Two Old settlers sat smoking in their

Honor Justly Bestowed.

On Thursday last there was unveiled
in Rome. Ga. the first monument ever
erected to the memory of the women OF
the Confederate States OF America. 1t
is the work of loving and loyal sons and
daughters of Dixie. and it evidences an
unfading and beautiful generation for
those Southern women who suffered so
much and so bravely while the great
civil war was IN progress.
Surely, the splendid women who lived
and PLAYED their parts in those stirring
and dreadful days deserve to be remem-
bered If the masculine participants do.
Theirs was not the spectacular part
the women. They mounted no fiery
steeds to ride to glory or the grave. No
waving banners or martial music spurred
them on to deeds Of daring or urged
them into the jaws of death as the can
non and the musketry roared about
them The women merely gave their
sons, their brothers. their husbands.
their fathers, their klnsmen. their
friends, and their sweethearts TO their
countrys cause They had nothing TO
do with bringing on the war. Political
differences held little of direct appeal
to them-the consututionality of seces-
sion, and all Of that, was a puzzle to
the women then-just as the tariff is to
them nowi And yet. no man ever tasted
The full bitterness OF war more often
than did the mothers. sisters. and daugh-
ters Of the soldiers who engaged in it.
They saw their loved ones go forth. smil-
ing. happy. and gay. to be brought back
within the week, dead-poor, mute vic
Tins of cruel war. And those women at
home-they denied themselves everything
that the soldiers at the front might
have such poor comforts as could In any
wise be afforded them.
An over this country stand monu-
ments to soldiers and sailors-heroes and
warriors from the ranks Of both the
blue ana the gray. Would there were
even more OF them. Every one who per
formed his duty well and nobly in that
fratricidal strife deserves to be remem-
bered gratefully and graciously by a
forever reunited country. But in all OF
this land, where stands a monument TO
the women Who gave so much. endured
so much, and complained not at all?
There is just one such monument, and it
stands in Rome. Ca, where but yesterday
it was unveiled
1t occurs to as that this Georgia city
has given the entire nation something
TO think about.

Religion ana Politics.

There is hope for the Republican party;
there is hope for the Democrats. A pas
tor out Cincinnati way has evolved a
method of transformation that should
have far-reaching effects in politics. This

hopes. has called on HIS fenow-pastors to

Il is not quite clear whether it is as a

sition thus becomes one Of considerable

else. II the country is to be saved, now
is the time for concerted action. The
process should not be delayed. The stu
alton is desperate one. and the last re-

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
Caesar Borgia Assassinated- March IL.

Caesar Borgia was one OF the most
picturesque figures OF medieval history.
To-day is the anniversary of the assas-
slnation Of the character. who has been
the subject of so much historical con-
troversy. He was the granddaughter OF
Alfonso Borgia. en- Italian of Spanish
origin. who became Pope in 1855 as Ca
lixtus III. Caesar was made a cardinal
by his father. Rodrigo Borgia. Being
ambitious, he resigned the purple 10 de-
vote himself to the profession of arms.
IN 1899 he married a daughter OF the
King OF Navarro, and assisted Louis XII
in the conquest of the Romagna in Italy
for the Holy See
He was named by bis father Duke Of
Romagna IN 1901, and shortly afterward
by treaehery as much as by violence, he
made himself master OF the Duehy Of
Urbino. A league Of Italian princes was
formed TO resist him. but he kept them
in awe by force until he succeeded in
winning some OF them against the
others, and then treacherously murdered
them on the day Of the victory at Sin
igaglia.
He now seized their possessions, and
seemed to have removed every obstacle
