Colonel Gorse had made the counting
room of the great north mill his head
quarters He was lighting his pipe at a
candle when the glass door opened and
Friend Joseph Sparks came in, his beaver
upon his head, a corporal escorting him,
holding the sleeve of the Friends coat
between his thumb and finger.
He had come, the Friend said, to ask
for permit to pass a barrel Of -four
through the lines.
Take off your hat" said Colonel
Gorse.
NAY" said the Friend, sit is against
my conscience to take off my hat to any
man."
Damn your consciencer" said the
colonel. Take off your hat"
May" said the Friend, Il cannot
take off my hat"
The orderly, who stood near to the
colonel, leaned over and said something
to him
Il don't care damn who he is" said
the colonel IN reply to the whispered

1t was on the evening of the twelfth
of September, in the year seventeen hun
dred and seventy-seven. The yellow
sunlight stgeamed in through the Win
dows, ard all the room was full of the
good smell of supper, The blue china
cups and saucers and plates and dishes,
the pewter spoons, and the iron knives
and two-pron"ed forks, polished till they
shOne Iikn silver. caught the light and
winked and sparkled aud twinkled back
again at the broad yellow patches of
light on the door
Friend Sparks and his family sat at
supper, bat though the smell of it was
so good the knives and forks and spoons
clattered in a liStlasS fashion, and the
family ate and drank without much
heart in the matter.
Il don't know" said Friend Joseph,
laying down his knife and fork and look
ing around at his daughters, and more
especially at his niece, Matte Dixon
~ don't know what il is that sets you
girls so agog over a laced hat and epau-
lets and blue coat and brass buttons.
Here was General Washington and his
army not more than a month in town,
and now, because he has gone and takes
away with him his snipe jack aids-de-
camp and captains and majors, all the
women in Wilmington and Brandywine
are in the vapors."
Now men are not quick ut seeing
things, but the women knew very well
why Matte Dixon's eyes were red. In
deed, gloom had fallen upon them all
ever since a young farmer had ridden
down from Chadds Ford that morning,
bringing the news of a great battle that
had been fought up the Brandywine
Later in the day two farmers wagons
had passed through the village, bringing
each load of wounded men lying in the
straw.
But Friend Joseph Sparks did not
notice Mattie's red eyes.
81 do not" said he presently, separat-
ing the don't in his emphasis-''I do not
see what it is about a shedder of blood
that turns a woman's head. |. for one,
should be sorry to see a daughter or a
niece of mine tied to such an unregener-
ate, soulless son of Anak as one of those
young men who make bloodshed trade,
and think that blue coat and brass but
tons excuse murder. Now there was a
battle fought yesterday" he continued,
leaning back in his chair and folding his
hands, land no doubt a many likely
young men killed or MANNED for life.
There was that Philip Van Cleft who
came here so often when The worthy
Friend was suddenly interrupted in his
monologue by Matte Dixon rising so
precipitately as to knock her chair over
backward with loud clatter upon the
floor, and then hurrying from the room
without a word, feeling in her pocket
for her handkerchief as she went.

The victory of New Orleans, won.by West
ern rihemen behind strong defensive po-
sition, and the brilliant science of our
navy and privateers redeemed the war of
1872 from utter disgrace. The peace policy
of Jefferson had reduced the national debt
by $40, 000, 900, but it was followed by a war
that cost 800. 000. 900 and 10000 lives, war
that might have been averted or been
short and successful had Jefferson and
Madison urged the iudicious fostering OF
our army and navy. So pitiably weak were
we in 1872 from shameful lack of prepare
ton that England would have swept our
land with bosom Of destructive war had
not the Napoleonic wars largely absorbed
her men and money. The Mexican war
was won over an enemy that was con-
temptible from a military point of view;
the Mexicans fought bravely. but in arms,
equipment, intelligence and generalship
they were not equal to the Turks of that
day. The war of 1861 found US with an
army of 1900 men and navy of ninety
vessels, forty-two of which were in commits

