The battleship of the future will be of
great size: displacement will be not less
thsn 20, 900 tons, and this will increase
so rapidly that SO,OO0-ton ship will
probably be ahoat before the close of
the next decade. The main armament
will consist exclusively of heavy guns
of not less than 12-inch caliber, and I'M
less the difficulty of erosion can be over
come, the 12-inch will give place to a
l3-inch, and possibly to 14-inch piece.
Future engagements will be fought at
an extreme range, the extent of which
will be limited only by the ability of the
fire control officer to see the fall of the
shots. The determination of the range
at which an engagement shall be fought
will lie with the fleet which possesses
the faster speed.

Republic Is All Right.
New York WORLDLY

There is plenty of work for the critic
ard reformer to do; but there was never
less corruption in politics than now, the
government is cleaner and better, the
republic is more firmly established. The
greatest danger that threatens Ameri-
can institutions comes from the people
themselvef-from their good nature,
their indifference, their credulity, their
apathy, thier readiness to be exploited
by men who make politics trade.
The republic is bound to last as long
as the people retain the instinct and ca
pacity for self-government; even the
the latent desire for elf-government.
In spite of demagogues, never more elo-
quent, inuf initial, and high-stationed, in
spite of corruptionists; in spite of pre-
datory poverty, predatory plutocracy,
and all the other forces of evil, not only
are American institutions safe and the
republic secure. but they are safer and
securer than at any other period in the
history of the United States.
Long live the republic

The Legislature of Virginia is now in
session OF the one hundred and forty
members of the House of Delegates
and Senate, one hundred and eighteen
are Democrats. So, the Legislature is
almost solidly Democratic. More than
million dollars of surplus is now in
the State Treasury. The people will
watch closely to see what disposition
will be made of this large surplus. If
wisely appropriated it can be made of
great service. If not wisely used the
people should hold the Legislature to a
strict account. A lot of hungry vul-
lures assembled at the Capitol while
the General Assembly was in session
two years ago. Some of these were
fed from the public crib. We trust
there will be no repetition of those
scenes.

CLEVER SCHEME THAT FAILED.
Old Salesman's Advice Left Firm
Worse Of Than Before.

Henry Clews is telling a new story
which he says he got straight from
the Canal street district, says the
New York Times. A young jobbing
firm, the tale tells, overbought for
the fall trade. Their heaviest mistake
had been in the line of overcoats.
which it looked they would have to
carry over a season. Efforts to get
cash for the stock were fruitless, ex-
cept at ruinous rates. At last the firm
went to an old-timer in the trade for
advice. We'll" said the man of ex-
perience. you've got a pretty good
list OF customers. Just divide the
coats up into lots of thirteen each.
Send a batch apiece to some of your
sharpest customers, but make out
the bills for twelve. They'll be so
uckled to get one coat for nothing
that they'll take 'em all" The scheme
had been tried before the men met
again. The old-timer waited for his
praise. well, didn't they keep the
coats?" he asked. YES" returned
the jobber, sadly. "One each. The one
that wasn't billed"

the BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

From present indications the business
outlook for 1908 in the United States is
good For the past few months there
was considerable apprehension among
business men, this condition being
caused by the Wall Street or gamblers
panic" Conditions, however, are now
rapidly changing. Factories, mills and
furnaces that had shut down have re-
sumed and are resuming work, and
thousands of men that had temporarily
been idle are again at work
Many opinions have been expressed
by public and business men as to what
was the cause of the financial strin-
gency or so-called panic. The very diff
ficulty that is found in tracing the furry
to its true source is positive proof that
there was no legitimate reason for its
origin. One of its peculiar features is,
that it has made but little impression
upon rural or agricultural districts. The
farmers and agricultural labor seem to
have been possessed of the usual
amount of currency, and prices for ag-
ricultural products have not been ma
terially affected. AS long as these con.
ditions continue as to agriculture anC
labor there can be no severe panic; anC
they are now likely to continue will
the resumption that is taking plac,
among manufacturers.
Even though this is what is known a.
a Presidential year, we confidently ex
pect that it will prove a good bushes.
year for all the people.

REsvkup THE GREAT WRITER.
American Was Not Awed by orsuchy
Poet Laureate.

A writer In Hsrper's Weekly brings
to light an interesting anecdote Of
Tennyson which well illustrates the
singular habits of the great laureate
In his intercourse with his friends.
The poet was not only brusQue and
rough, but he was domineering and
exacting, and most other men were
afraid Of him. But an American
schoolmaster who for many years
maintained great intimacy with him
had no fear In his heart, and sat and
smoked on an equality with the sover-
eign singer by Farringford Preside.
One evening"" says the writer,
when the two were thus together.
Tennyson said that he would DEPART
from his custom and narrate n per
sona experience; but he had suffered
good deal from repetitions of his
tales by those to whom he had told
them, and he would be obliged to ask
his friend never to repeat what he
was about to hear. The American
smoked on for few seconds while
Tennyson waited for the promise, and
then he said: My lord, in my coun-
try a gentleman would never make
that request of another gentleman.
'H-h-m! said the poet, and looked
out OF eyes that wondered IL the
quiet smoker opposite knew how much
he'd said. Then he told the story"

Omaha Bee.)

One of the newspapers that has made
a specially of keeping track of crimes
of violence offers the encouraging re-
port that the lynching record for 1907
shows a decrease of more than 25 per
cent in number from last year, particu-
lar improvement in law observance be-
ing shown in nearly all of the Southern
States. The lynching of negroes for al
legged assaults upon white women num-
bered about eighteen for the year, as
compared with forty-five last year.
Credit to this improvement must go
to the governors of several states, in
Guiding Governor Vardaman, of Missis-
sippi, who have taken a determined
stand against lynch law and have not
hesitated to use the state troops to pre-
vent mob violence. In both the Caro-
linas laws have been passed which pro-
vide that persons accused of participa-
ton in lynching bees may be tried in
counties other than that in which the
crime was committed. In both states
the governors have taken advantage OF
this provision of the law and have con-
Quoted vigorous prosecutions of mob
leaders, having the cases tried in coun-
ties where it was possible to secure jur.
ors who were not in full sympathy with
the accused. The conviction by this
method of several prominent citizens
has had wholesome deterrent effect
ana has served to demonstrate the fact
that lynching may be abolished when.

attention to their obligations to secure

Gradually the currency premium. the
index at once of bad monetary laws

fading to nothing. Cheaper money, as
greenbacker theorists and practical
bankers agree, means better prices for
commodities and more confidence in en-
terprises- The Berlin Imperial Bank
contemplates a reduction of discount
rate. The Bank of England will natur-
ally follow. Gold imports have about
stopped.
These evidences of returning normal
state of business depend on each other,
and all point in the same direction. Lon

another sequence of better grasp of

open upon a consciousness of strength

of the ''panic of unreason" are not re-

quickly followed by any semblance to a
boom. Yet the most conservative Am
erican now feels that the poise of the
money market is restored. If caution
in operation is the rule for a year, the
permanent effect will be useful rather
than detrimental. The country will
