MR.. ROYALL CAUSED A SENSA
TION

Mr.. William L. Royal, vino recently
resigned the Craftsmanship of the Grand
Camp, Confederate Veterans, history
committee because the caup would not
adopt his views on secession, delivered
an address before the Sons Of Veterans
in Richmond last night. which created
quite a sensation. Mr.. Royals theme
WAS "The Inspirations Sons of Confed.
crate Veterans Should Draw from the
War" He divided the discourse into
three parts, discussing the questions:
whether your fathers had the right
with them in the course which they
pursued between 1861 and 1865; the
course which you, their sons, should
pursue in all matters that are affected
by the questions before them in 1861;
the way in which they demeaned them
selves in that period" Mr.. Royal ar
gued the right of secession, discussing
it from both historical and constitu-
tional point of view, and paid q tribute
to the bravery and devotion OF the Con.
federate soldier.
1t was his criticism of Mr.. Davis and
the Confederate government that Great
ed surprise and aroused the ire of the
older veterans.
1.-THE point l want so make here to-
night" he said, is that the Confeder-
ate soldiers who endured what no other
soldiers ever endured, and fought on
the field of battle as no other soldiers
ever fought, were not conquered by
their armed adversaries. Ga, no! 10
contest between them and other arm
ed men they were unconquerable.
They were conquered by foe that
they could not contend with. They
were conquered by hunger and cold,
and the civil administration of the Con.
federate government is culpably re-
spoDsible for the conquest.
81 want to make the point here to-
night that it was not he that lost the
war, but those he depended on to sup
ply him with what was necessary for
the war. He did his duty, and if
others had done theirs as he did his the
Confederacy would have won its cause
But others upon whom the responsible
ty of furnishing him food and clothes
culpably failed to perform their duty
and left him no alternative but to lay
down his arms. The Confederate SOL
der was not conquered, but betrayed. !"

LEE CAMP, of Confederates of Rich
mond, like the Pickett Comp OF that
CITY. has endorsed the action OF the
Grand Camp of the State IN rejecting
that portion of the report of the Camps
History Committee which declared that
the right of secession was abrogated at
Appomattox. It could have done moth
ing else, as what is once right is always
right. Truth is immutable. The
trainers of the Constitution must have
thought secession was right, or they
would have provided against it. 1t
may not be wise to resort to it again,
but to say that it is wrong is to impugn
the honor and intelligence of the men
who sacrificed their lives and their for
tunes in its defense.

No matter how badly the negroes, who

From Manila.

MANILA, Oct. 25.-It is practically
assured that the Insurgents will make
no difficulty in withdrawing completely
from Manila. Orders for their with
drawal came from Malolos Sunday
evening and reached the insurgent
commanders yesterday, and the troops
have until tonight to get out. The
negotiations for the exchange of the
Spanish and Filipino prisoners drag
along slowly. Aguinaldo says he is
anxious to get rid of the prisoners if
tie Spaniards promise to release all pc.
litical exiles. NJ. Andre, the Belgian
Consul, is very hopeful OF the success
OF the negotiations, which will be re-
sumed as soon as the difficulties with
II Americans are settled. Aguinado
sent representative on Saturday to
ask Admiral Dewey to release the in.
surgent launches and also the steamer
Abbey, which brought arms for the in.
surgents. Dewey refused 10 do so and
replied that he would seize the insur.
gent steamer Filipinos wherever he
found her. Yesterday Admiral Dewey
wrote to NJ. Andre saying that unless
the insurgents agreed to exchange
prisoners with the Spaniards he would
seize all four of their remaining yes

a NEWSPAPER of Washington that
admires the President and supports his
administration says: THE negro has
proved to the satisfaction of the entire
country that he is incapable of con-
Quoting q civilized and wholesome gov
eminent" But Mr.. Mckinley still ap
points negro collectors and marshals
and postmasters in the South. 1t may
be that the paper referred to thinks
that while the negro is incapable OF
conducting government in the North,
he is capable of doing so in the South. a
great many Northern people labor un-
der the same delusion.

Two YEARS ago the so called gold
democrats did all they could to help the
republicans, writing, speaking and vot-
ing for them. Now, however, when some
of those in the North have succeeded in
having their own men nominated for
Congress, their republican allies, instead
of reciprocating in kind and reWardine
one good turn with another, scout and
fout them, and tell them to go back to
the party they deserted for selfish ends
aag which is no worse than they are
In view of this it is not surprising thai
Senator Tillman and other true blue
democrats take little or no interest in
the result of the election of the partic'
ular Northern, so-called democratic
candidates referred to.

JUDGING FROM the newspapers, there
is almost as much need for the U. 5.
army in several parts of this country,
including the national capital, to keep
the negroes quiet and make them obey
the laws, as there is in any of the newly
conquered provinces. Aud why law
and order should not be more desir able
here. than thousands of miles oil and
among heather foreigners, can be told
only by annexationists.

