ON the country. And now comes

from the country. And now comes
the statement that Sagasta, the Span
ish premier, has announced willing
ness to submit the question of popu-
lar form of government to the people
of that country if he found himself in
the presence of a Republican majority
in parliament; which circumstance in
dicates very clearly that the question
is uppermost in the minds OF the
Spaniards. A like condition also OBJ
tains among the people, subjects OF
other mouarchies, though perhaps not
so advanced in organization IS those
mentioned. And as little as it may be
thought by the casual observer, this
growth of sentiment, aye, this ever
increasing popular demand for self
goyernment-wh ich is but another
name for human liberty-is the natural
result of the spread of Christianity.
The question of soul liberty and its
consequent freedom of action has been
the question of ages. True, it was
covered up and hidden from view for
centuries, but it is uppermost ROW
aud will SO continue until the univcr-
sal brotherhood of mau is acknowi-
edged by all countries and all people.

The Atlanta Constitution does not

south's material interests through the

development. All of the old condi-
tioas have changed. We no longer
boast that this is an exclusively agri-
cultural section: we are striving to
build up all sorts of industries, from
the smallest 10 the greatest; we are
even striving TO compete with New
England in some lines of manufact-
urcs. In fine, the people of this sec

dustries. The most unintelligent far
mer knows that he must have nearer
home markets before he can prosper,

have prospered, and he knows that
the building up of industries in the
south will give him these home mark

vexed question as offered by the lead
Ing southern journal above quoted we
fear will not serve to close the diver
gcncc between the two wings of the

shocking to the refined sensibilities of
presidents ardent admirers. lie
stated that the president was welded
to Jeflersonian simplicity. 1t Is less
than n month since the president was
welded TO Miss frankie Folsom, and
back of that some time his name was
associated with that of woman
named HalpIn. The next thing we
expect 10 hear of the president is that
he is running around trying TO find cut

Henderson's remarks were most with

merited by the circumstance which
brought them forth. See house pro-

sue Sears and get $1,000. She swore to
an affidavit to that effect. She said she
had lied TO Lawyer Bales in saying
that her trouble was caused by
Sears. She was urged by the
detectives, who posted her what TO say to

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Nov. 1.-THE
story OF the use Of the Pennsylvania rail-
road surplus fund for the purpose Of ac-
curing controlling interest in the Chi
cage Northwest Railroad company
is pronounced by leading cfiicer OF the
former company as utterly without foun-
dation. The same official said further;
"The rumor doubtless arose from the fact
| that the directors in their recent an
nual inspection departed from their
customary programme and went as
far west as Omaha and passed
over a norton Of the Northwestern line.
This was done simply to get an idea OF
the growth Of the region trayersed, and
without any purpose TO extend the com
pauy's possessions. Unless / am very
much mistaken, President Roberts would
never consent to an extension beyond the
Mississippi. He has repeatedly declared
himself on this point The prominent
lronman, who IS a director Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company, and who has
returned from Chicago, as stated In the
published report OF the matter, Is pro-
nounced a myth"
An officer OF the the treasurer's depart
ment OF the company, speaking Of the
use Of the surplus fund for the object In
question, said "That is impossible. The
fund could not be used for any such pur-
pose. II is in the form of securities that
draw interest Tor lines controlled by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company. Does
any sane person suppose we could sell
our stock In the Philadelphia, Whining
ton & Baltimore railroad company for
any such object as an extension in the
Northwest?"
