GENERAL GoRDoN's LECTURE.
| The lecture delivered by Gen. Jno
b. Gordon on the Last Days of the
| Confederacy" was in the nature of a
camp fire talk rather than an instruc-
tive lecture. Many of the Generals
stories were witty and must have been
particular entertaining to the cd sol.
diers present. His nicely balanced
|'eulogies, first of Union and then of a
Confederate general were skillfully
handled. The lecture took we'll, and
was amusing, but we do not feel that
anyone could have derived much bene.
fit or information therefrom. Many of
the stories which the general told, we're
old timers, Which have been told at
every reunion for the past third Of a
century. The editor of the REVIEW
comes from old fashioned abolition
stock aud while willing to honor the
personal bravery of the men and gen
erals of the South, we cannot forget
that they were wrong, and that the
final sum OF what they fought for, was
simply the right to hold human beings
in the bonds of slavery. They may all
have been Christian gentlemen but we
fail to appreciate Christianity which
sanctioned human slavery.

We would recommend Bro. Caswell
to the Denison Normal college, where
he can obtain thorough education in
some of the elementary branches in
which he Is deficient. He might learn
learn how to spell '.cholerc'' and the
meaning of ''juxtaposilion" and many
other things which would give him
sufficient knowledge to begin Journal
istic career. Above all, if someone
could teach him how to behave like
gentleman it would not be amiss. One
would think Mr.. Romans could have
gotten a better man for the money.

A SPOKANE
MYSTERY

tina; seems no nearer solution than
when Il happened last Saturday
night. Is taking the attention OF the
police department.
About 1880 o'clock on that night.
sid whlppie. a switchman working
in the Northern Pacific yards. was
running a string Of eabooses down
the side track near the carshops at
the east end OF the yards Above
the rumble OF the wheels ne thought
that he heard some one calling for
help. but he put it dewn FOR imag-
lnatlon until the cars came 10 a
standstll and he stepped 10 the
ground. Then he heard distinctly the
voice Of a man perhaps 100 yards
away in the darkness.
Murder. murder" shneked the
stranger in the gloom.
The switchman waited for a mo-
ment, but heard nothing more. Call
ing to his partner. Gus Downing. he
mounted an engine that was close at
hand. and the two switchmen rode
down through the yards In the di-
rcction whence the sound had come.
\ man was running away towards
the east across the hills at that point
but although they searched carefully
for a possible victim. the quest was
fruitless.
whipple Is positive that the voice
was calling murder. ana that fact.
together with the fleeing figure that
was seen going over the hills, gives
color TO the belief that foul play IL
not accomplished was at least In
tended.
