l? loQrletfd or PlarUri<nt.
In May of last year Mr. E. G.
Smith, of this city, was tho vie
tor in the Southern Oratorical
contest at Nashville, bis subject
bem* "The Plutocrat." On the
< th of last month the Oratorical
Society of Kentucky met at
Frankfort, and the gold medal
was given to Mr. James H.
owango. on his oration "The
plutocrat," the same subject Mr.
Smith spoke on in 1892.
His oration elicited many words
of praise on account of its many
elequentand forcible expressions.
Many doubting Swango's ability
to get up such a masterly pro
duction began an investigation
and found that a great part had
been taken from Mr. Smith's
oration, and, although sometimes
the wording is changed, it is
Plainly seen that the thought is
unaltered. We give below a
comparison of seyeral passages.
At the beginning of his speech
Mr. Smith said: -We reverence
the same great names.'
Near the first of Mr. Swango's
speech we find these words:
'Americans, we worship the same
great names.'
Further on Mr. Smith says: 'I
now introduce, by way of con
trast, the hero of to-day. Pluto
crat is his name.'
Mr. Swango says: 'But I now
desire to introduce to you the
hero of this day. Plutocrat is
his name.'
Mr. Smith continues: 'You
have known him for many a day
by bis silver sword and golden
shield.'
Mr. Swango says: 'Yoa may
know him by his golden armor
and glittering crown.'
Here Mr. Swango uses, under
quotation marks, the following
languages., which is taken from
the oration of Mr. Smith: ?!y
smiles upon the princoly aud his
frowns upon the poor; by his
greedy hands that never giVo but
always take, take.'
Mr. Smith continues: 'These
money kings regulate your money
and your trade; control a major
ity of your Legislatures.'
Mr. Swango says: 'Such beings
regulate your money ond control
your trade, buy your Legisla
tures and subsidize your Sena
tors.'
Mr. Smith continues: 'All these
things they do through the in
strumentality of the corporation,
that unnatural thing which is
neither man nor best which has
once a blessing and a curse.'
Mr. Swango says: 'These
things they do by means of the
corporation, that artificial being
which has neither body or soul,
which has neither body or soul,
which is both a blessing and a
curse.'
Mr. Smith continues: 'These
infants the law sot only creates,
but protects in their tyranny.'
Mr. Swango says: 'The state
creates these corporations on the
theory that some proper thing or
benefit can be better done by
them than by private enterprise.'
Mr. Smith says: 'He is a citi
zen and mingles with the people,
a churchman and influences the
pulpit Ho is professional and
learned, practical and skilled in
the use of knowledge, compre
hensive and speaks for all clasess
ond to all classes.
Mr. Swango says: 'A citizen,
he mingles with the people and
not unfrequently he occupies a
front pew in the church. Elo
quent and professional, be may
be, he panders to the prejudice
of the mob and is elected to office,
where he makes his bnncombe
speech and poses as a political
reformer.'
Mr. Smith continues: 'Where
is the legal array of this age and
country that can challenge our
scientific array? (and it is science
making plutocracy possible that
oyer shadows the law.) Seethe
array of science. There stands
White who knows the pulse of
mother earth and bleeds it for
her children; and there stands
Edison, who speaks the
heaven and the very lig

there stands Erickson.

made the oceans whisper in <
I others ears.'
? Mr. Swango says: -Hut
[of scionce. and is science i
plutocracy possible as ;i men
to our people? Go to the
I tories of our couutry ami se
J great scientists. Wonders
I been wrought by their

There stands Morse, who wli

?f the deep. There is Erich
(who -laid his hand upon
ocean's mane and made him lal

closed in parenthesis was
by Mr. Swango under quot
marks.
Mr. Smith continues: 'In quiet
parlors the phonograph
speak the sermon and sp
with the accent and the an in
tion of the orator.'
Mr. Swango says: 'In quiet
parlors speaks the phonograph
with all the animation of the
I orator.'
I Mr. Smith continues: 'This is
I the wondrous castle of our coun
I try, grand and majestic; but lot
I us not forget it may moulder and!
I decay.'
Mr. Swango says: 'Ours is a
I wondrous structure, built by our
I fathers upon the rock of political
I truth. It has stood the storms
II of a century, but let us remem
ber it is subject te decay.'
Mr. Smith continues: 'A castle
spread upon a continent and
lashed by Many different seas,
wealth,' whose dome communes
with tha clouds, and whose spires
I pierce the infinite and whose
I colors are fixed by the hand of
God.'
Mr. Swango says: 'A eastlo
spread upon a continent! and
I bound by bands of steel, yhose
I dome communes with the cSouds,
whose spires pierce the infinite
and whose flag was hoisted by
the hand of Cod.'
Mr. Smith continues: ?Cprpor
I ations have climbed upon its
I walls and are treated as tender'
I ivies. The castle is good enough,
I and they are necessary ar^U
I proper. They need jndictc
pruning.'
Mr. Swango says: 'The ivy i
I honey-suckle that once ado
I the walls of our home have |
I torn down, and in their stead
I have been placed corporation
I vines. True, they are necessary,
I and they make a good shade, but
I they must have judicious prun
I ning.'
The executive committee of
I the Kentucky inter-collegiate
I oratorical contest heard of tft I
I charges of plagiarism' and.
I April 29, they met at
I where, after a through
I gation, Mr. Swango was (
I ned and ordered to give
gold medal. Thisj^i
speaks well for Mr.
literary ability, this: pr
being twice that nisi

