A Boom in Building.

From the New York Sun.
The officers of all the banks can tell
of loans refused because of the dubious
outlook for investment. although the
security offered would have been con-
sidered sound in ordinary times. Ar
chitects in all the large cities were
holding plans in allegiance until the
Presidential question was settled
right. In Chicago specifications call
ing for an outlay Of $I2, 100000 had
been put away on the shelf. The
same condition of things ruled in New
York. A boom in building may now
be reasonably looked for. In fact,
there is scarcely an industry which
will not feel the impetus that comes
from returning confidence.

General Expansion of Business Du-
ties of Republicans.

ties or Republicans.
From our regular correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov. o.--Had it been
possible for the voters to have seen one
week before election the remarkable
demonstration of the revival of public
confidence which has come from every
section of the country since the cleo
ton of Maj. Mckinley, there is no
doubt that Mckinley and Hobart's
popular majority would have been
million greater than it is. Republi-
cans had no doubt that apprehension
caused by the fear of those who con-
trolled money that all our standards
of value might be upset had done
more to paralyze business than any
other one thing, and they so told the
people from every stump and through
the columns of every Republican paper.
They convinced many, but if the start
ing up of idle mills and manufactures
and the Inauguration of great enter
prises involving vast expenditures and
the employment ofall the unemployed
who wish to be employed could have
taken place before the election a mil
lion more would have been convinced
and would have voted for real pros
perity instead of for chimera.
However, it was only by waiting
until restoration of Republican con-
troll, executive and legislative, was
absolutely assured. that the great
business interests of the country, the
prosperity of which Involves the pros
perity of all our people, could show to
the world the faith felt in the wisdom
of the Republican party. The Repub-
lican who does not feel his heart swell
with pride merely to belong to an or
ganization which can inspire such
faith must be cold blooded indeed.
The news columns of the press since
the election of Mckinley and Hobart
was announced have, by just printing
the cold facts about the actual, not
prospective, revival in almost every
part of the country and in almost
every line of industry and business,
paid the highest tribute of praise to
the Republican party ever paid to any
political organization in any country
in the history of the world.
1t is now for the Republicans to
show to the world that this tribute
was deserved. No one who is familiar
with the life and record of President
elect Mckinley and Of those of the
Republicans elected to the ffty-ffth
Congress and those holding seats in
the Senate can entertain q doubt on
that subject. With President McRin-
ley to suggest and Speaker Reed. the
Republican majority In the House, and
the hoped for Republican majority in
the Senate, to execute. the legislation

VEGETABLE FREAKS.
Nature Plays Some Odd Franks I'm
the Tropical Forests.
From st. Nicholas.

EAOAtA 80 ANtthQtN1e
He who lives in the temperate zone
is accustomed to nature on her best
behavior. We see her orderly ways
in the woods, where pines and oaks,
poplars and naples, alders and will
lows, and other forest trees have roots
that grow down into the ground and
limbs that grow properly up and out
into the air.
But elsewhere nature has other
moods and methods In tropical
forest there is none Of this air Of dig
nifty and good principle. The odd
pranks, and wild absurdities, the veg
etable freaks that she is there guilty
Of make difference that is astonish-
ing.
Trees apparently grow upside down,
and assume all sorts Of eccentric
shapes Great dragging vines sprawl
over everything, twisting and dis
torting the poor tired trees until they
are crippled for life with what
looks like rheumatism. The heavy
rains and the hot sun make the plants
grow rapidly, and there are fierce
fights to see which shall win little
space in all that tangle Such push
ing. such climbing
Then there is the orchid, clinging,
fringelike, everywhere--frail and love-
ly, swinging back and forth in the
soft air; but it has no conscience. 1t
will not do stroke Of honest work
and Is determined to live on some one
else, in which 1t certainly succeeds.
And there. too, Is the wild pine
apple called in the West Indies the
''pine, y which takes root in the rich
mold lying on the upper sides of the
largest branches of the nightiest and
oldest Of the trees Where its diverg-
ing leaves start a cup is formed, which
catches the rain and stores it up for
the dry season. In this water little
tree frogs and small crabs live. and
it is told that years ago one of the ex-
petitions sent against the fierce Ma
rooners in the mountains Of Jamaica
would have persisted from thirst had
it not been for the little pines and
their tiny reservoirs.

