ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY MORNINQ, OCTOBER 2? 1891
beware of this BOOK!
there is one snbject upon which
Banner feels a deeper and more
idiog interest than any other, it is
that which is symbolized by a tat
tered old battle llag that, unsullied
,nd untarnished, was furled forever
AppomattOTj £* & <’ £ f : ■'
If there is one principle to which
we (ding more tenaciously than all
others it is that which would cause
the youth of oar great and-gloriouB
Southland to be taught that, the
cause for whibh their fathers fought
aud died were as great and sacred as
ever called the valiant to the field of
death. ., ■
To the end of carrying out our
principles along this line, we have
so located and urged the use of text
books in our Southern schools and
colleges that ’ teach that which we^
as Southerners, would have the ris
ing generation believe ; that tell
them, not that their fathers were
traitors and that the conflict between
the States was rebellion; but that
tell them their fathers were brave
and loyal, and true men, who fought
in defence of their rights and their
liberties. ^
We condemn the Southern man
who would teach his children that
the Sopth was wrong and that the
great conflict was .rebellion. The
measure of our disapprobation is bat
little less concerning the* Southern
man who would allow bis children to
be taught such doctrine. And we
all litt our heads proudly as Geor
gians in the consciousness that our
grand old State possesses only few
such citizens.
Yet. there are being taught in difi
ferent institutions of the South his
tories of the United States that pre
sent this great question in the most
false light imaginable. And that
which arouses our concern more than
anything else is the fact that there
is being taught in the University of
Georgia just such an iniquitous text
book." -
It is Johnson’s history of the Uni
ted States, and; was introduced into
the University by Professor J. L
McPherson, formerly of the Univer
sity of Michigan, and is used by him
as a text book for the Junior class.
While we have no attapjt to make
on Professor McPherson or anybody
else at prepent, the Banker feels
that if it owes one duty to the pifb
lie, as a public servant; if there is
one utteranoe it can make without
apology, that duly and that utter
ance lie in .the honest sober criticism
of sncb learning taught in the State’s
eheriehed University, an institution
that belongs absolutely to the peo
ple of Georgia.
One or two paragraphs from this
book will forever damn it in the
minds of men who .love the stars and
bars. Concerning the secession of
the States it says U
“Under what claim’ of constitu
tional right all this was done passes
comprehension. That a State con
vention should have the final power
of decision on the question which it
was summoned to consider is quite
as radical doctrroe as has yet been
heard of * * * * * is a
novel feature in American' Constitu
tional law. It was revolution or
nothing.” ' r.
Can such doctrine as this be tol
erated in an institution dear to the
hearts of Georgians ? Must we tench
the youth of oar State that the South
had no right t6'sececfe > If such be
tho necessity of the case, we would
respectfully advisethe abolishment
of the Chair of History as the far
lesser of the two" evils..
Continuing, the book says :
“The functions of the voter ceased
when he voted for delegates to the
State convention: he could only look
on helplessly while that body went
on to oonstittft«--'him a citizen ofja
new nation,'*--qf which he had not
dreamed whenhe^oted, and which
could only exist by warring upon the
United States.”
In all 'fairness, and more patient
than we ought to be,' we ask is this
history? Not satisfied with teach
ing that we of the South were out—
m and 1 audits to secede; the on-
JF truthful author goes on to say, that
the majority of Southerners were un
willingly forced intg the Confederacy.
As to the falsity , of tfc$s base insin
uation answer the four long years ot
warfare in which the Southern aoL.
diers fought with a heroism unsur
passed by the Spartan heroes at
Thermopylae or the Old Guard at
Waterloo.
A little further on it characterizes
1h Snilhern Slates as ‘erriDg sis°
ter-.’ and takes o casion to pass high
compliments upon all the war Gov-
fcrnors as being prompt, methodical
: - * - • • •
and intensely devo ed to their duty.
Especial emphasis is laid upon the
fact that the Southern people joined
the Confederacy in order “to follow
the State," as if no higher motives
impelled them to take the step In
another place he speaks of congress
making ‘‘confiscation of property a
penalty of rebellion.” Then follows
a piec;; which we nail up as a lie,
aud those who don’t like it can lump
it. It is as follows :
‘The suspension of the writ of ha
beas corpus, and the vast ., powers
granted to President Davis, or as
sumed by him under the plea of mil»
itary necessity, with the absence of
a watchful and well-informed public
opinion, made the Confederate Gov
ernment by degrees almost a despot*
ism.”
