THE POWER OF CONGRESS TO REDUCE THE REpRFSru
 EATON OF THE sor1ru

General Keifer writes as Ii the ne- gro and the AngloSaXon were of the same or of equal races. He ought to have learned that the Angfo-SaXon di- vides sovereignty with none but the Caucasian type. A wailing and woe soil;ne history follows on the wake of mixed races. All the peoples of E,nrone. the United States and Can ad. are pure races, and they only are giving progress to the world. Egypt and all North Africa and Northeast Africa are of mixed blood of Caueas- sian and neg1o, and have been gong down for 2.5OO years. The ancient lordly Egyptians, the founders oi Memphis and Thebes, the builders o1 Carnack and of Luxor, were of pure Caucasian type; by mlngllns ms hlood with that of the negro he has left his degenerate descendant, the n,odern Copt. who seems incapable of elevation as the decaying monument of his ancient grandeur, Egypt Is d ,ond of foreigners and ruled by for eigners.
 The inhabitants of South America and Mexico are hybredlzatlon ol Snaniards. Indians and negroes, ana orc voilent revolutionary and on the down grade. Some of these states are now improying because an influx Of io,migration from Europe has given control to the Caucasian. The peo nle of Western Asia from the GanSes to the Mediterranean have been oe- clininp and lessening in numbers TOT nearly 5000 years. They are Vafl- ouslv mixed people of Caucasslans' Nonoo1ians and of Negroid tribes with straight black hair. Heaven save us from becoming a people Of mixed blood and from becoming the political monstrosity of an Afro-Amerlcan pow CT.
 Cen. Keller makes the following bold statement and stranger than IL is bold from the point of view: Il was unchangeably deeded by the CIVIL var that the original principles of liberty and the Declaration of lnae- nendence on which the republic was founded should be re-established, they have always existed, and always Will; hut even in the sense he intended It, these principles were overthroWn. More than three times as many people as declared their independ- ence in 1776, in 1861, under greater nroyocaticns, declared their nde- rendence, fought as desperately as any people ever did for their liberty and lost all In the war of 1776. the flag of liberty with it's brave de1end- CTS and the ruthless feet of the con- ouerors trampled their graves. Thls is the way the Southerners look at It.
 No objections to Gen. Keifer's tax ing sides and honestly believing he IS right and boldly defending his posi- tion; but bold statement as II acknowledged by all the world, or an inability to see only one side of question or a scorning contempt TOT the imbecility of conquered foes hay ing a right to any opinion. displays a narrowness that ought never to be in the heart of a great man. Prln' ciples established by war! Never. Established by war, and not by right, or justice, or reason, or the const'' tuition, is to confess that Might IS right'-that soldiers and not states men construe laws.
 "The Fourteenth amendment was one of the bloodbeught decrees set down in written form Absolutely correct, general. It is bayonet law. No Southern state ever ratified it. The congress of the United States. by enfranchsing the slaves and disfran- chising the intelligence and man. hood of the states and importing car petbassers with bayonets in their hands, ratified it; and said the states cid it. Ratifying the Thirteenth Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments was as foreign 10 every one of the seeded states as the backing of British iofcer's boots was foreign to the idea of personal dignity and manly spirit of Andrew Jackson when a boy. It was the United States that did it and said the states did it.
 Blood bought and set down in written form" True! It was not with a pen dipped in ink wri4an by the hand of a statesman, but with a hayonet dipped in blood written by