The ConfeMion of a (
? Fifteen years ago it
nounced that John W. HiHmon,
I of Kansas, had been accidentally
I shot and killed by hi i-partner,
I John H. Brown.
The corpse was duly buried
and the widow's natural sadness
was shared by several eastern
insurance companies in which
Hillmon's life was insured for
I $40,000.
The policies had been taken
I out by one Levi Baldwin, s
I of Hillmon's wife. Now. J

the murderer of Walters.
The insurance men have spent
about *10.000 in the case, but
they will win at last, unless it
should turn out that the alleged
Ililltnon is another man. The
caso has gone against the com
panies. but on the new trial they
expect to come oat all right. Of
all the great insurance romances
ever made public this case is
probably the ijnust sensational,
lis final outcome will be watched
for with interest.

The editor of the Walton (Ga.)

home where exists comfort
rather than luxuries. She be

true meaning of love, which
teaches the manner of the draw

the kitchen as well; which teaches
its girls the responsibilities of
wifehood and the greatness of
motherhood. These girls may
not ride in their carriages, they
may not wear the moist expensive
gowns, they may even help a
little to enlarge the family in-l
come, but these selfsame girls
are to-day the great bulwark of

pv^'You have no objection to me
personally, Miss Feathercroft, I
hope," remarked the young lady's
somewhat elderly admirer.
"Why. Mr. Glispy," she re-1
plied, "you :lre not acting as a I
proxy for some other man, are|
you?"
IppAs a prcxy? Do I understand
you correctly, Miss Feathercroft?
As a proxy for some other man?
Certainly not." |
"In asking mo to be your wife I
you meant yours individually,
diti you not?"
"I certainly did."
| ."Then my objections to marry
ing you, Mr. Glaspy, must have |
some personal application to
yourself, must they not?" ?
"Of course, but?"
P'Verv good. Let us dispose
of this point first. You ask me
to marry you. I declined. You
j inquired whether 1 had any ob
jections to you personally. I
asked you in reply if you were
j acting as agent for some other
man. You said you were not.
Now. then, if the fact be con
sidered established that you wish
me to marry you and I refuse to
do so, it follows inexorably that
my refusal is based on the fact
that it is you, yourself, whom I
do not wish to marry. Do you
follow me?"
"I?I think I do," said Mr.
Glaspy, somewhat bewildered,
"but?"
??One moment. Ob?orvt>. now,
that this refusal has nothing to
do with any other man. Hence,
whatever reasons I may have for
not wishing to marry you apply
to you i>ersonaUy, and nobody
else. Therefore mey are per
sonal to yourself. Is that, entirely
clear in your mind?"
??Why. yes," grasped tho dls
comfittcd Mr. Glaspy. helplessly,
??but still?"
? Hence; it must becompared,"
she proceeded, raising her voice,
pointing hor linger at him argu
mentatively and following his
now retreating form around tho
rooji. "it must be apparent to
you that I do have some object
ions to you personally, and your
question, or, rather.your assump
tion. to characterize it more ac
curately, was founded on a mani
fest misconception. I proceed
now to give some of my object
ions. Firstly?"
"You needn't. Miss Feather
croft!" exclaimed Mr. Glaspy,
recovering himself. "You needn't,
proceed to sttte the objections!"
he went on, firmly grasping his
hat. "But for thoso objections
I might have boon by this time
the promised husband of a walk

thenes! I have the honor,
madam, to congratulate myself
on escaping a horrible fate and
wish you a very good evening
The true object of education is |
not generally understood by
teacher and parents. Tho ancient
Greeks mado a mistake when
they based their system upon tho
perfection of the State rather
than the Individual. Parents to
day send their children to school
to fit them for business or a pro
fession, to enablo them to make
a good living in the world, or to
occupy an honorable position in
society.

Th e best estimates place the

who are opposed to the repeal of
the Silver bill at about 35. So
far there has been no indication
that the majority would be les

called. Unless Congress is to
repeal the Sherman law, Mr.
