by the court ladies when one day she
read them a few chapters. She was
bright enough to wish less partial test,
so she sent it under an assumed name to
a leading publisher, who politely declined
to accept it. The publisher was much
chagrined when the affair came out. and
on the story being paragraphed in the
London newspapers, three English houses
telegraphed to the Queen asking for the
book, but she sensbly thinks best to
abide by the decision given when no
royal name protected the child Of her
fancy

To The Editor Of he DiSpaica:
have Just read in your semi-weelly

any of those who think with him have
any reason whatever to look for, Orto hope
for any improvement 10 be made III the
present condition Of affairs rs regards tho
proper position of the negrO2
Dr. Page SAYS: - believe that the wide di-
vergence between the North and the South
on this subject az present IS mainly due to
the fact that they dOnot understand II al ke.
Before they eau agree upon It's solution
they must be brought to understand IL
aiike-that is. the North must be con-
WINGED that the South Is right" But what
agencies does the speaker propose using
for the better educating Of the North {!
Surely something different from those
now IN use. or there can be no change.
Where does the North get her informa-
ton on this subject? Necessarily from
the public prints and the addresses
of prominent men, and If we are
to believe the quotations our own
papers make from their northern ex-
changes there Is not much to hope for from
the former. | have all along been an adyo-
cate OF RECONCILIATION ana Iraternhl rela-

up hook entitled Colonel IS Great
Speeches" and there found these words :
~ admit that there are a good many good
men in the South. but the bad men are
in en- overwhelming majority--the great
mass of the population are cruel, revenge
full, idle, hateful" That from one of the
" great speeches" in 1876 and in 1850 these
words form n part of another "great
speech" And when speak of our cCaln
try ! mean the North, East. and Vest.
There are parts of this country that are
not yet civilized" These are the utter
ances of one of the most popular men in
the North, and. if reported correctly. they
were applauded along with many Others
fully as unjust, as unkind. and as untrue,
with rounds of cheer from his audience.
This from the stump. Let's see what
the platform is doing for the reconciliation
of the sections and for better under
standing, so much desired by DIR. Page.
