parted heroes. On the side of hill,
overlooking the James river, is the un-
pretentious grave of Jefferson Davis, al
most hidden under the shade of a mag

When the southerner is with his

between tradition and cold fact. be-
tween sentiment and reality.
There is vast difference between
the man of the north and the man of
the south. Sentiment in the north is
just as strong as in the south. And so
is love of country. But with this diff
ference-the northern man will fight
only for a well-defined purpose, the
southern man for an idea or an ideal.
The New Highlander, by instinct and

field with an impetuosity equal, if not
more forceful. than that which hurried
thousands of northern men TO the front

political supremacy. The confederate

spoke to in Richmond admitted this.
And all were equally frank in assert
ing that the idea of secession Is wrong,
and that they would be first to take up
arms in defense of the integrity of the
union, should circumsta noes require it.
But when the talk drifted into dis
cussion of the causes which led to the
civil war my new friends at once as

that the confederate cause had been

Virginia is sui generis. There is no
other state like it in the union. And
there is no city like Richmond. No
one who has failed TO visit the
former capital of the confederacy
can truthfully say that he has a
thorough knowledge of the south.
Richmond is as different from Atlanta
as New York is from Chicago. Atlanta
Is booming, bustling, boisterous. Rich
mond is sedate, dignified, patrician. AL
though northern business enterprise
has revolutionized thugs to some ex-
tent, it has had no effect on the social
life of Virginia's aristocracy.
Courtesy still rules the day. People
do not walk all over you." to use a
the business part of the city. They
do not set you down as an im5ecile if
you ask for information about this or
that monument or public building.
Several years ago, while walking
through Central park in New York,
saw a stranger halt in front of the
statue of the Puritan father. He asked
& native what the Statue was for"
For fools to look at" was the reply.
1t is barely possible that the New
Workers. answer was inspired by honest
disgust, for of all the bad work in Cen
trail park the Puritan father is by all
odds the worst; yet the remark showed
an utter absence of gentlemanly feel
ing.
Richmond has some good statuary.
1t also has some bad statuary. l sought
information from strangers concerning

be persona non grata even in second
class circles.
Everything in Richmond reminds you
of the days of nntebellum chivalry.
When lady leaves street car she is
assisted by the conductor. When an
old man wishes to enter a car he is
given helping hand. and the car does
not start until he has found a seat. Lit
tie things, but to me-used to Chicago
street car marncrs-they meant much.
They demonstrated that the spirit Of
the cavaliers lives not only in their de-
scendants, but has in measure been
transmitted to their dependents.
Every town has it's patron saint. The
impression prevails in the north that
Richmond worships the memory of JEFF
ferson Davis. To a certain extent it
does; but the hero par excellence of the
city is not the leader Of the late con-
federacy, but Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Every body pays eloquent tribute to the
confederate chieftain, wen the few sur
viving loyalists who opposed the seccs-
sion of Virginia at the beginning of
the civil war. The Lee monument and
statue, one of the finest specimens Of
modern art in America, is an object of
Neneration, almost a shrine. Jefferson
Davis is not yet remembered either in
bronze or marble. Perhaps. with Wash
ington, he is FIRST in the hearts of the
Nirginians; but If such is the case the
affection was not displayed before me.
However. before another decade passes
away, Richmond will have a Davis me-
mortal which. in gorgeousness of de-
sign, will rival the Grant memorial in
New York.
In the north n dead man is soon for

remembrance. Richmond has many

When His Trouble Began.

In the District Court at Topeka the
other day the divorce case of Henrietta
Rucker VS.. Peter Rucker came on for
hearing. Mrs. Rucker is a buxom col
ored dame, who showed herself will
ing witness in testifying in her own be-
half. Her attorney, Otis Hungate, drew
from her that Peter had become abu-
sive, shiftless and totally of no ac-
count, and then he said:
Mrs. Rucker, please tell the court
when your husband first began to ap-
pear as you have described him.
We'll, sah," responded Henrietta. Il
fust begun to notice it when Pete jined

ALL THESE FOR MAGUIRE.

Other single takers are more frank
and honest than Mr.. Mcguire. They
have several organizations in the State,
and every one of them is advocating
the election of Mr. Mcguire, simply
and solely because his triumph will,
they believe, advance the cause TO
which they are devoted-and it would
do so. They make no. bones about 1t,
that the election of Mcguire will be
a single tax victory. In some cases
they are sending out campaign Htera-
ture which is wholly devoted to the
discussion of the single tax question.
In Alameda County a single taxer, an
able and long time writer on that sub
ject is nominated for the Legislature.
Every one Of these people insist that
they have long been carrying on an
educational campaign in California,
and that the nomination Of Mr.. Ma
guirel is one Of the fruits of their work.
They claim that there are many thou
sands of single takers in this State, and
point to the fact that several newspa-
pers have thought them numerous
enough to justify the setting up OF
single tax departments in such pa
pers, where the friends Of the doctrine
have been afforded a free field for the
PRONUNCIATION of their arguments.
They claim that every single taxer in
the State, whether before a Republican,
a Democrat or Populist will vote for
Mcguire, and in this assertion we think
they are right. Yet Mr.. Mcguire, while
mailing single tax literature under his
frank daily, and sending it to the peo-
pie post free, is with his voice declar-
ing vociferously that the single tax is
not an issue in his candidacy. His col
leagues of the single tax societies diff
fer with him fatty, and some of them
have given voice to rebukes directed
against him for the demagogic posi-
ton he assumes.

NOT A REPUBLICAN WAR.

Senator White in his campaign speech
serted that the Republican party Is
claiming that the late war with Spain
was a Republican war, and that to the
party all credit for it is due.
This is untrue and Mr.. White knows
it. The Republican party has never
claimed that the war was a party war
or to be passed to its credit. He can
not produce a single line of reputable
testimony to that effect. Every promi-
nent Republican speaker, essayist and
thinker who has given voice to thought
upon the subject of the war, has
treated it as a national matter, involv-
ing no party politics whatever.
The President, as head of the party
made no distinction in his appoint
ments because Of political faith. He in
no instance inquired or concerned him
self concerning the political predilec-
tions of an officer or agent Of the Gov
ernment in the prosecution of the war
Not a single Republican newspaper OF
any note whatever has preferred the
claim that the war was a Republican
war. Mr.. White simply falsifies when
he makes the charge he does
But Republicans do say that the Ad-
ministration during the war was Re-
publican; that a Republican Admins
tration is made the target for whatever
fault can be found with the conduct
Of the war, and that whatever
credit is due to an Administration for
safe and wise steering of the ship OF
state through such troublous waters is
therefore justly due to that Admins
tration. That is simple, everyday jus
tice, which no fair man will attempt to
deny.
