a compared with t'ie heritage of money
" being received by the new generation of
to-day In the North It Is as nothing.
The portion of education is scant. Lit
: eralure, science and art have been lit
' tie enriched 'at the South during the
laef one-third century. What, then of
, the parsing generation? Has It been
1 a failure. Far, far from it. When time
- , hat made plain what has been accom
plknt'ij In the South In the past Kilrty
three years, mankind will marvel at the
yeniui and endurance of Hs people. Its
' Inheritances might be enumerated as
i '- fellow:
i , The defeat of Its fathers in war.
A destroyed' labor system.
' ' Social anarchy-
Political anarchy.
Poverty.
' The earnest prejudice of the con
querors in war.
, ! It was burdened wltft an experiment
as to the practlcabili'ty of political
t equality with an Inferior and uneducat
ed race.
. It has been burdened with the pay
ment of about or.e-thlrd of a collossal
pension roll without receiving a cent in
v , return.
' The past generation has borne these
burdens as only the Anglo-Saxon race
Is capable of doing. It has stood a bul
wark against anarchy. Every man has
. been a soldier In t'als war of a genera
, - Hop, and every Anglo-Saxon household
has been guarded by one of t'lrege sol-
diers. Bjjf heroic conduct and steadfast
ly SfnWhSi-'' ' baa-.-.-ijiiob

world has albout died away. New sys-1
tems of labor and new systems of in
dustry.,have been created. Education
has been again put upon a successful
bases. A new Industrial system has been
founded and put in operation. Dignity
of' lab&r tyaa been established. The
monopoly of the production of cotton
; has been maintained. There has been i
"re-establishment of friendly relations
and confidence, between the people of
the North and South, Above all, the
Chlistian faith has been better main
tained and tburtfieR are better attended
In the South to-day than in any other
part of the United States.
While this fight of a third of a cen-
- tury Uas been going on for the preser
vation of a. social status Uyu the Latin
races pave failed to preserve in Cuba
and 0uth America and for the saving
of Anglo-Saxon civilization In the
South, the foundation has been laid for
a vast development of manufactures In
- cotton, Iron and lumber. Vast ad
. vantages" are now being turned over by
the passing to 'the coming generation.
Only a Utile a very little- part oMhe.se
"advantages ar in money, but thir
value is so great that tuey cannot be
measured in money. The opportunity
to make money ha just opened up and
17 the favorable conditions are the results
of the work of a generation of men end
Women who have borne with amazing
fortitude es heavy burdens as any peo
ple were ever called upon to bear. If
.. every young man entering business or
professional life to-day should build for
his parents a home and maintain them
for '.tie remainder of their lives, his
debt to them would never be fully paid,
even if the ordinary obligations of sons
to parents In normal conditions be omit
ted. The way is now clear for as good
business in the South as at tho North.
It Is clear for the people of both sec
tions to work together for mutual Inter-
est and advantage. The obligation of
the coming generation to the one pass-
;ing U'very great and t'he opportunity
'opened up to the youth to-day Is practi-
cally; without limitation.

New York. Sept. It To-day's session
of the Maset legislative committee was
certainly the stormiest and perhaps? the
most interesting ever held. No previ
ous day has ever witnessed the appear
anew on the stand of such an array of
prominent men Mayor.-- - VanWycJc,
Richard Croker, Edward Juterbach, of
the borough of Manhattan, aod Hugh
McLaughlin, of the borough of Brook
lyn. Richard Croker enlivened the
gest4on by- producing- a
document, which he handed to the re
porters present, but made no attempt
to get it before the committee in a for
mal way. It was an extract from the
opinion of the' Justices of the general
term, first department, ta the case " of
The People vs. Schooley. At the con
clusion of this opinion, Van Brunt, J.
P., concurring, condemned the action of
one or tne notaries, irranK moss, in
acknowledge a signature upon a mere
personal Introduction at the lime of the
execution of the paper to which the sig
nature was attached.
The Ramapo Water Company, the cor
poration anxious to obtain the $200,000,-
000 contract with the city of New York,
was the subject under Investigation.
Mayor Van Wyck, while on the stand.
Intimated that Mr. Moss was anxious
for a nomination for a position on the
Supreme bench. He said he would not
act on the Ramapo water case until It
tame befoiVhim officially. The mayor
added that Mr. Moss seemed to think
that Silas B. Uutcher, Levi P. Morton
and General Tracy were a "pack of
thieves." That was the first time ex-
Governor Morton's name has ever been
connected with the Ramapo Water
Company, and Mr. Moss pressed Mayor
aVn Wyck, for the purpose of ascer-
aining what the chief executive of New
York city knew about the stock in the
corporation possessed by the former
chief executive of the State. He was
enable to obtain any definite informa
tion. In fact, when closely interrogat
ed by Mr. Moss' the mayor retorted!
'None of your business," while Richard
Croker, under similar pressure, replied:
This is my private affair." Asked by
Mr. Moss if he did not consult a judge
of the Supreme Court aa to whether he
waa bound to obey a Mazet committee
subpoena, Mr. Croker replied: "No sir,
you're dreaming."
