Formation of a Splendid Organisa
tion of Confederate Veterans.
Governor John B. Gordon made the
following address to the association
as its general, on the occasion of his
aocepting the command. Our read
ers will find that this address itfon
the line of the principles and views
set forth by us in several recent ar
ticles, which appeared from time to
time in the Union-Recorder. We
bad no idea of the formation cf such
n splendid organization as that of the
Association of confederate veterans
which lias been formed, and of Gov-
erqor Gordon who lias been made the
General. No nobler champion could
have been found to lead the confeder
ate veterans and all their friends in
the path of duty, not only as south
erners, but as citizens of the United
States, devoted to the true principles
of our confederation as adopted hy
our ancestors to perpetuate the prin
ciples of liberty for themselves and
their children and their deseendents
through all the ages to dohie. The
heart of the noble “Hero and patri
ot, ’ Gen. John B. Gordon, beats re
sponsive to every effort of patriotism,
to do justfee to the confederate vete
rans, to give them, if possible, a hap
py and unclouded rest for the bal
ance of their glorious lives, and In do
ing this, to sustain the states in their
just rights and the union of all the
States, in a divine and ineffable state
of peace and glorious liberty, such as
our forefathers devised and intended
for them in all the years to come.*
The following is Governor Gordon’s
manly and noble oddifess on the oc
casion of accepting the position of
commander of the. united organiza
tion of the veterans ex-soldiers anil
sailors of the late Confederate States
of America. All power of speech fails
to do justice to the great commander. , _ _

It is believed that the State Alliance
will demand that Col. Livingston
shall withdraw from the field as a can
didate for governor or be deposed as
president of the Alliance. The farm
ers say the Alliance ha9 no politics,
and the manner of Col. Livingston’s
announcement on the heel of his elec
tion as president puts that organiza
tion in an embarrassing position.
Will Livingston resign or renounce
his candidacy?
If the avowed- candidates for Gov
ernor, Col. Livingston and Mr. North-
eu keep up their canvass until next
July or August with the same activi
ty and zeal that they have begun it,
there wont be an old shoe in either
man’s house that will not be over
turned to hunt for some domestic or
political mishap to bo taken advan
tage of by tlie friends of one or both.

To the ex-Soldiers and Sailors of the
Late Confederate States of Ameri
ca:
The convention of delngates from
the different states, which asssembled
in New Orleans on the tenth of June,
in defeat, iB to idealize principle and
strength of .cliaraeier, intensify love
of country and convert defeat and
disaster into, pillars of support for
future manhood and noble woman
hood. Whether the Southern people
under their changed conditions may
ever hope to witness another civiliza
tion which shall equal that which
began, with their Washington anil
ended with their Jjee, it is certainly
true that devotion to their glorious
past iB not only the surest guarantee
qf future progress and the holiest
bond of unity, but is also the strongest
claim they can present to the confi
dence and respect of other sections
of tlie Union. In conclusion I beg to
repeat, in substance at least, a few
thoughts recently expressed by me to
a state organization which apply
with equal force to this general broth
erhood. It is political in no sense ex
cept so far as the word "political” is
a synonym for the word "patriotic.”
It is a brotherhood over which tlie
genius of philanthropy aud patrotism
of truth and of justice will preside—of
phiiantlirophy, because it will succor
the disabled, help tlie needy, strength
en the weak, and the disconsolate; of
patriotism because it will cherish tlie
pass glories of the dead Confederacy
and transmute tlieid'into inspirations
for future service to a living repub
lic; of truth, because it will seek to
gather and preserve as witness for
history unimpeachable facts which
shall doom falsehood to die that truth
may live; of justice, because it wifi
cultivate national as well as Southern
fraternity and wifi dondeinn narrow
mindedness and prejudice and pas
sion and cultivate that broader, high
er, nobler sentiment which would
write on tlie grave of every soldier
who fell on either side: Hero lies a
hero—a martyr to right as his con
science conceived it. 1 rejoice, that
a general organization, too long neg
lected, has been at last perfected.
which all -lion-

