\ with fervent tears to the Lord. It was an
| official act of the pastor as a selected part of
! an organised church then set apart to the task
! of establishing anew home in America. There
j was no civil government. These immigrants did
| not believe in a theocratic state any more than
lin a secularized church. It was necessary to
organize a form of civil government, and out of
that necessity sprung that noble instrument
known as th ■ “Social compact of the forefath
ers.” Tnat such a compact was deemed neces
sary demonstrates Lu'.v scrupulously these
men held to separation of state
and church. Already an organized
church, they, by their own convic
tions of the province of its powers and the
limitations of its authority felt compelled to
form a civil body politic. True emigrants do
not. leave their country b hind them, they
carry it with their faith and custom, den
die, these survive. They enter into beliefs,
convictions, life and the hopes of a composite
people who are born, trained and live under
their influence.
WHAT THE FOREFATHERS BROUGHT.
These forefathers brought with them their
conception of England—their England. They
brought no titles nor ranks, priestly hierarchy,
no ecclesiastical ranks and orders.’no compli
cated systems of fees. But they did bring with
them monogainic marriage with its individual
ity and the sanctity of home, the rights
of the subject to the protection of the
law, the sacreduess of individual property,
precedent consent before the levying of taxe;.,
an i the right to express in some legal and pre
scribed manner their will for those who were to
represent them in the legislature and the
eh urch.
It is not true, except in a narrow sense, that
they were freed from the institutions of the old
world, and at liberty to choose what material
they would use in this new world. No men
were ever more fully committed by pre-potency
of blood, race, training, d.fo and convictions,
than these grave, earnest, heroic "Pilgrims.”
and the highest praise to be awarded
them is that they were faithful to those con
victions, steadiest in that faith, unwavering in
tbeir devotion In these beliefs.
Let us be just to all. These were not exclu
sively theirs, nor did they alone bring t om
here. But this immigration was ; eauliar—that
a church, as a ehurcti, should foun 1 a settle
ment—and, therefore, peculiar in the form of
organization which this produce I and the se
lection of the persons composing it; pecu
liar in that it was the first colony because of
its belief of the freedom of the church from
state regulation; peculiar that it lauded on a
territory not included in the permission granted
to it, and where there was no superior, except
the somewhat uncertain rights of the king, and
therefore it had tu form a government for itself;
peculiar in the instrument which this exigency
produced.
LAWS ENACTED.
During the first year, under a compact made
on shipboard, meetings had been held and some
laws or ordinances enact ;d. These meetings
were at first called “town mooting,” which, per
haps, is a peculiar political future of New Eng
land development, and in the congrega
tioual form of church government. Con
gregational meetings are simply reli
gious town metings. Tho influence,
educational, political and religious, of these
town and congregational meetings on the de
velopment of both the individuality and politics
of the citizens of tho state cannot be overesti
mated.
My countrymen, the chiefest merit of those
to whose memory this monument has been
erected was their fidelity to truth as they saw
the truth. This is the noblest attribute of man
that he can love the truth supremely. Tlie
truth is as we see it; to be loyal to that truth is
our supremest duty.
John D. O’Rjilly, the poet of the occa
sion, was then introduced and read his
poem, “The Pilgrim Fathers." After the
reading of the poom addresses were made
by Lieut-Gov. Brackett, on behalf of Lite
state ; George F. Hoar, Henry Cabot Lojlge,
William Cogswell, E. A. Morse, Hon. Will

upon which he was arrested were handed to
that official, who, having carefully read
them over, gave whispered instructions to
one of his clerks.

Tins individual in turn took tho papers
and turning to the prisoner ho said: “Mr.
Sullivan, ii you want, you can got an rit.
of habeas corpus, provided you are willing
to swoar thnt you are not John L. Sulli
van." The big fellow smiled buts iid noth
ing. Then his hacker, Charley Johnson,

he understood that, the battle ground
would be in the state of Louis

the figilt that the place of fighting was
changed to Mississippi, and Sullivan did
not. really know until at the ring side that
he was in the state of Mississippi. He did
not change the ground and he hod no in
tention of breaking tho law, but he had no
alternative but to fight or become a pol
troon.

