INTERESTED OPPOSITION d.

In the opposition to the acqui-
sition of territory, either perma-
nently Or temporarily, there have
been no more violent papers than
the Times Democrat and Picayune.
In the main, this opposition has
been of the popular brand, that
pitched on the high moral plane of
"duty to man, " Equality" etc.
However, in a recent editorial,
the Picayune urges the early
abandonment of Cuba to her own
devjces-permitting ''the Cubans
to settle their own problems and
difficulties in their own way
concluding as follows:
''The annexation of Cuba would be a
serious blow to Louisiana's prosperity;
hence it is to be hoped that the pres
ent Federal administration will not be
afforded an opportunity to help the an
nexationist program. The annexation
of Porto Rico and the Philippines is
bad enough, and the probable purchase
of the Danish West Indies will be
further drawback to the domestic sugar
industry; but all these stabs would be
as nothing compared with the annexa-
ton of Cuba. 1t is to Louisiana's
interest that Cuban indepen-
dence be recognized as soon as possible,
and that all attempts to bring about
the political union of the island with
this country be stopped"
This is the real milk in the
Louisiana cocoanut. Like the
tariff, imperialism, in the Peli-
can State, is purely local issue.

to, wouId in time become a Sena-
tor from Ohio.
With the Democratic party, and
its candidate, We conceive the pos
sibilities to be far different So
thoroughly has the party become
identified with its candidate, that
the success of Democracy will
mean merely the triumph OF
Organism. Whether or not he
could, during four years as presi
dent, SO impress his individuality
upon the party us to make his in
fluence permanent, is another
question. If he should, then the
Chicago declaration will have in
deed inaugurated u new era in the
life of the party, and sounded the
death knell of the Populist and
the two or three other parties
whose tenets the Democracy has
already swallowed, and will have,
by that time, thoroughly assimi-
lated. Different parties exist only
so long as they stand for differ
ent principles; If Democracy and
continue to represent
the same thing, the latter party
will simply die natural death.
If, on the other hand, Mr.. |
Bryan be defeated, we believe |
this election will permanently re-
tire him from leadership, and
mark the beginning of the party's
return to its old faith, the
'epudiation Of its recent heresies.

The Picayune has received the fol-
lowing:
Lafayette, La, Oct. 26, 1900.
Editor Picayune: l have in hand a
recently issued history entitled, "Story
of the Great Republic, "by II. A. Guer-
Der, and on page PSI l find the follow
ing statement made in reference to
General Robert E. Lee: "He then
set good example for all his men by
applying for pardon from the United
States government. Never before have
l seen this statement, nor have l ever
heard of General Lees applying for
pardon" and while admiring the gem
eral fairness and impartiality of the
author, seriously doubt the truthful
ness OF this statement, for reasons evil
dent to any true Southerner. Would
you kindly answer the question, Did
Lee ever apply for pardon? The old
vets here don't believe it, and / am
sure such statement, If untrue, should
be authoritatively contradicted. Very
truly, r. C. GREIG.
General Lee never asked for a par
don. He surrendered his army and
himself at Appomattox, on the 9th of
April, 1866, on parole, with liberty to
return home and not to take up arms
until duly exchanged.
General Lee lived under that pro-
vision, and, although there was talk of
arresting and bringing him to trial
for treason, he was never interfered
with. On July 4, 1868, President An
drew johnson issued proclamation
giving amnesty and exemption from
prosecution for treason to all Confed-
crates not already under Indictment.
This included General Lee. On the
25th, Of December, Of 1868, President
johnson issued q proclamation Of am
nesty and pardon, which included
President Davis and all other Confed-
crates then living. General Lee never
asked for pardon or any other indul- |
gence at the hands of the Federal gov
ernment, and, until he died, neld him
self ready to meet any fate that his |
leadership of the Southern armies |
might bring upon him. He passed |
away on the 18th of October, 1870, free
from any moral stain and one of the
noblest and most heroic characters
ever known in any age.-Picayune.
At this late day, inaccuracy of
statement touching the history of
tbe' Civil War, and matters arising
from it, may be expected when
made by men trusting to memory
lone; but 1t IS InexcusabIe in a
'aper of the Picayune's standing,
specially when made so emphatic
) is the above, and in answer to a
oeciic question. a
The Greenville times., 1900-11-03

