GROVER TALKS AT A BANQUET Dirty Politics and Waning Na tional Patriotism Dissected. GOOD CITIZENSHIP THEME Former President Handies the Subject in a Masterly Manner and Sug gests a Remedy for Evils. “Give to our people something that will concentrate their common affec tion and solicitous care, and let that bo the country's good; give them a purpose that stimulates them *0 unite in lofty endeavor, and let that purpose be a demonstration of the efficiency and beneficence of our popular rule.” This was the solution oSered by former President Grover Cleveland, ?s a remedy for corrupt politics, in a speech before the memb«rs of the Commercial Club of Chicago at their annual banquet given Wednesday night. He received an enthusiastic recep tion by the two hundred banqueters when he appeared at the speaker's ta ble. Mr. Cleveland took as his topic, ; “Good Citizenship,” prefacing his re- j marks by saying that he understood himself to be under bond “to keep the peace, if possible, by eschewing poli tics.” He likened the to® prevalent in difference of citizens to their politi cal duties to the disposition often man ifested by the members of our church es, who, "having made profession of their faith and joined the church, ap pear to think their duty done when they live honestly, attend worship reg ularly, and contribute liberally to church support.” Of the odious and detestable evils that are threatening our national life —the open and notorious corruption of the suffrage, the buying and selling of political places for money, the pur chase of political favors and privi leges, and the traffic in official duty for personal gain—Mr. Cleveland spoke at some length, saying in part: “These things are confessedly com mon. Every intelligent man knows that they have grown from small be ginnings until they have reached frightful proportions of malevolence; and yet respectable citizens by the thousands and hundreds of thousands have looked on with perfect calmness, and with hypocritical cant have de clared they are not politicians, or with silly pretensions of faith in our strength and luck, have languidly claimed that the country was prosper ous, equal to any emergency, and proof against a-11 danger. “Resulting from these conditions in a manner not difficult to trace, whole some national sentiment is threatened with utter perversion.” In touching upon the relations of labor and capital, be said: “We now see its worst manifesta tion in the apparently incorrigible dis location of the proper relation be tween labor and capital. This of it self is sufficiently distressing; but thoughtful men are not without dread of sadder developments yet to come. There has also grown up among our people a disregard for the restraints of law, and a disposition to evade its limitations, while querulous strictures concerning the action of our courts tend to undermine popular faith in the course of justice; and last, but by no means least, complaints of imaginary or axeggerated shortcomings in our financial policies, furnish an excuse for the flippant exploitation of all sorts of monetary nostrums. ’ “I hasten to give assurance that I have not spoken in a spirit or gloomy' pessimism. I shall be the last of all our people to believe that the saving grace of patriotism among my coun trymen is dead or will always sleep. ! know that its timelv revival and activ ity means the realization of the lof tiest hopes of a free nation. Good Men Musi- Arouse. “It is ns clear as noonday that if the patriotism of our people is to be aggressively vigorous and equal to our national preservation, and if polities is to subserve a hieh purpose instead of degenerating to the level of a cun ning game, our good men in every walk of life must arouse themselves to consciousness th't the safety and best interests of their country involve every other interest; and that by ser vice in the field of good citizenship they not only do patriotic duty, but in a direct way save for themselves the share of benefits due them from our free institutions.

FOURTEEN DIE IN WRECK. Deadly Collision Between Work Train and a travel Train on Railrcai in New Jersey. A special from Trenton, N. J., says: fifteen persons were killed and about forty more injured in a collision which occurred Saturday on the Bel vldere division of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company near Washington's Crossing. The persons killed and in jured were laborers who wero on a work train and wer9 on way to work at Washington’s Crossing to re pair washouts along the road. Four teen bodies were soon taken from the wreck and one more was known to be under the debris. The dead men, with ene or two exceptions, are Italian la borers who reside in Trenton, the oth erg being negroes. The train bearing those killed and injured was made up of two coaches, in which the men were riding, and. two fiat ears in the rear. The train stop ped near W r ashington‘s Crossing to re ceive orders. While standing on the track it was run into from tne rear by a gravel train. The two flat cars tele scoped the two coaches. There were about 180 men on the cars. As soon as the accident happened the Italians became frantic and made an attempt to bodily harm the crew of the gravel train. Word was sent to Trenton for police assistance, hut the men were finally quieted by the foreman. The railroad officials aro reticent as to how the aocident occurred, but it is believed that the gravel train failed to see any adverse signal or that the flagman of the first train failed to go back a sufficient distance.

Dowie on his first appearance before a New York audience. Fully 14,000 people were in the garden a: 2:30 when the services began. So many of the audience began to leave during the service that Dowie entered a protest, saying: “If this is New York, and this is a typical New York congregation, I am in the face cf a new experience. 1 think that some cf the people who came in must have thought that this was a Buffalo Bin show. I wonder if the congregations of the churches here enter and leave as they pleace. I reckon we have learned something and will be prepared hereafter.” Army Maneuvers et Fort Fiiev.
