A Goodbye.


Lucy Scott Bower, in Frank Leslie
Popular Monthly.
The waves Of music, swelling high,
Reached Heavens gate;
We sat and listened, you and l,
With souls that followed to the sky
And would not wait.
We heard the tale the waters tell
When high waves beat;
We saw the light that never fell
On land and sea, and marked 1t well
At Muslc's feet.
We listened with united heart,
Responsive sigh,
And then hush; and with start
We wake to find that we must part.
Goodbye, goodbye.

Baton Rouge Advocated

Baton Rouge Advocated .
The impolicy of holding these
Blue and Gray reunions was again
demonstrated by the incident
which occurred at Atlanta last
week when Gen. Gordon felt call
ed upon to take issue with Com
mander Shaw of the G. A. r. be-
cause of certain statements in his
address which seemed to reflect
upon Southern people who taught
their children to revere the record
made by their fathers in the late
war. While a spirit of good will
and fraternity throughout the
length and breadth of the country
is greatly to be desired by every
good citizen, yet these conditions
can never be bought about by
tamping upon the feelings of one
great section of the country and
demanding that they acquiesce
in the theory that their fathers
were traitors and that the cause
for which they shed their blood
and gave their lives was infamous.
The Southern man or woman who
would be willing to purchase fra
ternity at such cost would not be
worthy the confidence or respect
OF brave and chivalous men, and
his name would be held in ignomi-
ny among all right thinking peo-
pie both at the North and South.
Many OF the most glorious pages
IN the history of the human race
were written with the blood of the
soldiers Of the Confederacy, while
the names of Davis and Lee and
jackson will forever shine in the
goodly company Of the heroes,
martyrs and sages of all time who
have staked their sacred lives and
their fortunes upon q principle
and gone down in defeat without
90 much as q stain or q smutch
upon their records. When the
children the South forget thit then
will they have indeed become de-
generate scions of worthy sires,
and Gen. Gordon deserves the
applause Of every true American
citizen for combating and refut-
ing the ignoble suggestion.

UDELL'S SUGGESTION.
A Californian Would Have the FiIipinos
boycott United States Trade Vessels
and Force Independence.

San Francisco, April 10.-The most
gigantic boycott in the history of the
world is suggested by Alva Udell, of
Stockton, Cal, as an instrument to
force the United States to recognize
the independence of the Philippine is
lands. The movement contemplates
Filipino boycott of the United States
AN absolute boycott enforced by a
secret order in the Philippines, that
has, it is asserted, 100000 members
and can be made to embrace every
man in the archipelago who produces
a pound of anything available for ex-
port or consumes pound of anything
available only by import. Trade with
other countries is to be encouraged,
if this remarkable scheme is carried
out, but the commercial field in the
prolific islands is to be absolutely
barred to the United States. This
boycott is to be, ere long, held as a
club to force the United States to con-
sent to the adoption of the Philippine
constitution, already referred to.

DEFENDS THE cANTEEN.
Chaplain Pierce SAYS It's Substitution Has
Resulted In improvement In the
SObriety of Troops.

Washington, April 1O.-A defense of
the administra ton of affairs at Manila
is contained in a report just made to
the war department by Chaplain c. C.
Pierce. This officer particularly an
tagonizes the eX-chaplain of volun-
teers who has been so severely criti-
cising the morals of the American
troops in the Philippines, making the
charge of wholesale intoxication and
telling of the enormous increase in the
number of liquor drinking saloons in
Manila. The chaplain declares that
the figures as to the number of sa-
looms have been overrated; that the
American saloon took the place of an
untold number of native gin shacks
which dispensed liquid poison with
deplorable effect on the American
troops and that the substitution of the
regimental canteen has resulted in an
improvement in the sobriety of the
troops. Chaplain Pierce also speaks
in terms of praise of the reformation
of the critical conditions in Manila
resulting in general improvement in
Health.

MAKING A. STILL HUNT.


Washington, April 10.-The war de-
partment is making still hunt for
Aguinaldo. The department, how
ever, has not money enough at the
command of its secret service to lay
hands on the cunning head of the
Filipino rebellion. So elusive has
Aguinaldo been that one of the war
department officials said that it would
not be very surprising if Aguinaldo
should be discovered one of these fine
mornings in a silk hat and other
things to match parading the streets
of London or Paris. The war depart
ment officials affected some time ago
the opinion that it would be rather
an embarrass ment of riches to catch
Aguinaldo. If he disappeared forever,
they said, it would be a good radiance.
There is, however, some talk now to
the effect that the insurrection may
break out afresh with troublesome
vigor after the next rainy season. and
that it would be the best possible
thing to have Aguinaldo in close con-
finement.

WANTS TAYLOR TO QUIT.
Republican Newspaper at LOnisville Sees
No Hope lisa the Gubernatorial Con-
test-No HonOrs Fight For

Louisville, KY, April 1O.-The Louis
Vile News, strong republican organ,
comes out in an editorial calling on
w. S. Taylor to step down and out
This editorial in part is as follows:
The court of appeals is composed of
four democrats and three republicans
six of these judges have agreed that the
court has no right to question the act OF
the legislature in declaring Goebel gov
ernor Mr.. Burelle alone dissenting. NO
matter how wrong this judgment may be,
in the opinion of the News this closes
the case for the republicans. The con-
test committees, the legislature. Judge
Field of the lower court and the court
of last resort in this state have all de-
cided against Taylor. He is no longer
governor. He occupies the statehouse
by the sheer force of arms, supported by
the militia, which must be paid out of
his own pocket. He has no authority
Thera are no honors left to fight for and
no emoluments that can come to him. He
simply sets himself up as a target for his
enemies. His position is untenable. 1t
reflects upon his good sense and puts
a burden upon the party.

HANDSOME SPECIAL TRAIN

gramme OF the Western Trip.

Washington, April 1O.-The Chicago
reception committee, consisting of w.
q. Conkey and j. NJ. Glenn. had a
dnal interview with Admiral Dewey
tuesday. No mention was made of
politics, the admirals only allusion
TO the matter being that since he
had accepted the invitation to visit
Chicago last October conditions had
20 changed that he was accepting no
turther invitations. He assured the
committee that he was glad to ac-
eept the hospitality of the city of
Chicago. He requested that there be
90 separate entertainments for him
self and Mrs. Dewey. He wished
matters to be SO arranged that she
could attend all the functions at
which he would be present.
The admiral's party will leave this
city in special train over the Balti-
reach Chicago and rest before the
ball at the Auditorium on the night
Of the 3Oth, the eve of the second
anniversary of Manila bay. The
train will be one of the hand
soonest ever run over the Baltimore
& Ohio tracks. Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey will occupy President Governs
private car. No stops will be made
between Washington and Chicago, as
the admiral does not wish the trip
to have the appearance of a stump
| ing tour. After leaving Chicago,
however, the party will take a IL
day tour through the Mississippi
| valley. So far as outlined, this will
include a stop of one day at Jack
| sonville, ILL.,; two days in st. Louis;
two in Memphis; two in Louisville;
two in Nashville and one in Frank.
