view of the relations of the north and
south.
There is a theory, that the Virginia
and Kentucky gentry own slaves; this
is false; I have seen for myself that
the niggars own the gentry. Now l
wish to make you and Mary under
stand that, although we see that this
war will probably settle the slavery
question, and possibly forever limit
slavery to the cotton states, yet we
are not fighting for the Negroes cause
Slavery has been the cause OF the war
in no sense other than that 1t has
added another distinctness to the line
betwixt north and south which climate
and race had already drawn. The real
cause Of the war is bitter and Grim
inal hatred, entertained by the south
against the north, and based on other
than slave interests. For so years the
character of southerners has become

rational, naughty, scornfu1 Of justice.
They have so long cracked their whips
over negroes that they now assume a
certain inherent right to crack them
over white men; assume the positive
taken advantage OF the north's desire
for quiet and peace to impose upon US
without stint. For years the tone or
their actions and speeches, in congress
and society, has expressed this senti-
ment and determination. Even south
ern students at college, when / was at
Yale, adopted the same tactics. One
hundred of them-poor scholars, but
clustering with rum and bowie knives
-lorded it over 400 studious New Eng
landers, simply because the latter were
studious and desired to obtain the OBJ
jects aimed at in collegiate course. At
length the thing became degrading,
and we arose one day and kicked them
all out. For so years the same plan
has been practiced OF a larger scale
in our national affairs. The south as
sisted by northern merchants whom 1t
has governed, has been true enough
to the union, so long as every election
gave it the power, and as foreign mis-
sions, army and navy commissions,
presidencies, ETC., were held in its own
hands. But the census Of 1850 showed
that the enterprising and Industrious
north was getting the balance of
power Then the south began to rebel
and would have seeded had not the
Clay compromise taken away its sole

A Puzzle or a Portent.

The foreign trade of the country
Cor March, 1910, shows a balance
against US Of s19,254,O 900. This, the
New York World says, is the first I'M
favorable balance in that month since
1898, just after President Cleveland
was tnaugurated. and 1869, when re-
assured foreign capital was still rush

port balance consisted so largely of
Imported luxuries.
If after a very bad record in the last
half of 1909 the present year continues

The Moral Cleansing of the Town

The movement inaugurated in Rock
Island to insure the moral cleansing
of the city is not only timely but es-
sential. No one, be he even engaged
in the liquor traffic, can fail to applaud
the steps that are thus taken to re-
move the stain that has been placed
upon the city through too lax regula-
ton.
Those who are interested in the
move to better the town and to re-
move the elements that have been pro-
ductiye Of an unenviable notoriety
which has made every decency respect
ing citizen hang his head in shame,
should not be misled by the idea that
in the saloon reposes the entire blame
It isain the dive that the evil and the
sin turks - the joint that takes out
a license to conduct a liquor establish
ment and harbors street walkers and
young girls, and the gambling den that
exists up stairs over the saloon to
rob the wayfarer by crooked devices
these are the danger spots in Rock
Island
Make a start by wedding them out,
and the rest of the regulation will be
much more simple.

While l was secretary of legation at

Count CzshardE who was connected
with the Austrian foreign Office, on

and lived alone-that is, if one can be
said to live alone who is surrounded
by secretaries, attendants and serv-
ants. 1 conferred with him upon the
matter of business that brought me
to see him and dined with him, after
which, pleading occupation. he turned
me over to one of his secretaries, a

was repulsive to me from the moment

There is nothing in its history more
interesting to me than the recent

Mark Twain.

Mark Twain, genial humorist and
gentle friend, is dead. It has fallen
TO the lot Of few men to spread so
much sunshine in the world CHEEKY
minded and noble hearted, his mis-
sion was to present the better, as
well as the funny side of life. With
rare originality, keen sense of wit
that gave him a place in the world
of literature peculiarly his own, Sam
uel L. Clemens, was as well known
for quite as long a period of time,
perhaps as any great writer.
Bright as was his style and nat
ure, he lived in his own world of sorrow.
His devotion in his invalid wife was
one of the most beautiful traits OF
his character, and his grief at her
passing moved the world to tears.
Financial reverses were his, too, but
he bravely overcame them. He could
not heal the wounds of affliction
though, and when his daughter met
a tragic death some months ago he
gave up.
Soon he is to be laid to sleep beside
the well beloved companion of his life
What more fitting epitaph to this truly
good man than the lines of exquisite
tenderness which he wrote for the
marble slab that was to bedeck her
resting place, when his heart was
breaking:

Shine kindly here!
Warm southern wind

of a remarkable trip which he took
into the unknown region inhabited by
the Eighteen Tribes on the borders
of China and Tibet. The authors
