Hobson, although there were only a

reckless daring, superb courage and

Chapters in the history of our coun-

the glamour of the deed, and the
sinking of the Merrimac, as the
country now realizes accomplished
no purpose other than to send to
the bottom an old hulk that cost the
government about five times more
than it was worth and which had
seriously impeded the movements of
our fleet off the Southern coast of
Cuba. Aside from the fact, WHICH
should always be borne in mind,
that the sinking Of the Merrlmac
illustrated the willingness OF Amer

for their country, the achievement
has dw1ndled as Iced of heroism

and South American Railroad.
Jew Orleans States.

New Orleans States.
One of the most important que>
tons to be presented To- the Pan
American Congress now in session
in the City of Mexico is the con.
struction of what has been called "a
| spinal railroad' railroad, extending
the American railway system
through Mexico and Central Amer
lea into the States of South America
and making it possible to- travel
from the northern part Of the United
States TO the southern part of South
America. Such Ii he was projected
nearly twenty years ago and plans
for its construction have received
much consideration, because rail
road capitalists are impressed by
the fact that it would open great
possibilities in the extension, OF our
commerce and creating new markets
for the products of this country.
Formerly we sent our products to
Mexico by water as we now do to
South America, but the lines Of rail-
ways constructed in Mexico and
connecting with our own railway sys-
tenn have largely increased the trade
Of the United States and Of Mexico,
and it is safe 10 assume that the same
result would follow the "spiIal
cord railroad" through South Amer
lea so rich in natural resources that
the trade of that country would be
of immense value to us. The plan
which will he presented to the Pan
American Congress in the City of
Mexico was devised by ex-senator
Davis of West Virginia, who is now
one of the American delegates to
the Congress. Mr.. Davis estimates
that the sum of money necessary to
the construction Of the railway
would be 5000, 900, 900, which is a
very large figure, but net sufficiently
large to startle American railway
financiers Of the present day.
Ex-senator Davis holds that the
new enterprise is no more tremen-
dous than certain others which are
in operation, nor is the mileage ex-
cessive, for five thousand miles,
which Is fixed as the length Of the
''pinal cord" would make less than
half the mileage of some of our
present railway systems. therefore
can not be offered as
an objection to the enterprise. The
can be constructed and the
construction Of it would be of en-
ormous benefit of the United States.
This country, however, should not
be asked to provide the money or
Is an abundance OF private capital
to finance the enterprise.

1t is doubtful II lnv Congress has
yer assembled in which the MAORI
ty party was SO divided IN opinion
as 10 subjects and character IL
legislation as is the Republican
majority in the C'rgr. SIS that meets
| to day. Upon all the great que--
tons that have been before the

pired, and upon which this Con-
gress has been expected to act,
there are radical and seemingly
irreconcilable differences.
Democratic infelicit,es re a mat
ter of small moment comparatively,
for that party is not responsible for
any department Of the government.
If IT'S Congressman choose to get
together in caucus and indulge in
plain talk, including trailing accu-
sations'-such as Michael, the
archangel, did not venture to hurl
at the devil in that great dispute
about the body of Moses-what of
it? 1t neither prevents nor hslts
legislation, nor does it adversely
affect any interest Of the nation.

Democracy has not had its fill of

when the Republican side Of Con-
gress cannot agree. We had an
illustration of that in the bitter fight
over tie Porto Rican bill two years q
ago. The tempest ragged in Con-
gress and all over the country.
Leading Republicans in and out of
Congress made speeches and gave
out interviews that constituted the
best ammunition for the DemoCra-
tic campaign. And if the Demo-
cracy had gone into that campaign
with a candidate and platform ac-
ceptable to conservative citizens,
the result might have been different.
1t was Porto Rico, our lnsolar

fight was waged. 1t is Cuba, oar

On one side we see the
most deadly hostility to any policy
looking to annexation. On the
other side we find firm convection
that Cuba will, at no distant day
ask for and receive the boon of an
nexation to the United States. 1t
is possible that this conflict may
soon become so fierce as to OBJ
scure other factional quarrels. And
if the Democrats can stop quarrel
ing and get together IN favor of fair
treatment Of Cuba looking to an
nexation, their party may find great
profit in this Republican family dis
turbance. Meanwhile, it NAV be
we'll for both parties to remember
these lines of dear old DR.. Watts:

1t pains us to observe that the
government is put to SO much in
convenience and expense in the
work Of transporting the Hon. John
Wesley Gaines to and from various
places on the globe. Yet we can
not but feel that the work is we'll
worth the money and annoyance
involved. Constant and uninter-
rupted travel abroad would ma
terially increase the Tennessee state
mans value as legislator. Wash

The proposition is open to ques
ten. 1t is hard to conceive that
the Tennessee statesman's value as
a statesman could be materially in
creased. That involves a magni-
tude that is almost too much for
human comprehension. But the
government ought to know better
than to attempt to provide trans
portation for the gentleman and his
cargo of information on single
transport, on one and the same
trip. There is such thing as
crowding a transport beyond its
capacity.
