a CURRENT HISTORY or rIaE WAR.

General Stephen D. Lee is Of the opIn-
ion that tho time has come when a
patriot, school history Of the war be-
tween the States may be written-a his
tory that will be endorsed by all who
took part in that conflict. General Lee
so reported to the United Confederate
Veterans at their reunion recently held
at Nashville, and the paper submitted
by him OH the subject on that occasion
has called forth great deal Of favora-
blc comment from all sections Of the
country The war has been over thirty
years. and there ought to DE enough pa
triotism In the country oput forth such
q work The delay Of putting out a
correct history Of the war between the
States, and which led up thereto, has
not been for q lack of ability, nor is such
the case now, then why the work should
be any longer delayed is question.
II the delay has been occasioncd by
reason OF want Of patriotism, or sim
pie fairness those difficulties Should be
removed, and General Lee is OF the opin-
Ion That the time has now come when
they no longer exist to an extent to hin
der the work. The Importance Of hav-
Ing correct history OF the war for use
in the schools of the country cannot be
denied, and the sooner we get 1t the bet
ter. Upon 4 former occasion The Vir
ginian suggested that competent and
patriotic men from both sides OF the
conflict be selected, to whom the work
Of such history is needed should be
arranged, and the matter would be easy
OF accomplishment. It rcnews that sug-
gcStion now.

WHY THE SOUTH ADVANCES

Perhaps In no section Of the country
rs development SO steady, and withal SO
satisfactory as in the South. The towns
and villages which arc steadily STARTING
up IN heretofore almost unheard Of To-
callt1es, are not the result of booms
put Of natural advancement ana deycl-
opment and arc Of the healthiest charac-
Ter. The towns or villages which start
up as the result Of Blooms, as a rule
mas no foundation upon which to en-.
large, and in nine cases out Of ten will
stop growing when the boom subsidies
In fact it has long since been demon.
strated that booms are not indications OF
healthy progress, and the South has
rather discouraged them than other
wise. It is far betterto have q healthy
steady, active growth. then what we
DO is done upon a solid basis
! The Baltimore American. writing on
this line. gives as its opinion that ono
OF the best proofs Of the very decided
advances the South is now making is
| found In the fact tina Through a numbe.
| OF the States In this section Of the coun-
| try new towns and villages arc starting
up, with the promise Of constant growth
and successful development None OF
these places, it says, are on the boom
order, with fancy prices for every foot
OF land, and figures for corner lots even
beyond those asked for the best sites in
prosperous cities. On the contrary
they are starting in a small and modest
way, which Is all the better guara nteed
that they will not die ADJOINING The
great majority OF them owe their birth
| to the opening OF new railroads through
territory that had heretofore been un
touched by these great factors in q
countly's development.
| This Is very true, and the South wish,
es it understood that 1t has no banker
ing" after booms.

MIX. SHERMAN NOT & DTPAoMAT.

Those who have been disposed to cues
ton the ability OF Secretary Of State
Sherman rs 4 diplomat, will find addi-
iional cause for so doing when they
read his letter of instructions to AM
bassador Hay, relative to the Behring
Sea controversy, extracts from which
were published BY the press Of the coun-
try on Saturday last. There is a great
deal in the manner in which one states
his claims, however correct his conten-
tons may he, and it Is not infreuuent
that q man defeats his own ends by the
language he employs. This Is true
whether the claimant is acting as an
individual or in the capacity Of an OIL
cial. and this is the position of Mr.. Sher.
man to-day.
That IInsland's position in the Eehring
Sea matter Is wrong, and has been
wrong all through, no one will question,
and it has been this fact which has
made the need Of careful Diplomatic
handling AL the greater. Mr.. Sherman
seems not to have known this or +!
known to him, he dis1egarded it and
used language in his letter of ;nstruc-
tons to Ambassador Hay that has
created an i'll feeling in England not at
all surprising. The tone Of the English
prass IS almost warlil:e and one journal
coca so far as to urge war as speedy
proposition for it. The London Post says
that 'every indication points to the
certainty That Great Britain will be
som pellad Ito fight for her existence

En- Am erican Government believes that

POLITICAL REvOLTs.

Political revolts are good things where

or three years. and that In the major
lty of cases they have absolutely worst

an example Of this. Something less
than two years nso the people Of that

and now. by their own admission, they
have the worst government in the his
tory Of that city. With the exception
OF the department Of streets, New York

come from other cities where the exper-

The council is "playing with fire."
IN trying to change the dates when the
improvement bonds shall be paid. AS
the ordinance and law is now the
bonds are 4 l and worth their full face
value and little more, but if the
council changes them and make them
payable at the option of the property
owner,- it will make a bond which can
not be placed anywhere near par, and
che contractor who has to accept them
rs payment for work done will have to
charge Just so much extra for what he
does. to make up the difference in the
market value of the bonds. AS the
matter now stands, the property own
ers along any street improved have
from thirty to sixty DAYS to pay cash if
they want to, and ale notified to that
effect If nothing is heard from them
Improvement bonds are issued payable
with interest at per cent. in five an
nual payments, which make a good
bond and easy on the property owner
1t would seem to as that this cannot be
improved on without hurting the value
of the bond and that would be unWise

A PIONEER SHOEMAKER;
WORKING At HIS TRADE ALTHOUGH EIGHTYFIvE YEARS Old
Mr. James Mcien of Champaign Has Followed the ShOemakes
Trade All His Life Every Day at His Bench Working with Appa!
entythe Same VgOr as Young Mana Sketch of HisLe
From the Gazette Cnampaiqn, III.

At the advanced age of eighty-fve years,
James McMillen, of IL West Washington
street, is one of the most active men in Cham
paign, Illinois. Mr.. McMillen is pioneer
citizen of the city, and his form is as familiar
on the streets as that of any citizen Of the
town. All his life Mr.. McM1llec has fol-
lowed the trade of shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vigor he COM
manded when he was young man.
He has little shop on North Wright street,
in the vicinity of the University of Illinois,
and he is the official shoemaker, as it were,
for the students of that institution.
About year ago Mr.. McMillen was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
familiar form was missed along the streets.
The local newspapers announced that he
sufferer, but finally he appeared again at
since then and none, perhaps, on account of
sickness. His friends were surprised to see
him out again, and they were more surprised
when he told them the cause of his recovery.
There was no small amount of local inter-
est in his case, and a reporter visited him,
to have him relate the story.
" | feel, said the spry old gentleman,
that / owe my life to Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Something like a
year ago it appeared to me that was almost
a physical wreck. [ was suffering from a
disease of the kidneys. A thick scurf had
formed on the bottoms of my feet and my
ankles were terribly swollen and inaamed.
In fact, they reached such condition that
could not walk, and it looked as though my
days were numbered.
