If the State were redistricted according to Mr. Patton’s plan, there would be two district’s in which the Conserva tives would have majorities. I he friends of silver are taking no risks these days.” Suppose a “friend of silver” should be sent to Congress from this second Conservative-district— What then ? Would that relieve the awfulness of sending a Con servative ? Southern ami Northern School Hiutorle*. Kroui the UaUiaiore Hud. One of our Nsw York contem poraries takes violent exception to a series of school histories recom mended for use in the public schools of the Southern States by the Confederate Veterans’ Asso ciation. It shows from extracts from these histories that tlmy are written in a spirit of partisanship and sectionalism, treating the Southerners and the Northerners as distinct people and claiming the justice of the Southern cause. It is also alleged as, a grievous wrong that the occupation of the Southern States by the Northern armies is termed "an invasion” and that it is said that the North ern armies were “ruthless.” The effect of all partisan his tories is bad. We can see it illus trated in our school histories of the wai of the revolution. The spirit of animosity against Eng land for the tyranny of George III in pulling a tariff (ax on tea and for the ferocious conduct of the British soldiers during the war is carefully cultivated in all our public schools. In point of fact, all our school histories of the United States are largely occupied by the revolutionary war, and this portion of them is undoubtedly one-sided and partisan. School histories should, of all, bo the most absolutely fair and true, and if it can be done without the sac rifice of truth, things calculated to produce bad feeling should b« omitted. Ideas and impression received when wo aro young are the ones which are most tenacious ly held through life. It is, there fore, important that these ideas should be right ones. But if our contehiporary should examine into the Northern school histories as carefully as he has examined the Southern histories, he might find there the reason why the latter were written. No one unfamiliar with the tu'qeot would gather from the Northern histories that the right of seces sion was an ‘ open question until th« was settled it. The Southern people were fighting for a princi ple. They now and have for a quarter of a century admitted that the question has been settled, and idttled adversely to their conten- Go to H.
