Says Statements About Slave Trade the South Are Not
True--That the Law Was 0beyed.

der by slow and horrible degrees. There
were some features Of our slavery sys-
TEN that were bad enough and gave deep
concern to all good citizens. hut there
was nothing to be compared to this inn
portation from Congo and orr pride has
been that only New England barlarians
engaged in it. The eminent Judge Story
once charged the grand jury in Boston
that it was notorious that Boston peo-
pie were deeply, engaged in this slave
trade and were amasSing fortunes out
of this blood money and it was Il dis
grace to their civilization and must he
stopped. Next morning the newspapers
of Boston lampooned him for that
charge and animated that it was none
of mis- business. Boston and New Bed
ford continued it until 1913 and when
they could sell no mere to the South they
sold them TO Brazil and other countries
These are the facts that have been kept
behind the scenes while Harriet Beech
er Stowe and Wendell Phillips were
engaged in dcnOuncing the South for
defending slavery as a system General
Grant owned slaves up to the very date
Of their freedom ANA they built a mil
lion dollar monument to him and sing
his praises but continue TO abuse the
South. What curious people they are.
All of I4incoln's wifc's people were slave
owners and her brothers were in the
Confederate army and Lincoln said: "lf
can save the Union without freeing
the negroes will do it." and yet these
same fanatics quilt a monument to him
for proclaiming them free, though he
said that he did it only as war meas
ure The fact remains and will remain,
that neither Grant nor Lincoln cared
anything for. the negro and the fact re-
mains that the manner of their freedom
has been their greatest curse. OF course
we cannot expect the North to do us
justice. but we cannot let the utterances
of Mr.. McGee or any other Southern
man pass without protest.

THE MATTER OF RED CROSS
DONATIONS.

correspondent wishes to know why
receipt of some contributions to the
Red Cross Society are published and
the giving of others receives no notice
in the news columns, and he wishes
this journal to demand a complete
list Of all donations to the Red Cross
for publication The Record Union"
will do nothing of the kind. 1t does
not desire to contribute to the eXalta-
ton of personal vanity, nor does 1t
wish to enter upon the publication Of
the city directory. There are hundreds
Of people who give, who especially de-
sire that their charity shallnotbe bruit-
ed abroad They give in qualification
of a patriotic and truly benevolent spir-
1t, and not to see their names paraded
people who give their mites who do
not wish to have their inability to
make them larger displayed in type,
Yet their giving is just as refined and
noble as that of any others.
1t is true that some contributions
have been listed in print, but the Rec
ord-Union" holds that none should be
published, save and except those made
by lodges and other organized bodies,
that the membership thereof may know
that their associations have taken ac-
ton. But personal contributions we
are decidedly averse to publishing. To
print them would not constitute a
financial check upon the officers of the
Red Cross. That organization has its
own system under management of safe
and practiced business intelligences.
If giving is made simply to secure
the printing Of the name of the donor,
1t loses. the virtue it should possess,
and becomes a mockery. Those who
give in sincerity and nobility of soul
are entirely careless concerning the
praise they may or may not receive

The Spanish Government refuses to
accede to exchange Of prisoners. This
announcement has been made in the
matter of the proposal to exchange for
Lieutenant Hobson and his men. 1t
is probably intended to be general and
apply to all prisoners. This is an un-
usual decision and reflects upon Span
ish honor, concerning which the Span
lard is so very sensitive-according to
his own account. Yet it seems never
to have touched him upon the quick
that placing prisoners in the line of
fire, as Cervera reported to Sampson
he had done in Hobson's case, is about
as abhorrent a thing as a man of honor
could contemplate. But the refusal to
exchange means that our poor fellows
who are gathered in by Spanish troops
prisons and Spanish fare for captives,
and neither have been suspected OF
being decent If unlucky Hobson and
his men are not starved to DEATH

outright by being placed in line Of fire
in some early battle, we will be sur
prised and confess our error-a con-
fession, however, not warranted by
history of Spanish methods.

The opponents of the war-and there
are not a few, the class Of people who
would growl over a passport to heaven
what they conceive to be an ingenious
and unanswerable argument, that Of
late has been advanced with more and
more OF assurance that it is impreg-
nable. They say in substance: '"The
war wars begun to relieve the distresses
Of the unhappy Cubans. Prior to the
declaration of war that was claimed to
be the one overshadowing humane pur-
pose Of the United States, and 1t did
60 so far as to dispatch numerous re-
lief expeditions to Cuba But, by de-
elaring and engaging in war, all hope
OF saving the starving from death is
cut off. We have, therefore, by our
act, been guilty Of gross inhumanity
and have made the later condition Of
the reconcentrados more fearful than
the earlier. What now" exclaim these
wiseacres, "are the American people to
say to such an outcome Of action By
their Government? 1t is a thin shell
and easily crushed. The United States
did attempt to relieve the reconcentra-
dos. 1t did send in supplies. 1t did
succeed in distributing considerable
sustaining food, some clothing and
some medicines. But the Spanish au-
thorities resisted, impeded and defeated
the good offices of the American people
largely. Supplies were stolen from our
agents to fatten Spanish soldiers. The
messengers Of our mercy and charity
were assaulted and driven away. The
Red Cross people were told point blank
that the Spanish Red Cross was suffi-
cient for all needed work in Cuba. The
United States saw little real charity

Ing those who were still subject

Our efforts were found to be actually

Russia is about to take a step that
upon the Philippine question. She has
sent two naval supply ships from Odes-
sa bound for Port Arthur. These will
necessarily pass through the Philip
pine archipelago. If they touch at
Manila, as it would seem they must
do for coal, their papers will have to
be exposed to Admiral Dewey. If the
papers are issued or vised by Spanish
officials Dewey will be put in an
awkward fix, though he might get out
as the transports are armed ships OF
the Russian navy and fly the flag of the
Gar But Russia has foreseen the
difficulty and had her transports pa
pers vised by the American Consul at
Odessa, thus qualifying for entry into
any American port. Now, it is i'm
probable that the boats will be driven
by stress of weather to any continen-
tai American harbor. Such a thing is
all but impossible. Therefore the Rus
sian Government IluSI nave COAtcHI-
plated the use of the papers at Manila.
If so, and they are presented to the
American and not the Spanish officials
at Manila, there will be quasi-recogni-
ton Of our jurisdiction and sovereignty
over the Philippines. But before the
ships reach Manila they may also Sc
cure Spanish papers, perhaps by direct
application to the Government, and
thus be in a position to use either, as
circumstances may demand, though
such an act would be without precedent
and be most unusual; indeed, it is
thought by many that application for
Spanish papers would not be granted
after American vising of the ships
clearance.
The Russians may also hold, and with
a good deal of support by reason, that
the act of taking American attestation
would mean only recognition of de
facto domination by Americans in Ma
Mia Bay, not as recognition of right of
possession, and therefore that the TAX
ing Of the papers to the American Con-
sui at Odessa was simply wise precau-
ton.

The present attitude Of the United
States towards Hawaii is largely pater-
nal, while partly fraternal. This is
due to the fact that the people of the
island group have more adopted Amer

kindly and uplifting influence of an
American population in Hawaii. 1t
