Mckinley AND THE GRAVES.

1HERE has been a marked tendency Oh the part Of tho populace and
press Of the south to shp over somewhat on accounto Of the recent utterances
at Atlanta Of President Mckinley regarding the care OF the graves Of the
Confederate dead being a national charge; and In swallowing this small
crumb Of comfort. we southernors have been prone to forget that It was but
a timely platitudc Of a plausible and notoriouly insincere politician, who,
being in the heart Of section he had abused to the utmost 10 his appoint
ments, felt 1t incumbent on himself to concede something; verbally, at least,
to the people whose quest he was. 3
Undoubtedly, 1T was a stroke Of policy worthy Of . Tanyrand. Nothing
is dearer to the hearts of soathernors than the graves and memories OF our
ha1owed and sacred dead. who fell for a most just cause. Accustomed as
we ire to naught but reyiHngs and bitterness and insults from those Of the
north concerning the Confederacy and its cherished memories; used to the
abuse Of the dead, who fell in it's defense, and injured to epithets concern
the manned living who served the battle-banners Of the south; caIoused
by waiting for a tardy recognition Of their civil rights even more than .
quarter Of a century after the war Of secession has ended. This utterance BY
hating section Of the country, came as gratefully as benson Or shower to
the parched earth.
But in the light OF events, has MI. Mckinley acted Ia accordance with
his potesatons Of friendship for the south? The test OF the sincerity OF q
public mans utterances upon a line Of policy, is his conduct In regard There's
to and unfortunately, the happy spoken sentiment Of the president are BY
no means supported by his course in office. He has exhibited the most
reckless disregard for the feelings of the people of the south; he has with
ruthless hand given violence to the most sacred prejndhes and ideas Of this
people,-and yet he applies a little soft soap and they exhulerantly forget
and forgive with loud acclaim and Kiss the hand that snites them.
Mckinley "does but skim the ulcerous places, whilst rank corruption
1idYlthip~ hafects unseen II the PRESIDENT is possessed Of such unbounded
admiration for the vaor of the southerners, surely his benevolent opinions
extend to those who suffered at home. the southern women. Yet there are

RETROSPECTIVE AND or THE PRESENT.

1HEIsE could be no greater recognition Of the growing strcnth Of Major
James X. Vardaman in his aspirations for the gubernatoral office than is
manifest in the well arranged attacks upon him and the venom Of these at

charged, with all the confidence Of a trained slanderer and cool assaulter Of
