Truth from Lookout inn, Lookout
mountain, Tenn, says: This su-
perb, picturesque and stately struc-
ture nobly crowns one of the his
toric heights of the world. The
view from the northern parapet OF
the wooded precipice rising 1900
feet abruptly from the sluggish
sinuosities of the Tennessee which
is DETECTED by its base is unsur-
passed in grandeur, beauty and
historic association. Nothing is
wanting to an ideal landscape. In
the immediate foreground and far
beneath, Chattanooga and its SUBJ
urbs, with red highways radiating
to the horizon. Vast forest-covered
spaces surrounding cultivated fields;
to the west the implicated folds of
misty ranges in whose defiles the
river disappears; to the north the
undulating SUBMITS of the Great
Smoky mountains staining the
dim sky with deeper blue; east
ward Mission Ridge, Orchard Knob
and the rugged ridges of Chicka-
manga, with its memories of the
grief and gloom and glories of
defeat and triumph in the days
that are no more.
ZONE OF EARTH's GREATEST TRACE
DIES"
Itseems strange and homogeneous
that the the scene of one of earth's
greatest tragedies, where the soil
has been saturated with blood, the
air burdened with the lamentations
of the dying, and the crags shaken
with the reverberating thunders of
battle, should become the rendez-
vous of youth and beauty and
pleasure, but
Grim -visaged war has smoothed his wrinkled
And now instead Of mounting barbed steeds
To fright the souls Of fearful adversarieS
He t Gss's HSy - 81 ehn%ee!
"THE WAR AND Tale NEGRO"
Two subjects appear to be upper
most in the minds of the southern
people-the war and the negro.
In the cars, at the hotels, on the
street, between casual acquaint'
ances and familiar friends-the
war and the negro. The confeder'
ate veterans are being organized
into camps in every southern state
with commander-in-chief, genera
officers, military ceremonials, regu
lar meetings for social and com
memorative purposes, like the
Grand Army Of the Republic in thu
north. The people are more famil
lar with the stars and bars thar
with the stars and stripes.
There is no enthusiasm for thu
union and the nation.
The young are taught to remem
Der rather than to forget. Their
are few, if any, among those borr
since the war who do not regart
Lee, Jackson and Davis will
greater reverence and honor thar
Grant, Sherman and Lincoln
Statues and trophies are erected t.
perpetuate the deeds and memorie
of those who sought to destro.
rather than to uphold the constitu
ton. This is doubtless inevitable
but it is unfortunate. They are {
proud and sensitive people, who's
self-esteem has suffered an imme
idicable wound.
'1DEAs ARE DEATHLEss"
Inviting with confid ence tn
arbitrament of war, they failed, an
it was not possible that they shoul
accept the result without perpetual
explanation and protest.
Ideas are deathless.
War settles nothing but the rela
tive strength of the combatanti
No man was ever convinced tina
he was wrong by being subjugated
and the admission that slavery
secession and kindred question
were settled by the sword, and tina
