general public will be familiar with
the signature of the negro who was
appointed by President Roosevelt to
the office of register.
Vernon is a quiet, unassuming ne
gro, bearing neither in complexion
nor feature a trace of Caucasian
blood. He was born 80 years ago
in a log cabin on a plantation near
Lebanon, Mo-, of parents who had
been slaves.
Vernon was appointed last June
to succeed Judson w. Lyons, a mu-
latto, who had rounded out eight
years of duty. Since then he has
been signing and issuing all bonds
of the United States, of the District
of Columbia, the Spanish indemnity,
the three series of Philippine Islands
public improvement bonds, and the
city of Manila bonds, and hereafter
his signature must appear on all new
currency, both of rare and popular
denominations.

THE CONFEDERATE STA TIES AND
THE FLAG THAT WENT down
written for The News by j. Russell Wright.

hundreds of battles, with a loss of
more than hall million men, and
at a cost in money of near five mil
lion dollars.
This statement is a fact of history,
and it is also historic fact that the
confederate states had on their army
rolls from first to last during the
four years strife in round numbers
less than 100000 men.
1t matters but little whether the
confederate soldier that fell under
this flag on the battlefield sleeps
in an unknown and unmarked grave,
or under the little mound of green
grass, or under the marble shaft, it
is equally a patriotic rest, and a
hero's grave His gallant and de-
voted spirit passed from us in the
din and smoke of battle. We should
not forget the boys in gray, who are
scattered all over the south, known
only to Him who can tell where
Moses sleeps. But the hand that
makes the thunders roar can come
down every spring and paint with
bright colors the little wild flowers
that grow on their graves.
We have trophies that belong to
history which we hold sacred. Our
old flag now known as the Con
quered Banner" plucked by the hand
Of fate from among the symbolical
emblems of nationality, finds niche
so high that detraction cannot reach
it; it's cross and it's stars and bars
are part of our history, and we will
hold it's image unblurred in the mir
ror of memory. Our old confederate
swords, broken and bloody, but not
dishonored, and our shield, though
battered and bent, yet untarnished,
hang in the temlpe of fame as
bruised monuments to southern val
or. We sometimes hear people say
the New South" 1t is the same old
solid south, made so by the fathers
of the revolution, and sealed with
their blood 1t was the private sol
der in the sixties who will make
the name of Lee and Jackson ride
down the ages, and winning for
themselves immortal fame.
When Dan Emmett wrote Dixie, .
not knowing what he wrote, he gave
to the south one of the most thrill
ing, inspiring songs known to the
musical world. Dixie" will live so
long as southern patriotism endures.
Let US lay a boquet of immortelles
on his grave.
May the old man rest in peace!

A little over forty years ago
young country sprang at once among
the mighty nations of the world,
maintaining principles tinctured by
the blood of revolutionary patriots,
and illustrated by brilliant military
genius. Borne forward by the in
triped, the dauntless, the unconquer-
able valor of her sons she seemed
destined to win assured existence in
the teeth of FORMIDABLE odds, and to
wrest her independence from the
hand of fate. But the crash finally
came. and that country with her flag
went down into the grave wrapped
in her own blood-dyed and battle
torn starry cross, with all her dis
armed and broken-hearted children
gathered around and shedding the
tears of an inconsOlable grief. It's

the world, went down at Appomat-

of humanity. There is nothing IN
this world that could induce the
southern people to surrender their
affections for it, 1t went down with
ont other stain than the blood OF
martyrs. The survivors of that noble
army who followed in the flash and
smoke of battle remember how their
brothers by their side, with prayer
on their lips for the right, fell dead
from shot and shell while pressing
on TO victory and to death. There is
now but one flag, and there'ls 70 be

Government or life itself, to surren-

emblem in all the world to tnem'
and the children of those who were
true confederate soldiers will re-

influence exists. The true soldier
who fought in the front OF battle
forgets not the past, but with the

Presidents Appointment to the

Several southern senators, among
whom it is understood were Senators
Clay, of Georgia, Carmack of Ten
nessee, and Overman of North Caro-
lima, got together in the executive
session and held up the confirma-
ton of Mr. Moody to be a justice of
the supreme court, says a Washing
ton dispatch.
1t was thought that inasmuch as
Mr.. Moody's nomination had been
reported favorably by the judiciary
committee, he would be confirmed
without any trouble. Not so, for 1T
was Unexpectedly announced that in
1901, when Mr. Moody was a MEM
Der of the Fifty-seventh congress he
introduced two most drastic meas
ures in the house aimed at the south
ern states.
One of these was a resolution to
send a committee to Louisiana
to make an investigation to de-
termine whether the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the consti-
tuition were being violated. The 9TH
err was a bill entitled ITO prohibit
lynching." This bill to greater ex-
tent than any other introduced in
congress in many years exhibited sec
tional animosity of the most extreme
type.

An interesting contribution to So
GEOLOGY is furnished in a recent re-
mort of the Massachusetts bureau. OF
labor statistics on the decline OF mar
rage in the state, says the Phlla-
delphia Public Ledger. The number
of single women in 1885 was 1870

66S169. There was an increase IN
tho number of married women from

The head of the bureau characterlzes
the disparity as startling. He at

women are entering the business
fold and are therefore not so de-

Lynching of Negroes.

1t referred throughout to the
lynching only of persons of African
descent" which it defined as murder.
It made this murder punishable by
death, and put it in the Jurisdiction
of the federal courts alone. This ex-
traordinary bill further provided that
any county in which a lynching
should occur should pay into the fed
eral treasury a fine of $4,000, and
smaller fine was imposed upon the
state in which the lynching occurred.
Severe penalties were to be inn
posed likewise upon all county and
state officers who failed for any cause
to prevent the lynching. 1t was con-
sidered by the senators who held up
the confirmation of Mr.. Moody not so
much that in this bill the author
showed such hostility to the south,
but the idea of man with so little
common sense as to propose such a
bill. and with so little comprenen-
sion of the constitution of the
United States, sitting on the supreme
court seemed an anomaly.
