THE PLACE TO START.
REV. DR. TALMAGE SAYS IT IS AT THE
CAPITAL.
i
He Says America Is Going to Be Taker j
For God and That the Place to Begin li :
In Washington?All Will Cry Amen tc
This.
Washington, Feb. 9.?The audience
of Dr. Talmage is thronged with the
chief men of the nation and people from
all parts, making this sermon most
timely. An hour and a half before the
doors open the people gather in the
street, and policemen keep the way open
for tho pewholders. The text chosen for I
today's discourse was Luke xxiv, 47,
"Roninninnf r?t. .Torncfilom "
~ ?
"There it is,"said the driver, and
we all instantly and excitedly rose in
the carriage to catch the first glimpse of
Jerusalem, so long the joy of the whole
earth. That city, coroneted with temple
and palace and radiant, whether
looked np at from the valley of Jeliosbaphat
or gazed at from adjoining hills,
was the capital of a great nation. Clouds
of incense had hovered over it. CharioTs
of kings had rolled through it. Battering
rams of enemies had thundered
against it. There Isaiah prophesied, and
Jeremiah lamented, and David reigned,
and Paul preached, and Christ was martyred.
Most interesting city ever built
since masonry rung its first trowel or
plumb line measured its first wall or
royalty swung its first scepter. What
Jerusalem was to the Jewish kingdom
Washington is to our own country?the
capital, the place to which all the tribes
come up, the great national heart whoso
throb sends life or death through tlio
body politic, clear out to the geographical
extremities.
Christ Will Reign There.
What the resurrected Christ said in
my text to his disciples when he ordered
them to start on the work of gospelization,
"beginning at Jerusalem," it
seems to me Cod says now in his providence
to tens of thousands of Christians
in this city. Start for the evangelization
of America,"beginning at Washington."
America is going to be taken for God.
If you do not believe it, take your hat
now and leave and give room to some
man or woman who does believe it. As
surely as God lives and be is able to do
as ho says he will this country will bo
evangelized from the mouth of the Potomac
to the mouth of the Oregou, from
the Highlands of Navesink to the Gold- !
en Horn, from Baffin's bay to the gulf
of Mexico, and Christ will walk every
lake, whether bestcrmed or placid, and
be transfigured on every mountain, and
the night skies, whether they hover over
groves of magnolia or over Alaskan
glacier, shall bo filled with the angelic
overture of "glory to God and goodwill
to men."
Again and again does the old book
announce that all the earth shall see the
salvation of God, and as tbo greater includes
the lesser that takes America
gloriously in. Can you not see that if
America is not taken for God by his
consecrated "people it will be taken for
Apollyon? The forces engaged on both
sides are so tremendous that it cannot
be a drawn battle. It is coming, the
Armageddon. Either the American Sabbath
will perish and this nation be
banded over to Herods and Ilildebrands
and Diocletians and Neros of baleful
power, and Alcoholism will reign, seated
upon piled up throne cf beer barrels, his
mouth foaming with domestic and na- i
tional curse, and crime will lift its unhindered
knife of assassination and rat- j
tie keys of worst burglary and wave |
torch cf widest conflagration, and our
cities be turned into Sodoms, waiting
for mighty tempest of firo and brimstone
and one tidal wave of abomination
will surge across the continent, or
our Sabbaths will take on more sancti- |
ty, and the newspapers will become :
apocalyptic wings of benediction, and
penitentiaries will be abandoned for
lack of occupants, and holiness and happiness,
twin son and daughter cf heaven,
shall walk through tbo laud and j
Christ reign over this nation either in j
person or by agency so glorious that the
whole country will be one clear, resounding
echo of heaven. It will be one j
or the other. By the throne of him who j
liveth forever and ever I declare it will j
be the latter. If the Lord will help me, |
as ho always does?blessed be his glorious
name?I will show you how a
mighty work of grace begun at Wash- j
iugton would have a tendency to bring i
the whole continent to God, and before
this century closes.
William the Conqueror ordered the
curfew, the custom of ringing the bell
at midnight, at which all the fires on
the hearths were to be banked, and all
the lights extinguished, and all the people
retire to their pillows. I pray God
that the curfew cf this century may not
be sounded, and the tires be banked, and
the lights extinguished as the clock
strikes the midnight hour that divides
the nineteenth century from the twentieth
century until this beloved laud,
which was to most of us a cradle and
which will bo to most of us a grave,
shall come into the full possession of
him who i3 so glorious that William tho
Conqueror could not bo compared to
him, even the One who rideth forth
"conquering and to conquer."
A Battle For Sonls.
Why would it be especially advanta- ;
geous if a mighty work of grace started
here, "beginning at Washington?"
First, because this city is on the border
between the north and the south. It is
neither northern nor southern. It com- |
mingles the two climates. It brings together
the two styles of population. Ic
is not only right, but beautiful, that
people should have especial love for the
latitude where they were born and j
brought up. With what loving accentuation
theAIabamian speaks of his orange !
groves! And the man from Massachusetts j
is sure to let yon know that he comes |
from t lie land of ihe Adamses?Samuel ;
and John and John Quincy. Did you j
ever kirjw a Virginian or Ohioan whose j
face did not brighten when lie announcThrsw
Away His Canes.
Mr. D. Wiley, ex postmaster. Black
Creek, X. Y., was so badly afflicted
with rheumatism ihat he was only
able to hobble around with canes, j
and even then it caused him great j
pain. After using Chamberlain s j
Pain Balm he was so much improved
that he threw away his canes. He
says this liniment did him more good i
than all other medicines and treatment
put together. For sale at oO

