GETTYSBURG AND SAN JACINTO
The State of Pennsylvania offers to place
b statue nf Robert B Lee on the battle Arid
of Gettysburg This lb without precedent In
history There Is nn story told of con
querors erecting statues to the heroes of
the conquered It la magnificent American
Ism The Keystone State has touched the
heights in her offer Her people nro will

who led the Invnslon of her borders No
words can add sublimity to this act and
we bow to her In passing on to the next
Mie State of Illinois has ordered a statuo
of victory to be placed on tho field nf Shi
loh in momory of the men who there upheld
the honor of her name This statuo has cost
the fltate 30000
And Texas has given 1000 for a wire
fsnea around the bnttleliold of San Jacinto
Around the Hold whero after a struggle
against superior numbers nnd equipment
with ranks thinned by massacre and glorloitB
helfsacriflco a few men won tho froodom of
the Republic of Toxas
A wire fonco to keep out tho cattlo
This Is what Toxas has given to the field
where her liberty was won nut It has been
given and hope comes again and tolls of a
now legislature ono composed of courag
toiiB young Toxans whoso strong hands will
promptly wipe away tho stain of neglect on
the grand escutcheon of their State and tho
words will give conic Into tho mind
Shnll Tcxnns stand ashamed before Ioun

the neglected stretch of wild gras and

of men who turned with fierce wratli and

The blush of humiliation will oomo to the
cheeks of Texnns whon they think of what

DAD LEADER OF A GOOD CAUSE
If the statehood tight in tho senate wore
not being led by so notorious a political Job
ber P Mr QW I would excite moro pop
ulor sympathy But as It Is the case on Its
merits prosents anew the quostion of a clear
majority obstructed In recording their will
by a stubborn minority
Mr Quay has cleverly succeeded In get
ting his bill on tho track and under tho
rules of the senato it haB the rightofway
The opposition eon Indulge In prolonged de
bate and prevent a vote but they can not
put any othor measure to the front Tho
Ponnsylvanlan has furthor shown his par
liamentary resources by Introducing bis bill
as an amendment to each of the appropria
tion bills and having theso nmendmonts re
ferred to his own committee on organization
and comiuct of loglslatlvo departments
w > ern thfly are suro of a prompt and favor
able ropart
Unless the opposition can outflank him
1 by somo maneuver not apparently possible
under tho rules he hns tho case so ordered
that If tJioro Is no vote on tho statohood
bill thero will bo no action by tho sonato on
anything boforo ndjourranont But little
mbre than a month remains boforo tho con
press will explro by limitation of Its torm
and tho advocates of tho Cuban treaty nnd
other pet measures are placed In tho awk
ward position of being boholdon to Mr
Quay for action It may bo put down as a
certainty that tho artful politician will not
yield his ndvantago
Ho has but ono danger to fear Ills fol
lowing on tho statehood bill Is made up from
both parties nnd all factions Kach of theso
has somo matter of particular interest and
somo of them may desert him q miyo thorn
selves
No doubt there is something in tho state
hood fight besides what appoars on tho sur
face Aldrlch Piatt llannn Spoonor of
Connecticut Allison and Halo havo been rul
ing the senato as completely and as arbi
trarllr as Henderson DaUeil Payne and

In this caso It wJU bo an encouragement
to others hereaftor to opposo tho tyrannuous
leaders and several senators arc likely In
spired by this motlvo as well as by a slncoro
doslro to poo tbo now States admitted
From this point of view the country has
an equal interest with tho advocates o state
hood It Is well enough for the sonato to
allow tho freest debate and tho moat delib
erate consideration of pending measures It
Is well too that a minority has rights which
a majority can not altogether despise But
In democratic government tho majority must
finally prevail and It Is qulto tlmo that tho
United States ecnato broko down tho arbi
trary domination of n small cotcrio of lead
ers who havo shown no consideration for
other than tho measures of an arrogant par
ty cabal nnd a dictatorial administration
So whllo tho public will rather regret to
sco Mr Quay obtain any considerable Influ
ence In tho senato his success In thlB caso
will be causo for rejoicing since It will mean
tho passage of a meritorious bill and a check
upon a sot of conceited leadors
EPIDEMIC DISASTERS

spire carelessness or malice as If the spirit
of destruction in a virile mood had hypno

is undoubtedly true that suggestion Is a
force In mental process Many persons who
had not thought of It before have beon moved
to commit suicide by hearing of other cases
of selfdestruction Probably much crime
primarily originates and possibly the ab
sentmindedness or mental cnnfiiffion which
causes train wrecks is induced in tho same
way That there Is a subjective mind or subcon
sciousness operating Independently of tho
objective mind or supra consciousness and
oftontimns contrary to volition is tho well
established fact upon which hypnotism Is
scientifically based This mind Is more sen

mind and perhaps receives impressions
which would bo unintelligible or repulsive to

