1t would have gratified you to have wit
messed it and have been memory to our
children" Vol. 2, page 30, "Memoir Of
Jefferson Davis by His Wife,"
In the Century Magazine of February,
1885, is am article on the battle of Shiloh
by Col. VIM. Preston Johnston, son of
Gen. Abort Sidney Johnston, defend
ing his father from the criticisms of
various journals of that period, because
of the loss of Fort Henry and Donelson,
which were in his department. Col.
Johnston attributes these losses largely
to the necessity of stationing thousands
of soldiers in East Tennessee to overawe
UniOnists of that section and to guard
the only line of railroad communication
between Virginia and Tennessee, which
would have otherwise been employed in
the defense of these forts. He adds :
This hostile section penetrated the Con-
federacy like wedge and tlanked and
weakened Gen. JohnstOns line of de-
fense, requiring as it did, constant yigi-
lance and repression"
The Indebtedness of the national cause
to the Union men of East Tennessee and
the border States of the South was per-
ceived clearly enough while the strug-
gle was in progress, but it has been
much obscured to the popular mind of
late years by the partisan custom of
calling all the States ia which slavery
formery existed "rebel States"
The southern States contributed, as
shown by the official records, 33S,327 sol
diers to the Union army, or about one
eighth of all the men enlisted in said
army; and it is hardly too much to say
that the national cause could not have
triumphed without this help. The strug-
gle was terribly long and hard as it
turned out; with nearly 100000 men
taken from the fighting force for the
Union and given to the Confederacy, the
success of the Federal Government
could hardly have been hoped for.
With such record, | do not feel that
1t is asking too much that one pension
agency be given to the South and to
suggest that Knoxville, Tenn, is the
most appropriate place for that agency.
With apologies for so lengthy COM
respectfully protest that
the order Of the late President for the
of pension agencies shall
not be enforced as to the agency at
Tenn.
In the name of the people of the most
loyal section of the United States pro-
test against this discrimination against
their section and the South. Very re-
spectfully, (Signed)

Foolish Criticism of the Rich.

Nothing is so easy as to divert the
attention of a community like New
York from real issue to fictitious
one. Thus, at moment when some
hard headed concentration on the gas
question might have resulted in saving
the people of New York from five to ten
millions of dollars year on their light
bills, most excellent clergyman com
mitted the inadvertance of expressing
to his congregation his personal disap.
proval OF ostentatious display and
lavish expenditure as about to be ex.
hibited in certain fancy dress ball.
Whereupon the newspapers of the
town became wildly .hystesical and
began to print unnumbered columns
OF rubbish about this private entertain
ment. The irrepressible of the pulpit
seized the opportunity to launch vol.
umes of sermons upon the ethical and
economic aspects of luxurious expendi.
ture; and the irrepressibles who had no
other outlet wrote letters to the news.
papers or offered themselves up to the
interviewers. The entire discussion
was without significance or practical
bearing. Civilization is q very complex
affair. So long as the laws of the land
are not violated, the rich man s private
expenditures are as strictly a matter to
he controlled by his own taste and
Judgment as the expenditures of the
poor man. Capital in this country, in
our generation, has been eminently
and conspicuously devoted to economic
production; and has not to any appre.
ciable extent been diverted and wasted
in wanton luxury. 1t is none of the
publlc's business how the millionaire
monopolist spends his money; but it is
in the highest degree the public s bust
ness how he has gained it-especially
how it came to pass that he obtained
the franchise or public privilege or
other favorable opportunity by means
of which he has enriched himself. A
community that permits monopoly
to charge it dollar and a quarter for
gas, when if it had virtue and charac.

LITERARY NOTES.

Charles Dana Gibson, in illustrating
a short story that nsrrates the romance
OF Princess, for the March Ladies
Home Journal, has created what he
regards as his typical English girl. She
is said to be as distinctive and striking
as his famous American girl, and while
essentially different she is quite as in
tereeting. The drawings will illustrate
Robert G. V. Meyers story, "The
Morning After the Seryia Got In."
Olga Nethersole, the actress, has
turned her attention to writing, and
will give advice of practical nature
to THE uirl Who Aspires to Elocu.
ton" Her contribution will appear
in an early issue Of The Ladies Home
Journal.
A novel method of presenting the
newest and freshest Eastertide crea-
tions of Paris milliners has been adopt
ed by The Ladies Home Journal for
March. In that magazine the new
French hats and bonnets will be pic
tured as they are worn. This unique
display is useful, therefore, in pointing
out clearly not only Fashions decree,
but the styles in headdress best suited
to several contrasted types and faces.
The contrast in the condition of the
country between the time of Lncoln's
first inauguration and that of President
elect Mckinley is sid to be vividly por-
trayed sn an article by Stephen Fske
for the Mark Ladies' Home Journal.
In telling of when Lincoln was First
lnaugurated" Mr.. Fiske graphically
describes Mr.. Lincoln's journal from
Springfield, Illinois, to Washington,
and the incidents Of the Inauguration
and the attendant festivities. There
were grave fears that Dincoln would
be assassinated as he rode in the in.
augural procession to the Capitol, and
every possible precaution was taken for
his safety. Mr.. Fiske will recall the
safe guards placed around the Presi-
dent. Special officers and detectives
in citizens clothes were stationed in
numbers among the crowds that lined
the sidewalks, and sharp shooters oc-
cupied positions of vantage on house.
tops, etc., along the route of parade.
The military escort of the President
elect was heavily armed, ready to
promptly meet any hostile demonstra.
tions, and the crowds were kept dis
tance from the Presidents carriage
80 far that they could not distinguish
Mr.. Lincoln from Mr.. Buchanan, who
rode beside him. The police were in
structed to arrest all persons making
opprobrious threats against Mr.. Lin
coin, or uttering disloyal sentiments.
The tension was great and the whole
country was in a state of suppressed
excitement.

