not be applied 10 him uness they arc
also applied to Robert T.. Lee. Stoncwall

who carried a musket or buckled on

there was absolutely no difference be-
tween their cases. and. IL Mr.. Davis was
a traitor and rebel so was every sainted
patriot VINO laid down his NE Tor MS
beloved land. and VINO now look down
upon those who would rcvilc him, from his
seat at the right hand Of God. 10 speak
OF any OF these men as rebels or traitors
IS TO offer an insult to common sense ana
10 cruelty outrage every sentiment ana
feeling that marks the human being as
separate and distinct from the lower ami

show OF right is added to the fact tnat
an entire people acted upon II as one
man. all distinctions must be confounocd.
all settled principles must be ignored by
him who would speak Of Mr.. Davis as a
rebel and traitor. because ne eitaer LED

be- referred to and LETT in TINS state. IL
can never he mentioned In our presence
without the distinct statement ~ US
that we do not see how a candid and
impartial student can examine the ques-
ton Of secession and fan to conclude tnat
the Southern States had the plain right
to secede, and that the war, wnicn was
made upon them was wanton, cruel
one. Of aggression and conquest. This
much must always be understood wnen-
ever this subject is touched.
To-day IS 10 be an eventful one In
the life Of the people of the South. From

no tendency TO cultivate any impulse TO

made their new compact at the end Of
the war and agreed that the right OF
secession should be abandoned they did
IL without reservation ana with all the
LOYALTY in the world. But these cere-
monies here remind them OF the day
when the south's whole people cheerfully
offered themselves as a sacrhc for what
their consciences told them was their
duty. and they VIII stimulate that frame
of mind which disposes a people to such
a fact. and, in doing that they Will ex-
ercise an influence that will long be felt

What started as a dare devil venture is
now developing into fad. Years ago hill
climbing contests were all the go with
wheelmen, and many of the records made
then stand to this day. When the low
frames were first introduced, there were
large numbers of ordinaries in use, and it
was then plainly app;S9 Mt that the new in
vention greatly excelled the awkward ma
chine that soon passed into disuse. The
reckless riders of the early days of cycling
coasted down the steep inclines with the
speed of the wind and haZarded life and
limb on the enterprise. Accidents were
numerous, for the reason that the smallest
stone or rut was sufficient to hurl the rider
from his high sent, and not without severe
injury. But those days have passed-with
the ordinary. Today interest still centers
in coasting, and during the present year
more people are interested in it and more
people enjoy it than has characterized any
harmless sport that may be found in the
wheel. To such end has this craze gone
that scientists are even studying problem
regarding the best means to be employed
In cOasting.
One enthusiastic coaster has been max
ing experiments and finds that when the
seat is directly over the pedals, or nearer
the center of the wheel base, SO much fur
Their can a rider coast. Others have made
further discoveries, and it is not unlikely
that very soon the practice of putting the
seat far forward viii be in vogue with
WheelInen everywhere
