1t will be seen that the total investments in manu-
featuring in the eleven States more than eight
times the amount of such investments at the outbreak
OF the Civil War. The figures, however do not tell
the full story. Between 1860 there ntervened four
years OF war and about eight years of disturbance fol-
lowing reconstruction. At the end OF these disastrous
years the South too impoverished to do much
in the way OF developing industries so that vir-

the Southern people may be expected to advance

come augmented means for developing the resources
Of the country, and those resources are we'll nigh
boundless. Moreover, by work her people will be
trained to work better than they worked before
The South will learn the value of intelligent and
highly paid labor and the conditions of her working
classes will improve. In such an advancing com
munty there will be no place for the ider and the
rowdy. The law will be better enforced for the pro-
lection OF both whites and blacks so that in time

THE ELECTION OF PERKINS.

The State is gratifed by the reelection of Sena-
tor Perkins. 1t is in line with the proper policy
of retaining experience in the States service in Con-
gress Partisanship aside the people should always
carefully consider utility in making changes in their
Congressional representation. By this it is not in

quenty to the people, be used as they see fit
wisely or unwisely The more they study their own
interests in its the more they seem to favor
stability of national policy and seek to secure it by
retaining experienced members of Congress. Sena
tor Perkins has increased his influence with each
session. and it is now substantially enlarged by his
reelection What he has been able to do for the
State is affirmed and approved and what he will be
able to do is put on progressive and increasing
scale.
AS matter of cold fact considered from mate
rial standpoint, seat in either branch is of small
financial advantage, and in Senator Perkins case
doubtless carries a financial loss The member of
Congress who comes out financially even with the
world does well, and perhaps majority OF them do
not do that
The place is one of work and service OF hard work
and hard service, and is not prize to the self
seeker. For these reasons the people do well when
they find a capable man willing to devote to their
interests his time and energy.

M ASTROGORSKI is foreigner who came
NV TO this country, took casual survey of our
H politics and then went home and wrote a
book about us. Concerning the extent OF his tour
and the land of his home no information is at hand
All that comes to is a summary given in some
of Eastern exchanges of what he has written
about Congress and Legislatures. He has
not congratulated upon our lawmakers nor upon
the laws they have made and therefore the few ex-
tracts quoted from his book are not pleasing TO
patriotic sensibilities; but since it is said that it is
always good ourselves as others see us it will
be worth while taking a look at the mental kodak
snapshot NJ Astrogorski has taken OF us.
OF the Federal Government he is reported to have
written Congress is deficient at every point; it
fails to protect the public purse, to administer the
finances, to safeguard the credit of the country and
to pass the necessary laws Its power, whether le-
gitimate usurped, is expended in demonstrations
and maneuvers which aim at the applause of unthink
ing mobs and in the service Of private interest"
OF course, that is caricature. Congress has
passed good many very good laws. The prosperity
OF the country, the security of business enterprises
and the steady advance of general prosperity are ev
dences enough that the trend of legislation has been
beneficial Still, in the caricature one can recognize
some of the features OF Uncle Sans great national
body of Solons. We waiting for&a currency
reform law, law for the promotion of our merchant
marine law for the better regulation OF interstate
commerce, law for the careful restriction of
immigration and law for the preservation OF the
grazing lands OF the nation and it looks as if we
waiting in vain. Evidently, then the Astrogorsk
kodak did not fail to take recognizable picture. II
is not the whole truth about Congress, but it is true
enough to make everybody say, That's it."

AND THEN Returned.
John Sawrey. Who Disappeared Thir-
ty Years Ago, Suddenly APP
pears at His Home.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Mulberry Grove, Ill, Dec. a.-The story
of John Sawrey, who has returned, after an
absence of thirty years, reads like fiction.
One night he dropped out of sight as
completely as if he had been swallowed up
by the earth. No word came to his wife
to explain his departure, and she mourned
him as dead. Five years after her husband
disappeared she procured a divorce and
married Robert Thompson, a prominent
farmer of Fayette County.
Sawrey returned last week, unlike the
man who went away. He Is white-haired
now, and bears little resemblance to the
young man of 80, but his wife recognized
him for all that.
1t SO happens that her second husband
died year ago. SO that she is free to re-
turn to her first love.
Sawrey disappeared on account of debts
which he could not pay, but after leaving
he earned the money and sent 1t to his
creditors. without letting them know where
he was, until he paid them every one.
When he left here Sawrey was City Mar
shal, and, in connection with this. he was
collector for several firms. By and unfor-
tunate circumstance he got behind in his
collections to the extent of about $1,000. II
he had explained the situation to his friends
it would have been all right. for no one
ever doubted the honor and integrity of
John Sawrey. But he could not bear to
face his creditors, and so he went away
one night without letting any one know
where he was going.
He became wanderer. and for years
traversed the western half OF the United
States. engaging in various pursuits, from
