NapOIeon's Suppressed Letters.

Louis Napoleon caused many of his uncle s letters to be suppressed in 1869, whep1thirty volumes of the greaf em- peror's correspondence were published.
 The missing letters were dismissed with the statement that yhey were of no l1n- portance. Since that time NJ. Lecesre, curator of the French archives. has been investigating the suppressed documents, and he is now giving them to the world. In his first volume he prints salty let ter from Napoleon 70 his brother Jerome, then king of Westpha1sa. Jerome had been boosting of his ability to outwlt the Ausarians, and his imperial brother pitched into him nthe following fashion:
 l have seen your order of the day which makes you the laughing stock of Austria, Germany and France. Have you no frierd about you to tell you few plain truths? You are king and brother 10 the emperor. These are ridiculous titles in time of war. You must be a sol dier altogether, a soldier and nothing but a soldier. One must eneanlp with the vanguard, bs day and night on horse back, march along in the van to pick up news, or else remain in ones harem. You make war like a satrap. Is it from me good God-that you have learnt that? From me, who with an army of GOO men, keep at the h.ad of my skirmishers? People are provoked with you. Kien- mayer, with 12.000 men, has laughed at you and your ridiculous pretensionE, has slipped away from you and has fallen upon Jundt. You have lot of preten- sions, some little mind, a few good qual- ities, burt these are marred by fatuity, and extreme presumption and mo knewI- edge of the fitness of things. <
 Wags war like a young soldier wishing to earn glory and reputation and try to deserve the rank you have reached, and the esteem of France and Europe, who are watching you. And, by God, do write and speak in a seemly manner, if you can.
 It seems from these extracts that the French emperor was not blind to the faults of his nearest relatives, and that he knew when to call them down. But tns last sentence in the letter to Jerome is a. corkeri

THEY WOULD HAVE DIXIE.

Two hundred North Carolina noun taineers are in the city on an excursion
 On Wednesday evening, learning that the Marine band would give it's usual public concert on the plaza of the Capi- tol, they gathered in a body to hear the music. They listened with every evi- 'denca of delight to the splendid playing of Fanciullis band, but somehow or other the Minnehaha gayotte and the Lohengrin wedding march did not quite fill the full measure of their happiness They wanted somsthing that they knew
 Play Dixie,'' shouted a long-whis- kered mountaineer to the dapper leader of the band.
 Fanciulli turned around. "Eet ees not on z@ programme" he said with his fine Italian accent and with a deprecat- ing smile. So the next number on the programme was rendered.
 "Play Dixier'
 This time the appeal cama not from one. but two score of the North Carolina visitors. Fanciulli shook his head Again the band footed according to the programme.
 "Play Dixier'
 All the two hundred throats and well developed lungs shouted the insistent demand. There was no .mistaking the determination of the crowd. They would have Dixie or they would know the req son why.
 FanciuIli surrendered. | Dixie was played. and against the white dome of the Capitol there echoed yell which must have been heard many miles south of the Potomac.-Washingto ton Post.

A Statesman's Mistake.

The late Senator Isham G. Harris was
 one of Tennessee's brainiest and most patriotic statesmen, and he was perhaps the greatest war governor of his period, on the confederate side.
 But lie was fiery and impulsive, and it is not strange that, under the stress and excitement of our civil conflict, his Judgment was occasionally at fault, es-
 pecially after the surrender, when he
 was a persecuted fugitive, hunted by the minions of Brownlow, wha hated him and
 longed for his death.
 To escape his relentless enemies, Harris
 fled to Mexico. where he sojourned for 8
 time until MaXimilian's empire fell. He was aided in his flight by Col George W.
 Adair, prominent citizen of Atlanta, who was at that time an officer on Gen. Forests staff and after Harris had es- l tablished himself in Mexico he wrote a
 long letter to his Atlanta friend, from
 which we quote the following extracts: "In a calm review of the past, I am glad to be able to say that I have noth-
 ing to regret but the failure of the revo-
 lution. My course was dictated by
 strong and clear convictions of duty
 Had I faltered in following those convic-
 tiops it would have been at the sacrifice
 of principle and self-respect. It is bet
 ter far better, for me that should have
 lost position, fortune and home and stand
 here today a penniless exile than to have
 violated principle and forfeited self-re- spect for these miserable and paltry con- alterations. l thank God that did not falter. l have been shocked and morti- fled to see the readiness with which Gems.
 Lee.. Johnston, Beauregard, Bragg and many other gentlemen who rank high on the civil list have bowed the knee and Kissed the hand that crushed them How Infinitely would prefer my grave to such humiliati tion, and how contemptible must such conduct appear to the civilized world How much better it would have been for their future peace and their regulations if they had come to Mexico | or gone somewhere else, anywhere but | there. It may be said that this is an abstract government; true. but it is an absolutism that has never injured or sought to degrade me. Such an abso- htisln I can bear without inconven- fence or a sense of shame. While the ahsolutisnl of usurpstlon and petty ty-
 ranny which rules that country I could
 not endure without aI ever-present sense

