It was at the tatter's request , but the expectation of the committee that the facts \\otild be set forth by Mr. Little sufficient to warrant tlie commission In taking notion was not realized. Mr. Little spoke of the affairs of the Atchl- Bon In a general way , but gave no particu lars on which prosecution could be baited.

WAR MUST LIVE AS HISTORY Some Features of the Conflict that Will Never Be Allowed to Die. ISSUES THAT SOUTHERNER } MUST GUARD Itov. Dr. Cme ISlan-oi Nortliorncra for Keep ing : Up Scctloiml I'ccllnj ; for Thirty Yours hut CluliiiH llutior fur Southern Dead , ST. LOUIS , Sept. H. At a meeting of tha lix-Confederato Historical and Ueneroleni association Hev. Dr. n. C. Cave of this city was invited to speak. He made an ad dress on the southern question , of which the following la a part : "We have held our peace for thirty years while the northern people have represented us as an Ignorant horde of rebels and traitors , battling only to hold human beings In the bonds of slav ery. It It Is true that the confederates were traitors and fought only for slavery , the best thing wo can do Is not to build a monument , tear down those that now stand , neglcpt the graves ot the southern dead until the beating rain smooths the little mound to the level of the plain and nature { cavers the place with Its broad mantle of ' green , and with It the shame tf the south land , 13ut if these men who followed Lee , Jackson and Missouri's Price are not traitors and rebels , but true hearted patriots , battling for their homes and nat ve land , wo ouo to them and lo ourselves to be firm and to fearlessly assert our rights. The time has come when our feelings and c.n- vlctlans must be crystallized into a form that shall be thundered down to future generations. It Is cald that the war la over , let ii rcet In pcucc ; that it Is a dead issue , but that Is sheer nonsense. The civil war. as a political Issue , la dead , but as a truth of history It can never die. As a political Issues used to create sectional hatred and feeling it ought to be dead. It lif not the south that has kept It alive as such for thirty years. "Tho northern people are the ones that have kept them alive. They are the ones that have appealed to the hatred for the south th.it they have In their bosoms to gain republican votes. We are willing to let the war dlo as a political Issue , but as a. trulh of history we can never afford to bury It. To the norhern ) man who necks to frighten us Into sllenco tlicro can be but ana answer. Whatever rights the south surrendered at Appomattox they never sur rendered the right to speak the truth and to preserve the honor and memory of the southern dead. To the southern man who thinks It Inexpedient to speak of these things now , and there are seme such , I am flrry to admit , I would say : We are di vinely called to Btaiul guard over these Is sues until the truth Is fully known.
