THE BATTLEABBEY OFTHEs SOUTH

AT the committee meeting of the Con-
federate Memorial Society, held at
Lookout Mountain Wednesday evening.
nineteen States were represented. This
committee has in charge the direction of
the fund Of 100000 given by Mr.. Charles
Broadway Rouss. OF New York, to erect
n memorial hall or Battle Abbey OF the
South. and the object OF the meeting
was to devise plans for raising a like
amount. Mr.. Rouss making his gift con-
ditional that the second 500, 900 should
amount given by himself. General W.
II. Jackson. chairman of the commit
tee. presided over the meeting. The
offer of Mr. Rouss to increase his sub
scription to 100000. provided the me-
mortal hall be located in Washington
CITY, did not meet with the approval OF
the United Confederate Veterans at
their meeting in Richmond last July,
and he has withdrawn that offer. Gen.
Jackson SAYS the location OF the memo
rail- hall will not be settled until after
the money Is raised. probably two years
hence.
Col A. G. Dickinson. who represented
Mr.. Rouss at the committee meeting
said that Mr.. Rouss had stated to him
that Richmond. owing to her historical
connection with the Confederacy. should
have the preference. but as Virginia has
taken less interest in the matter than
several other Southern States, Rich
mond would not be favored more than
anv other Southern city.
That Virginia has taken less interest
in the proposed movement for a Battle
Abbey than her sister States will. no
DOUBT. be surprise to many. certainly
1t Is news to many of our people, who
have been under a contrary impression.
AT all events The Virginian would like
to see the building located at Richmond.

WHOM DOES M'KINLEY WISH To
PROTECT7

Under this caption the Alexandria
Times pertinently asks. Whom does
Mckinley wish to protect?" and then
proceeds to answer It's own question as
follows:
Does he expect to protect the
farmers? Certainly not: for his tariff
raises the price of everything the farm
er consumes. So no protection for the
farmer
Does he expect to protect the me-
chanic?
No. for the work done by the build
Ing trade. ETC.. is admitted TO be out
OF the range OF tariff duties. So no pro-
lection for the mechanic.
Does he expect to protect the sailor Z?
NO. because the sailor lives by for
eign trade. and the tariff Is ayowedly
aimed at the diminution of our foreign
uade. SO no protection for the sailor.
chant?
NO. for the merchants profits would
be gained on his sales under high or
low tariff. So no protection for the
merchant.
Does he intend to protect the Ame,l.
can workman in the mills and !n ,he
mines?
mo. for if he did he would advise
| such a combination OF IN. laierf.I
revenue and the tariff systems as Was
set out In this paper some months ago
So no protection for the workman.
docs he intend to protect the rich
rniil-owners. the corporations that en-.
plov men at unfair wages?
| Yes. that is precisely what his politi
clans do expect and intend"

' tect the people. In q letter written BY

AGITATION FOR THREE MORE
YEARS.


They say If Mckinley is elected the
country will be put upon sound nnan-
cial basis and there will be no longer
any cry of hard times. but how Is he
going to do 1t? Even If this were soft
good times would result from his
election, which is not fact-the Repub-
llcans would have to win two National
elections, those of 1896 and 1898, in order
to get control OF the Senate Without
the Senate they cannot put in operation
any financial programme and they do
not control that body. nor can they un-
less they win both electlons-1Ss6 and
1888. In the meanwhile the agitation
goes on. and the country is the sufferer.
Ii Mckinley is elected the agitation will
continue three years before any relief
can be afforded. even II they are able
to give relief. which is not believed.
however. and the country wants all agl-
tation to cease. If Mckinley Is elected
the government will be compelled to
continue the sale of bonds until the Re-
publicans get control OF both the Execu-
tive and Legislative branches of the
government. and evn then in what way
do they guarantee relief? Those who
desire proper order OF affairs should
keep in mind these facts

"AIsGUIDED FARMERS"

Jacob Kemple. who has been trying
to do some missionary work In Wirgini
for Mckinley, has returned to New
York and makes this report at the Re-
publican headquarters:
The sound money element is
strong in Virginia. In no case will
that class of people support Bryan,
and this includes, OF course, the
sound-money Democrats.
The sound money Democrats Will
exert every effort to influence the
farmers. who at this time are the
most misguided class of citizens
whomtI found in Virginia. My opn-
ion Is that the electoral vote of Vir-
ginia will be given to Mckinley
and Hobart"
Misguided farmers" indeed. This
is good. but why did not the observant
kemple remain In Virginia and help In
the work of leading the misguided
people out OF the wilderness? Perhaps
he found the task too grea. for his un-
dertaking and left the mission to his
new found allies. This is a time. how
ever. when the farmers listen to their
friends and not to their enemies.

