Spring.
From the st. Louis Republic

The coming of spring diffuses a strange
grace over sky and earth. for spring Is a
season CT the shadowing forth of unborn
splendors and glories yet to be. Its pow
err, seen through veil of mystery and
of knowledge but in part, lays hold Of
the human spirit with peculiar strength.
We are moved to these random observa-
tions by a conviction that the theory
usually invoked to account for the well
come Of spring overlooks a capital fact
the fact that the human year and the
year of the long procession of the woods
and fields do not synchronize. For the
birds, the flowers and the beasts of the
field, spring is the season that opens the
year; for man 1t does nothing of the sort.
Autumn Is the spring of the human
race, for what the winter is to the beast
the time of greatest physical drain-the
heated term Is to human beings. The
human animal is at his physical best
throughout the cold season OF the year.
When the cool breezes of autumn begin
to fan his cheek, and the wild fowl fly
south above his head the human spring
time begins. The commercial and edu-
cational worlds recognize this fact in q
practical way. The educational year be-
gins in the fall, with the awakening OF
those energies of mind which have slum-
bered through the exhausting heat. and
the commercial world gives vacations to
its workers in the height of summer, for
the season of maximum effort for tree
and shrub and waving grain Is the ebb-
tide season for man.

Change Of Date.

The black trail left by inauguration day
lengthens. The March statistics of the
health department show lie deaths from
pneumonia. This long death roll would
not have been recorded II the ceremonies
Of Inauguration had been held On a fair.
instead of a blizzard day. With inaugu-
ration held on an appropriate and his
toric day late in April. the chances great
ly favor a genial day; held on March 4
the chances greatly favor raw, stormy
weather.
Let the change be made. Public senti-
ment almost unanimously urges the shift.
There is really no opposition except that
of inertia to the change of date.

more and more toward protection. Flor'
ida is booming. and wants her interests
protected. And so on.
| The south has always been assured
of protection when the republicans were
in power 1t has come to her from the
| fact that protection cannot be made sec.
tional. The policy is bound to be ma
tional. The demand is. not for protec-
ton for northern. southern, eastern OF
western industries. but for American in
dustries. Those OF the south have the
same claim as those Of any other Sec
ton. The fact that the south in Con.
gress and in the electoral college throws
her strength to the party opposed to pro-
lection cuts no figure against her. A re-
jure the south more than themselves. The
south is safe on that score.
Here and there a southern representa-
tive now voting for protection may lose
his nomination next year. but the man
who comes in his place will be a demo
crat, subject to local influences on local
issues and to his party on the presidential
issue. There need be no mistake in any
calculation as to that
AS for Mr.. Bryan and Organism, it is a
of populism. The western populists did
not put him forward. and have not. kept
him forward. He won his spurs in a
democratic national convention on an
issue which the democrats Of both the
south and the west had been supporting
for years. Free silver coinage had re-
ceived the votes In Congress of demo
cratic leaders before Mr.. Bryan was out
of knickerbockers. What he did at Chi
cago in 1896 was simply to give to the ole
issue a new rhetorical presentation; and
he did 1t so attractively the convention
invested him with leadership. the south
assisting.
Portions of the south are very tired OF
Mr. Bryan. and some of her politicians
share the feeling. But neither silver nor
tariff has anything to do with the matter
These southern politicians want to win a
presidential election, and regard Mr.
Bryan as a hoodoo. But II the situation
brightens for the democracy by 1912. and
success seems likely. they will accept
Mr.. Bryan again for leader without a
murmur.

