RFPUBLTCS AND REPUBLICS.

There are republics and republics. That Is
the gst Of the matter presented in the luminous
and suggestive letter from Mr.. Frederick W.
Seward which we published on this page on
Friday. 1t is matter worthy Of consideration.
II is not only worthy, but 1t demands considera-
ton in a particularly urgent and necesstous
manner. Men-American men as well as all
others-are prone to be led by phrases and TO be
moved by specious words. Give dog n bad
name and hang him" is an ancient saying Of
truest intimation Equally true Is 1t that men
sometimes call man saint and worship him
with no more assurance Of his worth than they
had of the dogs wickedness In the infancy of
this Republic it was perhaps permissible for its
citizens to regard as a friend every other State
which was called republic and as a foe every
one that retained the name of monarchy. At
this time we ought to be able TO exercise a GER
| tain discrimination in such matters And II we
do, we may find that 1t is possible for a land TO
! be under a monarchlcal form Of government
and yet not be altogether effete, corrupt and en-
| slaved and that a land may be called repub-
! lie without being In every respect earthly
paradise. AS between the general principles Of
| republicansm and monarchy our sympathics
must unhesitatingly and most powerfully 90 out
! TO the former. But sympathes should not para
I'VE senses. The utmost devotion to true re-
pubcanism is not incompatible with detesta-
tiOn Of spurious republicanism. Indeed, 1t
should conduce thereto for the vindlcation Of
the true from the reproach brought upon 1t by
the false
Mr.. Seward cited the cases Of the first French
republic OF revolutionary times and Of some
OF the South American republics" as examples
of republics unworthy Of the name. His cta.
tlon was just, and he might have added other
examples. Beyond doubt, In some cases there
was not even the intention or the desire 10 .ound
true republic; nothing but vllany masquerad-
ing under n stolen title Such was the fact con-
corning Robespierre and Marat. Such we may
well believe TO be the fact concerning Agu-
naldo, who has indeed emulated his Partisan
prototypes by endeavoring TO cut off the heads
Of all who differ. from his political creed But
there are other and more numerous cases In
which intention is right but ability fails The
Spanish republic Of twenty-five years ago was
a case In point. The republicanism and the in
tegrity of CASTELAR, and ri Marga and their
comrades are not to be questioned But they
had not themselves the ability and the nation
did not give them the support necessary 10 carry
their theories TO success The South American
republics have presented many spectacIes Of
noble patriotism and of devotion 70 trus rspub.

The Constitution Is now, ms we understand,

cared for there we do not know, but 1t Is remem-
bered that when her attendance at the Dewey

iustifable risk TO attempt to bring her to New

porous. the labor union managers are abroad in
the Southwest seeking to distribute discomfort
among the coal miners and prepare the way

to derange all this and convince them that I'm

II is pity that the workingman Is ofttimes

his birthplace and the record of his achieve

more like a fairy tale than the sober nara tive

lad was working in n country store, and three
years later he had the reputation OF knowing
pretty well all that there was to know about the

This farmers son had a store Of his own at
the age Of nineteen. and 1t wasn't long until he
drfted into the business Of building railroads.
He laid out eighty towns in the West. and was
connected in one way or another with more than
a score of railroad companies, besides being Mt
the head Of big banking institution. To
churches and charities and colleges he gave
away In his lifetime known sums aggregating
over $1,000,000. Once only did he present him
self for the suffrages Of his fellow citizens and
that was thirty-one years ago. when he was the
unsuccessful candidate for the Governorship Of
New-Jersey. He was keen Republican, though,

base ball game Wednesday afternoon.
He said that he told Mrs. Smith that
he was coming down to pay little
bill of $3.50 that he owed to Mr..
Schorb, the photographer, and he did
not like to send the money by mail.
Messrs. R. L. Williams, NJ. L. Thorn
asson, c. P. Lowrance, Meek Williams,
Rev. J. C. Johnes and other gentlemen
left Thursday afternoon for Catawba
river on fishing expedition. They
expected to return yesterday morning.
Before he left Mr.. Williams said he was
bound to have some fish even if he
should have to catch them with SSH
yer hook" There are some traps on
the river, at the point where the party
expected to sein.
The result of the recent examina-
tions at the South Carolina college has
been published. Among the York
county boys especially mentioned, are
Mr.. R. Latta Parish, of Yorkville
(Junior CLASSY, proficient in mental
science and chemistry ]. E. Ardrey,
Fort Mill Freshman class), distinguish
ed in English, prof cient in history
and Latin; J. H. Witherspoon, YORK
will Uaw class), highly distinguished in
Junior and constitutional law and po-
litical economy.
Rev. J. C. Johnes umpired six in
nings of the baseball game between
Kings Mountain and Yorkville last
Wednesday afternoon. After the sixth
inning, he had to leave the grounds to
attend his clerical duties. Mr.. Johnes
is thoroughly up on baseball. He
proved the fact conclusively, and also
it developed that he could not be
bluffed by kickers. After it was all
over he jokingly consoled the defeat
ed Yorkville boys with the observa-
ton that had he been able to remain
throughout the game perhaps the re-
suit might have been different.

Two LIVES For A SHEEP.-Mat-
thew Pratt and Joseph Raines, farmers
living four miles west of Pulaski, Va,
became involved in a quarrel Monday
over sheep. One word brought on
another until finally both men drew
revolvers and commenced firing.
Pratt was instantly killed and Raines
died of his wounds next morning.
The men had been on bad terms for
sometime. Reports are conflicting as
to the first cause of the trouble.
Pratt's father was tried at Pulaski two
years ago for horse stealing, and this
probably led to the dispute on Sunday,
as all parties were interested in the
trial.
