met seems equally unwilling to blot out his record; because, forsooth, it forms part of his energetic life. I notice a remark made by one of our prominent generals in Richmond, Va, in reply to speech of a late confederate officer, Bradley T. Johnson, which may at this juncture be only anticipatory, yet the sentiment is growing into favor. He says: '"The war through which we passed developed and proved on both sides the noble qualities Of American manhood. It has left to us soldiers once foes, now friends, a memory of hard-fought fields, of fearful sacrifices, of heroic valor, and has taught a lesson to be transmitted to our children that divided we were terrible, united we are forever invincible."
 This speech, which was made to southern soldiers with demonstrations ot applause, does not imply the re- pression of history; but on the contrary a memory-sacrifice valor and lessons to be transmitted. It is the very thing WE propose by 2 Memorial day, a com memoration of sacrifices, of valor, and the constant teaching to our children and grandchildren those lessons whose primary record was written in toll and suffering, and, very greatly, in blood.
 Public restuOttOns GgdtTast naemOridLs
 Charles Sumner, doubtless like Hor- ace Greeley, entertaining a strong desire to exhibit to the conquered n mag nanimity that in the past he had not been believed by them to entertain, in- troduced into the senate a series of res- olutions looking to the doing away with those public memorials and insignia that would perpetually remind our peo- pie, north and south, of the great civil strife then just brought to close.
 Now the principle underlyi 2 Sum ner's graphic descriptions, the real basis of his argument against the genius of war, we find stated by him dis tinctly, in his early manhood, as fol- lows: eff it is wrong and inglorious when individuals consent and agree to determine their petty controversies by combat, it must be equally wrong and inglorious when nations consent and agree to determine their vaster contro- versies by combat.''

THE action of the democratic caucus in deciding to push the regular appro- priation bills, in the house, ahead of everything else, and to secure an ad- journment at the earliest possible date, was disappointing to many members in- terested in legislation which they had hoped to have disposed of at this session, but the very large majority by which the caucus adopted it demonstrated that it was deemed the proper action to take. There can be no doubt that the sooner the house can pass all the necessary ap- propriation bills and demonstrate to the country that it is ready for an adjourn ment, the better it will be for the demo- cratic party.

 LONDON, May 30.-The battle between Frank Slavin and Peter Jackson, which is to take place to night will de- eide the mueh-disputsd heavyweight championship of Australia, and will have an important bearing on the worlds championship. The winner of this fight will undoubtedly challenge the winner of the Corbett-Sullivan fight, and if Sullivan is not the winner SlRvin or Jackson will have as much right to the title aS any one else.
 Great interest iS manifested in the battle and sports are here from all over the country, a number hailing from the United States.
 Jackson started in . favorite in the betting, but the reports of his lackadai- sical way of training have caused him to recede from his position until the odds are now 3 to l on Slavin. Jackson is quicker and cleversr, but Slavin is stronger and Q much harder hitter. Slavin has no fear of punishment, while Jackson shows Q great Aversion to get ting hit. If SlAvin can get home with his long straight right on Jackson's body in the second or third round he will have the colored man at his mercy. Each, however, knows the others meth ods, and the battle may be Q long one. Jackson will certainly take no chances, and will try his level best to tire Slavin out. Jackson's only chance of winning is to let Slavin fight himself out at the afaNk

AsBURY PARK, N. J., May 30-The New Era Monument Association yester- day held memorial services at the West Long Branch cemetery over the three hundred and more bodies lying in the grounds, who lost their lives in the wreck of the ship New Era, which came ashore in November, 1854, on point op- posite which Seventh avenue of this place now stands. The victims were all German emigrants. Addresses were delivered by Col. E. c. Stahl, of Tren- ton, and the Rev. George S. Sykes, and songs were sung by German societies from Newport and Red Bank.

THE strike of the girls in pearl but ton factory at Detroit, against a reduc- tion of wages, is but the repetition of an old story of 'protection." The pearl button industry was one of the specially favored infants of the Mckinley act. The duty was increased to 300 per cent. And now the girls who formerly earned $S.5O a week are permitted to earn only $S.OO. In addition to this, a monopoly of the market and the high price of the genuine article have led to the manu- facture of imitation buttons, which turn a deep yellow in washing clothing to which they are attached. It is beauti- full system-for the monopolists and their political tools.

