The Cape Girardeau Democrat. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1876-1909, 1899-05-20

The adoption of this resolution and
the report which accompanied it pre-
cipitated a debate which yerged on the
sensational, and at times much confu-
sion prevailed.
Report of Committee on History.
Gen. Stephen d. Lee, presented the
report of the committee on history,
which was unanimously adopted. This
was one of the most important mat
tiers before the convention, and the
reading of the report was listened to
with close attention. The report al
ludes to the war with Spain as a factor
in celebrating the shadows of the war
between the states, and refers to h
prompt response of the southern states
t o the call for troops as showing to the
whole country the depth and fervor OF
southern patriotism. Continuing, the
report says:
Spirit of the American Soldier.
president Mckinley displayed the
spirit of the American soldier when
he chose from his former foes the gall
liant Wheeler. the steadfast Fitzhugh
| Lee, the chivalrous Butler n many
others of our own brave comrades to
marshal the hosts of the MO we
are glad that Gen. Wheeler had anoth.
err opportunity to exhibit the fighting
qualities of the confederate soldier,
and that Lieut.. Hobson, Lieut.. Victor
| Blue and Lieut.. Worth Bagley in the
navy showed the country of what stuff
our young men are made.
Blood of North and South
Once more the blood of north and
south has been poured out together
no longer beneath contending stand
ards in the bitterness of wal between
the states, but now beneath n flag
to the glory of one country. These
dead. at least, belong to us all. The
last hateful memory that could divide
our country is buried with them.
About their graves kneels a new ma
ton, loving all her children every
where the same"
Abiding to the question of confed-
crate graves the report says:
The Presidents Generous Words.
The recent generous words of Pres
ident Mckinley commencing the con-
federate dead to the nations care, are
the expressions of a sentiment grow
ing everywhere, that the deeds of the
confederate soldier arethe glory of the
whole country, and that his memory
is worthy to be cherished wherever
self-sacrifice commands sympathy, or
brave actions strike a responsive chord
in noble hearts,
The Race Question.
The committee also alludes to the
race question, and expresses the opin-
ion that 1.-The race problem is not apt
in the future to be so binding to a
true apprehension of southern his
tory" and says:
The recent movement to put the SUI
of the more educated and
capable race upon a constitutional and
legal basis, thus banishing the specter
of misrule from our borders is steadily
gaining progress"
The convention adjourned sina die
at 2:15 p. m.
W. ]. Colquit, of Atlanta, was elect
ed cosnmander-in-chief of the Sons OF
Confederate Veterans. His only oppo-
nent was Robert Z. Lee, of Virginia.

THE UNIONS FRIEND.
Aichnrd Golden Was m Ardent Ad-
mirer OF Lincoln and His
Policy.

No man in England felt a keener in
terest in the American question than
did Richard Golden. He made no secret
OF his sympathy with the union. He
h"o A""h l.! constant correspondence
with MIR. iinroin,a and felt ft:r the many
Slded American rrtri0t the deepest af-
feciion. Both were engaged in a ma
tlonal and far-reaching struggle. and
defeat i'll America meant another CEN
tury OF tory domination in Great Brit
ain, writes James NJ. Scovel in Lippin-
colts.
by sea-coal fire, late in q Novem-
ber night, Mr.. Golden gave me his opin-
ion of Abraham Lincoln. "This CEN
tury has produced no man like Lin
coin. Here is man who has risen
from manual labor to the presidency
OF a great people. To me he seems to
be the man God has raised up to give
courage and enthusiasm TO a people
unused to the arts of war, fighting
what seems to me to be doubtful bat
tie in the greatest conflict of modern
times.
Il like Mr.. Lincoln's intense vener-
alton for what is true and good. His
conscience and his heart are ruled by
his reason.
u speak of your struggle as doubt
ful, because Mr.. Lincoln will have more
to contend against in the hostility of
foreign powers than in the shattered
and scattered resources of the confed
eracy."
Mr.. Golden predicted the triumph of
our arms. but he died before he had
more than Pisgah view of the prom
ised land.

THE OTHER STORY.
Revelation Made by the Discovery Of
the Indian Picture OF Cutters
Massacre.

In Ainslee's Magazine is a very inter-
esting account Of some recent discov-
cred picture writing by an Indian who
took part in the celebrated Custer mas
*acre. The pictures are noticeable 10 r,
being the work of Sioux chief who
was II prominent actor in the conflict.
The original pictures measured very
nearly two feet at each dimension. The
first of the two represents the Sioux
i'll their contest with Custer and his
men. The PROSTATE forms of white
men are scattered across the base OF
the drawing. In the right upper cor
ner a soldier is seen falling from his
horse to the ground. Directly under
meath the characteristic fighting pos
tuTe Of the Indian on horseback is de-
picted.
Notable features in the picture are
the bugles which are seen toward the
left lower corner. Only q mind of com.
prehensive power could recall such
petty details in q scene of such excite.
ment and carnage.
The other illustration pictures the
dead Sioux after the battle. The differ.
entiation of the figures in their apparel
and adornment is not without signifi.
canoe. 1t is to be supposed that by this
means an intelligent Sioux could fix the
identity of the slain. The weapons are
placed just beyond the grasp of the sev.
eral figures. 1t is not an inadequate ex.
preston of the powerlessness of the
dead.
