When General Jackson -went to the de fense of New Orleans, he found the town's -wealth and aristocracy against him. They liked Kings and despised Republics. A visiting Frenchman of title murmured" against General Jackson, and the soldier marched him into exile, with two bayo nets at his back. An American aristocrat said that this was an outrage, and4 the soldier, locked him up. . An aristocratic Judge issued a writ of habeas corpus, and the soldier locked up the Judge. Inter anna silent leges. Then the soldier pro ceeded to beat Pakenham, and to furnish England with the worst drubbing of her career. General Jackson, when th.e law ful, conventional road no longer ran in a right direction, pushed down a panel of fence and went cross lots. Thus he in vaded Florida, took Pensacola and hanged Ambrlster and Arbuthnot, while Europe shrieked over violated Spanish boundaries and the insult to xed tape. Of similar feather Is Mr. Roosevelt's policy concerning the Panama Canal. He discovers that Germany, France, Russia, England and the American transcontin ental railways are against him. The tem perate zone In every age has bribed the torrid zone, and he finds himself opposed by the sly gold of his foes. When Alex ander drew his sword and cut the Gordlan knot, It wasn't temper, but diplomacy. So it was with Mr. Roosevelt. Through double lines of lies, in the face of bribes. In defiance ,of red tapet ha forced the Panama Canal to victory, as on another day General Jackson saved New Orleans, and on still another ended Creek outrages along the Georgia border. General Jackson sent his fleet into the Mediterranean, and at the muzzle of his guns collected from France $7,500,000 that had been dawdled over and deferred by every President since' the days of Jeffer son. Mr. Roosevelt sends his fleet into the Mediterranean and rescues from Moorish robbers an American who else lmlsht have perished at their, kan&j, Was General Jackson dangerous because he compelled justice at the tardy, shifty fin gers of France? Is Mr. Roosevelt danger ous when he forces the release of an American, unlawfully in alien clutch as prisoner? Such things shock the stock market, but do they shock humanity? They excite the hatred of Wall street, but should they Invoke the anger of a reput able Americanism? Last Winter, while in talk with Mr. Rooseveltj, I asked .who, in his estimation. among the Presidents, was the greatest American. "Lincoln," said he; then, with a sort of fervor, he added: "Jackson was next. "He was my kind of Democrat," con tinued Mr. Roosevelt. "What would have been Jackson's course In this Panama business? Would he force the Issue and cut the canal?'k "He would have It cut and corded up before this day next year," said I. "Precisely!" and Mr. Roosevelt's hand smote the table with such affirmative vig or that it spread visible alarm among the paper-weights. Repartee. "Age before beauty," said Fal. etaff. as he attempted to enter before the Prince. "No! Grace before meat." said the. Prince gently, as he pushed him from his path. Life.
