fold on the outside 0f the roof, and from this
sesfold. by an ingenious arrangement the cap
stone. with Its copper apex. will be put In place
by workman, who will then come down through
hole left in the stone for the purpose.
The thrust OF the roof against the walls is
overcome by iron rods connecting the opposite
sides.
THE PEEP HOLES.
In the lower course of roof stones two wide
window openings will be cut On each side at a
height convenient for the eye. This will give
an outlook from eight windows at the height OF
500 feet, or, rather SIT feet above the ground.
ELECTRICAL EQUILIBRIUM.
Speaking Of the copper point on the summit
stone, Col Casey said that it would be connected
with the iron columns already mentioned, which
he had connected with the we'll under the mon
ument when he began work. This, he said, had
served to maintain the electrical equilibrium
between the upper air and the ground and the
shaft had not been struck by lightning since he
had had charge Of the work, though it had been
struck before.
MEMORIAL STONES.
A closing word about the memorial stones
As stated, there are ninety yet on hand; not
counting one in the river-the stone sent by
the pope which was broken up and thrown
there during the know nothing excitement.
Some OF these stones-those from foreign gov
ernments and states In the Union-should have
a place In the monument. But there is cer-
tainly no good reason why the work should be
defaced with stones from scattering corporations
military organizations and fire companies (some
of them now extinct), which stones in many
cases bear the names, prominently craven, Of
the stonecutters who carvedthem These stone
cutters may have been very good Zen in their
way, and worthy Of having their virtues set
forth in eulogistic inscriptions on their tomb
stones if their patrons were willing to pay tor
and allow such advertisements but that is no
reason why pOsterity should be eternally con-
fronted with the names of Smith. Jones and
Brown on the monument erected to the men,

Advice to CoIcred Voters

The opinion of T. Thomas Fortune, the
editor of the New York Globe, the negro
organ, expressed in a letter to the Color
ed Conference at Pittsburg is not origi-
nal with him. He says: The race in
the south should be taught that the ma
tional republican party has neither the
power nor the inclination to relieve their
burdens, or to remedy their condition.
This can only be done by making honor
able conditions with the dominant party
in the south; by cultivating division of
the white vote upon local, not race is
sues: by ceasing to look to the national
government for protection, which has
studiously denied it, and to look to the
state governments, which alone can give
it."

NihiiiStS in America.

Cincinnati Times-Star.
This nation is quite willing to assist
England or any other government in
hunting down the dynamite devils who
make America their headquarters: but it
should be understood that America en-
phatically disclaims responsibility for the
existence of this class Of desperate char
acters. These devOtees of dynamite are
not the product OF our civilization or po-
Htical system. The tree of liberty bears
no such fruit. European depotism is
alone to blame for the social and pOliti-
cal conditions out of which has grown
the element that lives but to destroy.
Oppression nurtures the hand that will
stab the oppressor. Of England specially,
it must be said that her tyrannical abuse
OF power for centuries in the government
of Ireland has led naturally to the result
which the world now itnesses-murder-
Gus plots of organized bands of men. dis

tendish desire to kill and burn. The

phase Of nihilisn. The word is hated
here. Whatever the government can
do 10 suppress the operations Of dynami-
ters on this side Of the water will be
done. But there il not the slightest ad-
mission that we are responsible to the

10 aid England to prevent the horrible
work Of assassination which is due direct
