BY Mark Field.

We are now informed by southern
paper that an equestrian statue of
John Morgan in bronze has just been
unveiled in Lexington, KY. ito COM
memorate his services and those of
his noble command" during the civil
war. The brilliant ca writer Of this
editorial announcement tells US that
Gen. Morgan early in the war won
fame as a commander of the very
cream of bluegrassdom." This is ex-
ceedingly edifying to those who know
the truth about the general and the
cream. But there is more to follow:
He fought many battles, and no Of
fcer displayed greater courage, where
needful." The real battles fought by
John Morgan are not on record, and
never will be. He was never anything
but guerrilla, and was nowhere near
the equal of Mosby at that. We admit
that he had courage, where needful"
that is. where 1t was needful to get
away, and it was often "needful" for
him to do that.
The effulgent editor aforesaid en-
lightens us beyond measure when he
says: But his greatest fame was
made in raid north Of the Ohio
river" Yes, John made raid north
OF the Ohio. It was this way: He
crossed the river some miles below
Louisville, over into Indiana. He at
once went up the stream through the
best OF the southeastern counties OF
that state, robbing banks, stores and
stock farms as he and "the cream
OF hluegrassdom" galloped along. The
iioosier farmers grabbed their shot
guns, mounted their plow-nags, took
after John, and chased him out of In
diana into Ohio. where the enterpris
ing Buckeyes had set net In which
they easily bagged the frisky John
j and all the cream he had with him
and "toted" the whole catch off tc
the Ohio penitentiary. Now in the
country where we were raised this
would not be called fame" for John
But 1t seems to go for that in Ken
/ lucky.
There was just one bit of good tina
Morgan did in this raid. When he go
into section of Indiana not far from
Lawrenceburg, he struck a neighbor
hood of very rich farmers who wer,
rank coppcrheads, every one of whom
fastened to assure him that thei
sympathias were all with the South il
the war then going on. When Johl
found one of these he promptly GALE
up some of the cream" and said

John Morgan In Bronze

fat steers I know our friend Will be
glad to give literally to the cause he
loves" And the cream we're cheer
fully obedient. In thus laying very
high compulsory tariff on men to
whom it was most cruel punishment,
John converted number of the worst
type OF Copperheads into stalwart
Union men. Though not intentional it
was mighty good service.
The Ohio penitentiary proved to be
q separator it separated John
from the cream" even the cream Of
bluegrassdom." The cream was pa
rolled and John was held. But in a
few days he escaped, and, in disguise.
made his way to Greenville. East
Tenn. Here he took refuge with a
widow lady. But Captain Jim Brown
low, being then at Greenville with a
small command, and being informed
of Johns hiding place, surrounded the
widows house with squad of men,
routed the refugee out, and John Nor
gan fell to rise no more, under an ap-
Pile tree in the widows back yard,
pierced by a rifle bali from a
Springfield rife in Captain Brownlow's
own hands.
The luminous editor in question is
pleased to say that mo man was ever
more loved by his followers, or more
admired by those who were ON the
other side, than John Morgan" John
was surely loved by his followers. But
as to the soldiers and citizens Of the
loyal states We have to say that, while
they have always warmly admired
Generals Lee, Jackson, Johnston, and
others Of the real Confederate com,
manders, with all the brave enlisted
men who wore the grey, they have
! never had anything but detestation
for those partisan marauders that went
under the name of guerrillas.
/ When Morgan is considered in his
real capacity he may not appear much
worse than Mosby. But when an at
/ tempt is made to set him up as a
/ general it is scarcely possible for q
man who knows the history of the
times to control his risibiiities.
BY the way, why hasn't Virginia YET
made move toward erecting monu
ment to the memory of Mosby? Ii
mental caliber and fighting skill he
4 was far superior to Morgan. But then
after all, 1t is not hard to see VIII,
the virginians neglect him. After
:, the war he repented his disloyalty
turned Republican, and received from
the government an office whose func
[ tions he discharged with ability ant
fidelity. And, though our Southern
brethren have long been happil.
reconciled to the Union, they haven
, all yet come to love the sight of ever
: a bronze Republican.