In another column We publish q commu-
nicaton from Mr.. Spring. Mr.. Spring is
not a stupid or ignorant man, and we are
therefore forced to believe that he is
willing disciple of Grady, the dead evan
gelist Of insincerity whom he defends. He
offers a mass of special pleading in extern
uation Of a great social and political
wrong of fundamental and far-reaching
consequence for the future, and deliber-
ately ignores the fact that the present sit
uation st the South, which Mr.. Grady
helped TO secure and perpetuate, is not
merely a wrong 10 the negro, but a gross
wrong to the whole country; 20 every state
in the Union whose representation, based
upon free suffrage, is not made a
farce of through wholesale factional
suppression of the suffrage. The

stolen suffrage to which they are no more
entitled than they are to enjoy the goods

representation in congress and the cleo

The incapacity Of our people to sppreci-

"In peace prepare for war;" dates back to
the presidency of Jefferson, whose parsi-

10000 men, half of them raw recruits, and
seventeen vessels. The war of 1912 lasted

The South has succeeded not only in
disfranching the negro, but in voting for
him. This outrage will at no distant day
be rebuked at least by the constitutional
reduction of her representation, but worse
than this will be the social and political
retrlbution that will follow this system
attic education to lawlessness, making
armed ruffians ultimately as reckless Of
the lives of white neighbors as they are Of
black. The tiger that gets his first taste
of human flesh in the shape of low
Hindoo is ever afterwards imam eater"
but his next victim may be the
British resident that rules the Hindoo.
The spirit of murder and violence
that grows out of the doctrine that any
man is so low that his life or liberty may
be outraged with impunity ends miseraby
in the opinion that there is no man so
high but his life or liberty may be ruth
lessly taken at the mere caprice of any
angry faction. The South, if it persists
in its present policy of securing and per-
petuating political power by theft, vio-
lence and fraud, will within fifty years be
torn to pieces by its own hounds, whom it
has trained to hunt black humanity, but
who will one day be sure to hunt their

LETTY'S GLOBE.

When Lefty had scarce passed her third giao
year,
And her young, artless words began to flow,
One day we gave the child a colored sphere
OF the wide earth, that she might marx ana
know
By tint and outline all It's sea and land.
SIZE patted all the world; old empires peeped
Betwe en- her baby fingers; her soft hand
Was welcome at all frontiers; how she leaped
And laughed and prattled in her pride OF ollssl
But when we turned her sweet unearned eye
On our own isle she raised joyous cry:
"Oh, yesl l see it-Letty's home is there!'
And while she hid all England With kiss,
Bright oyer Europe fell her golden hair.

The message of President Harrison TO
strongly increase the good impression
which the country has formed of him-an
impression which has mmistakably grown
in very marked way during the past year
The message is a careful pen picture of the
operations of the government for the year
1891. Much space is devoted to a clear
and Ineligible statement regarding our re-
lations with foreign countries. II speaks
firmly with regard to the attitude shown 10y
Chill toward the United States, and it is
understood that telegraphic summary on
this point produced a sensation when re
ceiycd at Valparaiso.
The President discusses in fair and
temperate way The operation Of the new
tariff. He shows the good results already
produced by the law. and argues convinc-
ingly against any attempt for its hasty APP
peal. He shows that the operation of the
present silver law is satisfactory, and points
ont clearly the dangers which would result
from the adoption of free-conage policy.
Residents of the remote farming districts
will learn with interest that Mr. Harrison
believes that the next step in advance by
the post-otiice department should be in the
way of giving the residents Of such dis
tricts better postal facilities.
The most significant part of the mes
sage. however, is that in which the Presi-
dent treats of the right of suffrage and the
manner of election of presidential electors,
The Infamous action of the Democrats of
the Michigan Legislature furnishes the text
for what is said upon the last-namrd sub
iect. The Democrats of Michigan. having
captured the legislature, proceeded at once
to gerrymander the state, so as to secure
several Democratic districts. and then. not
content with this, they passed a law re-
quiring that presidential electors should be
chosen, not on one general ballot. as is
done in all the other states. but by Con-
gressional districts, thus making sure as
they believed, OF several Democratic votes
from the Republican state of Michigan in
next years electoral college. The Presi-
dents recommendation for the appoint
"i'it VI 'oHlHllSSloll 10 carefully lHNtsl-
gate this whole subject, and fix by consti-
tutional amendment a uniform method of
choosing presidential electors, is statesman
like in the highest degree.
The Democratic papers say that the ut
terance of the message on the suffrage
question. and the protection of the ballot
from fraud and force, has a strong 'parti-
san bias, but it is kind of partisanship
which will receive warm endorsement in

