doubt to secure contributions for the fund
The people are ready and willing to con-
tribute to the extent of their ability. All
they want is the opportunity.
Mrs. Davis has announced that she would
receive aid in only one way, and that Is the
one that met with the approval of Mr..
Davis a few weeks ago IL is that the tract
of land in Arkansas, containing about 6, 900
acres, belonging to the Davis estate, shall
be purchased by those of the southern
people who are willing to assist Mrs. Davis
and her daughter, and the proceeds used to
pay the membranes on the remainder of

When Mr.. Davis had made up his mind
he rarely changed it. This was illustrated
year or two ago. He prepared for the
North American RerieU an article in ref
erence to Andersonville and the other pris-
ons of the south during the war 1t was a
reply to the charge of inhuman treatment
made against the southern people. and as it
reflected upon certain federal officials who
were friends Of Mr.. Allen Thorndyke Rice,
the editor of the Reuiet0, Mr.. Rice endeav-
ored to get Mr.. Davis to modify it, or 10
allow it to be edited. AS Mr.. Davis had
prepared it with great care, and after tedious
historical research, he refused to do this.
and as a consequence it was not published
in the ReUie,C. 1t will be published in the
next number of Betford'S Magazine.

The Chienain's Funeral.

A solemn quiet will pervade the south to-
/ day. The wheels Of commerce will be
motionless and the doors OF trade will be
closed. The people, with bowed heads and
sad hearts, will psy!their last respects TO the
mortal remains of jefferson Davis. To
day his body will be carried to the tomb to
remain until loving people shall deter
mine where his final resting place shall be.
The tears that will flow will come from
the hearts of those who admired and loved
the dead chieftain, and who suffered for
| the cause which he so honestly and
earnestly championed. In the homes of
southern people, in city, village and rural
districts the story Of the great civil conflict
will be recalled and memory will be busy
with thoughts Of that great multitude of
brave men who gave an unwavering sup
port to the dead leader who is mourned to
day, and whose graves are upon hundred
battle fields.
Although the south is prosperous and is
growing rich and strong and although her
people are looking toward a future that is
. full OF promise, she does not forget, and
can never forget, her heroes. neither those
who are dead nor those who are living.
They are part of herself. and however
great she may become their memory and
their deeds will be her chief treasures,
which will be handed down from one gen.
GRAFTON to another of her children to be
guarded as their most sacred trust As her
material prosperity increases she will COM
memorate in marble and in her literature
the deeds of those who have served her
faithfully. She will be true to those who
have been true to her.
The southern people to-day will pay
tribute to Jefferson Davis memory such as
has seldom been paid to the memory of the
great Of the earth. That he retained the
respect and love of millions of people for a
quarter of century after he had ceased to
be prominent figure in the worlds affairs
shows how great a man he was.

The Ohio Forgery.

There is a pretty fair prospect that con-
gress will be asked to investigate the forgery
that reached the public in the recent cam
paign in Ohio through Gov. Foraker, of
that state, and Murat Halstead. editor of
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The
forged document, it will be remembered
was signed with the names of Gov. ELECT
Campbell, Senator Sherman, Representa-
tives Mckinley and Butterworth and
others, and purported to be contract
with John Mclean of the Gin
ctnnoti Enquirer by which they were
to have shares in patent ballot-box which
they were to assist in getting congress to
adopt for use in federal elections. The con-
tract was one that no congressman could
afford to have anything to do with. Gov
elect Campbell was a member of congress
when the supposed contract was executed.
and so were Sherman, Butterworth, and
Mckinley.
Gov. Foraker has explained how the
forged document came into his possession,
and how he came to give it to Mr.. Halstead.
bis explanation, however, does not place
him in a position that an honorable man
would like to occupy. He wanted to defeat
Mr. Campbell for governor, and it is well
known that he has no love for Sherman
Butterworth and Mckinley, because he
thinks that they stand in the way of his DO
litical advancement.
The forged document was obtained from
a man named Wood, who wanted an Office
within Foraker's gift Foraker says that
FOL hot h.
ment that would damage number of
prominent men who stood in his way.
Foraker promised Wood the office provided
the latter would give him the document
The document was placed in Foraker's hands
and that gentlemen, without INQUIRIES
whether the signatures were genuine or not,
shrewdly secured its publication.
Foraker denies, of course, that he knew
that the document was forged, but why was
he SO anxious to give it to the public without
submitting the signatures to experts to find
out whether or not they were genuine9
That question he has not yet answered. and
there is no probability that ne will answer
it. In fact, he cannot answer it satisfacto-
rily except by saying that he was SO anxious
to injure those whose names were attached
to the document that he was willing to take
the chances that the signatures were gem
uine.
Foraker. by his own admission, bartered
an office that was not his for something
that he supposed would help him defeat his
political enemies, and when he got the
document he gave it to the public without
making an effort to discover whether or not
it was genuine. He certainly occupies an
unenviable position. 1t has even been
limited that he knew the document was a
forgery. There ought certainly to be a
congressional investigation to clear up the
forgery and to place the blame for it where
it belongs. There is not much doubt that
Forakers public career is ended, whether
there Is congressional investigation or not

Gilbert & Sullivan's new opera, 1.-THE
Gondoliers," was produced in London the
other night to a delighted audience. 1t
was pronounced as good as anything these
well-known composers have given to the
public. 1t deals with Spanish and Venetian
people, and, like its predecessors, is in two
acts. 1t will be produced In New York
Dec. 30, but it may not be heard very gen.
orally in this country this season, as the
terms which the composers demand are
very high. According to some of the
theater people, Gilbert & Sullivan will lose
money on account of their greed, as most
of the big managers will decline to have
anything to do with the new opera,

In a sermon last Sunday Rev. Robert
Collyer, of New York, incidentally referred
to the late jefferson Davis. He said: ''Of

awaiting burial, may we not believe that

dressed to his attending wife, were also
spoken to the nationw DIR. Collyer may
assume anything he wishes, but Mr. Davis
has never apologized for the part he took
in the civil war. He never believed that
there was any reason why he should
apologize

Two years ago citizen of New Bedford,

was as follows: 81 can only answer that
there should be none There was none be-

Thomas Jefferson, of Virginia; or between
Senators Franklin Pierce, of New Hamp-
shire, and John c. Calhoun, of South Caro-

racy Of their day, regarded the states as

sovereign as the compact by which they
