According to the head-line over a tele
gram in a prominent western paper, “Gen.
Butler is in a precarious state." That’s
true. Massachusetts has lately gone demo
cratic twice on the election of governors.
But it is still coosidsred a doubtful state.
Decidedly the most peculiar reason yet
assigned for closing the world’s fair on bun
days is that advanced by the officers of the
Rational Swiue Breeders’ Association. They
complain that visitors would make their
hogs tired. That's pretty rough on the ex
pected class of visitors.
The Rev. A. A. Ellenwood is putting a
good deal of life into his paper, the Tattnall
County Journal. He purposes to give
the people of Tattnall a first-class weekly
pa tier. Mr. Ellenwood is a sterling
democrat, and Tattnall county people are
certain to appreciate his efforts in their be
half.
According to the Washington correspond
ent of the New York Herald Judge Crisp
“hopes to win with Tammany’s aid.’ - As
there is every indication that Judge Crisp
could easily win without any soft of contact
with a political organiiation there is really
no apparent reason why he aiould form any
“entangling alliances” with Tammauy Hall.
Appointing Treasured-elect Morrison as
oashier of the Pennsylvania state treasury
In place of the missing Mr. Livesey ap
pears somewhat remarkable thing for
Treasurer Boyer to do. But it will give the
new treasurer quite an insight into the busi
ness of his future office by the time hts
term begins. That is probably the ohief
object of his appointment. At least it is
pretty safe to assume that he will not run
away within the next six months.
. Zealous churchmen are keeping a very
watchful eye upon the Rev. Dr. Briggs of
alleged heresy fame. When he preachod
•t an uptown New York church
last Sunday evening his audience
was liberally besprinkled with his
clerical brethren who conspicuously paid
close attention to his discourse and took
copious notes of his utterances. Whether
they were merely curious or trying to find
something that could be tortured into heresy
or wished to train for a heresy trial them
selves can only be vaguely conjectured until
we hear from them.
Very peculiar indeed are the ways of
Gotham. Last Tuesday night a bright and
well-dressed little girl only 13 years of age
and the daughter of comparatively prosper
ous and reputable people was found in
Twenty-third street so helplessly drunk as
to be insensible. Within a few blocks of
that plaoe is the publio hall where “the
best people of New York" are said to have
recently held an unusually acrimonious in
dignation meeting to roundly berate the
Louisiana lottery. With so many surprising
objects in plain view it is a trifle singular
that they could discern the actual character
of anything so far away.
Appropriations for deepening harbors on
the gulf and Improving other harbors are
generally admitted to be reasonable and
proper. But the Omaha 13ce thiuks that
“appropriations for dredging creeks and
■cooping the shifting sands out of rivers not
available for commerce are a waste of
money. Money expended for scrapiug Mis
souri river sand bars and deepening the
uncertain channel is simply dumped into the
river to no useful purpose. Funds for Mis
souri river improvements should be used
solely in protecting the property of cities
and citizens fronting upon the stream.”
And the editor adds that “the day when
the Missouri river could be regarded as a
navigable stream necessary to cjinmsroe is
long since passed." Less than one-tenth of the
vast sums of money that have been wasted
in that way would give to Savannah such a
harbor as would render the city one of the
greatest ports of the world. Money de
voted to producing such results is wed
spent.
The Alliance and the Third Party.
The national alliance is not in os good
shape as it was at the Ocala convention.
Then it was united. Now it is divided.
Then it did not favor a third party. Now
it looks as if it would encourage the third
party movement.
As soon as the delegates to the alliance
convention began to assemble at Indianapo
lis it became evident that there was a want
of harmony among them. The third party
delegates were numerous aud aggressive,
and they made it clear that it was their
purpose to sever the relations of the order
with the two old parties and
make it the backbone of the
People’s party if they could possibly do so.
They have suooseded thus far in carrying
out their programme.
