Attacks on the Union Army which Are
"Hailed with JOY at the South.
Mr.. Percy Greg, an enlightened Eng
lishmsn who had taken the pains to in
vestigate matters, published some five
years back his conclusions from q COM
plete survey of the whole field. and a
most admirable and impartial account
of things he has given, and we hail with
joy an immediate prospect for its repub-
LEGATION here in a cheap form that will
put it within easy reach Of all southern
homes. We wish that space justified us
in giving copiohs extracts from this
book, that our pc pie might see the fair
and Just spirit il which 1t is written.
We shall not forbear, however, to quote
one passage from which they may see
that while Their author is impartial he
has not been animated by q spirit that
would allow them to suffer injustice.
Describing Sherman's march to the sea
he says tvol. 2, p. 4S6):
"Kilpatric: who commanded the
cavalry-boasted that a track forty miles
broad was marked by the brick Chin
neys he had burned, and by no other
sign Of human habitation. The vaunt
would seem exaggerated were it not
fully borne out by contemporary evil
dences.
These were the achievements on
which northern generals appear to have
relied for approval and reward; these
the means of subjugation on which the
federal goverument-with a million and
a half of soldiers under arms-chose to
rely. The ccnfederacy was to be ex-
hausted by devastation rather than con-
quered in fair fight; by driving aged
men, refined and delicate ladies and ten
Derby nurtured children and young girls
to seek shelter in woods and swamps, to
feed on roots and acorns and such rem
nants Of their harvests as had escaped
the invader"

mistake IN reading this work.-Rich-

ley bill hurts Great Britain more than
all the tariff measures ever before n

mine whether English products shall
fill the shelves of our stores or whether
American goods shall fill them. A Re
publican victory means American fac.
tories and work for American mechan-

factories shall produce the goods, and
that our money now paid TO American

Ex-Congressman j. Ii. Murphy. of
Iowa, is reported by the Raleigh
News and Observer as expressing senti-
inents regarding Union soldiers as VIC
lent and uncomplimentary as any ex-
pressed by any southerner. The follow
ing extract from that paper is a portion
of its account of Mr.. Murphy's speech
delivered at Raleigh Sept. 10:
THE speaker next called attention to
the infamous pension system. 1t now
amounts to $50, OOO, GOO per annum In
a few years more at the present ratio of
increase it will reach the limit of cur
revenue. II icasd shame that are should
hare TO PIT a hands in orr pockets to

Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth congresses
from the Davenport Qa.) district, a
native of Massachusetts,, and posed in
BIS candidates. and while in congress
as a friend Of the soldier.
This is the way he talks when he
thinks he is alone with the southerners
and is privileged to express his senti-
meuts.

MOTHERS M POLITICS.
An Interesting, Important and Timely
Suggestion.

An Interesting, Important and Timely
Suggestion.
1t is related of a young mother, a
woman of great personal beauty, that
her only child was a little girl of excess
i've plainness. II grieved the young
mother for long, but as the child grevz a
realizing sense of what attractions she
might create in her came to the mother.
The first step she took to this was to cul-
tivate in herself a soft, musical and ex-
pressive voice, 50 that the child would
by association and imitation develop the
same. In every way this mother i'm
proved herself in physical, mental.
moral and spiritual qualities-and the
child received the impress Of 1t ell and
grew in attractions that a thousandfold
compensated for ~irregularity of feature,
her expressive face becoming the reflex
Of her high and cultured nature.
Mothers Of sons who will n day
vote, and Of daughters who will infu-
ence ether mothers sons, should hold it
their privilege and their duty to grow
in political knowledge, to imbibe and
discuss the principles Of that party
which stands for the right, for the
temperate, for the oppressed and for the
Advancement Of good government, SO
that their children may become familiar
with the political as with ether vital
questions that penetrate the home, and
come up to manhood and womanhood
with a clear understanding of their
power as part Of a great political sys-
tenn, and ready and eager to give their
best and do their best for the glory of
their country and the security Of their
homes.
Mothers who wish to embrace the pur-
est political views so that they may
transmit them to the receptive young
minds about them should make a on
scientious study of the principles and
platforms of the two great political par
ties, no matter what their own early en-
vironment may have been. In the &C
quiring Of that knowledge which is to
be the nucleus Of their children's politi-
cal growth they will find that the prin-
ciples which they can in honesty and
purity afford to graft into the young
lives intrusted to them are those of the
party which pursues educational policies
and which is the friend and supporter of
every distinctively American thought
and interest. Mothers of American
children will attach themselves and
cling to that party which represents an
upright and brilliant past, and which
because of its grand principles must be
the great party of the future, and under
its protection and in its faith will rear
their sens and daughters.

