AGAIN THE SOUTH eRIEvEs.

Again has the Great Commander called the roll and true son of the South has responded. Again has the Angel of Death hurled his dart and stricken down one among the noblest of the grand array of true and splendid men who made Virginia and the South famous throughout the world.
 Reagan, Bate, Battle, Lee--aii in a few brief months have gone from amongst those who loved them and trusted them, and this last was like the sudden messenger of death on the red field of carnage. On many battle field he had defied the death shots which were reaping the ranks of his comrades on all sides. but he was spar ed for more than q generation to do other work and to tread the paths of peace with the same high sense of honor that marked his life in war. He had not quite reached the Psalmists limit of human life, but his years were full of honor.
 For centuries the Lee family has been an honored one In England. and in America nothing has been done to mar that record. From the time when their ancestor, Richard Lee, emigrated to the colonies in the time oA Charles l, the line has ever been true to the land of their choice. The grandfather of Fitzhugh Lee, the famous Light Horse Harry" of the Revolution, the friend of Washington. was one of the knightIiest of knightiy raee." and whenever duty called Fitzhugh his res- ponse always was Aye. ready" Wheth- CT as a soldier of the Federal army. fighting Indians in the West, or as dashing cavalry leader in the armies Of the confederacy he bore sword on which no stain ever rested. Duty was with him the compelling watch word and whether that word required him to serve under the stars and stripes or the stars and bars he never faItered. Again. when the flag of the confederacy went down forever he again, like his illustrious uncle, be- came a loyal citizen of the united gev- ernment and showed himself as ready to fight for the restored Union as he had been to fight for the South.
 General Lees life as a civilian, since he sheathed his sword at Appomatox. has been the life of a true and loyal citizen. worthy of the name of Ameri- can and Virginian. For nearly forty years he has trod the paths of peace, trusted and honored by his people, always ready to serve them or his country. and in all things refecting credit on the honored name he bore and on the people among whom he grew and lived and for whom every heart throb was in unison. He has gone from among us. one more of the heroes of the Confederacy. and his body will rest in his beloved Virginia. and in the old Richmond which was the capitol of the short-lived nation that was to him almost sacred ground when war ragged over the land of his birth. If no inscription but his name should be placed on his tomb 1t would be suf- feient, for history and fame will tell the story. Virginia mourns a gallant son, but all the South and the Union | joins in her sorrow.

taingiy good authority on the subject, states that about s5 per cent of the heat energy of coal can be put into the steam boiler, and from this only 15 per cent of mechanical power is obtained Thus about nine-tenths of the original heat in coal is wasted" What is true of wasted heat is equally true of steam power. It is the most wasteful method of producing mechanical power that can be imagined, and this is one of the reasons why water-developed electrical power Is becoming so popu- lar,

Pathological View of Bribery.

Governor Garvin of Rhode Island has effect of laws against corrupt prac- tices, because in the present degrada- tion of public sentiment on the subject such laws are easily evaded, as aye laws regarding taxation of personal property. The laws of our States against corrupt practices are not en- forced as similar laws are in Great Britain. Being a physician, he gives what we may call pathological view of the disease of bribery The under lying cause of bribery in elections is to its rightful owner than it Is to the candidate. Now, if this condition could be reversed. that the possessor of the ballot should esteem 1t almost priceless, and inc candidate find that to him a purchased vote was of little use. then bribery would cease"

Banks as Public Benefits.
New Orleans Picayune.

NtW OTIbdIlS f7IcdyUHt.
 Many people who deal with banks every day do not really understand the proper object and purpose of banking. Banks can not create money, but they can gather small sums which are dis- trin4ted among the people and !thus available for important business ope- rations Nhat previously would have been impossible. Individuals, each pos- sessing a few hundreds or a few thous- ands, invest 1t in stock in a bank, and thus fund of $50.000 or $100, 900 is es- tablished in a town or community as a great aid to the business activity and prosperity of It's people. There is no more money in the community than there was previously, but 1t is in d the successful conduct of five times O :: ten times the amount of business than its actual sum stands for.

The Truth of It

Birmingham News.
 The truth of the business is a large proportion of these so-called official tours of inspection are nothing more nor less than a big jag at the public expense. They usually amount to nothing and often result in scandals. There Is too much junketing at the eX- pense of the taxpayers. It would De interesting to ascertain how many of these Congressman are actuated by a sincere desire to learn something .of the conditions in the Philippines Tor future use in Congress.

The True Way.

Birmingham Age-HeFaIu, ,,
 The true way to curb paternalism and keep the country on the indiylduai- istie track of Tom Jefferson's day, IS to curb privilege. Wherever social ism becomes a dominant, or even ris- ing force, there you will find privilege strongly intrenched, robbing the peo- pie almost without reserve or limit. When we begin to put bounds to priVi- lege then and not until then will the soeialistic spirit begin to subside.

The rheumatic illness of State Su- perintendent of Education Isaac w.

 The rheumatism of Superfntendent Hill grew out of a severe case or Ia grippe which he suffered nearly two months ago. It Is all caused, 1t IS believed now by his constant expos tire to the untoward weather of Feb ruary and March and probably earlier when he was making. frequent trlpSS over the State in the interest of loeal taxation in numerouS counties TOT school purposes. In these treYels MT; Hill necessarily spent an unusual amount of time In the open air as cross-country trips were made almost daily.

A Splendid Showing.

The Independent is in receipt OF
copy of the Seventh Annual Report
of Mr.. B. H. Robinson, president OF the
Bankers Reserve Life Co. of Omaha
The report shows that this enterpris-
ing company has reached the high
mark of almost ten millions dollars OF
first~class Insurance in force. The
growth when compared with the first
seven years of any of the larger COM
panies in the United States shows that
the Bankers Reserve has better rec
ord than any of them. People in Me-
braska have reason to point with pride
to this growing company. All OF it's
reserve fund held for the protection
of policy holders is invested in regis
tered bonds and first mortgages on real
estate which are deposited with the
Auditor of Public Accounts Of the State
OF Nebraska. With his report Mr.
Robinson submitted a complete list
giving in detail description of the
bonds and mortgages in which the
funds of the company are invested. An
examination shows that the loans have
been made upon the best and most val
liable farming lands in Nebraska and
upon the most conservative basis. Any
