uoNoRINa GRANT.

| The people Of the North very properly
make every effort TO keep the memory
OF General Grant from passing into obli-
Won. and so very naturally. they cele-
brated the recent anniversary of his birth
with great eclat and much speech max
| ing. This was all right in The main, but
that occasion has led to great many
| eulogies over the dead leader OF the
| Northern forces at the close of the war
between the States, which car only be
| truthfully characterized as fuisome In
the extreme.
We will not say anything o. Grant as
a general. except that II is hard TO see
how any one can 1e rank among the
leading military genius - Of the world.
who. with the imme1se resources at his
command. and being conf ,ntcd Oily by
a decimated army. which was every day
being more and more depleted, should
have failed TO take Richmond in half the
time taken by him. and With fully two
thirds less of loss than he suffered.
While he was a soldier he behaved like
one and the South will always applaud
his gallant and chivalrous conduct in
preventing the arrest of General Lee,
when the infamous Stanton sought to
break his sacredly pledged word that
the old hero should be unmOlested.
But when Grant ceased to be soldier
and became a politician, all his soldier
ly chivairy left him, and his friends
would do well TO close the book over that
portion Of his record. He has been lauded
as patroit, and yet mis- two administra-
lions were so reeking with corruption that
1t was common saying. even in the
North while he was President that the
man in the moon had TO hold his nose
when he passed over Washington. He has
been also praised TO the skies as a states
man desiring sincerely to restore frater-
nal relations between all sections Of the
Union, when It is a matter OF history that
he seized by force OF arms upon the re-
stored governments Of the States of Lou
isiana and Arkansas. turning out the
legally elected representatives Of the peo-
pie in those bodies, and seating. at the
point Of the bayonet. his own minions.
And as If this were not enough, he took
a room at the Capitol. just before he went
out of office, to personally lobby for the
ubiquitous Force bill Of Ben. Butler the
object of which was 10 suspend habeas
corpus in the South and. binding her
hand and foot, turn her over to the ten
der mercies Of her bitterest enemies. II
these were attempts to restore fraternal
relations between the sections. the South
might well exclaim. "Save us from our
friends
We do not desire to say anything OF
a man after he is dead, except what is
good. but General Grant belongs TO his
tory, and the truth should be told when
ever his friends endeavor to give him a
character to which he is not entitled. In
future we would advise his wo-shippers
to devote their plaudits 10 MS record IS

subsequent career

The year 1898 will be recorded in history
as noted for its storms and cyclones. The
North and South alike have suffered. but
Oklahoma Territory more than any other
region. The prosperous town Of Normant
and several villages were wiped out of
existence, and the destruction of life and
property was appalling. 1t has been well
said that the rapid increase OF tornadoes
is making the people of the West and
vous. and should there be any more de-
structive blows in those sections Of the
country. the inhabitants will be tempted
TO build their abode under the ground
instead Of on top Of it.

Smokeless powder. manufactured at
the Government works at Newport, has
been tested with satisfactory results in
guns up to six inches calibre, and the
use of ordinary gunpowder is likely TO
be abandoned in military or naval opera
tions in which small arms or rapid-firing
guns are the chief weapons. The Phia-
delphia Record truly says that 'the
contest Of chemical ingenuity which has
resulted in the development Of this
powerful destructive agent is scarcely
struggle between the armor plate makers
and the manufacturers Of big guns"

The land parade in New York last Fri
day presented a most remarkable sight.
Marines OF foreign nations. who have
been to war with each other many a
time, and who may soon again be at
each others threats, marched side by

probably never again be seen, and II

The Hon. J. L. NJ. Curry, in writing to
The Times says:
Like yourself, l am very strongly
OF the opinion that the depres-
sion under which agriculture and
other interests labor at the present mo-

legislation OF our Government. The old
Democratic doctrine of divorce OF gov

! Talk Of Building New Hotel-A Fub-
lie Park Among the Possibilities
WAYCROss, GA, March l-There is a
movement on foot TO build $4,000 tour
ist hotel here. a gentleman who is inter-
es.ed in the movement said that it was very
probable that stock company would be
organized. The idea is to build the hotel
within half mile Of the business portion Of
the city and surround it with beautiful
parks aud drives and run an electric car
line from the passenger depot 10 the hotel
The rapid growth OF the city demands q
hotel for tourists and invslids
A northern tourist remarked to-day that
he thought It strange that capitalists seek
ing investment IN the south had passed
WaYcross. The central location OF the
town, its railroad facilities, and the fact
that it is destined TO become of great COM
mercial importance, make it a most desira-
bic place for the investment of northern
capital.
Rev. DR.. r. G.. Pierson is a great eques-
TRAN. Every afternoon he rides out into
the country, going a distance of several
miles. The exercise and fresh air are neces-
sary to his health, as be has always been
weak physically. in the pulpit he has
youthful appearance, though he is about 40
years Of age. The homely face and shrill
voice Of the preacher impress the hearer at
first sight unfavorablY, but gradually the
face assumes a beautiful and heavenly ex-
preston, and the wonderful power of his
words cOnceals the defect in his voice.
When q suitable site can be secured the
city will at once go to work TO build pub
lie park. The park will contain nearly ten
acres. There will be drives, walks, beauti-
full trees shrubbery and flowers,
Northern tourists often ask, "Where IS
the parkF 1t is certain that the park will
be located and laid of in a few weeks, and
it will be an ornament to the place.
