LOYALTY TO THE OLD FLAG.
Yours faithfully,
NJ. w. Ransom.

No man III the country more large
ly enjoys the respect and esteem Of
his fellow Coun,rymen, without regard
TO the party or section, than does Gen
eral John b. Gordon, commander in
chief of the Confederate Veterans, and
none deserves to.
When war came, John b. Gordon,
without hesitation, cast his 10, with the
Confederacy, fighting throughout that
eventful period with valor and deter
mination, and not until ordered by
his superior officer hid he lay down
his arms. Being philosopher and a
patriot, he understood that when Lee
yielded up his sword at Appoma,tox it
meant the end Of the confederaCy, and
that henceforth there could be only
one people and one flag in these
United States; and recognizing that
tact, he accepted the situation, and the
world knows how we'll he has strivtn
20 remove from the minds his of coun-
ttymen all unpleasant reColleCtlons Of
unhappy strife which came SO near
dividing the country. Whether in the
N,Ith or South he always commands
attention, and no man, has done SO
much to heal the wounds of war as
this gallant xConfederate, who has
again been chosen as the leader Of the
vanqushed host in their peaceful mis-
sions. At the late reunion of the ex-
ConfederateS at Nashville General
Gordon was re elected commander in
chief and from his remarks on that oc-
casion the T,gtnlan publishes the fol-
lowing:
Mr. President, as long as the South 5
flag could be held alott in the smoke
and storm Of battle, no man followed
it, | think, more Loyalty or lovingly
than myself, and the Judge of all hearts
is my witness that I would freely have
given for its triumph the last drop OF
blood in these veins. No man is more
loyal now to the hallowed memories
that are embalmed with it, but when
that flag went down at AppomattoX,
| when the fate of war made it certain
| that this country was to remain enc,
with one flag and one destiny, turned
my thoughts and labors to the upbuid-
ing of that one country which was be.
| queathed to all the sections by the
fathers. From the morning at Apo
mattoX to this hour in Nashville it has
| been my highest political ambition to
be an humble instrument in the resto-
ration OF the fraternity and unity TO the
once divided and embttered sections,
upon 4 basis consistent with the honor
and manhood ofall.
These are the words of a patriot
| He states his position clearly, and
every true soldier in the land endorses
what he says. John B. Gordon fought
with valor unto the end at Appomat.
tox, then turned his attention to peace
full methods. He stands to-day cen.
trail figure among his countrymen-
the people of the United States which
is now as much the home OF the men
who fought for "the cause they could
not save" as it is that of those with
whom they were so long engaged in
deadly strife. II there were more
men in the United States like John B..
Gordon the differences of the pas,
would not have been so difficult of ad
Justment.-Norfolk IIrS!nIan.

As To LINCUING.

Close upon the heels of the lynch
ing in Ohio and M,ryland, comes the
shocking intelligence that the assault
er has again asserted himself in De
troit. He is d brute to Try the loyalty
of those who revere the law. How
public sentiment wayers under the
pressure of the damning wickedness
has been demonstrated since the affair
at Urbana. a Presbyterian minister
of that city has from his pulpit de
Tended the illegal hanging. He cites
that provision of the divine code which
says:
"They that commit such an abom-
nation shall be cut from among the
people" He asks each man to put
to himself the question: "lf that had
been My wife or daughter, what course
would have pursued in regard to the
Crlmlnalp' and makes the assertion
that "irom this time forward nothing
short of the death penalty for such
crimes will afford sufficient protection
to womanhood."
The above does not come from
Southern paper or Southern preacher,
mind you. We copy from the Detroit
Journal, which quotes the language Of
an Ohio minister.
In the State printing matter the
Council Of State, in whose hands it
was placed, selects a partisan favorite
for the job and decides to let the
book work to the lowest bidder. Why
this discrimination? Is it to skim off
the cream for pieCounter friend and
then attempt to fool the people with
the lowest bidder scheme upon what
remains9 This appears to be the size
of 1t. Watch the cost of the printing
for the next two years.-Winston .Ses-

Some years ago a resident of Salt
Lake, by the name of ellison, made the
discovery of valuable deposits of al
phaltum, in the Uncompagre Indian
Reservation in Utah and gave his name
to the material now known as Gilsonite.
The only other known extensive de-
posits of this substance are in the is
land of Trinadad. This bitumen has
become an immensely important factor
in the construction of pavements and
the Trinidad importations to this coun-
try are controlled by a very wealthy
corporation, the Barber Asphalt Paw
ing Company, of Washington, D. G..
which only sells to other contractors
at an immense advance on original
cost. In st. Louis a syndicate is trying
to gain control of the Utah deposits
and the efforts of these men, one of
whom is said to be d. r. Francis, late
Secretary of the Interior, to control
this valuable product is causing delay
in the opening of the Reservation.

inaugurated in Washington. He was
the first president nominated by a con-

"Sage of Monticello; his political op-

was an ATHEIST until the last year or
two of his life, when he expressed be-
lief in Divine Being. He, Adams and
Monroe, died on the fourth of July; he

DIVINE RETRIBUTION.

"May God Strike Me Dead If am the
Murderer of Bernardino Asseuro."
On Wednesday last at Hollister, Cal
ifornia, in the court room at that place
the words uttered by Joseph Ciscado,
"May God strike me down dead if l am
the murderer of Bernardino Asseuror'
caused panic and sensation among
those who heard them uttered, for
scarcely had the last words left Cis-
cado's lips when, with shrek, he top
pied forward and fell to the floor 1t is
said the terrorized officers and the
host of spectators stood aghast for
some moments at what appeared to be
a startling manifestation of Divine re-
tribution. Then several rushed over
to the PROSTATE man and sought to as
sist him from the floor. There was no
response to their efforts. Joseph Cis-
cado was dead.

A scab is to the trade what traitor
is to his country, and though both may
be useful in troublesome times, they
are detested whom peace returns, alike
by all. So when help is needed scab
is the last to contribute assistance and
the first to grasp benefit he never Ia
bored to procure; he cares only for
himself, he sees not beyond the extent
of day, and for monetary and worth
less appreciation he would betray
friends, family and country; in short
he is traitor on a small scale, who
first sells the journeyman and is him
self afterwards sold in his turn by his
employer, until at last he is despised
by both and deserted by all. He is an
enemy to himself, to the present age
and to posterity.

Last Friday was the thirty eighth
birthday of the Rocky Mountain News.
What a wonderful paper that same
News has grown to be- 1t has simply
kept step with the march of progress
made by the Queen City of the Rocky
Mountains and helped supply the mu-
sic to set the pace. Twenty years ago
this spring, when Denver was town of
only twenty thousand people and the
Rocky Mountain News was big blan-
ket sheet weekly, the editor of this pa
per spent many pleasant hours with
big, genial, John Atkins, then sole pro-
prietor and editor, in his big, barn-like
print shop and sanctum, on the second
floor of a business building. Mr.. Ar
kins, then full of "reminiscences of the
early days of the pixies Peak excite
ment," as it was caller furthed east,
was almost as enthusiastic talker of
the future of Colorado rs Governor
Gilpin, but in his highest flights of
fancy, he never pictured Denver or the
then year-old state as great as they are
to-day, or even dreamed of his own
Newspaper growing to be the great in
sttution he lived to see it become, be-
fore his lamented death, two years
since. Great is Denver Great is
Colorado The Rocky Mountain News
has grown great with them.
