MR.. SEBREE RETURNED.

Mr.. Howard Sebree returned from
the east the first of the week. He
made considerable investigation re-
specting the wooden mill machinery,
purchase of which had been contem-
plated, and is of the opinion that it
will not do. Mr.. Sebree regards it as
fortunate that the deal was not
closed last fall before the investiga-
ton had been made. At an early day
there will be meeting of the subscrib.
ers to the enterprise at which time
steps will be taken to finally dispose
OF the matter. While east Mr. Sc &.
bree made some inquiries touching the
Midland railroad outlook, and he is
very much of the opinion that the
road will be built and work pushed as
rapidly as possible. Mr.. Sebree is look
ing well after his trip, owing perhaps
to the prosperous acquaintance he
made at the National Republican Con-
vention.

course, but 1t has seemed to be the oeS'
the Democrats had to give. Inc sln,
certify of an opposition party Is 'eS'Iu
BY its acts when in power. THIS RUS
applies we'll in this case.
The most commanding cause "
which the Democratic party mas con,
mitted itself since the extinction u
slavery is that of low tariff or no tariH'
To the tune of that war cry Mr.. CieVe-
land rode into power, and then stroVe
with all his might and main to MAKE
his theory into law. But many or MS
party leaders had merely used the cry
of tariff reform" as they would nave
used any other, to carry the country
and they baked at absolute free trace
The Wilson act was injurious enough
to domestic industry, but it fell so TAR
short of Mr.. Cleveland's radical ideal
as to cali forth bis bitter denunciatioh
and his refusal to sign the bill. the
party had not the reckless courage to
put its destructive professions INTO
practice.
How about the antitrust cry and the
anti-imperialist cry? They are merely
weapons snatched up on the field OF
battle for temporary use. They are not
the result Of the deep ponderlngs OF
sincere statesmen and the slow-groWing
convictions of the masses of men. The
policies of great nation should moi
be, and are not, the sudden fruit OF
| Eighty brains. They are almost always
of slow growth, the result of settling
and solidifying processes in the com
mon thought.
The Democrats have hastily seizeC
upon the cries of antitrust and anti
Imperialism. and in so doing they arr
trying to convince the country tina
they are opposing Republican policies
That is altogether an artificial and falls
position, and therefore the Democratic
plea is weaker than in previous cam
paigns. That that party. if entrusted
with power, would accomplish any wis
end In the direction of its war erie
there is no reason for believing, ant
therefore there is no reason for en-
trusting it with power.-Americal

Governor RoOseveIt's Future.

Governor Roosevelt, be it said, has
made no sacrifice of principle. Through
all his public life he has shown him =
self willing to do hard work steadfastly
In positions where no one could accuse
him OF seeking anything else excepa
the service of his country through his
party, It is exactly in that spirit that
ne yielded his own preferences at Phil
adelphia to what finally came to him
as unanimous party demand. We do
not believe the sacrifice ought to have
been demanded; but doing what he be.
lieves to be his duty has become a fixed
habit with Theodore Roosevelt. His
friends will not for moment attribute
to him any reason for changing his de.
cision at Philadelphia other than his
belief that it was his duty. The partv
to which he now shows such loyalty
will have a strong sense of allegiance
TO him In return. He will be forty-six
years old on October 81, 1904. If one
mustfindulge in predictions, it is far
safer to prophesV that he has thirty
i've or forty years of active and yalu.
able public life yet before him than to
assume that the Vice Presidency would
necessarily end his political career.
Four years of constant observation and
study Of national affairs from the safe
Vantage-point of the chair of the nre-
siding officer of the Senate, added TO
Governor RooseYelt's existing oualif-
cations as an executive officer, wonld
make him unquestionably the best
equipped man for the real work of tho
Presidency that the Republican party
could bring forward four years heuce

! anecdotes and stories are still current there
and among them is the following, which
was told by a descendant OF one of the
parties referred to in the story: An old settler
of the place, a Mr.. A, kept general supply
store. among other things sold liquor, al
| ways for medicinal" purposes, there being
local ordinance against selling it as d
beverage. One of Mr.. AS neighbors, a
Mr.. X, pious but somewhat meddlesome
man, had Mr.. A. arrested on the charge OF
selling ardent spirits in defiance of the
statute referred to. Mr. Lincoln was re-
tained as the counsel for the defendant, and
on learning the character of the com
plainant he concluded that he could make
things decidedly warm for that gentleman.
Accordingly, on the day of the trial, among
many other witnesses the worthy Mr.. Y.
and his hired man Ga German) We're sum-
nloned. Mr.. X. was closely questioned as
to whether he was a patron OF Mr.. AS,
and whether he himself had ever purchased
liquor from him. He admitted that
he had, at one time, sent for very little
by his hired man, Hans, but it was only for
medicine" On getting this admission from
his witness, MIR. Lincoln dismissed him,
u
Hans" said Mr.. Lincoln, lis it true that
you have bought liquor from Mr. A for
your employer" 80, yaw!" was the hearty
response. We'll, Hans, will you please
