Mason and Dixon’s Line.
A bill has been introduced in the Ma¬

ment of the boundary line between Ma¬
ryland and Pennsylvania, commonly
called Mason and Dixon’s Line. The
bill which appropriates $5,000 requests
the superintendent of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey to provide
for the accurate re-establishment of the
line and to re-mark the same with mon¬
uments. When the line was originally
run in 1767 by two English astronomers,
Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, it
cost more than $170,000. After years of
bad feeling and bloodshed over the
boundary and fruitless effort to settle it
in London, Penn and Lord Baltimore

bearing M. and P. on the sides facing
each state. Some few of these old mile¬
stones In are standing but many are gone.

as she desired to do, the north would
have lost her richest taxing district—the
tariff-protected best patron of her establishments. manufacturing and
The
south would have opened free trade
with Europe and this would have tended
to paralyze if not pauperize the great
manufacturing industries of the north
and especially of New England. Such
a loss was more than they were willing
to bear, hence the war of subjugation.
“Mr. Lincoln disclaimed that the war
was to free the slaves but to save the
union. To save the union for what pur¬
pose? The one I have mentioned—
namely, to preserve and augment the
commercial interests of the north.
“I have deemed it appropriate to say
thus much (though it is little of what
could be said) in vindication of the
cause for which we fought and our com¬
rades died from the charge of treason
and rebellion that we hear and read
from day to day. If the charge were
not constantly uttered and

Dr. King’s New Discovery for consump¬

life a burden. All other remedies and
doctors could give her no help, but she

have thought republished, I should not
it expedient to make any
vindication of this solemn and sacred
occasion. We were and are no more
traitors and rebels than George Wash¬
ington and his contemporaries. If they
had failed they too would have been
called rebels and traitors; but as they
succeeded they have been honored and
exalted as heroes and patriots. This is
the difference between the accidents of
success and failure. * * * And thus
we see that the merit of a cause is not
to be judged by its success or failure.
“Finally, let no man, unchallenged,
asperse the memory of our sacred dead,
our fallen comrades, with the charge of
treason aud rebellion. They fell in de¬
fense of the liberty and independence of
their country, consequently were heroes
and patriots. But let their history in
granite, so fittingly summarized in the
mottoes on this monument, vindicate
their memory, pronounce their eulogy
and perpetuate their example. Peace
to their spirits! Honor to their ashes!”
Question Answered.
Yes, August Flower still has the larg¬
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers’ and grand¬
mothers never thought of using any¬
thing else for Indigestion or Biliousness.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervons Prostra¬
tion or Heart Failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the system
and stop fermentation of undigested
food, regulate the action of the system,
aud that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only r eed a few doses of
Green’s August flower, in liquid form,
to r!:e you satisfied there is nothing se¬
rious the matter with you. Sample bot¬

j I THE SOUTH; THE NORTH.
Gen. Gordon in Defense of the Heroes
of the Lost Cause.
In his dedication of the Confederate
John monument at Franklin, Tenn., General
B. Gordod—whose frequent
speeches iu the last few years attesting
his loyalty to the nation will acquit, him
of any present purpose not to accept the
results of the war—made an eloquent
defense of the south and its cause, say*
mg:
“On tie half of every surviving soldier
of the battle and in the name of every
sister whose brother and every widow
whose husband died on this field and in
behalf of the Confederate soldiers every¬
where I want to thank these noble, true
and patriotic and generous southern wo¬
men and all other contributors, who,
after so many years of effort, have at
last completed this enduring testimonial
to the prowess and patrionism, to the
valor and virtue of the martyred heroes
who perished here. We can never do
adequate honor to their names and
memories. They died as it became men
to die— in defense of the laws, constitu¬
tion and independence of their country.
Be it said to their glory that they never
engaged in a cruel, criminal and com¬
mercial war of aggression, but strictly
in a war of defense. * * * We
simply withdrew from voluntary anion
of sovereign states in the same solemn,
which dignified and peaceable manner in
we entered that union. This
was not done, however, until the terms
of that union had been repeatedly vio¬
lated aud the constitution of the country
and the decisions of our highest courts
iiad been denounced and disregarded by
the people of the north. The compact
of union had been broken by the north¬
ern states aud the southern states wore
no longer bound thereby.
“So the act of the states withdrawing
therefrom was not an act of treason and
rebellion as charged. Besides, the
states were sovereign and' the units of
power, New York, Rhode Island aud
Virginia expressly deserved the right,
in their acts ratifying the federal con¬
stitution to withdraw from the union
whenever the interests and happiness of
their people required it. And a recip¬
rocity of principles should surely admit
the right of every other state to with¬
draw whenever the interest aud liappi
ness of its people demanded it, especial¬
ly when there was no provision in the
constitution disallowing the right to se
cede. Nor was there any provision to
.
coerce a state should it secede. This
Livingston, was emphatically denied by Hamilton,
Madison and others who
took a leading part in the - formation of
the constitution.
“No, we did not want war and we did
not let inaugurate it. All we asked was to
be alone. But the north, which had
become more populous and powerful
than live south determined to preserve
her commercial interests, hence the war.
If the people of the north had believed
that they could have been happier and
richer without the south than with her
what rational ground would they then
have had to expend six billions of money
and sacrifice a half million lives to
keep the south in the union? If the
south had been allowed to in
