The news from Raleigh is that there
are eight or nine democrats in the leg
islature who will not vote for the con-
stitutional amendment. There are
western members who oppose. This
sort Of thing makes some eastern men
the interests and conditions of the two
sections are SO unlike. When The Mes
senger gave out a prompt note of
warning certain dailies pitched into
The Messenger, charging it with being
too previous" and "hysterical' and so
on. But The Messenger was far bet

the vote at the polls. The assurances
were given, however, that all was
right, that the party was united, and
all as calm as a fair summers day.
Our correspondent at Raleigh in yes
terday's Messenger, said there are
plenty Of votes to carry the amend
ment, ever if eight or nine democrats
who have been excused from voting do
not vote for it." Do they crave a con-
tinuance Of negro rule? Do they desire
to keep the east under the domina-
ton of those who have so abused,
cursed and afflicted it? And the repub-
licans are encouraged and laying pipes
for a surprise"
The amendment may not exactly sat
isfy many democrats, but it is the best,
as we learn. that can be obtained I'M
der the circumstances. The people have
reason to be much gratified with the
purse pursued by it's representatives
in the house. Both Mr.. Rountree and
\ Mr.. Willard have stood by pledges

the very best that could be obtained as
a compromise. His speeches before the

made a reputation as being one of the
very foremost lawyers in the state
now. His efforts in behalf of the
amendment are sai to have been

It is positively certain that the
southern people are opposed to any
such departures in our government as
those favored by imperialists n ex-
pansionists. A wise and healthful con-
servatism prevails to a very great x
tent in the south in this important
matter of government. We believe that
80 per cent. of the southern democrats
are decidedly against the new and I'M
wise policy hat will pile up debts and
increase the taxes hugely. The Atlanta
Journal in it's issue of the eth instant,
says this. and we think it does nc
overstate the conditions:
THE south in both house of con-
gress, in her press, in the masses of her
people, is overwhelmingly against the
scheme to make this a subjugating and
imperialist nation. The conservatism
for which this section is famous was
never more distinctly or more nobly
demonstrated"

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY IL, 1899.
sALMAGUNDI.

We saw the other day a very de-
predatory reference to Macaulay's his
tory in a southern daily. That SO
masterful a writer, who gave such a
new and enhancing direction to the
historic method and treatment should
be derided and dispraised is rather
remarkable. Everybody knows OF the
wonderful terseness, clarity, directness
and vigor of the style Of t g history,
18th now and then a splendid pas
sage reminding one of those magnif-
cent descriptions that glorify and color
his charming essays. Sainte BeuVe
was the hrst t write history some
thing in the manner of the eloquent
Englishman, not to devote all the
work to what kings did and battles,
but to write of the people, their habits,
surroundings, pleasures and sorrows.
Macaulay not only deserves richly to
live in his brilliant historic torso, but
in his speeches, that are so remark
able IOT perfect luClulLy duu luiiucSo,
and his many essays that are as de-
Iightful reading as Montague or Ad-
olson or Carlyle or any other master.
His poetry fails now to be read and
estimated correctly. He was not of
a very high order, but in his chosen
field he displayed an inspiration and
form and technique hat showed his
mastery, and furnished for all time
poetry to charm and animate. He at
tempted to produce in English "some
such fine republican lays as might have
been sung by the peasant heroes Of
ancient Rome" This effect was sue
c~essful, and was accomplished by genu-
inc art, with splendid fire, spirit and
vigor. "He showed himself to be not
merely a master of all the strength and
muscular power of our early language,
but also intimately penetrated by the
spirit of antiquity and the rugged in
dependence Of old Rome"

Are you acquainted with Tom Hood,
the poet. You may know Hood, the
humorist, but you should know the
poet, the man Of sorrows who wrote
so much inspired verse, and who so
well deserves to be known as well to
this generation as he was to his OWL
He lived a something sad and unfor-
tunate life, with now and then a bright
thrill of music and a CLEAN of blessed
sunshine of hope to cheer him, and
then the end came and the beautiful
mind was inactive, and the skilled
hand was never again to strike the
minstrel's harp and the voice of in
spiration was to be forever silent in
the world of song and joy We have for
some time purposed to write at length
of this neglected poet, who so ex-
quisitely blended humor with pa
thos, and whose saddened soul was in
deed a very fountain of inspiration
There is no voice like his among the
living poets.
