look ABOUT bit.
Down in Duluth the did" is not
the only exciting thing. The cost
OF paving, IN which the name of p.
Mcdonnell occupies the spot light,
IS also on tap. A similar question
WAS on in this city some two years
ago. at which time the only ones
really satisfied appeared to be- those
citizens who owned no property on
the main stem, and therefore had
none OF the assessment to pay.
ONE method of taking the Re
publican state domination from
the hands of the assumed "leaders"
would he to extend the primary law
to include state officers. And such
course would. through thwartinp
the objects and motives of some of
that class who sometimes die but
never resign from office, do more
than aught else to again harmonize
Minnesota Republicanism.
FLoREN"E, Wisconsin, has gone
"dry" on Sundays and after hours.
as a direct result of the insistence
OF three ministers of the city that
the state law be obeyed. And in a
signed statement to the public pub
lished in the Mining News the ex.
Founders Of gospel give due notice
that the order means the closing Of
the front doors, the side doors and
the cellar doors, and that they will
do everything in their power 10
bring the full penalty of the law
upon any who disregard the law.
WHILE in common with many OF
the editors not only of the eighth
but of other Minnesota districts the
Enterprise scribe acknowledges a
proffer of an opportunity to tell the
special committee investigating the
paper trust what we know of the
advance in the price of paper stock,
we felt constrained to pass up the
opportunity of most enjoyable
trip at government expense. Editor
Atkinson. of the Mesaba Ore, and
Mile Bunnell, of the Duluth News
Tribune, however, have been down
east and have doubtless enlight-
ened the committee to degree
which will mean that when Uncle
Joe tells them to dissolve the trust
| it will be dissolved.

THE BALANCE WHEEL OF THE CON
TEDERACY.


Confederacy, and that man was Robert E. Lee
Almost from the beginning Of the war there
was pickering in high places in the Confed-
eracy. President Davis was educated at West
Point and had taken part in the war with
Mexico He was, it is said reluctant to ac-
cept the position of president of the Confed-
eraey, preferring to serve in the army, conf
dent that his abilities would there be of the
greatest value to the South. The records are
full OF evidence that he was disposed to con-
stantly Interfere with the duties of practically
all of the leading officers Of the South, with
the single exception of General Lee.
When, April 81 1861, Robert E. Lee.
then lieutenant colonel Of the Second United
States cavalry, turned his back upon his beau
tiful home, Arlington, opposite Washington,
for the purpose Of joining his fortunes with
the Southern cause, his wife remained for sew
eral weeks at the home which has become hers
by the will Of her father, the grandson Of the
wife of George Washington. Virginia was
still in the Union, though an ordinance of Sc
cession had been adopted in convention with
fifty-five votes in opposition( on April II,
but it was not ratified by vote Of the people
until May 2-more than month after Lee
resigned his commission in the army of the
United States. A glimpse Of the pathetic fea-
ture OF those early days Of the great struggle
IS given in a letter written by General Irwin
Mcdowell to Mrs. Lee May 80, 1861, his
headquarters being then at Arlington. She
had addressed a letter to the officer in COM
mand of the military department which in
cluded her old home and in reply General
Mcdowell wrote as follows:
"Mrs. r. E. Lee-Madam: Having been
ordered by the government to relieve Major
General Sanford in command of this depart
ment, I had the honor to receive this morn
ing your letter Of today addressed to him at
this place. With respect to the occupation
Of Arlington by the United States troops I
beg to say that it has been done by my pre-
decessor with every regard for the preserva-
ton Of the place. I am here temporarily in
camp on the grounds, preferring this to Sleep
ing in the house, under circumstances which
the painful state Of the country places me
with respect to its proprietors. | assure you
it has been, and will be, my earnest endeavor
to have all things so ordered that on your re-
turn You will find things as little disturbed
as possible. In this I have the hearty con-
cnrrence of the courteous, kind-hearted gentle
man in the immediate command of tho troops
quartered here and who lives in the lower
part of the house to insure its being respected
Everything has been done as you desired
in respect to your servants, and your Wishes
as far as they can be known, or could be an
ticinatnd have haar comn1;ad with Nho~

interference Of the secretary Of war, Judah P.
Benjamin, lawyer, who had been placed in
the war Office by President Davis, with no mill
tary training whatever, and who managed to
make almost as many personal enemies among
army officers as did Mr. Davis himself Gun
der ordinary circumstances, - General Lee
wrote to jackson, 81 due sense Of one g own
dignity, as we'll as care for professional
rights, would demand such course as yours
but the character Of this war, the great ener-
gy exhibited by the government of the Uni
ted States, the danger in which our very OK
istence as an independent people lies, re-
quires sacrifices from us all who have been
educated as soldiers"
Supposing that Jackson had carried out his
purpose to leave the army, would General
Pope have won the second Manassas9 Would
Lee have been overwhelmed at Antietamq
Would Burnside's assault at Fredericksburg
have been success instead Of a crushing de-
feat? Would Hooker have been a victor at
Chancellorsvilleg Or, in short, would there
have been any battle of second Manassas, or
Antietam, or Fredericksburg, or Chancellors-
vile?
In 1864 book entitled, F'Lfe, Services
and Campaigns of Stonewall Jackson, From
Official Papers, Contemporary Narratives and
Acquaintance, by Virginia" was published
ed, and its attempted circulation in Kentucky
called forth from General Burbridge, COM
handing that district, an order prohibiting
within the district the circulation Of that
book and Of call other books Of a similar
character - "The object Of such books"
said General Burbridge, sis not to afford the
people correct information regarding the his
tory Of the Rebellion and its leaders, but they
are put forth for the purpose Of stirring up
discomfort and sedition, and encouraging trea-
sonable practices and reasonable converse
lions by representing the crime Of treason in
false and alluring colors.''
In the latter part of 1864 General Lee urged
President Davis to organize negro regiments
for the Confederate army as necessary war
measure, and it is probable that his influence
had much to do with the opposition Of Mr..
Davis to that measure being overcome, for the
President was one Of the last Of the leaders
Of the Confederacy to consent to the enlist
ment of black men in the Southern army. On
March 4, 1865, joint resolution was adopted
by the Virginia legislature placing negroes in
that state at the service of the Confederate
government Nine days later the Confederate
congress passed bill providing for negro en-
listments, and it was approved by President
Davis the same day. The closing article in
the $50 volumes Of War Records is an order
Of the Confederate authorities empowering
each of ten persons therein named to proceed
