FIRST.
Recalling and reproducing what Pres
ident McKinley aald in hla speech at
the peace jubilee in Atlanta in Decern*
her, 1806, with reference to oor reunited
country and honoring the graves of the
Confederate deed—
“The time has now come in the
evolution of sentiment and' feeling
under the providence of God when,
In the spirit of fraternity T we should
share with you in the care of the
grave* of the Confederate soldiers.
"The cordial feeling now happily
existing between the North and the
South prompts this gracious act,
and, if ltineeds farther justification,
it is found in the gallant loyalty to
the Union aud the flag, so conspicu
ously shown in the year just passed
by the sons and grandsons of these
heroic dead.”—
the esteemed Atlanta Journal, with
flaming headlines and all the flourish of
sensational journalism, makes the sug
gestion that the South build a monu
meat to ^be late President. In its Sat
urday’s, edition the Journal embellishes
its front page with the design of an im
posing monument [in which the South,
in the figure of a woman, is laying a
wreath at the feet of "McKinley, the
Peacemaker.” Under it all the Journal
print* in big letters across three col
umus: "Let the South build this mou
ument to McKinley,” and then nomi
nates os a committee to carry out this
suggestion Gen. Fitzhagh Lee, Gen
Joseph Wheeler, Gen. J. B. Gordon and
others.
The suggestion that the South erect a
monument to tho late President McKiu
ley because he, more than citheu-or all
of the Republican presidents that we
havo hud since the War Between the
States, all of whom have been Northern
men, treated us more like we were book
into the Union aud a part of a reunited
country, is all right, and the Hkkald
does not wish to be understood as rais
ing any objection to it; bat we do want
to say, and must be permitted to say,
that before the South undertakes to
build another monument sho ought
to complete the oue to her own martyr
president, Jefferson Davis, a movement
to erect which was inaugurated ye:
ago.
The people of tho South, compared
with:those of the North,.are j»oor and
have been heavily burdened since the
civil war, and in view of these condi
tions it is perhaps not yet a disgrace to
them that they have not erected tf fitting
and enduring monument to their mar
tyr chieftain,but tho slow prbgress which
the movoment has made is certainly uot
to their credit. The fund in the hands
of tho Daughters of tho Confederacy
for the purpose of building the Davis
monument amounts, we believe, to
about $85,000. This is loss than half th8
amount necessary to complete the de
sign and carry out the plan for the
proposed monument at Richmond.
Takiug u sober, sensible view of the
matter, would it not bo more to our
shame than to orr credit for us, iu a fit
of sympathetic hysteria, such as lias fol
lowed the death of President McKinley,
to propood to erect a monument to' his
memory before wo hrnl discharged a
plain and self*imposed duty to ourselves
in perpetuating tho memory and noble
Ufo and character of our own martyr
president—oar own heroic dead !
But if this suggestion to have the
Sonth build a monument to President
MeKinloy will serve to revive and accel
erate tho movement to Great the Davis
monument it will uot have been in vain
Lot us finish the Davis monument, and
then we will be in positiou to undertake
to build a monument to President Mc
Kinley without bringing shame and re
proach upon ourselves.
Many stories of Emma Goldman,
none of which are very complimentary,
are now goiug tho rounds. We take
this one from the Savannah News:
Three years or so ago Emma Goldman
astoui*hed a Milwaukeo sidewalk audi-
euce by anhouncing that- on the follow
ing evening she would baptize an an
archist baby ou tho streets. Promptly
at the time indicated, aud when a largo
audience had been assembled, au an
archist and his wife presented a baby of
a few mouths to the woman to be 'bap
tized.’ She took the child, .held it iu
her arms, made a speech denouncing re
ligion and its customs, and poured a
mhg of boor over the child’s head.
Thatia an anarchist baby,’ shesbbnted,
aud it has had an auorohist baptism ! v
That,!* the manoor-of-o womatrwho haji

States.”
. OUT OF THE SHADOW,
The dying testimony, the unwavering
faith and calm resignation, without a
tremor of fear or a semblance of dread,
suoh men as William MoKinley
ougjit to be sufficient in this day of en
lightened civilization to put an end to
infidelity, agnostioism and all the other
isms and onlts that seek to question the
existence, power and loving kindness of
a living God and the eflloacy of the
atonement on Mount Calvary by the
meek and lowly Nazarene for those
who believe and pnt their trust in Him.
The faith of the man who, realizing that
he is about to enter npon the journey
across “the valley of the shadow of
death," closes his eyes to the world,
commits his soul to God and chants,
Nearer, my God, to.Thee,” is not only
snblime, bat mast be based npon some
thing that is real. Snch faith, such
testimony, each confidence and calm
serenity upon the very brink of the dark
abyss that we call death, refleot an
effulgence in the light of whoso rays
the shadow under which skepticism
nestles is dispelled, and skepticism van
ishes.