In another place it speaks of de
sertion as being common in the Con
federate ranks; in still another, of
the dissatisfaction prevalent through
the whole South about the war, and
at last to state that the South had
been a clog on the advance of the
whole nation.
Space will not admit a lengthy res
view of this part of Johnston’s His*
tory of the United States. We would
willingly spread it all ont before our
readers if we could.
Without constitutional rights, re
bellion, despotism; in other words
traitors to their country!
Is such a book to be tanght our
Georgia boya? Not much.
From your'narrow house at Wash
ington in the grand old connty of
Wilkes, come forth thon undaunted
Southerner in all the majesty of your
untamed spirit and record against
such a proceeding the shining name
of Robert Toombs ! Thon diminu
tive giant of Georgia] statesmanship,
now sleeping within the town of
Crawfoxdville,speak in trumpet tones
and forbid the teaching of each doc
trine in the institution of which you
were so honored a graduate ! Sil
very tongue ot Hill and matchless
oratory of Cobb proclaim the fallacy
of such a step, through the magic
power of the reverenee that Geor»
gians bear upon yonr memories !
Professor McPherson says he does
not intend to teach the boys any
thing like the sentiments of this
book, and announces that he only
teaches the history as a thread upon
which to hang his lectures. If he
wants something strong upon which
to bang his lectures be will not find
it in any such a book. The thread
he has chosen is not sound. The
ground work is unrighteous.
As w**11 might we advise a parent,
who wishes to teach his son the doc
trines of Christianity, to put in his
hands the works of Tom Paine and
Bob Ingersoll and Voltaire in order
that be might have a good thread
upon which to hang bis pions lec
tures.
And more than this, the sectional
Btand of this history is not its only
fault. It inoulcates Republican doc
trine from the beginning to the end,
and of this we will have something to
say later.
The whole book is wrong so far as
its purpose in the University is con
cerned, and the sooner it Is put out
of the curriculum the better. —.....
IT WILL BE SPEAKER CR’SP.
Georgia will have the next Speaker
of the National Honse of R. presen-
tatives. Every sign points that
way at least, and it verily seems
that the whole country is chrystal-
ized for the Georgia .Congressman.
The New York Herald’s Washing
ton correspondent makes the follow
ing reference to Congressman Crisp :
Representative Charles F. Crisp,
of Georgia, is in the city, and natu
rally his presence has caused a re
vival of speakership gossip. Judge
Crisp, like all the.other candidates,
is very hopeful. He has good grounds
for his hopes Wuile the fact re*
mains that a large contingent of the
next congress is unpledged to any
man, Judge Crisp has already an
encouraging list of personal prom
ises. He told me to«day that he waB
constantly expecting a practically
solid vote from the South. He also
has assurances from Northern and
Eastern Democrats that make the
outlook very encouraging.
“The real contest for the speaker,
ship,” said the Judge, ‘‘will not be
gin until after the November elec*
tion. The campaign will likely be
short and sharp. I am very well
satisfied with my prospects. I have
a flattering number of personal
pledges 1 presume that is what all
the candidates say, however. Every
one feels sure of bis election, and of
course there are bound to be disap
pointments. The canvass will be
lively from the fact that so many
new members are coming in. It has
been remarked that not for many
years have there been so many on-
committed votes in the speakership
question. This, I presume is true
Over half of the next congress will
be composed of new men, the major
ity being proportionately democratic.
These new members naturally want
to meet the candidates and make
their personal acquaintance before
they pledge their support.
“Judge Crisp said be had been
depending largely npon newspaper
accounts for his knowledge of his
opponents’ movements, and from
what be had learned that way he had
no cause to be disheartened.”

THE NATION STAGNATING.
SPLENDI^^RVE^TWEATHER.
The farmers of thqTPiedrrfont sec»
tion of the South could ask no better
season for the harvesting of their
crops this year than what they have
received all along.
Not lately have the crops been
gathered under such propitious con
ditions as they have this autumn,
and.tbe farmers have a double cause
for thanksgiving. They have had
good seasons all the year through
fqr the growing of their crops, and
now have glorious sunshine for the
harvest. . , ■.
The farmers ought to be happy.
an important CONVENTION.
In Atlanta October 28th there will
be held a most important conven
tion, aud it ought to attract a large
attendance.
Reference is made to the cotton
convention which has been called all
over the South for the farmers of
Dixie to meet and decide upon cut
ting down thb acreage of cotton in
the South. It would be wise for this
convention to cut down the acreage
at leaat one half. The world needs
a rest in the production of cotton.
