THE DAVIS MONUMENT.

It will be remembered by those who participated in the Birmingham and Houston reunions of Confederate Veter- ans that there are two organizations which have charge of the work of build ing a monument at Richmond to the memory of President Davis. These are the Davis Monument association and the Davis monumental committee of the United Confederate Veterans. The for mer committee is composed of Virgin ians The latter is composed of one mem Der from each southern state which fur nshed fighting men to the Confederacy.
 The last two committees have agreed upon Monroe park as the site of the mon ument, and also that the local board, of which Hon. J. T. Ellyson of Richmond is chairman, may appoint a committee to secure design for the monument. The action of the committee however, is to be subject to the approval of the board and of the monument committee repre- senting all the states of the Confeder- acy The Richmond Dispatch of the 18th says:
 "The correspondence perfecting this arrangement was read at the meeting of the board yesterday afternoon and at the next meeting of the board the committee on design will be appointed. It will con- sist of seven members, with President J.. Taylor Ellyson at it's head. Three of the seven members will be persons who are experts in matters likely to come before the committee.
 "As Dispatch readers know. the mon ument is to be erected in Monroe park, and the corner stone of it will be laid next May, when the United Confederate Veterans will hold their grand encamp- ment here in the auditorium to be erected upon the exposition grounds.
 "The arrangement of this matter marks the beginning of very active work in behalf of the monument, which it is intended shall be worthy of the president of the Confederacy and creditable to the southern people The monument fund is not yet nearly so large as it is desired that it should be, collections not having been pushed during the period of busi- ness prostration, but in the course of a few weeks agencies will be set to work all over the south, and it is not doubted that the results will be commensurate with the purpose of the people,"

THE LIQUOR QUESTION.

It is rather curious to see a clergyman declaring in favor of free liquor trade but it is a fact that all sensible men know the greater part of the corruption of local politics and politicians is due to legislative regulations of the traffic. In his address to the Episcopal diocesan convention at Albany on Tuesday, Bishop Doane took the ground that the state should leave the sale of liquor to be gov erned by the law of supply and demand, and should not undertake "to exercise any special control" over the traffic "other than that which it exercises over the sale of other things" The present method of giving It special privileges by license and subjccting it to special re- strictions, he argued, drives it into com bination for the use of it's political in- f1uence in defense of its business inter- ests. The way to get the saloons out of politics, the bishop of Albany thinks, Is to cease to make their business peculiar by a legal treatment which separates and distinguishes 1t from trade generally. If they were thus left to take their chances along with the rest he believes, with good reason, that no more liquor would be sold, for "there would be no more liquor saloons than the thirst of the neighborhood requires" Having no long CT need to exert political influence for their protection against legal discrmina- tion, the saloons would cease to be "ccn- ters of political power"

A Big New York Strike.

New York, Nov. 1S.-At the office of the J. B. and J. M. Cornell iron works it was stated that over 400 of their employees at work on twelve buildings had gone on a strike today, as had about 800 men em- ployed by Milekin Bros. on eight build- ings. In addition about 100 men were called out on buildings in Brooklyn, mak- ing a total of over 1000 men employed by the two firms called out as a starter. The strikers are membrs of the House smiths and Bridgemen's unions. In case non-union men are put to work sympa- thetic strikes will be ordered. From 10. : GOO to 10000 men are likely to be called out in sympathy, The strike has been indorsed by the board of walking dele gates and by the central labor union The demands of the union include a wage scale running from $3.50 a day for firemen finishers to $2.50 dey for black smith finisbers It is said that if the strike is not settled in short time it is likely to be extended to other members of the Iron league. Forty thousand men may be affected The board of state ar bitration will meet at the Murray Hill hotel today and endeavor to bring about compromise with the employees with a view to arbitration.

PUBLIC OPINION.

If $10,000,000 is the market price of dukes, the Vanderbilt family can easily handle the whole English output.-Chi- cago Times-Herad, Dem.
 The news from the east is that the sultan is still being menaced. Still, there is no potentate now before the public who is more entitled to it.-New York Advertiser.
 It is not likely that the friends of Ali son, Reed. Mckinley and the other re- publican candidates will permit the country to forget that about the only city that has gone democratic this year is the home of Benjamin Harrison.-Chi- cago Tribune, Rep.
 MT. Cleveland has always felt that he was better than his party. He will do well to exhaust the pleasure of that sen- sation as rapidly as possible, for at the present rate of democratic disintegratio he won't have party much longer as a basis of comparison.-New York Tri- bune, Rep.
 Senator Quay is reported to be in favor of the nomination of Governor-elect Bradley of Kentucky as the candidate of the republican party for the vice-presi- dency. It is first-class idea and Ken lucky deserves the honor. The Bradley boom has come to stay.--New York Re corder (Rep)
 Success should and will crown the movement to erect children's monu- ment to the memory of Eugene Field To this end the children of the land should address themselves to the pleasu- rable work of raising the funds necessary 10 the project. It is but a small measure of appreciation for the gifts which Flu gene Field showered on the curly head of hildhood.-Chicago Mail
 The impudence of Lord Dunraven in seeking to excuse his unsportsmanlike conduct by accusing the New York Yacht club of cheating on the measurement of the Defender is simply astounding. The most charitable construction to be placed upon such conduct is that his mind has given way under the strain of his success sive defeats-that he is suffering under an alteration of intellect-Boston Post.
 It is pleasant to think that our North Atlantic squadron is at last considerably superior to Great Britain's. But it should not be forgotten for an instant that this is our principal station, while with her, we suppose, it is not more than fourth rate. It would do great harm if the idea should get abroad that the American navy, in which the American people have shown such pride and interest, has as yet nearly approached completion.-New York Press.
 In the number of saloons New York has 7340 licensed places, or one to 234 of the population; Chicago has 70OO or one to PAP; Philadelphia, 1855, or one to S41 and Boston, 10S0, or one to 300. There is no complaint of thirst in Philadelphia or Boston, and these cities are not cursed with the low dives that exist in this city and Chicago. Mayor Warwick's state ment is especially instructive. The num- har nf cn1n in ilad daJya creased 5000 in six years under high license.-New York World, Dem.