He Should Be the Leader.

l Bishop H. M Turner, of The African | Methodist church, continues to urge the people of his race ito abandon this cvun-
 try and emigrate to Africa. | Tn A recent letter to he Boston Globe
 the bishop declares that black face is a.
 badge of fnfamy in America, and he
 claims that the negroes will always be op- 1 pressed here and kept in a condition of
 practical serfdom. To escape from these | evils he advises the blacks to go to IL
 beria, where he believes thao they can
 be prosperous, happy and independent. Turner is a pesslmist. He shuts his eyes to- the progress of the colored peo- 1 pie lin the United States since the war
 He. ignores the fact that in less than a generation millions of ehe newly eman- efpaIted slaves have obtained q fair edu- cation Thousands of them are well-to- do properlty el7gEers, ard all of them are at work, or can find work when they want 1t.
 1t is fact that i[he masses of the blacks are better off than she masses of the poor whites. They find it easier To se- cure employment. Their wants are fewer, their expenses are lighter, and their white | neighbors foot the Hons share of the bifl for their education and for the SUD- port eff the public institutions, whose ben- efts they enjoy equally with other cJtl- zens.
 
 In Liberia they would have to depend l upon themselves, and the chances are | that shey would relapse into the barbar- ism of Hayti. It is mistake to say that
 tho, negroes are oppressed in this coun- try They are''the equals of the whites before tlre law, and they should ask no more. Social equality is only dream. It does not exist, even among the whites. Sef-respect should cause each race to prefer the society of it's own members. But if Bishop Turner cannot change his views, he should head the exodus to Africa. He is a man of brains and ex- ecutive ability, and in Liberia he would doubtless rise to the highest office under whatever government mighS prevail. He would probably start as president and end as dictator.
 By all means let Turner get his follow CTS together and make a break for the Dark Continent. That is the way to start the ball.

The Ideal Democrat.

citizen can be loyal to his political party without being its blind and dumb slave.
 He should be true to it's basic princi- ples. but he should freely express his opinions regarding the methods to be adopted the expedients to be tried and the details of the policy to be pursued
 At the same time he should discuss these matters within the party, and sub- init to its decisions, and faithfully en- deavor to carry out its plans and pur- poses. He should never rely upon his, a. legged superior wisdom. ard defy the will of the majority by refusing to yield, or by bolting from it's ranks under the pre- tense of reforming it from the outside.
 Such an intelligent, independent and yet loyal partisan is the ideal democrat-mays his tribe increase.
 The voter who is a good democrat only so long as the party adopts all of his wliims and freaks is a very dangerous end unreliable worker. He is rot fit to lead, and he needs watching as a fol- lower.
 The ideal democrat must be of the peo- pie and for the people, and he must learn to bow gracefully and in good faith to the decision of his leaders and comrades, when it is deliberately, fairly and au- thoratively formulated.
 We have known many bright men who were led astray by the mistaken idea that it was their special mission to reform, advise and boss their party. They be- came chronic growlers and klckers, lost their influence, became objects of ridicue and in almost every instance they tried to-start a new party, or went over to the ranks of the opposition,
 Thsre is no hope for democracy if the spirit of insubordination spreads. Inde- pendentism is a good thing. when it Is honest, loyal and judicious. It is destruc-

