DR- LANE’S SERMON.
The editorial stall' of Tiie Banner
thauk Dr. Lane for his interest in
their spiritual welfare, for we know
him to be a good and sincere Chris
tian. and feel that a petition from
his Ups will find an answering echo
in heaven. We shall certainly en«
dear or to publish such a paper as
Dr. Lane requests, and will be truly
rateful to him or any of his people
to point out any error we may make.
It has been our experience that it is
much more difficult matter to know
what to keep out of a paper, than
what to insert. We have always en
deavored to throw our influence on
the side of peace, morality and good
government. Many good people la*
bor under a wrong impression about
what are termed Sunday’ papers.
The work on such journals is done
on Saturday ; but it is the Monday
morning papers that require editors
and printers to desecrate the holy
Sabbath. For this reason we prefer
to issue The Banner on Sunday
morning, as the only Sunday work
then attached to it is the delivery by
carriers. We are particular not to
insert any article in our Sunday edi
lion that will detract the thoughts
if the reader from the holy duties of
the day.
In this day and generation, the
public demand Sunday papers, and
in order to make a support we must
supply tbeir desires. If we did not
lo so, some oue else would take our
place. The only way to prevent
Sunday newspaper reading, is for
he churches to take the matter in
hand and educate the people up to
the standard asked by Dr. Lane.
This is the work of the pulpit—not
the secular press. Any Sunday, on
THE ERECTION OF MONUMENTS IN
THE SOUTH.
No one is more heartily in favor of
honoriug and perpetuating the mem
ory of our departed heroes and states
men than The Banner editor ; but
we have ever been opposed to the ex
penditure of the millions of money
in erecting costly monuments and
statues over the Soutn, tocommein*-
orate the names and deeds of our
Confederate dead, while the wives of
these very old veterans are ■toiling
their lives away to keep the wolf
from their doors ; their children
growing up in ignorauce, and man}’
of their old comrades-i unarms suf
fering for medical attention or art
the inmates of poor houses. The
first duty of a grateful people should
be to care for the living, for our dead
heroes have a more enduring monu
ment—-formed of devotion, love and
gratitude, and erected in the hearts
of their countrymen—than can be
ever carved of marble or moulded of
brass. Do you not suppose that if
it was possible for one of these old
veterans who fills an unmarked grave
in the valley of Virginia, or any of
the other battler-fields of the Con
federacy—to come back to life and
express his wish, that be would say
to his people : “ Take the money re
quired to carve my name upon that
imposing shaft you are erecting in
your city, and buy with it bread for
my dependent widow and little ones!
Let my bones rest where they are,
or even sell them to fertilize a hill of
corn, that the boy I left at home may
receive an education aud take a lead
ing part in the government of his
country ! ' I have given my life to
the cause of the South—my memory
I know is enshrined in the hearts of
THE BANNER OF THE LOST CAUSE.
It appears that a Gonfed°rate flag was thrown
ov.r the coffin of Jefferson Davis, and that it
was one of the two or three emblems of the
»ost cause displayed at the occasion of the fu
neral, while the stars and stripes were every
where conspicuous. It is to be hoped that
the Confederate flag was buried with Mr. Da
vis, and that hereafter it will cease to be dis
played in the- South.
We take the above paragraph from
the Boston Daily Advertiser. We
the dismissal by Dr. Lane of his \ my kindred and countrymen—my
congregation, you will see many of
his most sincere and best members
rush to the post office to get their
papers, and begin to devour the con
tents even before they leave the
building. The Sunday Banner is
inly a drop in the ocean, and its
suspension would be missed but
slightly. But the people demand
its publication, and until the pulpit
educates them difiereutly,either The
Banner or some other Sunday paper
must supply their wants. We will
be glad to assist ‘Dr. Lane in any
good work he may undertake.

