"Uncle Tom's Cabin," the book upon which the late Harriet BeHier Stowe'8 fame rest f. Mrs Stowo is dead now. We have never said ought agAjnvtlwdi' and never will. But her book - -whether it did a great ser vice to the country or jnot, whether 'it freed the negro race or not, whether it w a s inspired as she suid it was or not was a series of chap- ten of misrepresentation; and the vaunted broad-mind ednessofthe Northern edit- itors should recognize it, e- ven though they praise the author and attribute to her book the sentiment against slavery that aroused . t h e North. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was overdrawn in the high est degree, the nuthor may have thought she knew what Ahe was writing about, but her representations ' of the condition of the negro is no better , than her representa tion of the negro dialect, which a negro himse'f would lifter recognize. The book goes on its mission througl;. out the world, even in Chini and Japan misrepresenting our people. Thousands have seen and will'see and will see it without seeing the negro or his former masters. If it did good once it does a world of evil now. The auth jr rests in th.e rest of eternity: her book will live for generations, though it must die, for a lie is never immortal. "Tho evil that men do lives after them The Baltimore American, Republican organ asks where the supporters of Bryan are going to get the money and organization to run their campaign?'' This is the gold idea of a campaign '"money and organization." The Dem ocrats do not expect to have money to run the campaign.
