This curious’condition be gan over two weeks ago, ’anti still continues. In a way the same ap plies to the moon, which about, the time it was full alss presented a dnll red appearance, in place of the usual silvery white. This condition seems to apply ov er the entire country, being made the subject of comment by several pa pers. The Spartanburg Journal says; About the middle of March the sun and moon began to grow dim until now they refuse to give the usual light for which they were created. Although there are no clouds the sun struggles up slowly In the morning as though he had been keeping lat hours. After while a great red globe appears and even when an hour or two high no ahadows are cast Dur ing' the whole d*y the tight la cut off by a heavy haze, and as It sinks toward the horison it be comes Invisible before sunset. There Is little twilight. The moon, full orbed, whirls her way across the heavens, but gives little light.” From New Orleans comes the re port that the negroes are greatly frightened t nd that the whl*e peo ple attending Good Friday services were a little shaken when they saw the sun darkened and refusUg to shine. Their wise men In th.U cl.y say that it Is caused by volcanic dust brought from the volcanoes of Central America. Other like phenomena have been noted. Older people well remember how in the*fall of 1871 atmospherl; conditions were similar to the pres ent, and It was ascribed by popular belief to the great Chicago Are. A1 so during the late summer of 1885 for the period of several week there waa a peculiar sunset glow In the sky which began an hour or more before sunset and continued until after dark. Tradition telle that the most re markable dark day in this country occurred May 19, 178(1. It spread over the New England states and was most Intense In Massachusetts, began at 10 a. m. and contlued till E ldnlght. Candles had to be lighted read by and for candle work. The Connecticut legislature was in ses sion and one member moved that the house adjourn on account of the unusual phenomenon which indlcat ed the approaching judgment day Another member arose and opposed the motion, saying, that If judgment day was at hand, they would be in their places, attending to their duties and he made a motion that candles be bought. There have been dark days re corded from time to time In all coun tries. Various causes have been as signed. Volcanic dust, escape of va pors and exhalitions from the inter ior of the eath, smoke of burning forests, burning meteors, cosmlcal dust from distant regions of space, and clouds of dust from deserts, the tails of comets and heavy clouds so finely divided that the sun and moon are visible through them. There Is In the present appearance of the sun and moon nothing to cause and alarm. Such phenomena occur quite often, and while the cause Is not known no ill effects have ever been noted. * ) * > should*1 w skies 1 inhabitants, It Is jf hisping. gtars from Iheav- chosen “Worm- it the well-known aiessly visited 1 hundred times ur • ss much INVOLVES ALL NATIONS The War Will Be Commenced by the United States and Japan In a Quarrel Over China, and Will be 'V- ~ 4 .—* — 1 »— -—- Most Direful la its Far Reaching 55 MSS; fir «>. KEEP THE RECORD STRAIGHT By J. Colton Lynes. To the editor of the Atlanta Journal: IS his recent speech at Ogdenburg, N. Y., ex-Vice President Fairbanks Lincoln carried out his threat and issued his famous proclamation. This haa been glowingly represented aa the repeated the untrue and worn-out sun of righteousness arising, ss the 4IAYNOR FOR PRESIDENT. OBiseqwsBws. — *% The memoirs of Vies Admiral Fournier, commander of the Medi terranean squadron of the French navy; In- TWeh he discussed ‘partic ularly the possibility of a war be tween the United States and Japan and the resultant danger of drag ging all Europe Into a terrlfl" con flict, have just been Issued In book form at Paris. The memoirs have caused something of a sensation In political and diplomatic circles. Admiral Fournier accords the star role on the stage of international polhica to the German Emperor, not only In Europe, says the writer, where the Emperor Is trying desper ately to break the league of powo-s against him, but also Indirectly ae an influential factor In the relations be tween the United States and Japan. Admiral Fournier says tha; It Is useless to deny that there is a possi bility of war between the United States and Japan as a result of pop ular Irritation In America sbou'd Japan’s demands or Japan’s policies of absorption prove Intolerable to America’s excessive seif-esteem or interests In the Far East. These Interests, the admiral adds, are antagunistic to those of Japan, which, pushed on by fate 1 • expand in the Asiatic continent by conquest or diplomatic victory, seeks to become predominant In the very reg'ons which the United State® protects lu supporting the Integrity. o( China and policy of the open door. The admiral declares that Japan’s great fear Is that the friendly re lations between the United States and China will culminate in an ou* and out allegiance, and thus. In event of War, the United States would have a base of operations and general re sources vastly superior to the Phil ippines. Japan’s Increased arms ments, therefore, are explainable not as a menace to Russia, but In prep aration to combat before it is too late the peril contained in America's policies. Admiral Fournier thinks that the naval strength of the United States will one day not only exceed that of Japan, but probably will equal that of Great Britain, In spite of the ef fort of England to preserve her su premacy of the seas, and Japan's Inferiority would oblige her ally, England, to come to her aid In the event of a conflict with the United Statea Jn case of a hostile coalition of the United States with the triple al liance, the admiral believes, France would be forced to supplement the forces of England, Japan and Rus sia. He doubts, however, that the- Ger man Emperor, “although devoured by a desire to smash the league, and adopting a diplomacy as unscrupulous aa that of the Iron chancellor,' would enter on the perilous venture of such a war, which would offer little chance of victory on land or sea. Without the Intervention In Eu rope of the navies of the triple alli ance in a way to help the American fleet at the moment it was seriously engaged in the Atlantic and the Pac ifle, the decisive superiority In that struggle,” declares the vice admiral, “would rest with the forces of Ja pan and England. Under these con dltlons, which spell defeat, the Unit ed States would undoubtedly rests the temptation to settle her differ ences with Japan by an appeal to arms."