GRADY’S GREAT SPEECH-
We believe that the Boston speech
of Henry W. Grady, on the race
problem in the South, will do more
to allay prejudice at the North, and
defeat the iniquitous legislation re
commended by the republican Presi
dent in his message, and so greedily
taken up by his friends in Congress,
than all the efforts and discussions
that can possibly be made. It was
a combined argument and appeal in
behalf of the South and the South
ern people, that is sure to reach ev
ery honest and thinking heart. Mr.
Grady has done great work for Geor
gia and Georgians, but bis magnifi
cent effort in Boston was of a more
tar-reaching character ; and while
so nobly, eloquently and patriotically
vindicating his people from the slan
ders of their enemies, he at> the same
time, by the most gentle touehjlifted
the scales of prejudice from the eyes
of the fair minded republicans of the
North, and caused them to look UDon
his people and his country with clear
and impassioned vision. Although
in the cradle of abolition—and sur
rounded by men who have been rear
ed to look upon the South and her
institutions with distrust—like a
pillar of flame did this gallant and
brilliant young Georgian stand be
tween the South and her traducers,
and not only vindicated his people*
and their institutions, but tore the
veil of hypocrisy from the facei of
those who sought to crush aud op.-
press them, by appeals to passion
and prejudice.

matters not what becomes of my in
animate clay !”
Costly monuments, while prompt
ed by the puiest aud most patriotic
motives, tend more to gratify the
vain-glorious pride of the living than
to benefit the dead. It is all right
and proper that they should be erect
ed, if our people could incur the
expense, after generously providing
for the !i”ing. But this is not the
case with the South. Through
mistaken sense of duty and patriot
ism, bread has been taken from th
very mouths of the families of dead
soldiers—their children permitted to
grow up in ignorance—living and
and maimed veterans allowed to
suffer, that these mute evidences ot
valor might be built. To our mind
it would have been far better that
every dollar expended in a Confed
erate monument in the South since
the war had been distributed among
the dependent families ofthegallan
men that these imposing shafts are
intended to commemorate.
An occasional loaf and needfub
clothing given to the poor widows ot
our Confederate soldier would be a
more fitting and appreciated tribute
to the memory of our heroic dead
than all the monuments the sculptor
can^arve ; a soldier’s home in each
Southern State, where our maimed
and enfeebled Confedeiate ueleran3
can spend their declining days in
ease and com fort,is a grander iituslra
tion of devotion to the Lost Cause—
and would be more gratifying to our
beloved old chieftain could he look
back—than mountains of marbie
and bronze, carved in honor of Jef
ferson Davis.
Henry W. Grady has accomplished
with his gifted pen more for the he
roes of the Confederacy, than every
shaft erected since Gen. Lee’s surf-
render.
«"While we have long neglected to
properly provide for the families of
our dead and living soldiers, there is
yet much to do. From this day on
ward let us look more to the comfort
of the living, than to the memory of
the fallen. So Jong as a drop of true
Southern blood flows in the veins of
our people, the soldiers of the Lost
Cause will never be forgotten. This
generation will have all it can do to
care for the veterans and families of
veterans still among us. and make
as easy and pleasant as possible,
their path to the grave. Leave the
erection of monuments td our chils
dren and grand-children. Surely we
need not fear to trust to them the
noble task of perpetuating the deeds
and memory of their forefathers