THE DAYIS MONUMENT.
The United Daughters of the Gonfed
eracy annonnoe their intention to have
the monument of .JefTersou Davis in
Richmond, Va., completed and unveiled
in 1908. The organization now has
$85,000 of the fnnd required, and par
poses to raise $40,000 more.
Tho erection of a suitable monument
to Jefferson Davis is a work that, has al
ready been too long delayed by the poo
pie of the South.
. H0WIS0N BOUNCED.
When the Hkrald'h report of the
opening proceedings of the Schley court
of inquiry closed and the paper went to
pr9BB yesterday afternoon Admiral
Schley was reading his objections to Ad
miral Hojvisou as a member of the court.
Half an hour later a bulletin was re
ceived announcing thut the objeotiou
had been sustained and Howison ex
cused from serving. Tho court then
adjourned subject to tho call of the
judge advocate. Another man will now
have to be chosen to take llowisou’s
place. ___
Tho Cincinnati Enquirer is cf tho
oplnlou that, now that the authorities
have Emma Goldman, it is not easy
to guess what they will do with
her/ It is plain, though, from
her [[conversation, that she is not a
fit person to be at large among a free
and enlightened people. She is not the
intellectual woman that some of the
gushing reporters have pictured her, but
she 1ms enough wit to be dangerous
among weak-minded and unscrupulous
marderers. She behuves like a woman
who enjoys sensetional notoriety, aud
possibly does not believe iq the doctrines
she preaches iu u jerky, crazy sort of
way.
General Dan E. Sickles was beaten
for commander-iu-chief of tho Grand
Army of tho Republic at Oolnmbus yes
terday. Good! He saw that he was
boateu and withdrew, and Judge Eli
Torraoe, of Minneapolis, was then unan
imously elected. Wo don’t know any
thing about Judge Torrace. Boot is,
wo don't care who he is nor what he is.
Our only concern about the . yiatter is
that we are glad flannel-mouthed Sickles
was beaten.
Lookout for it! There is going to be
a scandal amongst the doctors over the
death of the President. It is sure to
oome. Some one'or more of those who
•attended th? distinguished patient or
were called into consultation will tay,
“I told you so!” Then will come the
sharp retort—the crimination and re
crimination. And the country will be
full of doctors who will bo saying that
they could have saved the life of the
President if they had had the chance.
EDITOR CLARK HOWELL.
In our telegraphic dispatches from
Atlanta yesterday it was announced that
Mr. Clark Howell, editor of the Consti
tution, had purchased the interest of
Mr. W. A. Hemphill, for more than
thirty years the business manager of the
paper. This means, unless we have
been misinformed, that Mr. Howell uow
owns more than a majority of the capi
tal stock of the Sooth’s leading news
paper. Since Mr. Hemphill wauted to
dispose of his interest in the paper and
retire from active business, we are glad
that Mr. Howell was in position to be
come the pnrobascr. Clark Howell has
had a remarkably successful career as a
newspaper man and riohly ieserves the
best that can oome to him from tho Com
stitntion in the future. He assumed the
responsibilities of editor at an early age,
the mantle of the lamented Grady hav
ing been laid upon him before he was
oaf of his “twenties,” bat tho Constitu
tion has not ouly held its own but lias
grown and enlarged its inflnenco under
his able editorship. He has more friends
amongst the newspaper men of the
country than any editor in the South
today, and his personal influence ex
tends into every county in Georgia.
The Herald extends its congratulations
on his acquirement of a controliug in
terest in the splendid newspaper prop
erty to whose value his own brain and
energy have been steadily contributing
tor years.
The Hartford- Oonrant says: “We
notice with interest that the most ener*
getio demands for the suppression of an
archy and anarchists in this country
oome from Southern governors aud
Soochern newspapers.” The day will
yet come when the people of the North
will lenrn that the South is tho citadel
of constitutional government and thb
stronghold of American patriotism and
liberty.
The Cincinnati Enquire** remarks
that the fact that Ohauncey M. Depew
has kept rather shady slnoe he returned
from Europe has not eso&ped observa
tion. Mr. Depew has probably pat his
jokes in cold storage till the opening of
, next wiuter’& dinner campaign. Mr De-
pew annually take? .t stock of American
jokes to the other ?id« aud brings back
a supply of foreign facetiae. Hr* ought

SMASHED THE CONTRACT.
