On Aug. Is, 1854, says the Richmond Dis
patch, our command, the Ninth Virginia
Cavalry. Richmond, Light Infantry Blues
brigade William H. f. Lees division. Gen.
Wade Hampton in command, moved out
of camp in front of Maj. Nalone's resi-
dence, and crossed Rowanty creek to-
ward the Petersburg and Weldon rail-
road. In field abutting on the railroad
we were ordered to dismount and al
vance on foot as infantry. Just as the
head of the column came near the field,
where a fence had been pulled down by
the videttes, the captain of my company
pulled off his coat and rode as rapidly
across the field as his horse could carry
him. He was observed striking himself
and horse with his hat, and the head of
the column stopped.
Gen. Beale, seeing this, rode in advance
of US, but all at once he too, left US in
the same abrupt manner. Gems. Hampton
and Lee, observing this with astonisn-
ment, rode to the front, asking what was
the matter and why the column did not
advance. They soon found out, as their
horses began to kick and plunge abour.
and then they rapidly Joined our CAPTAIN
ana Capt. Beale. This was the first time
the bloody Ninth had ever seen their
brave leaders behave in such a manner.

had upset nest, and the little fiends de-
tended the road so well that we had 10
countermarch to enter the field.

The President ana Cuba.
From the New York Sun Dem.) }.

There seems to be ground for the be-
lief that Mr.. Cleveland has a plan of
his own for putting an end to the war
IN Cuba, and that he has suggested it
either to the Spanish minister at Wash
ington or in a dispatch to the American
minister at Madrid. His proposal is, we
learn, that the Madrid government shall
at once apply "a thorough system of
home rule to the island responsive to the
demands of the autonomist party the
consideration on his part being a promise
TO persuade the insurgents to accept the
reforms on his guarantee of their faith
full execution. We believe the scheme to
be unavoidable, for the reason that neither
the revolutionists, nor the party now in
power at Madrid, will accept it.

Was He JustIaabIe.

Recently the newspapers have had much
20 say in condemnation Of the ministers
Who have publicly excused Rev Dr.
: Morgan. a prominent clergyman OF New
York city. who was charged with having
preached as his own. on Easter sunday.
a sermon which he had taken from a
book o. sermons published about eight
years ago. Key. Dr. Morgan admitted the
charge The ministers. who appeared in
articles and in interviews in his behalf,
no: only defended him. but severely criti-
cised and condemned Rev. DR.. Lee. who
discovered the plagiarism and made Il
public.
We notice an interesting little item in
the Chicago Times-Herald. written BY
George II. YenOwine, in which the Rev
sam Jones, Nho recently drove the devil
out OF Atlanta, figures as the principal
character. We do not call attention to
this item for the purpose Of saying that
the Rev. Mr.. Jones does not practice
what he breaches, but simply 70 ask II
he was justified in doing what he did.
The occurrence was this: The Rev. Sam
Jones and Hon. Robert Ingerson were
booked to deliver lectures in Milwaukee
on the same night. The agent who had
booked the Rev. Mr.. Jones thought the
chance for his star getting an audience
under the circumstances was rather poor.
He sent him dispatch to that effect,
and suggested a postponement. The Rev.
Mr.. Jones refused TO consider a post
ponement. He said he could I'LL the larg-
est theater in town, Ingerson or no In
gersoll The agent said no more, bus
awaited events. All the seats in the In
gersol theater were sold and standing
room was at a premium on the day Of the
lecture. At Rev. Sam Jones' theater only
fifteen seats had been sold.
Rev. Sam Jones arrived in Milwaukee
an hour or two before the lecture was
to begin. A big snow storm was in prog
ress. Rev. Sam Jones agent met him at
the depot and told him the situation
that the receipts Of the lecture wouldn't
begin to pay for the theater and lights.
and that IL would be folly TO keep open
the house under the circumstances. The
agent asked Mr.. jones' what he should
do. Il guess" said Rev. Mr.. Jones. 4

go on to Duluth where am to lecture
tomorrow night, and you can have a
telegram pasted on the box-office window
that I am delayed by the snow storm and
consequently unable to reach the city in
time to keep my engagement"
Assuming that this story is true. was
the Rev. Sam Jones justihabe in giving
his agent such Instructions? AS a mat
ter Of fact, the agent was mistaken in
believing that Rev. Sam Jones couldn't
draw an audience against Mr.. Robert
Ingersoll. When he went to the theater
at 8 20 O. clock. to see that the house was
closed he found about 1000 people waiting
to welcome Rev. Sam Jones. They were
people who seldom visited theater, and
hence did not buy seats in advance. The
agent. therefore, under the instructions
given by Rev. Mr.. Jones. deceived a very
large number of people. Would ministers
in or out of the pulpit defend Rev. Sam
Jones' conduct on the occasion in ques-
ton?