Four Big Successes.
Having the needed merit to more
than make good all the advertising
claimed for them, the following four
remedies have reached a phenomenal
sale. Dr. King's New Discover}', for
consumption, Coughs and Colds,
each bottle guaranteed?Electric
Bitters, the great remedy for Liver,
Stomach and Kidneys. Bucklen's |
Arnica Salve, the best in the world, ;
and Dr. King's New Life Pills, which |
are a perfect pill. All these reme- j
dies are guaranteed to do just what j
is claimed for them and the dealer
whose name is attached herewith
will be glad to tell you more of
them. Sold at G. M. Ilarman's

ed himself from tho southern or northern
stato of presidents? If a man does i
not like his native clime, it is because
while he lived there he did not behave
well. This capital stands where, by its
locality and its political influence, it
stretches forth one hand toward tho j
north and the other toward the south, j
and a mighty work of grace starting here 1
would probably be a national awaken- !
ing. Georgia would clasp the hand of
New Hampshire, and Maine the hand of
Louisiana, and California tho hand of
New York, and say, "Come, let us go up
and worship the God of nations, tho i
Christ of Golgotha, the Holy Ghost of j
the pentecostal three thousands." It has
often been said that the only way the
north and the south will be brought into
complete accord is to have a war with
some foreign nation in which both sections,
marching side by side, would forget
everything but the foe to be overcome.
Well, if you wait for such a
foreign conflict, you will wait until all
this generation is dead and perhaps wait
forever. The war that will make too
sections forget past controversies is a
war against unrighteousness, such as a
uuiversal religious awakening would I
declare. What we want is a battle for
souls in which abont 40,000,000 north- !
erners and southerners shall be on the
same side and shoulder to shoulder. In
no other city on the continent can such a
war bo declared so appropriately, for all
the other ureat cities are either north- I
era or southern. This is neither, or j
rather it is both.
Religion Among Statesmen.
Again, it would be especially advantageous
if a mighty work of grace started
here, because more representative
men are in Washington than in any other
city between the oceans. Of course
thero are accidents in politics, and occasionally
there are men who get into the
senate and house of representatives and
other important places who are fitted
for tho positions in neither head nor
heart, but this is exceptional and more j
exceptional now than in other days.
There is not a drunkard in the national
legislature, although there were times
when Kentucky, Virginia, Delaware, .
Illinois, New York and Massachusetts
had men in the senate or house of representatives
who were maudlin and staggering
dv-.mk across those high places.
Never nofcler group of men sat in senate
or house or representatives than sat there
yesterday and will sit there tomorrow,
while the highest judiciary, without exception,
Las now upon its bench men
beyond criticism for good morals and
mental endowment. So in all departments
of official position, with here and
thero an exception, are today the brainiest
men and most honorable men of
A "hir\x\* L-Tinnncn * tin TTolxr fiVincf.
power should fall upon this city, and
thesu men from all parts of America
should suddenly become pronounced for
Christ. Do you say the effect would be
electrical? More than that. It would be
omnipotent. Do you say that such
learned and potent men are not wrought
upou by religious influence? That shows
you have not observed what has been
going on.
Commodore Foote, representing the (
navy; General Grant and Robert E.
Lee, representing the northern and j
southern armies; Chief Justice Chase, j
representing the supremo court; the j
Frelinghuysens,Theodore and Frederick, !
representing the United States senate; !
William Pennington and scores of oth- |
ers, representing the house of representatives,
have surrendered to that gospel,
which before this winter is out will in '
this capital of the Americau nation, if
