are both Presbyterians.
Of somewhat more than 5,000
mi!e« of railroad bnilt in this coun¬

built 2,148 miles, or nearly half.
That looks well f or the aouth. And
it is only one branch of industry in
which she Mas mr.de a mo,a rapid
stride than other nectienc.
Every one who offers for office
should feel proud, especially proud
of his home support. There is
such a thing as men standing up
bravely if it does lead down to de¬
feat. It often occurs that the great¬
est men as well as greatest meas¬
ures are left short of victory.
The country for gome time hai
been all astir over the question aa
to the best method of disposing of
the iurplus. After a few years of
vapid republican rale'the question
will assume a diCVeit shape and
run alter this fashion: whaihi the
best method of ra sing a snrpluif
