But even if the Union had bee - dissolved, through a failure of the North to effectively assert Its con ' structlon of constitutional powers, we should itlll have had a great Republic north of the Southern Confederacy, nhd it Is not Improbable that under such circumstance* events would havu so shaped themselves ihat slavery would have become Impossible In the newly created federation of the South, nnd that there would have been two r'■publics subsisting nnd perhaps pros- K ring vrh*re we have one; in other words, while the slave Issue might have rent the Union in twain, it could not have destroyed, for at least the larger pert of it, those principles snd t radices upon which our government was founded." This utterance, which Is quite re- markabls considering Its source. Is tol- lawed toy a very serious discussion of a new danger that Is "more to he dreaded because of Its Insidious char acter and general pervasiveness." This new peril Is the aggrandisement of Individual and corporate wealth to •a degree unprecedented in this or any other country. "The power In this country possessed by centralised wealth, In finance. In manufacture. In commerce, In politics and In society, if not a dominating force. Is fast up- PTouching such a condition. Another r» year# of unimpeded development un.l the Industrie* -using that word In • it* broi.p t «, use—and with these the polltl* *»1 «'orurol of the country, will j .fa small Trrottp of IndlvMu.n'.* who, when they agree rimona th'-mselvee as self-interest will compel them to—will dictate.the policies of state and national govern- ments and the methods and develop- 1 <* nts of practically all Industrial en terprise. The United States of Am erica would continue to he a republic In name. Just ns the republic of Rome maintained Its name for centuries af ter every vestige of free government had been squeesed out of It by a long auccesston of Imperial rulers." As If this were not strong enough, the Herald goes on. ‘‘citing three kinds * f > , . ' named by the president In hti message aa necessary to be shun ned: "The greatest evils' that confront this country are those which are rep- . r **5»*nt r 'l by potent forces controlled I i v < >>mmandjng personnlltlei those who will fall down nnd worship t •!•••*• ire offered the kingdoms of tha , «irth and all that they contain; ; those who have leadership and power nnd who oppose these forces, defeat > and discredit are threatened. And yet, unless In some 'way this battle against concentrated wealth can be ftnight and won.’ the future of our na tton ta dark Indeed- The peace of In Justice' would consist In making frlenda with those represents mammon of unrighteousness; 1 - ace of tyrannous terror* would not daring to strike at these great and growing evils; The peace of craven weakness' would be In tolerating thee* constantly augmenting abuses because one feared that be did not possess the requisite strength to combat them aril foresaw greater comfort In easy t Oration." The dangers to be feared from this •• concentration of wealth may or may not be as great as the Herald believes. However that may be, the fear of such concentration of power la real widespread. The faster tt grows tha more tnslstent will be the demand for government Interference. When organa of conservative public opinion begin to speak In this manner, and when the president of the Unit* States himself begins to talk of gov eminent control of great corporate it is suggested to tha mind of tha re flecting observer that we are preaching the parting of the ways be tween the old, e!mp«e Jeffersonian plan i t s> v« rnmant, and a hew, complex t OC paternalistic social tom remedy may be far to seek. It l scarcely possible to turn back. But we can at least atop and look about us. THE C08T OF IT ALLI We have no doubt but that thous ands of little ones, practically all of the chtldren In this community, snd throughout the country, were made happy by the Christmas gifts and the good this that came their way, and for which we may well be thankful; but think of the cost of It all! Think of the homicides, the blood, the misery that this Christmas has brought! Look over our news columns yester day and today! The vicious were rampant. The forces of evil seem to have been ar rayed. as It were, against the Joyous ness of the Innocent. More and more, It would seem, that the day originally set apart as a religious festival Is desecrated, and made an occasion of criminal orgies. The popping of the cannon crackers conceals the crack of the pistol. The license to make a noise clonks the report which hurls deadly missile. The time will come when society will have to protect It self by suppressing the let to burn powder on Christmas holidays, If not to take some more radlcnl step. The sabbath day Itself was not free from the carnival of noise and crime. Christmas needs to bo reformed. Mr. Bryan probably wonders why the routed Democracy of the nation nes not apply to him for comfort and supply of adhesive plaster. T. Roosevelt doesn't propose to let Atlanta outdo him, so he has started a freight rate war of his own. Nan Patterson's hopes were larger than the morbid sentimentalism of a part of her Jurors.

