Limitation OF Christ. !,

To The EdltOr OF Tie Repltblacdn:

the fact that George Eliot died with a copy of
Thomas Attempts Limitation ofChrist" in her
hands is regarded as an evidence of her Christian
feeling. This is grave error. Auguste Comte,
the founder Or ;oFmuator of the school of phioso-
ply and religion to which George Eliot belonged,
likewise held the Imitation in his dying hands
and used it as uGC6e mccain for many years prior
to his death. Those who understand the Imita-

4 Truthful Artist.

Miss Annie Louise Cary broke the
heart of Manager Mapleson in ST. Louis. In the
famous suit about the seats, brought by an ihdig-
nant citizen, who found the best places taken be-
fore the sale began, Miss Cary testified, like the
honest woman she is, that the business was
standing trick of managers; that is, the faVoring
of certain few at the expense of the many.
Colonel Maplesen attempted to modify her ZEAL
but she spoke right out in court: Better tell the
truth, and the amiable Colonel quit the room, a
good deal disturbed. She described herself as q
lyric actress by profession and said that she had
been eleven seasons on the stage, two of them
abroad

II is said that Senator Edmunds fayors

how the bulky majorities in the Southern

Steam Railroaa ALONG boundary Street


To the Editor of The Republican:
desire to call the attention of Congress to the
proposed Southern Maryland Railroad bill, which
is row in the Senate The said bill asked the right
to construct a railroad outside the city limits
Boundary street being the dividing line between
the city and county, if the bill had passed 1t could
have built through anyof the cemeteries Soldiers
Home LIE Droit Park, Columbia College, Meridian
Hill, and through all the property bordering ON
Boundary street from Mount Olivet Cemetery on the
east to Rock Creek on the west. When the bill came
up for action in the House an amendment was in
serted requiring the company before commencing
work to submit their route and termini to Congress
for its approval, which they had failed to do. In
District Committee of the Senate. Day before yes
terday it was reported by said committee to the
Senate, with the House amendment stricken out
except as relating to the Soldiers Home and the
cemeteries, leaving Columbia College, Meridian
Hill, LIE Droit Park and all the other valuable
property on the entire line of Boundary street
subject to the mercy of this proposed railroad
scheme
The question is simply this Do we want rail-
road with long trains OF cars along Boundary
street. destroying all the drives in the northwest
part of the city? As a property-holder, and one
who has the city's beauty at heart, say no. Let
this proposed road submit TO Congress its route
That is the way to do business. l do not believe
in Congress granting such extraordinary rights
and privileges without knowing what's up.
Gentlemen of the proposed southern Maryland
Railroad If you wish to enter the city, viii be
glad to have you; but before you ask any such
to Congress your route and termini for their con-
SideratiOn. TAXPAYER.

Oh well in the metropolis. Unless

Casions, and it is DO wonder people are

THERE are some considerations in the
matter of Cabinet construction which
may be pointed out for amusement's sake.
Prediction or prophecy is weakness of
mankind. We all have asneaking notion
that when it comes down to the real
merits of the case about the only truly
inspired prophet carries his weight of
brains under hat belonging to us. Let
US confess it honestly. We are all of us
gifted prophets in our own estima-
ton. 1t is natural, therefore, that
such an opportunity as the one now
offered should draw to the newspapers
deluge of guessing. Secondly, there are
not few far-sighted gentlemen who
know that mere mention in connection
with such a dignity as Cabinet posi-
ton is a thingnot to be despised. It puts
them in the market, so to speak, and, by
aiming high, they may still make a very
respectable shot if they miss the BULBS
eye, which they did not expect to hit
any way. A third class are those
who really have some influence,
and, while they have nothing in particu-
lar to ask for, yet obey a weakness of
human nature in getting in theirwork for
some representation of their section, just
for fear others will get more than their
share. We are a great lot of prophets,
scramblers, and wire-pullers. General
Garfeld's esteem for the American public
as crowd must be at a very low status
Just at the present time.

south American Cattle Raising.

