Show A Word To The Sages M A GOOD many gentlemen in the senate and H house aro quietly hoping that lightning will H strike them next summer and that the nomination H for president will fall in their front yard. All H such should remember that the people were never H more alert than today, and that never did con- H grossmen have a hotter opportunity to reveal any H real greatness, if they are carrying the germs in H their souls, that they will have between now and H March 4th. The country is in a state of ex- H pectancy; the people aro not quito satisfied with H the look of things and aro straining their eyes to H catch any new light, not the tallow dip, not the H old-fashioned smoky lamp light, not even the in- H candescent lamp, but the arc lights of real states- manship. If any senator or representative has H one of these he should bo putting in new carbons, H polishing the glass and getting ready to shine. H |