WITH THE oNE.TENTH.

Governor Oates is not and will not be a candidate for governor next year Cap tain Johnston is candidate. These two facts are we'll known to the Montgomery Advertiser. It is also almost a settled fact now that no one will be candidate for the place In opposition to Captain Johnston, and of this the Advertiser is aware. The necessity for party unity and party harmony in Alabama is very great, and with this fact the Advertiser is thoroughly familiar. Only 0 few days ago that paper was calling frantically upon Governor Oates to stand for re- nomination. going so far as to assert that Captain Johnston was too loyal 8 demo- crat to stand for the place should the gov ernor demand a renomination-implo the governor to go back on his oft re- peated declaration that he would not be candidate all for the sake of party unity and party harmony. But the governor preferred to stand by his former declara tions to surrendering to the whms of the Advertiser. The result: Captain John ston, the loyal democrat, about which that paper spoke only the other day, stands as the only candidate for the dem ocratic nomination. Nine-tenths of the democratic papers of the state and equal ly as great a percentage of the demo- cratic voters say let Captain Johnston have the nomination; he is good dem- ocrat; he is capable; he is and has always been loyal; he is entitled to 1t; he can carry the party banner to victory in Au- gust; the Advertiser is among the one tenth of the state press lending its en- ergies to create discord, seeking to ere ate strife by trying to get some other democrat to enter the race, never once taking advantage of the present oppor- unity to prevent a contest next year in the party for the nomination. If the Ad- vertiser can name the candidate party harmony>is absolutely necessary; if the Advertiser cant name the candidate, party harmony must take a back seat.
 How can a paper with such little re- gard for consistency as the course of the Advertiser shows it to have and so lit tie care for party harmony when it's own wishes are mot to be gratified be expected to wield any influence with intelligent, thinking people? The Advertisers great solicitude for democratic unity, demo- cratic harmony and democratic success fades away unless she is playing game. heads she wins- tails you lose.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.

It is gratifying to the old alumni of the Virginia university to know that steps are being taken to rebuild at once. It is estimated that $500, ,OO0 will be needed. At the date, November 12, of the meeting of the committee appointed to consider ways and means it was reported that $12,620 had been raised. It is said that MT. Charles Bradway Rouss of New York had offered $25,O00 and had ob- tained $500 from others. These contri- buttons aggregate over $42,000, which is quite a flattering sum at such an early stage of the canvass. The numerous alumni of this celebrated institute, es- pecially the lawyers who learned their profession from Professor Minor and others, will no doubt contribute freely to the restoration of the old halls where memory is consecrated by the la bors of generations of the foremost men of the south. The first two Masters of Arts of the University of Virginia were Hen ry Tutwler and Robert M. T. Hunter. The career of MT. Hunter as a statesman places him in the foremost ranks of the men of his day. Among his public pa- pers there is no more profound or de- serving of greater attention today than his celebrated report upon finance and currency as chairman of the senate f. nance committee. It is a paper that will live in history. The career of MT. Tut wiler was as distinguished in the field of education as was MT. Hunters in pol itics. Hundreds of the brightest men of Alabama received their training at his hands and the memory of his splendid at i'm ntc Inff he aofor ic eli cherished by the state.
 It would be impossible to enumerate the men of Alabama who owe their edu- cation to the University of Virginia They are in every rank of life, and al- ways at the top. We are sure that it will be a labor of love with them to aid in swelling the fund needed to rebuild the old rotunda and the annexes. We notice that there are propositions looking to new plans for rebuilding. By all means let the restoration follow the old plans, so that when the alumni visit their old alma mater they may be gladdened with familiar sights.
 At the meeting of the committee to which we have alluded, which was at the office of Governor O'Farrell, the ques- ton as to the plan of rebuilding was dis cussed. The report of the Richmond Dispatch is as follows:
 MT. Mccormick was the spokesman for the committee. and gave the views of himself and associates at some length He paid 0 handsome tribute to thIs moth CT of universities, declaring that when she was rebuilt the old structures should be suppla nted by buildings of such mag nicence aud equipped with such school appliances as to place the University of Virginia in the front line with all the greatest colleges cf the Uuited States He wanted 1t to be not simply the pride and glory of the south. but of the nation MT. Mccormick expressed The views Of the other members of the committee when he said that the stately rotunda.

Good Advice to Farn,ers.

Messrs. Middleton & Ravenel. the well known cotton brokers of Charles ton, have Issued very inter esting cir cular on the cotton stuation.. The open letter will be sent to all of their corre- spondents throughout the south. It con- tains many striking facts and figures, and it will be read with keen interest by the cotton planters and cotton men in this and other states. The writers say in substance that the great danger which menaces the country is that an enormous crop of cotton will be planted next sea- son. They predict that if this is done that prices will not only go lower than they now are. hut that cation next sea-