Col. Polk has been re-elected pres
ident, and it is believed that he strongly
favors the People’s party. In his annual ad
dress he condemned the two old parties and
clearly indicated his preference for the
People’s party. In re-electing him, there
fore, the order indorsed his views as to the
course the order should pursue with res pect
to politioal parties. Mr. Louks, who has
been chosen vice president, is a member of
the national committee of the People’s
party. If the order did not look
with favor upon that party it would hardly
have made him its second officer. The
leaders of the People’s party express them
selves as entirely satisfied with the election
of CoL Polk and Mr. Louks.
The election of CoL Livingston would
have meant that the order was not yet
ready for independent politioal action, and
might nßver be. He understands the senti
ment of the southern people much better
than either Col. Polk or Mr. Louks, aud he
knowrs that they cannot be induced to leave
the Democratic party in any considerable
numbers. That he is opposed to independ
ent political aotion is shown by his opposi
tion to the resolution offered by Jerry
Simpson, that alliance congressmen be in
structed not to go into the caucus of either
the Democratic or Republican party. Mr.
Simpsin showed clearly that he favors the
People’s party, although when he was
making speeches iu Georgia last summer
one would have inferred from what he said
that he had no desire to lead alliance demo
crats out of the Democratic party. But
even then he was trying to open the way
for the People’s party.
It cab be safely assumed that Col. Polk,
having been elected with the understanding
that independent political action is desired,
will opt>oly favor the People’s party. In
deed, it would not be surprising if he should
pledge the alliance to support that party at
the meeting of its leaders which takes place
at Cincinnati in February.
The refusal of a part of the alliance to
indorse the sub-treasury plan was not unex
pected. Opposition to that plan among
allianoemen in Texas, Mississippi, and, in
faot, in all the states in which the alliance
has much strength, is very great. And it
is certain to grow. The more the sub
treasury plan la discussed the more clearly
do thinking alliancemen see that it is im
practical and dangerous, and would bring
disaster to the farming as well as the in
dustrial interests of the country.
A national convention of alliancemen
opposed to the sub-treasury plau will soon
be held. It will emphasize the fact that
the alliance has split into two factions and
will have a tendency to weaken the or
der. Indeed, the order has not been gain
ing in members recently. The announce
ment at Indianapolis that in quite a number
of states there is great delinquency in the
payment of dues shows, beyond a doubt,
that the order is losing its members.
A Fine Field for Dr. Nelson.
There is no doubt that Dr. Nelson will be
confirmed as bishop of Georgia. There is
no reason why he should not be. In a very
little while, therefore, he will be in charge
of the diocese.
He will be given a very hearty welcome.
The people of bis church will take him to
their homes and their hearts and make him
feel that he is among friends. He can
never forget, of course, those who have
made his life so pleasant where he is now
living, but those to whom he comes will
take care that he does not regret having left
his parish at the north for a wider field of
labor at the south.
And Georgia Is a big missionary fleld in
which there is a vast amount of work for
an Episcopal bishop. There is plenty of
room for building up the Episcopal church.
Except in the larger cities it has compara
tively few members. But there is no reason
why it should not have a great many more.
Nelson is young, strong and
earnfest, and will enter into his
work with a great deal of enthusi
asm. 1 He will naturally be ambitious
to see the church grow, and if he has all
the encouragement and assistance that can
be given him it will grow. He has a splendid
opportunity for doing a great work.
The south is full of the spirit of energy
and enterprise, and by puttiug himself in
harmony with it he can achieve surprising
results in building up his church.
In a Fitchburg police court Judge Charlos
8. Hayden recently sustained an indictment
in the case of the commonwealth against
one Xavier Ponton who was charged with
not having given his child suflloieat school
ing under the demand and definition of the
Massachusetts publib school statute, inci
dental to this question is one which decides
the status of parochial and other private
schools of the state and defines the authority
of school cemmittees in regard to them.
