THE CHEY AND THE BLUE
To Meet at Gettysburg to Commemorate
Battle.
The first of next July there will j
be held at Gettysburg a series of
ceremonies in commemoration of the
battle fought there fifty years ago.
The ceremonies will be rather to indicate
that the bitter feelings aroused
by the war are of the past, and
the veterans of both armies will par-:
ticipate.
In answer to some criticisms of an
invitation for the veterans to join in '
the celebration, carrying the old
flags that led them in the battle,ard
wearing uniforms or not, as they
choose, Colonel Andrew Cowan of
Louisville, Ky, has written a letter
to the Gettysburg Star and Gazette
from which the following paragraphs
we quoted:
COL COWAN'S SENTIMENT.
The celebration of the fiftieth anniversary
of the battle of Gettysburg
will be the greatest oprortunity
our country has had since the
Civil war to strengthen the feelings
of friendship and good will between
the people of the Northern and
Southern States. Pennsylvania has
invited every State and Territory to
participate. Her splendid Governor j

eome awaits us, wherever we hail
from, or whatever may be the color
ef our coats.
Kentucky will be represented at
the celebration by the Governor, the 1
Hon James B McCreary; Gen Ben- <
nett H Young, Commander-in-Chief 1
of the U C V; Capt John H Leath- \
ers, of the Stonewall brigade, who 1
was wounded the first day at Get- i
tysburg; Capt George C Norton,who l
nerved with Longstreet's corps; Rear Admiral
John Crittendon Watson, U j <
S N,retired, bearing a noble record,1
and Andrew Cowan.who commanded : <
the first New York battery in the 1
"bloody angle" at the "clump of 1
trees" on Cemetery Ridge. I
I have said to my comrades of the i
GAR and to my friends of U C V 1
that this fiftieth anniversary of the <
battle will be a celebration of peace i
and good will. We shall meet on 1
the greatest battlefield of the Civil ]
war, and we shall remember that it i
is a field of glory, where honor and I
courage and patriotism inspired us, y
whichever flag we followed there, i
We should take part without subjec- <
tion to any restraint which is not i
natriotic and lawful. We '
? i ?
ahould,therefore,go there as individ- 1
vals, as posts of the GAR and as t
tamps of the U C V, wearing any ?
dress we choose. 1
We shall go there as survivors of
a war which no human power had ^
been able to avert. The victors in ?
Wue will greet, with open arms, the ?
vanquished in gray who fought there '
for a cause they believed was right, 1
fAnrrkt wol) Wp are now s

united in love for one country and t
one flag, but neither we nor they t
have ceased to love the flag that led ^
as in that fight. Bring them back s
from every State! The Starry Ban- c
ner and the Southern Cross! Unfurl c
them again at Gettysburg! The ?
elebration would be colorless with- I
out them. The "conquered banner" *
was furled at Appomattox?
"Yet 'tis wreathed around with glory, C
And 'twill live in song and story, s
Though its folds are in the dust"
c
? - - * * 1 Xl I
Bring them DacK, uniun mem j
again; and side-by-side with "Old t
dory" the soldiers of Meade and ?
Grant, and the soldiers of Lee and j
Longstreet, brave and loyal, will
arch together, with peace and good t
will,at Gettysburg. Spread the mes- e
sage throughout the land: 8
"Peace on earth, good will to e
men."
COL COWEN AT GETTYSBURG.
Few men living today had a great- ^
er part in the battle of Gettysburg p
lhau Col Andrew Cowan, and no n
statement carries more weight than c
his. As the commander of the first ^
New York battery, Col Cowan was e
at the place where Pickett's men n
hroke through the Federal lines. C
This was the crisis of the battle and ^
the "high tide" of Gettysburg.? ^

Hope of the South.
There is great need in the South
for us to give attention to the very
evils that overthrew Rome and are
ooisoning the life of Mexico?the increase
of tenantry and absentee landordism,
and the other forces that
iiake against the increase of independent
small farmers among us.
\nd with us the problem is further
complicated by the negro problem.
We should like to see the negroes
3wn the land they till, as we should
ike to see all other classes, but we
want to see them buy in colonies of
their own. In fact, it is very important,
in our opinion, for our people
to see that this policy prevails. In
communities where considerable
lumbers of white people are living,
sve cannot afford to have the negro
population become relatively so much
more numerous as to leave tly? white
population too small for an adequate
white society. The writer knows that
n his old home neighborhood, for
;xample, not a few white people have
moved away because the negro popllation
has become proportionately
? i 1 it. ? I
,uu targe aiiu uic wmtc ^upuiauuu
;oo small?too small to furnish
?nough white neighbors for the
vomen and children.
This is a tendency that calis for
/ery serious consideration and is the
nain reason why the writer believes
?very Southern State should set
ibout bringing to us just as many
;hrifty Northern and Western white
lettlers as we can get. We need
hem and need them badly?need
;hem to save the rural South to the
vhite race and provide the thickly
lettled, intelligent, thrifty white
:ommunities that we must have in
>rder to get the needed good schools
tnd roads and libraries and tele>hones
and social centers that the
ural South yet lacks.
To make the rural South a great
lemocracy of thrifty, home-owning
mall white farmers?this is our
>nly hope of becoming a permanenty
great and forceful section. And
he success of education,co-operation
tnd equal legislation in the South is
argely wrapped up with this very
natter of getting a greater proporion
of independent small farmers,

