One Of the oldest missions of the United
States is here in Burmah, and it was dur

wife first landed in Rangoon. This was
in 1913, and the name of the missionary
was Adoniram Judson. Now the Baptists

THE Atlanta Constitution, unable
to give good reason for the political
outrages committed In the south, other
than by contrasting them with the MUIR
ders and riots OF the north, not politi-
cal, contents itself with abusing Hon.
W, E. Chandler and Hon. John ].
Ingalls,. The Constitution greatly mis-
judges the sentiment of the Northern
people, when 1t attempts TO close their
eyes against the political outrages Of
the south by trying to blacken the
characters of such men as Senators
Chandler and ingalls, because they have
dared to speak against their outrageous
methods of political persecution. What
the good citizens of this country wish
to know is whether these reports of fraud
and political murders are true; if true,
they wish to use all the legal means in
their power to put stop to them. II
there are any honorable llberty-loving
men in the south, they have either
apologized for these outrages, or have
remained quiet. There has been no out
spoken deuurciation by them of these
matters. II thase outrages do not occur
as charged, why should southern repre-
sentatives oppose an investigation?
Why don't they show willingness to
assist Congress in exhonerating the
south? If an investigation fails to
substantlate these charges against the
south, would IT not tend to blacken
those making such chargesp No fine
spun theories or abuse will tend to
blind honest thinking men. We must
have the truth; an American citizen is
an American citizen, and must be
respected as such. II the Atlanta
Constitution says "no," and none but
white Americans will be allowed to
exercise the rights of an American
citizen, you are at war with the Con-
stitution of the United States, and the
responsibility is with you. Messrs.
Chandler. ingalls, and other brave
statesmen will continue in their fight
for justice to the end, whatever the
end may bring forth.

colored citizens who fought to preserve
the government have been robbed Of
their citizenship rights by those who
laid down their lives to destroy it Is
equally true. When these rebels were
taken back into the Union, as they
have been, the Post rightfully con-
cludes that the government has yielded
its whole case. Those who fought on
the side Of the Confederacy, have a
wider range of freedom under the
government they sought to destroy than
those who fought for its salvation.

The Post cries out Sin the name of
humanity against drawing the line
against these ex-rebels and perpetra-
tors of these black deeds" But is it
wise to allow the present state of

Sherman "AII Right"

If Gen. Sherman really said that the
homes provided for Union soldiers
should be opened to Confederate
soldiers also. he was probably in one of
his impulsive moods at the moment.
The General has more than once an.
nounced things in this way that would
not bear approval under cold analysis.
We are inclined to 60 as far as most
people in liberality toward those whom
the nation has forgiven for attempting
its destruction, but when it Is proposed
that retreats provided for those who
fought to save the Government shall be
given over to the use of those who
fought to destroy it, there is occasion
for drawing the line. Such will be the
general opinion, we doubt not, on re.
fectiOn Boston Herald.
The occasion for "drawing lines"
would seem to have passed to Judge by
the way the South has been welcomed
back into the Union. Those who
fought TO destroy the Government are
now prominent in the making of It's
laws, hold high office at its gift, draw
large salaries from its treasury, are
politically and officially recognized
upon the same plane with those who
fought to save it.
Having gone thus far towards an

Ii there were no lines to be drawn

strangely out of place here. General
Sherman is right In his sympatnles, as

North or acceptable at the South, they
are creditable alike to his head and
heart. - Washington Post.

Newman on the New South.
HOW THE BISHOP WOULD SOLVE THE
RACE QUESTION AND OTHER
PROBLEMS

Roanoke, Va, Special to the Baltimore
American" February 49,.
Bishop Newman addressed one Of
the largest audiences last night ever
assembled IN this city. His theme was
Religious Education In the South"
He said: 1.-THE purest blood In America
flows through the veins of the
sons of the South, and he
did not know but that they
ought to thank God that they were
born south of the Potomac. In the
north the native.born citizens were en-
gagged In death grapple with a dan
gerous foreign element. with ideas an
tagon1stic and dangerous to our form
of republican government. This ele-
ment was obtaining foothold IN Con-
gress, in state legislatures and In mum
icipalities, and the day might come
when the south would have to march
forth to preserve our dearest national
institution from foreign encroach-
ment."
With reference to the race problem
the bishop said that recently, while
visiting the Governor of South Caro-
lima, he said to him: "if the people of
the South will commit the settlement
of this question to me, will dispose of
it quickly. 1 would draw line of
distinction, placing upon one side the
educated, intelligent and patriotic,
without regard to race or color, and
upon the other side the ignorant. with
out regard to race or color. Then L
would permit intelligence to rule, and
bring the influence of religious educa-
tion to bear upon the ignorant.
The bishop declared that were it not
that he might be charged with betray-
ing a political secret, he would whisper
to the people of the south on authority
that the great and good man elected to
the presidency would not be the Presi.
dent of the south or west, east or
north, but of the whole United States
that his administration of the affairs of
the government would be wise, conser-
vative, safe and for the best interests
of all sections, and that for the offices
In the south he would select the very
| best men Of that section.

THE SALVATION and elevation of
the negro in this country Is within his
own grasp. Many of them are intelli-

them are unlettered, they have set

are standing still making faces at them,
