JOSEPH 0. CANNON, THE NEW SPEAEEK.
JOSEPH G. CANNON, the Speaker prospective of the fifty-eighth Con
gress, belongs to the rugged type of American that Lincoln suggests;
m«i of sterling character but with little, humanizing peculiarities showing
where their individuality has not been sand-papered and veneered ty the
conventions of society. He would never be considered a Beau Brumr.ell as
regards dress; he is a man of strong likes and dislikes and spea: s out
withbut reserve; he uses the italics of mild profanity to emphasize his points
in ways that the blue-book of etiquette does not warrant; but he is regarded
with affection and esteem by all who know him.
His unassailable integrity, his fearlessness, his frankness, his loyal'y, his
firmness in the right and his gentle, generous kindness of heart, mark the
man and the gentleman.
He was born at Guilford, N. C., in 1836 of sturdy, plain Quaker sfo".:.
His family, finding the race question in the South inimical to the spirh of
the “Friends,” moved to Indiana, where young Joe led the usual life of a
pioneer, his education terminating at fourteen when his father died. He
then guided the destinies of a country store till at nineteen with $100 of
savings he determined to be a lawyer. After being admitted to the bar he
became one of the lawyers who in the unformed state of law In Illinois r.t
that time made precedents rather then followed them. His keenness, ro” h
wit, tireless energy and honesty in word and deed when he rode the circuit
on horseback, again suggest Lincoln.
In 1873, his ambition for a broader field of honor and usefulness was
gratified by his election to Congress, and his record has been so safis'g-'rry
that he has been re-elected for every term since, except the brief interim of
two years in 1892 and ’93. But for this, Mr. Cannon would be the p!
member in continuous service. ■ ■ ^ _
Mr. Cannon is one of the most conspicuous men in Congress and ins
keen wit and clever illustrations often force a point more effectively t’-”n
a long and elaborate argument. As Chairman of the Committee on Amwo
priations, he held a position second only to that of the Speaker, and the
manner in which l.e exerted his influence reflecis the highest honor von
himself and his colleagues. He is acknowledged to be one of the wi^st. end
most prudent legislators in Congress, as well as one of the most po~" !;.r r :i.

"He that ruk'th over men must be
Just, ruling in the fear of God.”
Stable government can find no other
base than tills. Whatever Its form,
whether monarchy, aristocracy or
democracy, security and permanence
can be obtained only as those who
rule, discover and put in operation the
eternal principles of Justice, truth and
righteousness. Napoleon Bonaparte
may declare that God Is on the side of
the strongest battalions. He may even
be confident that he has the strongest
and is invincible. St. Helena will give
him time for reflection on the causes of
Waterloo. He may even frame eight
or nine different theories to account f ir
his defeat. Men may think it was the
Illegibility of his writing, causing Ids
officers to mistake his orders, and, nfier
all. the only sufficient explanation of
his defeat l>s in the fact that lie relied
on the genius and destiny of Napoleon
Bonaparte and had greater regard for
him than for Almighty God. That lie
has yet discovered his error who can
declare? Others have recognized it.
We need to profit by it.
Nidi did Alexander Hamilton say.
“The love and fear of God are Indeed
the koyston ■ of the political arch." Xo
state can long stand which is rotten
within. This truth is of more vita!
importance to our own nation pos
sibly than to most others at the pres
ent time. Wo are attempting govern
ment by the people as a whole, l-lut
government is botli n science and an
art built upon the science. Intelligence
and integrity arc indispensable requi
sites in those who rule. Omit cither
and that state or nation is doomed.
.Riches and strength may postpone its
fall for a time, but its doom is seated,
its overthrow is inevitable.
To rule others one must be able to
rule himself. The genius of an Alex
ander of Maeedon may enable him to
conquer the known world. His intelli
gence, trained by an Aristotle, may l.e
equal to planning a new civilization
and laying foundations for a world em
pire. His lack of integrity and self
control will cause his death at thirty
five and wreck his scheme wit!) lug
death.
Xo inore can a republic last if its
rulers are corrupt. If officers prov -
unworthy they can be removed. They
will be removed If the people are net
debauched. A Tweed may for awhile
hold a great city in his power, but tint:
power will be broken unless the people
have lost all power by losing their in
tegrity. Cur only safety is in a high
and awe-fui sense of our responsibility
to God. He who finds no other basis
for just government except the consent
of the governed has no assurance
against the mad fury of the mob. Re
move the reverence for God and the
recognition of His rulership in human
government, and all safeguards are
overthrown. Reason and right go down
before the blind fury of unrestrained
passion.
Let greed of power or money control
and “graft" be tolerated and the land
shall reel under the shame of Minne
apolis. the shame of St. Louts, the
shame of bossism and public office used
for private gain. Then vice and crime
will be met by lynching?-, while mob
venegenuce and anarchy hold carnival.
Our safety lies wholly in rigid self
control under the laws of (tod in right
eousness. Our duty is to be pure in
politics and demand purity in our offi
cials in the administration of civic gov
ernment.
Working With bod.
All honest, honorable lubor has n
spiritual significance. The meat which
perlslieth, the reward which Is gained
in money or land or some other ma
terial form. Is worthy of diligent effort,
and he would be foolish who should be
little Its value; but It Is uot tile only or
even the chief reward to be striven
for. He who reverently regards him
self ns working together with God.
who therefore cherishes alms beyond
and above those of merely Immediate
and material returns and who tries to
gain through his dally work knowledge
of the divine character and purposes
and fellowship with the good and holy
—he it Is, nml be only, who is laboring
for the meat which does not perish.
He may or may not become rich In
property, but be does grow rich In
character, and he alone can carry tils
accumulations with him Into the fu
ture life.—Congregntlonnllst.
Faith.
Faith stands for the religion of the
henrt; works stand for the religion of
the life. These two God has joined to
gether. Let no man put them asunder,
for there is no genuine religion with
out them in active union. Just as love
in the soul finds a way to manifest it
self so as to attract the attention,
please and benefit the one loved. s>
genuine faith In the Lord Jesus moves
its possessor to earnest, joyful action
along lines of practical Christian use
fulness. Where there is no such ac
tion there is no genuine faith.—Reli
gious Telescope.
Never Without Help.
We are never without help. We have
no right to say of any good work,- "It is
too hard for me to do,” or of any sor
row, “It Is too hard for me to hear.”
or of any sinful habit, "It Is too hard
for me to overcome.”—Elizabeth
Charles.
Hope.
Ab is the chain that holds fast and seeurs
The vessel to the sturdy anchor's form.
Enabling it thus to safely endure
The wild, tempestuous onslaughts of the
storm.
Bo Is the claim of hope. that bids depart
All grim despair ns on life's way I plod.
The one end firmly linked around my
heart.
The ,'her resting In the Ir'n 1 of Clod.
—Pancroft Latimer.
The Twelve Jurymen,
▲ prisoner is tried by twelve of his
fellow countrymen. This custom is a
thousand years old, and we get it from
the Vikings. The Vikings divided their
country up Into cantons, which were
subdivided into twelve portions, each
under a chieftain. When a malefactor
was brought to Justice it was usual for
each chieftain to select a man from the
district over which he ruled and com
pel him to try the prisoner, the verdict
of these twelve men being declared by
| the Judge to be final.