A BELL AND A BARGAIN. ;
Both Wero Well Handled by the Young
Man From Vermont.

tale, a tall, awkward looking chap. Just j
froui the Green mountains of Vermont.
went on board one of the North river
boats at Albany. His curiosity was
amazingly excited at once, and he commenced
"peeking." as he called it. into
every nook and corner of the boat
The captain's office, the engine room,
the barber shop, all underwent his inspection,
.aud then he went on deck
and stood in amazement at the lever
beam, the chimneys and various "tlx
in's" till at last lie caught sight of tin- |
bell. Tliis was the < rowning wonder. !
and he viewed it from every |>osition. j
j walked around it. got down on his
knees and looked up into it and ex
Ida:::-!: I
j "Waal, r'ally. this bents the bell 011
our meet in' house a darned sight:"
By this time the attention of the cap
tain and several of the passengers was
attracted to this genius.
"How much would you ask to let a
feller ring this bell?"
"You may ring it for a dollar, sir."
said the captain.
"Waal. It's a bargain, all fair and
agreed and no backing out?"
"Its a bargain, sir, saiu me cupiuiu.
Our hero went deliberately and
brought a seat and took bold of the
bell rope and. having arranged everything
to his satisfaction, commenced
ringing slowly at first and gradually
faster and faster till everybody on
1 board thought the boat on fire and
I tushed on deck screaming with alarm.
The passengers began to expostulate.
The captain said It was a bargain. But
the passengers became urgent that the
eternal clangor should be stopped. All
the while there sat our hero undisturbed.
ringing away more ways than
a cockney chime ringer ever thought
of. At last the captain began to think <
It time to stop the simpleton, but his *
oncu'or was*
"A fair bargain and no backing out!"
And be rang away for dear life.
"Well," says the captain, "what will
you take to stop?"
"Waal, cnp'n. 1 guess I shan't lose
nothing If I take $3 and a free passage
to New York, but not a darned cent
less!"
"Well, walk down to the office and
get your uioney and passage ticket."
said the captain, which Is why even In
those days there ran a saying. "Look
out for the young man from Vermont."?Harper's
Weekly.
Too Difficult to Retract.
The late Herr Gotthilf Weistein. the
famous German book collector, who
had a very bad impediment in his
speech, once got into an argument with
a man to whom he bad taken a great
dislike. The dispute became hotter and
hotter until Weistein completely lost
his temper.
"You're a f-f-M-f-f-Mool P' he shouted
furiously.
"Herr Weistein," replied his oppo
nent coldly, "you must retract that at
once!"
"Never!" retorted Weistein. "I'm
only too g-g-g-g-glad to g-g-get it out!"
Embarrassingly Enthusiastic.
Edwin Forrest once produced a play
called "Metamora." 8upers were engaged
to personate Indian warriors,
and among them was a bright Irish lad
who bad a deep admiration for the
great tragedian. At a point In the
play where Metamora asks, "Am I
not the g eat chief of the Pottawatomles?"
the supers are supposed to
grant "Ugh, ugh!" The stage manager
bad carefully drilled them In
what they were expected to do, but on
the night of the performance the

rnniiir Irishman was no tmnsnorted bv
Forrest's acting as quite to target that
be was impersonating an Indian. When |
Forrest turned to the assembled war- f
rlors and thundered forth. "Am I not |
the great chief of the Pottawatomiea?" |
the Irish boy's enthusiasm broke 1
through all restraint He leaped Into |
the air with a wild ?hout and twirled f
his tomahawk about bis head ato he re- 4

Got It Overboard. *
Once while in a foreign port Admiral 4
Dewey ordered the heaviest hoistiug $
tn#kle in the ship to be got out of the Z
hold without delay. Nobody knew t
what it was for. as there was nothing
Just at that time, either heavy or light, X
to be taken on board or sent ashore. $
After two hours' hard work the tackle %,
was in place, and Dewey, then ordered 1
that a large chew of tobacco which < >
bad been thrown under one of the J J
guns be hoisted overboard and damped < >
Into the sea. |4 4