Will Be Appreciated.

From the Omaha Bee.
President Cleveland has kindly ex-
tended the classified civil service list
to include 2, 100 more Federal employees
in the Navy Department. presumably
to relieve his successor Of the pressure
which office-seekers might bring to
secure the places in question. This
thoughtfulness will doubtless be fully
appreciated by President Mckinley.

what the United States Needs.

From the Toronto Mail and Empire.
The silver movement derived its
strength from hard times. Depres-
sion was aggravated by the politicians
who wasted months tinkering with
the tariff and reforming the currency.
What the United States now wants is
to be let alone. With a protective
tariff and an assured gold standard,
there cannot fail to be great revival
Of business there. Of which the benefit
will not be unfelt by the classes that
embraced the silver heresy.

A Shining Opportunity Lost.
From the indianapolis News.

From the indianapolis News.
The man who bore no part In the
great fight for sound money which
has Just been won has lost one of
those shining opportunities which
once lost can never be regained. On
other fields such man may win fame
and the praise Of his fellow-men. but
the field which he has abandoned has
been won and won forever. To the
great victory he can contribute moth
ing. He failed in the hour Of trial,
and the shame of the failure must be
borne forever.

WORDS FRon MR.. Mckinley.
Our Next President Grateful for Sup-
port Given Him.

Canton, o., Nov. g. President
elect Mckinley last night sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to Mark Hanna, at
New York:
Canton, o., Nov, s.
''To Hon. NJ A. Hanna, Waldorf Ho-
tel, New York:
Your telegraphic message an
nouncing the result of the election
has been received. / beg you to ac-
cept my hearty thanks for your great
services in the cause of Sound Money
and Protection throughout the cam
paign now closed and gloriously won.
They were most generous and effective
aud will receive the warm approba-
ton of your countrymen everywhere.
! will be pleased to have you convey
to your associates OF the National
Committee my high appreciation of
their efficient services.
The people in their majesty. ignov-
ing party lines, have declared their
detestation OF reputation and dishon-
or, in whatever specious guise they
may be presented. They have, with
the same mighty power, affirmed
their devotion to law and order and
their undertaking respect for justice
and the courts.
.They have maintained their unfal-
tering determination to support and up
hold the constituted authorities Of the
country and have thereby given new
vigor and strength to our free insti-
buttons. They have, indeed, again
consecrated themselves to the country,
and baptized the cherished ordinances
of free government with a new and
holy patriotism.
The victory is not to party or sec
ton, but of and for the whole Ameri-
can people. Not the least Of the tri-
umphs of the election is the oblitera-
ton Of sectional lines in the Republic.
We have demonstrated to the world
that we are reunited people in pur-
pose as in name. We have manifest
ed in the great cause the spirit of fra
ternity and brotherhood that should
always characterize our common and
equal citizenship, and have proven
conclusively that in a country Of equal
privileges and equal opportunity the
insidious doctrine of hate, or Of class
or sectional distinctions, cannot pre-
vail.
"Let us, as Americans, straightway
devote ourselves to the upbuilding of
America; to the peace, honor and
glory of our common country. Party
discussions should no longer divide
or rack the public mind; nor the zeal
or temper of either side deter any cit
izen from patriotic devotion to the
good of all.
[Signed. "WM. MCKINLEY"

From the Brooklyn standardization.

From the Brooklyn standard Union.
Four years ago the election Of a
Democratic President and Congress
discouraged business men and finally
paralyzed enterprise. The choice of
Republican President and. Congress
has started furnace fires and set the
wheels Of industry moving. In No
vember, 1892, there was apprehension
and uncertainty, whereas at this time
there is confidence and the brightest
hopes.

