FUNERAL BAKED MEATS. "

A few forlorn Georgia Republicans
have Just met together TO consider the
chances Of the G. o. =. (gonc of party
In the South, and it is said that at this
hopeful loye-feast where patriotism was
served 10 the guilty stomach Of re-
morse and failure, the principal feature
of interest was letter from Malone ex-
boss Of Virginia, in which he suggested
the adyisabiliiy of securing a strong
Sherman delegation from Georgia com
posed of representative Republicans, and
said that he confidently believed if the
Ohio Senator was nominated, Virginia
and West Virginia would be carried for
the Republicans. He thought it possible
also that he could carry North Carolina
or Tennessee, and that on account of
Sherman's strong protection views he
would poll larger vote than any other
person who could be nominated. How
many other States Billy may promise as
the Sherman boom gathers Doodle IS not
known, but it looks as if the solid Demo
cratic South was melting away as rapidly
as Malone did, if we believe Malone.

"Apprentice to pirate We all re-
member how in the comic opera the maid
of all work, Ruth, was told to apprentice
young Frederick to pilot, and being
hard of hearing made a mistake and
bound him to pirate" The conse'
quence was that, it being leap year, as ii
is now, Frederick could not get ont OF
the difficulty before 1910.
We call the attention of the Legislature
TO this in order that they may not play
the part of Ruth, and bind the Demo
cratic party apprentice to a pirate in the
fond belief that it is merely signing an
obligation TO pilot

The story of the great speculation in

shows how the foes of competition, unre-
strained by the boundaries Of nations or
Of continents, have undertaken to grasp
and control the worlds entire product
of q useful metal In this case a manu-
faclurer, assisted by concealed capitalists,
buys all the available refined copper,
thereby raising the price, and then strives
to maintain the price by means of time

division of labor. Tie mines do not
unite in a pool or Trust, but they deliver
their product to group of capitalists
who undertake 10 dispose of il TO con

with an equally promising prospect Of
success in smaller fields. The borax pro
ducers have formed an association and
raised prices. Possibly they might be
willing to dispose of their goods on the
contract plan, if q group Of capitalists
should offer satisfactory terms.-N J

The Washington Post has obtained the
following opinions from Chicago:
q" What do you think about the plan
to bring Libby Prison to Chicago was
asked of Controller \ II. Burley.
60 think it would revive the sectional
feeling and prejudices. do not think
that Chicago is going TO be a gamer, and
| have not seen in any paper good rea'
son for bringing 1t here
Judge Tuley said do not think it
polite thing to do. As soon az we can
burn up those mcmentoes OF the war,
both North and South, the better il will
be for the good Of the country. IL is not
advisable from any point of view TO keep
alive any of the worst memories OF the
war, such as Libby and Andersonville
prisons
United States Attorney W. G.. Ewing:
! think that Libby Prison ought to
have been blown TO atoms twenty-five
years ago. There can be no possible
public good result from bringing it here
or taking it anywhere. Accidentally
il is an abortion, and it would be dis
grace from that point alone for any part
of Chicago within eight miles of the
Courthouse. Do you think anybody is
really seriously talking about it? The
only result of such a thing would be to
bankrupt the men who undertook it,
John T. Drake | think the whole
thing is absurd 1t ought not to be done
Ii is only speculation, and ought to be
falure. II only keeps alive the sec
iional feeling, and The people of Rich
mond should not allow it to be done, and
the people of Chicago should not do it. >

ALL SORTS.

The city comptroller's letter to the
board of trade is in the shape of mild
hammered rebuke to that organization,
which is invariably putting its oar in
politics, under the guise of working for
the interests of the city. The board of
trade is supposed to exist for the
purpose of advertising the city,
of presenting its advantages to the out
side world and inducing capital and
manufacturing enterprises to come here.
In the face of this, however, it allows a
bitter partisan attack of a private indi-
vidual upon the administration,
in which reckless expenditures of
gance are charged, to be made
public, without first investigating the
truth of the charges. The only action
by which the board can possibly stulify
itself further would be to refuse to
allow the comptroller to appear before
1t and make statement that will put
matters in the right light.

Another WelI-Known Business
Man Makes An Assignment.

The latest business man to go to the
wall is Edwin H. Steele, the well-known
real estate man, and formerly proprietor
of the Big Boston clothing store, who
made an assignment yesterday to
Whipple Andrews. The announcement
that Mr.. Steele had assigned was re-
ceived with astonlshment, notwith-
standing the fact that there
have been rumors afoat for some
days that he was in tight
place. He has always been considered
one of the solid men of the city, and is
reputed to be worth from S500,000 to
S1,000,000. The assignment was precip-
ltated by two suits begun against him
yesterday morning, one by Miller,
Schram d Co. to recover $39S.4S alleged
to be due on merchandise, and the
other by Henry B. Spitz ct al. to recover
Sl,o7S.75 on promissOry note. The
attorney who made out the
papers in the case stated yesterday
that the assets were very large.
and would exceed the liabilities by three
to one. The Whole trouble was, he said,
that persons holding claims against Mr..
Steele had pushed them before they
were really due. Mr.. Steele had offered
to satisfy these claims with mortgages
or real estate. but the claim holders
wanted spot cash. AS Mr.. Steeles
property was nearly all in real estate,
he could not meet these demands, and
was forced to assign.

BURGLARY IN THE NIGHT.
The Offices of Ace p. Abel and f..
S Lewis Robbed

When Justice Ace P. Abel arrived in
his office yesterday morning, wrinkles
spread all over his closely cropped
head, while his angelic countenance
took on an expression that was fairly
satanic in its wrath. His office had
been burglariZed, as had also the adj
joining Office of F. S. Lewis. The rob-
bers had stolen Lewis coat, but it
was afterwards found in the corridor,
as it either did not fit or was not
stylish enough for the thief. Lewis
also lost valuable collection of por-
traits of distinguished men, including
A. NJ. Clerihew. w. E. Steele and W.
S. King. What a burglar could want
in the office of justice is not so clear,
and Judge Abel was teased great deal
to know what was missing, but he could
not answer the question. Finally A.
n. JOrd an made an investigation, and
when he came out remarked:
