A FRIEND OF THE SOUTH.

The present generation in the south is
not as fully aware as 1t should be of the
immense service which was done to this
section in the time of it's sorest need by
the late Z. L. Godkin. as editor of the
New York Evening Post and The Nation.
No man did more than he to arouse the
conscience OF the north TO a sense Of the
wrong that was being perpetrated upon
the south by the carpet bag and scala
wag governments.
Mr.. Godkin's exposures OF the corrup-
ton and outrages that were practiced
under the reconstruction regime had a
powerful effect toward the restoration of
honest government In the southern states.
He denounced bayonet rule in the south
with a courage and eloquence which were
unsurpassed By any of the defenders of
constitutional government in those dark
days.
He helped nightly in the promotion of
other great reforms. notably that in the
civil service. He was one of the most
valiant defenders Of sound currency when
greenbackism first ard free silver later
seemed about 10 sweep the country and
nobody did more than he to beat down
those follies. There was much in HIS
life for which he should be held in great
and lasting honor. but the south should
hold his memory In especial and undying
gratitude because when she needed
