Clan System of Government.

The clan system of government was in
its way an ideally perfect one-probably
the only perfect one that has ever existed
Perhaps it was the very thoroughness of
its adaptation to the early needs that made
it so hard to adjust to new necessities In
its principles and motives it was essen
TALLY opposed to the ben of modern infu
ences. Its appeal was to sentiment rather
thar to law or even reason. 1t was a sys
tenn not of the letter, but of the spirit.
The clansman was not the subject-a
term implying some sort of conquest-but
the kinsman of his chief. The chief had no
title to indicate "a distant superiority 1"
He was simply the Macleod or MacPher
son or Macshimei. But while the clans
man cherished a keen sense of independ
ence, and expected to be treated by his
chief with friendly familiarity, the cold
and degrading equality typified in the Pa
risian citizenship-child and parent of
revolutions-would have had for him no
charm.
1t was his peculiar pride to claim the
relationship to- superior, and in itself the
very thought of kinship was thus inspir
ing and e%nnobling. Obedience became
rather a privilege than a task, and no pos
slble bribery or menace could shake his
uuellly. reward the saSSenach, or the
members of clans at feud with him. he
might act meanly, treecherously and cru
ely without check and without compunc-
ton, for there he recognized no moral obi
cation whatever.
But as a clansman to his clan he was
courteous, truthful, %virtuous, benevolent,
with notions of honor as punctilious as
those of the ancient knight. Not only was
the standard of public morality a high
one, but it was impossible to evade or de
fly it. Most clans had II certain number
of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of captives-but
pauper or criminal class there was none.
for the crimes of the clansman were com
mitted only against his enemies, and it
was by stealing from them he relieved the
stress of poverty.
No code of laws-after all. ii may be a
symptom of decay and no proof of ad
vance in the art of government-stood be
tween him and the personality of his chief,
and the chiefs kindness, with the chiefs
justice and wisdom, begot a far warmer
esteem for law and order than the most
admirable set of rules could ever nave in
spired.-Scottish American.

university faculty that he wanted To get
knowledge so that he might be able to
teach his people.
Lee was just a month upon the road. The
story he told of his ambition gained him so
many friends along the route that he had
little difficulty in finding food and lodging.
and he found that the white people were
quite as willing to assist him as those of his
own race. Whenever it was possible. he
repaid his benefactors by doing some sort
of work for them. When he reached At
lanta, he had 10 cents more in his pockets
b when he started from Vicksburg.
Some doubt as to the truth of his story
about his long walk was expressed at the
college, but his account of himself was Ill
timately verified in every particular, and
he was fed and clothed and kept at hard
work for three weeks as a test of his hon
esty of purpose and his faithfulness. Hav-
ing proved his industry and demonstrated
his ardent desire to get ahead, he was adj
mitted to the grammar course, which he
attends faithfully, working hard for his
subsistence during the hours not devoted to
study.
Lee formerly attended the public schools
in Vicksburg, and his desire for knowledge
became a passion. He heard of the Atlanta
university and wrote for a catalogue. Pres
ident Bumstead sent him one and at the
same time advised him to save some money
before coming to Atlanta. Lee was too
eager to wait and decided to take the
chances of finding employment in Atlanta
while pursuing his studies. So far he has
not been disappointed, and If he retains the
persistence with which he has shown him-
self so well endowed the world will hear
more of him in the future.

MRS. GRANTS SAN DIEGO HOME.

go IN ONlh
ter at San Diego and will make that city
their permanent home. Colonel Fred Grant
has not yet been converted and still resides
in New York.
U. S. Grant, Jr.-"Buck" Grant, as his
intimates used to call him-bas purchased
what is conceded to be the finest house in
San Diego and has secured a residence of
which he may leRitimately be proud. The
house is only 5 years old, but has become
locally famous in a historic way as well as
for its architectural beauty. 1t was built
by a San Diegan who had made a great
deal OF money in the notorious land boom
and cost him 500, 600. The collapse of the
boom soon compelled him to part with his
property to another boomer whom the
skinkage in values had not yet so seriously
affected, and in his turn the second owner
found the mansion too costly an invest
ment. Then the house stood vacant until
Jesse Grant saw it and persuaded his broth
er to purchase it.
The house is as complete as architectural
art could make it-roomy, comfortable, ar
tistic and elegant. 1t is "A modified Queen
Anne In style and has no end of gables and
balconies and beautifully broken angles
and lines. There are three stories, the lower
one constructed of brick and brownstone
anu the upper ones or wood. The view it
commands is superb and unobstructed.
From its balconies and windows the eye
may sweep the city, the bay, the ocean and
the mountains. Coronado and Point Iona
are in plain view, and through the blue
haze Of distance the islands of the ocean are
visible.
Along the front of the house at the south
west corner is a broad paved balcony, with
a wall OF cut stone 3 feet high, capped by
red sandstone. At the southeast corner is
an ample piazza. The front door is of oak.
1t Is 8 feet wide, nearly 4 inches thick and
carved in intricate patterns. The upper
half is of plate glass, protected by a deli
cately meshed sheath of bronze. The I'D
proaches and this door prepare the visitor
for the beautiful interior.
Excellent taste has been DISPLAYED
throughout the structure in the selection OF
materials. There are % rooms, exclusive of
smaller apartments, and they are finished
IN birdseye maple, mahogany, oak, cedar,
cherry and various other precious woods,
with ~ireplaces of Tennessee marble and
Mexican onyx. The ballroom, 40 feet long
and half as wide, has white pine woodwork,
with redwood panels and "A floor of oak laid
in concrete. The house is lighted by cleo

Judge Tourgee on Lynching.

Columbus, O., February 21.-H. G..
Smith, colored member Of the Ohio
House of Representatives, has received
from Judge Tourgee, the author of
"A FOOLS Errand." letter treating Of
the recent lynching of a colored man in
Adams county in.this state, and the sub
sequenJ failure of the grand jury, of that
county to indict the offenders whose
identity was notorious. With the letter
to Mr.. Smith is copy of one addressed
to Governor Mckinley and written just
after the mob outrage. In the letter TO
Governor Mckinley, Judge Tourgee dis
cusses the danger of mobs ands1ynchings
as symptoms Of a disease rather than the
disease itself, and says such outbreaks
are always forerunners of anarchy. He
says the only way to enforce law against
lynchers and to prevent such outrages
is to give the friends--of the lynched men
redress at law in civil action, and
suggests that a law should be passed
providing that when lynching occurs
the relatives of the murdered man should
have ground for action against the
county in which it occurred.
