SECRETS oE RERELpoM.
History Proves That Davis and His Fell
Iow-Conspirators Were Insincere.

1t is doubtful if the whole secret his
tory of the Con:ederacy will ever be dis
closed. So much of the story of its in
auguration, its fight for life and its final
collapse was carefully concealed by its
leaders that we can hope to get the ex-
act facts only in fragments and at inter
walls. But enough is known to prove
that intrigue and conspiracy had pre-
pared the way for secession long before
it took place. Mr.. c. C. Coffin has begun
a series of lectures in Boston which is
designed to present many of these hid
den facts, in the interest of history, and
for the purpose of refuting the theory
that the rebellion was based upon cred
liable motives and prosecuted in an hon.
orable and conscientious way. He
shows, to begin with, how the conspira-
tors Matched their treason while pre-
tending to be loyal; how they practiced
treachery in every direction, both as
officials and as citizens; and how they
perverted public sentiment in the South
and precipitated the war by intimidating
their own people. All this has been
told before, but Mr.. Coffin repeats it
forcibly and with many new details.
From first to last, JEFF Davis was the
most active and INSCRIPTIONS of all the
Confederate leaders. The project of dis
union was in his mind and his plans
many years previous to his open declara-
ton of such purpose. He held office
under the United States Government,
and profesSed fidelity to the Union,
when he was secretly and Systematically
playing dishonest and criminal part.
His frequent protestations of patriotism
were deliberately and wholly false In
stead of trying to prevent the war, he
sought to hasten it. There was no form
of compromise which he was willing to
consider. He had sedulouSly worked to
bring about situation in which there
could be no escape from bloodshed. The
election of Lincoln served as the pre-
text for which he had been waiting and
longing. He knew very well that the
South had no cause to fear any evil
on account of that event; the
Republicans in Congress offered
any guarantee of just and fair dealing
that could be desired; but he was bent
upon mischief and deaf to all appeals,
either of reason or of conscience. So
long had he been engaged in plotting
that he would not entertain any
straightforward proposition. He thought
to accomplish revolution by duplicity
and chicanery. His election as Presi-
dent of the COnfederacy was secured by
intrigue; and it was by intrigue that all
of his official course was most denoted.
1t is well to keep these things in mind.
They are the secrets which tell what
the secession experiment really was,
and how little ground there is for cred
iting Davis and his fellow-conspirators
with sincerity and integrity. The truth
of history shows those architects of Ma
tional disaster and bereavement in a
light that must forever condemn and
disgrace their names; and no amount of
sophistry and misrepresentation can
make it otherwise.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat

crate army accepted the results of the
war, and in so doing acknowledged the
supremacy of the Nation and the subor-
dination of the States, Mr.. Davis chung
to the idea that the principle of seces-
sion had not been abandoned. and that
in the end it would triumph.
1t was natural that those Southern
people who believed in secession should
turn with feeling of admiration and
tenderness toward the head and front Of
the secession movement, but Mr.. Davis
ceased to be political force when the
war closed. His bitterest controversies
since that time have been with the mos.
loyal of Southerners. He has differed
not only with the Southern people who
have become reconciled to the National
idea, but with those who were most con-
spicuous in fighting the battles Of the
lost cause. 1t has been a fashion to
crediC the Northern people with unrea-
coming hatred of Jefferson Davis and to
assume that this hatred was to his per-
son or to his personality. The truth is
that Northern distrust and hostility to
Mr.. Davis were based on his own enun-
citation of deep-seated hostility to the
National idea. He was a dangerous
man, because he was at heart an enemy
to the Union and all it means to the
people. As the great majority of the
people are attached to the Union and
believe that the progress and prosperity
of the republic depend upon the prev
alence of strong Union sentiment they
could not regard Jefferson Davis other
than an enemy to existing institutions.

AFTER A coBsLER.
a Coed Trick Played by Some "yets'
on a Green Recruit.


