Memorial Day--dear to the Southern
heart from its associations with the heroic
dead Of every grade and rank, whose pre-
cious remains lie all over the land--was
celebrated with degree Of propriety, re-
tinement of taste and beautiful display,
never surpassed. No Memorial Day in
the past decade was observed more ap-
propriately. Nearly every store in the
large towns and cities closed its doors,
and nine-tenths OF the factories and ma
chine shops gave their employees a half
holiday. All ages, both sexes, the high,
the low, the rich and the poor, wed with
each other in showing their devotion to
the day. The soldiers, bedecked in their
flaming uniforms, members Of various
secret orders, attired in their uniforms,
the young cadets in their suits
of gray, were astir and showed
zeal that was commendable.
In Atlanta, Ga, the procession was
fine one, and formed as follows: Chief
of Police Connolly, Captain Mercer and
Captain Wright, all handsomely mounted,
were in front. Immediately following
was the Capital band; then came Judge
Calhoun and Col. Thomas, both mounted
and wearing sashes. The Confederate
veterans, about one hundred in number,
walked two and two. They wore their
new badges. Two tribes Of Red Men
came close behind the veterans. Captain
AIilledge and Charles Wurm rode
side, and Immediately in their rear was

ladies Of association, judges Of the State
and United States courts, state officers
and county and city officers. The pro-
cession proceeded to Oakland cemetery,
where an eloquent oration was listened
to, by Col. Thomas Jones, Of Alabama.
At Washington. Ga, the day was OBJ

since the War. Hon. B. s. Irwin ad.

Gen. Toombs was handsomely festooned
with flowers, and the graves of humbl,

beautiful flowers. A monument Of ever

FINE SHOWING.

Nearly five pages of the Manufdeturns'
Record, of Baltimore, Nd, is filled with
special letters from the governors and ag-
ricultural commissioners Of Southern
states, upon the financial condition Of
farming interests of the South and the
general progress of that section. In ey-
cry case farmers are said to be more pros
porous than for many years, and proof OF
this Is given in the great decrease in
number and amount of mortgages and
crop liens. The farmers are less in debt
than at any time since the War, and are
buying more literally OF improved labor
ssying agricultural implements. In Ala
bama Governor Seay and r. F. Kolb,
commissioner of agriculture, unite in re-
porting decrease in the Indebtedness on
the part Of the farmers and q steady i'm
provement in their condition all over the
state, with very marked improvements
In buildings, fencing etc. In Arkansas,
Florida and the Carolinas the same re.
port OF increasing prosperity is made.
Hon. s. A. Jonas, writing Of Mississippi,
which Is fair sample, says; There has
never been a time since the War when
Mississippi farmers were as near out Of
debt as at present. There is not to-day
one farm mortgage where there were
twenty ten years ago, and, In fact, itmay
lie confidently asserted that small farmers
arc, in many parts Of the state, almost
entirely free from debt. The crop Of
1887 paid tens Of thousands Of cur far
mers out Of debt and left them in 0
splendid condition to enter upon the new
year. The growth Of the South in 9th.
er lines, is shown by an increase from
1880 to 1887 Of s977, 600, 900 in the as
sesse raluo Of property, notwithstanding
the fact that an immense amount Of prop
erty, including railroads, new factories,
etc, Is exempt from taxes and hence is
not included in these figures.

WcToRIA's VISIT.

Queen Victoria arrived in Charlotten.
burg. The empress, crown prince and
crown princess, and the prince and
princess OF SAKE -Meiningen received her
at the depot. Prince Henry and his sis
tiers, Princesses Victoria. Sophie and
Margaret, Sir Edward Malet, British
ambassador at Berlin, the duke Of Rut-
land and burgomaster and municipal
council Of Berlin, were also present. The
greetings between Queen Victoria and
the royal family Of Germany were warm.
The crown prince conducted the queen
TO an open carriage, drawn by four horses,
which she entered and with the empress
beside her was driven to the castle.
Crowds OF people lined the route and
cheered enthusiastically as the carriage
passed. The queen paid visit to the
emperor shortly after her arrival at the
castle. The doctors feared that the
meeting would excite the emperor and
probably upset him, but their fears were
groundiess. The emperor seemed rather
brighter after holding the interview,
and his temperature was normal.
Il is reported that the reason why Queen
Victoria has not visited Berlin or even
passed through Prussian territory since
her accession tothe throne is, that Prince
Albert was sighted when, shortly aftel
his betrothal, he paid visit to the king
Of Prussia. He expected to be treated
as q prospective king Of England, bu,
was mortified 10 find that he was sill 70
garded as plain Duke Of Coburg-G Gothi
and assigned o place among the petit,
princelings with which the Prussiin cour
then swarmed. Neither he nor the queer
ever forgot or forgave this humiliatinl
treatment. #-.~

