WEDNESDAY, MAY 80, 1894.

When the miners who contem-
plate a strike salt the mines with
dyn&mite,so that those who take
their places can be blown into
Kingdom come at any moment at
the pleasure of the strikers, there
is an added element of danger in
the situation that will greatly de-
ter the outsiders from attempting
to take the places that have been
vacated by strike. The situation
grows grave and it demonstrates
that there is a new method OF
fighting and a new weapon in the
hands of the miners that, unless
some peaceable way OF settling
difficulties is devised, may be
made terribly destructive of life
and property. Enforced arbitra-
ton seems the only way out Of the
threatened difficulty.

Seth Shepard thinks that the
Democratic party has been going
down hill ever since the special
session, that is in effect to say that
as soon as they climbed the hill
they slipped over on the other side.
The momentum OF their ascent left
them no option, but to rush over
and down.

resources. prevailed But brute force
cannot settle questions of right and
wrong. Thinking men do not Judge the
merits of cause by the measure of its
success, and believe the world shall yet
decide in truths clear that the South was
in the right: that the cause was just; that
the men who took up arms In her de-
Tense were patriots. who had even better
reason for what they did than had the
men who fought at Concord, Lexington
and Bunker Hill, and that her coercion,
whatever good may have resulted or may
hereafter result from it, was an outrage

The speaker insisted that those who
served under the banner OF the Confed-
eracy were not rebels fighting against
lawful authorities, seeking TO destroy the
Union founded by our fathers of Ameri-
can independence. That Union was dear
to the hearts of the Southern people; but
when it became evident that the Union
was to exist in name only, when its eS-
sential principles had be overthown and
Irampled in the dust, then did the South
stand up and insist upon her rights, act
ing not AS a passion-swept mob in mad
rebellion against constituted authority,
but as an intelligent and orderly people.

Mr.. Cave closed by saying that the
spirits OF the Confederate dead, glory
crowned, hover over and beckon US on

example bids us nobly live for the prin-

wisely founded by our fathers, without

At the conclusion of the Grafton the
monument was unveiled and military

Rev. Robert C. Cave is from st. Louis.
He served through the war and was sew
eral times wounded.
The statue is seventy feet high, is COM
posed of thirteen massive stones, repre-
senting the thirteen Confederate States,
and the capital is artistically carved. The
figure is that of the typical Confederate
soldier at rest, but ever alert. Ia his
right hand he grasps his musket, the
butt of which rests upon stump; his
blanket, frequently his only protection at
night from sleet and storm, is rolled and
crosses his breast, and the left hand
clutches the strap of his canteen just
above the hip. He looks intently TO the
front and is ready for any emergency
that may arise.

RICHMOND (Va.), May 30.-The dedica-

There was cavalry reunion. at which
General Fitzhugh Lee, Wade Hampton,
Governor O'Ferrel, Rev. William Jones

Wade Hampton.
The orator of the day was Rev. X. e..
