THE AMERICAN SECTION.

The President knew of course before
he visited the Charleston Exposition
that the South was more American
than any other section-that is, that
there was much less of the foreign ele-
ment than in other parts of the Union
but it seems that he did not understand
how genuinely American the South is
until he made his visit. In his speech
at Chester. S. c., on his return to
Washington, he said: 81 think / was
pretty good American when 1 came
down, but 1 am better American as
l leave your borders" One thing
which the President had in mind when
he made that remark was of course
that the intense attachment of the peo-
pie he had met to the country had so
impressed him that he had become a
better American. Another thing was
that he had come in contact with a
population that was composed almost
wholly of the descendants of those who
occupied the land in the days of the
Revolution. In the other portions of
the Union there is a very large ele-
tncuI VI lOtSlSnSIS anu ueSCeHudIilS
of those who came to the country in
comparatively recent years.
That the South was more American
than the North showed itself during
the Civil War. In the course of his
testimony before the Senate Commit
tee on Military Affairs on Friday, Gen.
Schofield expressed the opinion that
during that war the Southern system
of selecting officers was far better
than that of the North. He said: "The
Confederates, during the Civil War,
were a great deal wiser than we We're
in that respect. They were better SOL
diers and better educated and knew
more about it. They carried off the
greater portion of the best blood that
we had to tell the truth, and they or
ganlzed their army scientifically
These remarks of Gen. Schofield are
in harmony with the remark made by
the President on his return from the
Charleston Exposition. Gen. Scho-
field said that in the Civil War the
South carried off the greater proper
ton of the best blood. She was able
to do that because nearly the whole
of her population was American. The
President was more American after
visiting the South because he had come
into contact with a people so COM
nletely American

SOUTHERN MEMORIAL DAY.

The reunion of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans, soon to assemble at Dali
las, Tex, will consider an important
and interesting memorial from the
Ladies' Memorial Association of New
Orleans, proposing June as the date
for Memorial Day in the South. to be
observed in all the states that form
ed the Southern Confederacy. At
present there is no uniformity in the
celebration of Memorial Day. Lou
isiaua leads off first with the obserg-
ance of April 6. the anniversary of
the battle of Shiloh. Then follow
Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Mis-
sissippi with the observance of April
26. North Carolina and South Caro-
lima decorate the graves of their Con-
federate dead on May 10. Tennessee
observes May 9. The other Southern
states have no fixed dates for Mem
orial Day. In the states having fixed
dates Memorial Day has been made a
legal holiday by legislative enactment.
And in addition to Memorial Day, the
states of Georgia, Florida and Ala
day. On that date jefferson Davis,
the first and only President of the
Confederacy. was born.
The Ladies' Confederate Memorial
Association of New Orleans proposes
the change of Memorial Day to June
in honor of Jefferson Davis. There
may be special significance attached
to dates selected by the several states,
but 1t is argued that all special rea-
sons might be consolidated into one
general reason justifying the selection
of the birthday of President Davis. In
his personality he represented all that
the Confederacy ever was; all that it
hoped to be. He was the axis around
which revolved all the mighty events
of those epoch-making times in the
sixties. The Louisiana ladies, who
have put their ideas into strong res
olutions to be submitted to the Dali
las reunion, say that the adoption of
June as Memorial Day would tend
to interest and instruct the children of
the South concerning Jefferson Davis
and through him with respect to the
rise and fall of the Southern Confed-
eracy.
To effect change of dates, as pro-
posed. it would be necessary to secure
legislative action in the several states,
but this could no doubt be brought
about without great deal of trouble
if the veterans and the various MEM
orial associations should express
themselves in favoF of the change.
June 8 would not be too late for flow
ers, but generally speaking the latter
part of April and the month of May
are the best season for blooms in the
South

