TIE announcement of Hon. James
ination for congress in this district,
published in this issue, is source of
proud satisfaction to his many warm
friends in this county. Having led
the democratic party to victory SO Oft
Ell, he is looked upon, by many, as a
p Dlitical necessity Moses to lead
the democrats out of the wilderness
INFO which they were led in 1896. His
repeated victories have caused him to
be named the political Napoleon, and
the comparison is good, excepting the
fact that he lxas never seen a Water
loo. and his friends claim that he will
not be defeated if nominated this
time. lis official career, as model
Governor and congressman, for sever
al terms, has made for him host of
admin ers, who point with pride to his
record and claim that he is the only
man that can redeem the Eighth Dis
trict to their party. They claim that
his long public service is without just
grounds for criticism, that his views
and course, on all issues, were always
OF the side OF the people and had in
view the general welfare, and that his
able work against high protective
tariff and fatted corporations should
be considered by the party, when
nominations are in order.
How far these claims will 60 toward
securing the nomination remains to be
seen, as there are several other can
didates in the field, who claim recog-
milton at the hands OF the Democratic
party. OF course each county will be
expected to instruct for its home man,
and the candidate who can hold on
and control the votes, after others are
dropped, will win.

Tho City Has Never Halted Since 1t Was
First Fairly Started.
Ernest Ingersoll writes paper on the
Greater New York, entitled Reasoning
Out Metropolis. for st. Nicholas.
Mr.. Ingersoll says:
The people Of New York, Brooklyn,
Staten Island and certain nearby north
ern towns resolved to Join themselves
together into one city, which is now the
Greater New York. II embraces 94l
square miles Of territory and includes q
population of nearly B,400, 900.
Besides these at least another million
dwell on the New Jersey side Of the
Hudson river, quite as near and as
closely identified with the great city on
Manhattan Island as are those of the
northern and eastern suburbs This
makes population Of nearly 4, 500, 900
which may be said to belong to New
York, making it not only by far the
largest center Of human life and inter-
ests in America, but, excepting only
London, the most populous spot on the
globe.
How has it happened that this vast
city has grown up where it stands2
Why did not the American metropolis
arise somewhere else? Is Its position all
an accident, Or does history show sound
reasons for its situation? The earliest
settlement here was merely trading
station that gradually became small
seaport, like dozen others along the
coast. Before the year 100 these were
30 nearly alike that he would have been
wise prophet who truly foretold which
would thrive. Indeed many men Of that
day firmly believed that Newport and
Annapolis were to be the two great
American seaports
Great cities arise at the points where
the greatest number Of people find it
convenient to meet at first for business
and later for pleasure. You cannot force
city to grow in an unnatural or insult
able situation, and it is no easier to pre-.
vent city from growing In its proper
place. But the conditions that change
village into big town and expand the
town into CITY or metropolis are not
the same in different parts Of the globe
and vary with the march of the CEN
turtles; so that now many an ancient
world market, like Nineveh or Mem.
phis has totally disappeared, while
towns like Berlin have lately increased