The hot fight for the speakeIship of the
new Democratic House ended on Monday
evening with the nomination of Charles F.
Crisp of Georgia. Balloting began i'm the
Democratic caucus on Saturday and con
tinued until late hour with no decisive
result being reached, II ballots in all be-
ing taken on that day. At the start the
vote stood 81 for Crisp, IS for Mills, 32 for
Springer, Is for Mcmillan, II for Hatch
On the 18th ballot Crisp had gained to %,
and Mills to 81, while Springer had fallen
to Il, Mcmillan to 10 and Hatch to ,.
Crisp gained steadily on Monday. and his
nomination came on the Both ballot. when
he had 10 votes to l05 for Mills and for
Springer. The decisive vote was cast bv
Mr. Springer himself, and his action was
greeted with wild applause After Spring
er had cast his vote for Crisp it required
only two votes more to nominate him. and
these quickly came from two of Springer's
friends
The result is universally recognized as a
triumph for the Hill and Tammany faction
of the Democratic party and is a CORES
ponding defeat for Mr.. Cleveland and his
friends. In spite of all that has been said
to the contrary the question of the next
Democratic nominee for President entered
actively into the contest, and Mr. Clevc-
lands friends brought all their forces to
bear in favor of the election of Mr. Mills.
The New England Democratic and Mug
wump members voted steadily for Mills al
most without exception. George Fred Will
liams, Sherman Hoar and John +. An
drew of Massachusetts voted for him to
the very end.
The New York Times, which is the lead
ing exponent of the Mugwump supporters of
Mr.. Cleveland, is outspoken in its declara-
tion that the triumph of Crisp means the
disappointment and humiliation" of
those Independent voters without whom
the Democratic party cannot triumph next
year. Mr., Mills won New England sup
port because he stood for tariff reform"
while Crisp was represented as favoring
the protection element in the Democratic
party. As soon, however, as his nomina-
tion had taken place he made haste to say
in a speech acknowledging the honor: II
pledge myself here and now to devote what
ever of industry and ability | possess to
the advancement of the real interests of
the Democratic party. | beg TO say to you
now, that my election means no step back
ward in tariff reform. l beg to say to you
that there is in our party today no man
who more earnestly believes in the Demo
cratic doctrine of tariff reform than do"

he lived in New York city would be a

Martin d. LOppy was executed by cleo
tricity at the Sing Sing, n. Y, prison on
Monday. According to the accounts which
have reached the public it was necessary
to turn on the current for a second time
before death resulted.
All records were beaten in the Senate
Thursday when 6l2 bills and eight joint
resolutions were introduced. This is almost
100 more than ever heretofore introduced
in one day. Many of these bills have
made their appearance in preceding Con
crosses.
A Washington despatch of Monday
night says: Gov. Proctor is new to the SEN
ate, but he did not appear new to any
member of that body. He was most cor
daily greeted, hands being outstretched to
him everywhere. IF | was a rich man,
said Senator, Il would have a few flow
ers, too, but a poor man has not much
chance in such a rich body as this The
statement was intended to be sarcastic
reflection upon the profusion of flowers
which happened to be upon the desks of
those Senators who could the best afford
to buy them.
