Ol'lt \ATIO.\AI. SIN.
The most Important lesson of the!
Inte crisls is that as a people ?*6 havo
been Indifferent, almost to the point j
of crlmlnallty, to publlc affair;-. Unlll
the Spanlsh War forcc.l lt upon us, wc
took Ilttle or no part ln the politlcs ot |
the world. We bnilt a protectlvo tariff!
trnll around our borders ant! painted
upon it the slgn, "No entangllng al
llanrcs." The motto ns handed down
to lia by Presldent Washington was
irood. but Its meanlng wns sadly per
rerted. Washington never deslghed
hat lt should have the sleniflcance oi
?xclualveneas and secluslon. But that
ve have been exelusive; that we have
>een indifferent to forelgn affalrs; that
ve have done little to lncrease! our -
rade wlth forelgn natlons and much j '
o impede It. are slmple proposltlon?
hat cannot be Intelllgently denied. We
lavo acted very much as though this
rere a natlon sufflcicnt ttnto itself,
nd that we were abundantly able to
Ive wlthln onraelves, in dlsregard of
he polltk-s or the trade of the outslde
i-orlil. True, we are now paylng more
tt.-ntion to our forelgn relatlons. po
itlcally speaking. but it Is because thr
Ituatlon has been forced upon us.
But that Is not the worst of lt. Wjj
i.ivf paid but seant attentlon, except
n cmergencles, to domestlc politlcs, to
natters of publlc concern. to our flnan
.?ial and industrlnl Instltutlons, nnd to
measures necessary to their regula
llon. Wo set up as another motto,
"Etrrn.il vlgllance is the ptlcc/of llb
c-rty." but wo allowed it to become a
dead letter. The principal watching
we have done has been over our prlvate
affalrs, and. in great part, publlc af?
falrs havu been left to shiri for th.tn
selves. We have allowed politieal rhigs
to control leglslation at Washington,
nt the Stnte capltals, and-in thn coun?
tles and rnunlclpalltlea. Wu have al?
lowed corporatlon lobbyists \to dlctale
tariff lugisi-itibn, anil aornettinns trust
und r.iiiiouij leglslation. Wa have nl
lowed land-grabbers t<i aelza tho pub?
llc domtiln for prlvato usa and to
Sevastate our forests. Wo havo al?
lowed rallroad corporatlons to .iob tlielr
stocks, glvo rebates, practlce dtserltni
natlon, and ignore tho publlc Jntitrost.
Ry our'it'arlfy.laws we haye discour
aged*t'ou*lpe*tl.t|pn aml fostered monopo?
lles. We have permltted Insiiraiicfl
companlpa, banks and trust companiea
to employ the funds committed into
their keeping ln prlvate speculnlion.
Our regulative laws in thelr operatlon
have been more ln the Interest of m>
poratlons than in the interest of tho
Indlvldual cltlzon. And all the while
wo have boasted of another motto,
"Equal rlghts to nll, apeclal prlviipges
lu none."
Can nny one nf thoso statoments bc
rvfuted? The record and the results
speak for themaelves.
Comlng down to munlclpal affalrs,
we have bartered away many valuable
franchist-H for a trlflo and allowed
prrvate corporatlons to cxploll them to
their own enrlchment, .vliilo wo have
plled up niunicipal debta to prbvluo
convenlences. We have maintalnod
clumsy ana expensivo forms of munl?
clpal government, largely fi.r the beiie
lii of olllcehbldera and other e'mplbyei*'
and ln many cases we have allowed
politieal ollgarcliles to.plunder the pub?
llc treasury.
How can these things have beon,
When all power was vested In tho peo?
ple themaelves'' Slmpiy because the
voters wero Indifferent and inattentlvo
to publlc affalrs. Our natlopal win Iiuh
been our Indlvldual negligence. We
have Bacrlflced the publlc Interest to
personal Interest. We have delegated
our powers as. a, people to inen- whom
we have choaen Ly our own ballots to
rulc ovc-r us, And now that tlio crlala
Das come; now that our eyes luive been
opened, there is a great outcry from
the people, and wo are h'eaplng censure
upon others, when the blanie, prlma
rlly, lles at our own duors. -Thore
comes also a cry for reform, and for
all eorts of rlgld ragulatlona, atul thls
brlnge ue face to face wlth a new dan-!
fi.r. The danger now ls thut tho reao
Uon will go too far und deatroy Instead
of reform. It ls a crltlcal perlod ln the

"That Jamestown Kxposltlon has one

Perhaps the Jamestown Exposltion
may justly be terinea a "falluro," so
far as financial success Is concerned,
but certalnly it is a falluro ln no
ither sense of the word. On the con?
trary, lt ls one of the most beautiful
ind complete exposltlons ever offered
ti this country, and far outstrips manv
that have not farod so badly as to
money matters. Those who fall to see
t are not to be congratulated; it Is
well worth many day.s' journey.
That tho oxposltlon has played In 111

Jackson, ? tho llrst speaker, had noi
proceeded far, when ho took a recesi
so that Davis could speak, and hurr>
off to dellver another address. Davi;
mado a renmrknblo spoech. As a plat

Jackson remnrked that "Booker ' T.

that oplnfon. too. Davis Jumped fron
common-senso to pathos and .huraur
and ho worked tho latter In so ciev

"We would not thlnk of brlnging this

You whlte peoplo don't knowhaw much

now that the negroea of'tho South do

-Jackson mado a _ typlcal Jackaon
?peech. He explalned that when "lu

Negro Building and told tho peoplr
thnt It would bo aeparato from the

a Jlm-Crow Exposltion, and charged
hlm with drawlng tho color llne.
"I told them," he added, "that God
drew the llne and we had to too It.
We want thls exhibit here. Wo don't
want to scatter In four months the la?
bor of four years. The Yankees came
here and took tho Ltbby'Prlson; thoy
made mlllions out of it, and someof
us don't know It Is gone. When .'tlie

they couldn't have it If the whlto folks
fif Blchmond would let us fctch It
here. They have accused me of mak?
lng $10,000 out of thls thlng. It aln't
so. I never got a dollar. And then when I
went to Congre?s for help these nig
gcrs here snid that I would sport

:'crlbed the Interest whlch thousands
of visitors had taken ln tho exhibit.
Canls were dlstributed. and when- thev

managers had substantial assurance^
of ald. The enthusiasm, however,
counted for more, and Jackson found
that hls schemo had the hearty en?

A quartett.e added to the attractlve
features of the evenlng.
The negro exhibit at the exposltion
Is unlversaliy regarded a.s one ot tho

But next morning every mark ol

"Miss Lizzle?Miss," sald Mrs. Price,
as though rccltlng a lesson. "I have

"No, no,'" sald Lizzle; "I couldn't.
No, Prlcey, you old dear, I leave it
all to you." f
Mr/j. Price was frankly delighted.
She lihd always loved her Lizzle, and
now she'aelored her. Har hunds trem

"Not look at tho books, even? Won't
