During 'this session of the Grand i

bor"'-A .Splendid Trib
ute to the Immortal
of South's Gre*t
Statesman,
Jouisville Courier-Journal, May 4th.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
aily Observer, of the good city of
,hdrlotte, in the renowned Old Tar
tate, -calls our attention-the Ob
erver leaves nothing unnoticedl
o a case of oversight, not of neglect,
n the part of the Courier-Journal.
The Courier-Jotirnal was in a rem
niscent mood. The past put its
Duch upon it-the tragic past-and,
, little tearfully, let us confess, -it was
aoki;g backward ,over the darkling
assageway of the years that will
ever come again, piled up with the
'eloved and mighty dead. It had
aken. a flock of its younger readers
tpon its lap in a caressing, grand
aotherly .way and was telling them
lie story, the melancholy 'story, of
lie grand ''old ship o' Zion,'' their
athers' flagship, "Democracy.''
(Brother Caldwell, after our Broth
r Tompkins has led in prayer, will
rou please join us in singing that
ood old song
''Slie has carried 11any .thousands,
And shall carry 'hany m.ore ''-)
Well, as 'we were saying, the Cou
ier-Journal was telling how, once
pon a time, a wicked old witch,
[aied F16res1Silver had stolen aboard
n the deadof night and had drugged
lie drink of the cre.w whilst they
lept, so that when they awoke and
ook their morning draught they fell
nto a stafe of frenzy; and knowing
ot what they did, they rose in mut
ny and rage against their faithful,
rained, and courageous officers, send
g tiemdrift in a leaky boat. to the
nhMpitable shores of a desert island
. be heard of nevermore, and ptutting
ai their places a number of new, un
ried, andi unskillful helmsmen. And
hen how, though all of thifi had
cen riding triumphant the safe
eptlis of mid-ocean, the winds came
nd howled, and the waters hissed
nd roared, and the waves leaped
iountain-high, until *the ship, having
o pilot, floundered hither and thither
t the mercy of the elements, the poor
ailors, quite at their wits' end, ran
tlast iito the breakers and upon the
ocks. ' 'Protection,'' which people
hought had been sent to the bottom
ears before, but which somehow,was
ept afloat and refitted and ordered to
en again, came sailing along that
,ay. And, how she was well fixed to
o the free-booting of her owners,
lessrs. High Tariff, High Finance
ompany ! How she was iron-clad be
w time water-line, and steel-plated
bove it; how she carried tons of sto
mi money for ballast.; how her o ces
vere not naval heroes, but super
argoes carefully selected from a f'a
-ored class and richly p)aid1; how she
cas manned not by sailor-men, but
y poor work-peCople, some of themi
[uped into the service, but most of
hem imp)ressed ; amnd how she had
ceen turned loose to drive off the high
eas the very emblem of America, to
arni the 'olmmnerce of the world aw"av
rom our coasts, and to dlefenil the
3hinese wall erected at the plell's
xpense, for' the sole benefit of the
lose-corporation of speculators and
'illijona ires whlmichi had chartered her,
nd was running hpr for .al- she .was
r'o'r:th,. tIhe black flag of piracy flying
t her masthead !
This wretehea hullk, ''Protection,''
oir nderneath the, iron clothing and
he steel plating, all w~as worn out
nmd rott'enm, eame full of conceit sail
ing that way, and spied our poor old
'Ship o' Zion '' in her most awful
'light, water-logged and unprovision
d, unarmed except for the bows-and
rrows which had been improvised
uit of timbers yet sound, through and
birough; but still brave and full of
glht!
These things, the Old Lady at the
forner--as heire in Louisville the Cou
icr-Journal is sometimes called-wes
elling the nice little Democratic boys
nd girls, who had gathered about her
mnee and climbed into her ever-op~en
rms, crying, ''GIran'ama,' tell us a
toy, '' and ''Gran 'ma, tell us some
ore.'' And she was already ''get
in' powerful choked and mighty dis
orgitful,'' as Uncle Remus - wohd
ay. It had been particularly hard
or her' to talk about tIhe dead, about
kseek and( *Welhs and IHurd anid ''the
ear old parseO Meeiat' Moore,
nmd thme rest. If she liad-got to Vance,
'superb 01(d Zeb Vance,'' that would
ave done her up ''fo' slio'.'' ' Yet
;d,' after this long p)relude, h'e wve
each thme matter at issue-the Char
)tte Observer rises up in meeting and
nys:
'lIn this enumeration of 'the giants
f the old debate' Senator Vance
hould certainly have been ineln4ded.
Vhen L4nnator Benk died his tn.
fll'xupou: Senator Vance, who, by hit
Oral ability and close study of 41io
subject made himself the mastdr of it
and th moat fQrmidable speakr and,
debater in the. senate on the side of
thorevonie tariff men."
Hark'e, friend and fellow-student,
did'st never .as* a hundred nobodieA
to a party, and forget your next-door
neighbor? Well,* that was it-oply
that and nothing more; for, to omit
from the list of the Giants'of those
Days, the name of Vance, were to
leave out Sidney from the age of
Elizabeth, Rupert from the Cavaliers,
who fought Cromwell, and Nathaniel
Green, from the Field Marshals, that
surroun'ded Washington in the War
of the Revolution.
Vance stood all by himself, a char
acter, a personality, an intellect, an
influetice quite his own. He had in
deed studied the question, and haA
studied it like the thinker and the
scholar that he was. When Beck fell,
and his mantle, rough when it was
new, but old and ragged and worn
fell with him. Vance gently picked
it up and laid it sadly away. He did
not put it on. It would not have fit
him and he did not need it. He wore
already a mantle of his own; a man
tie made of splendid stuff and richly
lined; beneath whose'folds he carried
for. ready use, wit and philospohy,
poetry and eloquence and learning
to which the great, rugged, tireless,
pulsant matodon Beck made small
pretelnsion--and along with these, a
heart as big as a-meeting-house.
Gods, with what strokes he smote
the Money Devil; with what satire
and invective; with what kilowledge
of the old beast's peculiar curives;
with what proplietic instinct and
reach of arm; and, lord, lord, how he
did knock them out with that won
drious disl)lay of power and pathos
when he once recited them ''The Song
of the Shirt.O'' Who that heard it
will ever forget those tones as, stand
ig in the senate, surrounded by the
afftorneys of Mammon, in the very
teeth of the Gray Wolves, lie began
slowly, almost solemnly:
.''With lingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread.''
And this, with its wailing note
''For its oh, to be a slave,
Along with the barbarous Turk,''
And this
'It is not linen you'r. wearing out,
But human creatures lives.''
And this
'Oh. rod, that bread should be so
dear,
And, flesh and blood so cheap.''
Forget him ? Leave him out H ilim,
who fought with both Beck and Car
lisle, smiting the mailed legions of
the Yellow Rich, hip and thigh-who,
with Tom Corwin aiuK our own Proe
tor Knott )oured a flood of sunshine
as well as wisdom an(d learning into
the p)ublic life of their t ime-making
for the genius of American statesman
ship a gentler sidle and leaving to all
time a b)lessed and immortal Trinity
--leave him out? And at the p)recise
miomenit when Democracy, which he
served so valiantly and loved so well,
seems to be regaining its anagosity,
recove rinig its pirestige and return
ing to thle one muodern issue on wvhich
it has carriedl the countrmy; the key to
the t-rend of' the times; the cue to the
political future; to wit: that internal
taxation must be laid equally on and
for'all p)eople, and( that the ~impos)0t
dluties, collected at the Custom House
shall be ''for revenue only?'' Forget
him-? Not on your life I