The stores are filled with cotton
goods which cannot be disposed of
for some time to come, the cotton
men tell us. This keeps down the
price of cotton. Moreover the far
mers of the , South ought to live at
home. They ought to devote more
of their land to corn, peas, potatoes,
grain and the like. They ought to
raise more live stock, hogs and poul<
try. This is practical farming.
Now let the farmers make the cot
ton convention in Atlanta a turning
point. Let them start the work of
reducing the cotton acreage in dead
earnest. The convention ought to
be largely attended, and the farmers
who gather there ought to meet with
a purpose fixed and determined.

We do fear it.
Until recently the antiquarians have
never been able to agree on which one
of the English WasbiDgtens was
Geokqb Washington’s direct ancestor,
but now they seem to have settled on
Rev. Lawrence Washington, rector
of Porlaigb Id Bsmx He was tinned
out of his living and died in 1053, four
or five years after which date his two
sons, John and Laweencef emigrated
to Virginia. The family history after
their arrival is well known. Their
father lies buried at Malden in Essex
and the parish records seem to make a
fairly reliable case in bis favor as the
immediate English ancestor of the Vir
ginia family. It was already well
known that John and Lawrence
Washington came to Virginia as refu
gees from Puritanism.

Be patient yet awhile! Another leg
islature will assemble and this matter
will be made an issue by the people in
the election of their representatives.
Mark it down
Snhaoribe for the
n mnor
siiig of Peace” aud “the Horrors of
War" stiud prominn t. It is but logical
that with such preuiioes the conclusion
should be reached that militarism is
also au evil, and such in fact, is the
general opinion iu this country. Jtt
might, therefore, not be out of plac- to
show some of the advantages of Mili
tarism.
The‘-inarticulate masses” as Carlyle
calls them, who thoughtlessly speak of
the “blessing of peaeefnl pursuits” will
in the same breath speak of the -‘strug
gle for existence’’' that is forced on
every individual, but it does not occur
to them that this struggle is also forced
on ete-y nation, and that to be be3t
prepared for it,<ives the greater chances
lor victory. Peace is not the natural
condition of thi3 world and no religion
will ever produce snHi a state. Nay,
the “Ecelesia milnans” in its very name
expresses its warlike char
acter and in point tf
fact, the Christian Church w ith its doc
trines of love, has this in common with
others, that to propagate this doctrine
it has found fire and sword most valu -
ble adjuncts. The earlv Christians
were tortured while 'hey were in the
minority, no sooner did they gain the
majority but they commenced to tor
ture infidels This was their right, for
in this world might is r ght and no
teaching of morality will shake this
rock; this is a fact, it may be deplora
ble, but it has to be reckoned with. So
ciety can and will, for self preservation,
guarantee his possession 1 to the indi
vidual to a certain extent, but who
guarantees to society, to the nation its
possessions? The Indians owned this
country, but the whites were mightier
and the red man had to go, in the same
manfler the negroes wifi, in time, be
forced to give up Africa. England
owned this country as a colony, the
colonist- proved th mselvesthe mighti
erand old England must let go her
most promising domain Had the re
bellion been a failure, Washington cap
tured aud bung, he would have gone
dowii to history as a rebel and traitor;
success wins admiration, and failure
contempt; we are too much in a hurry
to examine the motives, and results
concern us more. Rome conquered the
world, the Goths and Vandals conquer
ed Rom!; the Celts were driven
from every part of Europe and
found in Ireland the last retreat, beyond
which for a long while they could not
recede, now they are migrating to these
shores.
Asia, the great cradle of humanity;
has from time to time poured out fresh
people to take the plac s of those who
had lost in robustness,and as it has been
it ever wil[ be a question of might as
who shall possess the land. Russia may
be next, to expand into Europe after she
gets a little more civilization, France
ard all the other Latin races, decayed
as every one of them is, are likely to be
a fight between Romanic and Germanic
races, but between' Germanic and Star
peoples for tbe possessions of Europe.
Woe to Europe if she is not prepared
for tbe Semi-Barbarians, if not every
male has been trained to reach bis
greatest possible physical development
and to be every inch a soldier, with
heart and soul a warrior.
AT ITS ZENITH
The military spirit is at its height, all
Europe is a camp and her youug men
are being strengthened by drills, gym
nastics and marches.
Their minds are diverted from de
grading materia], objects and dollar
chasing to the virtues of self-denial,
exertion and sacrifice of comfort for the
safety aud defense of their country.
