He is a very conspicuous public man. and deservedly so; but his lame will be the less for the imperfect sys- tenn of parliamentary government our ,saihers made for us. The builders Of our constitution feared the people as much as they hated the despot. In- deed. license was more dreaded by them than autocracy. Hence our govern ment is far from responsive to popu- lar demand. It is even contemptuous of it. One notable example was seen in 1890, when the people condemned the administration of Mir. Harrison more emphatically than any other ad- ministration was ever reproved before. or has been censured since. Yet the administration did not turn hair, but kept the steady course 1t had before pursued. Such contempt of the peo- ple's will by men In power in mon archical England would make revolu- tion swift and irresistible.
 There is no doubt that if the despot were endowed with the genius of administration of Napoleon Bonapafte and the sincere and inflexible love Nof monarchy would be the best govern ment man has yet invented; but the innate selfishness of our nature crops out on the throne as well as in mean CT places, and monarchy has produced more hateful rulers like Caligula than 1t has wise princes like Marcus Aure- Illus. Absolutism has too many worm less scamps like Henry of Valols, third of the name, to be sponsor Tor. on the other hand, the rule of a populace, dominated by Clean, is worse government than the tyranny of Nero.

There is a happy medium govern ment by the representatives of peo- ple that was evolved out of the poIty of the barbarian tribes who overtnreW the Roman empire and overran west ern Europe from the Baltic to the Med iterranean. From them came the Cor tez of Spain, the states General or France. the Parliament of England the Diet of Germany. ana me Con press of America. This thing of gov ernment by representatives cnosen py the people exists in highest perIecti9n in the united kingdom of Great BrI.aih B and Ireland where the House or Col mons is the ruler. In theory we navy if in the United States; but It mas ue generated until Theodore hooseVen ID as much tee ruler of the Anericai people as Henry VII was or tne Ehs fish. or Henry W was or the Frencn.
 If our fathers had not fearea tne people they would have estanhsnea s that the PresIdeIWs Cabinet shoutu formulate the policy of the admlhisr tration. and that Cabinet, with ten ure of two years, should De setectee from the majority side of the House Vh Representatives.

THE FINANCIAL CRISIS.

A persistent fight has been
made ON trusts and wa.ered

taken heed and the results
has been u loss of confidence
which brought stocks tumb.

suited and these in turn caus.
ed Il stpingency in the money
market aud shook the country
from one ocean To the other.
Wheat, corn. cattle, hogs and
even the innocent hen tumbled
headlong, until Saline county
was probably a million dollars
to the bad.
But the day Of Wall Street
servitude is over and with
prompt action of the banking
and business interests con-
tidence was quickly restored
and the market will probably
be back in normal condition
after several weeks. There
was considerable talk but lit.
tie uneasiness here. The
markets fell here as else
where. Swift 4 Co. and sew
eral other firms curtailed their
purchases until the market
settles.
Every good mule deprecia-
ted probably $25, yet there is
no need of a loss. BY holding
the mules several weeks he
will no doubt be himself again.
The only real sufferer was the
man compelled to go to market

A new, up-to-date commercial hotel

nothing definite can be given just at

from one of the parties interested,
that il has been practically decided
u construct the hotel and it may be
that some definite steps in that direc-

Another hotel IN Brunswick has
been talked Of for some time. People
have expressed themselves that it
was badly needed, but nothing has
ever been done towards securing it,
OF late, however it has been plainly
demonstrated that another hotel will
pay in Brunswick, and several bust

advisabuity Of erecting one

the improvements are completed,

state The service is now well nigh
perfect in every respect but this one
hostelry is not sufficient to accom-
'modate the demands, and even after
the additional rooms are secured
will the hotel be able to care for any
rush Of visitors to the city 1t is
almost an every night occurrence
these days for guests to be turned
down because of the lack of rooms,
and while there win be 30 new ones
ready in a few more weeks, still it
is not believed that these will be
sufficient, especially whenever there
lis a special occasion Of any kind in
the city which would bring visitors.
All the different conventions held
here recently it has been difficult for
the delegates to secure accommoda-
tions in the city, and when the A..
b. & \. brought down Il big eXcur-
sion few weeks ago most Of the
visitors had to spend the night walk
ing around The city, the hotels and
lodging houses having been filled
early during the evening.
Il is an acknowledged fact that a
good commercial hotel in Brunswick
would be a paying investment and,
as stated above. while no definite
steps have yet been taken, it is not
at al unlikely that Brunswick will
have such a hostelry in the near
future.