day was very appropriately observed
The day received proper recognition
all over the South, and in many places
arrangements were made to erect more
lasting memorials in memory Of the valor
Of the Confederate soldier. The follow
ing circular was sent to the different
Southern survivors associations in Geor-
gia: s'Thc ladies of the Hollywood
Memorial Association are in great need
Of outside aid, and have directed me to
present the following statement of facts
TO you, and through you 10 the people OF
Georgia. In our beautiful cemetery Of
Hollywood there are buried $500 Con-
federate soldiers, besides large number
brought from Gettysburg several years
after the War. We have a record show
ing the names, states, commands and
dates Of death Of 6, 175. OF this number
the record shows that 1854 were soldiers
from Gecsgia. All the graves are marked
by wooden pegs with tin pieces nailed
across the top, on which are numbers
corresponding to names on the above
mentioned record, thus enabling persons
to identify the graves Of their friends.
These wooden pegs are now fast rotting
away, and the tin pieces containing the
numbers are beginning to come off and
be lost. We most earnestly desire to re-
place these unsubstantial head pieces
with granite blocks, having the numbers
cut in the stone. BY this means we will
be enabled to secure Identification of the
graves for all time. The work, however,
must be done at once or not at all, as q
year or two more will see the last of the
old wooden pegs rotted to the ground. We
need three thousand dollars to do it. Can
you suggest any way by which we could get
help from the peopleof Georgia for mark.
ing Of the graves in the section devoted
to their dead ANY help, however small,
will be gratefully received, and unless
we do receive help from outside, we will
have to abandon the effort, rs our own
funds will hardly suffice to keep the
gTouads in order. Very respectfully,

A POINT FORCIBLY MADE.

HOW PROTECTION PROTECTS THE MILL
HAND, AND HOW HIGH PRICES CONSUME
SMALL WAGES.
From Speech Of Roger Q. Mills)
| saw the other day an illustration of
the truth of this fact. A workingman in
mill said to the manufacturer: Il don't
believe you pay me enough. | have got
a wife and children, and can hardly sup
port them on the wages you are paying
me, only sl.25 day. Think YOU ought
to pay me $l.5o a day." The manufac-
turer replied: Il can get my laborers
from Germany, from France and from
England, and can get plenty of labor
ers at $l.25 day, and if you don't like
that pay you may stop work" "Well,"
said the workman, d" if that is the case. I
suppose l have got to take the $I.25
day"
After his weeks work was at an end
and he had received his weeks wages, he
said TO the manufacturer: 1t is getting
cold. What will you charge me for a
pair of those blankets that | have been
working on p "Five dollars" said the
manufacturer. Five dollars !" said the
workman; "why can buy those blan-
kets in England or France or Germany
for 80 pair, and won't take your blan-
kets. l will send over there and get
pan" "Oh, no, you can't do that" said
the manufacturer, "there is a tariff of 81
pair, which added to the So makes the
price to you s.. That is for my protec-
ton" So the workman paid his IS and
took the blankets. And then he started
OF for home, thinking, poor fellow, how
strange this tariff is.

Practical Political Work.

An accurate poll list is the most effective fac
tor in a contested election. In town near by
the Democratic club has ordered and is making
such an one. On route within the election
district, in which are forty-two voters, there
were found and placed the poll list. tour years
ago, five more Republicans than Democrats
This year, on the same route, are found twenty
two Democrats and fifteen Republicans, who
authorize their names put in such columns. The
other five voters found are Germans. Four OF
them said they voted for Blaine, but should now
vote tor Cleveland. The other said he was not
quite certain, but thought he should also vote
for Cleveland The result Is that while Blaine
got twer y-three votes to Cleveland's eighteen.
tour years ago, Cleveland will now get twenty
six TO Harrlson's sixteen-which will make a
change against Harrison of fifteen votes IN forty
two on that route.

" free trade aud "pauper labor" are the very
men who have done the most to depress wages
in this country; who have fought the trades
unions the most earnestly; who have imported
LABOR from Europe under contract to take the
place OF American workingmen, and who have
hired the PinkertOn butchers to shoot down the
latter when they attempted to assert their rights.