Judge Hayden carefully reviews the law
and the evidence in his decision and finds
that in attending the parochial school the
child did not acquire the branches of learn
ing required by law to be taught in the pub
lic schools. Yet with the exception of about
six weeks’ time the child’s physical or men
tal condition was not such as to render the
required attendance inexpedient or imprac
ticable. Therefore the defendant was foun 1
guilty and ordered to pay to the treasurer
for the use of the public schools of the city
the sum of $lO. There wore three cases and
all were appealed. This is a matter of some
publio importance and wid doubtless be fol
lowed with no little general interest until it
reaches a final settlement.
Personal friends of Gov. Flower are liter
ally swelling with ambition for him. They
are now engaged in vigorously suggesting
him to the Democratic party as “a compro
mise for President.’’ Yet there is not uow
apparent any sort of necessity for the Demo
cratic party to be compromised in that
way.
Alluding to the competition of women for
a device to ornament the main entrance of
a building at the world’s fair a western
newspaper heading says that the “women
submit their designs" for inspection. That
sounds a trifle strauge. Women usually
keep their designs strictly to themselves.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1891.
Not So Bad as Represented.
Tbs epidemic of small-pox at Harris’
Neck, although bad enough, is not quite as
bod Os represented fn oar dispatches from
Atlanta. The entire ooost is not threat
ened with an epidemic of the disease, and
there is no reason why people anywhere on
the coast, except at Harris’ Neck, should be
seriously alarmed. There have been a great
many cases in that locality and there is quite
a large number there yeL Precautions
have been taken, however, to prevent
the spread of the disease, which,
there is every reason to helieve, will
be stamped out by the physicians of the
marine hospital servioe in a little while.
Those atll.cted will be isolated, and such re
strictions will be, if they have not already
been, placed upon communication with the
infected locality, that the danger of carry
ing the disease into new localities will be
almost wholly removed.
It seems there has been small-pox at
Harris’ Neck since August. Only within
the last three weeks, however, has
it attracted any attention. When
the authorities of this city be
came aware of its existenoe there
they took precautions to prevent it from
being brought into this city, and the Morn
ing News warned people to keep away
from the infected section. The warnings
seem to have been effective, because, so far
as known, no cases traceable to Harris’
Neck have boon discovered outside of the
limits of that place.
It is a very difficult matter to stamp out
small-pox in black settlements in the
country. The oolored people there pay no
regard to regulations for checking the
spread of the disease, and in their
homes they give very little attention
to sanitary matters. And, besides, in
isolated districts measures for ohecking the
spread of the disease are not taken as
promptly as they should ba. Indeed, it is
often the case that there is uo one having
authority to enforce obedience to health
regulations.
It U gratifying that tbs marine hospital
service gave its attention to the Harris’
Neck epidemic so promptly after being re
quested to do so. Had nothing been done
with regard to it the chanoes are that the
disease would have gradually spread over a
wide section of country and reached the
towns and cities. The restrictive regula
tions should not be relaxed until every trace
of the disease has disappeared, and the
bouses in which there have been cases of it
should be thoroughly disinfected.
A Blow at Spoilsmen.
About all the big aud little politicians of
the country are kicking against the civil
service reform law. In New York city the
other day there was a meeting of the local
republican politicians to discuss the causes
of the republican defeat in New York in the
recent elections. Some of the ward bosses
said the reason was that many of the places
in the custom house and navy yard ware
filled with democrats. He thought if the
President hod turned all the democrats
out and put republicans in their places the
result of the election might bave been
different.
But the oivil service reform law Is not
going to be repealed. A deoision was ren
dered by the supreme court of the District
of Columbia the other day which was a
severe blow to spoilsmen. It was in the
Newton case. Newton is the man who, in
1888, wrote letters from Virginia to govern
ment clerks soliciting subscriptions to help
elect Mahons governor of Virginia. The
law prohibits the soliciting of subscriptions
from government clerks for political pur
poses and Newton was iudioted. He de
murred to the indictment, and his demurrer,
a day or two ago, was overruled.
There is no doubt about tbs facts, and, as
he must now stand a trial, it is difficult to
see how he can avoid being convicted. If
he should be convicted and severely pun
ished there would be an end of tho practice
of assessing government employes for po
litical purposes. The political atmosphere
would be purer if the practice was stopped.