designed
sociatiou of all the bodies of ex-con
federate soldiers throughout the un
ion. The convention adopted a con
stitution, and did me the great honor
to elect me “general,” which position
I accept with peculiar gratification.
Preliminary to the issue of any or
ders, I wish to call general attention
to the objects of this association and
to enlist in tber accomplishment the
active co-opeiation not only of every
survivor of the Southern armies, but
also that of a large contingent, the
sous of veterans who, too young to
have received a baptism of fire, have
nevertheles received with you a bap
tism of suffering aud of sacrifice.
The rst article of the constitution of
the association declares: Tlie objects
anil purpose of this organization will
be strictly social, literary, historical
aud benevolent. It will endeavor to
unite a general federation of ail the
associations of Confederate veterans
i soldiers and sailors now in existence
or hearafter to lie formed; to gather
authentic data for an impartial his
tory of tiie war between the states;
to preserve relics or mementoes.of
the same; to cherish the ties of friend
ship that should exist among the men
have shared common sufferings anil
privations; to care for the disabled
and extend a helping hand to the
needy; to protect widows and or
phans and to make aud preserve a
record of the services of every mem-
and as far as possible, of those of our
comrades who have preceded us in
eternity.” “Tlie last article pro
vides that neitiier ^'discussion of politi
cal or religious subjects nor any
political action shall be permitted in
the organization, and any association
violating that, provision will forfeit
its membership.”
Comrades, no argument is needed
to secure for these object's your en
thusiastic endorsement. They have
burdened your thougiits for many
years. You have cherished them in
sorrow, in poverty and humiliation.
In the face of reconstruction you
have ijeld them in your hearts with
the strength of religious convictions.
No misjudgments can defeat your
peaceful purposes for tlie future.
Your aspirations have been lifted by
the mere force and urgency of sur
rounding conditions to a plane far
above tlie paltry considerations of
partisan triumphs.
Tho honor of tho American republic,
the just powers of the Federal govern
ment, equal right of states integrity
of constitutional union sanctions of
law and tlie enforcement of order
have no class of defenders more true
and devoted than tlie exsoldiers of
tlie South and their worthy descend
ants. But you realize the great
truth that a people without memo
ries of heroic deeds, heroic sufferings
and sacrifices, is a people without
history; that to cherish such memo
ries and recall such a past, whether
crowned with success or consecrated

The little boys of a well knowp gen
tlemen of this city devote considera
ble attention to the raising of ducks,
their father taking all they can raise
at the usual market price when they
are grown.
Recently one of tlieboj’s aged about
15 approached his father and told him
he wished to sell him a brach of fine
well grown ducks at 35 cenfcs each—
for future delivery. Tlie father being
absorbed in some perplexing legal
question—being a lawyer—closed tho
contract anil paid over the price
agreed—ftltiiougb it was ten cents
each more than he hail but recently
paid a younger brother for “spot - ’
ducks—or ducks delivered on the
tlie payment of tlie money. But a
few days elapsed before the younger
brother made complaint to the father
that lie had paid tlie larger brother
ten cents more for ducks for future
delivery than he had paid him for
“spot” duoks—and that the older
brother had no ducks yet hatched
out but that they had yet to be hatoh-
eil and raised before he could deliver
them. The information set the fath
er to thinking that his boy had been
guilty of sharp practice upon him,
and on meeting hiui next he asked
what he meant by practicing such
methods upon him. Tlie boy replied:
“Well, father, I have an absolute
guarantee that the ducks 1 sold you
for future delivery will be all I rep
resented—and I mean to deliver them
in good faith in due time.” “Yes, but
sir,” replied the father—“How was it
you charged me [more for “future”
ducks than your little brother has
for “spot?”
The son replied—“Well, sir, you
know “futures” are often higher than
“spots” in market quotations—aud
the rule holds good in ducks as well
as in cotton, grain or other produce”
and the answer was so shrewd that
the astute Judge and father had to
acknowledge himself “cornered” and
throw up the sponge.

rence and transpired in this city

“Fornker is to be knocked out,”
said a prominent politican, “and
some of tlie leading Ohio republicans
wifi help tho democrats to do it.”
“What do you mean General?”
asked your correspondent. “Exactly
what 1 said,” returned the General.
After much persuasion, anil the prom
ise that his name should not be used,
tlie gentleman agreed to tell me his
reasons for making the assertion.
Ho said: “You are probably aware
that tho Ohio crop of woulil-be-
great-men has for some years been
largely in excess of the demand, and
consequently tlie Gtate is full of that
class of men anil the most of them
are republicans Forakor has been
in the way of these fellows for
some time and they recognize
the fact that if he is again elected
governor there will be no keeping him
down; he will either demand to be
sent to the Senate or supported for
President. They have decided thqt
the easiest way to get rid of him is to
help the democrats defeat him, and
to that end the wires are now being
laid. Murat Halstead and Richard
Smith of the Cincinanti Commercial
Gazette are in the plot, as is also Sen
ator Sherman. I do not assert that
President Harrison is helping these
men to down Foraker, but I know he
is cognizant of their plans and lias
made no objection there-to. Ho
probably would shed few tears to For
aker put in a position that, would
make him an impossibility in the
raoe t for tlie republican Presidential
nomination In 1892.”
President Green of tho Western Un
ion Telegruph company has been in
consultation with the Postmaster
General, and it is understood that a
compromise will be made as to tlie
price of Government messages. At
the department they refuse to talk
on the subject.
The Navy department has several
very interestiuganil complicated ques
tions, U> wqrry over just at this time.
First, there is tho big battle ship
“Tex s,”*»einr<built at the Norfolk
Navy Yard, which many experts con
tend will not float if completed by
the present plans; and as If that was
not enough, there are three new ves
sels the “Petrel, Vesuvius and Char-
leston-which altlioug completed have
for various defects not yet been ac
cepted by tho Government. The lot
of the Secretary of the Navy is not a
happy one.
It is now thought here that the ar
guments of Representative McKinley
have persuaded President Harrison
that no extra session of Congress
should bo called.
Tho National republican committee
lias shipped all of the documents it
lmil left over from the late Presiden
tial election to the four new States
for use in the coming campaign. Tho
citizens of tlie new States have my
sympathy.
Congress will never appropriate
money to buy ground in New York
or Chicago for the great Exposition
of 1892, when it owns right here in
Washington the best site in the coun
try, and it’s not five minutes walk
from Pennsylvania avenue. It is
to be a national and international
affair and must be held at the Nation
al capital.
Tlie Post office department offers a
reward of $1,000 for the arrest and
conviction Qf any mail robber.
The movement to make Reed the
next Speaker of the House is regard
ed by the most knowing republicans
as just as good as accomplished. The
other candidates will be given com
plimentary votes, but the bosses have
ordered that Reed be elected.
Five members of the cabinet are
now at their desks, but it is hardly
probably that they will stick very
close to business during this month.

