MONUMENT UNyEILED.-At the Uni
versity of Virginia yesterday the Con-
federate monument was unveiled in
the presence of thousands of people, in
the midst of volleying muskets and
some of the circumstances of glorious
war. The procession formed in Char
lottesville in three divisions, the mill
itary embracing the visiting and home
military companies, accompanied by
Chief Marshal Fitzhugh Lee and staff,
and under command of Captain Mush-
bach, of the Alexandria Light 1nfan-
try; the veterans, embracing the vete-
ran camps, under command of Colonel
Brandon, and the citizens, under COM
mand of Col R. T. w. Duke. This last
division was the largest, containing the
mayor and city council, the fire de-
partment, the Independent and Junior
borders of Mechanics, faculty and stu
dents of the university, citizens in car
riages, mounted and on foot. The
streets were thronged with spectators
and every way leadingto the cemetery
was filled with persons hurrying to that
point. The exercises were presided
over by General Lee. The prayer was
made by Rev. DIR. Petrie. General
Lee introduced Colonel Venable very
felicitously, and Colonel Venable in
turn introduced the orator, Major Rob
ert Stiles, of Richmond. After the ora
ton the monument was unveiled by
Miss Sallie Baker, of the university,
the band meanwhile playing Dixie"
which of course excited the "rebel
yell" The infantry and artillery fired
repeated volleys.

By pRoMuLGATING the Russian treaty
President Cleveland has greatly in
creased his popularity among all the
right thinking people of the country,
On silver, pensions, and the treaty re-
ferred to he is as right as right can be,
and, except for his delay in calling an
extra session of Congress, most people
would think he was equally so on the
tariff. But his failure to apply the same
rule to republican office holders which
the people of the country applied to his
republican predecessor handicaps him
and his administration seriously.

VIRGINIA CoSGREssMEN AT THE WHITE
HoUsE.-Rcprescntatives Wise, Swanson and
Marshall, of Virginia, were among tho Presi-
dents callers yesterday. They spoke to him
about the recent order of the Postmaster Gen
eral requiring charges to be made against ,t
fourth class postmastcrs before removals could
be made. They told the President that this
order was working injuriously to them and
their constituents, and suggested that it
practically gave the present republican in
cumbents life tenure to the offices. Mr.
Cleveland assured the Virginians that he ap-
preciated the situation in which they found
themselves, but he did not give them any in
dications that might lead them to think that
the order would be changed or repealed.
REPRESENTATIVE Wise brought up the subject
of the contemplated change in the collector
ship of internal revenue in the Richmond dis
trict. Editor Ryan. of the Richmond State, is
the coming man for the position, and the
President promised that hc would call for the
papers and take this matter up very soon.

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE s, 1898.
THE ADMINISTRATION announces

THE ADMINISTRATION announces
that fourth-class postmasters shall not
be removed except on proved charges
the courts decide that men once in Office
under the civil service law cannot be
removed except for cause; and now
e. s. District Attorney, whose successor
the President has appointed, says he
will not vacate the office until the ex-
piration of his term and that under the
civil service law the President cannot
remove him. The civil service law is q
delusion, its rules are snares and its ex-
ecution grotesque farce. 1.-THE demo-
cratic majority in Congress be wise 1t
will abolish the whole thing during the
first week of the session, to meet in the
sicklv season. There was no such law
during the earlier and better days OF the
Union and under its most successful
administrations. Innovation is by no
means synonym of improvement.

THE CROP OUTLooK.-Great activity
now being shown by our farmers in their eff
forts to make large tobacco planting. The
season during the spring was especially favor
able for blowing, and an unusually large area
has been prepared for tobacco. The plants
have been abundant and the wet weather Of
Nav has been seasonable for planting. Al
though the cut worm has been very destruc-
tive. vet the young plants are standing pretty
we'll. We hear of a number of planters who
have set out from $4,000 to 100000 plants.
There has also been large corn planting and
it has come up finely and is standing we'll
The wheat crop will be short, as good deal
was winter killed. As wet May is sup
posed to be good for grass that crop ought to
he an excellent one. Altogether the crop out
look is very good aud the prospect of con-
tinuation Of fair prices for tobacco has greatly
encouraged our farmers.

Observation-Disclosures ap-
peared in Richmond paper yesterday
a savage attack on Congressman Chas.
r. O'Ferrall, one of the candidates for
the democratic nomination for govern
or. bv Col. w. r. Alexander, of Win
chester. Mr.. Alexander has once or
twice opposed Mr.. O'Ferrall for the
congressional nomination. Saturday
Col. O'Ferrall published letter, in
which he declared certain reports con-
corning himself to be untrue. Now
Mr.. Alexander says O'Ferrallis "base
and deliberate falsifier, as well as in
crate and hypocrite." O'Ferrall, in
his letter, states that it was false that
he ran as an independent for Congress
in 1874. Alexander calls this a wilful
Misrepresentation, and gives extracts
from O'Ferrall's card announcing him
self on that occasion. O'Ferrall said
Alexander was driven ingloriously
from the field once when he ran against
him(O'F.) forCongress. Alexander states
that "baser, more deliberate and will
full falsehood was never penned by the
hand of man." and that he retired be-
cause of O'Ferrall's dishonest conduct
and treachery.

KILLED A WHALE WITH AN AVE.
A big fnback whale lost his bearings
yesterday morning and got tangled up
in Captain Wilson Perry's fish traps,
in Sandwich, Mass. When Capt. Per-
ry and his neighbors tackled the
whale fun began. They didn't have
anything more deadly than II gait and
an axe, and these only served to ex-
cite the whales anger. After receiving
few prods the whale turned and with
its tail struck viciously at the boat.
Capt. Perry struck him a terrific blow
with the axe, and it was apparent that
he had been severely hurt. He churn-
ed the water into foam with his huge
tail, but the boat managed to escape
the blows. As the whale turned one
of the crew struck him sharp blow
and the whale disappeared. He then
rose under the boat, which he upset,
throwing the occupants into the sea.
The men clambered on the bottom of
the boat. They expected an attack,
but the whale had disappeared. Soon
he rose to the surface dead. He was
lowed ashore ana is now on the sandy
beach near the entrance to the canal.
