purpose to arm the blacks that they
might massacre the. whites. His
vision was too cramped, his informa-
tion too limited and his judgment too
poor to know that what he Intended
was from any point of view impossi-
BILE. But that was the aim of his
vindictive fanaticism. 1t could have
had no other end. In the minds of all
unbiased and right-thinking people,
the name of John Brown should bring
a shudder because of the crimes he
committed and the horror he proposed.
None of us now justifies slavery, but
1t was an old institution that had ex-
listed for centuries both in the North
and South, and to which millions of
people for a number of generations
had been accustomed. No one but a
bloody fanatic like old John Brown
would have conceived that method for
its abolition.
Mr.. Howells, as is generally known,
is now convert to the creed of the
Socialists. He justifies Browns exc
cution on the ground that similar
attempt now made to massacre capital
lists would awaken as much alarm
among the property-holding class as
Browns Harpers Ferry raid did
among Shareholders; and he comes
very near to saying the anrchists
executed because of the Haymarket
murders in Chicago were as much
martyrs as old John Brown. Most
Southerners will agree with Mr.. How
ellis that they were all Of kind. This
comparison will serve to show that
Mr.. Howells has strange sentiments
on such subjects, but however little
company he may have in making
heroes and martyrs out of Spies and
Parsons there are thousands at the
North who concur with him concern
ing old John Brown. Theodore Roose-
welt only few months ago praised
the old butcher to cheering multi
tude in Kansas.

Crockett's Revenue,

There is story of Crockett of
"Stickit Minister" fame to the effect
that when he offered his first volume
to Scotch firm it was returned with
a polite note assuring him that there
was no market for that sort of thing.
The letter was marked mo. 396b." In
later years when the same publishers
asked him for one of his manuscripts
he politely requested them to refer to
their previous correspondence with
him marked "396b."

TO some dear falsehood hugs it to the
last"
a The world in all ages has proved the
truth of this rhythmic assertion and
such faith attaches to persons even
more strongly than to creeds. Mr.
Howells when very young was imbued
with the false idea of Browns heroism
and martyrdom. No facts now re-
vealed can divert him of the impress
sion so idelibly fixed and so inter-
woven with all his views concerning
the spirited happenings of those times.
John Brown is the fetish of the class
of Northerners to whom Mr.. Howells
belongs and the mawkish regard they
have for him cannot be destroyed any
more than the ugly facts in the life of
Mahomet destroys the faith and rever-
ence of Islam.
In the beginning of his article Mr..
Howells says, ITO the end of imagin-
able times, mankind will be bound by
an irresistible facination when men
write or speak of John Brown and
Abraham Lincoln. So different as they
were in their lives in their deaths they
were not divided, because they both

Washington, Jan. 9.-By order Oh

r,ort,o1 will convene today at Puget
Sound, Wash, Navy Yard for the tr'Si
of Assistant Paymaster E. R. Wilson,
pavmaster's Clery Clarity and Yoeman'

tors safe on the cruiser Philadelphia

dent of the court martial.

than horror on his terrible deed.
Mr.. Howells is forced by the dis.
closures of the Willard biography to
admit that Old John Brown In Kansas
engaged in taking men from their
beds, and, because of their opinions,
cutting their threats and looping their
limbs in the night and leaving their
dead bodies for their widowed and Or
phan families to find in the morning."
This Mr. -Howells admits "is the pitt
less truth of the fact this biography
now supplies" He further says that
Brown, disguised these facts to his
own conscience" and "shuffied" them
"out of public knowledge" But for
all that he still sees the glory of the
Brown halo.
OF Browns purpose at Harper's
Ferry Mr.. Novels contends, "He in
tended no such thing as a servile in
surrection," and quotes Browns decla-
ration that Ibis simple plan was to
rouse the slaves to an attempt to es-
cape from bondage and to arm them
for defense and resistance, and so
render slavery through the whole
South anxious and insecure until 1t
must voluntarily abolish ITSELF" Mr..
Howells confesses concerning this
statement, "He said what he had
meant, at first with something of the
shutting by which he had hid his COM
plicity in the Pottawatomie murders,
but with increasing distinctness till he
convinced of his truth those who
wished most to believe in his false
hood" If this view Of Browns motive
were correct it would be distinction
without a difference. It could, in any
event, have led only to bloody insur-
rection.
1t is difficult to conceive how much
more illogic could be crowded into
so small space. With Browns rec
ord for cruelty and bloodshed, his
demonstrated falsity or Shutting" as
Mr.. Howells puts it. and the inevitable
result of his attempt II he had sue
ceeded, how is 1t possible to believe
that he intended other than to start a
slave instruction. 1t was plainly his

Old John Brown
Nashville Banner

& Al new biography OF John Brown by
Oswald Garrison Willard has served.
to renew the discussion of the old
Kansas cut throat who for peculiar
reasons many people in the North
have persisted in making hero and
martyr. Mr.. Willard is a grandson of
William Lloyd Garrison and this fact
explains why he came to be interested
in Brown and why despite the bloody
record that his research revealed in
the conclusion of his narrative he puts
the old border ruffian on the sanity
pinnacle that the original fanaticism
and partisan feeling of his time placed
him.
Mr.. Wizards book is discussed from
two opposite points of view in the
January North American Review.
One criticism is contributed by Will
liam Dean Howells under the title,
John Brown Fifty Years After" and
the other by Henry Watterson, who
gives his article the significant head
ing IAN Abortive Hero Mr.. Waiter
son visited Harper's Ferry as a news
paper correspondent at the time of
Browns raid and execution and Mr..
HowelJs spsaks Of himself as young

vantage ground Of Ohio,
Both articles are very engaging in
style. No better writer's representing
the opposing opinions on the subject
could have been chosen for the tasks.
1t is not to weigh or contrast their
respective views that reference is here
made to the discussion, but rather to
express the wonder that at this late
day, in the fact Of the facts revealed
and fully admitted, Mr.. Howells still
sees halo about old Browns brow
and still declared that he is "if no
saint always hero and martyr"