Treat the South Fairly
Leslie1 Weekly
It would seem only necessary to consider this whole matter of the appointment
of colored men and women to public office North or South from a calm dispas
sionate and so far as possible unprejudiced point of view to avoid all the con
troversy and illfeeling which have been lately stirred up over this subject Every
Intelligent person in this country must understand by this time exactly how tiie
Southern people feel about such appointments and what the general sentiment is ttj
that section of the Union in regard to the appearance of members of the colored
race in any prominent political way Even those who regard this sentiment as
wrong must admit that Its existence is In no way remarkable or surprising That
it does exist we all know and we know also that this feeling is deep fixed and
apparently Ineradicable We also know and wilt admit if we are frank about it
that much the same feeling obtains in the North
In theory tve of the North regard the negroes as entitled to equal rights
privileges and recognitions in polities and business with ourselves But as a mat
ter of fact we believe nothing of the kind
Our practices here at least are almost an antipodal distance from our the
ories There are in truth few neighborhoods in the North where a colored man in
any conspicuous official position would be much more welcome than he is In the
South Especially would this be true in a small postoffice the worst of all possible
places to put a person who for any reason is socially obnoxious
Booker T Washington the Wisest and ablest living colored man with his char
acteristic discretion and good sense has refrained from expressing himself on the
particular issue under discussion but he has frequently laid down general prin
ciples for the guidance of his people which are applicable to the present case It
is his teaching that the negroes should not try to force the issue cither as to social
or political recognition but should devote all their energies for the present to self
development to industrial education to their elevation in the scale of manhood and
citizenship trusting to time and the changed conditions which such efforts on their
part will bring about to melt away social and political prejudices When the co
orcd race he says has made itself worthy of the recognition it seeks the recogni
tion will be given Neither the holding of public office nor even the exercise of
political rights is in Mr Washingtons view the thing of most immediate and vital
importance to the colored people nor arc they absolutely essential at present to
their happiness prosperity and contentment
Numberless opportunities arc free nnd open before negroes in this country
today as before whites to make the most and the best of themselves and this is
as true in the South as it is in the North Only harm can come to both white and
blacks from stirring up racial prejudices and antagonisms when 110 just occasion
exists for such action This is sagacious and practical counsel and it applies di
rectly to the present case of public appointments in the South It U worse than
folly for us to butt our hends against the solid wall of Southern sentiment on this
question To persist in such action can only result in the further embittcrment of
Southern feeling and still further widen the separation between the two races in
that section
It is not as if some great and vital principle were involved on which the future
wellbeing of the colored race depended and on which no compromise could be wfcly
or properly made It is only a situation calling for the exercise of Uct patience
forbearance and above all of plain common sense
Venezuela has complied with all these demands
the powers will doubtless find other things for
her to comply with
You khnuld take at least one more trip down
the bayou before it becomes a deep waterway
densely packed by the argosies of the world
France claims to hold first lien on Venezuela
and will not subordinate her claims to those of
any other power Franco evidently docs not
believe in this after you my dear Alphonse
way of doing business
The house has passrd a bill permitting a step
father to marry his stepdaughter It would take
more than a bill making it legal to make a man
marry his motherinlaw

Representative Cushman of Washington felt
called upon to defend in the house yesterday the
climate of Alaska against the assaults of writers
who he says write four columns about the
sublimity of the Muir Glacier and the beauties
Of the floating iceberg and never a line about
agriculture There is enough frozen metaphor
in the poetry about Alaska to blight the hloont of
the tropical zone
It may surprise you gentlemen Cushman
continued but at Sitka the capital of Alaska
It never gets cold enough to freeze ice in the
winter and the residents of that favored spot
have to import their ice from the United States
There was an Alaska prospector who lived for
two winters under the shadow of the Arctic cir
cle He started for New Vork City He had
got along very well with the weather in Alaska
but when he started across the northern end of
the United States in January he discovered in a
climatic sense that he was getting next the busi

He was cold when he got to St Paul he
was collier still when the breeze from the lake
struck him at Chicago and at Buffalo N Y
they found him frozen to death stiff as an alpen

