Louisville Courier Journal.
As the fortune of war had favored
his larder, through some skillful for
aging Of Ephraim, a negro, who was
his faithful cook, bOdy-servant and
waiter-three in one-General Lee in
yitcd several officers to dine with him
on Christmas Day, 1864. The lucky
recipients of the timely invitation
were five in number, all officers of dis
tinction, among them Generals Long
street, Gordon and Kershaw. They
were all on time when dinner was
called. 1t was served on rough pine
table, without cover, in General
Lees weather-beaten tent. 1t con-
sisted of boiled cabbage, and eight or
ten boiled sweet potatoes and a dish
of rice cooked dry. The piece de re-
sistance, which indeed the guests
found it hard to resist, was small
bit or fat bacon, about three inches
square, that lay on top of the large
cabbage. Now, bacon was as rare in
the Confederate camp at that time as
are roses on Northern hIlltops in De-
cember You can imagine, therefore,
the Self-restraint exercised by each
guest as he declined in turn slice OF
the delcctable meat offered by his host
who held the carving knife and fork
ready to cut and help.
1t was observed that when the
general, after helping to the cabbage.
said to the guest whose plate Ephriam
held out, "AllOw me to help you to q
slice of the bacon 2" the devoted old
servltor's hand trembled greatly. In
| fact, he seemed to be in state of de-
cded fright. The high military rank
of the guests would not account for
his trcpidation, for he daily served
near a master who outranked them
all. There was no splendor left in the
tracery of faded gold lace on their
battle-stained uniforms to dazzle his
eyes and cause them to roll about and
glance from bacon to guest, and from
guest to bacon, as each answered the
half-ouestion with the words, mo,
thank you, general" The discom-
posure of the serving man was all the
more striking from the contrast with
the serene, self-poised dignity OF his
master.
Dinner over, the general and his
guests retired from the tent, but as
they passed out General Lee said
in low voice:
"Ephram, we have another cab
bage, have we not?"
"The answer was, "Yes, sab, Mass
Bob. Wes got anudder cabbage, sali."
"Then, Ephriam," said the general
save the piece Of bacon to cook with
that cabbage"
The prompt and decisive reply was,
"No, sab, Mass Bob, can't do dat
list borrow dat piece of bacon fol
seasonin' from a friend ober dar in
Richmon', and l done glib up my
parole of honor dat I'll glib him back
dat same bacon what l borrow"
The general consented at once TO th'
return OF the bacon.

You ought to blow these pcoplcup
for sending Off for things they can

ago. A few days after the same party
glidcd in tickled to death over Il bar
gain that had been made in the cloth
ing, not here, but in Chicago. Couldn't
have got it here said he, for twice the
amount. We ought to dol it, Of course,
but we are afraid that most Of our
people know where they can get bar
gains also. Our advertising and job
work patrons get every dollar that our
business makes, outside Of paper and
ink bills. If they are not blOatcd with
riches, it is because they spend faster
than we can pay in. 1t is true that
there are some people in business here
who don't seem to know that we are
living but all the same, our people
should keep their money at home to
help the business Of home people.

Who Should Advertise 4!

Western Stationer.
Who should advertise? is question
that has been propounded and an
swered in different ways. Our answer.
Every one who has anything to sell
whether it is product of the hand,
brain or machine, and in cases of
those who wish to buy, or secure. or
exchange anything that they cannot
obtain conveniently, they should adj
vertise. Advertising should he treated
precisely as any other investment,
and in nine cases out Of ten it pays a
better profit than anything else for
which money is spent. The best eyi-
dence that advertising pays, is the
fact that millions of dollars are in
vested in it by all kinds Of trade and
by the most successful business men
in the land. OF course 1t pays. Nc
sensible man can believe that success
full business houses advertise and be.
come extensive advertisers just fol
the fun of the thing. With them it Is
business jlst as much as buying
stock or selling products. There are
certain principles of trade that men
ought not to ignore, and among them
the principal one is regular, legiti'
mate and persistent advertising.

A Washington correspondent of the
Wesson Mirror writes that paper that
"Representativc Stockdale of the 9th
Mississippi District, has PREPARED a
bill to regulate the workings OF the
Civil Service. The purpose of the bill
is to dismiss certain number OF lie
publicans and flll their places with
Democrats, and when an equality be-
tween the two parties has been estab-
lished the dismissals are to stop,
except for cause" We would like to
ask what particular class of ofllce
holders and how many of each Will be
dismissed under this bill, and which
particular man in particular class
will be behcaded and his place tilled
by a Democrat? My God, Col! Give
the people Of your District something
better than this to encourage them tt
vote for you again. We see little
chance for the victors to enjoy tht

Feeling His Oats.