has not forgotten how dearly he was

in this city a few years ago, has rent

Why Men Are Drunkards.
I do not propose to appeal to
man’s fears or attempt to bribe bxao
with a gift. The trouble with ons
religious teachers are, they hold
false lights to men atiil women to-gov
ern them in their actions in life. Tfcw
two of tho meanest motives in lifo w
fear, or the hope of a gift in doiugc
something. Life should be built up»a
principles, sound reason and just judg
uient.
I propose in tin's article to give ti*r
philosophy [of drunkedness, ami let
those given to drink think upon tb*
subject. Drunkenness is a disease tbaCi
Is where men drink daily and to ex
cess, and tlie system is diseased from
drink. I will call upon my readiug
explain why men drink to drunked-
ness, and so illustrate it that all wbci
read can understand.
In the first place, alcohol has ov
great affinity for the water in the ba»-
uian system, and consumes it rapkt9jr„
and hence, the thirst that one feato-
aii the time. To drink alcohol t»
quench such a thirst, Is like putt
wood od a lire to put it out, for tbe-
more one drinks the greater the••
thirst.
Secondly, alcohol is’ first an exes
taut, then a stimulant, and tbeD .at
narcotic according to the quantitjr
taken. Different temperaments reqaire
different quantities, if given tr? st-
physician. When drank for an exesi
taut or stimulant, nine times out of
ten the drinker will take too mueb.
Intemperance is first a habit, unldav
tlie disease inherited through fjttbmr
or mother, resolves itself into a nat
ural taste and desire. Then wo harrw
the dypsouianiac, who lias not ft h»t-
it. but a disease inherited. But
habit, it soon grows into a disease-,
anil there is the danger. It is a dis
ease of the nerve cells, or as a physi
cian would express it, a disease of fbaj
sensorial ganglia, distinct from tfa*'
brain and spinal cord.
If one drinks milk, or eats food, il
will tako from two to four hours •»>
pass through the digestive organs, ft*
taken up in tlie blood, and passed"
to the eellp, from which the brain Sm
fed, while if one drinks alcohol, it willt
go straight to the nerve cells in three
minutes. This shows that aloohoi is
not digested. It.Is not food. It ia j*
poisonous fluid which goes over ttie
sensitive nerves as electricity
over tlie wire. Alcohol stlmulaXeTP
artificially,- when the nerve c-eMb-
should be ’ stimulated arteri«)5v
through the blood. The philosophy
is plain and reasonable.
If the spirit part of ulcohoi'was till-
gested like milk, soup or food, tlie krd
ueys and liver would extr >ct from ii-
its poisonous properties, like tlie in
jurious salt from our food and wouDr
never reach tlie brain.
Alcohol is a fermented, distilleai
stimulant, with poison in it, and wh&n
one drinks liquor it goes straigidr.
to tlie nerve ceils; thence to-theey*
through the optic nerve; then to tar
brain, and mating one want to light.,
to talk, to be sociable, etc. Then fo
the spinal center limbering the bae .fe,
then to tlie muscular system, and fi
nally gets to the stomach, and vben
one becomes norcotically drank,.he it
then dead drunk.
Food goes just tlie opposite wajr;
food goes to tlie stomach first, tb«*
into tlie blooil, then to the heart, arwf
finally through the urteries to th.»
brain. Tims one sees at. once, thanS
alcohol acts witli poisonous effecil
upon tlie nerve cells, and in a alios*;
time a man is diseased all over and stS!
through. He drinks because he ca»
not help himself anil the more- Bw

and net produce instant death.
What madness, what folly, what
absurdity, for a young man to say to*-
can drink and disease himself and qpft
drinking whenever he pleases. Ptssic
ignorant young man, you are a foal
and do not know it, and therein ttss
your danger. A habit soon becosiet-
a disease, and the Booner you braafti
off the habit the better. When on*-
drinks and feels thirsty, let him po**3
pown water to supply that which tfae-
alcohol has drunk up and thus right}
