cHANcED rrs oPrNroN.

speaking of the death of General Long, street, and while General Gordon was on his death-bed, The Portland oregonian
 had an editorial from which we make three short extracts:
 The funeral of Longstreet is likely to | be our last public ceremony of notable character that dates back to the Civil ures of of the Civil war. like General Schofield and the Confederate General John B. Gordon, are sure of honora pie notice in death, but their passing will not make the people of either section halt and doff it's hat in reverence before their pail exhausted the Southern heart as conn pletely as the passing away of Grant: Sheridan and Sherman exhausted that of
 There is nobody left on either side to- day in the United States whose deatn would cause either section to waste any time in large public funeral honors or heartfelt mourning of any sort'
 The oregonian evidently altered It's opinion after reading of the funeral of l General Gordon, for in it's issue of last
 Saturday it has this paragraph:
 The Southland honored in fitting man. | ner one of the heroes of her great strug- | gle for separate national existence by | the grief with which she stood beside the bier of General John B. Gordon. The | last conspicuous figure on the Confeder- ate side of the great rebellion, his com rades of the>lost cause paid General Cor | don the respect due to brave man, an intrepid soldier and a faithful citizen of | the South. Time has softened the asperi-
 ties of the conflict, and the people Of the
 North, as was seemly. looked on in
 respectful silence while their brethren of
 the South consigned the body of this last
 of their fighting generals to the grave
 While it is doubtless true that the death
 of no Confederate can cause such a wide felt sorrow and such general expression
 of 1t as did the deaths of Lee and Davis,
 the honors paid General Gordon is a
 convincing proof that the Southern peo-
 pie have lost none of their proud rever-
 ence for the conspicuous figures of the
 great war. We honor them living and
 We will honor them when they pass Iaway. That General Gordon deserved
 the tributes that have been paid him Is proven by the words of praise that we
 have found in nearly all the Northern papers of which the following from The
 Chicago Tribune is a fair sample:
 General Gordon espoused the cause of the South with all the enthusiasm of youth and the chivalry which had always
 characterized the Scotch Gordons, from whom he was descended. He rose rapidly
 from a captaincy to the rank of lieuten-
 ant general by his gallantry at Manas- sas, Seven Pines, Antietam and Chan
 cellersville. His courage and chivalry,
 and the brilliancy of his operations en- deared him to the South. Few, indeed,
 of its leaders have been more beloved in that section than he. It is due to his memory to add that few of its leaders
 have been more highly respected or more
 warmly received in the North than he.

THAT EDUCATIONAL IDEA.

The Advertiser has had something to say about the new educational scheme, which is really a re-incarnation of the old Blair bill which was proposed and discussed some years ago. As an ad- dendum to the comments made We sub init this extract from later issue of The Richmond News-Leader, which looks at the measure about as We do. It says:
 While the States might control the ap- propriations in theory, they would not and could not control them in practice, and 1t would not be long before all the school children who were "beneficiaries" would virtually be thinking one way-would he rooted and grounded in the doctrine of
 paternalism: All educational lines would lead from Washington and precedent
 would be established for various other
 subsidies that would conduce to cen- tralization. The governments largess would be tremendous power in hands | of the administration and self-seekine
 politicians in the States and would make | for the extinction In the South of the spirit that has proved her regenerat ton
 since the close of the Civil War in all cal and economic-the spirit of self-reli- ance.
 We do not for an instant question the
 purity of purpose and disinterestedness of the RsnLlemen WHO rdlSeO the ghOSt. But
 their incantation was inspired by enthu-
 siasm and was without taking counsel of
 sound judgment or weighing the far. reaching pernicious consequences. The ghost should be laid forever. The friend. of the South both here and at the Nortt could not do this section and her peopl, and our American institutions a wors, turn than continue to call up and attemp
 to clothe in any palpable or substantia form the perturbed and perturbing spiri of Blairism. Let 1t rest.

Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to Which He or She May be Exposed

There are two ways to remove constr patton; the wrong way is to drench the bowels with a powerful, gripping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in a more chronic form. The right way is to use natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves a healthful influence behind it. Prickly Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics, and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to perina- nently cure the habit.

A PLEDGE BY HANNA.
President a1:d Senator Meet at Dinner
 Do Not Talk Politics.

