WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAN. %. 1902

REPRESENTATIVE RIxEY is quoted as
saving that be will press bis bill for the
admission OF old Confederstss to the
soldiers homes OF the national govern
mept. regardless OF its unpopulsrity, sat-
isfied that be is right. There are,perhsps,
q few persons in the South who will agree
with Theoretically not many. The
following from the Mobile Register
can be accepted as the view OF most
every uoan who wore the gray;
Mr.. Rixey, of Virginia, may say that
until southerners take proper care Of
the old Coniederstes they let their
pride, rather than their reason. dictate
when they reject his proposition 70
have Confederate veterans adm t.ed 70
the national homes for soldiers. Looked
atwlth the unimpassioDed mind, the
nositIon of the Virginia member 10 seen
TO be logically correct; but, We ask, VINO
of the south can 30 look at ilY MOI
even the Confederate veterans them
selves would regard it favorably. Ihey
would rather have the crust from the
hands OF southerners than feast every
day in homes that were erected prl'
marily for the reception OF northern
veterans. sit is not all to hve," says
the poet. Food and shelter are not
everything to man who has had the
spirit of American independence In
stiIled into him. he will gratefully
accent the dole from his own people,
even though 1t be but niggardly gwen
He will not appeal to those upon whose
charity he has no AIM
Mr.. Rlxey means well, and his &C.
lion in this matter should not cost him
the friendship or good opinion OF one
man In the State or In the South. The
proposition, however, is an unpopular
one. and it has been said So bluDder is
worse than q crime.n The war was
started foIty.one years ago and was
supposed to have ceased in 1866. That
such is not the case finds expressive
evidence 10 the one hundred and forty
million dollar pension bill which passed
the lower house OF Congress last week
The people of the South receive but
little of this immense sum OF money,
and want none, II to procure any por-
ton of it Is conditioned that they must
"bsnd the pregnant hinges of the knee
that thrift may follow tawning." No,
they want no mixed soldiers homes,
spy more than mixed schools; both
ideas are abhorent, not only to the old
southern veteran but to his descend
ants also. II the national government
wishes to do tsrdy justice to the south
ern people and assist the old "Confed,
let those who control its affairs turn
over to the southern States the amounts
received from the ssle Of abandoned
property, the money for which is now
in the federal treasury, and the South
will look after its needy worthy veter-
ans. Governments like individuals
should be just before being generous,
and southern people desire nothing II
doled out to them In the name OF char
ity. The "eushers" only make the
people OF the South ridiculous in the
opinion of the North and West, add
nothing to their own peace OF mind
and almost cause self.oontempt.

THE MEXICAN EARTHQUAKE.

Il hAANAAAOANN @NANNN - - = -
The earthquake shock felt in Guer-
zero and adj AGENT Mexican S.ateslsst
week seems to have been attended by q
larger loss OF life than any event of the
same kind in that part Of the world for
long time. Mexico Ia peculiarly sub
ject to such disturbances. Almost ex-
actly two years ago she experienced
one that was felt ell over the republic.
Water pipes were broken, railways in
terrupted and the walls OF gres. build.
logs badly cracked, and yet few persons
were killed. While, on the other hand,
the mortality in and near Chilpsncingo
la t week was appalling, the vibration
did not seriously disturb the national
capital, only three hundred miles to
the northward. 1t was felt there but
did little damage.
The coincidence between the earth
quake 10 Guerrero and fresh eruption
at Colims lie only one of many already
on record. Another recent instance
was that afforded by Italy In the sum-
mer OF 1899. Etna developed special
activity and Rome was slightly shaken
at almos, the same instant. It has been
noticed that volcanic action sometimes
precedes and sometimes follows an
earthquake. In the former case, it is
believed, the presence of water in the
lava leads to q terrific explosion, and the
tremors which are felt many miles away
result from that phenomenon.
When the order is reversed different
explanation Is offered. Many eaIth
quskes, no doubt, are due to q read
iustment 10 badly crumpled rock ttrsti,
like those of mountains, made necessary
by shrinkage or other forces 1T work
there. Possibly one part of the cru't
will sink and another rise. A number
OF narrow assures are usually produced,
and II one OF them should occur in =
neighboring volcano lava which might
net otherwise be able to escape will
be liberated and an ERUPTION of mod
crate violence ensue. CJlima, like the
city OF Chilpanciogo. Is near t1e Pa
cific coast of Mexico, but some three
hundred miles away. The distance OF
the provincial capital OF Guerrero from
toe volcano and the awful force OF the
shock st the former render it probable
t1at the earthquake came FIRST on tlis
occasion. New York Tribune.

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Impressions of Holiday

1T Is slrange," remarked n promi-
nent citizen to the Wayfarer several
days ago, 'how a holiday impresses the
large majority of persons as being sun

psrience OF a friend. a prominent
churchman, which occurred on Thanks
giving Day and which bore olt his
statement.
His friend he said, on Thanksgiving
Day morning went to church, and in
fact proceeded to pass the day, as was
his usual custom on Sunday. In the
afternoon with his wife. he started out
Tor a stroll and walked over in Brandy
wine village. While saunterlng out
Market street. he noticed several men
lat work on the roof OF church. This
appeared to him very unusual and
stopping a passerby he asked:
"Why are those men working on that
church on Sunday"
The man who had been accosted
caught on at once. and decided to
keep up the joke.
why" he answered, they are prob
ably members of the church. who work
every day and as the church needs re-
pairs have decided to do the work
themselves today to save expense.
This explanation of the probable
cause Of the men working on what he
thought was Sunday made the church
man indignant

actions should be suppressed by the po-
lice. why" he said. III people com
