have disturbed his tranquility, and he
gnasheth upon us with his teeth, and
gives my letter great big double column
head lines, and then goes to using Ian
guage upon US with malice aforethought
He is mad because We build monuments
and decorate graves and make speeches
and put into requisition "rivers of oratory
and clouds and waves and cyclones Of
eloquence to laud the cause and the rebels
and Jeff Davis, numbering, thieviDg old
rebel and traitor" His liver seems to be
inAamed because some of The northern
republicans are crying out, "forget and
forgive"
"Let byegonss be byegoues," and he
says they are in line following after Polk
and Livingston and Terrell, who once
led the rebels, and that eff justice had
been done, every numbering rebel would
have been hung"
Good gracious what sight of rope it
would have taken. I'll bet this Herald
man would have got up corner on
jute.
Well, of course, all that sort of talk
would be funny and fantastic if Hutch

people, and this paper the lead.
ing paper in it. What an editor
says nowadays is of butlittle consequence
if it expressed his individual opinion !;
but as general rule the editor does not
lead the people-he follows them-and
30 it looks bad to see the sign of 30 much
hate and venom still existing among our
Western brethren. But certain it is that
some Of his subscribers have put off the
red shirt and put on white one and
sworn off from the party, and that is
what is the matter.
I thought that all these sentimental
questions were settled, and that it was
generally agreed that we might love and
honor our dead and build monuments
and throw flowers and have reunions and
hurrah for our side, considering that
nothing but sentiment was left us. If a
big boy whips little boy he ought to be
willing for the little fellow to cry some
and shake his fist and threaten-many a
schoolboy has vowed to whip the teacher
when be got to be man. That is about
all we are doing-when We get grown We
will lick you. See if ne don't. Well do
it anyhow if you'll walk outside the cor
poration. I'll bet the editor of the Herald
never was in the war or he wouldn't talk
so big about hanging US. I'll bet he i'm.
posed on little boys at school and Judged
when he played marbles. he is in a
perfect rage about that Confederate mon.
ument at jackson, Miss-wish he would go
down there and talk like he writes. he
says that northern man is not safe down
south and "is in danger of assassination
or open brutal murder unless he pro-
claims his love for the lost cause and its
treason" That is the same old lie that
has been denounced hundred times by
northern republicans who live here, but
it is no lie as far as the editor of the
Herald is concerned. BE wouldn't be
safe. His old carcass wouldn't hold
shucks by the time he got off the depot
platform our boys can stand slander and
lies star off, but man must not bring ii
to them. So let Mr.. Herald stay at home
and shinney on his own side and we will
send some missionaries up there soon af
ne can. We have no language 6tten tc
use on him. He can consider himself
called all the appropriate things thai
Falstaff called Prince Hal and Prince Ha
called Falstaff.
We've got 10 send missionaries W
north or the devil will get more than hil
share of the people. Boston seems to bt
his headquarters right now. Mr.. Field
says in his last Evangelist that shil
has Just sailed from Boston with cargo
of sixty thousand dollars worth of run
for the negroes in Africa. Ho says th'
rum traffic between Boston and Afric'
from July 1889 to July 1890. was $G56,
900, and from July 1890 to July 1891
vas 81, ,223,SS9, which is nearly doubl
the year before. He says that one of th
most forcible preachers in Boston assert
ed recently in his pulpit that the mer
chants engaged in this business wer
New England men, and were members o
Christian churches, and his assertion ha
not been contradicted. Mr.. Fields says
"This traffic is as disgraceful to humani
ty as is the slave trade, against which W
are fond of protesting, 1t is carried o.
not by ignorant Arabs, but by culture
8ostonians. How long shall the Churc

lives for the Christianizing of Africa, an
at the same time shutting it's eyes to tn
demonzing of this country by the rur
traffic ?"
This is O conundrum that we can't an
