THE REPUBLIC is SAFE.

The friends and supporters OF Sena
tor Pettigrew met in Sioux City, Soutl
Dakota, vest erday, to organize al
american League the purpose o
which is proclaimed to be the 'ssus
tanning of republican Institution!
against the existing tendency toward
imperialism. militsrism and the contro
of all industrial institutions and ever
the government itself by organized, ag
gregsted capital" and for the "preser-
walton of the principles of the declara.
ton of independence and the perpetual
tion of American institutions" The
promoters of the league announce their
intention of following up the movement
initiated by organizing branch clubs
throughout the state, which clubs, it is
expected, will use their efforts to fur
ther the candidacy of Senator Petit
grew to succeed himself next year in
the United States senate.
This is the old, old cry-the cry of
our grandfathers' days. The know
nothings were sure that only the pre-
valence OF their idea would preserve
our free institutions; and the fanatical
anti-Masons were equally positive
that our national salvation depended
on them: now Senator Pettigrew takes
up the cry and so it will be to the end
of the chapter.
The present course of the republic is
In the: direction pointed out by Cen
eral Grant in his second inaugural sd-
dress, when appealing for the an
nexation of SsnlDomingo. He struck
the keynote, not only of the feasibility
of our expansion of territory, but of the
divinely contemplated expansion of the
republic. He said

OF their extension of territory. Com
MERGE, education and the rapid transit
of thought and matter by telegraph
and steam have changed ali this. Rath-
er do [ believe that our Great Maker
is preparing the world, in his good
time, to become one nation, speaking
one language, and when armies and
natives will be no longer required.
Americans can greet the new year
with hopefulness. There is no occasion
for pessimism. It is time to remem Der
that
New occasions teach new duties, Time makes
ancient good uncouth;

would keep abreast of Truth.
Senator Pettigrew and his friends
should study thephilosophy found In the

and defenders of our free

OUR postal system has been for over
decade both the wonder and admirs-
ton of the world. Yet in the matter
of rural free delivery this country is
far behind many of the nations of the
Old World-notably England. 1t is
not commonly known that q penny
stamp will insure the free delivery by
a government carrier of a letter In any
part. however remote. of the British
Isles. Yet such is the case. For some
years past our postoffice department
has been experimenting with rural
free delivery service. At first these
experiments met with little practical
success and with much encouragement.
But within the pact twelve months, re-
suits of go remarkably satisfying q
nature as to sstonish even the best
friends and well-wishers of general

tanned, and there is every prospect that

JUNKETING PARTIES

Every time junketing expedition
the press are loaded with hot shot,
then aimed at the junketsrs and
fired like sunrise gun every mOrnipg
with an echo from the afternoon press
in the evening. The congressional
statehood committee, accompanied by
Mexico, and now within days ride OF
Ell Paso, is not being spared.
1t seems to occur to only an occasion
al observer that junketing expedition
broadens the horizon or statesmen.
They discover that the union is larger
than they thought, that the conditions
prevailing in their own section of the
country differ materially from those
prevailing elsewhere. 1t lis admitted
that New England has given more
able men to the national service than
any other section. but their influence
has been impaired by q lack O.:
breadth of view. Ever the great Dan
MEL Webster illustrated this failing
when in a spe ech in the senate he de-
clared he would never vote to bring
the territory acquired from Mexico
nearer to Boston than nature had placed
it. He did not want to bridge rivers,
tunnel mountains or In other ways
make the journey from the
Pacific Coast to Boston short
er than It than was.
Webster lived to see his error, but he
did not survive the impression 1t had
created. Bringing the Pacific Coast
nearer to Boston was probably slip of
the tongue, but it indicated the thought
in the mind of the intellectual Her
cules. If Webster had been inveigled
into junketing expeditions south aud
west he might have acquired the abroad
err vision that would have made him q
presiden tial possibility.
The HERALD Is sorry that the state
hood junketing party is not coming to
Ell Paso. 1t misses sight of the most
city in the southwest.

The first annual meeting of the North

composed of undertakes and embalmers
in many cities of Montana and Idaho,
will be held at M.ssoula, commencing
Monday, August 81. The idea of the as

Gently reached by the Engagements as
ISOLATION, representing the principal rail-
roads of the country, governing the SHIP
ment of dead bodies from one state to
another. The railroads are scrutlnizlng
the certificates of undertakers shipping
bodies out of the state. and in some in
stances have declined to take bodies eX-
cept from regularly licensed undertakers.
In some states the law requires that the
undertaken be examined by a state board
and licensed.
The proposed meeting of the North
western Funeral Directors association
will consider many matters of import
ance to the profession. and will also de-
vote special attention to the question of
embalming, a sort of embalming school
being among the possibilities. Members
will be required to pass before the state
examiners in order to be able to ship a
body through states that have passed
laws requiring undertakers to pass GER
tain examinations before they are grant
ed license to practice the profession of
embalners for the shipment of bodies.

AFRAID OF HIS MOTHER.

Among the passengers on the belated
Great Northern train which reached An
aconda this morning was a boy about S
years of age, who was put on the train
at Helena in charge of Conductor F. F..
Richardson. The boy was returning
from school at the orphan asylum at
Helena. He gave his name as Master
Dometrovich. On arriving in Anaconda
he was taken to the Montana hotel and
later turned over to Officer Sullivan to
locate his friends, who reside on Chestnut
street. The boys father is in Arizona.
His mother was presumed to be in Aus
tria on a visit. and this accounted for
the boy being placed at school in Helena.
The youngster has friends at East Hell
ena whom he has often visited, and he
was telling the officer on the way down
town that the conductor should nave put
HIM off there instead of Anaconda. Ar
irving at a certain house on Chestnut
street. at Nos. AIS and AIS inquiry was
made for a family named Dometrovich.
All at once a woman rushed out of the
house and seized the boy and began
showering him with kisses. The lad
