THAT STORY about the presentation
of "silver crown" to Jefferson Davis
on occasion of the late cornerstone
laying of Confederate monument at
Jackson Miss, is cmbellished and
made much of by some Of the West
ern papers; and viii probably keep
going the rounds until after the cleo
ton. In due time the fact will come
to light that the gift was silver urn
instead of crown and that the white
and red roses with which il was
adorned were interviewer with gar
land of rare flowers, exhibiting the
name of Abraham Lincoln. The Mis-
sissippi correspondent of the St. Louis
GloJe- Democrat is the inventive
genius who started the crown canard

our esteemed contemporary aware of
the fact that manufacturer is also
somewhat of politician, and that
instead of going on the stump and
arguing against reduction Of the
tariff he gets there all the same by
simply cutting wages and excusing it
on the ground that the tariff agitation
forces him to do it2 We believe in
