A Wall Street predic!!!ees:.

History is repeating itself. We
had just such an experience twenty
years ago, after our recovery from the
Jay Cooke panic, which led to the
close of the Stoak Exchange for u
period Of over week. At that time
speculation was 80 wild that the price
of Stoek Exchange seats was advanced
to abnormal figures, daily transactions
surpassed the record, combinations Of
railroads and the laying out of new
lines were constantly announced, scrip
dividends aud bonuses were declared,
and there seemed 70 be no end Of the
prosperity of this great and growing
country. Then came the assassina-
tion of Garfield aud almost ten years
Of dull times, with stocks dropping
again to very low level. We shall
pass through this experience again.
Railroad wars, signs of which are visi.
bic in various sectinne, vii! certainly
break out when business becomes de-
pressed, and the railroads must strug-
gle to get their share of the traffic in
competition with each other. There
will be seasons when our crops will
partly fail and our export business
will diminish, when money will be-
come less plentiful and when labor
will be dissatisfied and business be full
of unrest.
But this is not all. Many of our
great railroad lines have already large
iy added to their capital stock and
bonded indebtedness, and have sold
their new securities to the public.
Others are preparing to be reckoned
up at the close of this year, the amount
of new investments thus offered to
the public will foot up to amazing
figures. The st. Louis and San Fran
Disco, the Pennsylvania. the Northern
Pacific, Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific
and other great systems are all offer
ing, or are about to offer, stocks and
bonds for public sale, in such enor.

Calhoun's Sweetheart.

To the Editor of the News aud
Courier:
We are all familiar with the fame Of
John G. Calhoun as great statesman
bow he figured as member Of the
mighty Senatorial trio, but who Of us
eye: ...:cks &c biz: ss :hc sweetheart
of au attractive twelve-year-old girl,
and that, too, when he was maa Of
more than one and twenty; yet such
was the interesting fact.
In the Ladies' Home Journal for
last month Mr.. George Wolsey
Sym0njs Tells tne story Of Calhoun 8
love, and it will not be amiss for US to
give some account of it in this-the
month of romance and sentiment. We
trust the account may interest your
younger readers Of both sexes who are
entering their teens or dreaming of ro-
nance.
At the time that Mr.. Calhoun was
20, and the same fall that he gradual
ed at Yale, he visited his widowed
cousin-in-law, Mrs. John e. Calhoun,
who was then living at Newport With
her children. It was during this fall
that he fell in love with his little
cousin, Floride, who was then girl
Of IL years. She must have been a
very attractive child. MIR. Symonds
informs us that she was described as
Every fascinating and vivaoious miss.
We can imagine how the tall, grave
young iaaa must been impressed by
the little maiden, who was his oppo-
site in age, appearance and DISPOSE
tion.
In writing TO Floride's mother dur.
ing the summer Of the following year
(I80E he sent his love to her children
and underscored Floride's name. Cal.
houn saw his sweetheart from time to
time and, while we don't know the
date on which he asked her to marry
him, we know that the marriage took
place in 1911.
Although he corresponded with Mrs.
Calhoun, yet he does not appear to
have written but one letter to her
daughter-that was written in the fall
Of 1910, at time when his attention
was engrossed by his race for Congress.
Calhoun wss then % years old. This
letter to Miss Floride is an ideal "love
letter" and is signed s'your true low
er." One expression in it breathes Of.
such an earnest spirit Of love and such
lofty sentiment that this article can
not be better closed th N by giving it
here. Mr.. Calhoun says:
''My dearest one, may our love
strengthen with each returning day,
may it ripen and mellow with our
years and may it end in immortal
joys"

WHAT TAMMANY REALLY FEARS.

II a general commanding an army were to be-
come engrOsSed In his own plans as TO forget
TO watch the enemy. he would be called. after
the disaster which would certainly follow. a
very poor general even though he spent the
rest of his natural life writing magazine articles
TO prove how excellent his plans were. Some
times. it is true 1t may he best to disregard the
ineffective opposition of the enemy in the
lentless pursuit of a carefully mapped out cam
paign. but more often a good general watches
for his opportunity, and finds it in some dis
covered weakness of his opponent; sometimes
he is able TO learn what his enemy fears most
that he will do. and, doing that, to strike de-
structive perhaps a final, blow.
The lines are in process Of fOIming for a great
political battle in this city. and at this time it
on the other side are not new or inexperienced,
and they know their weakness as we'll as their
strength. Their fears, II understood. will dis
cover their weakness. Tammany leaders, eX
cept the most timid. do not fear mere public ex-
posure. expressions of public indignation. public
contempt, public denunciation. They regard
all these "clamOr," 70 which good Tam
many man ever pays any attention. They do
not fear the loss of the respect Of good citizens;
they do not care for the respect Of good citizens.
They do not very much fear indictments and
convictions, though there may be a change of
sentiment in this particular before District At
torney Philbin and those who are cooperating
with him have finished their work
The one thing that Tammany really fears Is
political defeat and there are no illusions
among Tammany men as 10 the manner In
which this defeat might be brought about.
Here is the opportunity for our good political
generals TO take leaf out of the book OF the
enemy. The various factors in the anti-Tam-
many alliance may spend anxious days in dis
cussing the names Of various candidates. AMI
this is well. for the choice is of the greatest
moment to the cause and to the city. hut the
anxiety Of the Tammany man. thoughtful for
his lob and for his graft" Is 10 know
whether or not there will be union among all the
anti-Tammany forces. This he fears; this Is
the subject of his daily question. He watches
the newspapers for evidences that II will not
be so, and his eye brightens when lie thinks he
discovers signs OF misunderstanding and of
cross purposes He has cynical belief that
"refOrmers" certain to quarrel among
themselves. and he waits eagerly for the
quarrelllng TO begin. If he has n chance he will
help IL along. He Is only frightened when he
thinks Of an actual union of all the forces which
are against him. Phen he quails.