on Green Recruit.
1t is the fate of green hands" to be
fooled. In Samuel Toombs' "Rem-
iniscences of the War;" Al anecdote is
related as an actual fact, to show what
manner of tricks were played upon new
arrivals, and especially upon drafted
men, who, until their mettle had been
tried, were held in small respect by
volunteers.
A Connecticut soldier was on his way
to the spring for canteen of water,
when a substitute" came 1imping to-
ward him, with pair of WORKOUT boots
in his hand
Say, soldier" said the new man. do
you have any shoemakers in these
camps?"
The veteran hesitated moment; then
a brilliant idea came to him. General
Knipe, who commanded the First Brig
ade, had formerly been in the shoe bus
mess, and the opportunity to perpetrate
joke on both the General and the re-
cruit was too good to be lost. He said:
''Oh yes. Do you want your boots
mended?"
Yes" answered the innocent fellow.
''You see we've had to foot it pretty
lively down here from Alexandria, and
r5y boots are all busted out. Where is
your shoemaker
The soldier pointed to row of wall
:ents which skirtea the woods.
"You see that middle tent over
.here?"
Yes
''Well, that's where you'll find him
when he's in. Just 90 up and ask for
General Knipe-we call him General
down here, and he might get mad if you
called him any thing else. He'll attend
to you"
What does he charger"
''Oh, he's reasonable enough. You go
right up there, and you'll find out all
about the cost"
The poor fellow went up, and was, of
course, accosted by the guard.
What do you want?"
II want to see General Knipe."
"Well, there's his tent" said tho
guard.
The man knocked on the pole in front,
and the General spoke up quickly:
who's there? Come imp"
The private entered, and asked if that
was General Knipe.
Yes"
WELL" said the fellow, 'I've got a
pretty bad pair of boots here, and I'd
like to have you fix 'em up for me right
away. I'm in dreadful need of 'em,
and
At this point General Knipe caught
him by the collar, and was proceeding
to administer some severe castigation,
when suddenly he took in the situation.
He contented himself with bidding the
man BECOME, and not allow himself to be
fooled again.

REVENUE REDUCTION.
Two Ways in Which the Burdens of TIL
People Can Be Lightened.

Two Ways in Which the Burdens of the
People Can Be Lightened.
1t is a matter of the gravest public
policy and necessity to the Republican
party that the revenue should be re-
duced 1t is computed that, taking
into account all the reasonable expendi-
lures of the Government, there will be
an annual surplus of S44, 900, 900 for at
least year or two to come. This sur
plus will be in excess of the amount pro-
vided by law for the sinking fund Gre
ated for the purpose of extinguishing
the National debt.
To reduce the tariff on manufactured
goods and on such raw materials as are
produced by our own people would not
reduce, but would increase the revenue.
1t would stimulate importation, and the
amount of duties paid on the in
creased quantity of imported goods
would be far in excess of that now paid
into the Treasury, while goods of Amer
lean manufacture would be crowded out
of the American markets and Ameri-
can labor would be compelled to accept
reduced wages or would be entirely IN
ClnplOySu.
The duty on sugar is apparently an
exception to this general rule; or, rath-
er, as the sugar product of this country
constitutes but one-tenth of the total
supply, the sugar tariff can be reduced
with better results to the entire people,
and with less harm to any great Ameri-
can interest, than would be the case as
regards any other article on the tariff
list.
The tobacco tax is tax on the lux
ury of the poor. If abolished, it would
save the people over $50, 600, 900 a year.
If partly abolished, it would save them
proportionate amount of that sum.
Here are two points for a reduction of
the revenue from which all the people
would derive the benefit, and the sur
plus would be extinguished without af-
fecting the general tariff system or
causing injury to any great industrial
interest of the ountry.-Chicago Jour
nal.

ing.
The fight lasted three long days. Shot
and shell were poured into the Tennes-
see river, the gunboats driven back
with heavy losses, but Grants fearless
men kept up the siege until the fort sur
rendered. After the victory the whole
North was eXultant. The bells rang
joyfully, and cannon shook the New
England cities and towns; but, frozen
and dying, hundreds lay on the red
snow of the battlefield
Mother Bickerdyke, the famous Union
nurse, had followed her boys" south
ward, had blessed them as they went
out in the morning to battle. made them
barrels of good Government coffee, and
as well as possible. without houses or
hospitals, prepared for their return.
This was her first sight of battlefield,
and she told me that none afterward so
overcame her.
After the wounded had been cared for
with all the small comforts she had. and
the exhausted officers had fallen asleep,
somebody noticed bright light moving
quickly over the dark, deserted field,
where the dead were still lying, await
ing burial when il should be light.
One officer after another looked out,
and word passed down the line, go and
and see what it is" General Grant him
self wrapped in his blanket stood out
side his tent, while his orderly followed
the ghost across the snow, and the terri
fed men huddled close together over
the camp-fires whispering that the
spirits were walking about" Nobody
spoke aloud. The wind whistled across
the broken fences and through the icy
rafting branches of trees as the orderly
returned.
We'll" said he to the General, Its
only Mother Blckerdyke, sir, with her
big lantern; here she comes"
General Grant touched her on the
shoulder as she came up and asked in a
low voice, rs there anything wrong,

''oh, no!' she replied; but you see,

She swung her lanteEn bravely along

blanket about him, and said to staff