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem)
says: 1.-The Democratic party has al
ways been party of expansion. But
where it has carried the flag it has
carried the constitution along. 1t is
not at all probable that there would
have been any outbreak against the
establishment of American sway in
the Philippines if the governing races
in those islands had been made to un-
derstand that they would not be treat
ed differently from other alien popu-
lations brought under the sovereignty
of the United States"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: Cecil Rhodes strong
point in his school days was theology.
He won six prizes in that study when
in the fitting school for Oxford. This
early penchant for divinity may ac-
count for the great mans remarkable
scheme for consolidating the English
speaking race by founding a secret So
ciety modelled after the Jesuits. Such
a society," gradually absorbing the
wealth of the world was the key
to the situation. Its members were to
be the millionaires of both England
and America, and rich men all around
Anglo Saxondom were to endow it, in
their wills, with their worldly possess
sions, instead of leaving legacieS to
wretched, incapable relatives. No
doubt a Rhodes cult, led by Kipling
twanging a Tyre, will now arise to in
vest the secret society scheme with all
the attributes of genius. But there
will still be those who, unable to wor-
ship at the $20000-a-year shrine of
Matoppo, will regard it as the queerest
of fantasies. coming, as it did, from
the brain of one of the most practical
of men,"
The New York Journal of Commerce
Qnd) says: chairman Payne of the
Ways and Means Committee said that
the tax on bucket shops was to be re-
pealed because it did not seem worth
while to tax the little gamblers when
the great gamblers went free. As a
Joke this is not bad, but unfortunately
a remark on such a subject by a gem
tleman in Mr.. Payne's position is not
generally appreciated as a JOKE, and
to brand the business done on the ex-
changes as gambling is unjust and in
furious. There is a broad difference
between the exchange business and
the bucket shop business. The mere
fact that so great part of the business
of the country is done on the ex-
changes ought to entitle them to re-
spectful treatment. If it were not for
produce exchanges and boards of trade
all farmers would have to be their own
capitalists and carry their grain
through the winter themselves, or sell
in the fall at very low prices to men
who would sell in the spring to con-
sumers at very high prices. The finan-
cial business of the country could not
be carried on without stock exchanges"

He Had The Cnrd.

District Attorney Jerome and his
family, says the New York letter of
the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, are meet
ing with experiences in adjusting
themselves to conditions surrounding
their new home in the tenement dis
trict of the East Side.
They have a Japanese servant who
has served on a man-of-war and knows
how things should be done.
The bell rang last night. A sporty
looking gent" stood on the porch. The
Japanese bowed and said, Your pleas
ure. STRIP
ME pleasure, John? 1 wants to see
William Travers. See? And 1 wants
to see him sudden. See?"
"Will you give me your card?"
Me card, me boy; what's de wrin-
kle?"
ITO get in here it is necessary to
send in card"
rs dat so? Well, hand Willie dat. +"
He reached into his pocket, took out
an ace of spades, and handed it to
the servant. The latter bowed, shut
and locked the door and disappeared.
In a minute he was back; in two min
utes the gentleman from Poverty Hol-
low was smoking one of Mr.. Jerome's
cigars, with his feet on Mr.. Jerome's
sofa.
The japanese has received distinct in
structions: No cards required over
here.

Neither Fear Nor Favor.

A tactful refusal is sometimes hard
to compass; yet mo- may contain
a spicier SAVIOR than many an assent,
says the Youths Companion. There is
a story of Archbishop Whately, who
was walking in a London city park
one day with a curate and Charles Lee
yer, the novelist.
The archbishop was greatly interest
ed in mushrooms, and he picked one
and ate a piece of it, at the same time
handing a bit to the curate.
What do you think of that, Mr..
APP he asked.
The curate did not especially like it,
and moreover he was not sure whether
it could be safely eaten. Nevertheless,
this was his superior in Office, man
who must not be offended.
II think, my lord" said he, obse-
quiously, 'if it had a little pepper and
salt it wouldN be delicious"
Here, Lever" said the archbishop,
you taste it and see what you think
of it,
Many thanks. your grace" said
Lever, calmly, but I am not a cler-
gyman. 1t is true that 1 have a brother
in holy orders, but he is not in your
grace's diocese
The archbishop laughed. better pleas
ed with this cleverness of evasion than
by a dull acquiescence, and ate the
mushroom himself

"Handy Andy"

Andrew Carnegie off his train because
he had no business there, has Just been
advised by Mr.. Carnegie that he will
make him the recipient of $40 per
month, as long as he lives. .....

long time ago;
l wish that l had gone to school where
Andy used to go;
I wish that we had played some prank
to make the teacher mad;
1 wish that he had walloped us-oh,
how l wish he had.
If these few things had happened when
dear Andy was a kid,
l know that he would pension me, to
let me know they did.
I wish that had been around when
Andy was a beau;
l wish l could have seen his courtship
ripen long ago;
If had been a clergyman, and

Perhaps he would have called me in to
tie the marriage knot.
The fee that Andy paid was small, but
after many years
1 know he would have found me out
and chased away my cares.

