bands and sons might 60 into the army.
But Il Il our duty to ignore their wishes
that no monument be built to the Con-
federate women. though we may accept
their suggestion that the Davis monument
be first gotten under way.
The work OF raising funds for the Davis
monument can no longer be safely de-
serred, and this the ladies know.
The Davis Association yielded the held
20 the Soldiers and Sailors Monument
Association because the latter were hrst
in IL. Now the Davis Association cannot
well yield further. but must go ahead IL
cannot prudently delay It's work longer
without imperillIng its success.
The ladies' OF the two organizations men,
toned understand far better than the
general public do The obligations Rich-
mond assumed when she besought Mrs.
Davis TO bury the body Of her husband
here. They know. too. how very impor-
tant Il is not to delay action and not to
have TO compete for collections with an
other monument enterprise.
II seems to us that the way to manage
will be for the Howitzers to surrender
the field to the Davis Association for a
year or two. After that the woman's
monument scheme can be taken up and
pushed TO n successful conclusion.
The Davis Association. having the
women heartily on It's side. should pro-
coed with It's work with all speed. Both
monuments can and will be built; but we
concur in the Views OF the Ladies' Memo
rial Association that the Davis monh-
ment should have precedence. especially
In view OF the strong obligations we as
suued when we induced Mrs. Davis TO
make her decision in favor OF Richmond
as the burial place OF the Confederate
President.
a letter which we have just received
from w. II. Mccarthy. Esq. secretary OF
the Womans Monument Association
gives expression. we are rejoiced TO say
to these very Views, and explains that the
Howitzers never meant to antagonize the
Davis-monument scheme.
No one could have stated the demands
of the situation better than Mr.. Mccarthy

Strikes-The Other Side.

The saddest fact In the history OF strikes
Is that although the men who engage In
them almost always injure themselves
r,ore than ANYBODY else, yet they seem
not to recognize that fact.
The laboring man cannot be compelled
TO work for anybody he does not wish to
work for This every laboring man VIII
admit to be true. The same remark ought
to hold good as to employers. They cam
not be compelled to work for the laborers.
But surely If they are coerced into en-
ploying men whom they do not wish to
employ they are compelled TO work for
them.
EMPLOYERS work for employees as truly
as employees work for employers.