Before the Times shall have ap
peared again, the question which
for the past few months, has
troubled the minds of people anC
politicians will have been put t(
rest.
| Tuesday will mark the close oi
one of the hardest fought cam
lpaigns through which the country
has ever passed. Devoid of any
snch feeling of sectional or party
bitterness and excitement as has
made memorable one or two presi-
dental contests in the past, the
present one has yet possessed
enough unique features to entitle
it to no little consideration at the
hands of future political historians.
In the immediate results ensuing
upon the election of either candi-
date, the people at large have but
little real, personal concern. In
its private affairs the great mass
Of the population is but little af-
fected by a presidential election.
1t is hazarding little to say that
Mr.. Bryan, personally, and the
Democracy, as political organ
ism, existing as the exponent of
certain definite political and econ
mic tenets, are, above all lnen and
parties, the most profoundly in
terested IN the outcome.
Whether the Republican party
win or lose will amount to but lit
tie in the sum total of its effect
upon the future of that party, as
a political entiGy. Four years
hence, in any event. it will
again enter the contest, upon such
lines as snall seem at the time
to give best promise of sue
cess. During the intervening
period the party leadership will,
in all probability, remain where it
is at present lodged. Mr.. Nc
Kinley as president, is and will
'e merely the mouthpiece of a
organization; as a de- (,
eated candidate, he, If he cared s

"THE COLLEGE IN POLITICS,

In lengthy and labored editor
ial, under the above title, the
es-Democrat seeks to show
that the numerous endowments
bestowed upon American institu-
tions of learning, by American
millionaires, are made with the
primary purpose of attempting
the debauchment of public opin-
ion, by injecting into the body
polite an element educated at
these schools. We quote the fol-
lowing:
"The present campaign has been
fruitful in developments of every sort.
OF these signs Of the time, by far the
most sinister is the spirit Of intolerance
and i'll breeding which has been dis
played by the undergraduates of more
than one Of the Northern seats of learn
ing. At Ithaca, for example, there was
given very disagreeable illustration
of the manners and habits of thought
which the teaching of Cornell Univer-
sity breeds. The leader of one of the
great parties in the state, the spokes-
man of more than six millions of Amer
leans, was fouted as If he had been
some pothouse politician. The Incl
dent is but one of many in the recent
educational annals of this country.
'"The matter might be suffered to
pass without especial comment, if there
we're good reason to believe that the
heckling of the Democratic candidate
vas the mere expression of rude health
md boisterous animal spirits; but, as a
The Greenville times., 1900-11-03

matter Of fact, the weight OF evidence
ia IN favor of the supposition that there
"a a vast deal OF fire beneath TINS
smolxe. II can hardly have escapeu
general observation that the multimll-
lionaires have used portion OF their
over0rown wealth TO endow these col
leges and universities with sums wnlcn
are far beyond their present or pros
pectiye needs. To the layman, these
bloated endowments have presented
themselyes as efforts to choke free
thought in its cradle. Whatever .he
intention, the result is too plain ior
serious discussion.
American millionaires have a
great deal to answer for, no
doubt; they may have committed
some crimes, and have certainly
been charged with many; but IL
has renamed for this home-sugar'
and-domestic-rlce anti-imperlallsm
organ to lay at their feet an at
tempt so dastardly, so diabollc IN
it's ingeniusness, as that OF De-
slowing millions of money upon
colleges throughout the length
and breadth OF the land, in an eff
fort "to choke free thought in its
CRADLE"
This is indeed an appalling sug-
gestlon.
We had supposed these mon
stels too shrewd to patt with their
ilIgotten coin in furthering their
nefarious plot in a manner so cir
cuitous. According to excellent
authority, both Republican and
Democratic, this country is full OF
votes that are going to be pur-
chased on election day; and we
should imagine the polls to be the
place where such money, properly
expended, would yield the great :
est return. There Stree thought"
could be "choked' at q few dol
lars per choke, and million would
go ever SO much further than if
donated to a school.
During this campaign the
Times Democrat has hurled some
charges at the money
oarons, and urged some cogent
arguments against ''imperiallsm,"
out this brilliant gem is easily the
best 1T has produced.

We understand that the railroad

We understand that the railroad
commission were in Greenville
this week, and that scarcely com
plant was made to them about in
efficient railroad service. Whether
this was due to lack of sufficient
notice of the commissions pres
ence, or to the ordinary every.
man--for. himself -and-the Devil
take-the-hindmost method which
characterizes the usual conduct of
such matters in Greenville, we
are not sure. We suppose, how
ever, that it is explaiRable on the
latter ground. Were it not Tor
the people in tie country, who are
inconvenienced by its miserable
service; and its employees, who
are compelled to do extra work
and overt time, by its failure to
supply sufficient rolling stock and
crews to handle it's business; and
the general public, who have to
travel in its third-class coaches at
first-class prices, and over it's
rotten ties, the Times would have
never another woru to say about
the Southern Railroad. For its
officials, superior and subordinate,
we have only the kindliest person
al feeling. And, In all sincerity,
nothing would afford US greater
pleasure than to be able to chron-
icle the fact that the road had put
its bed in good shape. from Wi
mona west, had put on sufficient
cars and crews to handle its busl-
ness expedltiously, without sub.
Jecting its patrons to unreasonable
annoyances and delays, and had
generally overhauled its Western
end. Some day we hope to be
able to say all this, and not strain
ourselves; but, if we do, it will not
be because of any interest that
Greenville exhibits in the matter. |

The way Of better passenger or
freight facilities, or better SER

A LAME CoNoLusIoN.