President a1.d senator Meet at O1nner
 Do Not Talk Politics.
 Washington Special to Chicago Record
 President Roosevelt and Senator Han ma met tonight for the first time since the meeting of the Republican National Committee on December F. They came together at the dinner complimentary to the President and the members or tne Cabinets given by Postmaster General and Mrs. Payne at the Arlington Hotel.
 The President and Senator Hanna did not have an opportunity to discuss poll tics, because there were forty guests pres ent and Senator Hanna was compelled to leave at 10 o'clock to make an address before the District of Columbia Board of Trade. It may be stated, however, that Senator Hanna did not tell the President he was in favor of his nomination.
 The Presidents friends. having, as they privately contend. succeeded in smoking out Senator Hanna on the call for the National Convention, are now seeking to "smoke him out on the question of the nomination.
 All sorts of artifices are being employed to get a declaration from Senator Hanna either for or against the President. The administration managers want senator reading something like this: q am in favor of the nomination of President Roosevelt at Chicago, and will urge all my friends to vote for him.
 Senator Hanna will not make any such declaration, it is said. nor will he make substitute declaration which the Roose' welt people are ready to submit to r.-1 stating that he would not accept We nomination for the presidency.
 Friends of Senator Hanna are con vinced that Senator Platt's interview in g New York paper, saying that Hanna would not allow the use of his name be- fore the convention and was for Roose' welt for President, was an effort to draw some declaration from the Ohio Senator They declare that Senator Platt misrep' resented Senator Hanna. and deny witf the positiveness of authority that Hanna had ever told Platt that he was fol Roosevelt; that he would support Roose welt for President and that he (Hanna' would not allow the use of his name They also declare 1t untrue that Hanne is in favor of the Presidents nomina ton,

Gov. Cummins Explains Situation in

His State. Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.
 Governor Cummins of Iowa has thrown down the gauntlet to the stand patters"
 and there will be a fight to a finish in
 his State for the Iowa idea" If the Governor and his followers win the Iowa delegation will stand for the Iowa idea in the national convention.
 This decision is important. as Governor
 Cummins considers the contest being
 made against him on account of his tariff revision views as an indirect way of in- troducing into Iowa the anti-Roosevelt
 campaign. Notice was served on the
 'stand-patters'' as soon as the Governor
 arrived here that he was well aware the
 fight Is on and he is fully prepared to
 meet it.
 Governor Cummins said: T have nothing to compromise and will not enter into any arrangement to divide the delegation to the national convention. That delegation will be made up as the people of Iowa want it. and have no doubt it will be a Cummins delegation. It

Does Not Remedy the Abuse.

WaShingtOn Post.
 The new executive order requiring an additional half hour of service from the department clerks and employees sacri- fices great number of competent and faithful public servants without correcting a notorious abuse. Everybody knows that the departments have many drones, and everybody knows that the right way to attack the evil is not to impose extra burdens upon the industrious and the ca uable and the willing. Such measures are not remedies; they are mere evasions. The order does not constitute a reform: 1t simply. exploits a thoroughly transparent makeshift

FRIDAY, JANUARY s2, 1904.
A VERY SAD CASE.

1t is very sad-tearfully sad. that's a fact. We mean the order of this hard hearted Government of ours requiring the proxImatins a days work. Heretofore they have been required to get to work at o'clock and keep at it till in the afternoon, but now. the pltiless Govern anent proposes that they must get busy ms $50 and stick 1t out till 4 p. m. if it kills them. They are actually expected to work at least seven hours day, half an hour being given them for lunch time.
 Many and vociferous are the complaints moing up anent this new evidence of off, rial tyranny. For example one of the victims, who is evidently misinformed as ao the end of the day to which ehe extra half hour is attach ed,- writes a dolefully long letter to The Washington Times setting forth the hardship of requiring a clerk to get to work at the absurdly early CD hour of half past 8 in the morning. He and a number of other employees live at Vienna. ever in Virginia. some twenty miles from Washington. and he declares that prop erty in his town has already been given n black eye by the new order" They have been required heretofore to get to work by o'clock in the forenoon and he plaintively asks, What would be the effect if people knew they would have to arise thirty minutes earlier in the moril- angY'
 We shudder to think of the direful con sequences. The very least that can be expected is that free government will per- ish from the face of the earth. To ex- pect that a man who works-or is SUD- posed to work-for Uncle Sam must get out of his comfortable bed not later than 2 o'clock in the morning is several times loo much. He declares that even now they have to eat breakfast at the un- earthly hour of 7:30 and if this new order goes into effect we presume they will be expected to eat breakfast the night be- fore. As it is, he complains that it is difficult to get cooks to prepare break fast for them before or by 7:30, and If they must get it half an hour earlier, nothing less than a cataclysm can be ex- pected. The writer declares that if the new order is enforced he will have to sell his home and move to town in order 10 avoid strainins himself and the rall- roads.
 wonder if this grumbler knows what a days work actually is? Does he know that thousands and tens of thousands oi mechanics, store clerks and employees oi various kinds get to work every morning by or before o'clock? Does he knnS that many thousands of farmers and farm snands and other laborers are at work bN 6 every morning, and does he know tha most of these hard workers keep at it til 6 or in the afternoon, and often mucf later? He evidently has little idea wha' work is. He seems to have an idea that the aim and object of our Government i' to give all of its employees an easy time and to allow them to look out first fol shelr comfort and convenience. Sucl grunblers as he ought to be put under some energetic farmer and forced to learr what a days work really is.