we are faithful in our prayers and exertions,
turn into the kingdom of God
men of national and international power,
their tongues of eloquence becoming
the tongues of fire in another Pentecosr.
There are on yonder hill those who by ;
the grace of God will become John i
Knoxes and Chrysostoms and Fenelons j
and Bourdeleaus, when once regenerated.
There is an illusion I have heard in I
prayer meetiugs and heard in pulpits, j
that a scral is a soul?one soul worth as i
much as another. I deny it. The soul j
of a man who can bring 1,000 or 10,000
other souls into the kingdom of God is
worth 1,Q00 times or 10,000 times more
than the soul of a man who can bring
no one into the kingdom. A great outpouring
of the Holy Spirit in this capital,
reaching the chief men of America,
would be of more value to earth and
heaven than in any other part of the nation,
because it would reach all the j
states, cities, towns and neighborhoods '
of the continent. Oh, for the outstretch- I
ed right arm of God Almighty in the i
salvation of this capital!
A Look backward.
Some of us remember 1857, when at
tho close of the worst monetary distross
this country has ever felt, compared
with which the hard times of the last :
llirtfy Jt'ttrs wtio a uu'jiu kjl piunpciio > i
right on the heels of that complete pros- I
tration came an awakening in which j
500,000 people wero converted in differ- i
ent states of the Union. Do you know !
where one of its chief powers was dem- |
onstraled? In Washington. Do yon
know on what street? This street. Do i
you know in what church? This church. |
I picked up an old book a few days ago
and was startled and thrilled and en- I
chanted to read some words, written at j
that time by the Washington correspondent
of a 2s ew York paper. Ho j
wrote: "The First Presbyterian clmrch j
can scarce contain the people. Requests I
are daily preferred for au interest in the '
prayers offered, and the reading of these ;
forms one of the tenderest and most ef- |
fective features of the meetings. Partieu- J
lar pains are taken to disclaim and ex- j
elude everything like sectarian feeling. I
General astonishment is felt at the unexpected
rapidity with which the work
has thus far proceeded, and we are beginning
to anticipate the necessity of
opening another church." Why, my
hearers, not have that again, and more
than that? There aro many thousands
more of inhabitants now than then. Bosides
that, since then uro the telephone,
with itssemiomnipresence, and the swift j
cable car for assembling the people. I ;
believe that the mightiest revival of ro- i
I ligion that this citv has over seen is vet !
i to come, and the earth will tremble from j
I Capitolino hill to the boundaries on all
j sides with tho footsteps of God as he
, comes to awaken and paidon and save
j these great populations.
People of Washington, meet us next j
Thursday night, at half past 7 o'clock,
I to pray for this coining of the Holy !
j Ghost?not for a pcntccostnl 3,000 that j
I have referred to, but 30,000. Such a j
fire as that would kindle a light that
would be seen from the sledges crunching
through the snows of Labrador to
the Caribbean sea,where the whirlwinds
are born. Let our cry be that of Habak- j
kuk, the blank verse poet of the Bible, !
"O Lord, revive thy work in tho midst |
of the years, in the midst of the years
make known; in wrath remember
mercy." Let the battJecrybo Washington
for God, the Uuitcd States for God,
America for God, the world for God!
We are all tired of skirmishing. Let ns I
bring on a general engagement. We are J
tired of fishing with hook and line.
With one sweep of tho gospel net let us
take in many thousands. This vast work
must begin somewhere. Why not hero?
Some one must give the rallying cry,
why may not I, one of the Lord's servants?
By providential arrangemeut, I
am every week in sermonic communication
with every city, town and neighborhood
of this country, and I now give
the watchword to north and south and
east and west. Hear and see it, all people?this
call to a forward movement,
this call to repentance and faith, this
call to a continental awakening!
Mighty Men of the Past.
This generatron win soon be ont 01 j