few years since a desperate murderer
in the Michigan penitentiary one night
took advantage Of his keepers and at
tackled and succeeded in killing two of
them before he could be subdued and
returned to his cell. Thus he had
three murders charged up against him,
but since he was in the prison under
sentence for life, there was no provi-
sion in law by which he could be pun
ished for the two murders which he
committed in prison. There are four
states, Michigan, Rhode Island, Maine

A large express wamon drawn by a
pair of grays was moving along Devon
shire street at a pretty good rate of
speed in the direction of Summer
street, says the Boston journal. Just
after the team had crossed Milk street
the nigh horse slipped and fell under
the off horse. The wagon piled upon
the pair, but the off horse managed to
hold his footing, standing on three legs.
The fourth leg was held high up d.
rectly over the fallen horse, and to let
it down was to injure the fallen ami
NAL. No one seemed to realize this
more than the off horse itself, and
there is no doubt that it exerted it.
self to the utmost in doing so.
Suddenly the off horse lost his ball
ance. but it made no attempt to save
itself by putting down the fourth leg.
Over it went and fell with a deaden-
ing thud to the pavement. The pair
lay on the pavement for few min
utes while the harness was being I'M
hitched, and then they were allowed
to gain their feet, none the worse for
the experience. A large crowd wit
messed the affair and on every side
were heard comments on the intelli-
gent act of the off horse.

Knew the source of His support.

Speaking of campaign receptions,
says the Nashville Banner, we are re-
minded of an election held in Con-
federate company during the Civil
War. A rather egotistic member de-
cided to run for a lieutenancy which
was vacant. This member, whom we
will call Dick. went to his mess-mate,
whom we will call Jack,
and asked his help in
the election. Jack promised to work
for his friend and assured him that
he could be elected. When the bal
lots were counted Dick found that he
had received only one vote, his Oppo-
rent receiving all the other votes. In
dignant over such a defeat Dick APP
preached Jack and exclaimed: II
thought you were my friend and you
promised to electioneer for me!'

your friend and I did my level best
to elect you. But the boys who prom
Used me that they would vote for you

There is no reason why Mr.. Bryan
should not be the fusion candidate for
Governor of Nebraska. If he should
be he would come much nearer to be-
ing elected than when he was can
didate for President. He is popular in
Nebraska.
1t is the understanding among DEM
ocrats of New York that it is practi-
cally settled that he will lead the flu
sionists of his state next fall in the
campaign for Governor. But, If he
should be elected, would he aspire to
the Democratic nomination for Pres
ident? There is no reason for thinking
that he harbors hope of being pres
idential candidate a third time in sue
cession.
There will be great deal of specu-
lation as to his purpose in accepting
a gubernatorial nomination. His enc
mics will no doubt say that he is TAX
ing that course to secure the presiden-
tial nomination again. But they will
hardly believe what they say. Mr..
Bryan knows that he would not be a
strong presidential candidate unless
the political situation in 1904 should
be very different from what it is now.
But Mr.. Bryan may be aiming to
be the power behind the throne. He
may be seeking a position from which
he can practically dictate the ticket
and the platform. If he were to be
elected Governor of Nebraska by very
large majority he would be a promi-
nent and influential leader of the Dem
ocratic party in 1904. He would have
following that it would not be wise
to ignore.
But he will not be a candidate for
the nomination. He has virtually said
as much. He understands better than
his enemies that his party will not
look to him to lead it in the next ma
tional contest. 1t is certain, however,
that he intends the country to know
that he is on deck while the campaign
is in progress.

jury duty. AS a rule they are among
the wealthiest and best educated eiti-
zens. They want all the privilege of
citizens but do not wish to perform
any of the duties required of citizens.
They seem to think their wealth ex-
empts them from burdens which citi-
zenship imposes. And yet they are the
the loudest when there is a miscar-
riage of justice or incompetent men are
elected to the offices.
In future this class of New York
ers will punish themselves if they
neglect to register. By the time they
have been caught on long drawn out
murder cases two or three times they
win be willing to become voters and
take their chances with other citizens
of being called upon to perform such
duties as the law imposes upon citi-
zens.
If this law should work satisfactorily
in New York it is probable that it will
be enacted in other states. In all of
the states it is a difficult matter to get
the right sort Of men for jurors. The
great majority of those who are best
qualified for jury duty manage to
avoid it, Just how they do it is not
always known. 1t is certain that in
future, in New York, the man who
tries to get rid of that duty by not
registering will find himself an almost
perpetual Juror.
