JEFF DAVIS AS AN ISSUE.


Unrcpentant and Defiant, "tho Ex-
President" Says He "Don't Care What
Yankees say"-A Blaze for Campaign
Purposes--"Let Patriots Judge Him
md U.s."
ASSOCIATED Press dispatch, May 81
Mr.. Dayis's trip from this city (Savan-
nah, Ga.) TO Albany was the signal for the
collection OF crowds at all stations where
the train stopped, and several speeches
were made. At Hamerville some one In
the crowd cried "We're proud Of the man
who always did his duty" Mr.. Davis an
swered, ~ always tried 10 do my duty, and
II the people of the south think did my
duty am satisfied, and don't care what
Yankees cay. have nothing to ask from
them, not even a pardon, for he who seeks
pardon must profess repentance. have
not repented. The only thing that / am
sorry for ls that we did not succeed. II
Yankee comes south and behaves himself
we are glad to have him.
'LET PATRIOTS JUDGE HIM AND Us.n
charleston News and Courier.1
Tho reproaches heaped upon the south
In his name have been borne In patience
and almost in silence until now. The an
swer has been long DELAYED, but II is made
at last In tones that will ring through the
world and sound In the ears OF the future
historian and Of all future generations.
That answer is that Jefferson Davis repre-
sented the whole people who committed
their destinies and hopes to his keeping;
that the south holds his good name, unfair
nished by any word or deed In his whole
grand life, as dear as It's own; that between
his motives and theirs, hts honor aud
theirs, his fame and theirs, no false line
shall be drawn. Success would have placed
him In the Pantheon OF the worlds greatest
heroes, defeat has enshrlned his beloved
name forever In the hearts OF his country
men, and in the heart Of every patriot OF
whatever land, who shall ever dare to as
sert bis conviction Of right and to die, even
in vain, in defense Of his liberty. Let pa
triots judge him and us. We stand to-
gether, and together scorn the ignoble
court which would anticipate the sure aud
true verdict Of humanity In years yet to
come.
WHAT SECRETARY LAMAR IS ALLEGED TO
HAVE SAID. -rHf.
Toledo Blade.l ..It
The wild state rights utterances OF JEFF
Davis are not Endorsed by leading Demo-
Gratis in Washington who have been identi-
fed with the confedoracy. Secretary Lamar
| speaks In severe terms to his friends OF the
inopportune utterances at Montgomery on
the occasion Of the laying Of the corner
stone Of the confederate monument, and
denies that Davis is voicing the real sentl-
ment OF the south. The effect In the north
| will, he thinks, be TO rekindle hostile feel
ings, which had almost died away, and he
fears the spark famed into life again by
Davis's talk will be blown into blaze for
campaign purposes by Republican politi.
clans. The terms. in which Davis Is de-
nounced by northern Democrats exhaust
all the vigorous Anglo-saxon phrases OF
indignation and anger.

The Great Strike

(For such 1t is known, although
in reality it is merely a quiet and
dignifed demand for shorter
hours Of labor), has been the di-
rect cause of greatly increasing
the volume of our trade. This
may seem paradoxioal. in view
of the fact that the less work
done the less money goes into
circulation, but the fact Is 1t is
the first good opportunity that
has for a long time presented it
self to the thousands Of working
men who toll daily to visit THE

PANY in day time and inspect

(where goods are needed) as nat
urally as the day follows the
might. the result has been a most
increase in our BUSH

&hope these labor troubles will
soon be adjusted to the satisfac-
Ntion of all parties concerned, and
that the wheels of industry will
mum all the merrier from the
y short rest of their enforced idle
4 ness. We would ask the public
