A PLAIN DUTY.

President Roosevelt, has notified
the railway companies that he will
insist on the enforcement of the in
terstate commerce and Sherman laws
to the fullest extent. This is no
credit to him or his administration
but reason for the condemnation of
all past administrations that have
knowingly and willfully ignored the
welfare of the people for the benefit
of corporation interests. The duty
of the executive is to enforce the
laws regardless of consequence. If
unjust repeal is the rene DIV
Grover Cleveland should have been
promptly impeached for his refusal
to act in enforcing the Geary law.
And many provisions in the interests
OF the people. but against corpora
lions of different kinds, have been
ignored by the executive officer of
the nation Systematically for years
past. And with no more right to
the exercise of an opinion in the
matter than has the sheriff of a
county to refuse to act on the order
OF a court to serve papers. This
is the law of a republic. Executive

New York.-The Commercial

..While the world has been

ton of the South and her remark

mercial progress, the South her.
self has long since ceased to be
new in the sense in which that
word was applied to her thirty
five years ago. 1t is the same
South, the same warm-heated, /,
impulsive people, but they have
been doing business in their own
way so long that the odd and the
'Aew' have now lost their individ-
uality. and. the South has come
to suggest to the present genera
ton not the history, the traditions
or the politics of that section, but
a people of temendour ener-
gies, ambitions, progressive. and
engaged as a mass in wealth build
ings and in the establishment of
the most enlightened and benef-
cient institutions.
"With practically only a single
industry a third of a century ago,
the South has since wrought a
score or more out of her natural
resources, without mentioning
king cotton. Who could have
predicted in 1860 that forty years
thence the South would not only
be shipping coal, iron and steel
to the North and West, but actu-
ally be exporting steel products
to foreign countries? There Is
now scarcely a State in the Union
that does not use her timber, and
her exports of it are continually
bringing foreign. gold into her

gardens scatter their welcome
products for into the snow and

These men are paid from the

that does not excuse the extrava-