Rather a curio® story comes from Ohio
to the effect that one Hiram McKnight
argued his own case in court on the question
of the legality of a trial for one offense when
he bad been extradited from New York on
an entirely different charge, and he did it so
cleverly that the supreme court of the state
of Ohio sustained him and ordered his dis
charge. But he was immediately pounced
upoD and locked up on the charge for which
he had originally been extradited. Whether
they tried to convict him or not the Ohio
authorities palpably made a mistake in not
giving him at least a perfunctory trial upon
the charge named in the writ of extradi
tion.
Through the intercession of the Rev. Dr.
Briggs with the Presbyterian oonfession of
faith the souls of Infants and the heathen
are in future to be rescued from the doomed.
But what is to become of those souls that
were consigned to eternal destruction under
the severe operation of the old oreed? That
is a very interesting question to the relatives
of the deceased.

Prosperity Not Due to “ Protection.”
From the St. Lou's Post-Dispatch ( Dem.).
President Harrison is so astounded at the
roaring prosperity of this nation that he re
fuses to believe that It is due to natural causes,
aud refers it to a beneficent providence which
lias the United States in special charge, But in
this crediting our beat fie condition to super
natural causes is not the President guilty of
disloyalty to his party? It is the current im

on account of the McKinley bill.
Some Reasons Why Ships Scoot.
From the Hartford Times (Dem.).
The main reason why faster trips are made
from Europe to New York than from .Yew York
to Europe lies in the fact that the steamers
coming westward can generally obtain and
keep a fuller head of 6team, owing to the
{rreator draft of the furuaces, duo to the preva
ent westerly winds. If these are but moderate
they increase tho draft to s degree which more
than balances whatever hindrance the head
winds might otherwise exert against the speed
of the steamer. Again. nmuy engineers claim
—wo cannot say with what truth- that Welsh
cool gives a bettor result than American coal.

Republic men from marening in any demonstra
tion whore the confederate Hag is carried. Fie,
fie! Toe confederate (lag doesn't uiean much
in this late day, save as a badge of bravery.
It is the red Hag that calls for action, as it was
defiantly carried through the streets of Chicago
last Sunday by rabid anarchists who flaunted
it over the graves of their comrades who were
executed for the Haymarket murder, and who
made incendiary and treasonable speeches in
honor (?) of the anniversary of their legal
death.
Devoted to the Betrousered Damsel.
Miss Emma Yargill, says the Star, is the
> prettiest woman living on Wood street, in old
, Kansas City, Kan. Her ad mirers, most of,whom
work at Armour's, Fowler’s or Dodd’s, arc to
be counted by the score. Miss Emma is full of
1 plucz aud so tasty in her dress, though it be
j simple calico or sateen, as to completely Knock
the shine oil the rest of the girls around, al
though the latter may be attired in more cost y
raiment.
Miss Yarzilrs father is dead, and her mother
recently became an invalid, so th , young ladv,
finding the home treasury slowly draining
down to nothing, resolved to refill it from the
’ fruits of her own industry. Her resolve was
locked up by a decldely sensatiooal plan of
campaign in search of riches. t>he would take a
mans part in the world and she would don
man's clothing and diaw a mans salary.
Miss Yargill came to these conclusions re
cently, and laughingly told one of her young
male friends of her intention It passe 1 off as
a joke The next Monday morning, however,
a handsome and decidedly shapely person in a
new suit of "ducking” passed along West Sixth
street in the direction of Dodd's packing house.
It wag Miss Emma and she was in search of a
job.
Undoubtedly she would have carried out her
determination of applying for work, but for the
fact of running up face to face with the “very
best” one of ail her numerous mae friends
Her cropped hair and male attire did not fool
him a bit. and he just stopped her then and
there with the exclamation:
“Eminai Well, I'll bo durned !”
