Fact has again I Eon the genius of fiction one better, lit baa come to light through the strajtum of southern manners and customs, laid bare by the Carmack trial, that the use of the title "major" has i become a term of opprobrium and a Sleadly Insult. So deadly In fact that t la used aa evidence in a trial for murder to show that deadly Insult has feesn offered. 8aya the dispatch from the seat of iColonels (large C, pleaBe) : "When he, Carmack, wrote to Col. I

(Cooper as a friend, he called him A- Colonel." When he wrote the vale-

11 Mctory editorial in the American, he

wants to insult and degrade him he calls him "Major." It was a gratuitous Insult. : Ha usedV Col. Conner's name a rtiTk' iima In thla oriftrtrlnl ntlemn 'Four times In black type. The colonel wit angry. He had a right to be. His family were ashamed, his friends annoyed, his name was bandied over ths state. He went wild with anger lover the Insults." I How many a good Colonel dead and turned to dust will turn in his grave at the awful thought that he may inadvertently be called 'major! The f "lose majestie" of the continental countries has nothing but a mild parallel, offer. No longer will the Czar ,Tt Rnssia have anything on the cavallers of the South in the matter of Idignity. I It Is to be hoped that the gentleman .who makes the paragraphs for instruc tion of foreign travellers In American parts for Baedeker's handbook will come forward in a double starred an nouncement to the effect that every Southern gentleman must be addressed by one title Colonel. Otherwise international complications may ensue. 'This la all the more Important In the atate of Kentucky since every xour years aaaa a nunarea or so colonels to the list of the nobility of the Blue Grass state. Every man appointed on the staff of the governor by that act Immediately receives the I title of not Major, if you please but jthat most guarded ot titles in the (s southland Colonel. You can readily ((ee that the supply of ordinary citiI irons is rapidly diminishing and like rjthe blaon, the dodo bird and the real ) mint Julep, is rapidly becoming ez,tinct. Wo are not informed whether Iths tltlo of colonel is hereditary or not but in all probability at the next ses sions of the legislatures ot Tennessee mad Kentucky the inalienable rights of the Colonel will be established for vr so that the race may not perish from the earth but flourish as the green mint. . r There is another noint in the rvuin. fer-Carmack trial of the same date ; which should not be overlooked by the public. - It is one refreshing exhibit It that the Colonels and Generals of i the South suffer the same annoyances p : that do their brothers of the -north.

The result Is left to the imagination of the reader it Is a thought too hor rible to contemplate. DOWN IN NICARAGUA. : It may not deeply distress the citizens of Indiana to learn that we have broken off diplomatic relations with our neighbor Nicaragua but such is the case. Nominally this country is interested in the settlement of a debt. But those who have followed the course of events will be apt to think that it is simply another link in the tide of nations which is gradually making this country the unwilling guardian of the South American countries. Whether we want them or not there seems to be no other way out of it. By virtue of our interests in the isthmus we are placed in a very different position than we were before, like it as little as we may. True, in those parts, revolutions and similar disturbances are the main source of amusement They might almost be called the national sport but the question is going to come up sooner or later, whether we can afford with our interests in the Central American countries to let them to do as they please in the small matter of their vaudeville revolutions. Some one has to sit on the lid. It is hardly consistent with the dignity or the policy of the United States to allow small countries, even though they bear the name of republics, to sit and wiggle some of their fingers on the dexter hand at the tip of the nose, in our direction. This has happened in the case of Venezuela for some period and now comes Nicaragua. It is merely a question of time. It is to be pointed out that the treaty bstween these countries that they will love one another like good little children, has not been a success up to date. That is a source of the present trouble. At the agreement of the Central American Peace Conference signed in 1907 at Washington, the terms "neutrality and solidarity"' were bandied around and each republic promised not to participate in the affairs of the others. Then there was deep rejoicing and speech making for a while. If this sort of thing can not keep our South Central American friends within the bounds of peace, obviously it is up to this country to protect our interests down there. Those interests will naturally never be less. That seems to point to an unwelcome time when we shall have to enlarge our sphere of influence in the Panama hat belt.

New Senator's Seizure of the Royal Robes a Victory for The New School Politics Over the Old. A NEW REPUBLICAN ' ORGANIZATION NOW Former Secretary of State, And Loeb, Roosevelt's Old Secretary, Will Divide Up The Patronage. By Sheldon 8. Cline. Washington, March 13. There has recently besn no more striking demontration cf the ne w order of things in American politics than the succession cf EJihu Root to the leadership of the republican party in New York. Exit Piatt; enter Root Had the change come unexpectedly, instead of having forecasted by the trend of events, it would bave been as startling as the dawning of day at midnight. We are often toid that the devil is not as black as he is painted, and it is undoubtedly true that Thomas Collier Piatt is not as undesirable a citizen as the public has been led' to believe, but he was educated int a school of politics vastly different from the one which now has the boards. Piatt was no worse and no better than, the political school of his day, but he belongs to a political generation that is passing from the stage. The old school is still contesting the ground in cities, great and small, and is even dominant in a number of states, but it practically is without influence in national affairs. New Organization. The understanding is that Senator Root and Wm. Loeb. Jr., collector of customs at the port of New York, will have the main say in dispensing federal patronage in New York.. This will mean practically a new republican organization; In the Empire State and Messrs. Root and Loeb, should they work together, will have opportunity to build up a powerful machine a machine, however, of the New Model. It will be interesting to see just what Root and Loeb will do with the organization they are to build. Were they so disposed they undoubtedly could turn it against Taft threo years from now, but the preridsnt rcasd have little apprehensfon on this score. Rcot is understood to be ambitious for the presidency, but he isn't the kind of a politician who would uc Taft's- favor for the purpose of kwifins Taft. Besides, Root may be chief justice of the supreme court long before time for making presidential nominations in 1912. Will Name New Senator; If the new Root-Loeb federal organization proves itself stronger than the Hughes state organization, it undoubtedly will bo able to name the successor cf Senator Chauncey M. De-pew, and also the successor of Gov. Hughes. The idea that Roosevelt will succeed Da- 5 pew is no longer seriously entertained'. Succession to the senotorship does not seem to be any part of the plana of the ex-president, and with, a'i the amfcitious senatorial timber the Empire State contains, the pla is not likely to be forced upon him. The latest man suggested to succeed Hughes is George B. Cortelycu. Mr. Cortelyou is a poor man and announces that he is- going into business in order to make some monsy, but the lure of political life is strong when a man has been in it as Ions as Ccrtelyou has. He stands high in the esteem of Senator Root and it would be no smrrrise if the latter should pick Cortelyou to be his colleague. Nothing so cheap for a good, wholesome, hearty breakfast as Mrs. Austin's pancake flour. At all grocers. Ho Fooled Himself. JL station master who had been taking a short holiday at some distance from hia own station went to catch the last train .homeward and on entering the station found a lady trying to turn the handle of one of the compartments. The station master rushed to ber assistance, opened the door, bundled the passenger in. slammed the door to and then, by force of habit, waved his band to the guard and stood calmly on the platform till the train had steamed out of sight. He had to walk home, and the other station master laughed. London Standard.
