?CHOL.AB? ANO ('ITI'/.KftS. tVUe \\.ir.ls LU I he X.ntnri? Of Our Oovrrmiirnt and Iii? Only ol VoUUg Mm. Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, in the course of a recent address (o students at Hamilton Collcgo, said: "It is Impossible lar one who may call himself a veteran lo CODX3 before an* audience of youilg men without thinking of their lutiire and the (Uttiro of their country. Boys are apt lo think that il ?hov had lived ia*tho past they would have stood hy Luther, have stood hv Cromwell, have stood hy Christ. I am liol sure they would. Most ol' the men of I hose times did not. Hut even now Christ is con stantly hoing crucified, constantly needs defenders. I ile not believe !n this discontent wit h the present, nor in this agitation for constant change. There' Is one thing you may be certain of, we arc hound Irrevocably to the expeliiiici'.t ol' ti government under which wo shall have universal suffrage. Soil is well for you ?is thinking men lo examine, not only "your religious belief, but also your political belief. Orcat Britain is di ivie}.: ahead like a ship in a gale. Men forget that tho constitution ol Englaud is not so perfect as our own. There is not so safo and conservai ive a government bl thc world lus ours. In forty-eight hours an unruly parliament COU ld clfcct ll revolution und overthrow the government of Creal Bri tain. Our govcrnrueul is strone;, <mr late war was hm it, reconstruction of its founda tions." Further on bo said: I nm very hmm lieut with those men who sneer nt politics and politicians, who joke at tho purity of womanhood and tho sanctity of Ibo church. There is no more honest work done in tho United States than is done in tho govern ment. The people belli 'VC I bis. while they Say to the contrary. This is why they OSk the government, although ii would bea great mistake, to lake charge of hanks, rail roads and telegraph lines. There are too many who forget that tho government is ourselves gone annual Hie corner and c onie in with another cap on. To place every tbhlg under the government would bc lo take away the vitality of thc people. Be sides, if wo grumble now nt tho way 160, Ut.Ilices are managed what would wc dc If wo had tho railroads and lidded (100,000 more?" Ile concluded; "As cducab d young men. you nmst not forgo! that tin- Lord and your country have demands on you for what you bavo of talent. To he a politician in the best sense is second only lo heine; n minister ot (be Lord Jesus christ. Tho most cowardly thing on Cod's footstool is to mn away from your government. Though you may not be an active poltli clan, keep informed lu matters of politics. Always go to tho caucus, the beginning of government.
