EDWARD STANTON MACLAY, IN HIS SO CALLED HISTORY OF THE NAVY, Make the Latest Assault Upon the Hero of Santiago A Mean, Scurri lous Attack Full of Prevarication and Defamation of Character Made for Partisan Purposes Doing the Bidding of Vile Clique of Naval Offi cers Who Have Conspired Against the Bravest Man of Them All. Wilmington Messenger. Edgar Stanton Maclay is bis name. He is the latest and vilest slanderer and enemy of the great naval hero of this country Admiral Schley, the Southron. What has Maclay done? He has published a so-called "History of the United States Navy." It is a mean, villainous tissue of falsehoods aud defamation of character. In the third edition of this Book of Slander the dirty author charges the brave Schley with cowardice. Here is a sample of the mischievous lies told: "The one great lesson that Nelson gave in naval strategy was 'that a uc,Ci ou, o, p,.s, .on wnen , alongside an enemy.' Jarragut's great ax.om, s.xty years later, was , i. ..r-.ci ju Ket to me enemy i the harder you can strike.1 Schley1 reat contribution to naval strategy. as too plainly shown by his conduct throughout this campaign, was 'avoid your euemy as long as possible, and he makes for you, run. This work was regarded very favor- blv, as really a standard history. ntil the lying third volume, after being doctored by the vindictive, per secuting, prevaricating enemies of the great seaman. It is known that a vile clique of naval officers have conspired . to make this cowardly assault upon ! the greatest man of them all. Hear these varlets saying through the pliant Maclay I he shameful spectacle of an American warship supported by a force superior to the enemy s a war- hip whose commander had expanded uch vast quantities of ammunition n target practice in the presence of a fashionable hotel at Hampton Roads n order to meet a worthy foe -delib erately turning tail aud running away was presented. How very low, and dastardly and nsoient, and false have these crea tures fallen to conspire to have intro duced such cruel, detestable false- toods upon a gallant, splendid naval commander. Schley is a great victim of slanders and vituperation, and it i without any palliation or remotest semblance of justification. The Bal- imore Sun considers one aspect of he controversy that is imprtssive. t says: "If the American fleet had been de feated and the responsibility for its defeat had been placed unanswerably upon the man who was in actual com mand of it on that occasion, be could not have been more bitterly assailed and reviled than he has been since treacherous fortune gave him the op portunity to glorify his country. If we are to measure his achievement by the estimate placed upon it by partisan newspapers and envious pro fessional critics, we might also con clude that so far as his personal repu tation is concerned anything else would have succeeded better than success. J?ew men ever paid a moie severe penalty, in the way of unde rt B served reproach and violent attack, for serving their country successfully than he has." It is very doubtful if in the whole annals of naval warfare there has ever been so despicable and devilish a conspiracy to ruin, to destroy the good name splendid achievements of a superb hero. British naval records are tilled with contemptible and ras cally jealousies and slights, but noth- ing comparaDie to ine persistent, satanic warfare on Admiral Schley. Secretary Long, no friend of Schley's, has put his ban on the slander, and orders all of the obnoxious language of the book concerning the hero oi Santiago Bay to be eliminated. He states that he did not see all oi tne firoofs to the condemned volume, lere is what Maclay says, who holds a government position, as reported from Washington in the Baltimore Herald, Republican: "He admitted, however, that while Admiral Schley was chairman of the Lighthouse Board he had tried to get a nlaee in the service and failed. He said he had no animus against the admiral. 'Schley is a coward,1 the historian is quoted as saying, 'and while I like him very much, I will not retract any of the statements made until they nave been controverted by a competent authority.' 'At the Navy ueparimeni it is hol considered that Mr. Maclay is ame nable to the same sort of discipline as a subordinate officer in the navy would be who undertook to criticise his superiors in the reckless and in- temperate manner oi 3iaciay m nis history." Sampson, where is he and what is he doing about this graceless assault? Representative Mudd is a member of the Naval Committee. He is in Wash ington and has been interviewed by the corresponaeni oi mo uainuiuic Sun. He said tnat oecreiarv ixjug would do right. He said: "I think that a man who has shown himself such a conspicuous villifier and falsifier of facts as Maclay has just shown himself to be is not a tit man to be the official historian for the students of our Naval Academy of one of the most Important epochs in the history of our country. As a member of the Naval Com mittee and the sawommiuee on Naval Academy, in which it goes without saying. I think, I have taken some interest, I shall very cheerfully support, or, if need be, originate, action to prevent the use of any