A GREAT AMERICAN.
Northern Tribute to the Character of
General Robert E. Lee.
Rochester Herald. ]

The State of Virginia, availing
herself of the privilege to send to
the Capitol the statues Of her two
bestowed sons, chose to send the
statues of George Washington and
Robert E. Lee.
The men of the South would be
less than men If they failed to re-
member their heroes. and of their
heroes highly honored and lovingly
remembered, General Lee is easily
the first He is deserving Of such
remembrance and honor. There was
no nobler man in all the world than
Lee. No one has ever been able to
point to a single dishonest act or ig-
noble motive in his entire career. His
virtues were positive, not negative
General Lee reverenced his consci-
ence as his king, and he always
strove to do the right as he saw it.
His mind was large, his character
valiant. Is One can see to-day that he
was one of Lincoln's ideal men, with
malice toward none, with charity for

Letters From He'll"

This letter is correlative of
the last one, and shifts the scene
to the close of the war. Governor
Vance is prisoner in the old Capitol
building at Washington Military
Governors have been appointed for
the several Southern States and con-
situations submitted for ratification
or rejection, abolishing slavery in
those States. Not one word is said
about the black mans being allowed
to vote. That question Is left to the
several States as it had been before.
That certain class who favored seces-
sion from start to finish at once call
ed the people to meet at their sew
eral county-seats in these States to
unite together and reject that Con-
stitution, the remnant of surviving
soldiers to be honored guests at the
various hotels on that day.
In my county the same old bell
rang the people in that had called
them together to listen to those who
offered to "wipe up the blood of the
war with pocket handkerchief"
and sought to induce others to enroll
| themselves as volunteers for the war,
| these men now called upon them to
vote down the Cauley military con-
stitution. A learned lawyer who had
been Union man said to me that
, if they have the people vote down
this constitution, the next submitted
| to them will have black suffrage in
it. And it was so.
In this way they forced black suf-
rage on the people and then raised
| the cry Of negro domination and
white supremacy, and at the voting
precincts where this writer was pres
ent, in a loud voice some declared:
| THE man who votes this ticket is
| meaner than a negro,''-a ticket they
had forced on the people by their
own action in having them vote down
| the first constitution presented for
ratification.
Let us not hide from the genera
lions of children to come that their
posterity may know, and the children
yet unborn, of the acts of those of
whom I have spoken. These men
had not on Bonded knee and ear close
to the mouth of soldiers left to die
in the woods heard the faint words
of tell mother and tell sister," and
then failed to hear more as their life
slowly ebbed away. They had not
kept watch by the dying soldier, and
| at the last moment asked for the
shoes he wore. with the promise that
he would pay his aged father for
them If ever he reached his home
again. The ill-timed patriotic words
Of these eloquent orators, so full of
sarcasm as they denounced the eau
ley military constitution, and called
on the people to vote it down, was
a paraphrase of the words of those
Of whom Governor Graham said he
had never heard such eloquence be-
fore. But alas! they had the people
reject the peace offering, and were
then forced to suck out the very
drops that came from the new order
Of things known as Reconstruction.
'By their fruits ye shall know
them" A SOLDIER.

"While the South is approaching
that happy condition where it is able
to finance its own enterprises, we are
Northern people," said Thomas H.
Shipman, president of bank at Bre-
ward, n. c., at the Raleigh.
"a few years ago we could not
raise enough to finance any sort of
an undertaking, but to-day we are in
position to take care of all but very
large new enterprises. This is proof
that the South is coming into her
own, but We are not so unapprecia-
tive that we refuse to give credit
where credit belongs. We owe it to
Northern capital and Northern people
largely that the wonderful resources
Of the South are being developed, and
we are so fully aware of this that we
do not hesitate to say that we vel
come people from the North. The
more we get of Northern immigration
and Northern capital the better we
are pleased.
Due to the elimination of the ne.
gro as factor in politics, North Car.

.THOUGH John D. Works re-
ceived 1,500 votes more than A.
G. Spalding in the race for
United States senator to succeed
Senator Flint, the latter has captured
more districts in the state than both
Works and Edwin A Meserve to-
gether, according to the official re-
turns of every county in the state
announced by W. D. Page and COM
'municated last night to Senator Le-
Roy Wright at the Palace hotel The
figures compiled are from the official
county canvass as returned by the re-
spective boards of supervisors. The
compilation shows that of the senate
and assembly districts that will be
represented in the legislature at Sac
ramento Spalding will have IS votes,
Works SO and Meserve 8, thus as
surfing to Spa1ding, under the provi-
sions of the direct primary law. the
senatorial toga from California.
In spite of the uncertainty and doubt
which surrounded the earlier returns
on the fight from different parts of the
state, the final summing UP gives Spald-
ing decided victory in the number
of counties, as we'll as in the number
of districts. The total vote for Works
was the greatest, he receiving 64.9S1.
Spalding was second. with 63.461. while
Meserve closed the lineup with 52.55S.
votes less than Works. he won safe
majority of assembly and senatorial
districts, the San Diego candidate re-
ceiving 20 senatorial and 40 assembly
districts.
The counties of Los Angeles Sacra-
mento. Sonoma. Santa Clara, San Joa-
quin, Humboldt and Fresno have not
been segregated into senatorial and as
sembly districts. Giving to Works all
the districts in Los Angeles save one.
which was carried by Meserve. an dali
of the senatorial and assembly dis
tricts in Fresno and San Joaquin coun-
ties and counting the districts in the
other four for Spalding, the latter is
safe past the goal of his primary strug-
gle.
Under the new order OF things po-
litical the members of the legislature
will have two selections in casting
their vote. The practical effect OF the
direct primary law is that they NAV
vote either for the man receiving the
largest number of votes in their dis
trict or the man receiving the largest
number of districts in the state

for the senatoFship, hos morally obli-
gated the senator's and assemblymen

This committee was instructed to ar
range for proper presentation of the
oil mems desire for a return to the
Interpretation of the laws governing
the filing on oil lands prior to July 3,
1910. by the interior department at
Washington.
Congressman S. C. Smith reviewed
the situation from legal standpoint
and strongly urged the oilmen to take
steps at once to place their side of the
case before the department in a legal
brief, so that if the decision of the de-
partment should be adverse it would
afford basis for the bringing of bills
before congress, affordihg proper relief,
and pointing out that until such action
had been taken before the executive de-
partment the legislative branch would
be disinclined to act.