"ADVANCE, NATALr

There is most interesting suggestion In the
election speech made on Wednesday last at
Pietermaritzburg by the Prime Minister Of
Natal, heavily fraught with importance for the
future Of South Africa. The Natal Government,
he declares was advocating a considerable ex-
pansion OF territory by the addition of large
areas OF the TransVaal and Orange River colo
MES Such additions 10 Natal would, of course
have TO be sanctioned by the imperial govern
ment. or at any rate by its Lieutenant in South
Africa, and there has as yet been no hint that
such sanction will be granted. Yet ii is scarcely
TO be supposed that responsible an officer as
the Prime Minister OF Natal would publicly
announce such a policy unless he had some
ground for anticipating its fulfilment At any
rate, its utterance serves 10 call attention TO
the significant potentiality Of change In colonial
primacy which the later phases of the Boer war
have created.
A year or two ago in all speculations upon
South African confederation there was practi-
caIly no question as 10 the State which would
be, so TO speak, "primus inter pares." II was
Cape Colony. That colony was foremost in
population, in wealth, in industries and in trade
Its loyalty was unquestioned. II would be the
fitting centre OF the Dominion Of South Africa
Even In the early stages OF the Boer war the
same feeling prevailed. But of late there has
been change. Thousands OF Cape COlonists
have rebelled and Joined the Boer raiders who
have invaded the country. Evidence has accll-
mulated of a widespread reasonable conspiracy
In the Afrikander Bond. The backbone OF the
Boer war has for months been in Cape Colony
itself, among rebellious subjects. The constitu-
tion has had 10 be suspended and martial law
proclaimed even at Cape Town. The war is
not merely for the conquerlng OF the Transvaal
and Orange State but for the suppression of
widespread treason and rebellion in what has
been for century undisputed British territory
In such circumstances, talk of Cape Colony's
leadership In a South African federation of
British States rings false and hollow
On the other hand there is no stain upon and
no question concerning the loyalty of Natal. In
the first months OF the war that little colony
suffered from Boer invasons and ra wages mofe
than all the rest Of South Africa. But there
was no eoTnp0unding with the enemy, and no
treason 10 the imperial flag. The colony has
been and is as steadfast in its loyalty as is any
shire OF England itself Beyond doubt that
consideration will count for much in the final
readjustment OF South African affairs But
there is another consideraton-tfe commercial
and industrial one IL is generally recognized
that the Southern Transvaal the johannesburg
region, will be the industrial and financial centre
OF South Africa. Hitherto il has been In con-
nection with the sea and the outer world chiefly
by way OF Cape Town and Delagoa Bay. But

now reached complete victory, though still
distant. NAV be clearly discerned.
DESERVING OF HONOR.

- Something more than an incidental acknowl-
alignment of obligation is due to the men whose
disappointment at the selection of the Columbia
to defend the Cup is so keen and so courteousy
EXPRESSED. The owners of the Constitution
have spent probably not less than s250OO0 on
that unfortunate boat, and Mr.. Duncan and his
associates In her management have devoted an
amount of time and care to the delicate and
anxious work of developing her powers which
can doubtless be appreciated only by those on
whom similar task has been devolved.
If these gentlemen were now convinced that
she is a failure, inherently unworthy of the
honor Of meeting the Shamrock, or If they We're
ready TO admit that there is not time enough
left in which to bring out the qualities which
they really believe she possesses, their position
would be easier TO bear. But in fact they are
confident that she Is faster than the Columbia,
that her only defect has been Ill fitting sails,
and that two or three further tests would have
demonstrated her superiority. Nevertheless,
they have not shown trace of resentment or
spoken an Incorporate word. Their desire still
is TO do whatever may lie within their power
to keep the Cup on this side of the Atlantic and
in every respect their demeanor is that Of loyal
Americans and generous sportsmen.
New-York tribune., 1901-09-08

Durham is now to be reckoned with The enter
prising folk of Natal are planning such changes
in their railroads as will bring that port within
twelve hours time of johannesburg, a pro1im-
ity with which neither Cape Town nor Lou
renco Marquee can hope to compete They are
also planning such improvements OF the harpor
of Durham as will make it the best in all South
Africa. In brief. they propose to make DURHAM
the chief commercial city south of the Zambesi.
Ii will be interesting TO watch the working
out Of these schemes, which are ambitious in
the extreme, vet which are being promoted by
some of the shrewdest, most enterprising, most
energetic and most capable men in South Africa.
There is significance in the fact, too, that,
despite the vigorous protest Of the Cape, the
High Commissionership for South Africa has at
last been practically divorced from the Gov
ernorshp of Cape Colony. For while Lord Mil
ner was in England his locum tenens as High
Commissioner was Lord Kitchener. We do not
expect 70 see the Governor of Natal made High
Commissioner in succession to Lord Milner, yet
stranger things have happened than that would
be. Now that Mr.. Rhodes is so largely alienated
from Cape Colony, there will be no technical
insistence upon the cape TO Cairo scheme.
Durham TO Cairo would serve just as well, If
Durham were made the better outlet for the
great central provinces. 1t may we'll be that
the psychological moment has arrived for the
cry of advance, Natal"
