Atlanta, Ga., July 3(*.~-"l am literal ly thunderstruck at the mildness of Mr. Smith's published statement writ ten for delivery as a speech at Way- cross. It satisfies me more thau ever that the contest Is practically at a.i end, for no many with any hoi>e of victory could have staked his cam paign on the basis of tit.it adiress. It reads defeat ali through." ■Such, In part, is thie comment of Manager Ed Maddox, of Gov. Brown headquarters, after reading the speech which Hoke Smith did not make Waycross Friday. "No longer defiant," continued Mr. Maddox, "Mr. SmlttJ speaks 'like another man. His whole bearing has changed and the thing tha^ strike me most forcibly ab.ut his address is the embarrassing attitude in which it leaves Ms extreme supporters who have already been creating all kinds of imaginary issues only to have them knocked down one after another. "And now comes Mr. Smith absO' iutely ignoring some of these so-called Issues and treating the others in such a half-hearted way as to leave room f< no other conclusion than that hi, inner conscience rebukes the extreme' ism of some of his most enthusiastic advocates. . “I am now able to reconcile Smith's three statements to the effect that he would not run for governoi with Iris present candidacy. His speech is a confession that he bad nothing to run on." IIIGGEH BATTLES TO EIGHT THAN THAT AT HEXO Pittsburg, I’a.. Aug. 2.—“Too muc.1 Jack Johnson,” was the tSfemo of sermon by the Rev. A. A. Virgil, tho colored pastor of the Warren African Methodist Episcopal church' last evening. "I believe tho members of tny race have gone far enough in their jubilant spree over the victory at Reno," he said. "Too much Johnson .has made u mad. Tho negro is still a missionary people and will be for many years come. Consider that it took the white race two thousand years to get where it is, and it is still far from perfection Wo have harder battles to fight than those of the prize ring. Let tho sober mental sides of our natures get i proper hearing. There has been ah solutely too much Johnson on our lips, and perhaps, in our hearts."

Beverly, Mass., August 2.—President Taft has approved without comment, an opinion by Attorney General Wick ersham to the effeot thiff there is no provision of law by which* the statue of General Robert E. Dee, In Confed- rate uniform, can be removed from statuary hall In the capita! at Wash ington. in addition to deciding the question *n a purely legal basis. Mr. Wicker- sham argues the matter from an eth ical point of view, declaring that Lee has come to be regarded as typifying all that was best in trJe cause to which he gave his services and the most loyal and unmurmuring accept ance of the completo overthrow of the cause. That the state of Virginia should designate him for one place In statuary hall as ono Illustrious for dis- native state, he gave his services, bul also tt<e most loyal and unmurmuring acceptance of the complete overthrew of that cause. That the state of Vir ginia should designate him as one Il lustrious for distinguished military service, is therefore natural, that his statue should be clothel in the Con federate uniform thus eloquently testi fying to the fact that a magnanimous country has completely forgiven an un successful effort to destroy the un ion and that sta‘ue should be accent-: ed in the national statuary hall as tho It a woman had 30 husbands she would feel it her duty to herself to try to prove to her friends that each was better than the other, symbol of the acceptance without mis giving! of a complete surrender and a renewed loyalty, should aurely pro voke no opposition.

Y.. yesterday, while the crowd was going nrltd over a game of baseball between the Cuban giants and Me Middletown Athletic dub. The case eras that of a paper com pany of New York against a former sman named Gardner, who waa ar rested In a dispute over the disposal of certain bonds.

Then the judge and lawyers resumed their seats torney general declares, Is only nat ural and would be under the reading of the law. Mr. Wiekersham's opinion was cal! ed forth by a protest to the president from the Department of New York, Grand Army of the Republic. In his opinion, addressed to and approved by thv> president. Attorney General Wick ersham says: "I have read the resolutions adopt 'd by the Department of New York, U. A. R.. Syracuse, on June 23, and the communication of Hon. James Tanner ntli respect to them. The act of Ju ij s 1864. referred to. provides for the creation of suitable structures and railings in the old tall of the house or representatives for the reception and the protection of statuary, which is to be under the supervision and direction of the chief of engineers in charge of public buildings and grounds and the statute authorizes the pres ident to invite each* and all of the states to provide and furnish statues in marble or bronze, not exceeding two in number,-from each state, of persons who have been citizens there of and illustrious for their historic re nown, for distinguished military oi cvic services, such as the state shal deem worthy of tbs national oornmen- oration; and when so furnished the same shall be placed in -the «!d hail of the house of representatives In th capitol of the United States, which is set aside, or a9 much thereof as may be necessary for a national statuary hall fort the sphere indicated. "It is probably true,” continues the attorney general, that when this act was passed congress didn't contem plate that any state would designate one or more of its citizens who were engaged in warlike rebellion against the government of the United States as persons Illustrious let their his toric renown or for distinguished civic or military services whose statues should be placed In this hall.’ "Nevertheless, In tbs hope of iwhat Mr. Lincoln so firmly declared as this scourge of war' might awns pass away and that a reunited ' country might be realised, congress placed no limitations upon the act, upon th (ex ercise of the discretion of any state In seleoting thee# persons who ndt 'may 'deem to be worthy of this national commemoration.’ "It. to now 45 years since the civil war oloeed.
