Tn. Factor of Personality.

Personal influenced Yes, how that
survives and defies all attempts to rem
der it ineffectivel Men who disbelieve
in it aud set up socialist or communist
ideas, denying to any individual any
priority or advantage over his fellows,
see with establishment and moTtifica-
ton that the hated thing enters into
their most secret circles and sways all
their action. 1t was supposed that it
was only in the uneDlightened ages of
the world that any one man coCld have
any personal command in great affairs.
With contempt it was pronounced that
the herues Of antiquity or the great cap
tains OF bygone centuries must have
had an inferior crew TO deal with when
SO paramount position was given to
any individual. Englishmen in more
recent times thought that it was only
Frenchmen who could let ''Bony" ride
so roughshod over them, when "liber-
ty, equality and fraternity" had but
Just been inscribed over the doors of ev-
cry public building in France. Who but
unenlightened Russians would allow
car to have absolute dominion? Now
adays surely, it was argued, when in
telligence, culture and education are SO
generally diffused, none could arrogate
to himself any large share of the ad-
miration and worship of fellow country
men.
Is this SO? Do we not rather see that
men, even if raised to high level OF
knowledge of material things, are yet
as emotional as ever, as apt to follow
like sheep the lead of one, as incapable
of weighing and judging the faults of
those who by appeals to their pride,
their passion and prejudice may rise to
the head of affairs; Except in the very
rare cases where great wars or convul-
sions of the political world are in prog
ress, it is rsogt difficult to get electors
to value the "high politics" at stake at
their rrrper measure of importance

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Gossip From the National Capital b,
Our Special Correspondent.


Washington. July 15.-(SpeciaL)-
Although the secrecy maintained by
the senators and representatives on the
conference committee which is at
work on the tariff bill passed by the
Senate last week is aggravating to the
newsgatherers, it is considered abso-
lutely necessary to avoid delay in the
final disposition of the bill. If each
agreement reached by the conference
should be announced, there would be
no peace for the members of the COM
mittee, owing to the objections of those
who are interested. 1t has also been
determined, to avoid delay, that no
partial reports shall be made to the
House and Senate, everything being
held back until final agreement has
been reached.
President Mckinley has indicated
quite plainly to number of prominent
Republicans that he has about de-
cided to modify Mr.. Cleveland's or
ders for the extension of the civil ser
vice rules and the presidents order
may be expected at any time. 1t is
not yet certain how far this modifica-
ton will go, but it is the impression of
those who have talked with Major Nc
Kinley on the subject that deputy
collectors of internal revenue, who
have charge of the distribution of
stamps, and deputy collectors of GUS
toms, who are in charge of sub-stations
will be among those placed outside Of
the civil service rules.
The report that Japan will file an
ctr cf
the annexation of Hawaii excites such
very little interest in Washington that
nobody appears to care whether II
turns out to be true or pot. Hawaii
will be annexed in due time, and Sen
ator Morgan, a dyed-in- the-wool DEM
ocratic member of the committee on
foreign relations, says that If Presi-
dent Mckinley wishes the treaty to be
ratified at the present session of Con-
gress, instead of at the regular ses-
sion, next winter, he has only to say SO
and it will be done.
Secretary Alger has accepted an in
vitation to deliver an address at G.
A. r. reunion at Spirit Lake, Iowa, on
the 21st inst, and from there he will
go to Chicago to be present at the un-
yelling of the Logan statue on the 22nd
inst. President Mckinley is very anx-
ious to be present at the latter event.
and IL Congress adjourns this week, he
will go.
President and Mrs. Mckinley have
decided to spend a greater part of
their vacation on Lake Champlain,
which makes 1t certain that they will
not be able to make their contemplat-
ed visit to the Pacific coast this sum-
mer. They will not give up the idea,
however, as the president is very an
xious to see that section Of the country
and will go at the first opportunity
probably next summer.

NEW TELEPHONE LINE.
1t Will Be Run From San Antonio to
Pearsal.

The county commissioners granted
a petition to ]. NJ. Robertson this morn
ing for the erection of telephone poles
on and along a public road leading
from San Antonio to the county line,
running along the track of the Inter
national railroad to the Medina river.
In support OF the request petitioner
showed to the court that telephone
lines are a universal benefit in that
they promote material commercial. So
cial, moral and intelligent prosperity.
The road along which the poles are to
be erected is the Quintana road and
i re line is to touch the following plac-
4: Medina, Stumberg, Lyle, Devine,
D,g Foot, Moore Station and Pearsall.
Petitioner shows that there is no tele-
phone connection between San Antonio
and those points and that work is now
going on in Frio county. The line will
be chartered.
