Wade Hampton's Words at a
Monument Dedication.
APPEAL TO IMPARTIAL HISTORY

As to Who Was Right Wrong in the
Late Unpleasantness-The Confederate
Dead Declared Martyrs-The Duty OF
Americans North, South, East and West
The War Issues Not i'm Discussion-A
Plea for Fraternal Union.
CHARLESTON, 8. c., May 16-At the dedi-
cation of q monument to the dead soldiers of
four Geman companies in the Confederate
army, yesterday, Senator Hampton made the
following address:
I'VE regard our dead as martyrs, and God
forbid that any of their living comrades,
their descendants to the remotest ages should
brand them as traitors Words, my friends.
are not merely empty sounds; in the domain
OF history they are things, potent factors, not
only In shaping events, but in placing these
events In true light before the world, and
we should never acknowledge that we were
rebels or traitors That question is to be de-
clded by the verdict of impartial history and
that OF posterity, and we may we'll be salts
ned TO commit our cause and our conduct to
those august tribunals
Not Discussing War Issues.
LET me not be understood as discussing
the merits of the great conflict which ar
rayed one section of the country against the
otner; which wrought such wide-s spread
devastation, and which cost so much in treas
ure ana the loss of so many precious lives.
Ihe questions which brought about that un-
happy war have been settled; and he is not
a true patriot who would strive to kindle the
hres OF sectional hate or reopen the wounds
which the kind hand of time has healed
The Patriots Highest Duty.
mo higher duty can inspire the heart of
every patriot than that which impels him to
devote all his energies of mind and body to
make this country worthy of the admiration
and respect of the world-the fit home for
all time to come of American freemen. This
duty devolves on us of the south as urgently
as upon any other citizens of this broad
land; for whatever may have been the issues
which brought about civil war, we must re-
member that now alI-north. south. east
and west-have but one country, and but
one constitution, to both of which our allie
glance is due.
A Defense of the Southern Memorial
But while we of the south recognize this
fact fully it does not follow that we should
refuse to do honor to the memory of our dead
comrades. The men who met us in battle
would feel just contempt for us were we
base enough to forget those who gave their
lives for cause which they and we believed
In our Utmost hearts to be just aud right
We should indeed be time-serving cravens if
we allowed the memory of these men, of
their untimely death, pass forever from our
hearts, or if we should fad to leave enduring
monuments to them as evidences of our love
and our gratitude. We can do nothing to
show grateful peoples gratitude to our
surviving veterans"
The senator closed with an eloquent tribute
to the poor and crippled survivors of the
war.

WHAT want now worse than any
thing else," says Postmaster General
Wanamaker, lis for somebody to hoo

first class liar to start the report that the
germs of yellow fever, small pox or other
deadly diseases fingers in the lounges
and chairs of my office and that the car
pets on the floor are reeking with ma
laria and that the pressure of my hand
engenders leprosy. If story like that

ant for few days at least. AS it is at

WASHINGTON CITY May ia Repub-
hcan senator, who is supposed to stand very
close to the administration, is authority for
a statement that the president has decided to
fill the vacancy on the supreme bench caused
by the death of Justice Stanley Matthew's by
sppointing his old friend and law partner,
Attorney General Miller This will necessi-
tate several important changes, chief of
which will be the promotion of Gen. Noble
to the more distinguished position of attor-
ney general, while Second Assistant Post
master General Clarkson is to be rewarded
for the splendid service he rendered his
party in the last campaign by being made
member of the cabinet, succeeding Gen. No
BILE as secretary of the interior
This Is Straight.
This information, the senator says, is abso-
lutely correct He claims that it was first
impaired to him several days ago by MEM
Der of the cabinet and that he has since been
able 70 corroborate it by sounding President
Harrison Just when the changes are to be
officially announced he is not able to tell, but
4 ON what he gathered from the president he
links there is strong likelihood that the
appointment of Gen. Miller will be made
within a week or two, and of course the
others would follow in rapid succession.
A Reason for Doubt.
The only reason for doubling the anthem
ITCHY of this Information is that the presi-
dent when making up his cabinet said most
positively that he would select no one for sec
rotary of the interior who did not stand
high in the legal profession. Mr.. Clarkson is
not a lawyer, but as he has shown himself to
be most excellent executive officer during
his brief career in the postoffice department,
it Is not unlikely that Mr. Harrison will feel
that he makes up in other important qualifi-
cations what he lacks in legal knowledge.
