We could not cherish and revere the brave men
who fought for the preservation Of the Union as we
dosdid we not respect and admire those whom they
fought against We realize NOW that the South shed
it's blood for an idea not from wantonness or per-
versity The slave question is old as the history
of America; it formed the basis of two Of the great
compromises that made the federal. constitution
possible; time has proved that it was wrong, but the
right to own slaves was idea bred in the bone Of
half this country and had the Of the South not
been willing to lay down their lives in defence of
what they believed to be their right they would not
have been Americans.
But the war is long since and the word
Rebel forgotten we are people III a broader
sense than ever before. The South fought in a
mistaken cause: we know that now but we can still
honor the men who embraced it, and can prove to
them that we are great enough and God-like enough
to forgive. The deepest wound can be healed by
love tho deadly the hate that gave it, and if there
are any scars left on the other side of Mason and
Dicksons line the North willing to do what it can
to heal them.
By all means build national home for the ex-
confederate soldier. Show him magnanimity while
he lives and WREN he Joins his brethren in the great

No TRUE American, no lover of his country and
dreamer sof its future read the appeal made by
General Torrance commandment chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic. to his comrades on behalf Of
the ex-confederate soldiers without thrill Of JOY
and a Ie DeMz in his heart We predict that it
will be responded to, not only by the members Of
the G. A. r., but by all the people of this broad
land from the highest to the lowest It appeals to
the spirit of true patriotism and true Christianity
for human being never gets as close to his Maker
as when he becomes reconciled to his enemy. That
this call should have emanated from the G. A. r. is
most hopeful sign. "As we grow older, says Gen.
Torrance, tour hearts become more gentle and
tender, and next to the comrade who stood by our
side is the brave soldier who faced Fine. manly
words those.

How the knockers can chortle in their glee now
clergyman. temperance advocate, has appeared in
public under the influence of liquor and has con-
fessed that he drunk. Why it's the chance of a
lifetime for the peanut-headed man-haters. But the
more hberal-minded men and women-an and their
number includes, thank God the great majority of
the people of the United States-w regard the fall
from grace that occurred to the Rev Sam Small last
week more in the light of an accident than anything
else It was an unfortunate occurrence of course.
That is not to be denied. Unfortunate for Mr..
Smas personal reputation and for the cause he has
hitherto represented because hereafter the narrow
minded, the ones who have not yet been found out
and the who desire to see all mankind as low as
they themselves are will brand Mr. Small as an
habtual drunkard and the persons believing in total
abstinence as hypocrites.
And certain class will believe these things,
Notwithstanding the fact that everything tends to
show that the Georgia temperance advocate only
resorted to alcoholic stimulants after he was COM
pleey exhausted and in spite Of the fact that the
small amount taken produced such disastrous re-
suits almost conclusive evidence that the man was
not in the habit of drinking But even if he had
made practice of taking quart Of whisky day it
would have possible bearing on the principles of
prohibition would it reflect on the sincerity of
those who pin their faith to that doctrine.
Consistency is jewel all right, but SO is fair
play; and because a man meets with such an ac-
cident fell to Mr. Smalls lot at Brattleboro is no
reason to condemn him. On the contrary he ought
to become the more useful temperance worker in
consequence of it. He now knows at least one of
the pitfalls that beset the path of his fellow mortas
and this knowledge will probably bring him toera-
ton. At any rate, one must be without sin to cast
the first or last stone in this Casa condition donht
less enjoyed by Mr.. Smalls political opponents.

Mr.. Baitour a friend Of America.

MIR. Balfour has always liked America
and the Americans. He has always had
many friends among leading men in this
country, to whom he has extended
graceful hospitality in London. Ameri-
cans may feel sure that as premier he
will do nothing to disturb the cordial re-
~Iations that now exist between the two
countries. Mr.. Balfour has already Civ
en- pledge of that. Prior to the outbreak
of the Spanish war. he wa acting secre-
tary Of state for foreign affairs. the con-
dition of Lord S%alisbury's health COM
polling him to take a vacation in France.
1t was while MIR. Baliour was in charge
of the foreign Office that France and
Austria attempted to form a European
coalition against the United States, in
which the other powers of Europe stood
ready to join if Great Britain would also
become a member of the league. MIR.
Balfour, without hesitation, not only de-
| clined the offer, but, on the contrary,
let it be known that in case of hostile &C.
tion on the part of Europe, Great Bri.
tain would be found supporting the
United States. That ended the attempt
to form a coalition. Probably because
of his pro-Americanism, MI. Balfour wa:
at one time a strong bimetallist. From
a sketch of "The New British Premier

Monthly Review Of Reviews for August
