Aside from recognition that in tho
past our national policy Of avoidance Of
ertang]ing alliances with foreign powers
has been wise, there are in sight to-day
many facts which tend to strengthen the
belief that the people OF the United
States will be happier and richer, both
in the near future and in all time to
come, ifno departure from our tradi-
tional policy Of national independence
lis now countenanced, either by The peo-
pie or their represen satives. There is
undoubtedly a strong desire in the minds
of many to have this nation take a
more prominent part in the councils Of
nations, but this desire shoald be check
ed rather than encouraged. The doc
trine OF Washington's farewell address
to his countrymen is just as sound now
and just as applicable to the present
situation Of atfsirs as it was nearly =
hundred years ago.

LEE AND GRANT.

Perhaps Atlanta has INDUCED in more
stuff and sentimental nonsense over the
death Of General Grant, than any other
Southern community. But it has re-
iENsiRsdfsrsav Georgian, a Doctor some
86dyj, 20 Gap the climax Of absurdity
proposing that dual monument
kbSzsrected to Lee and Grant. Could
anything be more ridiculous ? Could
any two be found more dis@imilar in
character, in thought, in life, or in
death than these two whose names are
proposed 10 be commemorated by
q joint monument. The proper Gu
logy of the one would be wholly inap-
plicatle to the other. And the fulsome
praise NJ the one would be utterly in
compatible with the memory Of the
other.
On Virginia soil, under the caves ofthe.
institute Of learning, whore the great
and good Lee spent the last years OF
his life in dignifed retirement, leading
and forming the minds or youths,
a loving and grateful people, have
raised a marble shaft to his name. The
people Of tho North will not do less
: for General Grant. Let; those South
ern men, like the Georgia Doctor, who
desire to contribute to that end, do so,
there is no objection to ii. But don't
ask ns of the South to beg of the people
OF the North to join the name Of Lee
with that Of Grant on any marble shaft
they may erect to him. 1t does not
need that we go begging that honors be
done TO the name Of our immortal hero.
His shrine, his monument is in the
u hearts Of those who loved and rcvcred
him, and who will hand down that love
and reverence to their posterity as a,
heritage Of priceless value. 30 history
OF this century however partisan or
incomplete can bedim or bclittlc the
name and fame OF Robert E Lee.
Moreover such propositions as this
give to Northern people and papers tie
opportunity whilst rejecting the pre-
posal to speak in disparagement Of. the
Southern chieftan.
We can afford at least in the matter of
paving respect to the memory Of our
..!deld to stand and act alone.
The two who grappled and fought the
battles Of giants on earth. have passed
beyond its pale. Their regulations for
greatness rest upon views Numerically
opposed. And the circumstances that
gave them fame are so adversely regard

Death of VIM. KeeIine.

The death of William Keeline, which
occurred Saturday forenoon, lis n of the
saddest events which has lately been
chronioled. For a quarter of a century
he has been closely and actively Identified
with the growth and prosperity of Coun.
ell Bluffs, and has gained the friendship
and esteem Of many by his kind heart
edness and helpfulness. MI. Keeline
a a native of Germany, and had reached
his 56th year. He came to this country
with his parents when he wss but II
years of age, and settled In Wheeling,
West Virginia, where he lived until
reaching manhood. Twenty-three years
ago he was married to Miss Emma Nor
ton, who has proved a noble wife
to him. He also leaves one son,
VIM. G. Keeline, and q brother,
Mr.. George Keeline, besides several
grandchildren. His last illness has been
prolonged and suffering. For nearly four
months he has been confined to his bed,
and during the past two weeks has grad
ually been sinking until he fell into the
long sleep. Some time before his death
he requested that his body should be
taken to Wheeling, and there laid at rest
beside his father and mother, and In
compliance with this request the remains
were taken there yesterday. A service
WAS held at the family residence here
yesterday afternoon, under the auspices
of the Odd Fellows and Knights Of
Pythias, Of which orders he was a mem,
Der, and a large number of Borrowing
friends and neighbors accompanied the
remains to the depot.

COUNCIL BLUFFS,
ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.
MOODY TONIGHT.
The Great Evangelist Will Appear ~
the Opera House This
Evening,

D. L. Moody, whose name is enough
to draw q crowd, Is to be at the opera
house this evening. The announcement
that he was to appear In Omaha several
days this week caused q great desire
among many here to go over there and
hear him, but the seating capacity Of the
Baptist church Of hat city is not large
enough to accommodate the rush that
there will be from Omaha and surround
ing points. Free tickets are Issued
to these meetings in order
to limit the attendance
to such number as can be accommodated,
and attempts here to secure these tickets
for Council Bluffs people have proved al
most frultless, 80 great Is the demand for
them. In view Of these circumstances
arrange ments have been made for Mr..
Moody to spend this evening here, and
the opera house has been secured for the
meeting. This will prove an accommo-
dalton to hundreds of Council Bluff
people who would otherwise
have no opportunity to hear the great
evangelist. Mr.. Moody will arrive from
Des Moines this evening, hold his meet.
Ing, and go over to Omaha tomorrow
morning to attend the meetings there
this week.
Tickets are being Issued tothe meeting
here this evening. Those who desire to
secure any should apply at the Office of
A. A. Hazard, the sewing machine man
on Main street. Only as many tickets
| will be Issued as there are seats. These
tickets will be good until 7:20 o'clock,
and up to that time none will be admit
ted who do not have tickets
At 7:20, those seats which
are not taken, IL there are any, will be
given to any who come. There is no
doubt but that the opera house will be
crowded to its full capacity, and prob
ably many will be unable to get seats.
The expenses of securing the opera
house, etc., are borne by voluntary con-
tributIons, and those who attend should
in all fairness contribute so far rs posi-
BILE, so that the citizens who have be-
come responsible for the expenses, may
not be left to make up q deficiency, Such
contributions can be left at Mr.. Hazards
Office, or with Mr.. A. B. Walker, who
has been quite active in making these ar
rangements.
The public will need no urging to go
and hear Mr. Moody. The only trouble
Is that there Is no place in Council Bluffs
large enough to hold those who are anxi-
GUS to attend, but under these circum-
stances the present arrangements seem as
fair to all concerned as any that could be
| made.
