SOUTH.
The president and the south has
been a question of great interest to
the enure country since Mr. Uoose-
veit took the oath. Everybody has
been conjecting as to his allude
toward the south, and when lie an
nounced some lime since that it was
his intention to be the president ot
the whole people, there was naturally
considerable consternation in some
quarters of the republican party,
'a he most notable utterances along
this hue are in regard to a letter
from the president in which he ex
pressed himself as being glad that
one ol his uncles was an admiral in
the Confederate navy, and that
another tired the last shot that was
discharged on the Alabama. This
seems to have stirred up the south
haters of Mew England more than
anything be count have said, it
was like waving a red flag at a
bull, and it did not pass w ithout a
nulleuges.

challenge; m fact, tw.- j nallenge*.
The first came from Fi . 11. Chal-
lis, past national comiiiuuder of the
hons of Veterans at a McKinley me
morial service held by a Grand Ar
my poet as Manchester, N. 11. Mr
Cha.lis said:
"1 confess that it was with some
misgivings that • I read the letter
which 1 J resident Roosevelt wrote to
u southern friend, in which he said
tiial lie was proud of flm lael that
two of Ids uncles served in the Con
federate oause, one as an admiral in
the Confederate navy, while the
oilier had tired the lust gun on the
Alabama. 1 have some misgivings
ns to the futuie. 1 don’t like to see
the pendulum swing that way.’’
Senator Burnham felt constrained
to add to the cry of defiance, and be
iilso said:
“We shall not yield one jot or.
tittle ot the principles that we fought
for during the civil war, or abandon
the idea that we were right and that
the south was eternally and wickedly
wrong.”
But it is refreshing to know that
such expressions have not been of
irequent occurrence, and it is a mat
ter worthy of note that the south
alone is not called Upon to make a
leply. In reference to the foregoing
the Pittsburg (Pa.) Post says, “.t is
a gnul waste of energy here.” And
so it is everywhere, except in the
minds of narrow and dwarfed ene
mies of tlm south, The .oininent of
the Pittsburg paper is interesting.
It follows:
“There is a great waste of energy
hero. President lio->sovelt. was
roud of the fact that his relative;?,
lice having enlisted in that cause,
ought bravely for that cause, lough.
..rawly for the south, just as his
maternal ancestors in that section
looglit bravely in the wars of the
revolution, and later in the war of
iMl'J. His relatives also fought side
oy side with him in the war with
pain. There is something in all
uis in wli eh any American may
ake just prmc. The Chicago Times-
Jerald aptly says, “Are we not, the
. ast majority ot us, proud of General
.oht L. Lee?"
“As to the south hiving been
M'liully and w.ekodly wrong,’ that
in opinion largely based on sec-
mil division. The north thought
■y were wrong, while the south
,uers thought they were right, and
ave the highest proofs of their s.n
•rity and devotion, in putting their
roperty and their lives in the scale.
Passing judgement that they were
lernally ami wickedly wrong’ is
nply the intrusion ot a needless
ic of opinion, when everything is
ring for peace and good will, that
,,o place lu the concents ol lo-
Captnin Cook, who commander 1
the Brroklyn in the naval battle of!
Santiago, tells a clear, straightfoi-
ward story, nnd one who reads ii
cannot feel that the Admiral lu
served under so loyally and admins
so much was the coward or even the
incapable that a number of others
would have the public believe.
It has rarely been ti.e good fortune
of a comnianner to have his flagship
bear as conspicuous a part in an ac
tion ns that of the Brooklyn at San
tiago. Her five inch guns alone
threw more than one third of the
missiles that pierced the Spanish
ships. In spite of the flings made at
the commander of tin flying squadron
no one has denied that the vessel lie
was on played a more prominent
part in the action than any of the
others.
Admiral Schley’s critics would
have us believe that lie was at fault
in not having all four of the engines-
of the Brooklyn coupled together
during the fight. Why did not
some of them make better time with
their ships? Thev would create the
impression that through the Admir
al’s timidity the Brooklyn fled from
the fight, or at least ran away for a
time. Why did not some of the
other slops get closer than the
Brooklyn to the enemy? If they did
get closer, why did they not do
more execution?
The scars on the Spanish ships tell
the story—a story that no human
testimony can shake. They tell
wlmt the Brooklyn did. They not
speak in such complimentary terras
of the work of any of the other ves-
tels. Each vessel did its part. Theie
was glory enough to go round but
the pride the American people feel
in their navy is shadowed by the
unseemly quarrel! that has resulted
from It.
The Macon News remarks that
“Democrats are applying for repub
lican jobs at an appalling rate.” An
office is the price of many--we be
lieve of a majority—of polititions.
