Origin Of the Title Daughter of
the Confederacy."

| sS ~SANSNSsNSJs
When the news of the death of Miss
Winnie Davis was conveyed to Gen
John B. Gordon 1t affected him deep
ply, 80 much so that he could not ven.
ture into an expression of his feeling,
Gen. Gordon had conferred on Mics
Davis the title of Daughter of the
Confederacy," and that story was
wildly recalled tonight.
1t was in 1886 that Mr.. Jefferson
Davis made his last triumphal pro-
cession throughout the Southern
States. The occasion which called
forth this demonstration was the lay
ing OF the cornerstone of a monu-
ment to the Confederate dead in the
city Of Montgomery, Ala.
AT the time Mr.. Davis was in ex-
ceedingly feeble health, and it was
only upon the personal call at Beau
voir OF Hon. w. S. Reese, Mayor OF
Montgomery, that he consented to
take the trip, Mrs. Davis exacting of
the Mayor his personal pledge that
he would himself be the attendant of
her husband. At the last moment
Miss Winnie decided to accompany
the party.
1t was on the next day that the
great demonstration in front of the
Alabama State Capitol took place.
Mr.. Davis, standing upon the same
spot on which he had been sworn In
as President of the Contederacy
twenty-five years before, spoke to the
assembled thousands. The demon
stration thus became contagious all
over the South, and 80 urgent were
the demands for visit from him that
he consented to make the trip, start
ing out from Montgomery on the At
lanta and West Point train. Thous-
snds of people gathered at every sta
ton, and MrsfDsvis was compelled
to make his appearance upon the
rear platform. 4 =
AT OpeliksMr. Davis. had to be
carried out stos$the$point where he
could see the people. Here he became
completely exhausted, and when West
Point, Ga, was reached, where were
gathered not less than 5000 people,
Mr.. Davis not only could not move,
but the doctor forbade any effort to
carry him out. Meantime the enthu-
siastic thousands were calling for
him, and Gen. John B. Gordon, rush
ing to the rear platform to quiet the
demonstration, found at his elbow
Miss Winnie Davis, who was amazed
at the enthusiasm which her fathers
name had evoked. Throwing his
arms around her shoulders, Gen.
Gordon exclaimed:
"Countrymen, your late President
can not come out to see.you, but here is
his daughter, our daughter, the
daughter OF the Confederscy."
The title thus hurriedly spoken was
taken up as happy thought, and
from that point onward it was "The
Daughter of the Confederacy" who
made her appearance when her father
was unable to move.
Ever since it has been the chief
pleasure of Miss DaYis to attend tho
reunions of the Confederate veterans,
who always insisted upon her occupy
ing seat upon the stage at the right
hand Of tue presiding officer ATTAIN.

Senator Allen, OF Nebraeka. shows .
remarkable want az information concern.
Ing the dipiomatic relations between Other
countries and the history Of his own when
he takes up valuable time in order

telling the country what II shall do"
That sensitive gentleman sees In a per-
functory official act ''the first step toward
the breaking down Of the Monroe doctrine
and the. destruction OF the nation" The
powers did not tell this country what it
should do. The ministers from other
countries merely performed friendly act
on behalf of a European nation with
which they were on friendly terms. Their
task was most delicatel,s performed and in
language which was compliment to this
country. The presidents reply was dig
nified and firm. 1t Is xrrie he did not
use the brusque language which Senator
Allen thinks he would have used. but 1t
was quite as effcacious although that OF
a gentleman.

Republican politics in Pennsylvania
Is always interesting. although the
party elsewhere Is kept in condition of
unrest through every campaign in the
keystone state. The end Is always the
same. and Senator Quay remains as he
has done for years the head OF the orr
ganization In state politics. What keeps
the Republicans I'm other states In a
state Of anxiety is that each successive
campaign finds what promises to be a
more formidable revolt than ever
against him. IL the result were TO be
only the deposition OF Quay from leader
ship. Il might not be an unmixed evil.
Bat so powerful Is he that the fear ex-
lists he can only be defeated by the de-
feat OF flie party. This has happened
on more than one occasion. and notably
that when Patterson. the Democratic
candidate. was elected by a great ma
torlty.
This time the opposition TO Quay has
taken the form of an independent move

10 be United States senator. but when
