Subdued Quickly.

A pile of 800 bales of cotton in front Of
pier So. North River, foot of Spring

With a dozen streams playing on the
blazing bales, the fire was subdued al

from a lighted cigar, thrown from a

The Private Soldier.

at Richmond, on the 30th inst,
will be unveiled magnificent monu-
ment to the private soldiers AMI sail
ors of the late Southern Confederacy.
Though long deferred, this is q most
appropriate tribute to those whose
endurance, supreme self-sacrifice and
yalor moro than aught else in the
late war, lent fadeless glory to the
Southern standards. Battling against
almost overwhelming odds, enduring
hardships almost unknown in the
history of modern warfare. fighting
for a cause which, from the outset of
the struggle, seemed doomed to de-
feat. the Confederate private will al
WAYS stand out in heroic relief, as the
greatest soldier, the most fearless
fighter of the age. 1t was the con-
ception of our great generals that
pointed the way to many brilliant
victories, but it was i'll the execution
ofthese plans, that blood was split,
agony endured, physical prowess and
bravery demonstrated and all the
horrors of war experienced. This
monument will stand mutely but clo-
qucntly evidential of the love and
reverence in which the Southern SOL
dicr, who in his ragged regimentals OF
gray, has won the plaudits and adj
miration of the world. All honor to
Richmond, that queenly city Of mon
uments and historic memories, for
conceiving and SO grandly carrying
out this noble project.

The RYif1e Offerer.

Humiliating as it was to Senator
Hunton to have been approached
with bride to influence his vote on
the Tariff Bill, yet the manner in
which this attempt was met is most
gratifying to his constituency. We
can conceive of no man in public life
to-day whose sense of honor is higher
or whose integrity is more unbending
than this gentleman who has SO long
proved conspicuously able and
faithful servant of his State. We
had supposed that all along his dis
tinguishcd public career this truth
had been written in letters of living
light, so plain that he who runs
might read. But the insulting pro-
posal recently made to our Senator
only demonstrates the brazen effront-
cry Of men who have almost, with
out intermission, since the war, con-
trolled the politics of the govern.
ment. Corruption has for so many
years under Republican rule hello
mighty sway at the Capitol, that il
ia difficult matter for it's disciples
to realize that the day Gifts power il
rapidly drawing to a close. The
sooner the bride offerer realizes thai
he can no longer stalk in impudent
defiance about the lobbies of our Ma
tional Capitol, believing that the ON
impotence Of money throws about hin
the mantle Of protection, the more
assured will be the perpetuity OF ON
Republican institutions. 1t is t.
such men as the brave and honorable
Hunton that the Nation looks fol
safety from corrupt and centralized
government.

sslligent man. The liberty of the
citizen, and the maintenance of it's
proper safeguards, his property and
its adequate protection, the. estab-
lishment and preservation of q clean,
healthy standard of morality in a
community, are considerations Of no
minor Importance. They should APP
peal to every class of our people, and
to hold them lightly is a grave injury
to society. No man, wo care not
how exalted his position, how requir-
ing his business, or how great has
wealth. can afford to sit supinely by,
with easy indifference, when the
veal or woe Of his community, from a
governmental point of view, is in
issue. Upon him rests the same res
possibility in this particular as that
imposed upon the humblest voter.
Let every suffragist who values good
government, go to the polls to day
and, after mature and intelligent
consideration, vote for those candi-
dates which, in his honest judgement,
can best subscrve the public good.