We do not know about that bill put
ting the election machinery in the
hands of the Governor. The Republi.
cans have frequently accused the
Democrats of taking up some line of
their meanness after they had gotten
oil the possible benefits out of it. Vest.
ing the Governor with the exclusive
and arbitrary right to appoint election
commissioners for the several counties
is an instance. 1t is fully on par with
Republican forcebillism, and combats
the Democratic doctrine of local self
government. But this is time of po.
litical somersaults and readjustments.

A Dirty Law.

The Legislature has enacted a mum.
ber of good laws, for which the Citizen
gives it full praise and credit, but &C.
cording to our way of thinking it has
made one very grave mistake. We
refer to the election law giving the
Governor power to appoint three COM
missioners for each and every county
IN the State. This is placing too much
power in the hands of one man, and
without any necessity for it. 1t is a
dangerous precedent and and closely
resembles forcebillism, We may be
mistaken, but it looks to us very much
like dirty little piece of partisan
legislation puposely designed to cor.
rupt rather than purify elections. -

Danger Of Long RANGE Bullets.

An Indian correspondent tells of an
incident which came under his official
notice as magi strate of Hosan, Madras.
A European was hunting black buck
on hillside, when he obtained shot
with his Martini Henri carbine. The
result of the shot taught him lesson
about the dangers of long range bullets.
In valley 1,150 yards away, beyond
two rather high hills and little pond,
native was standing with his head
bowed and hands elapsed behind his
back. The bullet broke the wrist of
this mans hand. In the investigation
that followed the course of the bullet
was traced accurately.
In firing at the antelope the bullet
had hit a stone on the hillside and
gone bounding end over end over the
first hill.
AT the next hill another place where
the bullet struck was found, Here the
bullet leaped into the air almost per-
pendicularly, and when it came down
in the ricefield it hit the mans wrist.

THE PARTING,

That kiss, my love! thy lips has left,
Shall never part from mine,
TIL happier hours restore the gift
Untainted back to thine.
Thy parting glace, which fondly beamed
An equal love may see;
The tear that from thy eyelid streamed
Can make no change in me.
ask no pledge TO make me blest,
In gazing when alone;
Nor one memorial fora breast
Whose thoughts are all thine own.
Nor need i write to tell the tale
My pen is doubly weak;
Oh! what can idle words avail,
Unless the heart could speak.
By day or night, in veal or woe,
That heart no longer free,
Must bear the love 1t can not show,
And silently ache for thee.

The Reason,

The Democrats in the Legislature
voted down a resolution to investigate
the amount of poll taxes collected for
1895 in the respective counties. The
reason they did not want an investiga-
ton is that the Democratic counties in
West Tennessee did not collect poll
taxes at the last election, but issued
thousands of fraudulent receipts and
gave them out to their party.-Cleve.

The Tax on Doct Ors.

There was but one opinion
at the State Medical Conven-
tion OF the tax the fusion
Legisla ture imposed on doc
tors. The city doctors, while
not believeing in the tax de-
clared that they saved mon
ey by it. In one city, prior
to the imposition OF this tax
by the State. the municipal
tax was twenty-five dollars.
The law provides that the
State privilege tax shall be
in lieu of all other privilege
tax. The law enables the
city doctor to save money,
but 1t bears heavily on the
country doctor.
As showing the burden this
privilege tax imposes, in a
paper read before the State
Medical Convention at More
head. DR.. &. II. Skies, of Girls
som, n. G., said: "As for the
laws that demand correction
the unjust special tax on pro
fessional men should certain
ly be repealed. The State
Treasurer's report shows
that for the year 1896 there
was collected from the doc
tors, dentists and lawyers of
North Carolina $1S, 100,
which, allowing 70 cents for
a hundred dollars worth of
property, would be equal to
the tav on $2,6S4 2S5, max
ing an unjust burden upon
the class of men who, above
all others, do more for the
cause Of humanity in propoT-
ton to their ability, than
any others.
"Now, roughly estimated,
there is about l 900 licensed
physicians in North Caroline
who probably paid their
special tax, amounting &c
$l5, 900; and allowing ar
average practice OF two thot
; sand dollars per capita, il
! would equal the sum of three
million dollars a year. o
! this, allowing fifty per cent
for loss and charity practice
