In one Of his essays Lord Macaulay
took occasion to note that nearly all the
great tyrants Of the worlds history We're
heirs of freedom and progenitors Of
tyranny.
A full and proper realization of the
significance of this great historical truth
is apt to prove somewhat disturbing to
complacent folk who now argue that be-
cause this Government has been a Re
public for a hundred years it is therefore
logically destined to remain u Republic.
The teachings Of history are exactly the
reverse Of this comfortable belief. They
warn us that eternal vigilance must in
deed be the price of liberty-that the
change from Republic to Empire. from
popular government to centralized caste
government, from President to Dictator
and Emperor, is no more impossible now
than in the past, where its almost in
variable occurrence is duly recorded.
The same conditions, the same tempta-
tons, the same opportunities, the same
ambitions that transformed into a SUI
preme despot the military commander
who protested that he would not betlay
the people exist to-day as in the days
of Caesar. The same far-fiighted dream
that led the First Consul Bonaparte to
become the Emperor Napoleon and
mount, from the blood of the French
Revolution, to a new throne builded
above old thrones overturned is in the
minds of men to-day as in the days Of
the COrsican. 1t is an easy transforma-
ton to achieve when conditions are
made ready for it. One day there was
the Consul Caesar in Rome-the next
day Caesar Imperator ruled. One day
there was the First Consul Bonaparte in
France-the e day the Emperor Ma
poleon put on the crown. And the p. o.

British apprehension caused by
French activity in army and navy cir
cles may not be rightly based upon the
belief that France intends to force a
war with England at the close of the
Paris Exposition, but 1t has good
grounds for existence even with that
hypothesis removed.
What is more likely is that the French
Government has an understanding with
Russia which makes certain its knowl-
edge of the imminence Of a more or less
general European war, the inevitable
alignment Of which would find France
and Russia opposed to England. Under
such circumstances the activity about
French Notifications, the increase OF
French fleets at such points as Calais,
Brest and other channel ports, the ar
rangements for the autumn maneuvers
Of the army within close touch of the
coast towns would be the most natural
thing in the world.
1t is to be noted that, at a time when
these significant steps are being taken
by France, there is q similar d spositiOn
on the part of Russia to present a
menacing and irritating front to Eng
land. On the frontiers Of India there
Is now a constant and daily increasing
danger of q clash between the troops Of
Russia and Great Britain. In Chinn the
Cars Government takes no pains to
conceal its determination to profit at
England's expense. The situation is so
tense that war may become inevitable
at any moment. 1t is a question if even
English %fOrbearance can prevent it, and
there is no reason to believe that Eng
lish forbearance will go the length of
declining a definite challenge to battle.
1t is %unhappily true that England's
unholy war of conquest and extermina-
ton upon the two little South African
Republics has created this peril for the
English nation. That war revealed a
weakness in the British militant arm
which could not but tempt Ensland's
enemies into exceptional aggressiveness.

EASY TO

1t is less a desire to supply the city
with a new hospital than an intent 10
dodge responsibility for delay that leads
Republicans to attack opprobriously the
members of the Board of Public I'M
provements.
Responsibility for the delay of three
months in commencing the construction
of the Hospital rests OF Mayor Ziegen-
helm and the Municipal Assembly and
not on the Board Of Public Improve
ments. The first connection which the
board had with the Hospital was when
Councilman Carroll introduced his reso-
luton asking the board to frame a hos
pltal ordinance. This ordinance the
board sent to the Council at the next
session of that body. Had Mayor
Ziegenhein sent the report of the Hos
pital Commission to the Municipal AS
sembly or to the Board of Public Inn
provements two years ago the plans
might have been ready or reasonable
ground for blaming the Board of Public
Improvements might be at hand.
There has been no unreasonable de-
lay in the construction Of the new City
Hospital since the Board of Public I'M
provements became connected with that
work and the Globe-D Democrats epithets
-'snags,' official petrifactions," etc
might much better be applied to the
barnacles who draw pay under the all
for-salaries appropriation bill without
doing work for the city. On this sub
ject, however, the be-Democrat has
preserved a discreet silence.

PROVES ONE POINT.

From the figures submitted by Chief
Sanitary Officer Charles w. Francis 10
the Board of Health, regarding the col
lection of garbage, the plain CONCLUSION
follows that the receptacle law and the
specifications in the garbage collection
contract should be changed at the first
possible opportunity.
"Seventy-two per ent of the house
holders in ST. LOUIS says Mr.. Francis,
have illegal receptacles, 41-o per cent
have legal r%eceptacles and 5 per cent
have legal receptacles Illegally placed"
AS a class the citizens Of St Louis are
law-abiding. They try to obey the ordi-
nances. They shovel the snow from
their sidewalks, keep their back yards
tidy, cut the weeds from their lots and
otherwise without special warning obey
the ordinances. The fact as shown by
the statistics that less than five Out of
100 st. Louisans obey the garbage re-
ceptacle law proves past argument that
something ails the law.
The garbage receptacle law needs
changing and should be changed ;as
soon as possible. ST. Louis pays the
garbage collector to gather the garbage.
1t does not want to have him assume
an attitude of comforting a charity
when he collects the garbage. st.
Louisans do not want to engage archi-
tects and engineers to put up garbage
receptacles that shall comply with the
laws, nor do they want to spend large
sums Of money in providing and replac-
ing legal garbage receptacles.

