impossible a strong white mans
republican party in states to the
sun-ward of Mason and Dixon's
line and will accentuate more
sharply even then now or in the
past the fact that the republican
party in the south is the party of

hardened the soft spots, His only
chance at US now is through re-

Southern democracy is safe.
Truly Mr.. Roosevelt has blun-
dered. BY one act he has shown
his contempt for the people of the
south, has laid bare the small
regard he and his whole party
have for the policy of civil service;
and has sharply rebuked men who
seemingly were his faithful SER
wants. Yes, lie has blundered

ROOsevelt's Blunder.

The removal OF Julian Bingham,
republican, from a federal office
in Alabama by President Roose-
velt, because Mr.. Bingham, like
certain other white republicans
in Alabama, barred negro mem
bers of the party from participa-
tion in the transactions of it's state
convention, has been announced
and with the announcement comes
frank confession Of the reasons
that induced Mr.. Roosevelt to
swing the political axe. The rea-
sons were officially expressed by
Postmaster General Payne, who
said:
"The change in the Office of col
lector of internal revenue for the
district of Alabama in no wise re-
fleets upon the integrity or ability
of Mr.. Bingham, the incumbent
of the Office. Ii is one of those
things which occasionally happens
in politics. The position taken
by the republicans of the north is
looked upon as perversion OF the
fundamental principles of the re-
publican party aud Mr.. Bingham
is in a measure held responsible
for THAT action; hence the change.
Neither the admi nistration nor
the republican party of the north
will stand for the exclusion of any
section of our people by reason of
their race or color when In other
respects such persons have COM
piled with the laws and are eligible
for participation in political
affairs and the action of the re-
publican state convention referred
to in arbitrarily excluding them is
not approved any more than such
action would be approved if it
were taken in Ohio or Indiana"
OF course, to those republicans
who are Lilly White and wish
to remain so, who, whether from
unselfish desires to further the iu-
terests of their party, or from in
centives of personal betterment,
refuse to be placed upon politi-
cal equality which Mr.. A. Lin
coin created by his proclamation of
emancipation, the removal OF Mr..
Bingham must be indeed sore
trial Of the flesh: but to those who
"love to see the engineer hsist by
| his own petard'' it has humor-
GUS side.
/ But coming as it does, upon the
eve of Mr.. Roosevelt's S advent into
the south, the incident is of more
moment and worthy of more atten-
ton and thought than it might
otherwise be.
| It is, of course, like his famous
feeding with the Alabama profess
sor, an indication that he considers
himself upon an equality with the
negro; the co-victualing being smy.
bolic of the social, the cutting
down of the lily being significant
of the political party which the
wayward lad upon the presidential
stool wishes for himself and at
tempts to force upon his would-be
! followers in the south. 1t is ar
, act which will not only chill the
ardor of his henchmen, but t.
some extent close the open hand ol
hospitality extended him by tht
entire people Of Dixie, republican
end democratic. It will utterly

Director Rowland Has Found

the part taken by the Mississippi
troops in the battles of Buena
Vista and Mont, rey during the
Mexican War, il, The handwriting
Of Col. Jefferson Davis, who COM
manded the First Mississippi
Regiment on both those memorable
occasions, as we'll as the reports
of Col. Davis officers, were found
today by the director among the
States archieves. Few more in
terestlng historical documents
lave been unearthed.
Col. Davis thus describes the
famous V-shaped formation which
contributed so largely to the fate
of the day:
"The Mississippi regiment was
filed to the right and fronted in
line across the plain. The Indi-
ana regiment was formed on the
bank of the ravine, in advance of
our right flank, by which a re-
entering angle was presented to
the enemy. Whilst this prepara-
tion was being made, Sergeant
Major Miller of our regiment was
sent to Capt. Sherman for one or
more pieces of artillery from his
battery.
"The enemy, who was now
soon to be body of richly capari-
soned lancers, came forward rapid
ly and in beautiful order, the files
and ranks so closed as to look like
solid mass of men and horses.
Perfect silence and the greatest
steadiness prevailed in both lines
of our troops as they stood at
shouldered arms waiting the at
tack. Confident of success, and
anxious to obtain the full advan-
tage of a cross fire at short dis
tance, | repeatedly called to the
men not to shoot.
GAS the enemy approached his
speed regularly diminished until
when within 80 or 80 yards he
had drawn up to walk and seem
ed about to halt. A few rifles
fired without orders and both
lines poured in volley so destruc.
tive that the mass yielded to the
blow and the survivors fled. Capt.
Sherman having come mp with 8
few field pieces from his battery,
followed their retreat with very
effective fire until they had fled
beyond the range Of his guns"
| At the battle of Monterey the
Mississippians acquitted them
selves with equal distinction. II

| tions Col. Davis thus refers to tn,
heroism of the late Col. A. K
McClung who was the first Of the
