Political Destiny of
Spanish Repulhic.
What will lie the ultimate destiny|
of Ihe republics nt Central and South
Amerlra politically? The question oc
curs In conjunct lon wlih the preas re
port that Senator Raynor, of Maryland,
proposes lo Introduce a resolution In
the senate which will have for Its ob
ject a clear definition of the Monroe
doctrine and a demand that the doc
trine as accepted bo industriously pur
sued by Ibe government of the United
Stales. The conditions which now ob
tain In those republics are so well
known throughout the world thti no
spare need be devoted to their explana
tion. The general deduction lias long
since been made that stable govern
ment Is as rare as la Its opposite here
In Ibis country. Not only Americans
are Impressed with this general sea
lure of conditions, but Europeans as
well. Indeed among the latter there
Is a logical Isaur to the Monroe doc
trine (totaled nut which Would give
heart and hope to the moat ultra
among our own expansionists. This
Issue Is that In the Interests of good
order und civilization as well as of
cummwee and development It Is In
evitable that the government si Wash
ington. lu view of the Monroe doc
trine, most in lime establish tin su
thorlty oyer the whole family of re
publics. The alternative to this propo
ait lon Is the abandonment of that ven
erable policy of seventy-five year* and
prepnratlon for what will enstte the
forceful seizure of the republics liy
Kuropenn powers whose patience Is
tried to the limit.
There in certainly no present dlspo
elf ion of public opinion It) this conn
try to avsll Itself of the burdens and
responsibilities that would lie thrust
U|sin this government by hoisting the
flan southward. But the present dis
position may change even within ns
brief a space of time ns one year
ft is a problem of the future whose
elements are laid In the present.
Those elements are now before ns.
They are vital. They are frsuKht with
momentous consequences. The only
power that can dispel (hem and thus
remove their formation lulu at) aggra
vated situation which will demand In
slant action Is that the residents of
t hose republics undergo a radical
change of political conduct and this
the cltisens of the t'nlted States hope
they will do.

Senator Balley't Muowal.
•'I have not acquired the art of be
ing agreeable under all circum
stances." That la the avows! of Sen
ator Bailey, and urged by him as an
Insuperable objection to his own quali
fication for the senate leadership of
hla party. Henator Bailey has many
merits. In addition to his demon
strated ability he has still the golden
merit of south. comparatively. As a
lawyer discussing the profundities of
the relationship between legislative
proposal and supposed constitutional
limit and fixedness he ranks high In
that body of able lawyers l n debate
he is a veritable Rupert, quick In per
ception and swift In setting the van
tage pointA It Is doubtful, though, If
his great ability could have a nicer
adjustment than the one now given
by' himself, a modest diffidence and
frauk acknowledgement of |>crsonal
defect.
it requires a great man In the In
teliectual order to penetrate luio the
schemes that underlie a vast deal of
legislative .effort, and a courageous
one to e*poae them. But it requires
a colossal matt. In the atmosphere of
public life, to thus confess his own
weakness, particularly as the confes
sion brings a penalty lu the form of
disqualification for a position other
wise honorably gained.

AT etit Politics Demanded.
Amongst the developments of the
year now gone Iflto hlatory there la
one to be noted Ihst Is deserving of
more than n passing glance, A pn
litlcal change of sentiment hits been
clearly shown and the hitherto set
tlona of the country conspicuous for
centralisation and for stales rights
respectively have completely changed
ground. A casual observer passing
through the south cannot fall to per
celv«< that a strong aentlmeni in favor
of federalism Hsm taken possession of
mindx that formerly gave a rigid ad
lieslon to the slate as the final arbiter.
The causes of this transformation are
to he found In Ibe commercial condi
tions both of a favorable and of a
restrictive nature The New England
states, on the contrary, have become
clamorous for state recognition. The
causes which Induced the turn of po
litlcal sentiment In the south have
operated on a diametrically opposite
line In the eastern section of the
country. There la a local demand for
a reconstruction of the tariff laws and
since there Is no hope of being able
lo overcome the Immobility of the
standpatters a sentiment in favor of
local rule for local need Is the Issue.
Apart from thr polities involved this
new situation is clearly indicative of
a wise progress In popular education
It dcmonalrnies conclusively that per
sonal Interest Is entering largely Into
the problem, and that the obfuscations
of prejudice, narrow and sectional, are
disappearing with a rapidity that
would delight the contemplation of a
philosopher. More than this it evinces.
In a marked degree, menial advance
ment. Connoting ns It doe* a close
study of conditions and accurate rea
soning on the data obtained the gutn
will be altogether on the side of en
lightenment and progress.

