conservative pre-
caution. In dealing with our present em-
Ijarrojwing situation a* related to this
subject, we will be wise if we temper our
confidence and faith in our national
strength and resources with the frank
concession that even these will not per-
mit us to antagonize with impunity tne
inexorable laws of finance and trade.
At the same time, in our efforts to ad-
just difference* in opinion, we should free
from intolerance or paaston, and our Judg
ment should be unmoved by alluring
phrases and un vexed by selfish interests.
I am confident much an approach to the
subject will result in prudent and effect-
ire remedial legislation. In the meantime,
a* far a.* the executive branch of tbe gov-
ernment r*n intervene, none of the powers
with which it i« invested will be withheld
when their exercise is deemed necessary to

Even if insuperable obstacle* and opposi-

we shall hardly l e excused, and if a fail-

we may l e sure the people will hold us to

After an absence • f 10 years Roy Fage
retnrned to his native village. He wa.ked
slowly by i be brown house where he uned
to live. He scarcely recognized it now. for
it had been [tainted red, and the two elms
near the door had been cut down. Stran-
gers were look;ng out of the windows. He
called ou his old friend* one by oe, impa-
tient to receive their greeting.
The minister did not know him at first.
Then be said; "What a change I Vou must
have proMpered. You look 1(1 yean younger
than when you went sway, Hoy."
He called on the grocer, who said sol-
emnly: "1 can hardly believe it Is you.
You must have suffered. You look 20 years
older than when you left us, Roy."
He met in the street Farmer Hale, who
did not stop. Roy cried, "I'm Roy, who
lived with you all one summer!"
The farmer stared at him awhile snd
said: "Msybe you are, but you've changed
a right good bit. You weigh 90 pounds
more than when you lived here, Roy."
He called on the lawyer, who, after put-
ting on his spectacles, said: "Yes, yes, 1
have a fsint recollection of you. But bow
thin and lank you have grown"'
He saw hitched to a post in the street the
old white horse which his family used to
pwn, and which he had fed so often tbst
at the sound of Lis footsteps the horse
would neigh for the expected hay or oets.
Roy went up to his old friend. The boras
stepped back as from a stranger.
Roy, saddened by changes everywhere,
suddenly met face to face a little old man,
who at once grasped his band warmly and
■aid:
"Roy, old boy, how natural you look!
You haven't changed a bit. I should have
known yon in China. The |5 you borrowed
from me 10 years ago—would you have the
kindness—could you oblige me now?"—
