A MONUMENT TO FAITHFUL SLAVES.

We copy the following from the Cnica-
go Times-Hc.ald:
The. movement started in tie South to
erect a monument to commemorate the
unique fidelity of the negroes during 'he
war ~ caring for the homes ami property
of their masters, and In recognition Oh
the fact that not one Nuisance -
known of any acts of violence and scarce
iy one of betrayal ri the sacred trust
reposed in them by their masters on 20
ing forth 10 the war, Is movement
which Will peculiarly commend itsenf 10
all.
THE erection Of such a monument
would not only be indicative Of me
sense OF gratcfulness, but a beautiful
thing to do in expressive appreciation OF
one Of the ncblcst traits Of our nature
Many people at the North also would,
no doubt. count 1t pleasure 10 contrib
ute to a conspicuous memorial OF such
character. An instance Of fidelity so
absolute is not so common that the world
can well afford to pass 1t over unnoted
and unremembered.
but more than that. II were well 70
consider the influence which II could not
fail to have on the people Of both races
in the South, especially In their present
somewhat sorely strained relations. As
preventive Of crimes it would be more
effective than a thousand barbaric lynch
ngs."
The Times did not know that a move
ment had been started in the South TO
erect n monument 10 commemorate the
fidelity with which the negro slaves per-
formed their duties during the war, but
The Times gives its heartiest endorse
ment to IL.
The conduct of the slave population Of
the South during the war IS glowing
tribute TO the best elements Of the negro
character. and IT entities him to the ever
lasting gratitude Of the Southern people.
We are heartily in favor Of erecting n
monument that shall commemorate the
faithfulness with which the negro watch
cd over the family Of the Confederate
soldier whilst ne was absent battling with
the enemies Of his country.
II the malevo.ont Republicans had not
Injected the whole mass OF negroes into
the body polite as voters before they were
qualified to exercise the suffrage intelli-
gently. the South would have been spared
all the turbulent and trouhlous times she
has seen since the war. The negro would
have been admitted to the right Of SUI
frage as he qualified himself for it. and
IL would have been far better for him as
well as the white man.

AN OBJECT LESSON FOR THE PEOPLE
OF THEUNITED STATES.

We take from Harper's Weekly and
print elsewhere this morning a most in
teresting sketch of the life and business
career Of J. Pieront Morgan. Esq, the
head of the great banking bouse in New
York. of j. =. Morgan q Co.. and of the
houses OF j. :. Morgan 4 Co. of London.
Morgan, Harjes Il CO., of Paris, and
Drexel & Co, of Philadelphia.
This gentleman Yields to-day. perhaps,
a greater financial power than any other
man in the world. II the head of the
house of RCthschili be excepted. ana
study of his career must exercise bene-
fetal influence upon all who come TO un-
dcrstand IL and appreciate its inspiration
and guiding purpose. The whole of that
inspiration is suggested in the following
extract from the article referred 10. viz;
Then. as now two great opposite ways
invited a capitalist banker 10 enormous
fortunes and enormous power. The first,
the way Of Jay Gouli. was by wreckine
and looting great properties. The second.
which Morgan chose. was TO follow the
wrecker. urest from him as much Of his
spoils as possible. restore the wreck, lift

in a prosperous way again
The one man pursued the methods of
the pirate and the robbcr 70 enrich him

form the motto Of live and let live" and
he looked for his enrichment 10 the con-
ndonce he would INSPIRE in all those with
whom he dealt. by which the sphere of
and his profits accordingly increased. not
b. unequal assignments 20 him. but by
increasing numbers OF assignments Of
equitable portions as his part The theo-
~ OF Mr.. Morgans business life has been
the true one that great results flow
from the combined and co operative
efforts Of men 70 which complete faith
and confidence and just treatment OF
all are absolutely necessary. Goulds

him fortune it is true Though ninety

name the synonym for fraudI lcnt de-

theft.
Mr.. Morgan has made fortune as great,
perhaps. as Mr. GOuld's but wherever
his influence Is felt, men rise up TO praise
him for fair just and considerate treat

that was theirs while claiming as his
part only that which be stipllated for in

Of thousands. whilst We have seen the

If the only ground for not expressing
himself on the silver question is his
aversion 10 seeing 1t brought into the
State campaign Senator Martin, We
think is making a mistake I'm refusing
to take sides. We had felt disposed 10
see him take. time 10 study the ques-
ton. and TO express himself with delibcra-
ton. but not TO dodge the issue.
TIE idea Of keeping the question out OF
State politics this fan strikes us as ridicu-
lous. Whatever political talk there is. IS
devoted to the silver question. We doubt
if there is q secular newspaper In the
state that does not devote moro space
10 this subject than to any other. County
meetings are being held in some parts
Of the State, and instructions given on
the subject. Senator Martin says the
only political matter requiring attention
next fall is the election Of a State Legs
lature; and to preserve the ascendancy
Of the Democratic party I'm that body is
the practical object 10 be kept in view

If the election OF members Of the Legis-
lature had no bearing on the financial
pciicy Of the Government. this would reed
all right. but the next Legislature elects
United States senator. and it IS OF
vital Importance that the man elected
shall take a stand in behalf of a sound
administration of tho finances. The sta
bnity of business depends on n settled
financial policy. and this can be had per
manently only by defeating the silver
advocates.
This being true, It becomes the duty
Of every man 20 cast his influence IN the
right direction. and TO speak out in behalf
Of a right course of right men. and Of
right measures. -5taunton Daily News.