such unfair and glaringly false statement of historic events as Maclay is trying to get before the Academy and the country. "I haTe always deprecated the at- tempt to use Schley's name for bun- combe or cheap political claptrap, as I have sometimes seen done; but the persistently unfair treatment ami in spired slander of Schley in depart mental circles have grown to be con temptible and cowardly and a halt must be called in it." A dispatch from New York to the Washington Post, states that a clique of Sampsonites wish Schley to call for an inquiry. They wish to pack the court so they can gat a victory over the hero. Mr. G. E. Graham, of Albany, N. Y., who was war corres pondent on the ship Brooklyn, says that "Maclay has been induced to so fiercely assault Schley that the latter would be compelled to ask for a court of inquiry. Then the Sampson-Evans-Crowinshield-Chadwick crowd would get such a board appointed as would make it appear that Sampson was re sponsible for the defeat of Cervera. "Maclay gives the whole scheme away when he says that 'Admiral Schley should ask for a court of in quiry.1" Neither Captains Chad wick nor Clark nor Cook nor Philips, all in the light, had any hand in revising this most foul book of lies. Mr. Graham says, pertinently: "If they are going to court-martial sonjebo(ly wh don,t th t g SQ1 tf) J wh ' he dU1 nota, sa ff SaBtiag0f Jbut depleted his battle - , b MmUnfr sh:ns fiftv away lo coalr Ask him why he left the battle line with the fast cruiser New York to chase schooners for prize money? Ask him why he never said a word or signaled a word of praise to officers or men after the tiht, although Schley asked him to?" Secretary Long said of the text book that "I readily admit that the value of Mr. Maclay's work as a his torian has been very greatlv impaired -j p r j i by the prejudice ance of hisJianj,Utte in the treatment of A(lniinil Schlev's portion of the iiiii t n - intAmnar. West Inilian campaign. Schley is calm, self-contained, watching. He is on deck, better known than ever and more believed in. The Charleston News and Courier says it is "another victory for Schley," and informingly says that his ene mies "damned him for the famous loop1 movement at Santiago. Secre tary liOng now says that Captain Cook was wholly responsible for it. "The interesting feature of the present Schley revival is that it shows how 'history1 is made in this country. It is often written to order or for a Eurpose. not for the sake of truth, ancrofs history was changed to suit conditions. McMaster was dis covered in error which was to the dis advantage of one part of our common country, and Andrews had experience of a distinctly unpleasant character in Chicago." It seems that Maclay 'a books were adopted as text books at the Naval Academy, but the third volume is not used. Sampson read the proofs of those villainous slanders. He will stand by the record. He richly de serves to be dismissed from the navy for he is a fraud of the first magni tude. IF YOU COULD KNOW. The Cosmopolitan. If you could know the half of all I yearn to be to you, Dear Heart? Each day that dawns I struggle to be strong and do my part; Yet, when at last night comes softly down, 1 humbly pray Lord, grant .me still to prove my tender love, just one more day. Just one more day to strive to rise above small troubles, petty cave. That my cramped soul may break its earth-fogged bonds, at least to dare To face the future and to gladly live with courage new, Loyal and cheerful, facing toward the light for truth and you. And yet I feel in spite of all the heights which I ean never scale. In spite of all the many tests in which 1 daily fail. That my deep love, more deep and pure and strong than I can ever show, You somehow, through my failure, doubts and fears, will come to know. The dreary clouds can't hide the sun for aye, it glimmers tnrougn; The sweet, wet violet, struggling through dead leaves, still show9 its blue, And so I trust, though oft 1 strike love's chord with clumsy hand, You feel the melody I tried to play, and understand. NERVOUS troubles are cured by Hood's Sarsaparilki, which en riches and purities the blood. It is the best medicine for nervous PEOPLE. A Sunshiny Woman. Christian Work. What a blessiug to a household is a merry, cheery woman one whose spirits are not affected by wet days or little disappointments, or whose ceaseless kindness does not sour in the sunshine of prosperity! buch a woman in the darkest hours brightens the house like a piece of sunshiny weather. The magnetism of her smiles and the electrical brightness of her looks and movements infect every one. Her children go to scho with a sense of something great to be achieved; her husband goes into the world in a conqueror's spirit. No matter how people annoy and worry him all day, far off her presence shines and he whispers to himself, At home I shall rind rest." So day bv dav she literally renews his strength and energy; and if vou know a man with a beaming face, : kind heart and a prosperous business in nine cases out of ten vou will find he has a wife of this kind. The fellow who wears his trousers turned up at the bottom evidently believes that one good turn deserves another. The plaguo is again appearing in China. But the Chinese think even the plague is some relief from an army of Christian allies.

