Buffalo. \. Y, Oct 1G.-Seven train
loads OF John Alexander DOwie's
restoration host. bound for New York,
arrived here and after spending a few
hours at Niagara Falls, resumed their
pilgrimage 10 New York. Six of the
trains carried about 1000 Zionsts.
and the seventh was the prophets spe-
cial train. Each OF the six trains was
in charge Of 40 Zion City guards.
It had been announced that DR..
Dowie would hold a meeting in Pros
pect Park upon his arrival at the
Falls. Several local preachers called
upon Assistant superintendent Perry
and lodged a complaint against the
use of the public park for missionary
work by the Zionists. When Dr.
Dowie's lieutenants asked for permits
sion to erect a stand their request was
refused. DR.. Dowie, when informed.
sent them back with a message for the
assistant superintendent. stating that
he had no intention to violate the law.
and that he merely wished to hold a
short song and prayer service in the
park and incidentally have the meet
ing photographed. Mr.. Perry granted
the permit to that extent.

EDuCATIoN MEMORIAL.

EDUCATION MEMORIAL.
The Rock River Conference OF the
Methodist church, recently in session
at Aurora, III, has adopted a me
mortal to Congress urgingit topass
law authorizing the government to
take charge Of and educate the color
ed people of the South. This organ
ization suggests that the government
should take charge of these people
as it has the Indians, and make them
wards OF the nation.
It is rather difficult to decide
whether the author oithe memorial ;
seeking the good Of thecolored people
or notoriety for himself. He admits
that there are difficulties in the way
that would render it impossible Tor
the government To carry out the
memorial. ii Congress we're 30 act
tavorably upon it. Therefore it looks
as il he is seeking notoriety by way
Of gratuitouS advertising.
But there is in the proposition an
implied charge that the South Is neg
lo,tinr the education Of the colored
chillr,n AID this charge is as Ut
true ~ the memorial is silly. There
j. no State. that We are aware OF. II
The South that does not furnish th
co,orei people with the same educa
nonal facilities that they do Tor TIN
white. IL may be that some State
a7e about t. departirom thisrnle' ou'
We are speaking now ofthepaSt.lnNlI'
cinia the colored children, ever sinc,

the whites. and it is no fault OF th'
State or the school authorities d
they have not prOhteu 10y lheih u
the same extent the whites have.
And il can De said to the credit OF tn
State that no difference has beer
made between the white and colore'
schools. either in buildings, schoo
terms or efficient teachers when tn
whites were furnishing nearly all tn
money for running the schools. -
let il be understood that the implied
charge in the memorial that the edu
cation of the colored children in tn
South is neglected any more than
the whites is absolutely untrue.

TO PRESERVE CoNFEDERATE
ROLLS.

Some time since Gov. Montague
sent out circulars TO different organ
nations OF Confederate veterans, AMI
10 individuals who served in the Con
federate army, informing them oithe
desire OF the War Department - OF
tain al records. rolls and rosters q
military organizations in the ScSV'ce,
that they might be copied. printed
and preserved in a permanent form
for future reference and thehistorian.
lie also requested that ali persons
should aid in procuring these decn-
ments, promising on the faith O.
the War Departments that they
should be returned To the owner OF
custodian after they were copied.
This is regarded as very important
matter to the Southern soldier. and
vet so far as We are informed hut lit
Sic notice has been taken ot the nee
ommendation, and il any rolls have
been sent forward We are not aware
of IL. The soldiers Oi the South
should interest themselves and Others
in complying with this request that
our records might be g. complete a.
possible. II il il not done by the
Government it will never he done at
all. and ii 1t is not done soon. it can
never be done.
The Northern soldiers are making
history on their side every day.
They are rearing monuments on
every battlefield that the Govern
ment has taken charge OF 10 pre-
serve, and these monuments are
deliberately inscribed. They are
writing books giving histories Of
corps. divisions, brigades, regiments
and companies OF their armies. They
are making and printing records OF
these several organizations. as well
as writing recollections OF the four
years struggle. All OF these are pre-
served and will 90 into history, ard
while most OF them are great exag-
gerations, they will be believed by
most of the succeeding generations.
The South is doing but little of this
kind OF work. There is likely not a
Southern State that has complete
roster OF the soldiers furnished the
Coniederacy. Some OF them started
in the last years Of the war, but made
poor Roadway and probably aban-
doned It. Since the war scarcely any
thing has been attempted In this d.
rection. Probably North Carolina
is ahead Of any other State, and yet
she is far from having her record
complete. II any effort has been
made in Virginia, it has probably /
been only an effort, aud nothing has
been accomplished. And now that
the Government has agreed TO pub I
lish and preserve the rolls if they can
be obtained. those having such docu-
ments should loan them to the De
partment to be copied. And il they
cannOt he furnished otherwise the
next Legislature should take some
steps to collect them and place them
at the Department that they may be
copied and returned to the party
furnishing them. 1t is worth all it
will cost the State to do the work.