AN ENGLISH HOWL OF ANGUISH.
C1eye1and's Election the Only Hope for
British Manufacturers.

Cleye1and's Election the Only Hope for
British Manufacturers.
The outlook for British trade is de-
cidedly not encouraging just at present.
The effect of the ''stone wall" Of tariff
which our cousins in the United States
ga little more than kin and less than
kind"-have erected around their terri
tory avOwedly to keep out British manu-
features is every day becoming more
disastrously apparent in this country.
Already Saltaire, that once proud
model of an English industrial commu-
nifty, is as good as gone. The Welsh
tin plate industry Is ruined, and the
plush trade of Huddersield Is about to
be transferred bodily across the Allan
tic TO a point within the tariff wall.
The cotton trade of Lancashire is so de-
pressed that no one knows what may
come next, and consequently all brisk
enterprise is strangled and a general
feeling of apprehension prevails as re-
CARDS what the morrow may bring
forth. The latest evidence of the in
jury done to British trade by the Nc
Kinley tariff-which, while not enrich
ing the United States population, but
only the interested manufacturers,
makes us on this side poor iEdeed-is
afforded by the balance sheet Of the
Steel Company of Scotland, which shows
q balance on the wrong side Of no less
than e13.O00.
Undoubtedly, failing the success at
the presidential polling of Mr.. Cleve-
land, who has pledged his party to a
revenue tariff, the future Of British
manufactures and Of all the subsidiary
industries depending upon them is dark
indeed. No doubt the old country will
pull through somehow, as she has done
before, but it is to be feared that if the
Mckinley tariff is to be indefinitely
maintained it will be at d cost in suffer
ing and poverty which is at present i'm
possible to estimate, and it may further
involve a Permanent lowering of the
greatly improved standard of comfort
which has been attained by the working
classes of this country during the pres
ent century. Liverpool Echo, Sept. l6.

Queer suit Filed Against the Masons and
III Fellows.

Byron f. Lockwood, OF jackson,
Michigan, has filed a bill Of complaint
in the circuit court of that state.
He is attorney for himself. The suit
he commences is against the Masonic
and Odd Fellow fraternities OF that
city and the world, and he demands
$50, 600 damages for injuries he claims
to have sustained to character and
feelings by reason of having been
black-balled several years ago. His
bill covers forty pages of closely
written legal cap, and he accuse the
fraternities of using mysterious and
unearthly methods of discovering
secrets, and says that they hypnotic
the applicants for admission to the
orders and otherwise behave In
uncanny ways. The suit is by long
odds the most unique ever commenced.

During the past nine months business

the information), which have been
strictly mercantile or industrial in char
acter, not emitting those of banking in

gregated 1873, a total which does not
vary materially from the like total for
nine months of 1888, nine years ago, and
which is smaller than the total number
of business failures throughout the coun-
try during nine months of any preceding
year since 1888, with the exception Of
1887, when the total was 6,95S, and 1888,
when the aggregate was 1880. As COM
pared with nine months of 1891 the re-
duction in the total number of business
failures is 1,52S, or II per cent, and as
compared with a likeportion of 1890 the
falling away is 200, or less than 3 per
cent.-Bradstreets.

Thomas H.. Carter, Chairman Republican Com
mittee:
DEAR SIR-Below give the reasons why
Wayne MacVeagh, Judge Gresham and j de-
sert Harrison and protection. and come out for
noble Grover Cleveland and free trade:
We are against Harrison because he is an
honest Christian; because be is for temper
ance, and for twenty years has been a Chris
tian vestryman, and twice a day bows down In
family prayer.
We are against Harrison because he drew
his sword for the republic in 1861, while noble
Grover Cleveland bravely staid at home and
hired a substitute and paid him with the
money earned by hanging criminals
We are down on Harrison because he did
not desert the nation, as did the noble Demo
cratic party, with secession in the senate,
theft in the war department, bankruptcy In
the treasury and treason in the field.
We are a Democrat
We are against Harrison and the Republican
party because they freed 100000 slavesi in 1868;
