DR.. Albert Shaw divides American
pessimists into two classes those Of the
east and those Of the west. He says
pessimism in the east is owing to either
the morbid timidity Of the very rich
or the shallow ignorance Of the small
part Of community that is proud Of
knowing more about Europe than about
the United States As to western peo-
pie who believe the country is going to
ruin, they are persons who have expe-
rienced the bitterness Of failure or Of
temporary mischance in enterprises es-
sentially speculative in their nature. =
In other words, eastern people are blue
and despondent because they are toe
rich, western people because they arc
too poor.

UndemOcratic Democracy.

The minority report of the House commit
tee on foreign affairs on the resolution to
censure Ambassador Bayard for his almost
universally condemned speeches on Ameri-
can public life and politics is of course. a
purely democratic document. This same
report, however. has in 1t most undemo-
cratic doctrine, for it Is there stated that
the proposed action is unwarranted and
unprecedented. Representatives of the Uni
ted States in foreign countries are, properly
and exclusively. as to the regulation Of the
propriety of their conduct, under the direc-
lion and control of the executive depart
ment of the government, and any interfer-
ence by Congress in this respect can only
have the effect of detractlng from the dig
nifty and usefulness of our foreign service
The underlying sentiment of that announce
ment is SO nearly monarchical that think
ing people may reasonably wonder what
latter-day democracy Is coming to. 1t is
not easy TO suppose that Thomas jefferson
ever thought it likely that those who claim
to be his followers would favor the abso-
lutism which Is openly advocated by the
democratic minority of the House commit
tee on foreign affairs.

n Political Nix-VD.

Whether the free-silver apostles in the
Senate have helped or hindered their cause
by their Incorporating opposition to the
revenue bill IS a matter that time and the
forthcoming elections only can make plain,
but IT Is certain that not for many years
has there been such a mixed-up condition
OF political affairs as now prevails And
the condition seems likely to continue for
season, for those who are now most con-
spi1uous iii their advocacy of free silver
decline to leave the republican party, all
though many of their followers want them

associates are earnest in suggesting divorce
proceedings. Free silver men who are also
democrats are equally unwilling to forsake
their party entirely; they hold on to men,
hership with a yigor which suggests that
their faith in the silver idol is of the sort
that wayers. White metal republicans and
democrats alike seem imbued with the
missionary spirit that hopes against hope
for the conversion of both the old organiza-
lions. and TO this spirit they have added
that variety of cautious shrewdness which
was conspicuously absent in the dog who

Conscience and Business,

A remarkable distinction was that made
yesterday by the attorney for the Central
Pacific railroad before a committee of the
House of Representatives engaged in the
consideration of Pacific railroad matters. AS
is Well understood, the Pacific railroads are
now engaged in an extremely earnest effort
to avoid anything that looks like settle.
ment of their Indebtedness to the United
States. Questions were being fired at the
attorney by Representative Boatner and in
reply to one of them Mr. Hubbard said that
if Mr.. Boatner wanted to know what q
man Of sensitive conscience would do under
such circumstances he would reply that ne
might make further provisions for the debt,
as suggested but If the matter was put as
business proposition he would say that
there was no requirement that such policy
should be followed From the Pacific rail-
roads standpoint II Is probably true that
conscience and business are entirely d,sas-
ISOLATED, but 1t must not be accepted as a
general truth that American men of busi-
ness are deaf to the promptings of the still
small voice" If the Pacific railroads had
been constructed and managed by men pos
sessed Of sensitive consciences the chances
are that five or six men who acquired vast
wealth under purely business conditions
would never have been more than moder-
ately rich, while the money loaned would
long ago have been repaid.

VIII Pass the Free Library Bill.

The last of the congressional DIRECTORS
did not vanish with the promotion of Kill
gore ard the defeat of Holman. but it is
rot likely that there is to be found in the
present Congress either senator or repre-
objection to the free public library bill
which the Board of Trade is anxious to
have enacted into law and which The Star
has so consistently and persistently cham
pioned. The necessity for such legislation
was made plain to the House District COM
mittee yesterday, and from the expressions
voluntarily given by members of the COM
mittee at the close Of the hearing it seems
certain that a favorable report will re-
suit. The measure is devoid of any COM
plications likely to arouse even the faintest
show of antagonfSm: it provides only for
the establishment and maintenance of an
institution which would long have been

New Road From Chic.ro-N.x.c

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
A gasoline railroad from a western city
probably Chicago-to Washington was the
proposition outlined recently in a special
to The Star from Springfield. Ohio The
Ohio section of the franchise seems to have
been agreed upon and construction Is prom
ised as soon as the preliminaries have been
settled. The plan Is to run the cars
through over the old National road--a his
toric thoroughfare. Just what the Ohio
legislature has done or is doing In this mat
ter is not quite clear but it is far from casy
to imagine that any legislature not entirely
corrupt would grant right of way on a
public road to q corporation bent upon
competing with steam railroads. 1t will be
admitted by anyone that competition in all
lines of business Is desirable, for it both
improves and cheapens the product. but
there are times when competition costs the
public much more than the public can af-

American sympathy in recent South Afrf-
can matters has been largely with the
Beers. 1t was the natural thing to admire
the sturdy courage and other desirable
qualities displayed by the tranSplanted
Dutchmen who were resisting what APP
peared to be land-grabbing operation on
the part Of England. One phase of the
question has. however, received less of
American attention than 1t deserves for it
concerns a number Of Americans-a num-
Der which is steadily increaSing-Who are
doing their utmost to achieve fortunes in
the Transvaal. In that state the absolute
rulers are the Beers: fourteen thousand
men in all. Then there is an Uitlander
population of one hundred and twenty
thousand people. most of them either Brit
ish by birth or descent. many of them
Americans. The Beers have set their faces
against every proposition that looked to-
ward progress: they are content with ex-
clusfvely pastoral pursuits and would, If
they possibly could, prevent further devel-
opment Of the Transvaal. The Uitlanders
contribute nine-tenths of the entire reve-
nue. and own, by actual purchase Of the
soil, more than one-half of the whole coun-
try, yet they are without representation in
the government and have undoubtedly been
hampered in many legitimate enterprises
which their intelligence and energy have
planned and In some instances carried out.
Already does the Transvaal export of gold
amount annually to about S40.0OO.ooO. and
it is reasonably estimated by conservative
men that within four or five years the gold
exports will amount to S1o0.WO,O00. or one
third Of the worlds gold output. Such
wealth will not long remain speechless and
unless the Beers speedily evolve some plan
by which the Uitlanders shall share equita-
bly, in governmental affairs there is moth
ing more probable than revolution which
may easily result in the complete elmina-
ton of the Boer as South African factor.

ford to pay. The paralleling OF steam
operated roads by this gasoline concern
would doubtless result, for awhile, in re-
duced rates Of transportation but the tri-
fling advantage thus gained would be much
more than Offset by the loss Of public high
way for which tens of thousands of people
have daily use. No sane, Impoverished per-
son would think Of permitting steam
railroad to acquire a right OF way on a
county-road; why then should the danger
Gus and unfair privilege be given to a
corporation which proposes to move it's
cars at high rates of speed by some other
motive-force than steam? The one is no
more Objectionable than the other. In view
Of the countrywide agitation against
grade-crossings it Is quite improbable that
the National road will be handed over to
this new corporation by the states tray
ersed by it; If the gasoline road Is ever
constructed 1t will surely have to acquire
the necessary land as other railroads do
by private purchase or by condemnation.
