RESIDUARY LEGATEE OF THE
KNOW. .NOTHINGS

In the year 1900 John s. Wise pub
lished a book, called THE End of an
Era" which he dedicated to my old
Confederate comrades, the bravest,
simplest, most unselfish, and affec-
tionate friends | ever had"
Mr.. Wise was then living in New
York, and was the son of Governor
Richard s. Wise, elected Democratic
governor of Virginia in 1855. The
book is personal narrative of events
of which the author had direct in
formation. Incidentally he refers to
an evanescent party of that day;
I'm 1855 a great political contest
occurred in Virginia. A faction known
as the Know Nothing Party, or the
American party had sprung up sud-
denly, and had trlumphed in num-
Der of northern states. 1t was a
secret organization, with oaths and
grips and pass words. Its rallying
cry was that Americans should rule
America. Incidental to this watch
word was a real or fancied hostility
to foreigners, particularly the Irish,
and to the Catholic Church. Until
it reached Virginia it had been sue
cessial everywhere. Father believed
n the teachings Of George Washing
ton, that secret organizations were
dangerous to republican liberty, and
in the teachings of Thomas Jefferson
that no man should be prescribed on
account of his religion. He main
tanned that neither Irishmen nor 9TH
er foreigners should be ostracized or
oppressed by reason of their religi-
Gus faith or their nationality.
He accepted the nomination and
though at the outset the Know
Nothing party had an enrolled ma
jority of ten thousand of the entire
voters Of the state, he entered upon
one of the most remarkable cam
paigns in Virginia politics, and after
a brilliant canvass was elected by
ten thousand majority. "'"t

The French writer takes gloomy
view of the future:
Nobody even asks what will hap
pen tomorrow" he says. Everybody
is rushing wildly towards the abyss.
And when the statesmen are asked
How are you to get out of th.s?' they
ask their neighbors in other and more
fortunate nations. How are you going
to get US out Of thiS?' For they rea-

marks. Nobody knows their real
value, and each person unlucky
enough to be interested therein at
tributes a different value to them
according to the date, the hour of the
day, and even the business for which
they are used.
For il seems that in Germany not

worth about two one-thousandths of

as in the old days.
Every sane idea of value has dis

1T is said that in 1914 Germany
