he WORE TIE BADGE.

a story is told of resident OF the
city, who went on visit to the coun-
try.
Upon his return he told his neigh
bors that daring his four weeks abb
sence he had eaten but little else than
pork and accordingly was Ashamed to
look hog in the face"
This seems to be President McKIN.
LEY's predicament. During his ten
days visit in the South he has been
captured by so many ex Confederate
organizations and emssculated and by
silent acquiescence taken back or
''eaten" go many OF the principles of
the Grand Army of the Republic that
upon his return to Washington, he will
be ashamed to look a union veteran
IN the face"
As an indication OF Mr.. McKINLEY's
predicament and embarrassment, the
following from Macon, Ga, is q sur
prising statement of facts:
AS the Pr sident was about to pre-
coed DIR. Roland B. Hall, another vet
eran addressed him as follows:
"Mr. President,-In behalf of our no.
BILE dead and as Confederate veterans
we are here to manifest our apprecia-
ton of the noble and generous senti-
nent you have recently uttered Dc
US the honor sir. to acsept and wear
this badge Of a Confederate veteran
camp, which bears your likeRess and
words which should endeer you to the
heart OF every Confederate"

mony the President marched aheaC

Confederate badge on the President
coat as he passed through the lines o
veterans called forth voSiferous cheer
and as long as he was in sig the,
cheered him.
The President wore the badge dur
ing his stay in Macon"
} The idea OF q s9utherner telling th
: President OF the United States that n
, must do what the President declare
: that he did not deem that is was prop
er that he should do is preposterous.

MACKAY:
"Pace through thy cell, old Socrates,
Cheerily 20 and fro;
Trust to the impulse of thy soul.
And let the poison flow.
They may shatter to earth the lamp Of

That holds light divine,
But they cannot Quench the IRE OF
thought
By any such deadly wine.
They cannot blot thy spoken words
From the memory OF man,
| By all the poison ever was brewed
Since time its course began.
Today abhorred, tomorrow adored.
So round and round we run,
And ever the truth comes uppermost
And ever is Justice DONE"

SIGNIFICANT UTTRRANOEs.

THE speech delivered by President
MoKIELEY az the oint session Of the
G sorgis legislature Wednesday, Dec.
l4th, 1898 has attracted the attention
OF the entire country and brought
forth comment from all quarters.
Every soldiers grave made during
our unfortunate civil war is O tribute
to American valor, and while, when
those graves were made. we differed
widely about the future of this govern
ment, the differences were long age
settled by the arbitrament of arms-
and the time has now come in the evo-
luton Of sentiment and feeling, under
the providence of God. when, in the
spirit OF fraternity, we should
share with you in the care OF the
graves of the Confederate soldiers"
And agsin:
"The cordial feeling now happily ex-
isting between the North and the
South prompts this gracious act, and
il it needed further justii ,ation, it is
found in the gallant loyalty to the Un
ion and the fsg 80 conspicu ously sho wn
in the year just passed by the sons and
grand-sons of these heroic dead.
"Whst a glorious future awaits us
IT, unitedly, wisely, and bravely we
face the new problems, now pressin z
upon us, determined TO solve them for
right and humanity
The sentim snt expressed is very
fine, and we have no disposition to
sound even one dlscordant note, as the
uni6cation of the sections seems to be
taking place.
However, we had hoped that the
President would have gone 9 step
further and cared for the living as well
as the dead. The South is having itl
way at the national capital, and il
has challenged admiration from al
quarters, on account of it's peaceful
successes during the last decade.
President McKINLxY may not recon-
mend the pensioning of the ex Oopfed
crates, but he will TO doubt be aske,
to do it. This will be test OF tn
kind friendship ma ifested. 1t will b
iprActical legislation against that of tn
sentimental kind.
| In view of his utterances. how can b
tell them, nay? The end is not yet.

THE NEGRO AND POLITICS.

Tha Richmond. Va, EVENING LEAD.
ER in its issue of Dee. 10th says:
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is
quoted by Washington paper as hay
ing said:
"'I am one man who believes that
the Southern man understands the
Negro better than the men CT the
North. When talked to the colored
boys down here the last time 1 advised
them to keep out of politics. Now.
boys ssid, get out your pencils and
paper. In one column put down the
salaries of every politician holding Of
fee in this (your) county. In par
allel column put down the value of the
eggs laid in the county. The hens
will make more money every day than
the politicians. Therefore, raise more
chic kens, raise your meats. and learn
Co make your farms pay and produce q
LIVELIHOOD. Keep out of politics. This
is really the salvation of the Negro.
Education and scientific farming will
bring him wealth and independence"
1t then remarks:
1.-THE Evening Leader has given and
reiterated this advice to the colored
people, but they will attach more i'm
Il
ern Republican"
Perhaps they will, but that will be
all. II those boys were thinkers, they
naturally enquired among themselves
"How did Mr.. WILSON come to be Sec.
rotary of Agriculture? Was it by leav,
| ing politics alone, or by dischargins
his duty as an American citizen?' The
EvKSINa LEADER concludes:
"The professional Negroes are for
ever Wanting about political racogni
ton for the black man, the full mean
ing OF which is that few leaders arr
given q petty Office here and there ans
the colored race must pay the penalty
What mas the Negro ever gotten out o
politics? Nothing but trouble and tia
is all that he ever will get out OF it,"
The colored people got their freedom
out of politics. for Abb AIsM LTScoLl

of the United States but for politics
They got the right to vote by politics
aud they have the laws of citizenshi