will be such as will expand and make
permanent the business boom which
started the hour that Republican sue
cess was assured, and which will, it is
confidently believed continue to grow
and grow until the country enjoys a
long era Of the greatest prosperity in
its history. And one of the good
things about it will be that the mis-
guided Popocrats who tried so hard to
prevent Republican success will be
equal sharers in the general prosper
ity. 1t ought to make them see things
as they really are, instead Of as they
are represented by demagogues who
try to trade upon rhard tines and
public credulity.
That some appointments OF impor-
lance will be rendered to gold Demo
Gratis for their assistance in the cam
paign is probable, but / have talked
with no Republicans who believe that
they will include cabinet position.
The diplomatic service offers oppor-
tunities. A man has only to be a
patriotic American to represent his
country satisfactorily abroad, but a
member of the Cabinet must be in
sympathy with all the policies Of the
head ofthe administration under which
he serves, or he disarranges machinery
which ought to run smoothly to get
the best results.
Senator Quay stopped in Washing
ton long enough while on his way to
Florida, where he will fish and rest
until Congress meets, to express the
opinion that there was a probability
that the House Emergency Tariff Bill,
passed at the last session and held up
in the Senate by the refusal of some
of the Republican Silver Senator'S to
support it unless free coinage amend
ment was attached. might be taken up
and passed at the coming session.
Senator Quay did not enter into de-
tails--he seldom does--as to why he
thought the bill might be passed. It
is supposed that he thinks, as many
others do, that the Republican Silver
Senators, seeing the absolute impos-
sibility of securing silver legislation,
will vote for the bill which would, If
enacted into law, provide the gov
eminent with revenue enough to make
the receipts more than equal heexpen-
ditures. While Mr.. Cleveland has
never said that he would sign this
bill, the impression is general that he
would not veto it. So that if passed
by the Senate, it is reasonably certain
to become law.
Senator Butler, the Populist Chair
man, rather rubbed it in on the Demo
Gratis when he issued an address to
the country putting all the blame tor
defeat on them, and asserting that the
Populists will be the principal oppo-
nents of the Republicans in 1900. The
address has made the Democrats hop
ping mad, but Butler thinks them of
so little consequence now that he
doesn't care.

The Greatest Obstacle to savannah.


There is in Savannah a certain class of
people who are incapable of conceding a
conscientious motive to any one who diff
fer with them on any public issue. This
is the reason. why there has always. been
so much dissension, and a lack of har-
mony in the community. How often have
we heard it said such people do not pull
together, and VINO can deny this charge?
If we were asked what is the greatest OBJ
stacle to a great future for this city, we
should unhesitatingly say it is the indis-
position or inability of our people to pull
together. 1 do not mean to say that the
inability Of our people to agree unani-
mously on all public issues is an unusual
or even a very bad thing, for it would be
strange indeed if a community could be
found where public issues do not arouse
difference of opinion. 1t is the intense
partisan spirit displayed that 1 consider
hurtful to the city. In the first place the
unwillingness of one side to concede hon
esty of purpose to the other destroys con-
fdence and engenders bitterness which
unfortunately does not disappear with the
settlement of an issue or with the passing
Of an election. There is too great a dis
position to draw factional lines. If a citi-
zen happens to entertain views on some
public issue that correspond with the
views of one of the factions, the other
side Immediately looks upon him as an
ayowed enemy. 1 have heard a leader of
one OF the factions declare che who is not
Tor US is against u.s." have no doubt that
the gentleman in question considers the
cause of his faction quite as sacred and
important as the one to which the above
quotation was so ittingly applied, but
there may be those who cannot conscien-
uousy accept all of his peculiar ideas,
While heartily agreeing with him in the
MAN, but because you will not allow him
70 teach you things about which you are
III position to know more than he, you
are UNITED for the society of saints to
which he belongs.
repeat that this form of partisan pre-
JUDGE, of downright bigotry, is hurtful to
our city. 1t is a barrier to those sincere
business and social relations which are
SO necessary to concerted effort to a lib
eral patriotic spirit, which sets aside all
thlhgs for the good of the community at
large 1t is the very opposite of broad
progressive spirit which harmonizes ev-
erythlng in the interest of progress. do
not think that Savannah, our beautiful
city by the sea, surrounded as she is with
50 many cherished memories of the past,
80 accomplish very much until our peo-
PIE nave learned to place more confidence
IA each other, instead of respecting the
laeas and wishes of one portion of the