Of deepest degradation. No, there are no terms or conditions upon which I could ever consent to live in that country except the independence of the south. Will many of the people of the southern states feel inclined to seek new homes or will they follow the example of Lee, Johnston and others? Mexico presents the finest field that have ever seen for the enterprise of our people, and now that slavery Is abolished, in the south, hired labor can be much more easily pro- cured here and made much more profit able than in any part of the United States. I do not propose, however, to urge or even advise any one to come. I only propose to give them facts and leave them to decide for themselves, as have done for myself.
 Such as feel inclined to come will be received with open arms and most cor dial welcome. But enough of this
 This was written six months after the surrender. A few years later Harris was at his old home in Tennessee, the idol of his people, their honored leader, and an influential member of the United States senate.
 Surely this was better than an exile's life in Mexico. Doubtless Senator Har- ris charged his views regarding the course of Lee and other confederate chieftains Subsequent events proved the wisdom of this conduct, and 1t is generally agreed that 1t was nobler for them to remain with their people and share their burdens than it would have been to seek homes in foreign lands.
 We cannot, however, blame Harris for going to Mexico. His case was excep- tional, and his duty to himself and to his people made it necessary for him to bide his time until he could safely return to Tennessee and vindicate himself
 Lee Johnston and other prominent confederate were very differently situ- ated, and they showed genuine patriotism in remaining at home and devoting them selves to the common interests of re- united country, work in which they were afterwards heartily aided by the lion-hearted war governor, when his brief exile was ended.

Birmingham and Armor Plate.

The issue between the United States government andl the three concerns which enjoy the IL nopoly. at this writ ing, in the manufacture of armor plate in America, opens up live question for the serious consideration of this dis trict.
 The following from the Manufactures, of Philadelphia, presents the status of the question:
 'The Carnegie and Bethlehem companies nave declined to submit bids to the navy department for supplying armor plate for the three new battleshps, the Illinois, the Wisconsin and the Alabama Con- gress fixed the outside limit of the price which the government would pay at $500 The companies declare that they cannot produce armor of the quality which the government requires at so low price, The Union Iron works, of San Francisco also decline to make bids under the condi- tions specified.
 Tn the event of failure to secure bids within the $S00 limit congress instructed the secretary of the navy to consider the feasibility of establishing an armor plate factory to be operated by and for the gov- ernment of the United States. It is stated that board will be appointed. composed of five capable officers of the navy, who will give this matter immediate attention. It was estimated by MT. Herbert, when he was secretary of the navy that a plant could be established by the government at cost of s1,5o00O0 There is a belief that the Bethlehem company or the Carnegie company would be willing to sell or lease to the government. though upon what terms is not yet known"
 It will be seen that the armor plate trust f1atly refuses to bid on the plate necessary to complete the battleships now under construction. It is given out that board composed of five capable officers of the navy will be appointed by the secrstary of the navy, as he was instructed by congress.
 Congressman Oscar Underwood, of this district, introduced a bill at the special session of congress providing for the location of a government arnor plant at Birmingham.
 When Mir. Underwood introduced his bill Birmingham was preparing to make steel. Now Birmingham is making it, and of a quality superior to the Besse- mer steel of Pittsburg and Bethlehem.
 It is understood that the proposition for the government to make plate covers the whole process. from billets to liar veyized plates.
 Lst MT. Underwood, the Commercial club, and the gentlemen who have solved the steel problem get together and take practical steps to have the naval experts come to Birmingham.
 No other one thing could so well ad- vertise Birmingham as it's selection as the site of the government armor plate mill.
 It would mean millions of irvs stmnts in all kinds of stesl manufactories to follow.
 Action is what we need right now.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

P The trial of the negro rapists at De- catur, Ala, sets an example that should be generally followed over the south. If these criminals are proven guilty there is no reason to doubt that they will be convicted and executed according to law The example of such an execution will be great deal stronger in it's effect to- wards suppressing crime than a lynching could possibly be, and the general moral effect of upholding the law will be most wholesome in its effect on the community.
 The example set at Decatur needs to be followed generally throughout the south There would be fewer rapes, fewer crime of every class if this rule should be fol- lowed. There is no place on the face of the earth where the wicked have ceased from troubling, and that need not be ex- pected, but the minimum of crime, of violence, at least, is found in those we'll ordered communities where the law is supreme.-Na American
