MIR. DAVIS LAST SPEECH.

The last public speech made by Jeffcr-
SON Davis was to a meeting ncar his
home ut Bcauvior i'll 1888. He said:

There are both patriotism and prophe
CIV in these noble words. The belief that
Mr.. Davis was embittered ny defeat and
by the sufTerings which he was made to
bear for other has no foundation. He
urged the people Of the South to lay
aside sectional feeling and to cherish
a love for the Union. He begged them
to look to the future and to contribute
as fully rs possible to the restoration
of complete unity Of sentiment and to the
strength of their reunited country. When
he spoke only a little while before his
death Of "a future Of expanding national
glory before which all the world shall

Admiral McNair and Lieutenant Com

carefulness. Mr.. Moore spends an

which he coyly %withholds as is bcfitting.
But Mr.. Moore. being officer in charge
of buildings and grounds. knows how to

Admiral Cervera is happily less Sccrc-

Let our people all distinctly understand
that imperialism ncccSSitateS an cnOr-
nous standing army. after the fashion
Of Germany. and IN enormous navy. with
its heavy taxation on the labor of our
people. Worse Of all, it changes the
whole character of our hitherto peace
loving nation. and it cnthroncs mill
tarism as Il permanent and dominant
principle, Disguise it rs they may, and
blind it as they may. that is the cataract
toward which the rapids of this new
imperialistic mani are rushing us, One
of the ablCst imperialiSts exclaimed the
other day, Our American republic IS
casting off its swaddling clothes Of baby
hood, and already stands up as an inter
national giant, armed cap and pie. =
There arc some of us who have supposed
that tho mission of our beloved land was
intelligent republican seif-government
no means II baby at the business Of
instructing old monarchics of Europe
and Asia. To follow in their old beaten
track Of governing by the sword has not
been the noble and sublime purpose OF
the republic Of Washington and Lincoln
the republic which bases its life on
the bedrock Of popular intelligence, peace
ful industry. and Christian conscience.
We have too many tremendous problems
to settle here at home without having
the peoples attention (and that of the
churches also) all absorbed by vcXing and
disturbing pe~rpleNities over foreign pos

CAPT. EULATE'S CHARACTER

Eulate. too. was there that morning.
Cervera dearly loves to be with Eulate.
The two are opposite tempcramcnts-
same tastes and different dispositions
which Walter Scott says is the binding
tie between people. Ccrycra loves Eu-
late as much as Mr.. Cleveland
used to love Carlisle, only OF a war foot
ing. Eulate? He IS Il man who is dcs-
pcrate and melancholy and tender and
steady all at once. He is Il mixture
which Ccrvera delights in. He is the
only officer besides Ccrvera who was not
required to sign his parole. He rebellel
and won over Admiral McNair. He
looks like a man of forty. with burnside
whiSkers which are passionate and his
lip abnormally proud.