DenatiOnalixing the Democratic

BETTER Than silver.

It is within the bounds of probability
that before many years the people or
Colorado who have been so loud in their
demand for free silver coinage VIII be
glad that silver declined in price. and that
our minis are not open to silver. The
decline in the price of silver gave silver
mining a setback, but it had the effect
of turning attention to gold mining. The
gold mining industry Of the state is stead
lily growing in Importance. and promises
to be of far greater benefit to the state
than the silver mining industry has ever
been or is likely TO be.
In the April number of the North Amer
lean Review there is an interesting ar
ticle on "Gold Mining Activity in Colo
gist of that state. He states that last
year Colorado produced s15,OOOO0O worth
Of gold. In 1892 the production amounted
to only S5.sOO,OO0 This increase of nearly
100000 is having its effect upon puo-
lie opinion Of the state. The people see
that what they have lost in silver they
have gained in gold, and that if they had
continued to devote their attention al
most exclusively to silver the gold pro-
duction would not have materially in
creased.
In 1898 the silver output was worth S2s.-
O56, 25o. and in 1895 it was worth Sls, 100. 600
a decrease Of ss.s6s.250. The Increase IN
the gold production in the same period
was $4,000. 1t will be seen. therefore.
that the increase in the value OF the gold
output came within S256250 Of balancing
the decrease in the value OF the OUT
put Of silver In another year the in
crease IN the value Of the output Of gold
viii be much greater. IN all probability.
than the decrease in the value OF the OUT
put OF silver. In that event we may
reasonably expect the demand in Colo
RADIO for free silver coinage VIII be much
less vigorous than II is now. A good sup
ply d gold is the very best remedy for
the silver craze.

A warning.
From the New york Evening Post Qnd)

The sound-money men in the democratic
party should take warning from this ac-
ton of the Missouri convention. 1t shows
that they must Immediately organize their
forces and fight for the control of every
state convention. or they will find, when
they reach Chicago next July, that the
majority of the delegates have been elect
ed upon platforms that declared for free
coinage. -Four conventions have now been
held, all of them in states beyond the
Mississippi. The success of the silverites
in Oregon, Washington and Colorado was
not surprising, and is not discouraging
But this cannot be said of the free
coinage vote of $50 to in the Missouri
convention, and the presentation of the
widest silver lunatic in the union as that
states "favorite son."

savannah's Prize Drill.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
The interstate prize drill to be held at
Savannah, commencing May IL, is being
much talked of in military circles. The
unusually large prizes set up for the
winners are causing many military mouths
to water. II is probable that the Citadel
cadets will try for the $500 offered
in the college cadet drill. There will be
quite a Charleston delegation in Savannah

A Couple of silly Suggestions.


Mr.. Chauncey F. Black, the chairman Of
the national league of the democratic
clubs. after having seen what the news
papers have to say about his suggestion
for the settlement of the differences Of
the democratic factions on the silver
question can hardly feel that the people
accord to him political sagacity akin to
genius. The suggestion that Mr.. Black
made is that the democratic candidate
for President agree that if elected he
would not veto any financial measure that
might reach him by the votes of a major
ity of the democratic members of con-
gress. The suggestion isn't worthy of
by the democratic party it would subject
the party to sneers and jeers and over
whelming defeat.
The suggestion alleged to have been
made by Senator Harris is hardly less
silly. 1t is that whichever faction is beat
en- at Chicago shall bolt and nominate
separate ticket with the understanding
that the electors chosen by each faction
shall vote for a President and Vice
President. one being sound money man
and the other a silverite. the faction hav-
ing the largest number OF electors having
the right to name the candidate for Pres
ident
1t is probable that there will be other
silly suggestions on the same line before
the meeting of the national convention.
None of them will meet with approval.
To adopt any. one of them. especially
either of those mentioned, would
not only bring about the overwhelming
defeat of the party. but its disintegra ton.
If the party cannot win the election
it can. at least. be held together for fu-
ture contests. The making of such sug-
gestions has the effect of discouraging the
party, and thus preparing it for defeat.
There is no good reason for admitting
the probability of defeat. With popular
sound money candidates on a sound money
platform the democracy would stand an
excellent chance for electing its presi-
dental ticket. We confidently expect to
see candidates and a platform of that kind.
If the silverites succeed in carrying out
their programme the democrats will Of
course be defeated, but defeat I'M