The Effect of Bad Butter.

Every pound of poor butter blocks
the wheels of an active market, and
every pound sold at a low price dis
places to It more or less extent Il
pound of well-made butter at higher
price.
But this is not all; every pound Of
poor butter sold that is used on the
table tends to decrease consumption,
and in this way lessons demand while
really good butter helps to increase
the consumption and demand for the
better article.
The man that makes butter of infe-
rior quality labors for a very low pro-
fit, or none at ALL while the maker Of
the better quality of product does no
more work, but is able to realize at
least fair profit.
1t will be a long time before the
quantity of poor butter manufactured
will be lessened sufficiently to cause
any increase in prices, and there can
be a considerable increase in the guam
tity of really tirst-class butter made be-
fore there will be any great decrease IN
price. In a majority of cases a better
profit can be realized by feeding the
milk to calves, pigs or poultry, than to
continue making it into poor quality
of butter and sending it to an over
stocked market.

battered down the door of tie farm

OF the lamp until he beat retreat and
the other robbers ran away. One Of
the three was afterward arrested

+ COOKING AND EATING.

| Not Every Man Knows How to Do
Either Properly.
At one time, some 200 or 300 years
ago, Italy held the palm for cookery,
and the French Knocked at what Mon
taigne termed lie science de guelle, says
London Chat. Then came other days,
when masters of the art, such as Bech-
ameil, maitre d'hotel of Louis the
Magnificent, and Vatel, the famous
steward of the prince de Condi, ruled
over the aesthetics of the dinner table,
and when great ladies, even princesses
of the royal blood and mattresses en-
titre, thought it no indignity to direct
the course of a dish or to themselves
prepare it. Princess Soubise Invented
the PURGE d'oignons that is even now
called after her. The princess of
Conte gave her name to a particular
mode of serving a breast of mutton;
the duchess of Muilly, vying with her
to a special way of dressing a leg of the
same Wand. The emile Louise de la
Valliere was a great adept in all Gull
nary lore, and Nine. de Maintenon,
self prepare les colelettes ct papillOte
for the delectation of her royal mas
ter In fact, so alarmed was she when
Louis XIV. showed a prediction for
carre du mouton a la Conte that she
called in Pere Lachaise who, in his
turn, invoked the aid of another priest,
with the triumphant result that Ca
&c, ic-
torically of having been the dish that
weaned the toO-Susceptible monarch
from the pitfalls of the princess and
fixed him in the paths of virtue by the
side of the Widow Scarron. With all
due respect to Mgr. Sayarin, it is not
every man of sense who knows how to
eat Witness the first Napoleon and
the great Carlyle, men who swallowed
their food in great gulps, running alike
their health and, what is synonymous
with health, their temper also. Every
one is not like Mr.. Gladstone, who
lays it down as an axiom, that food
should be turned over in the mouth at
least twenty or thirty times before it
is finally swallowed, so do not deceive
yourselves. The most important hour
that a day has in store for you, the
axle on which all else turns health,
business, wealth, happiness-is that
hour which is ushered in by what By
ron calls 1.-The tocsin of the soul" that
is. the dinner bell. 1t is a time for
which to prepare ourselves with sol
emnity BETTING such a grave occa-
sion and is not to be rushed into
lightly. as if it were of little or no mo-
ment. Otherwise, how has it arisen
that the favored ones of the earth
habitually cast off the garments of
toll, the coat of varied hues and I'M
mentionable garments of UNMARRIED
form, and attire themselves de rigueur
whenever it is a question of dinner?
