the New South in the following
eloquent words: 81 pity the poor

oglzes for, or the blatant braggart
who boasts of what he did as con-
federate soldier. He who did
most only did his dirty 10 his count

condemnation. The Confederate
soldier, like The Union soldier,
owed his allegiance 10 his country /;
and like the Union soldier, he
fought and died for a righteous
cause. Then away with the cow

that he believed to be right. | as
sert TO day as confidently as did
1ancey or Toombs or Davis, in
1861, that it was just and right
eous cause, and that the Confeder-
ate soldier not only thought he was
right, but he fought and died III
that cause, and is Untitled TO the
same need of praise, and of honor,
and of glory from his people, as is
the faithful Northern, soldier who
fought and died beneath the stars

WOMEN As PETITIONERS.

In the last isue of the Whit

OF woman'S name being allowed
on liquor petition in Madison

of one of the first lawyers of the
State it is legally there. Consult.

his reply is as follows:
My DEAR MADAME:
Absence and illness have pre-
vented earlier attention to your
esteemed favor of the 3rd inst.
now have the honor to say that,
while The question has not been
adjudicated, | think the general
policy OF lhe law being TO exclude
woman from participation, in such
matters the signature of a woman
zeal eslale owner is not to be
counted any more than 1t should be
IN the case OF a minor. | regard
the question, however, as one of
doubt. When it comes 10 The case

law provides that they must be
signed by qualified voters which of
course excludes The opposite sex.
Very respectfully, your ODE.
dient servant,
+. N. MILLER.
The right of appeal and petition
belongs to every body under free
government, without respect TO
age or sex and is The only defense
of the helpless. An aLridgement
of tins right by an individual is an
act of violence. Is il any less an
act of violence when committed by
the State? This is The first time,
probably. there has been occasion
to bring this subject into public
consideration.
If The laws of Mississippi permit
the right of petition to the kind of
woman who will sign liquor Pc
tiilon and deny it to the christian
women Of the commonwealth, this |
injustice must have occurred |
through inaGvertence, and public
Indignation will demand a correc.
ton from the next Legislature. If
"A woman can petition for the sale
Of liquor and is forbidden to peti-
ton against It's sale, it is a greater
tyranny, if possible. than taxation
without representation, because it
is a tyranny Of a class over half the
people and against the interests of |
the whole people. Let the matter
be tested before the courts.
