"DIXIE" IN THE NORTH.
macon Tefegraph.)


Many a travelling Southerner in re-
cent years has wondered at the en-
thusiasm reused by Dixie in the
North Everywhere it seems to be
far and away the most popular OF
the national airs" 1t can't be the
mere merit of the tune itself. Il
can't be the mere fact that it is
Southern. What is it? The follow
ing lines contributed to the Philadel-
phia Press fail to explain, but attest
the popularity of the Southern ali
in that rock-ribbed Republican sec
ton of the North:
When the band plays Dixie, then
Just hear the wild applause,
You'd think that ev'ry maiden there
Espoused the Southern cause;
Where were they born? Not one in
ten | candidly opine,
Has been below the ch-discussed
Mason and Dixon line!
Yet when the band played Dixie, well
The maids leap from their seat,
Their cheeks afame, their eyes afash
And beat time with their feet
They rip their gloves in wild APP
plauSe,
And show they do not care
For anything when once the band
Rips out the Southern air.
The little maid, for instance, who
Demurely sat, in gray,
Now's shouting louder than the rest
In all that big cafe;
The glass of lemonade she had
Is only quarter drunk
She's wildly cheering Dixie, and
Was born in Manayunk.
The other girl, in China silk,
Who's sitting by the door,
The second that the band began,
Let out rebel roar!
Who won the war? What was the
cause?
Who gave, who took the lickin'?
She never knew-her life's she's lived
Out in Wissahickoni
The frankfort maid is cheering loud
The Fox Chase girls as bad,
The girl who lives in Torresdale
Is going on like mad!
For the band is playing Dixie,
And ev'ry girl, of course,
Just gets right up and throws her
bluff,
And shouts until she's hoarse!
Perhaps it was one of these DIX
ie"-loving girls who recently shocked
an elderly Philadelphia by seriously
enquiring whether Grant fought on
the Northern or the Southern side in
the war of 1876. The North is full
of foreigners and the children of for
eigners who know little and care less
about the past history of the United
States, and even the young people OF
old American stock show an indiffer-
ence to the issues of the war that
sometimes fills their elders with hor-
ror. A young New Yorker of intelli-
gence, discussing the race question
with another man of his own section
short time ago, declared that the
conviction is growing that "the South
was right about that matter" anG
he added: IF we had it to do over
again there wouldn't be any war
After a few years more the young

North and the young South will fill
the stage, and then the war and it's
issues, except as history, will be COM
pletely forgotten Then the negroes
can no longer rely on the sentiment
that fingers with both the old slave
owners in the South and the Abolit-
ionist element in the North, a sentt-
ment that is dissimilar but kindly in
both cases. They can then rely only
on their own efficiency and good cit
izenship, and may look for no special
consideration or tolerance as a class.

If the alleged letter of Clevelnad,
in favor of Taft, published by the

base fabrication, as many believe,
that paper will be in a worse posi-
ton than the London Times was after
the Pigott letters were disclosed to
be forgeries. The Times stands in a
position to absolutely lose all in
fluence with the Democratic party
and to be looked upon with suspicion
by the Independents if the charges
are true that the alleged letter was
hawked from one newspaper office
to another and refused by all except
the Times as in all probability an
entirely spurious document

The Georgia legislature has eaten
