government as a tax on cotton be
paid back 10 the south-thst is, to the
veterans OF the southern armies and
widows Of ConfedeTates. . II has been
suggested that small lump sum be
paid at first and the remainder in
quarterly payments.
This evidently would not be a pen

word is chiefly used. 1t would be a
repayment Of money wrongfulIy ia

veterans now living were young men

ly taken from the southern states be
returned therein that they may be
distributed among those who are in
needy circumstances, the case is en-
tirely different
We read every now and then Of some
man who has defrauded the govern
ment in the past sending large con
tribution to what is known as the
conscience fund" Only few days
ago man sent $4,000 to this fund.
So far, however. the conscience of
this great government has not been
aroused to the point where it is will

anything the Governor did not
