He Told the Whole Truth.

The robust and healthful independence which
should always be suggested by the name
American has not been wholly monopolized
by the girls, much of it as they now possess. A
man of very genuine and inspiring independence
was witness in a Western Pennsylvania cour,
not long ago. A lawyer who had the cross
examining Of this witness, tells the story, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. Everything went wei
until a certain question had been asked, and as
much of it answered as fulfilled the lawyer
desires.

But there is more to tell. l haven't fully

The muzzle was held firmly iii place. but the

"a Friend of the South"

Gen. Longstreet is talking a good deal
about public matters in the south nowadays
and what he says contains, as a rule,
much common sense. In st. Louis tine
other day, in conversation with a reporter
of the st. Louis GJobe-Democrdt, one of
the leading republican papers OF the west,
about the negro and his future, he said ::
1.-The negro is getting along quite well, and
would do much better if it was not for the
politicians. 1t does not follow because a
man is black that he is a republican. A negro
is like most any other man, he will vote to
the advancement of his own interests. He
will vote against negro who has gone to the
front simply as a politician in favor of a
respectable southern whits man any time.
He will vote for a southern white man that
he knows against politician from the north
every time. Schools are working out the
problem of the colored man in the south.
The development of the country is giving
him new avenues of employment. What
he is gradually getting is better wages, and
what he needs is less politics and meddling
from politicians"
The reporter suggested that the general
was talking good deal like democrat. In
response the general said: mo, 1 am talk
ing as always have, like friend of the
SOUTH"
Those northern republicans who seem to
have high regard for Gen. Longstreet's
opinions should give due weight to the
foregoing. If they believe the general
knows anything of the negro question, and
are sincerely anxious to do what is best for
the blacks, as well as the whites, of the
south, they will cease nagging the south
about the negro and turn their faces
against the Johnny Davenport federal cleo
ton bill

Well Named.

In quaint little cottage out in the western
suburbs of St. Louis lives an old Irish woman
and her two sons. The old lady has limited
education, but she was born with an unlimited
amount of that native wit for which the Celtic
race is noted. One of City Assessor O'Brien's
deputies called at the cottage where the old
lady lives, the other day, to assess It, according
to the st. Louis Republic. AS he entered the
yard handsome mastiff, with growl aud a
knowing look, babe him get an invitation from
the mistress of the house before he put his
hand on the door knob Let i'm alone, Nero, 81
was the word that came from out the house to
the dog and the order was promptly obeyed.
The deputy assessor was struck with the name
of the dog.
why do you call that dog NeroY' he in
quired.
Sure. don't know. The boys, sir, give him
the name"
The deputy then went on and told the old
lady the historical story of Nero, the emperor
musician, who, after setting fire to Rome, sat
on a tower and fiddled The old lady was told
how Nero made torches of christians. She
listened attentively until the deputy had
fini he'd the story. and then said:
''Sare, then. that's good name for a dog,
anyhow"

Buried In the Committee.

The free coinage silver bill is buried in
the committee on coinage 1t is uncertain
when it will be resurrected. The chances
are that it will remain buried until the sill
yer men agree to such bill as Speaker
Reed wants and the President is willing to
sign. Neither of them favors free coinage
bill Indeed, the President has stated that
he would not sign such bill.
The speaker and those republicans of the
House who are in sympathy with him on
the silver question may consent to more
passed recently. and which the Senate so
changed as to make it virtually new BILL
It is not probable, however, that they will
make very great concessions. They seem to
be in a position now TO dictate terms, and
they know how to use their power.
If the House had been given chance to
concur in the Senate amendments the
President might have been confronted with
free coinage bill. He doubtless would
have vetoed it, though he would not have
done so with pleasure, because a veto OF a
silver bill would cause trouble in his party.
He has to thank Speaker Reed, perhaps,
for saving him from being placed in a
rather unenviable position.
However. it is not absolutely certain that
the House would have agreed to the Senate
amendments if it had had the opportunity
to do So The silver men seem to think that
it would, but its refusal to sustain Mr..
Bland's appeal from the speakers decision
referriny the hill m the c0pnmit taa on ooiD
age leaves room for doubling that it would.