a generation ago even cannot hold the

are dead. New life has sprung up

Labor Leaden and the Cabinet.
The Wall Street Journal argues
against the appointment of a recog
nixed labor lender to the |>»Kitlnn of
secretary of commerce nnd labor.
The precedent lias been established
|by the present British cabinet In the
appointment of John Burns to a simi
lar place. The solo argument ad
dueed Is that this country does not
need a partisan either of labor or of
capital to sit at the cabinet table in
advocacy of their respective Interests.
The argument is conclusive, but does
ill cover the fscl?
It is well known to'everybody that
cabinet officers have been selected
!by reason of their acceptability to
certain Interests. Thus, to go back
no further, the appointment of Philan
der <\ Knox, of Pennsylvania, to the
attorney generalship was made at the
Inslstenee of the corporations. Janies
J. Hill declared that Mr, Knox dem
onstrated his competency for the posi
tion hv his ability to collect a fee of
>600,000 from the t\ 8. Steel corpora
tlon for drawing up Its charter—a
document, by the bye. which. In legal
circles, is deemed unassailable. The
great financial Interests of Wall
street have always been recognised
in the appointment of a secretary of
the treasury nnd these Interests have
evinced their paternal solicitude by
providing glided berths for their pro
teges after government service was
terminated.
There Is no warrant to say that a
man of the calibre of John Mitchell,
for instance, would not give display
to the best statesmanship In cabinet
position. His sympathies with the
laboring men do not overpower his
concepllons as to the rights and func
tions of capital. Indeed, the labor
leaders of (his country at the present
day are men conspicuous for breadth
of view and orderly conduct. Viul
these constitute the baste fitness for
public administration

Two Classes.
There are two kinds of people
On earth today,
Juat Iwo kinds of people.
No more, 1 say.
Not the sinner and saiut.
For 'tls well understood,
The good are half bad
And the bad half good.
Not the rich and the poor.
For to count a man's wealth
Yon must first know the state
Of his conscience and health.
Nol the humble and proud.
For In life’s little span.
Who puls on vain nirs
Is not counted a man.
Not the happy and sail.
For Ihe swlfi flying years
ltrlng each man his laughter
And each man his tears.
No. the two Kinds of people
On earth I mean.
Are the people who lift
And tin- people who lean.
Wherever you go you will find
The world’s masses
Are always divided
In jusl these Iwo classes.
And. oddly enough, you will find,
Too. I ween.
There is only one lifter
To twenty who lean.
In which class are you?
Are you easing the load
Of overtaxed lifters
Who 101 l down the mail?
Or are you a leaner
Who lets others hear
Your portion of labor
And worry and care?

a result of Its sweeping application.
President Baer, of the Readlug, bought
SIOO worth of mileage ticket a for the
use of his five married daughters.
Mrs. Robert Downs, a daughter of
J. It. Wood, passenger traffic manager
of the I'euns.vlvanla. paid her fare Into
the city from Oeorgetowu. When
this circumstance v.as brought to Mr.
Wood’s attention, he said:
"I have no doubt It Is true. Both tuy
married daughters have paid their
fare, and will continue to do so."
A brother of one of the Pennsyl

paid $99.75 for quarterly ticket* for

The Reading and the Pennsylvania,
while making no other exceptions,
have compiled with the New Jersey
law- In relation to Issuing free trans

laugh at the orders against free trans
port at lon. They are Mr*, tleorge B.
Roberta, widow of a former president,
and Miss Anne Thomson, of Mercer,
daughter of another former president
of the Pennsylvania, who have life
passes of silver which entitle them to
travel on all trains aud at all times
over the Pennsylvania.
Their use as well as the granting of
them is defended by the legal depart
ment on the ground that they were
given when the company operated un
der an old charier and before the
state constitution of 1874 had been ac
cepted. Nothing is said, however. In
this connection shout the provisions
of the interstate and Elkins laws which
have been cited as requiring the aboli
tion of all free transportation

A gentleman of large acquaintance
with mining aud smelting affairs is
responsible for the statement that
there an- employed In reduction works

at salaries ranging from S2OO to SS(H»

THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
ON THE DEEP
Twenty years ago It was assumed that
the rule-of-thumb furnace man was
inpre valuable than the trained sclen
ts). and it whs usual to laugh at the
young graduate as theoretical and vis
ionary. All this Is changed. The
owner of the large smelting establish
ment recently wrote to the Inland
Stanford University: "Send tne a man
who knows the business from the top
! down. I have plenty who have learned
i It from the bottom up and J want one
j of ihe other kind."
Smelting a delicate chemical reac
tion carried out on a colossal scale
i which must he watched and tested
every day. "In the allver-lead busi
ness a. very slight change iti the con
stitution of the ore may result In put
ting a thousand dollars a day over
the dump and no one the wiser.” said
another mine manager. No one hut an
expert chemist can detect these losses
and suggest than do food products, and
the high priced experts referred to
save from five to ten times their salar
les ever year. The useful metals con
stitute wealth no less than do the food
products, and the high wages that
are (mid lo scientific experts indicate
a great saving In the annual produc
tion of wealth. No man is paid SSOO
a month unless a large profit results
from his zadvicc or a large loss re i
suits from Ihe absence of his counsel. |
In recognl/.lug -the value of experts we
are much in the condition of Germany,
only Germany discovered It about fif
teen years before we did aud thereby
gained a great advantage over Eng
land. England, however, is correcting
her mistake. Scientific appliances
have added greatly to the production
of wealth in South Africa, but It is
in our West that the effect is most
marked. It Is fortunate, too, that
scientific guidance by increasing the
efficiency of labor increases wages,
though not so much as it adds to the
profits of capital.

a coast defense battery to be known
as the "Ultima.' It would be a float

pierce it. Mr. Stokes describes it as
"a modification of Ericsson's Monitor.”
It would have a displacement of 30-