+ Mr.. Dole, the president Of the provis-
/ ional government Of Hawaii. seems to
have an idea that he can coerce this gov
F ernment into doing what he and his
friends would like 10 have done He
knows that it is going to be a very diai-
+ cult undertaking TO establish a republic
+ because the great majority Of the people
are opposed 20 that form Of govern
meut. To get a constitution adopted by
popular ma GRITTY it would be necessary to
deny the right Of suffrage 10 nearly all
the native Hawaiians Such a Limitation
Of the suffrage might be productive Of
/ trouble
What President Dole and his friends
desire is annexation TO the United States,
ana since reading the report of the Sen
ate committee on foreign relations that
was prepared by Senator Morgan, they
are strengthened in the belief that they
viii get what they want
In order 70 impress upon our govern
ment the Importance of acting promptly
in respect 10 Hawaii, President Dole is
now threatening 10 deprive this country
OF Pearl narbor. This harbor is Of esDe-
cial importance TO our shipping interests
on the Pacific coast and 70 our navy, be-
cause it is used as a coaling station.
It seems 10 be a fact that the treaty by
which we hold Pearl harbor is only
temporary one and can be abrogated by
Hawaii AZ any time after giving notice Of
her purpose to do so, The announcement
Of President D0le's inclinat ton tn annul
the treaty looks very much as if he
thought he could coerce this country into
favoriug annexation
President Dole appears to be in great
hurry to have this country help Hawaii
out her difficulties, but he has not taken
the right course to accomplish his object
Until he has better authority than he has
at present it is hardly probable that he
viii venture TO exclude our ships from
Pearl harbor or even TO make a transfer
OF the harbor to a European country.
President Dole is beginning to talk like
a high and mighty ruler of a great Empire
instead of the President of a government
Of Questionable legality and of people
who number less than 100000. His
government is rather uncertain affair
yet awhile, and if he is wise he will show
proper appreciation of his real situation.

Gov. Waite,s War.

The people Of Colorado are just begin
ming TO realize how great a crank they
have as their chief executive Gov
Waite startled the country by his blood
thirsty talk when congress repealed the
purchasing clause Of the Sherman silver
law. and more recently ne made himself
ridiculous by calling the legislature to-
gether 10 authorize the coinage Of silver
dollars by the state. He is warlike and
blood thirsty, and his act in calling out
the militia Of the whole state on Thursday
TO enforce his authority in respect TO a
few municipal offices in the city Of Denver
Iustifes the suspicion that he is more ft
for The lunatic asylum than the governors
Office.
If it had not been for the timely arrival
in Denver Of United States troops on
Thursday, it is probable that a number Of
lives would have been lost, because the
governor is so bent on war that he would
have ordered the militia 10 fire on those
who were opposing his orders.
From our dispatches it appears the gov
ernor refused TO be restrained by an in
junction that had been issued by a court
of competent jurisdiction. The restrain
ing order prohibited him from removing
certain members Of the police board until
an adjustment could be had Of the issue
that had been raised He rufused to
respect the injunction, because, as he al
legged, the same issue had already been
decided in his favor by the highest
court in the state.
Il may be that the governor has the
right to change the police board. and the
fremen's board and all other similar or
carnations Of the state as often as he
pleases and that the supreme court has
decided he has that right, but admitting
all he claims he clearly had no right TO
disregard an order Of court. He should
have had the restraining order set aside
either by the court which issued it or by
a higher court, if there were no good
grounds for it. His example in disre-
garded the law, treating it with the ut
most contempt, will hardly have good
effect. Being the chief citizen of the
state he should be particularly careful 10
obey the law.
Even the populists will be glad to be rid
Of Gov. Waite. He has shown himself 10
be utterly unfit to discharge the duties
of his position. He acts and talks more
like an insane man than a man holding a
great political Office.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-03-17
Rosebery's Ministry.

It does not look as if Rosebery's minis
try would be a long one. His remarkable
statement day or two ago that home
rule for Ireland depends upon a majority
Of the English voters may lose him the
support of the Irish mem beers Of uarlia-
ment The governments ma oritv is
small-only about sand the number of
Irish members is eighty-one And the
followers Of Labouchere cannot be de-
pended upon TO support the government.
They number about nine.
In commenting upon Rosebery's speech
in the commons the other day. in which
he declared that home rule would have a
prominent place In the programme of the
liberals, the MORNING NEWS said
that home rule was long way
in the future. This statement of
Rosebery's, that a majority sentiment
in England is necessary to secure home
rule is so directly opposed TO the position
occupied by Gladstone, who held that A
majority Of all the voters who voted for
members Of parliament was sufficient.
that it does not seem likely that the gov
ernment can hold its majority. or that
another home rule bill will be passed by
the House Of Commons very soon.
1t is true that the liberal papers are ex-
planning that Roseberys statement was
not understood, and that he meant that
the House Of Lords would not consent to
home rule until it had the support of a
majority of the English voters, but if he
was misunderstood he has had plenty of
time 10 set himself right.
II is evident that the Irish members
will not support his ministry unless he
supports home rule, and without them he
cannot pass any measure. The matter
about which they are chiefly concerned is
home rule, and it is reasonable to expect
they will support the party which Will do
the most for ireland. Unless. therefore.
they get some very definite assurances
from Rosebery, it is probable that they
win break away from the Liberal party
1t is a difficult matter to hold them to-
gether in support of policy which seems
to be for the benefit Of Ireland How
much more difficult will it be to get their
undivided support for a home rule nolicv
which is much less favorable than that of
Gladstone.