A conversation followed between the two,
Mis* Emma dwelling particularly upon the fi
nancial despair of the family (pocketbooE, an
invadd mother and a little brother and sister
not old enough to work.
The youug man said something about being
tired of living alone in the world without object
or aim, and it is declared hv friends who joined
the two as they stood there talking, that Miss
Emma went hack home with a tear glistening
in her eve and a happy sensation in her heart
She promised to forever discard the overalls
and blouse, and is soon to become the bride of
the mau who interrupted her in her search for a
man's jobat man's wages.
A Woman’s Confusion.
A woman living up in Harlem was telling the
Ne.w York Commercial the other day how she
took'&n Innocent part in the playing of a clever
dodge by a bold and successful swiudler.
The woman la question occupies a large house
and rents rooms to men only. To her recently
came a prepossessing looking youth of good
address, desiring to look at the second floor hall
bedroom if it was vacant. The room was vacant,
and an examination proved to be satisfactory.
"I will take it for a we -k,” sai l the young
man. "I want to go and get some of my things.
I will be back in half an hour and pay you for
the room on taking possession.”
The young man departed and not long after
came baok with a comfortable bundle under his
arm and accompanied by another young fellow,
to whom he said:
“Just sit down here in the parlor while I go
upstairs; I’ll be down In a minute.”
Youth No. 1 goes upstairs. Youth No. 2
settles himself in the parlor and waits. Pres
ently the lady of the house ent-rs and learns
that her new “roomer’’ls upstairs and will be
down directly. The upstairs man does not
descend, however, and the waiting youth says
carelessly: “Well, I suppose you might as well
pay this bill now as any time.’’
"Bill! What bill?’’
“Why, this little bill for your son’s clothes.”
“But. good gracious, I haven’t any son.”
“What? That fellow that just went upstairs
isn’t your son! Why, he ca ne to our store,
bought a suit of clothes, aud said if I came
down with him his mother would pay for them. ’’
An immediate search of the hall bedroom,
second floor, followed, but the bird had flown
aft -r donning the new plumage and leaving the
old behind.
Ttie manager of the clothing house, sum
moned to the scene, reflected a moment after
hearing the story and concluded: “Well, that's
the sharpest trick I’ve seen played this season
The risk of detection that fellow ran is enough
to let him out. He can have the clothes.”
Making a Solid Mistake.
“You see some strange sights on a street
car sometimes,” he remarked to the Chicago
Mai! man, closing his paper.
”0, yes.”
“Great place to study human nature.”
“Yes.”
“1 got my knowledge of humanity by study
ing types on thestreet car.’’
“Um! That so?’’
“Yes I just pick my man out and study him,
and i generally find that, I am not far off In the
impression I form of him.”
“Um!”
“Now take that man over there in the corner.
He’s just as meek as Moses. You can walk a l
over him and he won’t say a word. Most
likely he’s henpecked Got all the spirits
knocked clean out of him. Reminds one of a
preacher, 9hr’
“Which? Er—vesl O. yes!’’
“I bet my watch you can twist him around
your finger—Hello! He gets out whore I do.”
The meek man walked slowly to the baok
platform, followed by the student of human
nature. In his rush to get out of the car this
confidential philosopher, who is determined
you shall not read your paper after he finishes
his, trod on the toes of the man be had beeu
studying. 3he man raised his shoulder and
threw the philosopher over to the other side of
the car, then turning to the conductor said:
“it beats ! what a lot of 1 ! : l :
fools one meets on a oar. I’ll ! ! ! it t had
anything to do with a oar line I’d change mat
ters or !! ! I know the reason why.’’
And as the philosopher sneaked out he turned
to me ana said:
“We ail make mistakes some times, don’t
we?”
Business Principles Applied to Opera.
The hustling western merchant, with a pretty
good-sized bank account and a credit that would
make even a board of trade man hesitate to
call margins on him, was in the city to buy
some goods, says the Baltimore Herald, and
the traveling man had taken him to the mati
nee.
