AN IMPORTANT REPORT.

The elaborate report of Judge
George l.. Christian, acting chairman
of the history committee of the Grand
Camp of Confederate Veterans, sub
mitted to the meeting held recently at
Staunton, Va, appeals particularly to
the men who wore the gray and their
faithful, worthy descendants. 1t will
be of interest to all truth-seekers and
truth-lovers wherever they may abide
the fullest discourses of the south's
right to seced we have seen except
in the books-in Bledsoes great book
for instance, Judge Christian intro
duces most copious evidence to sustain
his plea. He shows most c%onclusively
south by the north, and was not there
fore, it's making. 1t was a defensive
war. We connot now enter upon a
statement of the order of discussion
n the very abundant proofs offered.
We do think it possible for n IN
did mind to study the question in all
of it's fulness and bearings without
coming to the direct conclusion that
the south fought for cause and was
simple forced to defend itself against
the aggressions and outrages attempt
ed by the north. If the south had the
population and resorces of the north
there void never have been peace, and a
southern Co~nfederacy would today be
the ~grandest, wisest, most law-abid-
ing republic on the globe.
Judge Christian says that one of the
last talks of the late DIR. Hunter Nc
CURE the day before he was stricken
with the disease hat laid him low,
he said to him:
Il am already making preparation
FOR my next report. 1 intend in that
to vindicate the south from the Oft
repeated charge that we were the ag-
gress0rS in bringing on the war; And
'iabor of love for the dear southern
people" Within less than twenty
hours from the time that sentence was
spoken the splendid intellect that con-
ceiVed it was a mournful wreck, and
the tongue which ga~ it utterance
was paralyZed.
All imperfectly, as 1 know, the task
must be performed. L am going to at
tempt to show that your chairman was
right in saying that the south was not
the aggressor in bringing on the war
Judge Christians presentation fills
some eight or ten of the large columns
OF the Richmond Dispatch an unfalt-
ering friend of The south n the
faithful upbuilder of democratic prin-
ciples in Richmond.

TEDDY,s LOVE OF sAMBo.

Governor Roosevelt is well under
stood as to his character. He is a
yain-glorious boaster OF a DOR mill
tary record, a fsnorter on the strife,
and q ~blatheskite in politics generally.
But 1T has not been known that he Is
a fraud and decefveS as TO Ibis love for
the negro. He wants votes and negro
votes and he is playing for them He
declared that he is proud to have
his child set alongside a black n at
school. Does he feel equally proud to
invite into his pew at his church and
seat them with his wife and daughters?
Is he that sort of fellow? Does he
open his OWN doors to the negro on
social occasions or at his feaSS and Of
fetal entertainments? Is he that kind
OF humbug? Teddy has a record that
may make him popular with the ne
goea. but will not increase the favor
of the real white folks in New York
state or elsewhere. An appeal by a ne

tentfon that he had complied with the
law in providing a separate school for
colored students convenient to Mrs.
Cisco's home was unheld by the court
appeals in 1899. A special dispatch
from New York dity to h Baltimore
Sun state:
When Governor Roosevelt learned
that Senator Elsberg had introduced
this bill he insisted that it be amend
ed to pply to h entire state. The
governor declared that the laws of the
state should no longer tolerate race or
color distinctions, and that he was
glad to know his own child sat in
school with a negro child. When the
bull was amended it had the support of
h republican leaders throughout the
state, and it passed both houses with
out delay. The governor signed it a
week ago."
Teddy told a correspondent of the
Sun at Louisville that the facts are he
did sign the bill and gave his hearty
approval to it, and also ait one time. in
h Cove district school at Oyster Bay
one of his sons sat beside a colored boy
for a term. And that is Teddy. So
in New York state white and negro
children go to n same schools.

THE WISDOM OF A SAGE AND A

dn one of the letters of that
brightest of members OF the house
Of representatives. Hon. Champ Clark,
he quotes at length from an adj

United States supreme court, delivered
in February, 1899. at 6uffaio, New
York. 1t richly deserves to be most
widely read for it is a memorable state

ablest jurists of the highest iudicatory

Hghtened government based on the

the eminent jurist: He is one of the
abIest lawyers and most distinguished
republicans in the land. For years he
was on the bench of the supreme court
OF Kansas, he served a long time on
the bench of III United States circuit
court, he has for about a decade been
n member of the highest judicial tri-
>bunal in the world, and he is universal
ly regarded as one of the greatest of
Jul supreme court judges. Surely his
words ought to carry great weight
with them, the republicans
The discussion as pursued by Justice
Brewer was as follows:
First because we undertook the de-
2iverance OF the oppressed Cubans from
the domination OF Spain are We here
after to assume the duty of forcibly
e~mancipating all oppressed peoples:
were the circumstances surrounding
our interference in Cuban affairs such
as to make that simply an exception in
our history and policy?
Secondly, are We to extend u do

over remote territory and enter upo
that career of colonial expansion which
has become the settled habit of Euro
pean nations, or are we TO remain con
tent with our compact continental pos
sessions and devote our energies to the

BLOOD

We live by our blood, and
on it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re-
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood. This
is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food, to
keep the blood rich. When it
fails, take SCOTS emulsion of

body going again-man woman
