SOME MISTAKES

The editor of the Oregonian, in a
very strong editorial concerning the
death of General Albert Pike, makes
some mistakes of fact with regard to
George ID. Prentice, Of the Louisville
journal, aud Sergeant S. Prentiss, the
famous Mississippi orator. The edi-
torial says:
George ID. Prentice, Of the Louisville
Courier journal, was born in Connecticut;
was educated at Brown university; did
not settle In Kentucky until he was in his
Goth year. and yet he was as vigorous a
champion Of the South and slavery as was
his great leader, Henry Clay. Prem tice
stood by the Union. to he sure. but not
because Of his Northern birth aud train
ing; he stood by IL because Of his environ
ment. Henry Clay's influence and the
commercial ties which bound Louisville
and Cincinnati kept Prentces environ.
ment with the Union. One OF his boys
died Confederate soldier and the other
stood by the Union.
In the first place there was no such
thing as the Courier-Journal until
1868, three years after the war was
closed. Mr. Prentice established the
Louisville Journal and conducted it
about forty years under that name.
When in 1868 Watterson and Hender-
son bought Prentice's and Osborne's
interests, which were respectively a
half and quarter, Henderson owning
the other quarter, and the Journal
was then consolidated with the
Courier. which was the property of
Mr.. Haldeman. Mr.. Clay was dead
long before the war, at least fifteen
years, and his party-the Whigs-had
long been swallowed up, first by the
Know-Nothlng or American Party
and then by the Union Party
Mr.. Prentice's environments, 81
far from being Union, were quite
the reverse but he was a Unionist
from breeding and instinct. He with
stood all efforts to drive him into tn,
secession movement, and was one o.
the first menin Louisville to shoulder
a "Lincoln musket" and join tn,
"Home Guards" which military asso
citation was composed entirely o
Union men. Neither of Prentice,
sons were on the Union side. Court
land, the eldest, was killed early in tn
war In the Confederate army at Au
gusta, Ky, and Clarence, the young
est, served through the entire war a
a colonel in the Confederate army
Prentice had no other children thar
these two. The commercial ties b,
tween Louisville and Cincinnati wer
only such ties as exist between any tw,
cities in America, in general way
Specially Cincinnati was an intens
rival OF Louisville, attracting as 1t di,
nearly all the trade of Eastern Ken
lucky.
Concerning the other Prentiss
whose name was spelled differently bu
pronounced the same way, the Ore
gonian says:
Sergeant S. Pfentiss, the most eloquen
orator OF the South. was born In Main
and educated at Bowdoin college. Coin
to Mississippi, he became as intensel
Southern In his thoughts and social habit
as II he had been reared upon plahta
ton. He was as quick to fight duel a
any native, and was as popular In New
Orleans, where he died. as he had been Il
Mississippi. Had he lived as near tn
Ohio as George -. Prentice, he woul'
have been as strong for the Union, bu
had he lived to see the rebellion in Missis
sippi or Louisiana, he would have beef

More Entertaining.
Here is IL choice bit from Jerome X.
Jerome's latest book, "Told After Sup

exclusively Of men, and the time is
Christmas eve:
1--WE had some more punch and then
the curate told US story. | could not
make head or tail Of the curate's story,
so l cannot retail it to you. We none
of us could make head or tail of that
story. 1t was good story enough, so
far rs material went. There seemed to
be an enormous amount of plot and
enough incident to have made dozen
novels. | never before heard a story con-
tanning so much incident, nor dealing
with SO many varied characters.
II should suppose that every human
being our curato had ever known or met,
or even heard of, was brought into that
story There were simply hundreds Of
them. Every five seconds he would in
troduce completely fresh collection
of characters, accompanied by brand
new set of incidents.
"Well, then my uncle went into the
garden and got his gun, but of course it
wasn't there, and Scroggins said he
didn't believe it
Didn't believe what? Who's Scrog-

" 'Scroggins Oh, why, he was the

"'Why, that's what Tn telling you.

other niece had married a man named

Washington Farmer; If the people of
Washington are not willing to pay for
good roads they will never have them.
Here seems to be the weak point all over
the land. The roads everywhere are 1.-THE
merest makeshifts." Everywhere the
people want to get out of the mud and
mire, but in the words of the Philadelphia
Times, they seem to expect the ways and
means ito fall like the gentle dew from
heaven, or the mama in the wilderness,
and, by no means to be raised by public
taxation" This is the sheerest nonsense;
good roads will cost money in the begin
ming, but will cram it back into your
pockets tenfold over in the end Depre-
ciated farm lands, loss of time, wear and
tear of vehicles, horses and harness, will
be heard of no more

Pittsburg Dispatch: 1t is interesting
to know that the colored people outnum-
Der the whites in only three Southern
states, and in one Of those only by mere
scratch. Thus it will be seen that the
dream of the black voters controlling the
South through the ballot box can scarcely
be realized, even by the most vigorous of
force bills. At the same time the fact
that they are clearly in the majority
should dispose of the argument of some
Southern leaders that bulldozing is neces-
sary to maintain white supremacy and
preserve order.

The Review thinks that Acting
Governor Laughton has no right to
know anything about constitutional
law, because he is not a lawyer. And
yet the law presupposes every man to
know what the law is. Would the
