lee MONUMENT PIIIARS,

Nearly three months have elapsed since
the unyciling Of the equestrian statue to
General Lee in this city, and yet no step
has been taken by the contractor under
whose supervision the pedestal was erected
to remove the defective pillars Of the monu-
mcnt, and to replace them with pillars that
are as sound and free from fault az Origi-
nally required. THE TINES, in common
with all of our citizens, has been patiently
waiting for some evidence that the contractor
would, at the earliest practicable moment.
fulfil the promise which he made before the
Inauguration, and which alone allayed the
adverse feeling that the defective work had
created. The people of Richmond would
like to know why the removal Of the present
pillars is deferred. If there is some ten
able reason for the delay, all well and
good. If not, then the public voice de-
mands that the defective pillars shall, as
soon as possible be substituted by sound.
As the monument now stands it is, in one
OF its most important particulars. open to
the grayest criticism, and as such it is a
rejection upon the good taste and common
sense Of the whole community. Let the
contractor proceed to carry out his promise.

Europe Pacific.

Lord Salisbury's declaration that the pO-
litical situation in Europe was never moe
pacific, and that the Powers were growingly
inclined to compromise, was, after all, but
one of those half-:ruths that become 40 radi-
ant in the light Of optimism as to seem Ia
be the whole cflulgent truth. His L0rdship
failed to state that the military budget OF
more than one of the great nations shows
an annual increase at least commensurate
with the growth OF the arbitratiye spirit
and that the cost Of maintaining such a
dOye-like militarism is so great that con-
dition OF general warfare could scarcely add
to the burdens of the people.

Congressman Bingham. who has charge
Of the anti-lottery bills, should pay atten-
tive heed TO the appeal Of the Anti-Lottery
League Convention of Louisiana. That the
bills that have been in Mr.. Bingham'- COM
mttee have been permitted to sleep there so
long does not argue great amount of zeal
in behalf of the abolition Of lottery gamb-
ling, either on the part OF Mr.. Bingham orhis
colleagues. There may be reason for this
failure TO act upon a very important subject,
but it has not yet been given 90 the public.

ones. have existed or do exist why the bills.

Now York Morldl

Some Republican journals support reso-
luton introduced by a senator of their
party to appropriate 100000 to build a
monument for General Grant, provided the
body shall be remOYed to Washington.
4 monument built with the proceeds OF
taxation is no honor to anybody. II has no
value or significance as a testimonial Of
popular gratitude or reverence. To SCOOP
100000 from the vanishing Treasury sur
plus by vote Of Congress would be a very
unworthy method of erecting memorial t'
the great defender Of the Union.

gard for the dead General? It.clOscly resem-

The advance in grain has done the West
ern farmer precious little good. His corn
was consumed as fuel last winter and his
wheat was in the hands of spectators be-
fore the advance in price occurred. The
short crop this year will only add to the cost
of fires in Kansas farm-hOuses next winter,
as the tariff on coal makes that article a
luxury that the Kansas farmer cannot
afford 10 indulge in.

IN THE sILuRIAN AGE.

What Chicago Was Like During That
Period Of the Earth's History.
We are now ready, through data fur
nished by our rocks, 20 picture to our
selves Chicago In the Silurian age. In
Silurian times Chicago lay at the bot
tom OF salt, warm and shallow sea.
To the north lay land area Of unknown
extent, tho Oldest Of our continent AZ
not in the world. We will call II Lau-
rentia. To the east, bordering what is
now our Atlantic coast, lay another
strip Of land we will call Appalachia; to
the west, bordering the Pacific, lay still
another wo will name California. These
lands furnish thus early, by their posi-
tion and arrangement, the first rough
sketch OF North America. II is more
than probable that along their shores
stretched the primordial beaches,
whereon the lowest simplest earliest
forms OF life appeared. But the lands
themselves we're without life Rain
and streams cut down their bald rocky
surfaces, ocean waves ate into their
coast lines, the air above conveyed
clouds and transmitted sunlight; yet
aside from these there was no sign OF
movement But these lands we're dis
tant; they do not concern us most Let
us fix our thoughts on this particular
spot.
The point is indicated by long white
lines OF surf, thrown into spray as 1t en-
counters the submerged reefs. There
were teeming populations then as now,
but they moved in water and not in air.
There was consciousness, there was
great activity, there must have been
enjoyment, since without 1t life can not
be keenly active. There must have
boon also pain, for life was over-abun-
dant There was q struggle TO elude, a
struggle 10 capture. There were eyes
for seeing, teeth for tearing. claws for
grasping, tentacles for feeling, sting
ing, or paralyzing.
There was color, from the irldescent
pearly lining OF sea shells TO the gor-
geous banks OF coral Hower-beds. There
were waving meadows Of sea-plants.
fairy groves Of sponges, amid which
each lived according to his kind. But
in this exuberant existence there was
no voice; all animate nature was mute.
There was no sound save from the dash
ing surf; ears, such as they were, gave
heed to vibrations only. Yet these
we're the possessors OF the earth. For
them at that time "sll things were
made that were made" Nor is this
all. They possessed form Of life as
unique as we're their physical conditions.
The world and It's Inhabitants we're
suited TO each other.--Ellen T.. Bastin.

restlessly on her bed, stretch out her
arms, open her eyes and find that she
was still alone. Lately she had re-
signed herself very much to her cir
cumstances and had given up all idea
OF ever seeing her husband again.
True, she had little cause to wish to
see him, but, like many another patient
and long-suffering woman, she loved and
hoped against fate.
And now in the midst OF the bright
ness Of her new life this other trouble
had come upon her. Eugene, her man
ly boy, had been snatched from her side
for o time and she was left without
counsellor or friend with the store on
her hands and only slight experience
to guide her as to what was best to do.
Fortunately her brain was clear and
knowing young German who was sore
ly in need Of some employment tenn
porary or otherwise, she hired him to
attend to the store and was thereby en-
abled to make frequent visits to Eugene
at the hospital. His case did not prove
as serious as was at first imagined and
his recovery was much more rapid than
the most hopeful OF the surgeons had
anticipated.
In the second week he was able to
move about little and his mother was
allowed to hold long conversations with
him.
One day as his mother was leaving he
said: "Mother, wish you would try
and get here a little sooner the day
after tomorrow. The young lady who
was in the carriage at the time the
accident occurred will be here. She
often comes TO see me and sends me lots
OF good things to eat and drink"
THAT is rather an uncommon thing,
Eugene. Usually in case OF that kind
few apologies arc expressed and that
is the last Of it," said his mother.
''It is not so in this instance" replied
the invalid. "No one could have ex-
pressed more concern than this lady
does. Why, she sometimes brings
friends with her TO see me and has Of
fered me money. One day she left
purse on the bed containing five hun
dred dollars, but slipped 1t into her
pocket next time she came and she
caught me in the act. told her I did
not want her money. | only wanted to
get we'll"
"Well said, Eugene; you have the
right spirit" said his mother.
1t brought back thoughts Of bygone
days and gave Mrs Breezy much to
think Of in connection with her youth
and noble parentage when she heard
such sentiment uttered by her son, and
when she left him that day she kissed
him with more fervor than she had ever
done before.