sight. Where are the mighty men of the I
past who trod your Pennsylvania avenuo
and spake in yonder national legislature
and decided the stupendous questions of
the supremo judicatory? Ask the sleepers
in the Congressional cemetery. Ask
the mausoleums all over the land. Their
tongues are speechless, their eyes closed,
their arms folded, their opportunities
gone, their destiny fixed. How soon
time prorogues parliaments and adjourns
senates and disbands cabinets and empties
pulpits and dismisses generations!
What we would do we must do quickly
or not do at all. I call upon people who
cannot come forth lrom their sickbeds
to implore the heavens in our behalf
from their midnight pillows, and I call
upon the aged who cannot, even by the
help of their staff, enter the churches
to speud their last days on earth in supplicating
the salvation of this nation,
and I call upon all msu and women
who have been in furnaces of trouble, as
was Shadrach, and among lions, as was
Daniel, and in dungeons of trouble, as
was Jeremiah, to joiu in the prayer, and
let the church of God everywhere lay
hold of the Almighty arm that moves I
nations. Then senators of the United
States will announce to the state legislatures
that sent them here, and members
of the bouse of representatives will
report to the congressional districts that
elected them, and the many thousands
of men and women now and hero en
gagea iu me xxiciuy uepiiriiiicu ic ui uutional
service will write homo, telling
all sections of the country that the Lord
is here aud that ho is on the march for
th9 redemption of America. Halleluiah,
the Lord is coming ! I hear the rumbling
of his chaiiot wheels. I feel on my
chocks tho breath cf the white horses 1
that draw the Victor! 1 see the flash of
his lanterns through the long night of
tho world's sin and sorrow !
We want in this country, only on a
larger scale, that which other centuries
have seen cf God's workings, as in the
reformation cf the sixteenth century,
when Martin Lulher and Philip Mclanchthon
led on ; as in the awakening of
the seventeenth century, when Banyan j
and Havel aud Baxter led on; as in the
awakening of tho eighteenth century,
when Tennant and Edwards aud tho
Wesleys led on; as in the awakening of
1857, led on by Matthew Simpson, the
seraphic Methodist, and Bishop MacIlvaiue,
the apostolic Episcopalian, and
Albert Barnes, the consecrated Presbyterian,
and others just as good in all
denominations. Oh, will not some of
thoso glorious souls of the past come
down and help ns? Come down off your
thrones, Net tleton and Finney and Daniel
Baker and Edward Payson and Truman
Osborne and Enrle aud Knapp and Inskip
and Archibald Alexander?that Alexander
the Great of the Christian
churches. Come down ! How can you
rest up there whc-u the world is dying
for lack cf the gospel? Come duyvn and
agonize with us in prayer. Come down
and help us preach in our pulpits. Come
down and inspire our courage and faith.
Heaven can get along without you bet- j
ter than wc can. But more than all, and I
ivi t li ? ororonf nnini inn Wft i
ask it, come, thou of the deeply dyed
garments of Bozrah, traveling in the
greatness of thy strength, mighty to
save! Lord God of Joshua, let the sun
of this centnry stand still above Gibeon
and the moon above the valley of
Ajaion until we can whip out the five
kings of hell, tumbling them down the
precipices as the other five kings went
over the rocks to Bethboron. Ha! Ha!
It will so surely be done that I cannot
restrain the laugh of triumph.
A Call to the Pulpits.
From where the seaweed is tossed on | ,
the beach by the stormy Atlantic to j .
the sands laved by the quiet Pacific this
country will be Emanuel's land, the '
work beginning at Washington, if we j
have the faith and holy push and the i
consecration requisite. First of all, we |
ministers must get right. That was a
startling utterance of Mr. Swiunock
when he said, "It is a doleful thing to j
fall into hell from under the pulpit; but, !
oh, how dreadful a filing to drop thither | ,
out of the pulpit." That was an all sug- I
gestive thing that Paul wrote to the j
Corinthians, "Lest that by any means,

