The Late Gen. Smith. Mai. Gen.
John Glynn, commanding the
Louisiana Division of the United
Confederate Veterans, has issued a
formal announcement of the death
of Gen. 4. Kirby Smith. in which
he pays AN eloquent tribute to the
deceased general. Among other
things General Glynn says: while
modest and retiring by nature, he
was dashing and bold in the field
and wise and prudent in admins
tration, fitting him eminently for
independent command. His record
as commander of the -Missis-
sippi department is one of brilliant
success in the midst of great dis
couragement.

No MORE or THAT SORT OF RE-
CIPROCITY.-The President has
concluded. it is stated, to discon-
tinue the discriminating duties i'm
posed by Mr.. Harrison, under the
terms of the Mckinley act, on the
coffee and sugar products of Vene-
zuela, Hayti and the United States
# Columbia. Reciprocity Of this
sort destroyed commerce instead of
increasing it, and created bad feel
ing besides. Reciprocity is very
fine if applied with view of pro-
noting equitable trade relations
with our best customcrs-those that
buy most of our farm products from
rs. But Great Britain, Germany
md France are among our best
customers, and trade with them did
not suit our tariff lords. Sun.

The Board of Trade in a Ten
nessee town in a recent memorial
to the legislature demonstrated that
bad roads were costing the people
of that commonwealth moro. than
$1,000, 900 annually. Prof. ". ".
Carson, of the University of Ten
nessee, after careful investigation,
found the average cost of hauling
to the Knoxville market by wagon
to be $3.50 per ton-aggregating
81 $50, 900 a year on the total ton
mage hauled. He maintained that
this hauling could have been done
for half the sum over good dirt
roads, and for oue-sixth of it over
good macadam roads, saving ST.
900. 900 annually. Prof. Richard
L. Ely, of the John Hopkins Uni
versity and Secretary of the Ameri-
can Economic Association. affirmed
that poor roads cost this country

CHOLERA REDIvIvUS.-The

signs of spring and the revivficatlon
Of nature have brought with them
forces which promise something be-
sides the hope of early planting and
prosperous harvest. Disease germs
apparently are springing up as lux
uriantly us the grass or the daffo-
dill. Particularly in Europe is the
dreadful cholera showing signs of
life which inspire anything but
comfortable feeling along the lines
of the worlds commerce.
In Russia the cold of winter was
not sufficient to bind the giant with
its icy fetters. IL is believed to
have been prevalent in parts of the
Cars dohninions during the entire
winter. In Hamburg also 1t has
never entirely let go its hold, and
reports have reached this country
that the disease has been carried to
several parts of Europe upon vessels
leaving Hamburg. There was an
outbreak at Marseilles, another town
In the interior of France is suffer
ing with it, and the plague is likel,
to break out in a dozen places at
once with the return of warm wea-
ther.
There are a few who affect to rid
icule the idea that cholera will com.
to America this year. 1t came last
year, and the chances are six to one
that it will appear again at som
one of the ports of entry this year
1t is not necessary to treat the mat
ter as u sensation. but simply to
look the facts in the face. Thela
bility is very strong that the cholera
will be on this side of the Atlantir
before the middle of July. If i
comes it will quite likely get pas
quarantine. Coming to New York
Philadelphia, Boston or New Or
leans, it would undoubtedly reacl
Baltimore. and the part of wisdom
is to act upon the supposition thai
it will come.
BY so acting the city will be mad,
clean, our dirty streets will be swept
and all outward precautions taken
to keep off the pestilence. We sub
NIT that looking at the facts plain
ly and acting promptly is not get

THE BERING SEA ARBITRA-
TION.-The court of arbitration on
The Bering sea question began its
sessions yesterday ut Paris with
sguabble over the Elliott report on
The seal question, which our State
Department was said some years
rgo to have suppressed because it
lid not favor Mr.. Blaine's conten-
tlon. 1t was agreed yesterday that
1t should be produced. There is
complaint also that the Russian
documents on which the last admin
lstration largely based its claims to
Exclusive jurisdiction over Bering
sea were translated most wretched-
ly. A good translation, it is as
serted, wrecks our case. 1t would
have been a pity if we had gone to
war for want of an accurate linguist
in our State Department. The
ealing company, which had mo-
nopoly of the seal-catching business,
originated, it appears, the idea that
other nations had no rights in the
North Pacific, and our State De-
partment took it up at the com
pany's solicitation. That absurd
theory having been adopted there
was hot hunt for arguments to
Sustain it, and a mis- leading trans
lation of Russian dispatch was to
be expected.-Sun.

