ANOTHER INCIDENT.

AS illustrative of the intrepid valor
and military enterprise Of General
Lee, when that quality would serve
his purpose, I will mention another
incident, which, as far % I know, has

and pleasant men I ever knew. AS
gentle and as tender as a woman, he
possessed an enlarged knowledge Of the
physical sciences which always made
him instructive. And his State papers
were characterized by an erudition
rarely, if ever, surpassed by English
speaking scholars. In his official
capacity he was guided by a strong
sense of duty, and had but little toler-
alton for that class Of men who we're
given to much talk and had no real
information to communicate. Ii is
likely that such is the class who as
sumed that he was harsh and self
willed. You will understand that in
his position his whole time was neees-
sarily occupied with great duties and
cares, and that he could not afford to
spend his time in improbable talk.
In relation to suggestions which have
been made that he was self-willed and
did not consult others on public meas
ures, I know this to be incorrect. When
a question of Importance came up for
consideration, his habit was to exhaust
all available sources Of information,
whether from persons or document is,
and when this had been done and a
decision reached, that was an end Of
the question with him. And it is
probable that persons who, under such
circumstances, still insisted on further
discussion, without realizing the pres
sure on his time, thought him self
willed. You will understand that one
in his position, who had constantly to
be deciding the course to be pursued
on great questions, must have acted
as he did in order to get through with
the public business.

of the essential unity of the empire, upon
which was founded all their hopes. The
omens he added, were never more favora-
Bile, and he trusted their deliberations
would result in an advance toward the
goal OF all patriotic aspirations.
Mr.. Chamberlain dwelt upon the resolu-
ton of the Toronto Board of Trade,
which urged that ''the advantages to be
obtained by closer union between the
various portions of the British empire are
so great as to Justify an arrangement as
nearly as possible of the nature of n voll-
verein, based upon principles of the freest
exchange of commodities in the empire
consistent with the tariff requirements of
the local government of each kingdom,
dominion, province or colony now forming
part of the British family of nations"
The honorary president also touched
upon the resolutions adopted by other
chambers throughout the empire. All
the resolutions were presented to the con-
gress in printed form.
Mr. A. b. Osler submitted the resolu
ton of the Toronto Board of Trade, which
was first upon the program, and it was
seconded by the Marquis of Londonderry.

mending that steps be taken by the gov
ernment to secure an interchange of opin-
ion on the subject between Great Britain
and the other governments of the empire.

CAPT HEALY,S SENTENCE


Washington, June 9.-Secretary Car
Isle has taken action on the report of
the board appointed to investigate the
charges of drunkenness and conduct un-
becoming a gentleman preferred against
Capt NJ. A. Healy of the revenue cutter
Bear, stationed on the Pacific coast. The
board found him guilty of nearly all the
charges preferred against him and say
he should have been dismissed from the
service, but in view of Capt. Healy's
long and efficient service, recommended
him to the favorable consideration of the
secretary.
This recommendation of mercy was
adopted and the secretary mitigated the
sentence by ordering that Capt. Healy
be placed at the foot of the list of cap
tans and be suspended from rank and
duty on waiting orders pay for term
of four years and be publicly reprimand-
ed by the publication of the order on
board all revenue cutters. He further

THE SECTARIAN QUESTION.


Washington, June 9.-In the confer

bill, which was agreed upon today, n
change was made in the declaration of
the policy concerning schools. The word

1T is hereby declared to- be the set
tied policy of this government to hereafter
make no appropriations whatever for
education in any sectarian schools.

preparation to June 3, 1897, was amended
by provision that the amount shall be
apportioned as nearly as may be among
schools of various denominations.

price of such securities in all the mar

government is compelled to make it's sale
under the most favorable circumstances.
In general, the effect of each sale was
to restore confidence for the time-being,
at least in the power and purpose of the
government to maintain its own credit,
to preserve the parity of our coins and
the value of our currency, and to check
the return of our securities in large
amounts from other countries for sale in

THE TARIFF LEAGUE.

he American 1arIH League mas
issued a manifesto signed by its
president. Cornelius n. Bliss. The
work of the league in the cause OF
protection has produced great re-
suits wherever it is known, and the
scope of its influence should be made
coterminous with the country. The
league will dissiminate tariff lltera-
ture extensively during the coming
campaign, and Republicans would do
we'll to take advantage of its liberal
offers and post themselves with facts
and figures to overcome their free
trade friends. We gladly publish
the announcement of the League:
ssThe American Protective Tariff
League is grounded upon the funda-
mental idea that the American peo-
pie ought to produce for itself all
those things which it needs except
those upon which nature has placed
an embargo. Thus, as far as our
present knowledge goes. tea and
coffee cannot be naturally and eco
nomically produced on American
soil. 1t would, therefore, be an Of
fense against sound policy to seek
by tariff measures to encourage their
production here. On such articles
the duty would be purely for reve
nue.. Another condition, however,
appears when the disadvantage un-
der which we labor arises out of the
wage cost of human effort. This
raises at once the question of civili-
zation, fo- it is indisputable that the
comparative return which labor re-
ceives by way of reward for its SER
vice in the main determines the quail
1ty of the civilization which the vast
body of people may be able to sus-
tain.
1.-The Tariff League, therefore, finds
its field In educating the people to
understand that the simple and only
way in which that standard can be
maintained is to put such a tariff
duty on articles produced in another
country as will recognize the differ
ence between the labor cost in this
and the other country on like prod.
ucts, This is simply Ethe difference
between the money cost of maintain.
ing the civilization of the competing
country. Rightly understood, thi:
will furnish the raison d'etre of the
Tariff League.
t'It does not, however, seek to fur
nish specific planks for Republican
platforms. 1t desires only tha
every tariff shall breathe the spiri
of the Leagues philosophy, which il
that protection should be adequate tc
maintain what the Americans rightly
demand their homes shall be. The
application of this test to any par
ticular industry will at once sugges
the substance of party plank ant
the suitable scope of tariff Law
which will make it effective, and th,
American producer should have thu
benefit of any doubt as to the amour
of protection necessary to produc,