The Exposition City Delighted to Greet Representatives of the Em pire State of the South Alabama Marble Said to be Equal to that of Cararra Commissioner Poole Ros coe Gorman's Effective Work In teresting Reminiscences Col. John Bell Brownlow, of Tennessee Hon. S. A. Knapp Louisiana Rice Kitchen (Special Correspondence of the Gold Leaf.) Buffalo, N. Y., July 29, 01. The representatives from the Empire State of the South, about 150 strong, completely captured the Pan-Ameri can Exposition. The speeches in the lemple of Music were unusually line. Mr. II. H. Cabiniss, of the Atlanta Journal, made an ideal presiding officer. His distinguished presence and dignified manner immediately produced a fine impression. Mr. Coleman, President of the Weekly Georgia Press Association, iustified the reputation Dixie enjoys as being the home of oratory. Hon. R. F. Wright, representing the Governor of a State, made a notable speech that bristled with statistics, showing the marvelous resources of Georgia. The scholarly Col. Hemphill, of the Con stitution, made a brief but eloquent address. Mr. Stovall, of the Savannah Press, made a very fine speech while Kev. Sam Small electrified the audience of over 5,000 people that thronged the lemple of Music. It was "Georgia Day"1 in every sense of the word. "Dixie11 and other South ern melodies could be heard from one end of the Esnlanado to the other. rhesc were always received with applause, i ho melody of these aus of the Southland mingled as naturally with splash of the fountains, fed by the waters of the Great Lakes of the North, as if no armies had ever worn the "gray and the blue.11 Mr. Cole man in his speech made a beautiful reference to the part the South had borne in the late war, mentioned Capts. Harris and Hobson's services in Cuba and the Philippines, and dwelt on the fraternal feeling that now prevailed in every part of our section. It will be remembered that Capt. Harris, U. S. A., of Georgia, is in charge of the War Department Exhibit here and that Capt. Hobsou, u. S. A., of Alabama, is on special duty here for Navj' Department in connection with the Pan-American Exposition. A few weeks ago a . famous New York sculptor visited the Pan-Ameri can Exposition and was especially attracted by the whiteness and fine grain of a block of marble in the Ala bama exhibit. He examined it close ly and immediately wrote to the quarry for mlormation. I he result is Mr. Koscoe Gorman, the able com missioner from Alabama, has had several visits from other sculptors and a demand is already created for the marble of Alabama. It is well known that the famous sculptors paid a great deal of attention to the qual ity of the marble they used. It is a historical fact that the father and grandfather of Phidias were sculptors and handed down to their illustrious descendants the secret of the location of a quarry of pure white marble on the island of Paros, to the purity and quality of which they attributed much of their fame. If Alabama marble should stand the test to which it is now being submitted in New York by several sculptors,' Mr. Gor man says she can furnish all the sculptors in the United States with all they will want for many genera tions. Experts say the Alabama marble is equal to the finest brought from Cararra or Paros. Commis sioner Poole is very much grati fied with this, as well as with the most admirable way in which the Ala bama exhibit has been installed and looked after on the Pan-American nrrnii nrl o Mr. Gorman has made a friend of everybody and has lost no opportun ity to make the most of Alabama's re sources. Mr. Poole says: "Our lumber is also attracting con siderable attention. We are daily re ceiving letters from all over the North making inquiries about our farm and timber lands, and I believe that Ala bama will reap a harvest by the small investment of a f5,000 exhibit at this Exposition. I desire to call attention to all Alabamians who de sire to visit the Exposition to be sure and call at the Alabama exhibit, where there are two of the most intel ligent young men of Alabama ready and willing to inform you m regard to rates, hotels, locations and board ing houses. Alabama has a most beautiful exhibit and the papers of the North are commenting on it very favorably." Col. J. B. Brownlow, Representative of the Post Office Department at the Pan-American Exposition recalls a significant circumstance with refer ence to the South in connection with the mail service. He says: "When the war of 1861 began monev was due citizens in all the seceded States for carrying the mails Lnder resolution of Congress pay ment was forbidden except where parties having claims could prove continuous and unconditional loyalty to the Union. Several years ago Congress rescinded this resolution and provided that in all cases pay ment sdould be made without refer ence to the question of lovalty or dis loyalty. Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of the Confederacy,' sup ported Douglas for President in 1860 After the election and before Goorgia seceded Mr. Stephens wrote a letter to Hon. Stephen A. Douglas. He never received a reply- He said him self he was satisfied his letter was not permitted to go through the mails to Georgia else he would have received a response. Before Tennessee seceded letters of W. G. Brownlow lo George D. Prentice of the Louisville Courier- Journal and other men within the States which did not secede were opened in East Tennessee post offices and sent to the Confederate authori ties at Nashville. Of this fact Col. Brownlow has indubitable proof. The postal clerks on the line of East Ten nessee and Georgia Railroad threw large packages of the Knoxville Whia nto the rivers of East Tennessee as the train passed, saying, 'No Lincoln ite newspapers should be circulated.' i is proper to add tnat wnen my father made complaint to Hon. John H. Reagan, of Texas, the Postmaster- General in Mr. Davis1 cabinet, he strongly condemued the outrage. My father never believed Judge Rea gan capable of countenancing any violation of the law regarding the mails. The course of the Confederate Postmasters in East Tennessee re ferred to was not without precedent. While Jackson was President the bstmaster of Charleston, S. C. re used to deliver to subscribers anti- lavery publications and in so doing was sustained by Postmaster-General Amos Kendall, a Connecticut Yankee, a Northern man with Southern prin ciples, as his enemies called him. These reminiscences of postal service the South in 1801 illustrate the truth of the adage inter anna leges ilent.11 Prof. S. A. Knapp, LL. D., of Louisi ana, is in liutlalo on his way to the Philippines as a special envoy of the Department of Agriculture. He is very much pleased with the Lxposi- iou and is especially interested in the Louisiana and Texas Rice Kitchen. rof. Knapp is a graduate of Union ollege, New York. He was for several years President of the Iowa State College. In 1878 he visited Japan, China and the Philippines as the Representative of the United States Government. In 1900 he was sent by the Department of Agricul ture as Special Commissioner to Porto Rico under act of Congress to nvestigate the Agricultural condi- ions there. The mission on which he is now starting is to introduce for age plants into the Philippines and bring back from various countries seeds and plauts to the United States that will be of practical value to our farmers. Prof. Knapp said today to your correspondent: Somethtng like fifteen years ago the culture of rice with modern ma chinery was introduced on the prairies of Southwestern Louisiana. All the modern implements and ma chinery employed on the large wheat helds of the Northwest have there been successively used. From Louisi ana it has gradually extended to Texas. The Gulf Coast Rice belt is the only portion of the world where machinery is extensively used in the cultivation of rice. With the employ ment of machinery some difficulties arose. The same care in the maturing and handling of the grain could not be exercised as was formerly the case by the hand process. As "a result, the breakage in the milling of rice was a large item, creating a loss of from twenty to forty per cent, in the gross value of the product. Three years ago the Department of Agricul ture attempted to remedy this diffi culty by the means of the importation of rices better adapted to cultivation under the machinery plan. We intro duced a variety of the Japanese rices known as the Kiushu. Ihis almost entirely remedied the difficulty that had formerly prevailed, lhe result was so gratifying to the Department mar. i am now going again to see o O D what rices can be found in the old world that will be still better adapt ed to the rice belt of the South. 'I also have a mission to secure other plants advantageous to the United States and particularly any eguminous plants for forage pur poses, it is a part ot my mission to go to the Philippines in the interest of forage crops for our cavalry and draft animals in those Islands. All the forage for the support of these animals has been and is still export ed from the United States at an ap proximate oost of $1,300,000. The Philippine Islands are well adapted to the production of forage and it is only necessary to introduce the right varieties oi grasses and get them started under proper auspices to pro duce all the hay and green fodder re quired. Then I anticipate visiting India and other rice producing coun tries to get such varieties as are adapted to the various soils and the climatic conditions in the United States, and I am desirous of getting forage plants that are especially adapted to the sandy soils of the pine woods districts of the Southern States. Rice from an economic stand point is a cereal of great value to a the people of the United States, from the great ease with which it is digest ed and the large per cent, of nutri tive value it contains, and should consequently enter the daily menu of our entire population. Again it can be produced upon lands that are now considered waste. There are enough lands along the Gulf ('oast and the Atlantic Coast now idle, which can be devoted to rice and produce all the rice that we consume in our entire country. It is a common impression that the production of rice is limited to semi-tropical