her -great and loe'ed ones; but among

the -ge)vernor, nor y'et of Vance, thme

Vance.'
Have we succeeded in squaring the
oversight and of making it clear to
you, Brother Caldwvell?
The p)eople who win their way into
the inmost .recesses of other's hearts
are not, you will. find, usually the
most brilliant and gifted, but those
who have sympathy, p)atience, self
forget fulness and that indefinable fac
ulty of eliciting the better nature of
others.

GREAT REGATTAS.
Wil Be 11d on Hampton Roa4s Dur
ing Jamestown Exposition 1907.
Clharles Frederick Stansbuty.
Not-folk, Va., l:Ay I I, '06.
Yaclitgniei all over th .vorld are
turning their eyes toward Homliton
lloads, where in 1907, during the pe
riod of the Jamestown Exposition
there will be the largest and most
beautiful assemblage of everything
that floats or sails, from a warship to
a catboat, that has ever been dreamed
of by the most imaginative sailor man.
Every Amerian knows that Hamp
ton Itoads is an estuary of th'e Chesa
peake Bay, reaching from a point
within Capes Charles and Henry to
the mouth of the James River, where
it widens into a beautiful land-lock
ed hay, forming a safe harbor capa
ble of comfortal1ly accommodating
the navies of the world with the mner
chant marine thrown in. Schoolboys
recall with glowing eyes that here the
celebrated flght took place between
the Arerrimae and the Monitor within
sight of the green parapets of Fort
ress Monroe.
Upon this noble sheet of water
there will be held next -year a series
of regattas, races and acquatic events
oil a scale never before attempted and
with a marine aggregation drawn
from all parts of the earth. in the
presence of the navies of the world a
1multiliude of white-winged yachts will
ompeite for honors and trophies well
worth the effort.
C(ominanding a view of one huiindred
and sixty square miles of protected
water Way, the Jamestown Exposition
possesses an area for a naval, marine
and yachting exhibition such as has
beenl enjoyed by 1no other exposition
in the world's history. From the point
of view of a marine spectacle, alone,
it will be worth crossing oceans to
Witness.
MNily trophies and prizes will be
offered and m11ally new boats built to
conlthst for theilm. It seems probable
that a new and better era for yacht
ing, as a cleanl and noble sport will
(late roi the events to occur during
the Jamestown Expositiol. - Repre
sentative yachtsmen from tle United
States and Canada have joinedi hands
widi the Hampton Roads Yacht club
and the Exposition colpany to en
sure clean sport, equitable rules, a
fair field and no favor.
