GEN. LEES BooK.-General Fitz Lee
has not been able to give much at
tention for some time past to his book
on Cuba. His publishers have lately
been pressing him for copy, and for
IN early completion of this work. His
wife's illness and preoccupation with
military affairs have prevented him. 1t
is understood that the publishing house
very recently offered the general extra
money Inducements to finish the book
at once. His reply, it is understood,
was that if they were 10 offer him a
hundred thousand dollars he could not
finish the work now.

converted u people 10 a loyalty that
did not before exist, as republicans have
steadily claimed. 1t is true that the
republicans in Congress passed a bill
last spring to remove all Southern disa-
hilities, but this was after the victims
OF their prescription had almost, with
out exception, passed to that better
land where republican malice cannot
extend. To republican politicians the
idea of Southern men speaking and
voting freely in political action Is Of
fensive. To them the spectacle OF q
South "solid" to resist wrong aud pill
lage, solid against negro domination
and Mr.. McKinley's negro office hold
ers, solid to CO operate with patriotic
men at the North and solid against the
Northern politicians who have treated
hem as an inferior and conquered ma
iionalitv, is an exhibition of q treason
able spirit. The opposition to the gold
standard, TO the money power, to govern
meut by Injunction and the demand for
free coinage and an income tax all these
things in the opinion Of Messrs. Nc
Kinley, Platt and Hanna demonstrate
that the Sou bern people are barbara
ans anarchists, enemies of society and
the Lord only knows what else. This
is what they all said of us who sup
ported Mr. Bryan two years ago. Just
now, the President speaks more softly.
These petty differences of anarchy and
treason must be ignored or put out OF
sight till q republican House can be
elected and fresh chains forged for the
people, fresh taxes, an enlarged debt, a
grand colonial system and banks to is
sue all the money of the country except
gold. Mr.. Mckinley is very cunning,
but his scheme, it is hoped, will not
work. The people surely have had
enough OF him and his party.

The ENROLMENT of negro troops
seems TO have revived in their race at
the South the desire for domination to
which they were inspired by the repub-
licans during the dire days OF recon
struction, and Notwithstanding the
natural and inevitable result of all their
attempts to crafty that desire, the poor,
ignorant creatures persist in them. AS
long as human nature and this country
snail exist, the only way by which
negroes can live here happily is by &C.
knowledging the supremacy OF The
white man and by abandoning not only
their desire for domination, but also for
social equality.