when I have preached to others, I myself
should be a castaway." That was an inspiring
motto with which Whitefield
sealed all his letters, "We seek the
stars." Lord God, wake up all our pulpits,
and then it will be as when Venn
preached, and it was said that men fell
before the word like slacked lime. Let
us all, laymen and clergymen, to the
work. What Washington wants ruost of
all is an old fashioned revival of religion,
but on a vaster scale, so that the
world will never be eompellc-d to say as
of old, "Wo never saw it 011 this fash- i
ion." But remember there is a human
side as well as a divine side to a revival.
Those of us brought up in the conn- !
try know what is called "a raising"?
the neighbors gathered together to lift
the heavy frame for a new house after
the timbers aro ready to be pnt into j
their places. It is dangerous work, and
there are mnnv accidents. The neich
bors had gathered for such a raising, i
and the beams had all been fitted to
their places except 0110, and that very
heavy. That one, on the long pikes of
tho men, had almost reached its place
when something went -wrong, and the j
men could hoist it no higher. But if it
did not go in its place it would fall back
upon tho men who wero lifting it. It
had already begun to settle back. Tho I
boss carpenter shouted: "Lift, men, or
die! All together! Yo, heave!"
With mightier push they tried to send i
the beam to its place, but failed. Still ?
they held on, all the time their strength
lessening. Tho wives and mothers and
daughters stood in horror looking on.
Then the boss carpenter shouted to the
women, "Come and help!" They came,
and womanly arms became the arms of j
giants, for they were lifting to save the
lives of husbands and fathers and sons,
as well as their own. Then the boss carpenter
mounted one of the beams and
shouted: "Now! Altogether! Lift or
die! Yo, heave!" And with a united
effort that almost burst tho blood ves- r
eels, the great beam weut to its place
and a wild huzza was heard. That is
the way it sometimes eeems iu the
churches. Temples of righteousness are j
to be reared, but thero is a halt, a stop,
a catch somewhere. A few are lifting
ji 11 thoT r?im hnfc \va wniit: mnr? hrmds
VM"? ~ ?v j
at this raising, and more hearts, more i
Christian men to help?aye, more Christian
women to re enforce. If the work |
fail, it means the death of many souls, j
All together, men and women of God!
Lift or die! The top stone must come to ,
its place "with shoutings of grace, grace
unto it." God is ready to do his part;
are we ready to do our part? There is
work not only for the knee of prayer, j

