Guerilla Warfare.

Elsewhere we reproduce an article from
the Montgomery Advertiser, in which
reference is made to late discussion
between the Petersburg Index-Appeal and
The Times Dispatch on the quest ton
whether or not General Lees men, instead
of surrendering at Appomatto1. could
have made their way 70 the mountains
and corred~ on guerilla warfare. Our
Montgomery contemporary agrees with
The Times Dispatch that this would have
been possible, and says that history
records a number OF Instances where such
desnltory war has been prolonged almost
indefinitely. The Advertiser refers to the
Maroon war In Jamaica and to the Seven
Years War OF the Seminole Indians as
cases in point. 1t might also have cited
the wonderful career Of Colonel John S..
Mosby and his men. For more than two
years they operated IN a compare lively
smal! territory. doing splendid work for
the coniederafes and making the most
daring and successful raids Yet with all
their vigorous efforts, The FederaIs were
unable To capture this gallant band, and
It continued In active service until the
last.

France Is After Liberia

American and British philanthroptsts-
that is to say. those whose whole stock
OF philanthropy is kept in store and on
tap for the so-calied ''doHntrodden"
negro, particularly those alleged to be
l"downtrodden'' in the southern part Of
the United States-have for years been
watching with marked interest the pros
have sought to make that country a re-
public, to be governed exclusively by
negroes native and imported, mostly im-
ported from this country. In Liberia they
expected to prove, and still believe they
can prove. the negro's capacity for self
government.
A recent census shows that there are
now in Liberia about 1900 American me-
groes, and 1t is claimed that they have
done well and are proving that the negro
capable OF doing great things along the
lines Of twentieth century civilization.
These English and American philan-
thropists have just been thrown into a
fever Of excitement over the news which
Sir Harry Johnston, a we'll known trav-
eler and the former British consul-general
for the Uganda protectorate, brings to
London direct from Liberia. He says
there is no longer any doubt that France
is trying to secure. as the result OF a
boundary dispute Of long standing, large
slice Of the Liberian republic.
Sir Harry vehemently declares that
no justification whatever, can be shown
for such procedure. other than the
right OF might and the total inability
of Liberia TO resist by force any French
aggression. He says the people OF Liberia.
especially the 1900 American negroes,
among whom are the principal Liherian
leaders. are in state OF unrest and ex-y
element over this contemplated French
movement. and he agrees with them that
the United States and England ought to
speak word TO France and make her
call halt on this. her latest land grab
hing scheme, and he mildly appeals to
the philanthropists above mentioned TO
see TO 1t that these countries do that
thing.
The negro seems destined, no matter
where he goes TO maks trouble for the
white folks.

sible and disagreeable task. In addition.
Captain Woods has set good example

be his duty and his task to see that the
Commemorative case is properly con-
Quoted; that the Commonwealth as well
as the accused shall have fair trial;
that the Jury shall have evory possible
opportunity Of ascertatning the facts. and
after the evidence is all In, 1t will be his
duty and his task to present the Com
monwealth's case fairly and conscleen-
ticusly to the jury. Captain Woods may
be counted upon to do all these things
and in so doing he will have performed
valuable public service. Nor can we see
any sufficient reason why he should not
receive fair compensation for the SEA
vices rendered.
