THE SOUTH IS WILLING.
We oympathlge with nil the nppenle
to the South to ntnnd firm for true

haa been preaching for a number of
weary year*. But It la a trifle discour
aging to find that what the South did
this present year l* Ignored by those
so fruitful of advice, and to have It
Intimated to u* that we have been
guilty of atfll another fearful blunder.
Tet It waa due to the Influence of the
Bouthern states that the Democracy
recured n sound platform and a con
servative candidate for 1104. The de
feat at the polls does not alter thin
fact *
At Charleston the other dsy that
estimable Independent Democrat, Col.
Oeorge B. M. Ifsrvey, editor of Har
per's Weekly, told uv that the Bouth
lias taken whatever has been offered
It without even n disapproving
grimace. "If free silver was tendered."
be said, "you swallowed that; If the
gold standard, you took that; protec
tion or free trade, a radical or a con
servative candidate, big navies or lit
tle navies, big sticks or mellow flutes
—whatever grist cams to your mill
was accepted so long as It bore tho
party label."
Admitting that the truth shines
through this exaggerated expression.
It Is pertinent to ask Col. Harvey what
•would have happened tf the South had
been less patient and more assertive
the past quarter of a century. We do
not wish to suggest that the heavens
would have fallen, but there would have
been a mighty uproar. 80 much for the
past. As to the future CoL llarvey
says:
The time ti fitting. The blight of hnlf
i off the Bouth. You have your
New York Bun.
The editor-ln-chlef of the Atlanta
Constitution was probably sway from
his desk when the utterance referred
to above (we had not noted It) went
Into his paper. It was an unfortunate
utterance, not so much because of the
Impression it crested abroad as be
cause of the suggestion unwittingly put
Into the minds of the hoodlum element
In Bouthern towns.
If the president should visit the
Bouth there would be no enthusiastic
shouts when his carriage passes along
the streets. Hurh demonstrations could
not be expected and fortunately would
not be necessary. But he would re
ceive every courtesy from those in
charge of his reception wherever he
might appear. Bo courteous would his
hosts be, In fact, that he might return
to Washington under the mistaken Im
pression that his unpopularity In the
Bouth Is little more than "newspaper
talk," as a few unrepresentative Bouth
ern men have already assured him.
We are of the opinion that he can
safely count on finding the Bouth "clvll-
Ised*' both ns to its entertainment com
mittees and as to the masses of Its
people. He need not apprehend the
occurrence of anything "forever re
grettnble'' or «ven disagreeable or an
noylng. We may add, however, that
his desire to visit the Bouth at the
present tlma—If be really have such
a deslrs—Is somewhat remarkable.
Bo many of President Roosevelt's
expected acts hav# never been heard
of afterward that It Is wiser as s rule
to delay comment until after the event.
But It mhy be said that tf he appoints
a grandson of Stonewall Jackson to a
cadetship at We4t Point because he Is
a grandson of Stone wall Jackson, as
Is reported to be his Intention, he will
please many people who are not now
roused to enthusiasm at the mention
of hta name.