He fidgeted in his seat a little as the soprano
sung her best number, and seemed to be nerv
ous while the tenor was doing himself proud
with bis plaintive song. In fact, nearly ail the
singing seemed to trouble him. Finally his
companion asked:
“Ever heard grand opera before?”
“No, I haven’t,” he said, in a burst of confi
dence," “and I want to say right now that I'd
like to have the management of this concern
for about five minutes."
"What would you do?”
"I’d run it on business principles; that’s what
I’d do I wouldn t let any of those people loaf
on their joh. that’s sure! I'd make ’em toe the
mark or I’d know the reason why.”
"Why, don't you like the singing?” asked the
traveling man in surprise.
“Oh. yes, the singing’s all right, but it’s too
blamed slow! I’ve got an engagement at 4
o'clock, and they coul 1 finish the whole busi
ness by that time if they were pushed. But
they ain’t; they just take their time and draw
the thing out. I’d cut down the time of that
fellow with tho waxed mustacne five minutes,
and if he couldn't hustle his song to his love
through in that time I’d discharge him. It’s
just a case of loaf and lack of business man
agement; that's what it is. I'd like to see some
of my employes fool around that way once.”
Rushing the Results.
A doctor who was noted for his pretenses
rather than for his cures, says Youth's Com
panion, was called to prescribe one day for a
man who was ill, and gave him some medicine.
The next day but one he called to see the pa
tient.
"How is he to day?” he asked a servant at the
door.
“He’s dead, sir—that’s how he is," said the
servant.
"He is, eh?” said the doctor, indignantly
“Well, that's always the way. People expect
our medicine to work wonders, and then they
get in a hurry and don't give it time to prove
what it can do!"
Satak —Well, what do you want?
Reporter—l want to come in.
Satan—What kind of a life have you led?
Reporter—Baintly.
Batan—Then you can’t come in.
Reporter—Well, I guess I can come in; what
do you say to that? [Then, showing his fire
badge, he walked inside]. — Judge.

One section of the great historical collection
at Dresden is literally a museum of boots aftd
shoes, being, it is believed, unequaled in the
world as a repository for the footwear of celeb
rities. says the Pall Mall Gazette. Among the
things of interest shown are a pair of shoes
worn by Martin I.uiher at th* diet of Worms,
and the toilet slippers of tlje great Maria The
resa. In a sealed case are shiwn the boots worn
by Napoleon at the battle of Dresden and the
jack hoots of Peter the Great
Concerning the receift stories published
throughout the country that Dr. Cyrus Teed of
California had succeeded in getting hold of the
finances of the Society of Ecenomites, Trustee
John Duss has published a statement detailing
how Dr. Teed happened to visit the society and
the results of the same. Mr. Duss says Dr.
Teed did not get their money, and was not after
it. He sought and won moral support, and in
tends to send recruits to join them. As to the
finances, they are iu safh hands, and there is no
danger of any person becoming a member aud
causing any change in the system. The affairs
are entirely in the hands of the hoard of elders,
and no one person could get control of the soci
ety's millions.
It has often been remarked that the famil
iar air of "Dixie’’ will elicit more applause here
than any other piece of music that may be per
formed. A medley of national or patriotic airs
will usually contain "Dixie,” and that particu
lar tune will be greeted with a degree of ap
plause that quite throws everything else In ttie
shade. This tact is attributed to southern senti
ment, but it is fnr from correct. The northern
soldiers sang “Dixie,” and marched to “Dixie”
in the great campaigns. Every union band used
to play it. and every union soldier has lightened
the knapsack and accouterments by joining in
the lively tune with his comrades. Besides this,
“Dixie” is a lovely bit of music, and in the opin
ion of eminent composers is superior to almos
oil the national airs of the world, conspicuously
so to those of this country. Don’t let anybody
make you believe that only southerners and
southern sympathizers love “Dixie.”