At one time it was thought that the wound behind his ear would prove fatal, but It was learned Tuesday that the Injury is not as serious as at first thought.

A sample ot wants to see-the place flourish; * phase about the war between the north and the south being fought to establish the freedom ot the negro slaves. (Mr. Fairbanks said: "The sword of the nation was drawn In order that the etjTmttty of men beneath the flag of the United States might become aOcddmltllshed, * living fact." Note that Br. Fairbanks says ‘the sword of the nation was drawn.” It is not difficult to understand Mr. Falrlmnks’ pretty conceit about that. Abraham Lincoln, however, never indulged it, and that really was one of G.e causes of the war. He would reeognlzo neither section ts “the nation,” but Insisted on that name being applied to the unbroken union of the states. Mr. Lincoln said -Ja plain words that the fate of slavery was not to be considered, that he would free the slaves or not as the one or the other course would the better serve to save the union. I do ’ ot intend t'' recrosch up >n your space with a detailed recital of violations of the principles laid down In the Declaration of Independence, and that basis of the confederailon known as the constitution of the Unit ed States. I will say at once that the war was fought for the principle and right of self-government. Is anything clearer In statement than this. “That governments derive their just powers from consent of the governed,” and are in- •uituted among men to secure their inatlenabie right of life, lib erty and the pursuit of happiness and that whenever any form of gov ernment become destructive of or falls to secure these ends, it Is the right of the people to alter or abol ish it, and to institute a new gov ernment laying Its foundations on such principles and organizing Its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safe ty and happiness.” I What, In all history, could more clearly define the right of the south ern states to withdraw from a union Into which they had, as soverlgn com munities, voluntarily entered; that the denial of that right was a viola tion of the letter and spirit of the compact between the states; and that the war waged by the federal govern ment against the seceding states was in disregard of the limitations of the constitution and destructive of inde pendence? In all free governments the con stitution or organic law Is supreme over the government, and In our fed eral union this was most distinctly marked by limitations and probibl tions against all which was beyond the expressed grants of power to the general government. At the very beginning, then, we may take the po sition that those who resisted viola tion of the compact were the true friends and those who maintained the usurptation of undelated pow ers were the real enemies of the con stitutional union. Sectional Issues appear consplc- iously In the debates of the conven tion which framed the federal con stitution In 1787, and its many com promises were designed to sect re an equilibrium between the sections, and to preserve the interests as wdIi as the liberties of the several state?. African servitude, at that time was not confined to a section, but was numerically greater In the south than in the north, with a tendency to its continuance in the former and cessa tlon in the latter. It, therefore, thus easily presents itself as a disturbing element and the provisions of the constitution, which were known to be necessary for Us adoption, bound all the states to recognize and protect that species of property. Wlhen, at a subsequent period, there arose in the northern states an anti-slavery agitation it w is a harm less and scarcely noticed movement until political demagogues seized up on It as a means to acquire power Mr. Davis, in his book, "R'se and fall of the Confederate Government,” says of this anti-slave agnation that ‘ Had it Seen left to pso.ido-phllan- tnropists and fanatics, mo-d zealous where least Informed, it n n ver could have shaken the foundaCj-a of the union and have Incited one section 10 carry fire end sworJ into the o'ber.” He has shown In the same work that the agLatio 1 waj pollti-il in character and was clearly devel oped as early as 1803. Before the var and during the war Mr. Lin coin said that ito purpose was not to free the slaves but co restore the union. The emancipation proclama tion, which when it wa- Issued, lie humorously admitted to be a nulity, had to be validated by the action of the highest authority known t > our institutions—the people assembled In their several state conventions. against over two million northern enMsted men.