It was recently announced by the At
lanta pepen with a great flourish that
the Inter-State Fair Association had se
cured Carrie Nation as one of the at
tractions at the fair to be held in At
lanta. When this announcement was
made the Hirald took oooasion to de
nounce the purpose of the management
of the fair to bring this nnwomanly
woman to Georgia and stated that the
engagement would servo to put the peo
ple on notice that the standard of attrac
tions to be offered was not what it
ought to be. So far as we have seen,
the Hskald was the ouly paper iu the
state to protest against the Carrie Nation
"attraction," but it now appears that
something has happened to bring the
management of the Inter-State Fair to
its senses. The oontraot with tho
“Smasher” has been smashed, and the
story is toid in yesterday’s Atlanta
Journal as follows:
All ooutraots between the Inter State
Fair association and Mrs. Carrie Nation,
the Kansas "smasher,” have been can
celled by the fair management. This
has been done because of Mrs. Nation’s
utteranoes in referenoe to President
MoKinley and the attempt made on his
life at Buffalo a few days siuoe.
"I am glad it happened,” she is re-
poitod to havo said lu an addresB to a
large orowd on Coney Island, New
York, “and I hope that the president
will die, because he stands as one of the
supporters of the liquor trafflo. He al
lows wines to be served on the tablo at
the white honse and in this way stands
as an example before tho yonth of tho
land.”
In view of these utteranoes, at whioh
there has been no attempt at denial, the
fair management cancelled the oontraot.
Tile intense feeling aroused all over the
country hy tho attempt upon the presi
dent's Ufo was felt here and there was
a lingering fear that a remark snoh as
({noted from Mrs. Nation or any one
else in this oity might lead to disorder.
A leading criminal lawyer of Minne
sota,-Hon. W. W. Erwin, who defended
the Homestead strikers, declared before
tho President's death that Ozufgosz
could be proseontuil by the state of New
York for treason, the penalty for which
is death.
Word coined trim London that the
anarchists ure arranging for Emma
Goldman to leoturo over there. She
may be able to meet her bookings on
the other side of the Atlantic, bat it is
not probable that iier harangues will
ever bo tolerated again iu the United
States.
The Hopkinsville News and Dispatch
says: "Hon O. 13. Stevens, Ootumis
sioner of Agriculture, will very likely
serve another term without opposition,
if hew nuts to. He is one of the most
popular commissioners the state has
ever had, and his administration
being commended on nil sides."
The Americns Times-liecorder says
"Jim Parker is a human prodigy. He
wus born in Atlanta aud iu Savannah at
the same moment. Wonderful is At
lanta's “baby.”
The New York Sun seems to have an
undying hatred for Georgia. It lias
now gone to the extreme point of ex
pressing doubt whether tho state lias a
republican form of government.
Our esteemed neighbor, the Cordele
News, Is feeling good over an extra that
it issned ou Satnrday morning, and, iu
referring to this stroke of enterprise in
its Snuday morning edition, claims that
it "did wlmt no oilier paper in South
Georgia has ever done, got ont an
extra.” This will make some of tho
veteran newspaper men iu Sonth Geor
gia smile. Extras were published in.

MADE' IT IMPOSSIBLE.
Eili’or Perham, of the Wayoross Her
ald, wiio knows a thing or two shout
politics and looks nt matters political an
they are, sizes up the gubernatorial
oampnign, so far as Sonth Georgia is
concerned, as follows:
The Atlanta Constitution and Mar.on
Telegraph, assisted and backed to a
very great extent by the Savannah
Press, und a few other over-zealous pa
pers aud persons, have made it impossi
ble, in our opinion, for South Georgia
to elect a governor. And it occurs this
way:
First, there was a little misunder
standing between Estill and Turner,
whioh iu fact amounted to nothing and
should and would have been settled.
The Constitution and the Telegraph, au-
oient etiemios, got niixecl in it, and eaoh
finds a vent for oonoentrated spleou al
most of a personal nature. Then comes
tho Press, the papor of all others that
should have been qniet, conservative
and oarefnl under the cironmstauoes,
aud without jndgmeut or political
finesse, goes to work and ussidnonsly
fans the flame, and now what havo they
all accomplished? Nothing; absolutely
nothing, except to widen the breach be
tween the two South Georgia mon add
to render it almost impossible for a ooru-
promiso.
As the matter now stands, how- can
Estill retire? As the mntter now stands,
how can Turner back down? If Estill
and Turner were praying men, they
might both ask a kindly Provideuoe to
deliver them from their friends. It
might not he a bad idea to also petition
for a deliverance from their enemies.
As the matter now stands, neither Tur
ner or Estill cau be elected governor.
It will be some other man, but his nnme
the Herald is not prepared to give; we
don’t know it. i

prehensions of tlioso who look with fear