Appomattox,

Tomorrow forty-four years ago at 4:3O
in the afternoon Gen. Grant sent to Secre-
tary Stanton a dispatch announcing Gen.
Lees surrender Of the Army Of Northern
Virginia. The name OF Appomattox was
heard around the world. A little Virginia
hamlet became the most thought OF and
the oftenest spoken of place on earth. 1t
was a name that was spoken triumphant
ly throughout the Union states and re-
gretfully but resignedly throughout the
south.
Richmond had fallen on April 3. Lee,
retreating westward from Petersburg to-
ward Lynchburg. pressed on all sides. his
force depleted until it was almost a
phantom army, and a train of provisions
that seemed to stand between his men and
starvation captured by Sheridan at APP
pomattox station. found 1t expedient and
merciful to accept the terms offered by
Grant. Negotiations had been pending. or
at least notes leading up to the surrender
had been passing between the Union and
Confederate chieftains for two days, Grant
when at Farmville having opened COM
munication with Lee. The surrender Of the
the surrender Of the Confederate States
south were in the field. but their power
of resistance had become nearly negligible.
Appomattox today is a ruinous hamlet.
A few houses are standing. The court
building was destroyed by fire about If
teen years ago and the county seat was
removed to q point three miles away on
the line Of the railroad between Farm
| Vile and Lynchhurg.
he of oY IN icI,
Grant and his staff met Lee and his aid
or military secretary. Col. Marshall, and
where the articles of surrender were
drafted and signed, Is, or was a few
months ago. in ruins.
1t was torn down for removal to and
reconstruction at one Of the worlds fairs,
but the venture failed and the lumber OF
the house was allowed to lie heaped in
a corner of the garden. 1t Is said that
patriotic society has in hand the matter
of the restoration of this house.
The apple-tree legend of Appomattox is
persistent. 1t crops up often. 1t never
had more than a thin foundation. Grant
and Lee never met under an apple tree.
They never met at Appomattox but once.
and that was in Wilmer McLean's parlor.
Col. Babcock of Grants staff, bearing a
letter from Grant agreeing TO meet Lee,
found Lee reclining on blanket by the
roadside in an apple orchard near the
village of Appomattox. Under an apple
tree" has an appealing, poetic sound, but
apple trees in early April in that part of
Virginia are usually bare of leaf and bios
som, and at that season no protection
from the sun is needed. But it was q
pretty myth and caught the popular
fancy.
Much of the land around Appomattox Is
upgrown in pines. and it is particularly
thick and dark piece of pine land where
stands the North Carolina monument, the
inscription on which-"North Carolina,
First at Bethel, Farthest to the Front at
Gettysburg and Chickamauga, Last at
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS stoned such a heated
historical dispute.

The Kansas City Journal is curious
about next years elections:
1T Will be interesting and somewhat
important. too. to see whether these
twenty-three democratic boilers are in
dorsed by their constituents for re-elec-
tion. for in that event the breach In the
party will become permanent, and it is
likely that MIR. Bryan will find himself
shorn of support except by the remnants
of the populist party in the western states,
which. first put him forward for the presi-
dency and of which he has always been
a more loyal exponent than of the genuine
democracy
Be not deceived. No breach in the
democratic party will result from the
Z. votes for protection now being cast In the
House by members of that party. They
are obeying an injunction as old as the
hills. Care for your own. He who fails
or refuses to do so is worse than a
heather.
There is nothing new in what is now
taking place. The Louisiana democrats
have always favored. even demanded. the
protection of sugar. South Carolina DEM
ocrats have taken like position as re-
spects rice. Ever since Tennessee and
Alabama learned the value of their coal
and iron deposits they have been leaning

Mr.. Cookers Announcement.

Richard Croker announces that here
after he will spend at least half of every
Year in America. He does not specify
which half. The Importance of the an
nouncement depends somewhat upon that.
If the time IN America includes the late
summer and the whole of the fall when
nominations for Office are under consid-
Grafton and political campaigns are In
progress, we shall see Mr.. Croker again
an active quantity in politics. 1t will not
matter whether me pitches his tent In
Florida or New York. In no country has
distance been so completely annihilated
as in this. Tammany can be as easily
advised and directed from Palm Beach,
or lower California, or from Pixies Peak.
as from 14th street in Greater New York.
Swift railway trains are constantly run
ming. and the telegraph ticks twenty-four
out of the twenty-four hours.
Mr.. Croker, it is true, says he is out of
politics. He has had his day. A veteran
needs. and should have, rest. At sixty
five he feels like taking his rest, and OBJ
serving younger men play the game. A
mistake too often made in America is In
holding on too long. Neither the money
maker nor the political leader should de-
vote his declining years to his favor
lite pursuit. That is the time to enjoy the
fruits of early successes
But there are cases where the ruling
passion is strong in age. The veteran
sometimes Is as keen on the scent as the
novice. He finds it impossible to let go.
Rest, to him, means rust, and he decides
to wear out. And then there are other
cases where the veteran. even with the
strongest inclination. is not permitted to
followers still following-stilI looking to
him for advice and other assistance. His
talk about retiring makes them uneasy
and unhappy. They smile it away, or
earnestly protest. They still need him,
and he must continue to serve. He is not
asked TO do a young mans part. but only
keep an eye on the field, and give the
young men their orders.
To man who knows nothing but poll
tics, whose associates are politicians. and
whose interest in politics is undated,
such an appeal has power. And such a
man is Mr.. Croker. He has been in poll
ties ever since he attained the voting
age, and for at least a third of the time
leader. Tammany under his direction
won a number of contests, and cut some
thing of a figure at national conven-
tons 1t Is to be doubted if he has been
altogether a happy man In what he has
called private life. Successes on the turf
have not given him the pleasure that
successes in politics did-or the profit.
1t is altogether likely, therefore, that
NJ. Croker in America again means Mr..
Croker in politics again. His old follow
ers are still faithful, and have claims
upon him which he will not find it easy
TO deny. And never before has Mr..
Cookers party, either in New York or
the nation, stood more in need of a
lift from all of its old stagers.
