Since the organization of the gov

Since the organization of the gov
ernment of the United States, there
have been only three great political
parties-the Federal, the Democratic
and the Republican. Many others
have existed and reached national
Importance and even national sue,
cess, as in the case of the Wing par
sy; but there have been only three
Yarties which stamped their impress
upon the government The Federal
party was the creation of Washing
ton, Hamilton and others, woh be-
ieVed IN a strong government with
little faith in popular rule. Its sue
cess was due chiefly to the personal
strength of Washington, and when
he was yet in Office John Adams, his
party successor, narrowly escape de-
feat by Jefferson, the Democratic
leader. When Washington was out
of Office, the federal party speedily
disintegrated under the able assaults
of jefferson and his followers, and in
1900 Jefferson routed Adams and
Federalism when the party which
organized the patty practically per-
ished. The teories of Federalism
fingered for years in shape of a some
times able but generally feeble Oppo-
sition, but its work was not only
done in 1900, but that year dated the
undoing of much tqat it had done
in shaping the policy of the new Re-
public.
The Democratic party created by
Jefferson and brought to power in
1900, practically ruled the nation
and shaped it's policy for the period
of sixty years. There were several
breaks in the presidential line, but
they were Democratic suicides rather
than Federal or Wing victories, and
they did not even halt, much less re
verse, the Democratic theory of pro
gressive administration. The elec
tion of John Quincy Adams in 1924
was an accident, resulting from
three Democratic candidates, that
threw the election into the House
and the elections of Harrison in 184C
and Taylor in 1S4S were caused by
Democratic feuds and demoraliza
ton. The younger Adams made nj
departure in his administration; Har
Eison did and was succeeded Tyler
who returned ia the democracy anC
annexed Texas, and Tylor died and
gave Fillmore the power to precipi
tate the final disruption of the Whie
party. For sixty years, from 1906
TO 1860, the policy of the nationa
government practically Democratic
and it was under that policy that the
vast accessions of territory were
made which now round out the
grandeur of the best government Of
the earth.

language that is universal and is as
old as civilization.
We have dead languages, ancient
Languages that still live, though
greatly changed from their original
make up, and we have modern Ian
guages that are ever changing and
have only national range in many
instances.
I meet Frenchman and if he talks
only in his mother tongue I cannot
understand a word he says; the same
with a German, an italian, a Span
lard, or those of numerous other
nationalites We cannot communi-
cate our thoughts to one another by
a spoken language. But there is one
language which is the same in all
civilized nations and tongues, and no
matter whether you meet French,
German or any other strange tongue,
if you address him in that Universal
language, or he addresses you, you
can understand each other and your
very souls blend together in the
heavenly strains of sweet music.
You may not understand his words,
but if you know the scale of music
in English, you know that language
which is universal to the civilized
world and can follow the scale
through all the tones and semi-tones
which are common to all Christen-
dom, and in which all can unite on
an equality. Then we are forced to
the conclusion that music is a part
of our nature, and we can never at.
tain to the utmost limit of develop.
ment of the noblest part of man un.
less we can acquire musical educa
tion.
These thoughts have been brought
up by the contemplation of the musi
cal Concert given at Plain Dealing
on the evening of the 21st August
: by Prof. E. 7. Hildebrand, of Day
ton (Va.) Musical College, at tht
close of the Normal Music schoo
taught by him at that place.
Programmes were sent out with
list of pieces to be sung and played
, on the piano and organ, and cor
dial invitation to everybody to at
tend-admission fee only Is cents.
Notwithstanding the oppressivel,,
> warm evening the Baptist churcl
house was crowded to the utmost o

and goodly number came who wer
unable to obtain seats till chairs wer,

!. in the way of musical performance
by this noted Professor and clas
and they were not disappointed. In
J deed I think that the audience gen
orally was agreeably surprised at tn
almost perfect training of the clas
, in so short time-only one schclas
tic month.
It would be unjust to the schoo
to single out certain ones as being
entitled to extra notice or praise, bu
this rustic spectator cannot forbea

fealty to foreign power; FREQ from the
incendiary belief of the anarchists and
radical socialism, and possessed of such
health and means as to reasonably assure
us that they will not become public
charges.
Immigrants thus qualified the Ameri
can Republic can take and digest for
some time to come, but not even these in
too large numbers. 1t would, therefore,
be neither unwise nor harsh to require
that possession of these essentials shall
be made manifest before United States
officials at the ports of departure, and
that such proving shall be a condition
precedent to shipping, the penalty for
non-observance being return at the cost
of the carrier.

THE WHALEBACKS.

