MODERN MEDIAEYALISM.

There Is nothing the world so dear
ly loves as bit of sentiment For
this all thanks It keeps the heart oil
humanity young. 1t waters the desert
of every day dreariness with tears
and brightens it with the sunlight OF
smiles. 1t is happy, hopeful sign
that the whole Yankee nation can
turn, even momsntarlly, from wor-
ship of the golden calf to sentimental
lie over deed of knighterrantry
and the picturesque rescue of dis
tressed damsel from a dungeon cell
It transports US at jump into the
reign of Arthur, and The "goid AND
silver's dreary clashing with mans
metallic heart" gives place for the
nonce to the ring of steel on steel, and
the bugle song of chivalry.
What matters it that the paladin
whose deed of derrIng do has thrilled
the worlds withered heart lie only
fat faced, commonplace newspaper
reporter of Dutch extraction named
Carl Decker? What if the Ladye
Fayre is only simple Cuban country
girl, who by some untoward hocus
pocus got mixed up il politics, and |
was put in jail aud kept there until |
ler captors didn't know what to do |
With her and we're glad to wink the
'ther eye when her dungeon bars
we're sawn ssunder? Was the knight
If La Mancha any the less happy be-
.ause his helmet was a BARRIERS basin
md Dulcinea took in washing for
wing?
"The plays the thing" The world
wants romance. Shut your ears to the
udible "asides" Transmute the tinsel
nto gold by the alchemy of fancy,
nd listen, thrilled with feeling, 10 the
ehoos from a far off aud forever
anished time.

A PATRIOT FROM THE SOUTH.

One OF the distinguished visitors OF
this week was Hon. Thomas G. Catch
ing, member of congress from the
Vicksburg, Miss, district. He is ana
tive of the state he so ably represents.
He is typical soulherner by educa-
ton aud by association. lie left col.
! lege at about fifteen years of age, enter
ed the confederate Amy iu 1861 aud
served through the war He Is now
serving his sixth term III congress,
which, better than anything The
Democrat can say, shows how he is
appreciated by the people who know
him best. Congressman Catchings is
the chairman of the river and harbor
committee and one of the best posted
men in all the country on this genor
al subject. 1t was bis interest in
waterways that brought him to
Davenport, aud the convention honor
ed itself when Il placed him in the
presiding officers chair.
This is merely Introductory. The
veterans of the I'd Iowa cavalry. more
than two hundred stroug, were hold. |
ing a reunion; aud the men who wore |
the blue had the courtesy and chivalry |
TO invite the man from Mississippi |
who wore the gray to meet them at |
their campfire Congressman Catch
ings was as gallant as the veterans.
He met them and accepted their cor
dial greetings They asked him to
speak and he did so most happily
Among other things the former con-
federate said: "DOwn south we have
no prejudices, no hard feelings We
believe it is oil for the the best, aud
we thank God that the war ended as
it did"
Among all the speeches made by |
the veterads at their reunion was there
one that breathed more patriot
ism than this? 1t is impossible. The
is safe when the brave men
from the north and south get togeth-
er and swear to support the flag that
has star for every state, with moth
ng about 1t to recall past difference of
opinion.-Davenport Qowa) Demo-

GREENVILLETIMES
rnE BOARDS EIPENsE ACCOUNT.