They are leading wholesome lives in the
armies, where everything has been
studied, is both as to
nutiitiou and exercise, that
will insure to each individual the high
est degree of health and efficiency, and
the sons of poor laborers return home
with dusts expanded, hard muscles
and rosy cheeks, which they could have
never purchased while trying to eke
out a poor existence in confined work
shops. Those, indeed, are few, who
don’t recall their army life with pleas
ure, and often with regret, that it last
ed no longer.
The difference in the physique before
and after service alone would entitle
the army to the claim of a beneficial
institution, but we see its greatest mer
it in the circumstances that it is a daily
reminder that we are not here to be ab
sorbed in material pursuits alter wealth,
but cultivate all manly virtues, to
which luxuriant wealth and ease are
the greatest enemies.
As soon as a nation begins to bo too
affluent, it is like the individual, prone
‘Mo lull on a lewd bed of vice,” lose its
vigor, and it will fall a prey to more
virile aggressors. To this danger, com
mercial nations, above all others, are
exposed, and it is, therefore, a pity for
these United States not to have un
friendly neighbors who would compel
us to he on our metal at all hours.
Who shall say that these fertile lands
will not, at a distant future, attract the
ambition of acorquerer? This coun
try has held its owu against all
comers, but so had Carthage,
also a purely commercial Common
wealth . but at last the most heroic de
fense did not avail against Scipio and
they paid the penatly for having loved
their money and peace better than
Hannibal, a general worthy to have
served a noble people.
DRIFTING TO EKFEMINATION.
The conditions that made the earlier
settlers and their descendants in this
country the sturdy, eudnring and fo!'-
respecting men, who had complete faith
in their own ability to shape their des
tination without any interference, are
gradually passing away Most ot the
obstacles to civilization have been wres
tled with and overcome, the cities an:l
ra if roadsand canal? are there; only in
the fir west a man ba3 still ro epeud
on his own resent ces to keep his Fcalp
on his head; but in tbe east civilization
is undisturbed, commetce flourishes,
wealth is accumulated in almost in
credible amounts and; Mercury is God,
with bis followers luxury and ease^
leading eventually toeffi mination, un-
lets v lar; should appear early enough to
give a health j' shaking up.
We were not made to live
or at ease Want of ohysiea

anything
fought for it and conquered. And con
quer we will if w<- an-the te:te-
of the two parties to the conflict, It

Our mental and physical endowments
are capable of development and as a de
gree of power that seems almost marvel
jous; this is the pound that has been
given to us with the command to in
crease if we neglect this duty it will be
taken from us a hundred fold; i. e., be
will help himself to it.
THE PANACEA FOE THE EVIL.
Militarism is the panacea for the evil
wrought by civilization pushed to ex
cess. It makes - men of those who with
out would be broken down in health,
it compels, the richest, as it does the
poorest to do duty for himself an.:
teaches him that here at least is one
thing to perform, for which he cannot
hire any body.
It makes a nation self-reliant, confi
dent in her own strength and best ol
all, it sets up, not money, but worth ~ a?
the standard by which a man is to be
guaged. Should then a foe attack such
a nation, he will but bis head against
it; if he should have lived in the same
martial spirit and prove the stronger,
the conquered will have tbe consolation
of an lionorablu death, far preferable to
an ignominiou? life by the leave of an
impudent conquerer or worse “protec
tor ” The Gauls, not. able to defend
themselves against Ariovist, called in
Caesar; the Brittians called the Anglo-
Saxon against the Picto and Lecto and
had to repent it; both are lost as a na
tion. In our times Turkey presents an
instructive spect-eie to the world,
showing what rights a helpless body
politic possess?8.
Is It not a question, shall Turkey be
divided up, but how it shall be done and
Russia rather thinks it hardly worth
while to divide at all, but to take tbe
whole.
Might will decide as it has sealed the
fate of Poland. Without being fully
equipped for war, no nation- should
feel wronged g if a strong
er neighlrour, but less
rich in fertile soil, or whose population
is increasing faster and needs expan
sion, should wrest from its hands wbat
these hands are too weak to hold.
Eternal peace on this globe is not
possible Dor desirable and Christian
doctrine has not shown its ability to
abolish war.
Christian nations war against each
other and from splitting hairs about the
meaning of the Bible, they come to
splitting heads, and split them for thir
ty years in one continuous war, to say
nothing of tbe Huguenots.
It is said, the Christian is a Religion
of love and peace, but also, “My king
dom is not of this world.”
