Historical "Reminiscences.

To the Editor OF The Post.
Lay, Texas, June 1O.-An article in q
recent issue of The Post recounting an
interview with the last George d. Prentice
at Louisville, Ky, during the civil war,
recalls to memory a series Of historical
events in whien Prentice was an import
ant factor at the beginnil & OF that memoir
able conflict. The writer was one OF the
enrolling clerks for the Kentucky house
of representatives, at the time when that
State passed the armed neutrality act.
My brother law, General John Rodman
Of Frankfort, and eX-Secretary OF the
Treasury John &. Carlisle representing
Kenton county IN the legislature, being
the acknowledged leaders of the Union
forces in that body, and it is a well known
fact by all who took cognizance OF the
shifting scenes OF that eventful period
that but for the powerful influence held by
Prentice and his paper, Cne LoulsVnle
journal, the legislature would have as
as that the sun shines which act would I'M
douetedly have caused the map of our
country TO line up differently.
The governor, Beriah Magoffin, was a
strong Southern sympathizer, as was also
Vice President John C. Breckenridge, ST.
mon Bolivar Buckner, Blanton Duncan
and other leaders of that day and gen.
Grafton. George d. Prentice only had two
sons CORTLAND and Clarence, both of
whom enlisted in the Confederate army.
Courtland was with Morgan and killed at
| Augusta. Ky. Clarence was a member Of
the staff Of General Breckenridge, after
wards colonel OF one OF Morgans regi-
ments, while the courtly Colonel Benham,
brother of Mrs, George D. Prentice, was
chief of staff to the lamented Cleburne,
One other point OF history that l was
! eli mi lob
versation with one of the leading politi-
Gals of Texas, a short time ago, was that
so few were aware that all of Mrs. Lin
coins brothers were officers in the Con-
federate service Mrs. Robert s. Todd
Mrs Lincoln's mother, and her four daugh-
ters were in the South all during the war
| was frequent visitor before the war at
Mrs. Robert s. Todd's residence, FIVE
miles from Frankfort KY, and we'll knew
the Southern feeling of every member of
that noted family. Miss Emma Todd mar
ried General Ben Hardin Helm, who is in
command Of the famous Kentucky brigade
and was killed at Cbickamauga. Misses
De and Kittie Todd married at Selma
Ala, the one TO DR.. White, the other to
Colonel Dawson. Dave Todd commanded
Castle Thunder at Richmond Va Aleck,
the younger brother, was killed at Baton
Rouge. Mrs. Helm was appointed post
mistress at Elizabethtown. Ky, by Presi-
dent Cleveland during his first term, and
was left undisturbed, owing to her kin
ship to Mrs. Lincoln until Mark Hanna
had pet who relieved her shortly after
Mckinley came upon the board.
These old historical "reminiscences are
sometimes very good things to place be-
fore the rising generation, especially as
the present revised school histories are not
In any manner disposed to give the South
ner just need OF praise. r. L. Russell.

The Philadelphia Times expresses the
hope that there may never be anything
worse between the United States and Cam
ada than boundary line dispute. All
good citizens will Join the Times in this
nut 1t would be far better II all little
seeming differences were settled
1t is best to avoid even the appearance
OF evil. 1t is quite certain that in 3 very
short time at leass the Alaskan boundary
line misunderstanding win be removed
from the category Of foreign complica-
tons. Whatever The tNo commissions may
agree upon their action must be settled
ultimately BY two-thirds vote of the
United States senate. That the matter
VIII not be fully and hnally settled with
ont our Interests in the matter being prop
erly cared FOR seems to be sure. Senator
Fairbanks Of Indiana is now on his way
to Alaska to make personal examination

The Post is glad to motto that the
American export trade is on the Increase.
and to know that our manufactured ar
ticles and mineral wealth is finding ready
buyers all over the world.
That this condition exists there is no
doubt. Mr. j. A. Langdon, president of
the British Institute of Mining Engineers
says that the industrial competition OF
our country with his Is growing yearly.
and the facts which he himself attess

Germ. for an Englishman is great stickler
for bis country. Twenty FIVE years ago
the British Islands supplied the world
with so per cent of its coal. Today It
only supplies 80 per cent. When Great
Britain furnished so per cent OF the coal
used in the world the United States only
furnished Is per cent OF that supply. Now
our country furnishes 30 per ceut OF the
worlds consumption. the same per cent
that England does. the other 40 per cent
being divided among other countries. The
competition of American goods and pro-
ducts with those of the mother country
is Increasing proportionately and will
constantly extend as our manufacturing
enterprises develop.
America is already a great manufactur-
ing country, but in this she is yet in her
infancy. English railroads are using our
engines and steel rails. and her streams
are being spanned by our bridges. The
supply of coal in America is practically
endless. and her iron ore bids the world
to apply at our doors for all it needs. Iron
and steel are produced in America today
cheaper than any country ever produced
them before, and OF better quality than is
made by any nation under the sun. And
one Of the best features OF 1t all is, that
our own Southland has the greater part
OF this iron, big per cent OF the coal