Uoletoaa, the young man eharg- t from the fra- Cttjr Bask of Cambridge. Mast, ha took a hundred thousand dollars and that hlly every cent waa lost “try- hrenk a taro hank" in New umk 7 genius of liberty shattering every fetter, and so on and so on In many a hign-flown platitude, but the proc- lamation speaks for itself. Mr. Lin coln never claimed to be doing a philanthropic or benevolent thing. He wan a plain, direct man, and he blurted out the real truth of the metier In a blunt, unvarnished hon est way. He said he issued the proclamation by virtue of the power in me Invested as commander-in- chief of the army and navy of the United States in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and government of the United States, and as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion,” and then he proceeded to Justify his act as one ‘‘warranted upon military necessity.” I The "military necessity” was that, at that time, the Confederate forces stood before him invincible, a ser rled wall of steel. His best com manders had been out-generaled; bis finest armies had been overcome; the roar of the southern guns, the rattle of the southern sabre, the tramp of the southern infantry were resonant upon the air. Behind these magnifi cent troops were millions of content ed slaves who tilled the fields and furnished the troops food and for age. The slave must be roused to mutiny and turned loose upon the rear of the southern army, just as In the Revolutionary war Greaf Britain had stirred up the Indians and then launched them at the back of the colonists. The fields must remain fallow, so that the armies should remain un fed. The Internal peace of the south must be broken so that troops must be withdrawn from the front to re store order. This was the ‘‘military necessity” which led to the eman cipation proclamation. It was a cruel and shrewdly derived thunderbold of war, but, to the credit of the southern jlave, and for which he should have a monument—It failed. He remained quietly at home tilling the field and supporting the soldiers; he was the happiest, the most con tented, the best fed, and longest-liv ed laboring class the world has ever known. By the terms of this celebrated proclamation emancipation was spe cifically restricted to »o much of the south as was in arms. The slaves of Maryland, of Delaware, of West Vlr glnia, of Kentucky, of Tennessee, of Missouri, of tide-water Virginia, and of half of Louisiana were to remain slaves, or, as the document Itself puts it, were ‘‘left precisely as If this proclamation were not Issued.” When anyone hereafter tells you that the Confederate soldiers died In an effort to maintain slavery, point to the federal statute book and say. here is the proof that he fought for Independence, and not slavery, for, here Is the promise that if he would renounce Independence he might retain slavery. The truth remains Intact and In convertible, that the existence of Af rlcan servitude was in no wise the cause of the conflict, but only an incident. It Is said that the Confederate soldier was a foe to republican In stitutions and fought to tear do the constitution. The fact Is the military glory of the southern Con federacy hag so far overshadowed its civic renown that few, very few, know anything of the principles upon which the government of the Con federate States was based. The Confederate constitution was framed amid the mutterlngs of im pending war, and, after a brief and stormy existence, ceased to be opera tive. It was never well known and is now almost forgotten. Desuetude and oblivion have been Its portion, but for all that its history and prin ciples are worthy of the most care ful consideration at the present day That history lies upon the shelf, as It were, unotlced and unguarded, like a jewel long overlooked, but when we brush off the dust and let In the sunlight the diamond will be found a diamond still. The Confederate constitution was modeled on that of the United States, and so modeled because the atfte- bellum south loved the organic law of Us fathers. It was framed by deputies chosen by the South Caro lina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mis sissippi, Louisiana and Texas seces sion conventions, and from the Jour nals of these bodies it abundantly appears that the south revered the constitution of the United States and never would have seceded if the north had In good faith respected and conformed to that document. When the South Carolina conven tion adopted its ordinance of seces sion It issued an address In justi fication of that step, and in this ad- Very Little Rainfall During the En tire Month- March closed Thursday with the distinction of being the second dry est March in the history of the Unit ed States weather bureau, the rain fall being .63 of an inch, with almost this entire amount being recorded on the first day. The record at Char leston show only one March which was dryer and this was In 1887, when only half a Inch of rainfall wag corded Jin both Instances the very small fall is remarkable. The normal is more than two inches. During the p$£)od from January 1 to AprH 1 the deficiency aggre gates 4.92 Inches. If it were not for the heavy rain In February, the dryness of the weather would be still greater and more remarkable. The temperature Is running pretty close to the normal, the aggregate show ing to date an excess of about 25 degrees about the normal. The dryness of the weather is im proving a source of much uneasiness to the truck people. Rain has been wanted for weeks and It is figured that a few good showers would now work wonders tor the farmers. The comet has nothing to do with the lack of rain, as some people seem to think. March of last year had plenty of rain and the latter part of the month was quite cold, but it is dlffereht thi&i March. many still believed, that the south was fighting to maintain slavery In this proclamation Mr. Lincoln stated that In all the southern states which might re-enter the union by January 1, 1863, the institution of slavery should remain under the con- IroJ of thole staiSi shd W rtitalbed or relinquished as they might see fit But, said the proclamation, tf you do not re-enter the union by that date I shall then declare yous slaves free.
