By What Right.

Republican imperialistic, war;
yearning, blood-thirsting and
territorial grabbing newspapers
yesterday displayed pictures of
Abraham Lincoln and extoled
the virtues of that great and good
statesman. But by what right?
They do not stand for what Lin
coin stood for. They proclaim
principles which Lincoln utterly
desplsed and which he most scath-
ingly and eloquently denounced,
not once. but many times. He
believed in freedom; his Republi-
can extolers now believe in slav-
cry, in harems: in subjecting
unwilling people to political
servitude. He said that no man
was good enough to govern an
other man without the mans
consent. He said that under
just God a government which
sought to govern people without
their consent would perish from
the earth. 1t was his unli..ie1i.ns
devotion to this principle that
won him the love and affection
OF a justice-ioying people every
where. His party then sustained
him in this principle. That was
only few years ago. Now there
is a change. The Republican
party has drIfted far away from
the ideals of the martyred presi-
dent. 1t believes that it is good
enough to govern other people
without their consent, and it is
engaged in inn e.iaiistic schemes
that threaten the very founda-
>tlon OF the republic which Lin
coin 50 much loXed. ct the
republican press and the repub-
lican orators have the amaz
gall to profess reverence for the
man whose life record they
blaspheme.
Ii Lincoln could to-day rise
from the tomb and behold the
fawning hypocrites in their show
of devotion he wogld spurn their
hollow pretenses and say. '.Go
you traitors to justice. lou in
suit me and my good name. =

RHEA, OF KNOXVILLE.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 27-Dr. X.
NJ. Rhea has returned from the New
Orleans reunion, bringing with him
the old battlefisg of the $50 Tennessee
regiment, which was captured by the
18th New Hampshire regiment at Pc
tersburg, Va, June II, 1864. The
flag was turned over to Governor John
ston OF Alabama by Governor Rollings
Of New Hampshire in September, 1900,
under belief that the flag belonged to
some Alsbama regiment. After per-
sistent work by Captain Frank A.
Moses of this city he became convinced
that the flag was the one he carried in
the war for the esd. He so wrote
both governors and the flag was sent TO
New Orleans and there turned over to
General George W. Gordon, command
ing the department Of Tennessee. He
turned It over to DR.. Rhea to be
brought here and turned over to En-
sign Frank Moses. When the flag wa'
captured five lines Of the enemy
charged the single line of the SD. II
is a significant fact that DR.. Rhes, tc
whom the flag was given, though only
sergeant, surrendered the regiment
at Appomattox The flag may be turn
ed over to Fred Ault Camp Of this
city. 1t was at Petersburg on the day
the flag was captured that Fred Ault,
the man for whom the local camp was
named, was killed in the trenches.
