North and South.

The President in one of his speeches in
Texas declared that the men of the south
and the men of the north had only to meet
and mingle to become good friends and
stouter patriots than ever. 1t was not a
new sentiment, but as expressed by the
earnest and ardent man at the head of the
nation 1t was heartily applauded- Texas
voted a resoundins aye to the proposition
At Worcester Mass. the other day memo
rial services were held for the late Senator
Hoar. He was greatly beloved by his peo-
pie, and deserved the attachment. He was
thoroughly representative of them in their
best and most aggressive estate. He was
a Puritan, a republican. and partisan to
the core In all matters of controversy en-
gaging his sympathies. He always took
sides. and led his side. In Congress he
stood for preserving all the good fruits of
the civil war and voted with his party
whether he agreed with it not whenever
the final choice came between 1t and the
opposition. In his day he was the subject
of much bitter partisan arraignment
The orator on this occasion was Senator
Daniel of Virginia, a democrat. and as
warm a partisan on his side as Mr.. Hoar
was on his. He fought for the southern
confederacy. and in Congress has supported
all of his party's measures. His name and
Mr.. H9ar's have rarely appeared in the
same column when the Senate was polled
on measures of party significance. He is
as representative of Virginia as Mr.. Hoar
was of --assac- -usC it's. But his eulogy of
his dead friend was very eloquent and
tender. His acquaintance had brought him
to high appreciation of the man, and
standing before Mr.. Hoars old neighbors
and constituents he spoke of him in terms
which must have moved them profoundly.
This was fully confirmatory of the truth
of the Presidents Texas delverance. Mr..
Daniel and Mr. HOar had met and
mingled, and warm friendship was the re-
suit 1t is safe to say that had Mr.. Daniel
gone first and the people of Lynchburg
held memorial services for him Mr.. Hoar
upon invitation would have responded with
an address testfying to the heartiest APP
probation Of the Virginian's talents and
character. Mr.. HOar remained a Puritan
and republican to the end. Mr.. Daniel will
remain a democrat and a Virginian to the
end. But each. we may be sure, prohted
by a close study of the qualities of the
other, and by the discovery afresh that. in
a country like this while men may divide
sharply on policies they are as one in ad-
vancing the general broad purposes of the
government

Comedy Not Extinct.

Real comedy is not dead This declara-

the play a look OF unbelief but II is true.

Spanish-American war was reported from
Mole st. Nicholas and Park Row, the ac-
curate record of events In the Boxer up-

dog has his day.
From the Minneapolis Journal

From the Sioux City Tribune.
Some of the packers chief clerks and de-
partment officials will be wondering what

They are always dangerous.
From the Los Angeles Herald
The beef trust has advanced prices In all
the eastern markets. Chicago reports that
the consumer is paying the advance which
to him represents several cents a pound
over what he paid up to ten days ago" The
trust is promptly realizing on Commissioner
Garfield's report to the effect that the trust

JOHN PAUL JONES.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New 1O-k Tribune
The fact that four cities-Fredericksb
Annapolis, New York and Philadelphia
have put forward claims TO the honor of
rendering a last resting place for the re-
mains of John Paul Jones illustrates Amer
icas want of a Westminster Abbey or a
st. Paul in which to entomb its heroes and
greatest men. 1t should be remembered,
however, that 1t took Westminster Abbey
many centuries to gain the place it now
holds as a memorial shrine. America is
young yet, but it is a hopeful sign that
it has begun to do all in its power 10 honor
its illustrious dead.
From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
The cities which are said to be striving to
secure the remains of John Paul Jones Will
have to do more digging for the honor than
they did to recover the hero's body.
From the Hartford Courant.
John Paul Jones once lived for couple
of years or so, in fredericksburg, Va. He
got his commission and his chance for I'M
dying fame at Philadelphia. Both cities
are now likely to be heard from as claim
ants for his body. But the grave and mon
ument of John Paul Jones should be within
sight of the dome of the Capitol at Wash
ington He belongs to the United States
of America,
From the Atlanta Constitution.
BY all means let the body of gallant Paul
Jones rest at Annapolis as an heroic in
Spifation to the future Paul JoneSeS ol the
American navy.
From the Chicago Journal.
The government is going to send war
ship to bring home the remains of John
Paul Jones. But 1t is not the same gov
eminent that when he was alive and starv-
ing, refused to give him command In the
navy.
From tn, New York World.
Where in this country is there resting
place so fitting for the remains OF John
Paul Jones as New York? 1t was In the
vicinity of Manhattan that he planned to
purchase an estate and settle down after
the war of the revolution. 1t was here for
the last time that he trod American soil
before his final departure for Europe. 1t
was here that he received the gold medal
conferred upon him by Congress for his
valiant services in the cause OF lndepend-
ence 1t was here, at the gateway of the
continent that he predicted was to be
created lone of our first naval ports.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Councils have done well in requesting
that the bones of the late Paul Jones be de-
posted in this city. New York wants them.
Washington claims them and this state has
done all that is possible to secure the final
deposit The report that the body is to be
Inferred at Washington may be correct
but we can hardly feel that 1t Is a proper
sepulcher. There was no Washington when
Jones was commissioned. He got his chance
in the American navy in this city, and here
his bones should rest along with those of
the other naval heroes who have made the
dpuntry so famous.

1t is true that there are cats in whose
