II ia TO be noted, however, that another OF
Mr.. Warmers impressions comes violently INTO
collision with the impression under considera-

The people who thus recognize the moral training Oh

hetter era for the South Is at hard, would not for
moment put themselves in attitude of apology for the
mart they took in tho war. confess that they were
wrong nor oln in any denuncaon OF the leaders they
followed TO their sorrow.
II is palpable contradiction to argue that
peOpIe who would not for moment put them

Another of these impressions of the South
relates to the negro. The italics are ours

There is no installing the significance of this.
The negro is To he DISTINGUISHED by manage
