GUARD THE BALLOT.
Ex-Governor Bullock, Of Georgia, De.
nOunces the Tucker Bill.

nOunces the Tucker Bill.
During recent visit in New York
City Ex-Governor Bullock, of Georgia,
was seen and interviewed by a reporter
for The Press. When asked what he
thought of the Tucker bill to repeal
the Federal Election Law, he said:
"What l think of the Tucker bill,
repeating laws enacted to carry in to
effect the war amendments to the con-
stitutiOn, would occupy more space
than your paper would care to give or
the public would be interested in read
ing i do not hesitate, however, to
express my opinion if you wish for it,
"Those amendments were the basis
for settlement of the war issues, and on
the faith of which we we're permitted
to resume our place as States in the
Union. When your people realize the
full intent of the Tucker bill, the ef-
feet will be like our firing on Fort
Sumter in 1861.
THE repeal bill is not only unpatri-
otto but for our section it is bad politics.
That part of the laws Intended to secure
free, fair elections, with an honest re-
turn of the results. had no effect in our
section of the country. 1t did not in
the slightest degree interfere with our
complete home rule" But it did in a
partial degree restrain the criminal
leaders in the slums of the large North
ern cities from so fraudently multiply
ing the returns of that vote as to over
ride the votes of your intelligent and
worthy citizens, and we, who justly
pride ourselves on the fact that at home
our public affairs are in control af our
best people have the modification of
seeing ourselves aligned in politics with
the very dregs of society at this end of
the line."
Sfhsse views seem strange, Governor,
from one who was in the Confederate
service"
well, there ia vast difference be-
tween having been in the Confederate
service during the war and in now try
ing to carry out the Confederate policy
for the United States. wear the but
ton of Confederate veteran, am a
member of our Confederate Survivors
Association at home and have no apol-
ogies to offer or retractions to make for
my services to the Confederacy. But
have never hesitated to express in a
proper way and time the opinion that
secession political leaders who pushed
apeaceful, prosperous and happy coun-
try into a suicidal war, are guilty of
the greatest crime in history.
VI give way to none in my admira-
tion for the courage and devotion of
our people in standing up to the fight
against all odds when we were brought
face to face with war. The heroism of
our officers and men and the self sacri-
flee of our noble women have not been
equaled, but it can never be made to
justify the political tricksters who
forced upon us secession and war when
the Government stood ready to carry
into effect peaceful and gradual eman-
cipation of slaves, with liberal COM
pensation in money to their owners for
property value in the slave.
II repeat, the secession gun on Fort
Sumter is reechoed by paroled Con-
federate's vote for repeal of laws
whice form the basis of our being read
mitted to the Union"

McKinley's Standing.

Will am Mckinley stands today for
the foremost issue of American politics.
he stands for America against Europe,
for industrial independence against in
dustrial servitude, for the enlighten-
ment, prosperity and progress of Amer
icanship against poverty and degrada-
ton of Democratic free trade. He is a
champion of the comfort and content.
ment that protection has planted in the
American home; of the manhood of
men that toll of the advancement and
elevation of the masses of the Ameri.
can people.
Governor Mckinley represents in the
eyes Of the whole world all that is most
virile, independent and distinctive in
Americanism. He 10 honored with the
bitter hatred of foreign monopolists
who would gladly see the overthrow OF
the American Republic, who seek the
ruin of American industries, and who
hope to regain control of the American n
market through Democratic treason to
the principles of Washington, Hamil'
ton, jackson and Lincoln. Because he
is the standard bearer of protection
and because of his integrity, patriotism
and craftsmanship, the Republicans OF
Ohio have renominated him for the
Governorship of their State. The Press
predicts that his canvass of Ohio will
be triumphal tour.-New York Press.

