Who Manufactured the Lie ?

The Richmond Times of Thursday
published the following important and
interesting letter:
HEADQUARTERS, GRAND ARMY OF THE
REPUBLIC.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 8, 1896
To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES:
Dear Sir,-Some one has sent me a
copy of your editorial, March 1st. on
that Parade of the Blue and the
Gray" in which you quote certain
statements that should have made in
an address to the Grand Army at their
Departmental EncampmenJ. at New
ark, Del, February 29th. in the ad
dress referred to, | made no reference
whatever to the proposed blue and
the Gray" parade in New York next
July, and fhe special telegram sent
out from Wilmington, purporting to
quote me was a pure fabrication made
out of whole cloth. l have made no
statements on the subject, other than
those contained in the correspondence
that passed between Mr.. Dana and
myself two months ago. l entertain
no such bitter sentiments as this dis
patch quoted toward tle men who
stood up in the ranks on the other side
and gave me a mans chance for my
life IN battle. We fought it out like
men. and | believe thao the matter
should be buried forever
Very truly yours.
In WALKER.
The author of the false telegram
should be detected and severely
punished. Any man who VIII know
ingly misrepresent another to his
prejudice, particularly in IL case like
this, through the papers of the coun-
try, should be ''lashed with whip of
scorpions, naked through tie world"
Walker should have corrected it

REPUBLICANS IN TROUBLE.-The
Washington correspondent of the Alex.
Gazette, under date of March 10th, says:
"That the Lambi'ies have issued two
circular letters, the last one signed by
Mr.. Newton, president of the Monroe
publicans here to indicate that they
and their cause are weak, and that
strong opposition the course he has
pursued has engendered. They say
that nearly all the old leaders of the
party are against him and that unless
all signs fail he will go into eclipse at
Staunton next month"

TOBACCO SToCK.-The sensation at
the Stock Exchange, New York, last
week was the enormous trading and
advance in American Tobacco stock,
the price having risen to 1884, against
70 Wednesday. There were any mum
Der of rumors afioat to account for the
sharp rise. 1t was said that negotia-
lions were on foot looking to a settle
ment of the bitter war now going on
in the West. This was caused by the
report that several large tobacco COM
panies would consolidate.

Spanish Side Ignored.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Alex. Gazette, under date of March
18th, says
1.-The fact was developed in the
Senate to-day that though the Spanish
side of the Cuban question had been
sent by the State Department to the
committee on foreign relations before
the Cuban resolution was reported,
the members of the Senate had spoken
and voted upon the resolution without
having had that side presented to
them"

A New York newspaper speaks of the
famous 'Black Horse Cavalry" as a
band of guerillas." But in doing so it
is no more incorrect than il or any 9th
er Northern newspaper is, concerning
the Southern part of the country. The
war between the States ceased only
thirty years ago, and yet a widely cir
culated Northern newspaper now
speaks of a regularly organized compa-
ny, of regularly organized regiment,
of a regularly organized brigade and
division of Confederate cavalry, as "a
band of guerillas" No wonder that of
all things. history should be the most
unreliab le-AleG. Gazette.

Senior Moret, SPANS Greatest Authority
.On International Law.

MADRID, March 14-At Saragossa
last night Senior Moret, the greatest
authority in Spain on international
law, delivered a lecture on the rights
of belligerents.
In the course Of his lecture Senior
Moret paid high compliment to Presi-
dent Cleveland's political foresiy hit
and prudence, and said he believed
the President would veto the resolu-
tions of Congress.
The lecturer affirmed that Europe
would not permit Cuba to belong to
the United States, since it was Gestin-
ed to be the Gibralter OF the Western
Hemisphere.
If "silence is golden" all the Repub-
lican Presidential candidate stand for
the gold standard. The Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette telegraphed to all
the candidates for clear definition
of your position on the money cues
tion," and published every last one of
them in full. 1t did not require much
space. They consisted of a telegram
from Quay saying that ''if possible we
must preserve the unity of the prrty'':
one from Elkins declaring that he was
lin favor of sound money'-and that
was all. In derision of its own topeu.
tied candidate, the Gazette published a
telegram from Mckinley perfectly
blank; another from the bold Reed,
also blank; Davis. Henderson, Allison,
