SATURDAY EVENING. JAN. 8. 1901.

THAT ALL Southern democrats are
not gushers and do not profess love
surprising that of women. for their con-
querors, is proved by speech made by
Mr.. Williams, OF Mississippi, in the U.
8. House Of Representatives yesterday,
evening on the resolution to restrict
Southern representation. He said
"Of recent years some of the people
ofthe South had listened to the siren
voice OF the North, that sectionailsm
was dead. Those people had been
warned that as soon as the republican
party grew strong enough 1t would
show the cloyen foot. IL was doing so
now. It was the party OF the black
m IN 10 the South. and the enemy OF the
white mans civilization. This resolu-
ton would pluck from the eyes of those
who had been partially deceived, the
veil that had been placed over them"
No body, not even Northern republi'
cans, hes any respect for gushers, and
1t Is proyerblal that those who iDfiict
Injuries, not those who receive them,
are the most inveterste, implacable and
malignant baters.

IMPERIALIsM, like all other evil con-
dltions, tbrives under immunity. The
President last week refused to comply
with the Senate's demand for ipforma
ton concerning frauds of government
officials 10 Cuba, and that refusal having
been received by the people OF the coun-
try as right and proper. he now refuses
to supply required information In re-
gard to apprehended trouble with Ven
ezuels, about q contract to which rival
Northern companies are parties. The
assigned reason for both the refnsals
is that to comply with them would be
prejudicial to the interests Of the coun-
try. But that could not be II it were
sufficient.

sus committee, from which 1t will never
emerge, 10 the U. s. House OF Repre-

In the Gazette OF that date, shows that

He wants Southern support for some oil
Mr.. Hanns's pet schemes, and knew
that the resolution would naturally re-
pei such support. But it Ia no less true,
that the fact that almost the entire

bers to become their fellow citizsns.

Now that Mr.. Ellyson has withdrawn
from the contest for the democratic gu
bernatorial nomination. the contestants
therefor have been practically reduced
to two, Congressman Swanson and At

from intelligence from different parts
of the State, and from talk among Vir-

the expressions in favor OF the former
by the two q. 8. Senators and ma

without power to make the change as

nothing more than promise TO make ap-
plication for a change as soon as the
steamer should reach Baltimore on to-
morrow morning. It was learned that
passengers on board the steamer were
quite indignant over the matter, as the

MEMORIAL BRIDGE.-The Washing.
ton correspondents OF the Richmond
News says: Opposition to the proposed
memorial bridge is gradually disap.
pearing. That the present session of
Congress will authorize the consiruc-
ton Of the great span seems more than
probable. Senator'S Martin and Daniel
are at present giving the project their
almost undivided attention, and are
being assisted by Mr.. Frank Hume, Of
Alexandria county. The only OPPOSE
ton to the construction of the bridge ia
certain corpore zion of real estate men
who own large interests in property
situated 10 Maryland and northwest OF
Washington. They claim that If the
bridge is erected 1t will do much
to build up Virginia across the river, to
the detriment Of their property. They
seem to have had some infiueace as
the measure has been from time to time
delayed. 1t has been urged In oppose
ton to the erection of the great struc-
ture that 1t was simply scheme of
Mr.. Frank Hume and others to en-
nance the value OF certain property. It
has been learned upon investigation,
however, that Mr.. Hume ia not inter-
ested from personal point OF view and
will be the least affected of any of the
property owners OF Alexandria county.
Senators Daniel and Martin are push
ing the enterprise from purely senti-
mental and patriotic point of view.
The members OF the Senate all AGREE
that bridge Of this nature should
beautify the national capital and serve
as fitting memorial of the unity OF
the North and South. 1t is now
thought that the necessary appropfia-
tions will be made later in the session.

Union soldiers; and there will be more
need of our organization in the future
than there has been in the past or than

standing by each other in order to OBJ
tain their just rights from this govern
ment. which they served so faith
fully"