WHY THE RREAsTwoRksa

Country road builders quite gener-
ALLY follow the custom of scraping sod
and clods of the toughest and most
disagreeable nature into the middle of
the road in such manner that it is
| impossible to travel over it, making
! it necessary to drive on one side or
| the other with one wheel tilted up at
an angle of about forty-five degrees
with the other. The Boone News-Re-
publican, inspired with a degree of
curiosity not unmixed with sadness,
wants to know why they do this The
same thought has occurred to others
! By way of tentative suggestion the
Boone paper offers the following:
"The object seems to be to turn.
pike the road up so that it will shed
water, which is practicable. if not
carried to the extreme, but the breast
works referred to are so extremely
high and slanting, that they look as ii
built to keep people off of the road
At any rate, no one with team will
undertake to climb over the rough
and irregular surface for the purpose
of beating it down. Instead, drivers
take one side, whichever is the
smoothest, and this is the only beat
en- track. The road is siding and te
turn out in case of meeting is a ter
Irible task
The complaint voiced above is a
real one and should have the thought
full attention of those in authority
over country roads. It is esseatia
that the roads be rounded up in the
middle to ensure proper drainage
but there is no sense in throwing III
la ridge in the middle that acts as {
deterrent to travel. Because of tbs
sod and clods thus piled in the center
many 2 road is in worse condition
after it has been worked" than be

Former Chiel Constructor Camps Of

Former ChieI Constructor Caps of

formal report to Secretary Meyer con-
corning the evidence revealed thus
far in the raising or unccvering of the
battleship Maine in Havana harbor.
Caps was sent to identify certain
parts of the Inflated vessel nov ex-
posed. He was the man who super
yised the construction of the Maine
and so could best Judge of her present
condition. While his report is not
public at this writing, officers who
have seen it say that it fully confirms
the original findings of the court Of
inquiry that the primary explosion
that destroyed the vessel was be.

Maine had no smokcless powder
aboard at the tine Of the wreck. and
this removes one possible theory u

THE MIGHT OF isLAM.

Those who take stock in the dream
of the cross floating above the ruins
of the Moslem empires, dream re-
viyed by Italy's raid on Tripoli, evil
IDENTITY do not take into account the
strength, cohesion ard expanding
power of the Mohammedan world.
The might OF Islam comprehends
100000 900 human beings, scattered
over the old world from Cape Verde
to the Pacific There are more Mos
lens in European Russia thar there
are inhabitants In Italy. In British
India 100000 Moslems celebrate
the birthday of the Turkish sultan
with more rejoicing than they do that
of the British king. Recently the car
OF Russia attended the laying Of a
cornerstone of a great Mohammedan
mosque in st. Petersburg, and the
emi- Of Bohhara, Moslem potentate
from central Asia, sat at his right
hand. Under the stars and stripes In
the Philippines there are about 700,.
900 Moslem citizens. The number in
Africa is not known, but according to
one authority there "Mohammedan.
ism is advancing like sandstorm In
the desert" Among the black people
of Africa Mohammedanism Is making
greater strides than the combined la
bors of Christian missionaries. To
| the mighty host of Islam the sultan is
| the living representation of the proph
ct An attack on the Ottoman EN-
pire is regarded by the followers OF
the prophet not only as an attack or
a political system, but an attack or
their religion. Once the idea that the
hated infidels' are warning on his
religion penetrates the Mohammedar
mind he is in the fight to the death
for death in the holy cause, by kor
anic teaching, is made d passport Il
paradise To show how deep-rooted /:
] the creed, and the readiness of Mo
hammedans to make sacrifices for the

thority quoted by the New York SUI
that in response to the appeal of the
late Sultan Abdul Hamid for funds tt

cities of Medina and Mecca will
Damascus S10O,000,000 was contribut

the light of these evidences of Nc

as the dream of Peter, the hermit.
