History is often repeating itself, one
of the most patent illustrations of the
observation being present conditions in
Kansas, where race war is in progress.
A white woman was recently assaulted
10y negro, and the white people are
naturally incensed. The negroes, on
the other hand, are arming and trouble
is imminent. Half century ago Kan
sas, the incubating ground of the present
republican party, was i'll the throes of a
turmoil over the negro issue, and John
Brown was one of the leading and fierce
spirits who espoused the cause of the col
ored race. Much blood was shed and
bitterness engendered which has not
been assuaged in the years which have
followed. Today the white people are
arming to protect themselves from the
race their predecessors manifested such
interest in.

walton having been suggested by DR..

The crowd, numbering distinguished
educators from all parts of the country

"Choir a Pathway to He'll"

"The pathway to hell is through a
church choir" said Burgess Charles Fl.
Pennypacker, in lecturing a number OF
small boys on Tuesday after they had
with stone broken a window at the
home of Professor Addison Jones, prin-
cipal of the public schools at West Ches-
ter. Pa. The boys are members OF the
vested choir of the Church of the
Holy Trinity, and the ofense was
committed after choral practice. "There
should be no pretext for the chill
dren of Vest Chester to be upon the
streets after 9 O'Clock in the evening"
said the wise burgess, "unless they are
accompanied by their parents or some
responsible person. If the church
needs choir after 8 o clock, the borough
doesn't. | was informed that the boys
constitute Sunday school class, and
that recently some of them jollied each
other as to when they would reach the
House of Refuge at Glen Mills. 1t looks
as if a cowhide we're needed in this
case" The matter was held under adj
visement for one week.

Mr.. SWANSON is winning friends
throughout the State and many of the
papers are speakingi in most complimentary
terms of his speeches. The Richmond
correspondent of the Petersburg Appeal
says
If there was any suspicion in the
minds Of the public that Congressman
Swanson would exhibit any hard feelings
against Governor Montague for his defeat
for the GovernOrship, the last time, it
has been dispelled by the genial Con-
CHEESEMAN'S recent utterances His ref
erences have been cordial and kindly,
and if there is anything in the BarSs-
dale law or other things that he person
ally opposed, he accepts them all as the
voice of the democratic party. Swan
sons campaign speeches are thoroughly
good-hatured and are not likely to rub
anybody the wrong way.

The North Carolina Monument.

In his address at Appomattox Wed
nesday Governor Glenn, of North Car
DINA, in the most cOnciliatory spirit and
with winning frankness, threw some
light on the monument claims that some
Virginians disputed. In reference to
Bethel, he said Henry l.. Wyatt, of the
First North Carolina regiment, was the
first Confederate killed in the war. He
quoted from the old Richmond Enquirer
and the other Virginia papers in sub
sanitation of the statement as to Wyatt.
At Gettysburg in the great charge on
the third day, Virginians on the right
and Carolinians on the left we're order
ed to storm and take a long, irregular
line of Notifications. The Vi;ginians
it so happened did not have so far to
go. The Carolinians, on the other
hand, wer ordered to take a point in
the Notifications that was farther back
from the initial line from which the
troops of the two States started Hence
the claim that Carolina went larthest at
Gettysburg.
At AppomattOx the Caroinians un-
der Cox and Grimes were partially cut
of from the body of Lees army an did
not gel information of the surrender
promptly and kept on fighting. Two
orders to retire and to lake their place
preparatory to suuend T we're given the
body Of Caroinlans before they ceased
firing. Close analysis of the claims of
Governor Glenn would seem to indicate
that the position of the Caroinians in
each Of the three instances was largely
accidental.
