burden on her back such as no other peo-
pie IN the world bears to-day-the problem
of carrying within her body polite t"o

The Commercial pays a fitting tribute
70 the memo-y OF the late Henry W.
Grady, who told the Southern people
years ago that whenever ''the greed Tor

And the Commercial justly remarks;

In the rea3justment that was bound,
sooner or later. TO follow the abolition Of
slavery, the South must inevitably be a
greater gamer than the North. The farms
and factories Of the North are, by de-
grees. parting with a good customer and
are sharing their export trade with great
and rich section that, in the old time,
was content to live on the profits OF a
single crop The Industrial effects OF

political results. The influence Of the

solution of problems growing out of the

Senator Vest, of Missouri.
From the Boston Herald.

Ff0E tne boston teFaiu
1t is gratifying 10 learn that the health
OF Senator Vest, OF Missouri is substan-
TALLY improved, and that he is in a bet
ter condition in this respect than either
himself or his friends had anticipated
would again be the case. He had declined
a reelection 10 the Senate from despair
Of being restored TO fit condition to
continue In the office. but this later intel
iigeace would seem 10 put a new face
upon affairs. Mr.. Vest is not so old as are
many Of his colleagues. and there may
be usefulness for him yet in public life, IL
present hopes are realized. He is one of
the ablest members of the Senate, and il
the time had come when his eulogles were
TO be pronounced In that body, there
would have been abundant testimony 10
that effect from his colleagues He has
had no superior there in debate, and his
rlany years Of service had much strength

singularly fortunate in her Senator'S They
have both OF them been erratic upon the
currency, but they have fairly represent
ed the opinion of their State in this re-
spect. and aside from il they stand re-
markably well. Senator Hawley, speaking
for the Republicans not long ago, paid
highly complimentary tribute to Senator
Cockrell's scrupulous industry and fdel-
ity In the general field OF legislation.

preposterous pesslmism.

The New York Press discourses on the
exit of the State Department" 1t as
serts that in twenty years time no treaty
of conclusive importance has been ratified
save that which was negotiated by the
Senate itself through the chairman, Sena-
tor Davis. and vice chairman. Senator
Frye, of the Foreign Relations Committee,
referring. of course. to the treaty of peace
with Spain. After a review of the action
OF the Senate on various conventions, the
Press declares that the most important
department Of the executive. with tradi-
tions of incumbency which, with few ex-
ceptions, pale the line of Presidents. is on
the verge of practical extinction. And our
contemporary reaches the melancholy con-
cluslon that unless prevailing tendencies
are reversed, we shall know not only no
Hays and no Olneys In the State De-
partment OF the future. but no Adamses.
no Clays, no Websters no Marcys, no
Stewards, no Fishes, no Blaines.
The country is bound 10 assume that,
in voting on treaties, every Senator uses
his best Judgment. The Constitution en-
ables number of Senators. equal TO one
more than a third OF the total of those
voting or paired. to defeat treaty. We
think the wisdom of that provision has
been vindicated by experience. The rel
ative position of the United States IN the
family of nations is proof conclusive that
no great laundering has marred our for
eign relations. But in the case of the
pending treaty, the Senate's action on
which inspired the comments of the Press,
il is not one-third-it is more than two
thirds-of the Senators who condemn, and
they have the country with them. Their
refusal TO do that which their Judgment
condemns viii not extinguish or degrade
the Department of State.

Party Differences.

The Louisville Courier-Journal takes note
of the fact that there are differences
among Republicans" in high positions
dent and his party in Congress are far
from agreed as TO a number of questions
besides the Hay -Pauncefote treaty. And
In addition to disagreements between the
President and many of his political breth-
rem in the Capitol, the COurier-Journal
mentions the fact that serious differences
OF opinion are known TO exist among those
brethren But, Notwithstanding all those
indicat tons OF a lack of harmony. the
Courier-Journal does not think the Repab-
l.can party is on the eve OF dissolution or
disruption. Although 'in some instances
differences OF this sort have important
consequences" our Louisville contempo-
rary is not anticipating anything of a
very grave character in this case. To the
President the Courier-Journal pays the
compliment OF saying that he is by no
means an obstinate man." that he takes
what he can get when he finds that he
cannot get Just what he wants. That is
one OF the Indispensable requisites of
practical craftsmanship. President Nc
Kinley has always gracefully recognized
not only the independence of the legisis
tive and executive departments. but the
Independence OF the Senate In It's execl-
tive capacity. Neither in legislation nor
in differences arising as TO treaties or ap-
pointments has the present incumbent OF
the Presidential office ever undertaken TO
use patronage or any other improper iE-
iiuence in order TO override objections.
The Courier-Journai remarks that the
President "csn negotiate treaty, but he
cannot ratify IL. For this he must depend
upon the Senate. and If that body is OBJ
stlnate there is nothing for the President
TO DO but 10 submit"
obstinate" is not the happiest way OF
putting IT, That word implies unreasona-
bleness. IL is more suggestive OF the mule
than the statesman. The most amiable of
men often fail 10 agree upon the merits of
questions. But they can 'agree TO dIs-
agree" and 10 get on pleasantly. In this
case the President is. OF course, bound 10
submit" but such compulsion carries no
anront or humiliation. II is simply an
incident rendered Inevitable by nature and
the Constitution OF the United States: by
nature in so creating men that they do
not all see alike; by the Constitution in
making the consent Of the Senate essential
to the validity OF a treaty.
AS TO differences between the Repub-
! ncans IN the Capitol, ana especially be-
tween members Of the Senate and House,
the courier-Journal holds out no hope Ia

The Industrial South.

States OF the North in population. 1t notes
that originally Texas was a purely pastoral
