called upon to address Mr.. and Mrs. New

sent them with testimonials of the occasion
which consisted in part of dinner and tea
set, sideboard, lamp, silver and table ware,
etc. Mr.. Brown eloquently alluded to the

curing Miss Julia's services for a perma-

ca protest against the unyeiling of
the monument which has been erected
AT Chicago TO the memory of the Con-
federate prisoners who died on Johnson's
Island.
Among other things, the protest says
the South attempted TO establish in the
place of the United States nation with
human slavery as the foundation prin-
ciplc. The unimus of this outburst
amounts 70 nothing. especially as the
protest goes on To declare that the pro-
posed demonstration appears to have the
approval and aid of the present national
administration. as evidenced 10y the do
nation of cannon and other munitions
of war
No doubt the patriotism and the
politics of the post would have been
stirred to stll greater depths had the
members Of the organization known that
Fitzhugh Lee. an eX-Confederate major
general. and one OF Cleyeland's ap-
pOintees. was TO be one of the unwilling
orators The statement In the protest
regarding slavery. however. is of some
importance IN that, like all similar ut
terances it emphasizes the necessity OF

duty TO see that one is written.
