Appomattox. Park idea. Why certain

should be. But for that very reason it
is unnatural that any ex-Confederate
post should favor it. Most men can
forgive injuries. but few like to be kept
in constant remembrance of them. NO
ex.Confederate says a word against
being taxed to pay for identifying the
battle field of Gettysburg, where the
federal army gained its greatest victory,
though wiser nations try to obiiterate
the marks of internecine war, but to
thousands ofthem, that of Appomattox,
where their short lived and storm

the ghost, recalls the most miserable
feelings of their lives, and they would
rather it should be destroyed by an
EARTHQUAKE than be forced to pay for
its adornment. Ofcourse if the federal
government chooses to buy and deco
rate the place it can do SO, but Turner
Ashby Camp is right in protesting
against such an unnatural soleclsm

Representative Meredith is equally SO,

MILITARY AFFAIRs.-The long look
editor decision of the commander-in-
chief, in regard to the recent trouble in
the First Regiment and the opinion OF
the court of inquiry, was made public
late last night. The court of inquiry
recommends that all had better resign
for the regiments good; that the officers
did not deserve censure; that the court.
martial feeling itself illegally consti-
tuted was right to adjourn. They were
not reprimanded. The Governor takes
this view and holds that Colonel Jones,
confronted with serious problem, did
what he thought right. The Governor
makes plea for harmony. Both sides
are partially sustained. The command
er in-chief does not approve all the re-
ports of the court of inquiry.

EVEN TIE New York Tribune pro
tests against the unconstitutional law
ofits State by which stone from Vlr-
ginia or any other State except New
York cannot be sold there, and de-
mands that that law be repealed.
1t says: "The interests of this city,
viewed from whatever point, demand
the repeal ofthe obnoxious law and the
privilege of procuring stone wherever
it can be bought most cheaply." In
saying this the Tribune is as near right
It it ever was in all its life. But if stone
should be procured ''where it can be
bought most cheaply," why not things
more necessary than stone? and why
does the Tribune persist in advocating
tariff that prohibits the people OF this
country from buying such things in the
cheapest markets? But neither logic
nor consistency stands between pro-
tectionist and the object he has in view.

TWO HUSBANDS

Of Hon. John IL. Thomas was the proposed,
and he was elected unanimously, there being
no other candidate.
The selection of Mr.. Thomas is victory for
the followers of Mckinley, and black eye for
Silas j. Williams, the republican nominee for

STRIKERS MEET AGAIN.
A Lively Session at the Fair Grounds
This Neutrality-suspicious.
Proposition to Work.

The employees of the Canton Steel Com
pany, who are on a strike, met in the hall
at the city park about $3.50 this morning,
The meeting was largely attended. The
committe which was appointed to confer
with Mr. Bulley, reported that he had
offered them raise of 1874 per cent.
when they met him Saturday night.
They also reported that Sunday morning
they had visited the office of the company
and looked over the talley sheet for last

were losing money, but it was intimated
that IL might have been filled up for the
occasion.

agree, for them, to go to work at a 10 per
cent. reduction of the wages received two

2l per cent advance over present wages

and so on. 1t was also understood that IL
steel advanced in price, they were to get
an advance by the first OF September 4

EX-GOV. CAMPBELL
Speaks to the Tammnay Braves-His
Fourth Of July Speech Calls
Forth Comment.

Among the contributors to Tammany's
Fourth of July festivities were President
Cleveland and ex.Gov. Campbell, says the
Cincinnati Times Star. The former wrote a
letter and the latter made a speech. 1t would
have been far more satisfactory to the public
if the Cleveland letter had been written by ex-
been made by the president.
The letter is string of generalities, some of
which glitter more or less. The theme is the
lesson taught by our forefathers, and the OBJ
vious conclusion that nothing but the same
patriotic icsteadfastness and adhearance to prin-
ciples, which led to their successes, will now
shield our government from disaster and pre-
serve our national glory and prosperity" Ex-
Gov Campbell had something definite to say,
and he put il straight. He dealt with the
Monroe doctrine. He declared that the artful
and insidious effort of the British government
to get possession of tract Of territory, larger
in area than the state of Ohio, every foot of
which belongedto Venezuela, fought to be met
in the same spirit that the United States ordered
the French troops from Mexico thirty years
ago." He declared that any attempt to steal
a foot of soil in this hemisphere should be
treated by the United States as declaration Of
war" The governor wound up his speech
with snapper:
1t has been the fashion of late to ''cough" at
those who advocate such measures and deris-
lively call them jingoes, but there is time
coming when lingo will cease to be term of
opprobrum and will become the emblem of
those men who love their country and their
flag.
We say again, it would have been grand
Fourth of July treat to the people of the whole
country if the President had uttered such SEN