SUNK IN THE ST. LAWRENCE.
The 900 Passengers on Board the
Steamer Landed in Safety.
Watertown, N. Y., Aug. I.—The psl
aco steamer St. Lawrence, which lias for
several seasons been the prido of her offi
cers aud tne best of the Thousand Island
•Steamboat Company’# lino of boats,ran on a
rock off Hog island, in the Canadian chan
nel, to-day, and is going to pieces. Hlie had
on bonrd 900 people who were safely con
veyed to adjoining islands and are now
encamped upon the shore; until the super
intendent of tho line can send another
steamer to take them off.
WILD EXCITEMENT.
The greatest excitement prevails all
along the St. Lawrence rivur over tho acci
dent. It is expected that the steamer will
go to pieces during the night. Bho was
conveying the Rogers excursion party. Bhe
left Ciaytou at 11 o’clock this morning.
There were over 1,000 people on the excur
sion, and the Maynard, which is allowed
by tho government inspector to carry 125
people, wa3 detailed to take those who
could not board the Bt. Lawrouco. The
Maynard and St. Lawrence left together,
the former following the St. Law rence a
short distance.
THE PASSENGERS AT DINNER.
Many passengers were below at dinner
when the boat reached tho Canadian
waters and entered tho narrow channel
near Hog Island. The captain, it is said at
tempted to cross from the narrow to the
main channel, aud when part way over the
St. Lawrence struck a rock and,
riding over it, tested with tUe
center of the boat on the highest
point. She settled at both ends. The
Maynard was approaching, and as soon as
she could, lauded tlie St. Lawrence's pas
sengers on the adjacent islands. Not a per
son was injured, and all were
landed without even getting wet.
When the accident occurred men
and women were almost frantic withfrig ,t,
but no one tried to jump overboard and the
oflic.-rs acted with g oat presence of nund.
Capt, M. D. Estes, who was in charge of
the Bt. Lawrence, has been a steamboat
captain many years, and i$ known as one
of the most careful captains ou the river.
CHOP3 IN TEXAS.
The Outlook Bright for Everything
Planted.
Denison, Tf,x., Aug. I.— The Herald
says: “Our canvass of every part of Texas
shows that the reports of the corn, cotton
and wheat crops have been under-estimated.
Prom nearly every county there is cheering
news. Such cotton was never before s-eu.
Wheat aud < ats are up to the average.
The prospects for 2,000,000 bales of cotton
are good if the woather holds for a fortnight
longer.”
The Herald says that at the low prices
received lest year the cotton crop is worth
£84,000,000,and regrets that it cannot all go
direct from the gin to Taxas mills to be
manufactured, instoad of being sent to
northern and foreign mills.
boss Of the Grenada.
New York, Aug. I.—President George
Gould of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany has received a cablegram from Mau
zilla stating that the trea.ure, footing up
about $200,000, on board thfe Pacific mail
steamer Grenada when the vessel was lost,
has been recovered. The vessel, valued at
$200,000, was a total loss.
BOSTON’S FUND.
The Money Has Always Been Subject
to Draft.
Boston, Mass., Aug. I.— With regard
to the statement of Gov. Beaver of Penn
sylvania tha' he has not received any of tlie
$150,000 said to bo in the hands of tho Bos
ton committee for the relief of tho Johus
.town sufferers, ,it may bo stated
that the Baton fund is still in
the possession of tlie local committee of
which Mayor Hart is chairman. It lis
known that the in noy is subject to the
dratt of the Phil dolphla committee.
Mayor Hart says: “There is no hitch at
this end. Wo have notified the relief com
niissionerj to draw on us and they have
failed to do so. The reason is they have all
tho funds Which they need for the present."
AFTER THE EPIDEMIC FUND.
Washington. Aug. I.—Dr. Benjamin
Leo, secretary of the Pennsylvania Htate
Board of Health, has written President
Harrison, suggesting that some portion of
tile national epidemic) fund which now
amounts to $ 100,000, should be expended
in dredging and digging tlie Couomaugh
river at Johnstown. Dr. Loe says that,
owing to tlie filling up of the valley at this
point by - the deposits of sand, earth and
rock made by the great flood, Johustown
aud the neighboring communities are liable
to bo overflowed every time there is a
heavy rain. Tills stnte of affairs, so preju
dicial to the health of that re
gion, Dr. Loe $ thinks, should he
ameliorated by appropriations from the
fund to prevent the sproa-l of epidemics.
The President has referred tlie letter to
Surgeon General Hamilton of tho Marine
hospital service without recommendation
toe action. Dr. Hamilton will reply that
under the law application# for assistance
from tho epidemic fund must he made by a
governor of a state. Even if Gov. Beaver
8houl! make tlie application it is improba
ble that tho money would be given from
the epidemic fund for this purpose. The
fund may be needed to chock an epidemic
of disease boforo this seas m is over.

captain of the Ozama is of tlie opinion that
the noxt news from Huy i will bo decisive,

the situation. Gen. Girarde, however, is
likely to have a terrible revengo on Gen.
Legitime aud his faction, as he formerly
