ment has grown here and there some unrest
among our people. But the nation is strong,
and able to command respect both at home
and abroad The war with Spain demon
strated the fact that the country is united
and the people Of all sections love it.
In the second place. II a monarchical
spirit should set up strong enough to dis
solve the Union. 1T would be strong enough
to control much the greater part of the ter
ritory now embraced in the Union. To as
sumo less than this would be to belittie the
efforts of the men who tried to break UP
the government in 1861. They were nu-
merous and very resolute, and commanded
wide strip of country. But they failed.
Those who desired the republic to live were
more numerous and as resolute their
foes. The republic was saved, and the men
who saved it were strong enough to impose
their terms on the defeated.
A monarchy in place of this republic
would mean therefore an act of the great
majority of the people of the country. And
would that majority flushed with such sue
cess. stop short of imposing it's terms far
and near on dissenters? Would it be likely
to tolerate any little republics on it's bor-
ders peOpled with those who had resisted
the change of the old conditions? Texas as
state of the American Union is of some
consequence in the matter of size and re-
sources. But it would be small potatoes,
indeed republic in itself, defying the
spread of a monarchcal spirit which had
swept the United States of America out Of
existence.
Judge Reagan Is unduly alarmed. The
country shows no signs of the end he pre-
diets. But. come veal or come woe, Texas
is likely to continue to be influenced by the
spirit which dominates the territory Of
which she is now part.

Patriotism of Civil Life.
From the Springfield Republican.

Washington is the residence of thousands
of public officials, high and low, and scan
dals In the public service murk the air
The President must have had these facts
in mind as he developed the thought that
the corruptionist in public life, whether
he be ibe-giver or bribe-taker, strikes at
the heart of the commonwealth" The re-
public needs the doctrine preached in high
places that the patriotism of civic life
overshadows even the patriotism of the
battlefield, because, as Mr.. Roosevelt fine
ly says, the duties of peace are with us
always" This is perhaps the first of the
Presidents addresses. while acting as head
of the nation, in which. these ideas have
been uttered with proper emphasis, COM
pared with the usual glorifcation Of the
spirit Of militariSm.
1t was a speech, especially in it's latter
part, which could i'll be spared, coming as
it did from the chief magistrate, in the
capital city, on such an occasion.

South Cardinals Reputation.
From the New York Tribune


Do the people of South Carolina honestly

quantities will be attracted to the state

that desirable immigration in troops will
pour into her territory while such a re-
proach upon her good name as the acQuit-
tai of Tillman, her former lieutenant gov
ernor, who shot down an unarmed man in
cold blood close to the doors of the state
house, is fresh in mems minds?

There was no formal ceremony

pets. Mr.. Krickbaum has held
nearly every other Office in the
county, and as he is man OF pos
tive character, he has made enc
mics as we'll as friends, and opinion
is divided as to the manner i'll which
he has filled the various Offices
Some people are of the opinion that
his political success is the result OF
his own shrewdness, while others
believe that at least ON 81 om
occasions his success has been some
what due to the enemies he has
made, however this may be, "the
old man. has had remarkable
career, and he will probably round
up his political days as Judge Krick'

to prevent his return to office, the fact
that his administration has been able
to pile up 100000 in profits. causing
the directors to select the old adminis-

it be known that he will push forward

Improvements for Georgetown.

1t was stated authoritatively today
that the Baltimore ana Ohio is con-
sidering. among several other extern
sions, the proposed line from Chevy
Chase into Georgetown. It Is said that
the officers Of the company are Willing
to construct the necessary track TO
give Georgetown an independent out
let for freight, especially coal coming
into the city on the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal. They are going over the
various letters and petitions received
from Georgetown business men. and il
is expected that action will be taken
by the railroad early in the spring
toward constructing the line If the res
idents of Georgetown bestir themselves
and aid the railroad in obtaining tho
necessary rights of way. There IS less
than seven miles Of track to be con,
structed. 1t was also said today that
the railroad rather expects to hear from
some of the Georgetown business or
CARNATIONS offering some sort of induce
ments in the way Of necessary rights.
That the construction OF such a branch

mitted by all who are familiar with
the situation.

Ordered Back to Work.

The Pennsylvania Railroad is gradu-
ally putting back at work all the men
who were laid of few weeks ago. Just
why the reductions were ordered IS. not
known positively. but it is said that the
officers Of the big Keystone system had
become imbued with the prevalent idea
that big slump in business was near
at hand. The fallacy OF this belief. how
ever. has been proved, and advfces
from Pittsburg announce that all OF the
freight crews who were among those
laid of have been ordered back to work.
These advices state that the freight
trains were cut of in anticipation
of the falling of in traffic. but that in
stead of this being the case business has
increased so rapidly that the yards be-
tween Pittsburg and Philadelphia have
been blocl1aded with freight.
