coming serious, and to add to this un-

is proposed to let down the bars against

1t was only recently that a prominent
official of the Mobile and Ohio railroad,
whose words are but the re-c:1O Of
others concerned in corporations, de-
clared that the partial letting down OF
the bars against the Celestial would
solve the labor question IT the South,
and "would make the South blossom like
the rose" He reinforced his declaration
with the statement that he had spent sew
eral years in California, and having had
some experience with Chinese help, he
would rather pay Chinese cook $1,000
per week rather than to pay one of any
other nationality $500. Fortunately,
there are few such men as this official
whose bias and partlality is, to say the
least, rankly manifest. From his view
the Chinese is the logical solution of the
labor problem, but no thinking, sensible
citizen. native born or naturalize1, would
favor the letting down Of the bars to the
Chinese Where one reason may be adj
vanced in favor of Chinese labor, hun |

LIEUTENANT GENERAL N. B.
FORREST.

There was unveiled in Forrest Park
in Memphis, Tenn, OH Tuesday, May 16
the equestrian statue dedicated to thu
memory of Lieutenant General Forrest
He was a product of the South ane
as daring as he was fearless.
He enlisted as a private in a company
of Tennessee mounted rifiemen and was
rapidly promoted to the rank he attained
If he was an unframed soldier, he was
born cavalryn,an, and he was the first
to demonstrate the advantages of swift
movements on horseback, of surprising
and assaulting and whipping the enemy.
Forrest was in his element when the
He fought desperately, to kill and to
win, and whenever necessary he engaged
his cavalry as infantryn1en. Forrest
men were always equal to any emergen-
cy, being ready handed with the saber,
the pistol or the carbine. Forrest had a
strategy of his own. 1t was simple and
consisted in whipping the enemy in the
swiftest order possible. He was idolized
by his men, with whom he shared the
hardships of the bivouac and the camp
crack of the rifle and the booming of
cannon resounded in his ears, yet he
was as gen@ as woman, but
as lion when aroused to &C
ton. He possessed a quality which is
given to few men. He could direct the
movements of his command while he
himself was in the midst of the conflict
fighting desperately with sword in hand,
slashing right and left No cavalryman
On the Federal side ever resisted his inn
petuousity, and more than one in blue
uniform persisted from the slashes of his
keen blade.
At the unwilling General Gordon OF
Tennessee was the orator, and in his
beautiful tribute said in part:
We have not assembled here today
to g1orify war We are not here to exalt
the direful and sanguinary science of |
human carnage, but to salute and accen-
tuate the name, and to commemorate, in |
language, in bronze and in marble, the
masterful proves and martial genius of |
Iennessee's, if not Americas, greatest,
most original and dazzling soldier
Lieutenant General Nathan Bedford For
rest, We declare this durable testi-
nonial, so imposing, so impressive and
SO expressive of the character and career
of the man to be the in1perishable pro-
clamation of our veneration for his
memory, our gratitude for his services
and sacrifices, and our admiration for
his valor and genius.
His natural endowments, both phvsi-
cal and mental, were extraordinary. He
began his military career at the age oil
49, the same age at which Caesar began
his conquest Of the nation, and, like the

Aces Of Senators.

The average age Of United States
senator's is diminishing rapidly. Sena-
tors Vest. Cockrel1, Hawley, Quay and
Bate have all been replaced by younger
men within the last two years, and no
doubt Senator Platt's successor will be
much his junior. There are still a few
very old men in that august body. but
the general tendency is toward send
ing younger men to the senate. 1t is
said that pension works for lon
gevity. So does seat among the
conscrpt fathers. General Pettus of
Alabama is the senior of the lot, but
he is strong mentally and physically
and is universal favorite, unless
Beverage still dislikes him by reason
of an awful castigation administered
to him by the general.

Waking Up.

There are sporadic performances
which indicate that the craze for the
Japs and things Japanese which has
been sweeping over this land for about
two years has somewhat run it's course.
For several months any man who hest
tated to assert that the Japs were the
highest type Of humanity, only little
very little-lower than the angels, be-
came at once persona non grata to any
company in which he happened to be.
There are signs-not many. but never
thelesS Signs-that some folks are wax
ing up to the fact that the little yellow
men are not what Imagination painted
them. Not long since reference was
made in these letters to the fact that
the scales had fallen from the eyes of
CalifOrnians to such an extent that
they were demanding an anti-Japanese
law similar to the anti-Chinese statute.
OF course that agitation will upset the
equilibrium of all those who desire to
see an alien race wallop a nation of
Caucasians-the only nation of eau
casians, indeed, who were friendly to
the federal government when it's need
was the sorest; but Japanese exclu-
sion act will appeal with great force to
all who have at heart the good Of our
laboring classes and the good Of the
country
There is also trouble over the Japs
out at Omaha in the packing houses.
The white men working in that busi-
ness are not much stuck on the little
yellow men. Quite the contrary. They
are demanding their expulsion. This
the bosses refuse to grant; hence the
trouble. And the end thereof is not vet.
Why do these white men demand their
expulsion from the Omaha packing
houses and why do the white Califor-
mans demand their exclusion from the
country? For sentimental reasons?
No; but from the impulse of self pres
ervation-the first law Of nature. The
plain, unvarnished truth is that the diff
ference between a Chinese and Jap Is
the inappreciable difference betwixt
tWeedledee and tweedledum. When
the anti-Chinese bill was before the
house foreign affairs committee three
Dr. four year ago so eminent person
age as Mr.. Secretary Of War Taft testi- |
led that, If ut to it, a Chinese can live
IN 2 cents per day, and WI Ting Fang ,,
'nce boosted that Chinese could work
With equal AGILITY and energy on the
equator or at the poles and that all he
needed for sustenance is a bowl Of rice.

When the railroad magnates think of
what Senator Stephen 3. Elkins and

Investigation (c they no doubt go to

crease rates without at the same time
increasing to the danger point the sen

Senator Elllins investigate railroad
rates. Some slillful playwright could

Hon. Thomas E. Watson says Hn Tom
Watson's Magazine that all congress-

road passes. That statement is not
true, and Mr. Watson ought to know
that it is not true. 1t is very ingenious
statement, however. 1t is rugged up

rides on pass he at once writes him

the only reason he heSitate; about ac-
ceptins, is that he fears it will in iuro
