Our northern brethren are very. Soor

Brother Talmage made the best talk
for usthat'a been made, and there's sone
comfort in 1t, though; I don't see 1as, how
we going TO do, US any particular, good.
We want our rights. We want onr GRID
pied soidiers' widows pensiobed justilike
them on the oaher side, &ndtI want Ictne
great man like DR. TaImage 20 get nm en-

said it before, I'm going to keep SAYING
1t, there ainttagoing to be any real peace
gntii we are put on an equality with ,eni
in every respect. When AM old man
makes will ard outs cat. aome of tho
children it always breaks up the, peace
ia thst family, and though they mnv
compromise like BillfVandstbuflt did
with Neil and his sisters, it don't restore
pateanal harmony by no,means.. nWo ase