It is highly probable that the resump-
ton of ocean carrying trade by the
United States is to be greatly facilitated
by the assistance of the new freight boats
of the West called whalebacks.
This new and novel freighting craft
was invented by Captain McDougall of
Duluth. They are constructed at Duluth
and West Superior, and are, in brief,
very long, almost tubular boats, with
only a little elevated deck exposure aft.
Their sides really rise and roll over into
hoods, where buIwarks usually are, and
these hoods continue one-third inward
on each side, so that the "whaleback'
looks not unlike bottle floating upon its
side if we fancy the top oval sliced off
One-third. In this central third of beam
we find the deck, and here are the matches.
But this whole space is, like the sides, OF
riveted steel plates. Aft there is hurri-
cane-deck and forward pilot-house.
Save these, and the tunnels, there are no
masts. spars or rigging. The motive
power is steam, and the medium twin
screws.
One of these peculiar ships, the Wet
more, built at West Superior of steel
made from Lake Superior iron, is 265 feet
long; she took recently 65,O00 bushels of
grain in bulk and drew but fourteen feet
of water, and was thus enabled to pass
from the lakes through the Welland
Canal and into the st. Lawrence. At
Kingston she unloaded her cargo into
lighters to lessen her draft and enable
her to shoot the rapids, which she did
successfully. AT Montreal she loaded
again and made the trip to Liverpool,
consuming only one-third as much coal
as an ordinary freighting steamer would
have required. OF course she cannot re-
turn to Duluth, because her length pro-
hibits her passing through the locks
around the st. Lawrence rapids, but she
could be cut in two and passed through
in parts.
However, there will be plenty of serv-
ice for a hundred of her class in salt
water, now that their entire seaworthi-
ness and economy Of fuel have been
demonstrated. But in time a waterway
from the lakes to tide viii be provided
that will take these whaIebacks drawing
twenty feet and measuring 800 feet in
length with 100000 bushels of grain ca
pacity.
These carrying monsters are practi-
cally 'unsinkable"; they defy wind and
wave, and have not an inch of waste
room. But for the engine-room, the coal
bunkers, and few small cabins for the
officers and crew, they are throughout
their length devoted to carriage in bulk,
and the storage of the greatest possible
amount of freight. They are built upon
Michigan and Wisconsin shores of West
ern iron and steel and by Western arti-
sans, so that the best and most economic
ocean freight carriers of the country may
yet be those built by the land lubbers OF
the West, who never get sniff of salt
fog.

WHAT SHOULD BE THE RESTRIC-
TIONS9

IIONSE
The Baltimore Herald says that it is
evident that all thinking men are now
agreed that there must be a new limit
placed upon the influx of foreigners.
That is putting it too strong, though we
sincerely wish the statement were true
For there are thinking men, a few, who
honestly hold to the idea that this de-
mand for greater restrictive measures is
opposed to the American principle" as
they termit. By which they mean the
doctrine that the foreigner has an abso-
Lutte right to come among US, and that
this is the home for whomsoever offers to
enter. There are a few others who find
self-interest promoted by the open door
of immigration, and a very considerable
class of thinking people who are indiffer-
ent upon the subject.
But the mass of the people who have
the good of their country at heart are
agreed that the bars should be put mp
higher. But, as the Herald says, there is
not unity of opinion as to means; there
is not concurrence as to the extent and
severity of the limitation. Upon those
details there is wide divergence of views.
Shall the test of desirability be the means
in possession of the immigrant; his guar
antee that he will not become a public
charge; his freedom from criminal taint;
his educational qualifications; his ability
to pay head tax; his knowledge of the
American system and institutions; or
shall there be exclusion by limitation of
numbers from one country in each of
given periods?
We cannot furnish an asylum for all
the dwellers of Europe; if we could it
would not bo desirable We are build
ing nation and into it we need to put
the very best timber. What we want is
such restriction as viii result in admit
ting only the class that is assimilative, not
conyicts, prostitutes, paupers or idiots;
but those intelligent; reasonably in
formed concerning our system of gov
ernment; sincerely desirous of becoming
American; willing at once to forswear

SETH Low, in the September Century,
treating Of the government of cities in the
United States, pronounces undeniable
truths when he says: $50 long as the city
chooses officials on party lines it must
expect them to be for party first, and
for the city's welfare second. The spoils
system as applied to the administration
of the city is fatal to any high degree of
efficiency. Longer tenure of Office for
subordinates, and security of position in
return for faithful discharge OF duty, will
do much toward securing efficient serv-
ice." Really, the concise sentences of
Mr.. Low indicate generally what the
ideal city government should be. That
is, freedom from political domination; no
patronage as a reward; service retention
during efficiency and faithfulness, up to
at least, q reasonable term Of years.

THE RETURN TO THE SEA.


t he ReOiea0 Of RevieaUS styles the con-
struction of the new navy "Our Return
to the Sea- It is well entitl ed We
have for quarter of century turned
our attention inward, to railroad build
ing, land acquiring and State developing,
and it was full time to devote some Of
our energy to things outward with a
view of taking the place due us among
nations, on the high seas and writing for
ourselves what England did hundred
years ago and more-''trade follows the
flag" The ReUielo well says:
TIE main railroad system is now built and
the first hand-to-hand struggle with nature
for the possession OF the wilderness is enGei.
There is vast room for capital, labor ana ad-
ditlonal population in the further utilization
OF the agricultural ana other natural re-
sources OF America, but the era OF rapid,
speculative conquest is now closed. In these
past years there have been many reasons
given 10 explain the disappearance OF the
American merchant marine from the high
seas. And while one and another OF THESE
reasons may have haG some justification, 1t IS
enough to rec o. gniZe the one main fact that
the United States as a nation abandoned the
ocean treghting business simply because the
internal deyelopmCn of America offered far
better remuneration to our capital and our
labor. The times have changed somewhat;
and there are unmistakable marks ora strong
disposition TO return TO the sea. The new

The recent severe earthquake shocks
throughout the west beyond the Missis-
sippi will have tendency to restrain the
people of that section from criticising
California as an earthquake country. In
recent years seismic disturbances have
been so widely distributed over the con-
tinent that there is really no considerable
section that has been free from them.
