bis Reign Most Successful Piece
of Statecraft

Oh StatetFa1t.
The long, wise rel gn of the Emperor u
kustus is perhaps the most successful
piece of quiet statccraft the world has
ever seen. The new order gives the still
vexed Roman world such peace, such uni
ty, such material prosperity. as 1t had
never seen before. The capital was not
merely rebuilt; it was tranSfigured Brick

dreds of deSecrated shrines rose taller and
lovelier from their ashes. Even the faith
OF an earlier, nobler day for a moment
eeemed 10 raisc its languid head, while
scholastic Virgil and EpicureaR Horace
sang. Intellectual genius, no matter how
humble its origin, was sought out and
cherished.
For such wisely selfish generosity IN
'Eneid'' was, indeed, Il princely recon-
pense; hut how many autocrats have real
:zed this, and courted their poet with the
fit humility of an ephemeral superior?
Though practically despot oyerthe han gh-
test OF races, he does not, like Tarqun
and Julius, meet tyrant's fate. After a
reign almost az long and unshaken as Vic
toria' s, he dies peacefully in his bed, while
his scepter passes without question to the
unlovcd heir of his choice. How SpOtlcss,
We think, must have been the whole life
OF this philosophic prince, so to enshrine
him i'll the heart Of a lordly nationi Where
is there greater contrast between all tn at

age and that merciiess, ,treacherous, and re-
pulsive of boy conspirators? Once again

miny. The other day people on jefferson

istraton. He adds. hopefully tnat he thinks
the number may ultimately reach 12,oOO.
The connection betw cen this statement and
the prosperity of Washington business men
may not be very clear. but at any rate, it
starts n curious train Of speculation.
Suppose we multiply these 5000 Ohio
candidates by half the number of States in
the Union, thereby getting fair average
of the total of office seekers at 1 so 600.
1t is fair to assume that at least one half
of these, or 80 900 will personally come to
the Capital city, or send representative
here, on missions connected with their pros
pective political tenures. When March A
and its spasmodic increase OF local 3usi-
ness is over We will therefore have with
us steady army of incomers who must
buy food, shelter nd raiment, just as other
folks do.
Ninety thousand visitors means 246 for
each of the 365 days in the year, beginning
March A, 1897. Every man of them Will,
or should be persuaded to, spend at least
So from sunrise to sunset, and many can bc
depended upon To spend much more than
that from sunset To sunrise. Hcreis ut least
ST 900 day, provided that one day is the
limit of stay, the effect OF which all OF US