SOME LEADING EDITORIALS
Indianola In Congress
From the Memphis CommercialAppeal
The resolution introduced in congress calling
for the papers in the Indianola case will serve
a good purpose provided nothing is concealed
It will be interesting to know just what repre
sentations were made to the president and who
made them There has been much confusion as
to the facts According to the first reports it
seemed thnt Minnie Cox had been compelled to
resign by the threits of the people Pretty soon
very vigorous denials were made that any intimi
dation was used She had been asked to resign
and she sent in her resignation But it matters
very little whether the woman was threatened
or not the president has gone about the matter
the wrong way It is very questionable whether
he has any authority to abolish a postoffice for
any such reason On this point it is to be hoped
that the congressional inquiry will shed some
light
As the Commercial Appeal pointed out several
days ago there is a perfectly legal way to reach
those persons who have interfered with a Fed
eral official in the discharge nf his duty Wc
suggested that what the president should have
done was to institute proceedings against those
persons guilty of violating the law Instoad ot
that he blots Indianola from the postoffice map
nnd punishes all the people of that town alike
There is a considerable negro population there
which no doubt sides wlth Minnie Cox and
they are deprived of their mail facilities A good
many whites there did not join in any of the
alleged demonstrations against the woman and
they are punished like the rest It seems to us
that the presidents act was an inexcusable
stretch of his authority Certainly it shows a
singular conception of justice when the innocent
are made to suffer with the guilty It is to be
hoped that the Inquiry will clear up the atmos
phere
Poatoffices For Whose Benefit
From the Atlanta Journal
If the various and almost numberless postof
ficcs in the United States arc instituted for the
convenience and benefit of persons who live in
reach of them it is an indisputable fact that the
persons who are intrusted with the privilege of
handing out the mail should be acceptable to the
resident population
Everybody is aware that the penalty is a heavy
one when a postmaster or postmistress tampers
with letters and violates the trust committed to
their care Such penalties are laid and enforced
for the proper custodianship of private or busi
ness letters It is a selfevident proposition that
the man or woman whether white or black as
the case may be should be a person who can be
relied upon to do their duty in the premises
A postmaster or postmistress susbains or should
sustain a somewhat confidential relation towards
every person who sends or receives a letter or
package through their particular office
If for any reason whatsoever a postmaster or
postmistres is objectionable to the persons who
send or receive wail at any particular point
through any postoffice the people who are served
should have the right as well as the privilege of
petitioning for a change in officials The right
ot petition is not to be denied to this business of
mail facilities It is an inherent right because

POEMS YOU 8HOULD KNOW
My Uninvited Guest
BV MAV RILEY SMITH
One day there entered at my amber door
A presence whose light footfall on the floor
No token gave and ere I could withstand
Within her clasp she drew my trembling hand
Intrusive guest I cried my palm I lend
But to the gracious pressure of a friend I
Why comest thou unbidden and in gloom
Trailing thy cold gray garments in my room
I know thee Pain Thou art the sullen foe
Of every sweet enjoyment here below
Thou art the comrade and ally of Death
And timid mortals shrink from thy cold breath
No fragrant balms grow in thy garden beds
Nor slumbrous poppies droop their crimson heads
And well I know thou comest to me now
To bind thy burning chains upon my brow 1
And though my puny will stood straightly up
From that day forth I fjrank her pungent cup
And ate her bitter bread with leaves of rue
Wfiich in her sunless gardens rankly grew
And now so long it is I scarce can tell
When Pain within ray chamber came to dwell
And though she is not fair of mien or face
She hath attracted to my humble place
A company most gracious and refined
Whose touches are like balm whose voices kind
Sweet Sympathy with box of ointment rare
Courage who sings while she sits weaving there
Brave Patience whom my heart esteemeth much
And who halh wondrous virtue in her touch
Such is the chaste and sweet society
Which Pain my faithful foe hath brought to me
And now upon my threshold there she stands
Reaching to me her rough yet kindly hands
In silent truce Thus for a time we part
And a great gladness overflows my heart
For she is so ungentle in her way
That no host welcomes her or bids her stay
Yet though men bolt and bar their house from
thee
To every door O Pain thou hast a key
LawMaking by Paroxysm
New York Evening Post
In repealing the tricky anthracite duty and en
acting a rebate or duties on all kinds of coal for
one year congress has given one exhibition more
of an unfortunate tendency which has been grow
ingly strong of late We mean the tendency to
legislate piecemeal and hysterically The coal
duties were stricken off spectacularly and as
San Juan hill was carried by a popular uprising
rather than by deliberately reasoned tactics A
Keneral outciy seems to be necessary before con
gress will budge The whole country has to re
solve itself into a kind of Coxcys army and
move on Washington before congressional inertia
can be overcome Then congress falls into a
paroxysm of activity such as it displayed yes
terday and even the senate < an leave off airing
its vocabulary and pass 1 bill without debate
The method is not one we think to add to
the dignity of congress It places the National
legislature too much in the position of standing
stubbornly on its privilege until the mob appears
at the window and then suddenly doing what it
had silid could not be done The respect of the
people for legislators whom they have periodical
ly to hold up in order to compel them to an
act of justice can not be greatly heightened in
the process Legislation framed in fear and writ
ten into law under duress is not a very exalted
form of the art of statesmanship Where we
look for prescient representatives anticipating
the popular wish and providing far in advance
for a public emergency we do not like to find
timorous souls who wait for a hurricane of in
dignation to show them which way to bend their
supple joints

The United States have been asked to join it

a of nations for
the purpose of re
establishing silver on a parity with gold at a
ratio of 33 to 1 This would give silver a fixed