GOOD FOR EVIL.
A Story of Governor Steward, of Missouri,
and a SteambOatman.


and a Steamboatman.
A prominent lawyer relates to a
correspondent of the New York
Sun that many years ago, while he
was Encouragement OF Missouri,
he happened to be in Governor
Stewards Office when a convict was
brought in from the penitentiary
to receive pardon at the governors
hands. The convict was "steam-
boatman," a large, powerful fellow,
with the rough manners Of his class.
The governor looked at the man,
and seemed strangely affected, scru-
tinizing him long and closely.
Then he signed the document that
restored him to liberty; but before
handing it to him, he said
"You will commit some other
crime i fear, and soon be back III
thepenitentiary."
The man protested solemnly that
such thing should never happen.
The governor looked doubtful, and
after'a few minutes said:
-"You will go back on the river
end be a mate again, l suppose?"
The man said yes, that was his
intention.
"Well, / want You topromise me
one thing" continued the governor.
81 want you to pledge me your
word that when you are a mate
again you will never take billet
of wood and drive a poor, sick boy
out of his bunk to help you load
your boat on stormy night"
The man answered that he never
would, and seemed surprised, and
inquired why the governorreques
ed such a pledge.
BECAUSE" answered Governor
Steward, "some day that boy may
become governor and you may wan
him to pardon you for some crime
zone black, stormy night, many
years ago, you stopped your boa
on the Mississippi River to take OF
a load Of wood. There was.a DO,
on board working, his passage from
New<Orleans to st. Louis, but h
was very sick Of a fever, and wa
lying in his bunk. You had mel
, enough to do the work, but yor
7 went to that boy with a stick 0
5 wood in your hand, drove him o.
/ deck with blows and curses, an
t kept him toiling like a slave unit
the load was.completed.
: 81 was that boy. Here is you
s pardon. Never again be guilty {
: so brutal an act"
t The prisoner took the pardon
e covered his face, and went out.

S. E. Kierolf, of Jackson, Tenn,

Sunday School Convention, which
met at st. Louis and adjourned q
few weeks ago. Among the feat

Mr.. Kierolf met and conversed with
another delegate, Rev. J.H. Dobbs,

marked:

Mr.. Kierolf.
Johnson's Island? June! Why
I was a guard there myself at that
time! I've got a rubber watch
chain at home now that was made
by a rebel prisoner. I bought it
when | was at Fort Johnson and
treasure it as a souvenir Of the

THE STARS AND STRIPES.
How the Flag of the American. Republic
First Came Into Being.

odllll INlCuOidS,l
The early history of our great
flag is very,interesting.
1t is a matter Of record that dur
ing the early days Of the revolution
the colonists made use Of flags of
various devices.
1t is now generally accepted as
a fact that the final idea of the stars
and stripes as a national flag, was
borrowed from or suggested by the
coat Of arms Of George Washing
toms family.
In the spring Of 1777 Congress
appointed a committee authorized
to designa suitable flag for the ma
ton"
This committee seems to have
consisted of General George Wash
ington and Robert Morris. They
called upon Mrs. Elizabeth Ross,
ofPhiladelphia, and from a pencil
drawing by General Washington
engaged herto mskess flag. Mrs.
'"Betsy" Ross was a milliner whose
principal customers were the Quak-
or ladies. She came from good CO.
lonial stock. The story goes that
during this call at that little old
building at 239 Arch street, Phila-
delphia, General Washington, after
explaining his drawing to Betsy
Ross, directed that the stars should
be six-pointed ones. Mrs. Ross OBJ
jected to this, and argued that the
stars in the sky seemed to have but
five points. Following her argu.
ment by practical demonstration
/ she folded piece of paper, and
with single clip Of the scissors GU
a perfect five-pointed star. This
was too much for the committee
and without further argument Bet
/ sy Ross prevailed.
This flag, the first Of number
she made, was cut outand complet
| ed in the back parlor, of her httl,
| Arch street home.
l 1t was the first legally establish
ed emblem, and was adopted b,
Congress June IA, 1777, under tn
acts which provided for stripes al
ternately red and white, with a un
ion of thirteen white stars in a fell
of blue. This actread as follows
Resolved, That the flag of tn
} United States be thirteen stripes
alternately red and white; that tn
union be thirteen stars, white in
bluefeld, representing a new COZ
stellation.'
Words in those days were few