The CUBAN debt, no matter for what
purpose it was created, was contracted
by the de jure and de facto government
of Cuba, aud as the United States have
deposed that government, seized Cuba,
hold it and have assumed jurisdiction
over it, Spain certainly h0s good
ground for claiming that they are
bound for the debt for which the seized
territory was security, and the denial OF
shat claim is only another instance OF
the old natural rule that might makes
right.

saws if the democrats shall have a ma
iority in the next Congress, the silver
question will be "reopened." The
Senator has been asleep. The ques-
ton is not closed, never has been, and
never will be until free silver coinage
shall have been submitted to a fair
test, so that its effect may be seen by
all men. Then aud not before will the
question be closed and tbs depressing
uncertainty respecting the currency be
settled. Aud why it shouldn't be, is in
explicable TO all except the self-inter-
ested, for surely the condition could
hardly be worse than it is.

THE GENERAL COURT.

Boston, April 2i.--The house recon-
siiered the passage Of the liquor license
bill for the city of Boston and amended
it by providing for 800 licenses for the
whole city. instead OF one for each 1000
population.
AS a result Of the attorney generals
opinion. the governor sent a special mes
sage 10 the legislature suggesting the
advisability OF so amending the statutes
that bombardment risks may be written
by Massachusetts fire insurance com
panies and by such foreign compan les
as have sufficient broad provisions in
their charters.
The committee on election laws re-
ported bill to permit candidates for
representatives In the legislature, except
In Boston. In districts wholly in town
or city. and candidates for municipal
offices. to be nominated by direct caucus
vote where the district is composed In
part Of ward or wards. or OF town or
towns or several towns; the nomina-
tion may be made by direct caucus vote.
provided that the several local party
committees of the district vote so uNan-
imously.
Without debate the house rejected the
bill to constitute eight hours a days
work for city and town employees
On motion OF Mr. Cullnane OF Law
renee, the bill for a uniform rate Of
wages and hours of labor for mechanics
and laborers on public works was post
poned to Tuesday.

COTTON INDUSTRY.
Another Hearing Given on Causes
OF Depression.
Secretary Ross Of the Spinners Union
Made an Interesting Address.

Still another hearing was giyon yesterday
afternoon. by tbs joint special committee
appointed 20 investigate into the depressed
condition OF the cotton industry OF tho State.
in the hall OF the House Of Representatives
and Mr.. Joseph Ross. secretary of the spin.
ners' Union and member OF The Massa
chusetis legislature. spoke. Mr.. Ross after
speaking OF the manufacture Of cotton goods
in the South, said that he was convinced that
ID would be much easier 10 reduce wages In
the South than In the North. The fact re-
mains that tho South has but little advan-
tage over the North.
He said: The cost of labor IN Massachusetts,
was less than In any OF the Southern States
where the cotton industry is carried ON. Il
know there is Southern competition. but IL is
not from the causes cited by the Northern
manufacturers. The South will be a great
producer OF the coarser fabrics because of its
proximity to the cotton field. Then there il
another thing that IL IN favor of the Northern
mill men. They can hire money st 3 per
cent, while the Southern manufacturer has
TO pay per cent However. the Southern
laborer can live cheaper than can the North
erner ever hope to do. La his opinion the
entire cause of tho depression was overpro-
duction. The parties who are responsible are
the manufacturers. They canaot agree to
curtail When they do we will have what we
ought To have. not reduction in wages but
a curta.lment Of production.

English Light on Our History.

Those poor, simple minded Knickerbockers
who have been taught to believe that their
beloved city was in possession Of the British
during the greater part Of the Revolutionary
War. until the oft-celebrated Evacuation day,
Nov. 90, 1853. and that Cornwalis surrendered
his army at Yorktown, on the peninsula OF
virginin, have been historically upside down
for more than century. Consequently all
our books Of history must be sent across the
ocean for revision.
That this is necessary is shown by a late
publication of the British Government enti-
tied Historical and Descriptive Catalogue OF
the National Portrait Gallery, Abridged, Re-
vised, and Continental by Lionel Gust, M.
A., r. 4. A., Director. Keeper and Secretary.
This great collection of portraits OF national
worthics includes one OF Charles, Marquesc
CORVALLIS. X. O., by Gainsborough, and it's
description in the catalogue is supplemented
by q 20-iine biography for the Information and
instruction OF oil British subjects. The
learned Director Keeper and Secretary, Mas
ter ~ Arts and Fellow Of the Society OF An
tiquaries has avniled himself of this oppor-
tunity 10 teach history anew. For tho benc
fit of those Americans who hive not time 20
await the necessary revision of our standard
histories, the essential paragraph from this
5O0page publication Of her Majes.y's Govern
ment may be given in advance. II 10 az fol.
lows:
Toward the end Of the American war Lord
CORVALLIS rendered Important military SER
vice; but he was at length overpowercd and
compelled to surrender his whole army TO the
united forces OF America and France. at New
York, Oct. 10 1851.
To ;he NJ. A., +. &. A., Yorktown was q
terra incognita. He bad heard once upon q
time, however, that there was small town
somewhere in America called New York, so
he has revised the biography Of Lord Corn
wallis TO Agroe with the full measure of his
knowledge of'thc history Of his own country
and OF ours.-Ihc Sun.
