A Friendly Course Predicted.

A wel-known northern republican, VINO
is in position to know the sentiments OF
Gen. Harrison and the republican leaders,
writes to the MORNING NEWS that he has
every reason to believe that the attitude Of
| Gen Harrison's administration, and of the
republican party toward the south, Will be
of the most friendly character, and that
the south has no reason to apprehend that
ANYTHING will be done that will tend to ex-
cite race troubles.
The MORNING News has already said
that there is no occasion for the southern
people to regard the incoming administra-
ton with anxiety, or to anticipate troubles
that may never come. Gen. Hatrison's ad-
ministration, with a republican congress at
its back, can do very little that will injure
the south, even if it were so disposed, and
there is no good reason for thinking that it
Will be unfriendly.
About the only thing that Gen. Harrison
could do that would arouse a feeling OF
hostility in the south to his administration,
would be to attempt to force the class of
politicians to the front who became notorl-
Gus during the carpet-bag era. There is
not much probability that he will try to do
anything of that kind, because he has no
sympathy with that class of politicians.
The New York Worid said Tuesday: The
day of coercion and Of negro and scalawag
rule at the south has gone by never to
return The spirit of the south is national.
The race question it must be permitted to
settle for itself. But there is no other
southern question that is not also a north
ern and western question. The southern
people are open TO appeals to their patriot
ism and their intares 5"
If Gen. Harrison will recognize the fact
that the spirit of the south is national, that
the south must be permitted to settle the
race question for itself and tha5 there is no
southern question, his administration will
meet with a reception in the south with
which he will have no reason TO find fault.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press writing from Indianapolis, the home
of Gen Harrison, says: sit may be stated,
for the reinsurance of uneasy southemerS,
that it is the determination Of the President
elect to be kindly and friendly. The car
Dagger" will not be made prominent. A
more acceptable class of men are available,
and they are better prepared, by reason Of
superior intelligence and such force Of char
acter as commands esteem, to carry out the
purposes of the administration.
The above is the general tone of the re-
publican press, and it is PROBABLE that it is
in harmony with Gen. Harrison's senti-
ments. If it is, the return of the Republi-
can party to power will not obstruct the
progress of the south nor disturb the peace

He Got to the Centennial

from The NelC YOrk IFI6une.
The distinguished generals and colonies who
have gone down to Georgia to explore the bat
tlefeld of Cnckamauga will find many objects
of interest between the jagged backbone of
Mission Ridge and the home of .Judson c,
Clements, member of congress from the Seventh
district. / wonder if they will run across any
walking sticks like those that were sold by the
carload at the centennial twelve years ago? An
aged woodhauler who lived near Rome, Ga,
wanted to cap the climax of q miserable exist
ence by going to the big show, and it occurred
TO him that he might pay all his expenses by
forwarding a miscellaneous assortm ent of dog
wood, hickory ash and sevenbark walking
sticks to Paramount park and selling them
there to sightseers and curiosity hunters as
having been cut off the famous battlefield
where Bragg and Rosecrans wreGtled in 1858
He was cutting and hauling saplingS from his
ten-acre lot, situated some thirty miles south of
Chicamauga, for several weeks and eventually
landed them iu PhilG lelphia, where they went
like hot cakes at 81 apiece.

A Song.

Over the strings of my harp today
Floats song that is half a sigh,
Like the sound of leaves when the wind
sweep by,
Like the sound of breakers far away,
As they beat and sob,
AS they beat and throb,
Till hear q voice in their distant roar
On that lonely stretch of sandy shore.
Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats q song for the dying year
song that thrills with an unshed tear
Through the winter twilight cold and gray
AS the breakers sob,
AS the breakers throb,
And hear that voice with its old refrain,
For the days that never come back again.
Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats a song for my sweet, lost youth
For, oh, would give in very truth,
Riches and fame and power away
To dream once more
Those bright dreams DER.
IT is vain regret, signs that old refrain,
For the days that never come back again.
Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats a song for the dying year;
A song that thrills with an 1nshed tear,
Like the sound of breakers far away
How they beat and sob,
How they beat and throbl
And hear that voice with its old refrain,
For the days that never come back again.

AL Favor II.

If the interviews published in the MORN
ING NEWS yesterday, relative to the MORN
ING NEWS suggestion that the opening of
direct railroad communication between this
city and Kansas City be celebrated here at
an early day, are any indication of public
sentiment in this community on that sub
iect, it is safe to say that everybody favors
a celebration. The opinion seems to be that
the celebration should take place after the
busy season is pretty well over. Some
think that February would be the most
favorable month, while others prefer March
or April.
1t doesn't make much difference about
the time. The celebration is the main
thing, and it ought to take place when our
wharves are lined with ships and packed
with freight We want the business men
of the west to see what an important COM
mercial city this is. and they can do that to
the best advantage when our harbor is
crowded with shipping and the products of
our great tributary territory are coming
here for shipment abroad.
In order that the celebration may be
success, steps should be taken at once to
make preparations for it, Committees
should be appointed TO fix the time for it,
and to determine its character. Even if it
should be decided not to have it before
spring, it is none too soon to do something
more than to talk about it. If nothing is
done now, interest in it may die out
Everything points to closer commercial
relations between this city and the west.
There is no reason why Kansas City should
seek the seaboard at New York rather than
at Savannah, ard if the proper efforts are
made, this will become the seaport of the
great and rich section of country that is
tributary to Kansas City. The products of
Alabama's farms ard mines already come
here, and there is no reason why the prod
ucts of the prairies Of Kansas and Missouri
should not be handled on our wharves.
The New York WoddSalnts this picture
of one of Florida's congressman: dough
erty, of Florida, is now serving his second
term. In personal appearance he is the
best type in the House Of the fiercest sort of
southerner. A big, athletic fellow, he
wears his black SLOUGH hat at an aggressive
tilt. He has a fierce, black mustache and
goatee, and always looks daggers at a
stranger, as the inhabitants of wild regions
are wont to do. Until recently he wore no
suspenders, and between the top of his
trousers and the bottom of his vest fold of
undergarment looked out Dougherty has
his own opinion of the way things should be
done. If the speaker rules him out of order
he contests the ruling as nobody else would;
and if, through personal disappointment,
he took to flibustering, no amount o
pleading or reasoning with him by his
party friends would move him one iota. As
long as his power to block the business of
the House held out, he would persist in his
obstruction with the grip and hold of bull
dog" If tie genial Col. Dougherty were as
ferocious as the World pictures him, he
would paint dark ring around the eye of
the Worlds romancer. He is young man
of marked ability and high character, and
could have been reelected to congress if he
had desired.
