"Vigilant's" View Again.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch
We think it is your Misrepresentation
of the real suggestion made by Vigilant
that leads you 10 dissent so emphatically.
AS We understand IL. not only veterans.
but the public generally, will be entitled
to purchase the reduced-rate tickets TO
the reunion of the camps OF Confederate
veterans, and II the merchants (many OF
whom are not yeterans) can be induced to
come. witness the imposing ceremonies,
and spend a few days and purchase their
fan stocks. we can see no improperly
whatever in doing so.
The day of the great parade. on which
will also take place the ceremony Of
laying the cornerstone of the magnificent
monument TO be erected in honor OF
Jefferson Davis. will be observed as a
general holiday. and all of the stores will
be closed, but after that business will go
right on again.
There will be large number OF mer-
chants here without any invitation; then,
why not endeavor TO increase the number
by letting them know that the wholesale
houses here will be pleased TO attend to
their business wants at the same time?
This will not in the least infringe upon
our well-known hospitality, but viii really
add TO the great concourse. and so make
the occasion the erandest ever seen here.
Our papers have recently given the retail
trade much valuable assistance. but IL is
vastly more important TO the city's well
fare to increase and extend our whole
sale and jobbng interests.
Yours respectfully,
G.. HARVEY CLARKE.

stone Of the JEFF. Davis monument
1t is well. Many of them. In all human
probability, will never have another op-
portunity 10 meet so many OF their com
rades. The gathering will possibly recall
. some sad memories of occasions and deeds
that should be kept fresh and green In
the southern heart-of deeds OF fame
more endearing than brass or bronze.
However. Richmond may open her homes,
her heart, and her purse. she cannot add
n laurel to the crown Of generous courtesy
extended at the unwilling OF the Lee
monument several years ago. The world
never witnessed such day. and II could
only have occurred there, at the centre
OF the lost Cause"

Confederate Veterans.
(Danville Revlow)


As the time approaches for the grand
runiOn Of the ex-Confederates al Rich
mond. new interests in the old heroes
seem to be awakened to an extent not
before witnessed since the Stars and Bars
were furled at Appomattox. There are
many reasons for this. chief among which
IS the knowledge that in a few years the
last old soldier who followed Lee and
Jackson and Johnston will have gone 10
swell the ranks Of his comrades beyond
"the dark river" Another reason is that
a patriotic people are ever ready TO pay
tribute 10 valor, and crown the hero
with laurels; and another is that the
coming occasion will. perhaps, be the
last opportunity they will ever have OF
assembling on so large a scale in the
city so long and 50 gloriously defended.

have a Florence Nightingale. Mrs. Lee
Willard Hill, second cousin OF the Consul
General TO Habana, Fitzhugh Lee. Is a
trained nurse, and a graduate Of the
New York Nurses Training School. Fully
realizing all the dangers of such a trip,
it is her fixed intention to 80 TO the
assistance of the wounded and dying
soldiers of the Cuban army. The officers
Of the junta have told her the chances OF
her return to this country are very slight,
but she desires to go TO the field. Her
services will be Of the greatest value.
and she will go on the next expedition.
Mrs. Hill is a widow, although less than
p years old. and has most attractive
manner. Her mother. who is enthusiastic
over the project, it is said. carried dis
patches for General Beauregard in the
late war, and Mrs. Hill has roughed II
upon the plains, and knows what hard
ships there are in camp life. She Will
wear i'm Cuba neat suit Of dark canvas

Chairman Harrity is entirely right in
his declaration that the free-silver IA
uatics who have announced their purpose
TO come to the Democratic National Con-
yention I'm Chicago to support the party
ticket If free silver is accepted. and 10
bolt it if honest money is sustained,
should not be admitted TO It's delibera-
tions. The national convention of party
is called TO reconcile differences and
those who come with single ideas. pro-
posing to secede If their vagaries are not
adopted. can have no just claim TO ad-
mission to such body, and every delega-
ton that comes to Chicago with the decla-
ration that they viii support only the
candidate and the platform which offer
degraded currency should be halted at
the threshold of the convention and de-
MED participation in its councils.-Tne
Philadelphia Times.
Yes, but who is TO do the "haltng?'
Not the National Committee, for 1t has
no authority to. In this matter only the
convention has power to act.
We do not understand that Mr.. Harrity
has advanced any such scheme as that
referred TO by the Times, but If he has,
and means TO propose II seriously, he
will find that number of the goldite
members OF the National Committee will
not support him.
No. the committee must make up the
roll of the convention according to the
well-established rules of the party, and
leave the convention itself to dispose OF
all other questions that may arise.

The Wheeling Register says that Mr..

The Coliseum, in Chicago, in which .he
National Democratic Party will hold It's
convention. beginning on July 7th, is large
enough to seat $4,000 persons. but /; will

The Coliseum covers seven acres, and is
built of iron and glass. IT cost $5O0,OoO,
eight miles from the principal hotels in
the city, but the suburban trains of the
Illinois Central railroad and cable cars
pass its doors every three or four minutes.
The Coliseum is not yet completed. but
1t is expected to be by June LIST, when
Buffalo Bits show will occupy it for
fifteen days. In the fall Barnum and

TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
DIR. Oppenhimer Thinks the Council
should Take some Action.

1ctions
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
l wish to state through your columns
that the inspection of the Grantland
Dairy was at the solicitation Of Mr..
Grant and Mr.. Penick, the owners. These
gentlemen wished to avoid selling diseased
milk. whatever expense they might there
by incur. Accordingly, on wednesday
last the Board OF Health, with the Mayor.
a number of members of the City Council.
physicians, veterinary surgeons. and other
citizens. went up to Grantland on special
train. kindly furnished by the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad.
The inspection revealed the fact that
nine of the herd were infected with tuber-
culosis. MIR. Grant and Mr.. Penick
Immediately determined to rid the herd
of these animals. The post-mo,tem
proved every animal condemned by DR..
Hiles, State Veterinarian, to be infected
with tuberculosis.
There is no law requiring such animals
to be killed or preventing the sale Of
their milk in this city. The Board Of
Health will call the attention Of the
Council TO this important subject, and
will Try to have law passed protecting
the public against the consumption OF
diseased meat and milk.

President Board Of Health.
