a Scheme TO Catch Conscripted
Gonfederates.
Special 70 The T-imes-Democrat.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Some sharp
ers, with their headquarters here, are
flooding the South with circulars adj
dressed to those who were conscripted
into the military service of the Confed-
eracy, and proffering for a considera-
ton to secure legislation from Congress
remunerating them for the time 30
spent and for wounds or other injuries
they may have received as soldiers.
The consideration asked is $5 down
and a reasonable per cent of the whole
amount secured. The argument upon
which the proposition is based is to the
effect that the Supreme Court having
held that the Union was never dissolv.
ed, bnt only an uprising of the people
of certain States took place, it remain
ed the duty of the government, On
every foot of its territory, to protect it's
citizens from the conscripting officers
of its public enemies.
IT is difficult to believe that any
great number Of people could be caught
by such a transparent fraud, although
if only a comparatively small number
of those addressed should favorably
respond, the rascals would be munif-
Gently repaid for their trouble.

Rev. Lawrence M. Colfeit. d. D., OF
Oxford Presbyterian Church, Philadel-
phia, in a lecture to some 800 young
men Tuesday, in that city, said among
other things: sThere is no man with
good health and good parts who can't
secure an independence in a land like
this. If you are of the right sort and
have manhood of the real stuff you
need not a single help of an outside
character. Ifyou haven't, then outside
help will be of no assistance to you.
There are three things beside money
necessary for a young man to begin
life with-sound health, sound sense
and a sound character. If you have
these three You have all the capital you
want. Nobody but a weakling needs
patronage. Be your own patron. You
have three of the best friends in this
world-your health, your brains and
your character. The next secret of
prosperity that ] would mention is
work. Luck is clear against the young
ma who becomes a professional loung-
er. Another secret is cheerfulness.
There never were better times than
these. There never were such magni-
cent opportunities in the history of the
world as are reckoning You tonight
from every side. Another secret of
prosperity is patience. We are always
trying to take some short cut across
the dominions of the sworn foe to this
angel, Patience. Everybody has his
hand id, or is itching to get bis hand
In, speculation. What we want is pa
thence. But probably the greatest se-
eret of prosperity is economy. If you
can but start with this principle you
are on the road to fortune

The Republicans of the North have
been taught to believe that the negroes
in the South do nothing from years
end to years end but wait for an OPP
portunity to vote the Republican tick
ct. They have been taught to believe
that a negro vote is a Republican vote,
and the result is that they expect the
Republican vote in the South to tally
with the number of negro voters. ln
short, they regard the negro as some
new sort of human being, whose mo-
tives and intentions are different from
those of other human beings, in that
they are for the Republican party at
all times and under all circumstances

SENATOR BLACKBURN on ClylL-SEH

Eass Carroll Democrat. I

Ssntor Blackburn Of Kentucky, has
recently given his views on civil
service reform, and they do not differ
very widely from those of Mr.. Eustis
and ether scout and out" Democrats.
He says:
"rhe civil service reform l want Is,

This seems 10 us to have tho ring of
of the true metal, and to DO genuine
orthodox Democracy. We may he In
error, hut we claim that the last Presi.
Dental campaign was Democratic
victory and rs such, Democrats have n
right to such positions as tho govern
mcnt affords.
Our idea OF Democracy is u govern
mcnt Of the people, and il tho pcople
elect maui tie Is in duty bound to
lavor their policy. The idea of keeD
ing man in Office because he is n goot,
Republican is all bosh. a good Repuh-
lican is unfit for Office, for If he he 4
good Republican,, he will forward tho
interest OF his own party, and thus be
Il bone OF contention in tho Democratic
ranks. We believe in "giving quar-
tcr,' but only sufficient quarter for tho
cnctny to barry their dead, and hurry
Off the field. The success In a battle
consists principally in taking the field,
and to furnish our political enemies
with powder and ball and a long gun
(onicH( to fight It's on the same field, is
an act Of folly.
The smiik and water" policv or
making up n government Of two t,ar-
ties whose methods arc diamctricallv

structive to any party. The Democratic
party have struggled for more than a
score OF years to get possession of tho
governmcnt-for what? Are VIC to
sit still and see 1t administered by nm
opposite party? We thought a change
was what was desired, ana that change
was to bea ,"'lic0t one-one that should
work II complete reform throughout jts
entire extent. If the government is to
be administered by the two parties con.
jointly, then Mr.. Cleveland should
have given the opposite party repre-
sentatlon i'll his Cabinet. This may be
said to be carrying the principle too far.
Perhaps it is, and it may DO carrying
II too far to allow good Republicans to
hold less important Offices. We claim
that II the principle was carried out
throughout the whole system the Dom
ocratic government would be a farce
and unworthy OF the historic record of
the grand old party that has existed for
more than four scorc years.