In the report Of the Secretary and
Treasurer Of the Levee Board, pub-
lIshed In the GreSAvile Democrat OF
October z, 1897, appear the following
items:
Paid W Yefger for triple New York -, d..
lu Interest Of Board .,...... ......... "a 10
MAJOR VIM. stsllng's expenses 10 New ,, no
j. NJ. Jayns's expenses to New YORK, sl7,65"
The next item on the Treasurer's
report, and Of the same dao as the
SSl765 charge is; southern r Il
Company for tlckets, SSl75'
The explanation Of this startling
discrepancy will interest the people in
whose behalf the money was eI-
pended
Gagged by The comparative value OF
the services rendered by the three
gentlemen before the Commission,
the difference is extreme, and the
Board owes ii TO Itself as well as to
the public, to be more explicit IN
rendering an account to the people OF
the district of the disposition made OF
the funds provided by them.
To express fl somewhat blunlly, II
the amount reported was for the pur-
pose of paying the personal expenses
of Mr.. Jayne, 1T is excessive. Ii ioI
other purposes, il does not appear in
the form of an itemizsd account as
required by law, aud fails to give the
tax payers the Information they de.
sire aud to which they are justly ep-
titled.
It's unfortunate that criticism Of
the Boards actions should have be-
come so general; and all who sincere,
Nv desire the welfare of the district |
must deplore the increasing tendency |
to grudge the institution the sympa |
thy and support which has for SO
long maintained II. Where the blame
for this changed and shll changing
sentiment rests is not easy to decide,
if, indeed, It be on account OF any
one specific complaint Ii would ap-
pear TO be rather the slow growth
spriugiug from multitude Of sources,
and gradually increasing in volume
until it can no longer be ignored.
Mutual confidence between board
and district is the conner stone on
which the institution was built That
confidence once undermined and de.
stroyed its power for good Is gone.
The effectiveness and utility of the
board will be at al end when ii comes
to be regarded less as an organization
of the people of the district for lueir
own protection than as corporation
composed Of IFS members and their
friends.

INTO nIM THAT HATH.


Unto him that hath shall he given;

| A hard law, my masters, but a true
saying.
Mr. and Mrs, LsnRtry have reversed
all the rules of playwrights and novel
lists, Illustrated the scripturAl injus-
tice, and proved that virtue is lite only
reward According to all accepted
theories. the Lily, when oucc she bad
boomed brief season in the sunlight
Of royal smiles, should have fallen aud
faded, trampled deeper into the mud
by every passing footstep, until she
cxpiated her sins by her suiferiugs
aud her shame; dying at last with
repentant tears washing her wasted
cheeks, or, "spurrcd by contumely
into her rest" she should have hidden
her misery aud disgrace from human
eyes in the Shiny waters of the Thames,
Did the Lily do any of these things?
Nit When the Great begun TO throw
cherry stones at her, the poor woman,
realizing that she had before her a
hard battle with a hostile world,
gathered together such weapons as
nature aud that same world had en-
dowed her withal, and plunged into
the fray. She flouted Society. She
laughed the prophecies to sCorr. She
rolicked through life like a modern
Cleopatra The battle is won. The
world is 81 her footstool. Nearly fifty
years old, she is stil one of the queens
of beauty. The yino-drsped valleys
of California aud the brick aud NOR

don yield her tribute. A prince of
ancient lineage stands ready aud |
eager 10 place coronet upon her
brow when she shall say the word,
aud all the gay world which once
thrust her out has just welcomed her
back once more, while the Prince Of
Wales himself opoued the door for
her triumphant entrance. The old
order changeth, yielding plsco to new"
aud modcsty aud old fashioned ideas
hide their faces while the Jersey Lily,
as queen of the race course, and win
ler of 100000, is borne aloft in the
lpolheosis of victorious vice
And Mr.. Langtry? Does he per-
sonify Virtue in this motley drama OF

recorded anything to the contrary, so,
although his merits may be entirely
negative, we may at least use him to
point the moral
Alter years Of long suffering silence,

THE EPIDEMIC.

The interest in the fever IS still kept
up, and as long as the present summer
like weather continues il is not likely
that either the disease or the interest
in it will diminish. Several very SELL
sational reports have been sent out
during the past few days, among them
a telegram announcing ten new cases
at Nitta Yuma, which created no
little alarm, but was discovered 10 be
s mistake the report having been CON
fused with that from Clinton. There
are not ten white people at Ntia
Yuma to take it. Suspicious cases
have been reported from Memphis
and Vieksburg The Vicbsburg cases
proved to be simple m0larial fever,
but the presence of yellow fever in
Memphis has since been officially all
nounced, and all travel aud traffic be.
tween that city and Greeuville is
at an end. The type III New Or
leans continues to be unusually
mild tor yellow fever, butts gradually
increasing i'll severity, and losing
nothing of its contagious character
II has also spread extensively in the
Gulf coast region during the past two
weeks, sad isnow epidemic in several
small towns in Louisiana and South
ern Mississippi, and prevailing in 8
mild form along the ses board of
Texas and Alabama. Greenville's
quarantine precsution are still strictly
and the health Of the City
is excellent Several deaths have oc. |
during the last few weeks, but |
they were from usual causes.