countries. Ihis is an error. There are varieties of rice that will mature as far North as Bos ton. Again, rice is one of the most certain crops of all the grain family With proper conditions the crop is almost absolutely sure. Consequent ly it is the cereal to be used in coun tries of dense populations. It is reasonable to conclude that rice will bear a more important mission in the support of our people in the future than it has in the past, and it is ex ceedingly necessary to obtain the best varieties of rices, those that are the most nutritive, have the highest value and are the most profitable for pro duction. "The object of the Rice Association of America in establishing the Rice Kitchen at the Pan-American Exposi tion was to impress the public with the fact that rice can be used so ad vantageously with the common foods of our people that it will add mater ially to the healthfulness of those who consume it. It will improve their digestion, increase their vigor What are the Facts? QUESTION AS TO THE NUMBER OF TROOPS NORTH CAROLINA FURNISHED To the Confederate Army la the Great War for Southern Independence ! Attention Called to What Is Evi dently a Grave Error flaj. Neath ery's Figures Much Below the Real Number What the Roster of State Troops and the Federal War Records Show Let's Get History Straight. Wilmington Messenger. An article that apiieared iu the Charlotte Observer, which we did not sec, is copied into the Richmond Dis patch. It is great disparagement of North Carolina in the war between the States. It gives what purports to be a correct list of strength of the North Carolina regiments, and was furnished bv the late Major John B. Neathery, of Raleigh, "who was dur ing the war a clerk in the capitol. i made up for Governor Yance a state ment of the strength of each of the State regiments when turned over to the Confederacy and in January, 1887, day or two after Governor ance took office again as Governor, Major Neatherv gave me the original docu ment.11 Now, if Major Neathery "s figures are correct, then what. He gives 80,0 )0 troops only, save ouc. If that be correct, then there has been a vast deal of ignorance and bragging, and the grand old State did no better than other States in proportion to popula tion. But are Mr. Neatherv-1s .figures correct? Did North Caroliua fall 45,000 behind the supposed correct number of troops? Wc respectfully submit this. Governor Yance caused to be pre pared a roster of the North Carolina troops while the war was progressing. Major James II. Foote, still living, had much to do with the work, as we have long understood. What will he say to that 80,000 limit? Then Governor Vance, the greatest of war Governors by odds, in a speech lelivered at the White Sulphur Springs before the Confederate vet erans, many years alter tne war, sta ted that North Carolina furnished 125.000 soldiers in the war. Such is our recollection, it he was so very gnorant as to claim 45,000 more sol diers than were really furnished, then it was the duty of Major Neathery to have informed him of the facts and supplied him with the precise figures. Governor Vance was a most honorable and truthful man and would not lie. for glory, or to play the part of brag gart. Was he in error? We have never examined the roster. have never seen a copy even. We iard long ago that it contained over 131,000 names. We heard farther that many names were repeated twice, and some perhaps cover three times. We had supposed that 5,000 or 6,000 errors had occurred, and we have generally placed the number of troops at 120,000, making allowance lor errors. How many docs the ros ter show? Does the historv of the regiments recently written under the highly pa triotic editorship of Mr. Justice Walter Clark (he not charging a cent lor it and his great undertaking in completing the editing of the colossal Colonial Record), authorize the state ment that North Carolina did not fur nish the troops claimed heretofore but only 80,000? We shall not be lieve it until further evidence is forth coming than Mr. .Neathery s ligures. In 1860, according to "The Confed erate Hand-Book, prepared by the late Colonel Robert C. Wood, of the cavalry C. S. A., and published last year in New Orleans, the military population of North Carolina was llo,oG'J. It never voted, we think, more than ll'J.oOO in the Governor s eleotion in 160. We fail to find a statement as to what North Carolina furnished. It gives the following losses for this State: Killed in battl.