SOUTHERN LOYALTY.

In an article on the loyalty of the
Southern people to the memory of the
Lost Cause" and OF those who suffer-
ed for that cause, the Baltimore Sun
says that for the sake of the true great
ness and glory of our Government we
meaning the nation-ought to rejoice
that the people of the South are neither
hypocrites nor towards, but are brave
and honorable citizens, who must be
true to their country, because they can
not find 1t in their nature to be false to
themselves. The Richmond Dispatch,
in comment, very properly adds: This
is n sufficient answer TO n certain super
loyal class at the North who 20 into
Mysteries on the occasion of every
Confederate demonstration. Nothing
could be truer than the words OF the
Sun, and in their truth lies the signih-
canoe of the reunion to the nation
The fact that the South has nothing
TO recant. that she has remained stead
fast in her loyalty to the memories of
lS61-'65. and through all the interview
ing years to the present has kept burn
ing with pure and steady flame i'm the
ruined temple of her hope the lamp of
right and justice. is the surest guarantee
of her steadfastness in adherng to her
new obligations. The Intensity with
which the South cherishes the glorious
record of her armies and her navy, the
depth of her grief for those who fell
beneath the Stars and Bars and the
zeal with which she is seeking vindica-
ton by bringing out the simple truth
regarding the great struggle and the
motives that actuated her i'm entering
upon it, are among the strongest assur-
ances of the perpetuity OF this republic
That the South has no apology to make
for her course during and since the
war-that the Confederate soldiers have
been true to emsclVes-conStitutes
one of the greatest elements of strength
of the nation, as occasion will prove
should 1t arise
The Dispatch is right-the South has
no apology to make for the past. 1t
only wishes TO be let alone and it will
work out its own destiny.

HISTORY IN THE
SOUTH.
AMERICAN

Because the United Confederate Veto
rams ut their reunion in Richmond have
under consideration the establishment
of a chair OF American history in the
colleges of the South, and because the
report of the committee, to whom the
matter was referred divides the histo-
ries into three classes and because there
is no special declaration that the his
tories written in the South shall deal
fairly with the North. the New York
Mail and Express is alarmed lest its
friends may not get n fair showing.
1t forgets. or rather seems to forget
that any history written in the South,
or elsewhere, which does not deal as
fairly and thruthfully with one section
as with the other, would be worse than
no history at all. What the South wants
is a history free from bias-one that
deals with facts, whatever they may be,
and anything short of this will not do
The Mail and Express may recall the
fact that the class of histories which
have been written about the war be-
tween the States have not always been
fair towards the South But then this
is all right, in the opinion of the Mail
and Express and its friends, but the
people of the South do not think the
same way, and they propose to have
history which will be impartial in its
treatment of all that relates to the late
war. The Mail and Express ought not to
object to this. The report of the com
mittec made no special declaration that
the histories written in the South for
use in Southern colleges should
deal fairly with the North. because
such declaration was not necessary.
There is no intention or desire TO treat
anybody oranything unfairly in the pro-
posed history, and our contemporary
can rest easy on that point

WILL. MAvE TO LEAVE CUBA.

There are three classes OF people for
whom General Weyler, Captain General
of Cuba. has special hatred; first, the
Cuban insurgents, then the people of the
United States, and lastly, newspaper cor

And still the mystic cadence rose and

There was a hidden sadness in It's mirth.
And underneath the sadness radiant
joy:
Dim visions dawned of some new, glo-

Unstained and perfect, gold without

Love trembling DER the strings. faint