come iu and bring your children with
you. Newly married folks, consecrate
your lifetime to God, and be married
for eternity as well as time. Young j

now. Young woman, without God this |
is a hard world for women. One and
all, wherever you sit or stand, I lift my
voice so that you can hear it, out in the
corridors and on the street, and say, in j
the words of the Mediterranean ship
captain, "Call upon thy God, if so be
that God will think upon us, that wo
perish not." Oh. what news to tell,
what news to relate to yor.r old father
and mother, what news to telegraph j
your friends on the other side of the
mountains, what news with which to
thrill your loved ones in heaven! It was
cJ such news that a man read in a noonday
meeting in Philadelphia. He arose,
and unrolling a manuscript read:
Where'er we meet, you always say:
"What's the news? What's the news?
Pray what's the order of the day?
What's the news? What's the news?"
Oh, I have got good news to tell?

INCREASING PARK AREAS.
Extcnhlon In Size and Number of che Plea**
nre Ground* of American Cities.
At the time of the acquisition of the j
uew and extensive parks in tho annexed j
district (provided for by an act of the I
legislature in 1S84 and legally acquired j
and paid for in 1889) New York city j
had only 1,094 acres of park land, com- |
pared with an area of 3,000 acres in
Philadelphia and 3,000 in Chicago,
among American cities, and 5,000 acres
in Berlin, 8,000 in Vienna, 22,000 in
London and 172,000 in Paris. Tho insufficiency
of New York's park area had
led to the appointment of a special commission
for the acquisition of new park
lands, and these were acquired to tho
extent of 3,800 additional acres, at a
total cost to the city of $9,800,000, exclusive
of the sums paid for the smaller
parks in the more thickly populated
parts of the town, the last of these sites
being at Mulberry bend and C'orlears
Hook. With these acquisitions tho park
area of New York is 5,174 acres.
A similar increase in the park area of
other American cities has been noticed
recently. Chicago has four parks of more
than 200 acres each?Jackson park, the
site of the World's fair; Washington
park, not very far from it; Lincoln park,
in the north end cf town, and Humboldt
park, on tho West Side. Cleveland has in
a short time increased its park area
from 200 to 900 acres by tho purchase
of land for small parks in six districrs
of town. St. Loais has a park area of
2,100 acres, San Francisco 1,190, and
Philadelphia 8,175. The park area of
Baltimore, which was 700 acres seven
years ago, is now 911, including Druid
Hill park, one of the finest in the United
States. The extension of the park system
in American cities has been so rapid
of late that only four large cities had on
Jan. 1 more than 1,000 population to an
acre of park area within their municipal
limits. Of these four cities, one, Cleveland,
has already acquired additional
park laud; another, Indianapolis, has a
large park for the use of its inhabitants
a little beyond the city line and, a
third, Brooklyn, has a commission, authorized
by an act of the legislature in
1892 to acquire land for park purposes.
By the annexation of the former county
towns of Kings county which are now
an integral part of the city of Brooklyn
130 additional acres have been added to
the former 630 of park land, exclusive
of either the Ocean or the Eastern parkway.
The area of Prospect park is 520
acres, and Brooklyn has, besides, half
a dozen small parks, of which Washington
park is the largest. The city of Newark
is behind other American municipalities
in park area, a deficiency which,
it is said, the Trenton legislature at this
year's session will be asked to correct by
the appointment of a commission with
authority to buy additional land.
One legislative condition which is favorable
to the extension of park areas in
American cities is the practice of providing
for purchases by the issuance of
bonds to be paid at a future date, and
only the annual interest on which is to
be met from the proceeds of taxation.
By this means park lands may be secured
without additional burdens upon the
taxpayers of any city, and taxpayers, it
is well known, are not at all reluctant
to incur obligations which others will
liquidate. All over the United States,
in the west as well as in the south,
where the facilities for parkmaking are
perhaps better than anywhere else, the
size and number of parks are being increased
and tho landscape beauties of
parks developed and extended.?New

A Forgotten Fortune.
One of the great capitalists m New
York, a man whoso achievements by
reason of their magnitude canse his
namo to bo as familiar to the public as
that of almost any man in New York,
went into the safo deposit vaults cue
day and gavo to tho manager an envelope
which he said contained 2,000

not want to put this stock in his vault i
for reasons best known to himself. The j
envelope was given to an employee, who
did not know its contents, who was instructed
to place it in his own private
vault until called for, and with that arrangement
the capitalist seemed content.
A few mouths later this capitalist was
in a great state of mind. Ho could not
find anywhere among his possession a
block of 2,000 shares of Northwestern
stock. He could not say whether it had
been lost or stolen. At last he gave a
bond to the railroad company and received
for it new stock, and the old issue
was canceled.
At the beginning of the following
year the deposit company's employee
asked that he might be relieved of the i
responsibility of caring for the cap- i
italist's envelope, although he did i
not know what it contained. The
capitalist was sent tor and the envelope
given to him. He himself received the
envelope in apparent ignorance of its j
contents until he opened it and found j
within the missing 2,000 shares of the j
par value of $200,000. The whole trans- j
action was an utter blank to him. If he I
had been a man of intemperate habits it j
might have been explained, but he is j
practically a total abstainer.?Philadelphia