would ask our Boston cotemporary
what move fitting winding-sheet
could be found for the great Confed-
rale chieftain than the banner he
so gallantly upheld for four long
years, and in the face of such fearful
odds ? The stars and bars, too,were
ex-President Davis’ only flag,
for his enemies refused him citizen
ship under his country’s banner,that
he so proudly upheld on the plains
of Mexico aud in bloody Indian
wars. Would the Advertiser have
Mr. Davis’ coffin enshrouded in the
bunner of a country that disowned
him ? Such an act would be an in
sult to ihe honored dead—an insult
to his manhood and his independ
ence—an insult to the brave men
now’ sleeping in unmarked graves,
and who so freely gave their life
blood to maintain the flag under
which their old leader sleeps his last
sleep.
JeffVrson Davis was the only Con
federate left in our Union of States
for he is the one man to whom vindic
tive partisans refused to extend the
hand of a in nest}’. Let the stars aud
bars of the Southern Confederacy be
his winding sheet, and a prouder or
more spotless one never enshrouded
the body of a dead warrior. En
closed in that old flag was the devoted
love of millions of true aud loyal
Southern men and women—en
twined in its foids was the most sa
cred memories of a conquered nation.
One Confederate flag was buried
with Mr. Davis, but there are yet in
the keeping of brave soldiers and
their childten many others, that will
be tenderly guarded so long as a
shred remains. The cause of the
South was surrendered at Appomat
tox, but the emblem of the con
quered nation will be as sacredly
preserved as the last resting place of
of our loved ones. For the South
to repudiate the banner under which
her chivalrous sons so gallantly
marched forth, and did battle for
so many long and bloody years,
should bring upon her the contempt
of all brave men. Our people had
as vveli cease to display their love
and gratitude for our fallen heroes,
as to repudiate their flag.
No disloyalty i3 meant in a dis
play of the stars and bars of the
Confederacy. When that flag was
turn their attention to sweeping out
their own Augean stables. The ver
dict of the jury in the Cronin case is,
‘Coughlin, Burke aDd O’Sullivan’
life imprisonment; Beggs acquitted;
Kunze, three years imprisonment.”
Was there ever a greater parody ou
justice ? If the prisoners were guil
ty, the last one should have been
hanged—if innocent, acquitted.
There was no ground for any com
promise, for it was one of the most
deliberate, cold blooded and brutal
murders in the annals of crime in
America. It is only the truly loyal
city of Chicago that can furnish our
laud with such barbarous massacres
as the Haymarket riot and the Cronin
murder, and then select jurors whose
verdicts can be bought with the gold
of the crimiuals.
No such crimes as these are ever
heard of in the “barbarous South
U J
; v
no such verdict as that rendered in
the Cronin case are known South of
Masou and Dixon’s line.
And yet, the Chicago papers are
ihe ones that heaped the greatest
abuse on Mr. Davis when lying ou
his death bed—are always the most
blatant when there is any strife
between the races in the South.
Talk about the old Ivu Klux Klan!
Way it could not hold a torch to the
Clnn-na-Gael conspirators. One was
organized to protect the women
and children aud homes from the
depredations of brutal blacks, who
were incited by the camp-followers
of the Federal army togoard our peo
ple to desperation, and thus furnish
campaign material for the republican
party. TheKu Klux existed when
the country was in a state of tor*
moil, following the termination of a
bloody civil war, when the brutal ex
periment of placing black heels on
white necks was made. The other
was an organized band of conspira
tors, with headquarters in a city that
holds itself up as an example of law
and order for the South. In times
of peace they met, planned and ex
ecuted a deliberate and cold-blooded
murder, to gratify malice, conceal
their villainy, and' further selfish
ends. And yet, when the murderers
were arrested,and the strougestchaiu
of evidence riveted around them,
they were (permitted to escape the
consequences of their crime through
a bought and perjured juror—and
that juror, too, one of Cook county’s
model,Christian citizens.
We trust t.iat the Chicago papers
will now go to work and lift the beam
from the eye of their own city, be
fore seeking for motes in the optic
orb of the South.

The people of Newberry, S. C., are
to be congratulated upon having ’adopt
ed tactics which have prevented them
from being harassed by pious John
Wanamaker.' It appears that the post-
master-geueral proposed to appoint a
postmaster * who was obnoxious to a
South Carolina town, whereupon the
indignant people emphatically declared
they would no longer trade with John
Wanamaker, of Pliiladeldhia, and their
trade was.of considerable volume. Tho
pious postmaster being a good business
man, withdrew the nomination, and the
plucky people of Newberry are serene.
Here is a hint to other towns how to
protect themselves from objectionable
postmasters.
Col. C. W. Baldwin, of Athens, says

A new style of horse-shoe has been
patented by two Wisconsin men. The
shoe Is infide in sections, with elastic
cushions between, and rivets connect

which there will be a vertical yielding
or spring, avoiding shocks or jar to the
horse while traveling over hard pave
ments.
The Atlanta Sunday Chronicle kindly
speaks of The Banner thusly:
Col. Larry Gantt is making his Ath

Gantt is one of the best all ronnd news

material to work upon. There is no
more promising town than Athens.
Gantt has a heap of friends in Athefas
and vicinity who would like to see him
in congress.
