QUITE SINGULAR.

In this era of the RECOMMENDATION of the
fraternal ties between the North and
the South-which gives the inspiration
to most orators in the innumerable CAB
tests to say that there is now mo North
and South no East, no West" the stub
born fact has been altogether overlooked
that the South is without single cab
met officer. That it is unrepresented in
the diplomatic corps, and that micro
scope would have to be used to find the
Souths, representation in the consular
corps.
It would neither be fair nor true to
say that there are not to be found at the
South, Republicans entirely capacitated
to occupy these representative positions
Hence, the total eclipse of the South in
this matter appears singular.-The Peo-
pie, of Baton Rouge.
Singular? In what sense? Have we
not been told repeatedly that there is no
South, but a New South" which has
superseded and replaced the "Old'
South, rather the South, with all its
glorious achievements and sacred men,
ories7 By whom was the New South
originated Did these apologists to the
North, these pieaders for the "New
South stay the hand and fight and
overwhelm the enemies of the South
during the era of reconstruction Do
these apologists expect recognition from
the administration, which is Republi-
can?
As the South is not seeking political
fayors from a Republican administra
ton, 1t is not singular that the South,
which is Democratic, is not represented
in the cabinet, diplomatic OF consular
corps, or in any department of an ad-
ministration which is Republican. AS
the New South" has scarcely reached
the stage of discretion, it must wait and
be patient and grow up with the country.
When all the heroes Of the South are
gone. when all the men who faced and
swept from power the vandals from the
North III silent but all-powerful politi-
cal revelation, wlier the men who by
thei- self sacrifice made it possible for
the South to live in peace and prosperity,
shall have passed away, then the apollo
gists.fo The North may assume authority
and full sway. bun not until then.
There can be NO political fraternaliza-
ton between the Republicans and the
Democrats, at least in the South, |
and, IS the Republicans in the
South are III hopeless minority, |
there IS no special reason why these
should be recognized and appointed to
positions in the cabinet, the diplomatic
Or consular corps because they are resi-
dents Of the South.