Cattle raising on the River Plate,
ia South America, has made great
advance within a few years past, and
in the south of the republic, partic-
ulary, the business is fast extending.
Present prices are said to be unpre-
cedented, and to cause surprise at
the readiness with which they are
accepted. Breeding was comparative
ly new to the raisers as late as 1876
and was confind then to the hands
of few persons who could afford, il
necessary, to lose several thousand
head of cattle by Indian depredations
and epidemics. When the Indians
finally disappeared small capitalists
confidently entered the field, and
immediate growth then followed,
During the past year the increased
was greater than in any former one,
and this in spite of the disturbed con
dition of the country. Still more
improvement is looked for in the
figures for the year now passing
During the last five years the value
of the prize stock sold was as fol
lows:-In 1876, 81 ,253, ,920 mlc.; il
| 1877, $50, ,66S, 1903 mic; in 1878, So ,268

The Hip-POcket Idea.
From the Louisville Courier J Journal

from the Louisville COurler-JO Ournal.
The Mayor of Philadelphia, a few
days ago, issued proclamation against
the carriers of concealed weapons, which
is in some respects remarkable. There
is evidently s)me reason for such an
unusual proclamation. According to the
Philadelphia papers shooting is a regu-
lar feature Of that city, and the leading
citizens are in the habit OF Juggling re-
yolvers about in their hip-pockels. We
hope the Mayor will succeed In enforcing
the law II he can do SO in the face of
weak public sentiment against the pis-
tol carrying habit, he will accomplish
more than any other official in the
United States has been able to accom-
pllsh.
We think Mayor King is wrong in
his dogmatism that "whosoever carries
concealed deadly weapons carri IS also
the concealed thought of murder" That
is an untenable position, because many
thousands of presumably peaceable peo-
pie carry revolvers, because every bully
blackguard and drunkard carries a re-
volver, and the plea is that the "consti-
tutional right OF carrying arms" is re-
sorted to for purposes OF defense against
the rough and vicious classes of society.
| There is some logic in this position, but
it is very frequently made mere excuse
for conformity to very ugly fashion
awe go armed because we are liable tc
be attacked by rufiians," is plausible
enough, but the very assertion denotes
that we are not in high degree of civ
| ilization, which means, in its highes
sense, law, order, and peace. The very
parties, moreover, who urge the necess,
| ty are liable to become, and do very fire..
quently become, viOlators of the law
and exponents OF savagery. They d.
not always, as Mayor King says they do
carry "the concealed thought of muir
DER" but the thought Of murder is yer!
likely to enter the minds of very re
spectabl citizens, who have their hip
pockets supplied with revolvers, wheI
they are under sudden provocation
Every man, no matter how sanity hi
may be, is liable to become murderer
il he carries a loaded revolver abou
with him. That much is very certain
although we may not admit that the as
sertion OF Mayor King Is true.

VEGETABLE FIBRE WOOL.
Facts About the New HUNGARIAN
PrOceH1.


Process.
1t is reported from Dusseldorf that q
Hungarian has devised process for
successfully producing wool, or what
passes for such practically, from vege-
table fibre. The difficulty in mixing
wool with cotton and other vegetable
fibre for textile purposes has always
been the impossibility of dyeing and
milling both sorts homogeneously, and
the cause Of this is that the structure
of the two sorts of fibre is not the
same, the animal being curly or
"wooly" and the vegetable being
straight or silky. The new discovery
is simply process by which the latter
is made to take a crinkle like the for
mer, and 80 effectually that 1t will not
only dye as deep and as fast" a color
as the wool will, but will retain its ac-
quired popularity. 1t is much supe-
rior to shoddy, and is strong and
durable, as samples sent to the State
Department seem to show. Manufac-
turing companies are forming in
Europe and in Algiers for working this
''eosmos'' fibre. Samples of cloth
woven entirely from it have been pro-
duced which will bear inspection for
color, fineness, homogenousness and
strength. This invention is expected
to turn to valuable account IL rlmie
or rhea plant, which grows wild in
large districts in British and Dutch
India and in the French Algerian colo
nies. Specimens of partly prepared
stalks OF this plant show a strong and
silky long stapled fibre at one end,
while the oGher remains in it's natural
state the prepared fibre is capable OF
being treated like fax, and the ex-
pectation, therefore, is to work it in in
making linens. A company organized
in Dusseldorf propose to establish in
Algiers an agency with the needful
machinery, so that the plant can be
prepared on the spot and shipped in
bales, instead of the bulky packages it
makes in its natural stale. This
plant also grows abundantly in South
America and in the Southern and
Western parts of this country, and is
known as wild hemp, growing more
than six feet high. The process may
be defined as one for combing out
vegetable fibre and ''crimping" it. 1t
is not pretended that the ramie is bet
ter than the wool and fax, but that 1t
is very little inferior and is very much
cheaper. In some of the coarser silks
il has been experimentally used with
good success, and as temptation tc
further discoveries in textiles it is al
least very noteworthy.