APPRECIATIVE COMMENT, Rome fttiitlfitlcs of Industrial prog ress In the Southern states put to gether by Mr. A. B. Farquahar. a man ufacturer of York, Pa., ore agreeably spiced with appreciative comment upon distinctive Southern traits which, according to this observer, havo not been sacrificed to the demands of an Industrial revolution. In other words, civic and domestto virtue have sur vived the absorbing chase of the dol lar which Is so marked a feature of latter-day Southern life. "It ,Is Impossible," says Mr. Farqua har, na quoted In the Manufacturers' Record, "to become acquainted with the Southern people without learning to sympathise with their attachment to high social Ideas, their family loy alty, their cordial hospitality, the rev erence they accord to the 'grand old name of gentleman* and to *honor that feels every stain like a wound.' and more especially their chivalrous court esy toward the ‘better hair of man kind. If the South has bad much to lenrn from the Nort'i In business methods, In mechanic *! • outrlvsnee, In wstchlng the market** i nd In all the things that make for worldly success Is everywhere ndm'tted—it may no less fairly be admitted that there hne always been something Important to be learned on this side of the Mason and Dixon line. What Is needed on both sides Is fuller knowledge; that we "shall know, even as we are known.'" Kven the old-fashioned Southerner who scorns the chase of the dollar le prepared by such comments to receive with Interest and with favor the sta tistics of Industrial achievement that go with them. Kven the conservat've old-timer will listen with a certain en thusiasm to the statement that the South*e / agricultural products, for ex ample. were this year worth about •1,700.000.000. against $771,000,000 In 1170. Manufactures have made a like stride forward, the total value reported by the census of 1000 being ll.BtO.OOO,- 000. against $478,000,000 In 1110. The grand total of products, Including products of mines, quarries and for ests. Mr. Fsrquahsr estimates at aver $4,000,000,000, or threa times aa much In 1$$0, though the population haa Increased but 60 per cent.

William Evans, formerly protector !

Images That Stand For thu Buddhist Idea of Reincarnation. Francis L. Nldhole in his journey through the Chinese provinces of Shensi saw a temple where stone ani mals were worshiped. He says: 'In rows of heavily barred brick cages are stone Images of animals. They are all life size and are remarkably well executed. Among them are elephants, tigers and monkeys, whose sculptors must have necured their models a long distance from Shensi, where the origi nals are not found. The stone ani mals stand for the Buddhist Idea of reincarnation. They axe worshipped as sacred r.nd are supposed, in a vague way, to be endowed with life. It Is to prevent them from escaping and run ning away from their worshipers that the cages have wooden bars In front of them. Between the two temples was a pond, where fish were fonged or set at liberty. In its workings the sys tem of fonging animals has very much the effect of a humane society on the western side of the world. On the theory tnat any of the brute creation may be the dwelling place of the soul of a former human being, lame and sick nr I mala become the care of the priests. In some of the larger tem ples special provision Is made for car ing for sick cats and dogs. To long an arJmal of any kind la considered an art of supreme virtue. To obtain good luck a pious Chinaman will some- timen puchase a live Ash and have a priest fong It. This Is done by placing It In the pond reserved for the purpose near the temple."

The Plays That Please American While the American audience pre fers plays of sent'menal Interest, the English audience Is more ready to ac cept plays of conversational interest. The Frenchman wants Intrigue, and is willing to accept dramatic literature. The German la fond of • stories of strong ethical Import, without refer ence to what we want In this country —action, movement and life. It Is a fact that In offering a play to an American audience, which haa more cosmopolitant taste than any audience In the world, the manager who vrants to succeed, not only art istically, but financially, must first consider his galleries, for If he can please the galleries and upper circles —which, after all. Is the heart of the public—he Is very likely to satisfy the expensive patron down stairs. If his plays appeal to the select few—the "problem" plays from Norway, France, Denmark, Germany, where you will— he Is appealing to but a portion of the public and not tc the approval of the mutable many. You have got to reach the large middle class of theatre goers. From this class the Interest radiates to aii classes. The same your Patronage Solicited general argument Is true of the purely ” literary plays, like those of Bernard Shaw or the poetic writers. They are, as a matter of fact, too limited In number to meet more than literary Interest. They do not reach the out lying population. Nevertheless, plays of this class, if they have dramatic quality, would succeed despite the fact that they are beautifully written —not because they are.—Daniel Froh- man, In Harper's Weekly.

MmamBmMaana Th, Now Senator Who Never 8peaks. From Leslie's Monthly Magnilne. During hl» three campaigns for tho Kqyernorahtp, Senator Crane did not irake a political speech nor write a political document. Hla first Inaugural address was the shortest ever penned In Mossachusette—at any rate In re cent yenre—nnd. like succeeding ones. absolutely devoid of rhetoric or nny attempt at literary qunllty, except utmost simplicity and directness of statement. It was a business man's straightforward presentation of tho financial condition of the state, which the new governor conceived to be such os to call loudly for retrench ment, and a call for certain other long needed reforms. No greater testimony to the man's power of achieving re- suits could be cited than the fact that every one of these and subsequent recommendations were placed upon tho statute book, though It was In evitable that state boards ond depart ments should protest when they saw themselves stripped of time-honored prerogatives. None but a man of mar velous tact and persuasiveness In tha winning of other men to hls sldo could have accomplishes these things. Plain Cooking.