The Western roads are at last ready
to come down on Worlds fair rates,
and they are ready TO get almost to the
bottom. The Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul, Northwestern, Santa Fc and
Rock Island roads have requested Chair.
man Caldwell TO call meeting at 1880
O'Clock ON Friday morning of this week
for the purpose Of considering Worlds
fair rates. The request for the call says
that 1t Is desirable that tickets be sold
every day, good for passage on regular
Chicago trains, and good for the return
passage from Chicago any day up to and
including n final return limit OF abOut
thirty days. The Onc-way rates between
important terminals are to he based
pruporti0nately upon whatever reductions
may be made or agreed upon for the
round-trip rates. The proportions which
the association will consider, are In spec
life foIm as follows:
The establishment of fare of one
and one-thrd for the round trip from
points within 200 miles Of Chicago.
One fare for the round trip from points
200 miles or over from Chicago. the
rate to he graded back until the one
and one-third fare is reached.
Continuous passage in each direction.
Tickets good for the going passage
commencing on tue ulic OF SUE, NuN
good for return passage from Chicago
for any date within the final return
limit.
Tickets to be good for passage on any
car on regular trains
Tickets to be sold every day from
July 70 TO August 81
One-wny rates between important
terminals are TO be agreed upon, aud pro.
portionate rates are to be granted for
st. Louis. In addition to this. all rates
are 10 be used for selling and basing
purposes.
The association may not decide to
yield all the points asked by the lines,
but II is practically foregone conclusion
that II will grant the most important
One-that of one fare for the round
trip, and the chances are very strong
that they will adopt most of the others.
The truth of the matter is that the pas.
scnger business for July Il showing a
marked decrease from that of Jane,
and the roads are beginning 10 feel I'M
easy. People are not flOcking to the fair
quite ms much rs the roads anticipated,
and they now realize that something
must be done and done Mt once Chair
man Caldwell issued the call for the
meeting on Friday as requested. and
next week will probably see the new
rates in effect.

White winged peace once again reigns
between the Texas and Pacific aud the
Katy.
The trouble between the two roads
was some two and half years old. and
the facts are familiar to all the railroad
people, and more or less so to the many
merchants who have suffered by the dis
agreement, which was brought about by
II misunderstanding between General
Freight Agents Hinton and Waldo re-
garding the division of freight rates ON
goods shipped from New Orleans over
the Texas and Pacific with the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas as n connecting line
TO Texas points The Texas and Pacific
claim that the Missouri, Kansas aud
Texas were in the wrong, aud that Mr..
Waldo would make no reasonable terms.
Whoever was wrong, relations between
the two roads were almost wholly broken
of. and only In cases of the utmost
necessity did either road ship goods
that would have to be given TO the other
for final delivery. The Texas and Pa
ciiic, in order to accommodate some Of
the Louisiana merchants, occasionally
took shipments that could reach their
destination only via the katy" and in
such eases had to pay the connecting
line full charges. thus losing money on
the shipments in nearly every instance.
The Missouri. Kansas and Texas did not
give the Texas and Pacific any business
at all.
This condition of affairs naturally i'm
posed q hardship on shippers and they
were forced. in making shipments to
points ON the Missouri. Kansas and
Texas, to send by a very circuitous route,
and the readjustment of the troubles
through the efforts Of Mr.. Sargent Is
generally aud favorably commented as as
o cause Of graduation to both the two
roads and the shippers. who were injured
by the late unpleasantness

The Maple leaf in the West aud the
New York Central in the East have set
the pace for Western lines on Worlds
fair rates, having made straight rate
of one fare for the ronnd trip. and II
is thought that the time is not far of
when the Western lines may follow

Kansas City may have come caring on
the matter.
