The working class of the United
States, who have constituted the voting
strength of protection, are now ready
for a movement that will speak to them
on behalf of free trade. For some years
past education agencies have been at
work among them that have sapped
their faith in protection. If they have
not learned that protection cannot help
them they have at least become widely
conscious that protection does not help
them.-Henry George.

Word was received late this morning
that several young ladies up town had
tainted from fright and physicians had
to be called in. Opiates were necessary
IN several cases, and even then it was
difficult to put them to sleep.

the prisoners cried, prayed and begged
to be taken out. The people in the vi

but are told that he says he never had
such feelings IN his life.

last at 1898 Getty time.)
The following are the times of the diff.

The Last COnncil Of War.

At Abbcville, South Carolina, Mr.
Davis held conference with the officers
in command of the troops composing hi.
escort, which he himself characterized
as council Of war, and which may be
justified, therefore, in so designating. I,
was, perhaps, the last Conre icrate coun.
| Gil Of war held east Of the Mississippi
River, certainly the last in which Mr.
Davis participated.
We had gone into camp in the vicini-
ty OF the little town, and although be-
coming quite anxious to understand
what was going TO be done. we were ex-
pecting no immediate solution Of the
problem. We were all convinced that
the best we could hope and do was to
get Mr.. Davis safely out Of the country.
and then obtain such terms as had been
given General .]ohnston's amy, or. fail
ing in that, make the best Of our way to
the trans Mississippi.
The five brigade commanders each
received an order notifying him to at
tend at the private residence in Abbc
Vile where Mr.. Davis had made his
headquarters, about four O'Clock Of that
afternoon. We assembled promptly at
the hour indictned, and were shown
into room where We found Mr.. Davis
and Generals Breckenridge and Bragg.
No one else was present. had never
seen Mr.. Davis look better or show To
better advantage. He seemed in excel
lent spirits and humor and the union
of dignity, graceful affability, and de-
cision which made his manner usually
so striking, was very marked in his re-
ception Of MS. After some conversation
Of general nature. he announced the
purpose which had induced him to call
US together.
''lt is tirne," he said, that we adopt
some definite plan upon which tho fur
ther prosecution Of our struggle shall be
conducted, Ihave summoned you for
consultation. ] feel that ought to do
nothing now without the advice Of nv
military chiefs"
He smiled rather archly as he used
this expression, and we could not help
thinking that such term addressed to a
handful Of brigadiers, commanding alto
gether barely three thousand men, by
one who 80 recently had been the mas
ter OF iesions was pleasantry, yet he
said it in way that made it compli-
ment,
After we had each given, at his re-
quest, statement Of the equipment and
condition,of our respective. commands,