PRESIDENT HAYES AND THE
FARNER.-The story is told that
the late II. Il. Hayes had for a
neighbor in Ohio a testy old fellow
who ran a small truck farm. saws
the Detroit Free Press. lie was
honest and upright aud Mr.. HAYES
held him in high esteem. notwith-
standing his lack of the social
amenities and respect for persons.
On one of his visits to Ohio during
his Presidency he passed the old
mans farm and found him planting
potatoes in a patch near the road.
The President, being somewhat of
a farmer himself, noticed some Pc
culiarity in his neighbcr's STYLE of
planting. and afterra few minutes
chat he called attention to it and
the old man argued the point
awhile.
"After ALL" concluded the Pres.
ldent, Il don't think you are do
ing it as it should be done for the
best results
The old farmer rested his arm on
the fence and looked steadily ut
Mr. Hayes.
They amt neither one Of us"
he said, "above havin' fault found
with us but ef You jest 90 on
Prrsidentin' the United States YOUR

wuss off in the end"
Mr. Hayes accepted the suggcs-
ion pleasantly and passed on.

DANIELS MIGHTY SPEECH.
One of the Greatest Oratorical Eff
forts Ever Made in the
Senate.

forts Ever Made in the
Senate.
In the United States senate are
more friends of silver than was pre-
viously anticipated. Every few
days is announced the name of a sill
verite who has heretofore been class
ed with the repeal advocates. One
of the most prominent Of such con
verts is Senator Daniels of Virginia.
He spoke recently on the question
Of repeal, and his speech provoked
the loudest cheers. This in the
United States Senate is a thing of
rare occurrence; deliberations in
that body beng as a rule more mod
crate than in the house.
The speech Of Daniels was a
great burst Of oratory and was com
plimented in the highest manner by
such men as Sherman, Vest, Hill
and others. The burden of remark
being that it was the greatest speech
they had ever listened to. The au-
thors peroration, which is worthy Of
a second perusal, is as follows:
''In behalf Of the poor impoverish-
ed farmers of our abundant land
who provide the basis of wealth and
get but poverty i'll return, whose
products sustain our foreign com
merce, and are themselves denied
sustenance and competence at home
who are now sustaining oul public
credit with foreign gold, and are de
MED silver to sustain themselves, il
behalf Of the great masses Of labor
who turn the machinery of the
worlds progress, and get but scant,
share; in behalf of our retail mer
chants who behold the profits of bus
mess absorbed by a few who dictate
gold notes, while of necessity they
must take silver in exchange fo
their goods; in behalf Of our manu-
facturers, to whom successive year
of toll bring successive years of de
preston; in behalf of our banks
whose creditors, sinking under thu
burden of gold, cannot enable then
to pay their depositors, and in be
half Of the depositors, who find thu
shrinkage of payments destroying
the means of redemption; in behal
of the railroads, whose freights from
field, mine and factory would in
crease if bountiful money enabled
them to thrive, whose stocks an
bonds are shrinking in their holders
hands, and enforcing them to fin'
their only terminal facilities in bank
rupt courts; in behalf of the miners
whose machinery rusts in mines o
wealth, and who have been scattered
and driven from their homes to en-
rich their rivals, and to bend to Brit
ish avarice; in behalf of the myria'
of investors whose only hope of rec
overing the billions lost by the ac
cursed sinking of prices lies througl
an ample volume of money to sustain
them; in behalf of peace, that strikes

anCe, ana jim nao again sang1ane hope
Of escape. He knew the valley well, and
as he rode calamity forward the thought
entered his busy brain that on the other
side of small wood he was approaching
there was q road leading toward the
River Potomac. He also remembered
that a mile or two below there was o
bridge across narrow creek, and lie at
onco formed the plan by which he finally
eluded his pursuers.
It took only q few seconds to enter the
wood and dash through it. On reaching
the road he darted off again, being fully
o mile ahead when the Confederates took
ND his trail. In less than 10 seconds Jim
had reached the bridge, it being just be-
yond sharp turn In the road, thus shut
ting him out Of the sight of the united
patrols.
Suddenly refining in, he dismounted
and led his horse under the bridge. Once
there, he covered the animals nose with
his hat to check it's labored breathing
and ordered it to kneel. Tho command
was promptly obeyed by the docile steed,
it seeming to recognize its masters peril.
Standing there, ready for any emergency,
the scout calmly waited, hearing the
sharp clatter of the Confederates as they
rapidly approached. Nearer and nearer
came the laundering hoofs, and mo-
ment later they ratified on the bridge.
The trained and Intelligent animal gave
no sign of Its presence, and in few min
utes the pursuing party was out of sight
and hearing. Then Jim returned to the
road and galloped away up the valley.
He reached Aide gap late in the night,
and passing through without challenge
biYouacked in q wood near the Center
Vile road. He reached General Hooker
on New Years eve and made his report,
and thus 1t was that Jim Whites shaggy
but fleet steed saved him from capture
and death.-Truo Flag.
