THE SPIRIT OF THE CONFEDERATE SOL
DlERS.

The shirt of the Confederate soldier
is seen in the recent statement by Nad'
Hampton that if the younger South Car
olinians did not volunteer so as to MI III
Soutb Cardinals quota, he would forget
his age and his lost leg and defend th'
flag.
The same sentiment is expressed in i
letter recently received from Col. John
n. Lane. the brave colonel of the TWEEN
tv-sixth North Carolina regiment. TIC
wrote:
"The old Confcderates, | guess, now
are rather old to go TO Cuba. My heart
warns up for my country and | feel like
rather than for the flag OF my country to
trail in the dust l yet could grasp the
staff and assist in holding it above the
clouds.
1T is for the young men 10 fight the
battle of their country. | cannot urge
the soldiers of the Lost Cause 10 under
take something now that their age for
bids their doing. But l think | can say
for every one of MS that not one of us
viii he found wanting in any duty we
can render"
1t is because of this spirit that we have
hoped that Governor Russell would APP
point young and vigorous eX-Con-
fcderate soldier TO the colonelcy of the
second regiment of North Carolina
troops to he mustered into service this
week. 1t was fitting that Col. Armfield,
a gallant young colonel of the State
Guard whose entire command promptly
enlisted. should have been the colonel
of the first regiment AS the second
is composed largely of volun-
teers who have not been members of the
States militia, the appointment of an
ex- Confederate as colonel would be Il
fitting way to recognize the devotion to
Old Glory of the men who wore the gray
There are not few who have enlisted
and who are young and vigorous enough
to stand hard campaigning.

WHY OUR CAUSE WILL TRIUMPH.

The United States has 70.000,000 in
habitants; Spain has 100000.
The United States has no insurgents
anywhere, its people all being knit to-
gether by common Interest," SPANS
possessions are honeycombed with revo-
luton and hostility to the government.
The United States has&no civil COM
motion; Spain is rent and torn in fac
tons.
The 4 per cent bonds of the United
States sell on the market at from 111lla
to 40 and there is n strong demand for
them; Spain's per cent bonds bring 32lA
cents on the dollar and are constantly
depreciating in value.
The United States has n powerful navy
| manned by men. flushed with victory at
Manila; Spain has an inferior navy, its
officers dispirited at defeat and conscious
| that they cannot win against superior
forces and superior equipment.
The United States is fighting for moth
ing but humanity and redress of blow
inflicted by which its sailors were
treacherously murdered; Spain is fight
ing to hold on to an island in which
its sovereignty for all good purposes is
extinct.
These are the reasons that have caused
us to believe all along that the war would
be of short duration and that the result
| was not open TO the least doubt.

GONE DAFT"

When we entered into a discussion
with REV. SUTTON E. GRIaas, B. D., the
associate editor of the VIRGINIA BAP-
list, we presumed that he was compe-
tent to engage in an intelligent discus
sion.
The few weeks which have interven-
ed brought about his complete humili-
alton in the forum of debate. His last
article is replete with buffoonry, and
his language borders upon that of i'm
becility.
He has ignored authorities and dis
carded reason. We proved that subsi-
dizing did not mean dishonesty or brib-
cry, although he declared it did.
We proved that the AMERICAN BAP-
TIsT HOME MISSION SOCIETY, and the
AMERICAN BAPTIST PUBLICATION SOCIETY
had prscticed substituting, and accord
ingsto his reasoning were guilty of an
improper and wicked thing.
We proved that the journal of which
he is associate editor had been subsi-
died, and he declared according to his
reasoning that the editor of such a
journal was dishonest.
To those statements, he has been
unable to make truthful denial. He
has not cited an authority to back up
his absurd claim. and finally he has
reached that plane, where it is seri-
Gus question as to whether he is suffer
ing from the effects of that beverage
which he has been condemning or gone
crazy over the subject which he has
had under discussion.
It would be well for this efferves-
cent individual to 60 slow next time
and be careful of the persons attacked
remembering the story of the bull and
the locomotive.
The divine adage, physician, heal
myself" is applicable in his case.
It would be we'll for some one to un-
hinge and take down that loud sound
ing title of"B. d." which is now con-
nected with his name.
Judged by his articles, no one will at.
tach to it the proper significance, as it
will be presumed to stand for either
Bad Dog or Big Ounce.
No one would presume that a theo-
logical institution would or could send
forth such an excuse FOR q minister of
the gospel of our Lord and Saviour,
Jesus Christ. His condition might be
improved by a pint Of vinegar in a
quart Of brandy, taken every hour.

THE MURDER OF THE POSTMASTER.