-, 077 officers; l:i,45 nen total, 1,'2. and will be found generally econo mical. It is especially valuable for people engaged in sedentary pursuits as its digestion is so slight a tax on the digestive organs. It seemed rj necessary that we should have an ocular demonstration of the vajue of rice, because in a large portion of the United States rice is considered simply a dessert whereas the great value of rice is a staple food and should be used as a substitute for potatoes and and for other carbonace ous foods. I am greatly gratified with the marked success the Rice Kitchen has attained ami with the generous patronage that is given it bv the public. The plan upon which the Rice Kitchen is organized is that of an American home with such foods as the masses of the people ordinar ilv use and find nutritious and health ful. It is the purpose to mingle rice with these foods, either as an entire dish or as a component part of the dish, to season and cook in the be3t way and serve in good form so as lo demonstrate what a home can do in the consumption of rice. In this particularly the American Association has been singularly fortunate in the (j0j : L selection of its managers. Eggleston, the general Manager, is a aa. a no man of wide experience in Business and in hotel work. Miss Ella Whit . ..... ley Gould, a native of Louisiana and a graduate of the Greater New York School of Cookery, is in charge of the culinary department, and also gives lessons in cooking or the demonstra tion of rice in the forenoon and after noon each day. She is a lady who has had a large experience and i3 peculiarly adapted to such work. With the aid of her accomplished assistant. Miss Waterbury, every thing connected with the Kitchen is given an exquisite touch. I am quite surprised as well as gratified at the universal praise given the Kitchen by all parties who have visited it and partaken of meals and have heard no criticisms.'' CHARLES EDWAUI LLOYD.

Now. would it not be the most re- mnrt'lilf tvonl in lha ui-ra rt thousand years if North Carolina lost over 41,000 men out of a total of 000? The great loss sustained proves conclusivelv that she must have had 120.00(Vor more. In that number ahe lost over one-third a far greater loss than an v other State sustained. Vir- ginia's total is 14,791. Can the "War Records" of the Federal Government, as well as the statement of the Con federate Hand-Rook, be so far out of the way? If with but 80,000 men in service during the four years, 41.0OQ perished in war, then her record for fighting ami mortality is most mar vellous among the nations. North Carolina has not desired anything but justice and truth. LYMAN ABBOTT'S VIEWS ON THE SOUTH. Baltimore Sun. At the present time the people of the North arc giving a great deal of time to a discussion of affairs in the Southern States, and the negro in the South of course occupies a prominent position iu the discussion. It is en couraging to see that many Northern men of intelligence have been isit ing the South and have carried home with them much valuable informa tion. Among other tourists the Rev. Lyman Abbott has gathered some facts which he told at a public meet ing in Brooklyn the other day. Dr. Abbott called attention to the fact that while the North has sent $30, 000,000 to the Southern States for the education of the negro, the South itself, out of its jwverly, has spent $120,000,000 for that purpose. If there is any prejudice against the negro in the South, or any hostility toward him, this does not look like it, as Dr. Abbott justly remarked. The war and reconstruction left the South bankrupt aud it took years to recuperate. For this condition and for the condition of the negro the North was responsible. The North gave the right of suffrage to the negro and then left mainly to the white people of the South, bankrupt as they were, the burden of educatiug bim for the ballot. This burden the North should in justice have shared to a far greater degree than it has. Discussing conditions in the South Dr. Abbott said: "The negro in the little log cabin in the South is better off than the negro in the North in a tenement with fifty more of his kind. "Let us getaway from the notion," he added, "that the South can't be friend ly to the negro because they don't regard the negro as we think they ought to and as we would not regard the negros if we were living sur rounded by them as they are. We must get rid of the idea that all men are equal and that, every man has an equal right to stand where everybody else does." Many other gentlemen oT intelli gence who have visited the South in recent times have gone back to the North and have told the people there these same things and the news papers have published what they said. A correct understanding may be slow in coming, but it will come finally. There has been talk in the North among the politicians about punishing the South for disfranchis ing negroes. Maryland even was threatened with the loss of a portion of its representation in Congress and its electoral vote because it was be lieved that difficulties had been put in the way of the illiterate voter, not withstanding that the right of Massa chusetts to disfranchise its illiterate vote absolutely was conceded. But nothing has come of all these threats. Wise counsels so far have prevailed. It may be that the idea of building up a Republican party in the South is a delusion. Whatever the people of the South may think of high tariffs and expansion and fchip subsidies, there can be no Republican party in the South as long as Northern interfer ence makes the race issue paramount and renders it necessary for the white people to unite in order to prevent a return of the reconstruction era and negro domination. Self-preservation is the first law; after that is estab lished then people may have time to talk about turiH and subsidies. CURES RHEUMATISM OR CATARRH THROUGH THE BLOOD - COST8 NOTHING TO TRY.