Special Correspondence Of The Sunday Republic.
Jefferson City, Aug. Ex-senator r. M.
Cockrell. on his way home to Warrensburg
from Washington. stopped off and visited
for two days here with his brother-in-law,
Major T. O.. Towles. The Senator has a
wide acquaintance in Jefferson City and
usually visits the capital twice a year.
This time he made the rounds Of all the
State officers and told all his friends how
things were going at Washington. He al
ways has time to talk will the units of his
constituency about the trend of affairs at
the national capital and about the general
ity Of things political. He also always
takes a hand in each campaign in Missouri
and consequently knows by name the wool
hat boys from the forks Of the creek ana
has more than a handshaking acquaintance
with the ''one-gallused fellers." There Is
no affectation in the good-fellowship which
he assumes toward these men, all or whom
would make him President If they could.
If there is one thing more than another
that Senator Cockrell believes in it is De-
mocracy. OF all the public men of Missouri
his personal acquaintance is accordingly
the largest and his friendships the most
genuine. Many of those all over Missouri
who shake his hand so warmly were MEM
bers Of his brigade during the Civil War
and worship their old commander. His war
record is not uninteresting.
Stonewall Jackson Is said to have been
the one Puritan soldier of the Civil War.
He had his prototype here in the West in
the person OF Senator Cockrell. While
jackson was a Sunday school su-
perintendent in Lexington, Va, Cock
rell performed the same function in War
rensburg, Mo. Before and after each battle
he prayed as ferventiy as the gallant Vir-
gilman, and during the fray fought as val
iantly. He entered the army a private in
1861. He came out a Major General after
Appomattox. 1t was the Senator's right

PLAN.

When Americans examine the system
of government which Alexander Hamil-
ton tried to incorporate in the organic
law of the United States they will see
more plainly the significance of Sena-
tor Vests declaration that the United
States Government at present has a
tendency toward the ideas of Alexander
Hamilton.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge in his
Life Of Hamilton says: The Re-
public Of Hamilton was to.be an Arts
tocratic as distinguished from a Demo-
cratic Republic and the power of the
separate States was to be effectually
crippled. The first object was to be at
tanned by committing the choice Of the
President and Senators, who were 10
hold office during good behavior, to a
class Of the community qualified to vote
by the possession of a certain amount
Of real property. The second was to be
secured by giving to the President Of
the United States the appointment of
the Governors Of the various States,
who were to have a veto on all State
legislation. These provisions, as may be
seen at 4 glance. involved the essential
character of the government, and al
though purely republican came much
nearer to the British model than any
other by their recognition Of classes and
of the political rights of property, while,
by the treatment Of the States, a highly
centralized national government was to
supersede entirely the confederate
FORM"
This picture of the government which
Alexander Hamilton would have sup
piled to the United States is not a
pleasant one for Americans. There is
no doubt that every important action Of
the Mckinley administration has been
toward a centralized government such
as was devised by Alexander Hamilton
and opposed by Thomas Jefferson. The
American people favor a complete
abandonment Of a policy which tends in
so undesirable a direction. Such an
abandonment can only be secured by the
defeat of Mckinley in November.

TRUE IMPERIALISM.

Senator Hanna is radically and dam
gerously wrong in his belief that the
time is at hand when 1t is an American
duty to do all one can to 'p]erpetuate'
the Mckinley administration.
Even if Mr.. Mckinley had devoted
himself to serving the American people
instead of the American trusts, it wou d
not be the duty Of Americans to per
petuate" his administration. The "per-
%petuation" Of administrations is not adj
visable in a free and self governing Re-
public.
1t is essentially logical, however, that
Hanna and the imperialist party should
believe heart and soul in the advisable
ty of ''perpetuating'' Mr.. Mckinley ad-
ministratiOn. Empire and the un-
changed rule of the man who stands for
Empire dovetail together as neatly and
surely as two and two make four. The
one is blood of the others blood and
bone Of it's bone.
The grasping and greedy monopolists
who have forced his Government into
the paths of Empire and who are reso-
lutte that it shall remain in those paths
unquestionably believe that Mr.. McKin-
ley'S administration should be per
petuated." With another four years of
intensified Empire they are equal to de-
handing that it be again "perpetuated."
And SO great is their contempt for the
common people that they might not
then be willing to recognize the validity
Of the peoples demand for d change Of
administration. The ''perpetuating' of
administrations is peculiarly dangerous
at the present time. 1t might become
an imperial habit.
