WASHINGTON WANTS THE CONFED-
FHATE MUSEUM.

or surprising things there is no end.
But one of the most surprising that couio
have occurred is a bid put forward ry
Washington city for the establishment OF
the Confederate Museum, TO which MI
Charles Broadway Rouss proposes TO 40
nate 500. 900 at Washington city. Truly,
~ the sun do" not move, as the vera
cious Jasper would have us believe the
world do" Who would have thought
thirty years ago of a Confederate me
mortal museum being established at wash
ington? When Quilp forced sampson
Brass to drink the scalding appie-toddy
and poor Brass gasped out an appeal for
a little water, Quilp responded, Water
for a lawyer Water for a lawyer Melt
ed lead and brinstone" That would
have been Washington's prescription for
a Confederate talking TO her about mu-
seums thirty years ago.
But Washington wants the museum
now, and she is making a strong case
for it, She says the prime object OF
such an institution is to collect the
materials that will completely illustrate
the history Of the Confederate side OF
the war. Now. says she. the history
furnished by that museum will be illus
trated by what is contained in the va
rious departments OF the Government,
and the Grand Army OF the Republic is
going to establish grand Union mu-
scum there also, and the way to give the
Confederate museum its best chance for
usefulness is to put it at Washington
In the company of all these other
sources of knowledge anc information.
This is all very specious. and would be
entitled TO some consideration. II Rich
mond were not where II is. But being
as close to Washington as Richmond is,
those resorting to the Confederate Aiu-
scum for information could easily sup
plement from the Washington sources
with all needed from that quarter.
But when you examine a Confederate
museum, you want TO examine II at the
home OF the Confederacy. Located else
where, 1t is a jewel without proper set
ting. and would thereby lose half its
beauty. Richmond, the capital of the
Confederacy. is the place at which such
an institution should be located. and 1t
would be az much out of place anywhere
else as terrapin-stew is on the table of
a Kansas hooser. He never can learn
how good it is.
If the gentlemen having charge of this
matter locate this museum anywhere
else than at RHhmcnd, its usefulness and
attracttveness will be lost. Let 1t come

there last evening. He had not been
seen all day. and, as no answer came
TO rejected calls at his room the door
was broken open. Bro Ok's body was
ON the ned, and near 1t lay a small bottle
containing what was evidently some
nowerful poison. This told a story OF
suicide. The man had taken the poison
INTO mis- nostrils by means or a paper
his nostris and stopped up his mouth
with a towel. The poison was neither
ether nor laudanum, and County Phy-
stefan Washington and several druggists
were unable to determine its name and
properties.
The man was apparently forty years
old. had Il dark mustachc, wore blue
scrse suit and white shirt and had IN
