More RepublicS

Our dispatches yesterday indicated that
there might be two more republics estab-
lished within year or TWO. The changing
of Brazil from a monarchy to a republic
has brought to the surface the sentiment in
favor of a republic that exists in Australia
and Canada. Both OF these countries are
dependencies of Great Britain. The
territory Of each is of i'm
mense extent, and each is growing
rapidly in wealth and population. Neither
has any particular fault to find with the
government which it has at present, but in
each there is agrowing sentiment among
the people that they would have greater
prosperity unfef a republican form OF gov
eminent, and, bssf1es, they want to have
absolute control of their own political af
fairs.
It is well known that even in England
there is steadily Increasing sentiment in
favor of a republican,. form Of government.
This sentiment is. in measure, kept in sub
lection by frequent extensions of the elective
franchise. the English government is
about as mild form of monarchy as it is
possible to have, and the English people
enjoy an extraordinary degree Of freedom
under it. There are, however, features Of
it that do not meet with their approval 1t
is becoming more difficult to get parliament
to make what is deemed suitable provisions
for the members of the royal family.
The increasing popularity of republics is
due to the marvellous success of this republic,
and to the increase of intelligence among
the masses. The whole world has been
watching the United States since it became
a nation. Those who have longed for
greater liberty for the people have hoped
for its success, while those who have little
sympathy with the masses have wished for
its failure. 1t was not until after
the civil war demonstrated how capable it
was of resisting destructive forces
that confidence in its stability was
fully established. Since that conflict the
advocates Of monarchies have ceased to
predict its early dissolution, and the senti
ment in favor of republican form of gov
eminent among the people of monarchical
nations has spread and strengthened
The republic in Brazil may not become
firmly established without violence, owing
to the character of the population, but it
will live. The country will not go back TO
a monarchy. The day of hereditary rule
there is over, and, it is highly probable,
will soon be over in some of the other coun-
tries in which it now exists.

Pension Commissioner Raum has for

Mr.. Raums solicitation for government
officials is both newborn aud remarkable.
Some years ago. when he occupied differ

for his success in bleeding department
employees on the eve of an election In tue
case of tho Little Sisters of the Poor, the
employees need not subscribe any thing unless
they want to, but Mr.. Raum gave them to

funds that they must come down with
the cash or be bounced. Perhaps he now
wants them TO save up their money until
the next presidential campaign.

The Administrations Chance.

The administration now has a chance to
show the country whether or not it is in
favor of enforcing the civil service laws. 1t
asserts taat it is in favor Of enforcing them,
but its sincerity is a matter of considerable
doubt.
While the Virginia campaign was in
progresssths 'Old Dominion Republican
League" solicited contributions from the
department employees in Washington for
campaign purposes. The civil service COM
missioners have made report to the Presi-
dent, it is SAID, in which they say that the
officers Of the league are guilty Of violating
the law, which prohibits the solicitation of
contributions from office-hclders for cam
paign purposes. and have recommended the
prosecution of the offenders.
What course is the President going TO
pursue in the matter9 The answer TO that
question is waited for with a good deal Of
interest. II he acts in accordance with the
recommendation Of the commissioners he
will prove that he has the courage to live
up 10 his promises, but if he takes no no
tice of the recommendation it will be gen.
orally understood that he winks at viola
tons OF the civil service laws while pretend
ing to enforce those laws.
No doubt many of the republican leaders
have already advised him to pigeon-hole the
report and recommendation of the civil SER
vice commissioners. Whatever money was
collected in violation Of the civil service laws
was used TO help Malone in his campaign,
and it is well known that the President was
very anxious that Malone should be sue
cessful 1t will be an unpleasant duty for
him to perform, therefore, to prosecute
those who violated the law in their efforts
to do what he wanted DONE
The Presidents duty is plain, however.
1t is his duty to order the laws enforced,
even though his friends should be hurt.
To refuse to support the commissioners
would be to shirk his duty and admit that
he has no sympathy with civil service
reform. The commissioners have done
their duty. VIII the President do his9

The Old Songs.

