historical Lies

.-..TheTe Is a greater mingliug Oh
the imaginative with yerItahle history
than l. known to many. The most
stubborn OF all errors are those which
have grown 10 be heirlooms III the popu-
lar heart-which have been handed
down from generation to generation I'M
til they have come TO be generally ac-
cepted as part Of the annals OF a coun-
try, a people, or a cause.
Thus, to cite a few examples, when it
is stated that Hannibal never poured
oil and vinegar on the Alps to melt their
rocky barriers, that C~leopatra's Needle
was not erected BY the Egyptian queen
nor in her honor, that Pompey's Pillar
had no historical connection with the
great general. and that William Tell
possesses no right to be styled the De-
liverer Of Switzerland, in. each case a
fondly cherished belief IS punctured. and
no little sense of loss experienced by
many worthy folk.
Ia the realm Of anecdote the ruthless
pen Of the candid and impartial chroni-
cier obliterates many a treasured phrase
or "winged word from history's stored
page. Who has not read, says one, in
the narrative Of the execution Of Louis
Sixteenth, the beautiful and appropriate
sentence calculated by the pious Able
EdgewOrth when the unhappy monarch
stood in the shadow OF the guillotine:
son of st. LOUIS, ascend to heaven -
The most callOus on reading these words
have been touched to the heart, and few
have questioned the accuracy of the re-
cOrl. The worthy father must have so
spoken. Not only do all the important
historians OF the French Revolution, NJ.
Theirs included. vouch for the accuracy
of the scene. but in the howell and in the
palace, in the home OF the republican or
OF the royalist, every one takes these
words of the able for a historic truth.
Nevertheless that worthy priest declared
publicly in writing, forty years ago, that
the phrase was a pure invention, and that
he never uttered it on the scatlold of the
Place de la Revolution"
What intense admiration has been
felt for the stubborn adherence of the
ala astronomer to the Copernlcan
theory of the universe, though forced to
sign a declaration to the contrary before
the bl~ood-thirsty Inquisition. Yet it is
highly improbable, to'say the least, that
Calico ever said. The world moves,
nevertheless '" The inventor OF the
exclamation is not known. According
to Professor HE'S, the phrase first APP
peared in the DictiOnndire HStoriqae,
published at Caen in 1889. Another
critic, however, Professor Grisar, traces
it back as far as the year l774, when
the saying first appears in its current
form: "Galileo was not in earnest nor
steadfast in his recantation. He rose
hastily when he realized that he had
sworn falsely, stamped his foot, and eX-
claimed E pm 81 mHore :" But none
of his contemporaries makes mention
of this exclamation, says a writer in the
London 4cademy, land it is not likely
that, under the circumstances in which
Calico appeared before his Judges, he
could have had the audacitv or even the
energy to his confession by so
bold a revocation, and it can not be
taken as a historical fact.

WITH THE PEOPLE.

The Republican party in the future as
in the past will be for and with the pso-
pie. Composed as il Of the great middle
class the producers and manufacturers
lit could not be otherwise, and on all
questions Of importance the people al
ways know where to find 1t, as it has a
defined and settled policy. On two quss-
tions that are now occupying consider
able attention throughout the state the
Lansing Republican has the following,
and its position is unqualiHsdly endors-
ed by The TRIBUNE;
The Republican mombsrs of the Mich
igan lss islature will plant themselves
squarely on tina principle Of opposition
to the importation of foreign labor ua-
der contract. step in keeping with the
plank OF the National platform which
says: "The Republican party having its
birth in hatred Of slave labor and q de-
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1885-02-05

sire that all men be truly free and
equal, is unaltsrably opposed to placing
our werkingmen In competition with
any form of ssrvils labor whether at
homo or abroad. In this spirit we de-
nOunce the Importation of contract Ia
Dor. whether from Europe or Asia, as an
Offense againt the spirit of American in
situations, and we pledge ourselves TO
sustain the present laws restricting Chi
nose immigration and to provide such
farther legislation as is necessary to
carry out its purposes" There is an
other thing, also, on which the members
stand almost unit, and that Is TO al
low the people, whom respectable min
GRITTY ask to pass upon any question OF
general importance, to vote upon con-
stitutiOnal amendment, 10 the end that
the majority may rule. As more than
100000 names have graced petitions ask
ing that a prOhibitsry amendment be
submitted to tho people. as q matter OF
justice we expect to see greater part
Of the Republican members vote aye on
resolution submitting this mueh-vex-
cd question to vote OF the people. The
day is coming, and is not far distant
when the party whish attempts to stlhe
the voice of the people. will be itself
strangled, and that is not all deserves to
be. The Democratic party as a party
has been an obstruction to the submits
sion Of prOhibitory amendment, while
the Republican party as d party backed
by right and precedent. believes that the
question shOald be settled at the ballot
box. When the time conner tke res0lu-
tiODs requesting congress to pass the
F0ran bill prohibiting the importation
Of foreign labsr under contract, and sub
mittiag prOhibtory amsndman+ to the
people, should receive solid Republican