The negro seems at last to hav
broken into "literature." Wit
Booker +. Washington indulgins
in autobiography, and forecast
ing, through the medium of I
book, the future of his race il
America; with Paul Laurenc,
Dunbar, producing some excellent
verse, and Charles w. Chestnut
doing some pretty good work in
the way of "color line" sketches,
we are assured by the New Eng
land critics that the negro race is
proving itself capable of worthy
achievements in this field. Mr..
Howells, particularly, is delighted
with this "proof' of ability of the
higher order, this confrmatory
evidence that the negro is merely
an "undeveloped,' not an ''in-
ferior" race.
A combination of Spanish and
Indian produces the mestizo, who.
while combining some of the
mental and physical cbaracteris-
tics of both parents, belongs, eth
nolOgically speaking, properly to
the race Of neither. The inter-
mixture of white and negro blood.
in equal, or nearly equal, proper
tions, gives us the mulatto; in the
the treatment of whom, socially
and ethnically a wide divergence
must be observed. Universal Gus
tom assigns this product, socially,
to the negro race; its manifesto
ion of superior mental capacity,
sporadic or persistent, cannot, by |
my accepted law, be received as
evidence of brain development up
IN the part of the race of its negro
)rogenitor.
In the case of ninety-fve per
.ent., practically all, of the So
,alled negroes, whose achieve
nents, even where they are most
ordinary, are constantly cited by
certain class in support Of the
heory of the dormant capacity of
he race, such an infusion of white
Hood will be found to exist as to
tterly destroy the value of the
vidence relied on. If, after the
lpse Of more than four thousand
ears of racial stagnatlon, Mr..
iowells and his school can take
ne of Dunbar's songs, or Chest
utt's tales, or Fred Douglass
peeches, and upon it successfully
stablish the accuracy of a conten-
on never yet passed beyond the
.rictly theoretical stage, then
ley will have accomplished that
hich will rank among the great
st scientific achievements of the
snturY.

Mr.. Lincoln, on December 8, 1863,
Issued the first proclamation Of
amnesty. Among those classes
specially excepted from its pro-
visions were ''all those who left
judicial stations, or seats in Con-
gress, OF the armv or navy OF the
United States, to take part in the
rebellion" After Johnson's sue
cession to the presidency, he also
issued an amnesty proclamation.
1t was published May 20, 1865,
and was less liberal In its terms
than Mr.. Lincoln's; excepting all
those classes embraced IN his, and
adding others to the prescribed
list. 1t was provided therein that
persons in the excepted classes
might make application to the ex-
ecutive ''for pardon" it being
promised that ''such clemency
would be literally extended as
might be consistent with the peace
and dignity of the United States"
In 1855 General Lee wrote Cen
eral Beauregard a letter in which
this passage occurs:
"After the surrender of the Southern
armies in April, the revolution in the
opinions and feelings of the people
seemed so complete, and the return of
the Southern States into the Union of
all the States SO inevitable, that it be-
came, in my opinion, the duty of every
citizen, the contest being virtually
ended, to cease opposition and place
himself in a position to serve his
country. | therefore, upon the pro-
mitigation of the proclamation Of Pres
ident johnson of the Goth of May, which |
indicated his policy in the restoration
Of peace, determined to comply with
its requirements, and applied on the
18th of June to be embraced within its
provisions.
We have not space here to re-
view his further reasons for adopt
ing this course. 1t was the wise,
The patriotic course for HIM to
pursue, situated as he was.
Regarding the terms of John
sons proclamation, for the extern
sion of its benefits to the excepted
classes, to say that General Lee
did not make application for par
lon'' when he applied on the 18th
II June to be embraced within its
)rovisions," is tu quibble over
words.
Mr.. Davis died without making
application to the Federal govern
nent for the benefits of Its various
acts and proclamatlons. In I
his he also pursued an eminently {
roper and dignifed course. No !
ust comparison can be instituted t
'etween the respective positions {
f General Lee and Mr.. Davis. s
While the former was enjoying q
he confidence and esteem of his q
ountrymen, and engaged in the |
ischarge of the useful and honor I