S. Greenwood in Detroit Free Press
Over and over again.
In every time and tongue,
In every style and strain
Have the worlds old songs been sung,
Since the sign from the soul was stirred
Since the heart of man was broken.
Have the notes of despair been heard
And the rhythm of pain been spoken.
The song that you sing today,
Sweet on the printed pages,
Was sung in the far away,
In the youth of the WORKOUT ages:
The charm of your love-born tune,
The gems that your lines uncover,
Were set in some savage tune
By the heart of some pagan lover.
The fancies that fill your rhymes,
The visions that haunt your lays,
Are the specters of olden times
And the ghosts of forgotten days;
He players on notes of woe,
Ye dreamers of love and sorrow,
They sang in the years ago.
The songs you will sing tomorrow.
But what if the rhymes are new,
And what if the thoughts are old,
If the touch of the chord be true
And the flight of the singer bold!
Let them come to us still again,
Tomorrow and yet hereafter,
Fresh as mornings rain,
Old as the sob and the laughter.

A republican organ, itself at heart bitterly
opposed to the civil service system, notes
that there is less talk among republican
members of congress about repeating the
civil service law than there was a month or
so ago. 1.-THE fact is" it says, that man
who goes to congress, and wants to stay
there, must make up his mind that the
civil service act has come to stay also. "
Exactly. The republicans, as party, are
opposed to civil service reform. They want
to feed upon government pap. They have
found out, however, that a maj ity of the
people are in favor OF the merit system.
and they dars afraid to speak out, lest, in
stead of getting more Offices, they lose
many that they already have.

Senator Allison believes that he is going

that Governor-elect Boies is very popular

the state, and that enough republicans in the

Senator Allison is very nice man, and his
habit of putting on old clothes and slou CHI
hat every four years and attending country
fairs in Iowa may be very good thing for
his political welfare, but he seems to have
slipped up this year. Perhaps his clothes
were not sufficiently Anticipated, but it is
more probable that he is on the wrong side

The Farmers Prosnero,1s.

This has been an exceptionally good
season for the farmers of Georgia. 1t is
probable that they are more nearly out of
debt than they have been at any time since
the war. About all crops have been good,
the cotton crop particularly so, and the
prices for cotton have been excellent since
the opening Of the season.
The farmers, as general thing have
settled with their factors fully, and have a
great deal of cotton yet on hand. The
merchants report excellent collections,
which shows that the farmers have paid I'D
their obligations to the country storekeep-
ers. A member of large fertilizer firm said
yesterday that his collections this year were
one-third better than they were last year,
and that his sales were far greater this year
than they had been in any previous year.
When the farmers are prosperous bust
ness of all kinds is in a f1ourishing condi-
ton. If the farmers of Georgia could have
three or four years in succession like this
one the talk about farming not paying and
about farmers getting poorer would cease
in this state.
The farmers are not now giving their
whole time and attention to cotton as they
once did. They are raising food crops as
we'll as money crop, and they find that
good results follow this diversified system.
The all cotton system belongs to the past.
1t has passed away never to return. The
farmers can make corn and bacon cheaper
than they can buy them, though it required
long time for them to be convinced of the
fact
The farmers will have a happy thanks
giving, and a merry Christmas. They SEQ
their way clearly for meeting all their OBJ
legations, and they can afford to spend
something to make their families happy.

Should the Worlds Fair be Postponed
In his annual address before the National
Society of Mechanical Engineers in New
York the other day, President Towne made
statement which is certain to be widely
discussed. 1t was that a successful worlds
fair could not be held in this country in
1892. His reason for saying this was that
the time for preparation is too short. The
Paris exposition required four years for
preparation. and the director general of the
Philadelphia centennial was appointed three
years before the gates were opened. 1t is
proposed to make the Columbus exposition
much more elaborate than that of 1876, and
yet if 1t is held in 1892, less than two and a
half years will be allowed for arranging
for 1T. Mr.. Towne said that from eighty to
100 acres of buildings would be required,
and that it would be q physical and engi-
neering impossibly to construct them prop
erly in the time named. He thought that
at least four years would be required.
1t is not probable, however, that Mr..
Towne's views will lead to a postponement
of the exposition. The exposition is in
tended to celebrate the 4O0th anniversary
of the discovery of America, and TO hold it
two years after that anniversary would be
rather out of place. Mr.. Towne may say
that sentiment alone calls for 1892 as the
year, but it is sentiment which is shared
by all of the people, and if the exposition is
not held then, it will not be held at all.
Mr.. Towne may have reviewed che mat
ter theoretically. 1t is quite true that the
time for preparation is short, but American
energy is capable of doing wonderful
things, and it may be assumed that the
emergency will be met. Probably if Mr..
Towne himself were asked to get the proper
buildings ready in time, he would take the
contract, and would show that such a thing
could be done. Some of the other members
of the society of mechanical engineers do
not agree with his views.

like justice to the south in the matter of
such appropriations, and even the last
