"Lee and Longstreet at High Tide"

The people of this country will refuse
to be prejudiced against Mrs. Long
streets book on the life of the "War
Horse" of the Confederacy, by the sug-
gestion that it is written in spirit of
friendliness to the North, Mrs, Long
street was born in the American Union
after the Confederate struggle had be-
come the "Lost Cause" of American
history, She evidently has never
known what it was to hate anything
American. 1t twas high patriotism,
worthy of the opening days of new
century. that prompted young woman
of the new South to invite a valorous
Union officer to write the introduction
to the biography of dead adversary.
The opening words of General Sickles
introduction to "Lee and Longstreet
at High Tide" happily silence all criti-
cism:
"If it be thought strange that
should write preface to the memoir of
a conspicuous adversary, I reply that
the civil war is only memory, its as
perites are forgotten, both armies were
American, old army friendships have
been renewed, add new army friend
ships have been formed among the COM
batants, the truth of history is dear to
all of us and the amenities of chivalrous
manhood are cherished alike by the
North and South, when justice to either
is involved"
Sickles is one of the most famous of
the surviving Union officers of the civil
war. He has been prominent in Demo-
ocratic politics in New York since the
war, and has suffered much in conse-
quence.
The South will not fall out with Mrs.
Longstreet for defending the great
name she bears, now that the stout
warrior is dead and cannot answer his
accusers; magnanimous people will
honor her for it.-Exc change.

JEFFRIES POSITION ON RAIL.
ROADS.

M. q. Jeffries, the well known
Republican, expressed himself at
Milwaukee Friday night on the
railroad question as follows: "As
far as the railroads are concerned, I
only desire to see them have fair
play and I wish we had four times
as manyErailroads in this state as we
have. Personally have no reason
to love railroad companies. I have
never been in their employ and I
never get dollar out of them that
! did not squeeze out at the end Of a
lawsuit. They have fought me time
and again all the way to the SUI
preme court, and on occasions they
have beaten me, but for all that I
do not want to see them held up
for more than their fair and equit-
able proportion of taxes"

TOM TAGGART VISITS CHICAGO
Only Stays Ten Hours, but Gets Through ,
Lot of Business.


Lot of Business.
Chicago, Sept. 20.-Chairman Thos.
Faggart, of the Democratic national
committee, paid visit to Chicago and
during a ten-hour stay put in busy
time, but disappointed the Illinois
leaders by announcing that he would
have to leave for New York on the
$50 p. m. train, instead of remaining
here several days. During his visit
Taggart met several hundred Demo-
Gratis politicians from all parts of the
state, attended meeting of the state
committee, was the guest of honor at
a luncheon at the Iroquois club, and
finally, had talk with National Com
mitteeman Sullivan, John P. Hopkins
and State Chairman Boeschenstein
about opening headquarters in Chica-
go.
Taggart said he would make no an
nouncement about whether or not head
quarters will be maintained in Chica-
go until he reached New York. It is
understood, however, that there will
be no national headquarters here and
that the work in Illinois, Indiana, Wis
consin and other neighboring states
will be done by the respective state
committees. This is in accordance with
the advice of Sullivan and Hopkins.
When asked about the rumors Of a
quarrel between himself and his
friends on the one side and the Bel
mont-Murphy combination on the 9th
er, Chairman Taggart smiled and said:
'sYou may say that there is absolutely
no discord at the Democratic head
quarters"