Ben's Hot Words.
They were Not Altogether Without
Precedent, Says T. R. R. Cobb.
Atlanta (' nstitutiou.
I have read Tillman's speech from
the Congressional Record. It is a
terrible arraignment. Neither admitting
nor denying his bold charges,
I maintain that there is not one word
of blackguardism in the speech?bis
language comes with the precedents
made by America's greatest Senators,
and is no harsher than that used in
debate by the foremost statesmen of
other countries. Furthermore, from
an American standpoint, bis words
were not even unparliamentary,
used as they were, and when they
were. To prove these assertions, I
would first quote the Constitution of
the United States, where it says:
"The Senate shall have the sole
power to try all impeachments. Each
house may determine the rules of
proceedings, punish its members for
disorderly behavior, and with the
coDcurence of two-thirds, expel a
member." Therefore, the only "parliamentary
law" of force in the Senate
is the code of rules made by
the Senate. Tillman has broken none
of these, else there would be a motion
at least to punish or expel him.
For, if Ben Tillman has behaved the
blackguard in our Senate, his fellow
members are derelict in duty."false
to oaths, and particeps erimiuus to
blackguardism, if they sat dumb and
idle and interested during the performance.
So, it is fair to presume
Tillman broke no present rule of the
Senate, and therefore he was parliamentary
within the Senatorial sense
of the phrase. For comparison I
have chosen the roughest of Tillman's
utterances; they are as follows:
"Besotted tyrant," "Bull headed and
self idolatrous man," "Judas from
Kentucky," "Vanity and obstinacy,"
"Process of debauchery," "Why
1 i * L-J |T: 9" uTl.?
nave you not, impeucueu lulu: xlic
Supreme Court, by oue corrupt vote."
Now for precedents! John Randolph
said, in that same Senate, of President
Adams and Secretary Clay:
"This puritanic?diplomatic black
legged administration.'' Henry Clay
said in the same Senate of President
Jackson: "What security have
we against the lawlessness of any
President?" The people have been
betrayed, insulted: their interests betrayed."
"To propiiate President
we bee approaching tyranny." "May
I live to see the people rescue the
public treasury from this pillage."
John C. Calhoun said of President
Jacksou in that same Senate: "He
Las entered the Treasury with the
false keys of sophistry, as a pilferer
under the silence of midnight." "The
corruptions and encroachment of the
executive." After these speeches,
the Senate passed a resolution, by
majority, condemning Jackson. As
such speech was not unparliamentary
there and then, many S< nators have
used such language directly against
colleagues. For instance Ben Hill
on Mahone: "The people will not
tolerate treachery," "False to a trust,1
'foiled with dishonor," etc. Ingalls
sc d in the Senate of one Cleveland's
fo ir.er edietaries: "A more degraded,
In: thsomc, execrable and detestable
utterance never came from any pubic
official.*' Old Hoar interrupted
Ben Hill, just like he did Ben Tillman.
Berrien said in that same Senate:
"The administration and its al
lies give currency to these calumnies,''
while ForsUk said in the
house: "A stupendous fraud is intended
by the Secretary cf War."
"To call it a biibc would shock his
delicacy, just as Cowper's preachers
'could not mention hell to ears polite."'"Profitable
schemes of villiany!"
Sir John Elliott, iu 1G2S, said in the
House of Commons: "The ignorance
and corruption of ministers." "If
you survey the count, the bar and
bench show our disease to be desperate!"
Chatham said of Prime Minister
Walpole: "By his ignorance and
wickedness." "His weak, pusillanimous
and wretched measures:"
So I could go on and on quoting
English and Irish statesman. Who
can forget the close of Grattan's
great invective? "The merchant may
say cf you, the constitutionalists
may say of you, the American may
say of you, and I, I now say, and say
to your beard, sir, you are not an
honest man!"
Did not L. Q. C. Lamar say in the
United States Senate such awful
- -- ? i
woids of Cockling, that i.e nimsen i
described them thus: "I have said of
you what no good man deserves and
no brave man will bear?" "Was Lamar
a blatkguard? Did not Cleveland
make him a Supreme Court
judge? Has not justice Brown used ;
the epithet, "Sordid despotism of :
wealth?" Does not Mr. Carlisle's !
eloquence abound in anathemas, no !

denounce certain legislation as a j
cowardly makeshift?" Does not j
President Cleveland himself speak j
right out sometimes7 Did he not once j

These are but few illustrations and 1
authorities from high sources that ;

could point to stronger speech, but j
these will do. L(t men and Sena- j

was a "blackguard?" Iustc-ad of i
