The Subject Din-mud from I Practical
and Philosophical ltandpoint.
A good audience gathered in Knudssn‘s
hall,on Chestnut street, last night, to lis-
tentoCily Attorney Light‘s lecture on
"The Power of the Minority." 110 dis-
cussed the subject from both a practical
and u philosophlhal standpoint and in
keeping with the best modern thought.

the following are some, of lllf‘ ideas jot-
ted down by our reporter:
"The gospel of the People—that every
man counts for one, and. no man for
more than one"—is one of the most strikv
lug ofinodern fallacies. The lie which
does most harm to society is the one
which (ontnins‘the greatest amount of
truth. It is true that every man has in-
alienable political rights. but it is not
true that every man is equivalent in the
politimfl order of the state. It is obvious
toeverylxxly that all mennre not equal
physically. morally or intellectu-
ally. The wise minority constitute the
salt of the earth. The world lives on
the credit and ideas of great men and
women. Separate Moses and the proph~
etc from the Jews: Homer, Solon and
Pericles from the Greeks; Virgil and the
Cesare from the Romans; Shakespeare.
Milton. Pitt and Gladstone from the
English; Washington, Hamilton and
Lincoln from the Americans, and what

The reat inventions in printing. steam
and electricity have brou ht the whole
world in close touch, an made every
man my neighbor. Now, all the advan-
tages and disadvantages of the World are
practically open to all mankind. Men

they have not been receiving their share
of the good things of this world.