In “Stedman’s Expedition to Surinam” is
found the following account of the aboma or
dragon: “This remarkable creature is called
aooma in the colony of Surinam, its length,
when full grown, is often more than forty feet,
its body being t ur feet inoircumference. Its
color is greeni-U black on the back, a fine yeilow
on the sides, and a dirty white on the belly, tho
back aud sides being spotted with irregular
black rings, w ith a pure white spot in the center
of each, Us head is broad and flat, small in
proportion to its body, with a large mouth and
teeth set in double rows. It has two
bright prominent eves, is covered all
over with a scales about the size of a
shilling, and has two sharp claws under the
belly, near the tall, which it uses in seizing its
prey. It is an amphibious animal, that is. it de
lights in low, marshy places, where it lies con
oealed under the fallen timber, ready to seize its
prey, which, (torn its immense bulk. It is not
able to pursue When hungry it will devour
any animal tuat comes within its reaoh, and is
indifferent w hether it be a sloth, a wild boar, a
stag, or a tiger. After twisting itself about tho
body of a buffalo, a stag, or a tiger, by help of
Its claw3 It breaks every bone in the poor vic
tim’s body. * * * I have been told of negroes be
ing devoured by tins snake, and am not disposed
to discredit the story. He bites from no other
impulse than that of hunger, and is not venom
ous.”
Col. Pat Don-an, a native of Pensacola, Fla.,
and an ex confederate, was invited to speak to
the veterans at Moorhead, Mina., recently, and
among other things he said: "No man can so
iuliy appreciate the valor and the knightltness
of the soldiers of the union as & confederate
who fought agaiDst them. I salute in you the
representatives of the warrior legions that can
qu -red the grandest army of modern ages—ex
ojpt your own. Think a moment. But for us
where would you hav? been? If there had been
no confederates where would have been your
battles and who would have been your heroes?
If there had been no confederates Grant would
probably have bean, to the end of his days,
a tanner at Galena, Sherman a schoolmaster In
Louisiana, and Phil Sheridan, at most, a
major or lieutenant colonel of cavalry at some
rude frontier outpost. But for us—the con
fedeia es—you and the world would never have
known what heroes ygu had, and the Imperisha
ble records of American patriotism and courage
and devotion would never have been written In
the fire and blood of our four years’ war. But
for us—the confederates—Linooln's emancipa
tion proclam tion would never have been writ
ten, and all the millions of negroes would still
be in slavery. But for us—the confederates—
there would have been no battles of Maria -HAS,
of Shiloh, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, Chickamauga
or the Wilderness- You could have won no
victories, gathered. no laurels, and added no
sp en lors to the new world's history. Your
mighty heroes and ours wfil go, must go, hand
in hand to fame. Grant will never be men
tioned without a mention of Lee; Sherman will
sweep through the ages side by side with John
ston, and Sheridan and Custer will ride neck and
n-ek to immortality with Stuart and Hampton
and Forrest. Nor do we, as southerners, as con
federates, simply because we failed aud you
succeeded, propose to surrender one jot or one
tittle of our share an 1 interest in the resplend
ent heritage of American valor, American pa
triotism aud American glory! Whether you
won or we, Americans were tho victors, and, in
either event, I throw up mv hat and hurrah for
American prowess. Toe time has come when
every American, regardless of section or party,
whether he wore the blue or the gray, should
feel his bosom Bwell with honest, patriotic pride
at the recital of deeds that lend new luster to
American fame, no matter where or by
whom wrought. We should glory alike in the
memories ot Bunker Hill and Brandywine anil
Yorktown; of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma
and Buena Vista; of Bull Run, Antietam, Get
tysburg and Appomattox. We share alike the
fame of Washington, Jefferson, Hancock and
Adams; of Taylor and Scott, of Lincoln, Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan, Lee, Jackson, John
ston, Longstreet aud Hill. Your flag is our flag,
your country is our country, and your God is
our God. Your destiny and ours is one and in
separable. Let us, then, lay aside all bitterness
and bickering, and work together as brethren
for the highest good of the majestic new world
republic that rightly claims the allegiance and
the love of us ail."
