freedom, feel that they must be Repub-
Iieang. are IN my opinion very much
mistaken, My father raised cOmpa
nv and was its Captsin in the civil war,
MANY of my relatives were in the
ranks, and General Benjamin Butler,
who discovered the legal means to free
the slaves by calling them contra
hand of war," was a rot distant cOu-
ain: go l have reason to feel proud of
their enthusiasm in what they cOnsid-
cred a good cause.
I regard the work Of such men as
only half, however, in the great move
ment that freed four millions OF people
from an unrighte0ug bondage. And l
think that my Negro friends will agree
with me. You know the Southern
States were not the only ones that had
threatened to secede. Some Of the Nor
theru States had at times grown ''spun-
KY" and said that they would leave
the Union If certain things did not 90
their way. They were manufacturing
districts instead of agricultural, as the
South was, and commercial reasons did
bring things their way, 50 they were
never driven to the point of secession
as the South was.
This was the question Of the war.
The right to secede, to leave the union.
1t had never been tested. The act of
secession brought on the civil war.
Was it one government or cOnfedera-
tiOn Of states? It needed two partie to
settle the question Snd these two par
ties were the Federalists, Father Abra-
hams party, and the COnfederates. AS
war measure the slaves were freed,
and simply as a war measure to weaken
the South; however strongly some pee
pie felt about slavery as a moral ques-
ton, emancipation would never have
come unless by the Southern slave
owners themselves, except for the con-
test over the right of states TO secede
from the Union. It was an accident
almost as men are concerned, that the
slaves were freed.
1t was as though two small boys were
playing marbles until one became dis
satisfied and said that he was going
home; the other said that he must not
90 until the game was finished and in
the fight that ensued, 8 pony that be-
lOnged to the Dissatisfied one WAS set
Tree, and sent scampering off by him
self.
That pony would be very foolish and
unreasOning if, from that time, he
pinned his faith 10 the boy who had
set him free, simply in order to be
mean to the other boy. Father AbTa-
nam never wanted to be unnecessarily
severe toward anybody. He loved all,
olack and white, North and South, but
Ne ielt, that the Union must be pre-
served and the slaves were freed as one
means toward it. He did not intend,
however, 30 give all Negroes the right
10 vote, but recommended that the
most intelligent be given this privilege.
The moral is this:-Be free indeed.

Diplomacy a Fine Art.

Diplomacy is a fine art. and in its sue
cessful practice much depends upon the
observation of social conventions. Some
of the most successful diplomats seem
to spend the most of their time at din
ners and parties, apparently doing
nothing but enjoying themselves, but in
reality serving well their countries. In
truth, the reputation Of a country at a
foreign court. and oftimes it's welfare In
important issues, depends largely upon
the social abilities of its minister, for
the man who is popular socially is very
likely to drive a better bargain than his

sumed fourteen. He runs after them
and as he catches them devours them,