The Postmaster General, under the
authority OF President McKNLE-,
backed by the entire cabinet. has offer
ed a reward of fifteen hundred dollars
for the arrest and conviction of each
of the lynchers OF Postmaster BAKER at
Lake City, s. O.
This is a movement in the right d.
rection, but this government should do
more than this. 1t should provide for
that wounded wife and the manned
daughters of this unfortunate citizen
of color.
We can provide fifty million Of dol
lars for the conduct Of an imaginary
war with Spain, why can we not APP
propriate twenty-five thousand dollars
for the family OF the actually murdered
government official at Lake City, S. @.
For the murder of a few itinerant
German missionaries in China. the ex-
ecutioR Of the alleged mur6erers was
demanded and complied with and the
port occupied by the German forces
For the thirty days imprisonment OF
half-breed, Haiti was forced to pay
thousands of dollars in gold.
For the butchery ola colored citizen
of this republic and an officer Of the
national government. no indemnity
had been demanded by the national
government of South Carolina, but ex-
preston of regret and promises to hunt
down the murderers have been regard
ed as all sufficient.
The department seems to content it.
self with the abolition of the pcstoffice,
which is more g punishment to the col
ored folks than it is to the white ones,
because the latter are better able to
go twenty-five or even thirty miles to
another postoffice to get their mail.
The President of these United States.
pardon the presumption should only
have abolished that post-office, when
he had made an effort and ascertained
that no colored man OF the same race
and hue could 5e found to accept it.
The fiends who murdered Mr. BAKER
lived no doubt at other post-oifices and
in other counties, and are in nowise af-
fected by the seeming energy of the
Department.
VIII President MCKINLEY recon-
mend the appropriation of twenty five
thousand dollars or more for the relief
of the family of Postmaster BAKER ?
This is the question.
When Consul-General FITzHUGH LEE
reported that suffering existed among
the unfortunate inhabitants of Cuba,
an appropriation OF fifty thousand dol
lars was made for United States Citi
zens," who could not speak other than
the Spanish language and had never
seen the shores of the United States.
What will the government. do in the
case OF Postmaster BAKER2 Useless in
vestigations and fruitless rewards will
not do. Mr.. President, the family OF
the unfortunate official needs atten-
ton. What will your answer be

GEN. MoRGAN's LETTER.

WE publish elsewhere this week the
letter Of GEN. I. J. MoReAN, CORES
pending secretary Of the AMERICAN
BAPTIST HOME MISSION SooIKTY.
His statements are official and the
Society is committed to any policy
which he outlines.
Taking this view of it, then, his
words are significant. aud bear out
in toto our oft-expressed opinion that
the organization did not endorse the
views set forth by the alleged agents
and defenders" of that great Baptist
body when they attempted to belittle
the colored peoples efforts or pro-
neunce as i'll advised and wrong all
movements tending TO the elevation of
our people, along distinctive racial
lines.
We are grstitied to present TO our
readers an official denial OF any such
policy.
We have never seen the necessity for
any disagreement, We can aid and
encourage the work of the American
Baptist Home Mission Society, with
out to any sppreciable extent inter
fering with our efforts to build up
Baptist racial enterprises.
There should be friendly rivalry as
to the quantity of work accomplished /;
but it should never reach that point
where the cripPlina method of contro-
versy should be resorted to.
There are at the present time about
one million, five hundred thousand
Colored Baptists and Of this number
we feel safe in saying that at least one
million are doing nothing towards in
creasing the finance Of the denomina-
tiOn or adding to its material posses
sions.
Why not endeavor to harness" this
mighty power, alongside of which
the pent up energy, of the NIAGARA is
an infant?

CONDEMNS, YET LOVES IT.

The VIRGINIA BAPTIST contained the
following from the pen of that edito-
rial monotrosity, Rev. SUTTON E.
GRIoos. He had the audacity to use
the following language:
The liquor dealers desiring to in
crease their business and spread their
borders came to Mr. Mitchell and paid
him to let them spread their business
through his paper. With his eyes wide
open with the money in his hand Mr.
Mitchell allowed the liquor dealers to
use the paper which his energy had
built up to spread their demoralizing
their deathly influence. At stated
times they open their drawers and
hand over TO Mr.. Mitchell q certain
proportion Of their ill-gotten gain"
For arrant gall. unmitigated brazen-
~ and unadulterated hypocrisy, the
above "ont- Herods Herod." What
kind Of q creature is Rev. GRIsGs any
way2 While being subsidized, he con-
dennis others who are subsidized
While receiving money in his church
from whiskey-dealers, he condemns
others for doing the same thing.
While receiving money from whis-
key-dealers for advertisements in the
columns of the VIRGINIA BAPTIST, he
condemns the editor of this journal
for receiving money for advertise
ments in the columns of the PLANET.
The VIRGINIA BAPTIST is a religious
journal; the RIoHNoND PLANET is q
secular one.
Our position en- the whiskey ques-
tion is we'll known, we have always ad-
vocated and voted for temperance.
And yet the VIRGINIA BAPTIST on page
two, at the bottom of the seventh col
umn publishes the advertisement of
one of the leading whiskev-dealers in
this city, Mr.. d. O'SuILIvAN.
On page three, third column, it pub
fishes the advertisement of the whis-
key-dealers, COLEMAN & BRO, of this
city. And yet this fawning hypocrite
has the audacity to tell US about pub
fishing in the PLANET, the advertise
ment of Mr.. JOHN M. HIaGINs, who
like Mr.. d. O'SULLIvAN and Messrs.
COLEMAN & BRo. sells whiskey aud
groceries as we'll.
We become impatient when we note
such absurdities.
Why did this individual write? Was
it to gain notoriety? Certainly it was
with no desire or expectation to win in
the discussion. He and his are guilty
of all of the sins which they have
charged to others.
Let him with his sheet uEder his
arm leap into the charitable waters Of
the Atlantic and leave his follies only
as glimmering reminder of what may
breathe, live and have existence for a
time, yet sink to rise no more.