 JAcKsoHvnLE, Fla, May 30. The man who has been leading Superinten- dent Meyers of the Southern Express Company hot chase through Putnam,
 Columbia and Hamilton counties, and who was reported wounded in a swamp near Jennings and surrounded by posse of 50 armed men, is not Bob Floyd. the fourth and last of the Monroe Junction robbers and murderers. Bob turned up at midnight in the house of farmer named Benafleld in Jonesville, 25 miles from Gainesville, in Alachira county. He was recognized at Jonesville on Fri day, and word was sent to Gainesville on Saturday at noon for a posse to como and arrest him.
 He had stopped at . house and got something to eat and then inquired the way to Benafleld's MT. Benafield met the posse as they were coming into Jonesville. When questioned he said and arranged for his capture. Floyd had given 8 letter to Benafeld to mail, which had given him away.
 The posse returned with Benafleld, and at a signal agreed on Floyd was sur. | rounded, and he was ordered by the Sheriff to surrender and to hand out his pistol. The officer told Floyd that he had plenty of armed men, and resistance was useless. This was about 11:3C o'clock. Floyd opened the door, handed out the pistol, and held up his hands as | vUh h03 ofk ward many citizens talked with him. He is slight, boyish-looking man, with | smooth face. He told his story frank 1 ly, and impressed all who heard 1t as be ing smart country lad, led by evil com. | panions into trouble. He said:

the new birth of our republic. It calls up the memory of those of our com rades who gave the sacrifice of their lives in order to consummate this grand result. It does not dispense with the old national holiday; but it precedes it as, in order of the church ritual, the sol- emn reminders of the cross and the grave precede those of the crowning joy and glory of the resurrection. We, on this day, remember the costly sacrifice, the lives laid on our country's altar, and strew flowers upon the graves where their ashes repose, one month before we make the jubilee of 8 nations joy and glory over the liberty which was born in '76, and subsequently twice con 6rmed.

The American remarked, ''that he was a southern man," that cit was time that all this talk about the war was hushed; the war was over, the troubles settled, and it only renewed bitter feelings to recall them" The Germans opposed him strongly, and argued in favor of keeping fresh the record. The listening officer, after a time, inquired: "Sir, were you in tho confederate armyP" "No, sir, have lived twenty years on the Pacific coast.H

Reported That the DIOnarchs Will Meet
 on Thursday.
 BERLIN, May 3O.-It is now reported that the Czar will cross over from Co- penhagen to Kiel on Thursday, hold q half hour interview with the Emperor in the latter city, and then return to the Danish capital. Preposterous as the re- port appears, 1t is generally credited here. The truth is that nobody except the Czar knows exactly what the Czar intends to do
 The feeling has sprung up suddenly that the relations between the two courts are, for an unknown reason, again ex- ceedingly strained, and that whether the Czar and Emperor meet or not se- rious trouble is threatening. The Elm peror is smarting under the insult i'm |. piled for him in the Czar's careless changes of plan without the slightes. regard for previous engagements in Ber- lin, and personally would be pleased ii he need never see the Czar's face again.
 At the same time he is eager to have his visit of two years ago returned, ip order that the Czar'S dislike may be con- cealed from the world. Consequently, should the Czar come, he would now be received with coolness approaching rude ness, and should he stay away all cour- tesy between the courts would be ended by the snub.

THE coal combine is,the most wicked. the most oppressive and least excusable manifestation of monopoly that yet has been made on the American continent. It is evil, without one redeeming quality, and without one extraue ous circumstance that pleads in mitigation of judgment against it. Other monopo- lies have some wholesome qualities. The great sugar trust pays its laborers "a fair days wages for a fair days work. If it robs the consumer it does not starve the the workman. But "the coal combine" does rob the purchaser and starve the workman. Riot is fre- quent and discontent eternal in the region of the anthracite coal mines, and there only in all the vast area of Ameri- can labor. The coal oil trust made prices lower to the consumer, while paying it's workmen literally. It pre- vented many small capitalists from en- gazing in business, and it made corrupt and corrupting alliances with trans portation companies, but it did not exerclse the full power of it's monopoly by increasing prices while diminishing cost of production. But the first act of
 'the coal combine" was to still further reduce the cost of production, which was already scandalOusly low, so far as the item of wages counts, and it's next was to increase the price of the product, which already was progressively high. As we have said before, it filched from the public purse at the end which dis tributes the payments of the purchaser.
