THE silver cause has been made the
vehicle for carrying to the forefront all
the agitation upon the money and every

a close these other questions. and the
country would return to an era OF pros

ITO bring about this prosperity there

be made during period Of agitation and

silver have the power 10 drive away In

II am confident that the great mass OF
the people of the South and West realize
all this, even though the active politicians
do not, and as a consequence the poll

a Washington special Of Sunday says:
Comptroller Eckels. who has started for
Chicago IN order TO be early on the ground
with his influence for sound money, has
given the Southern Democrats a nut 10
crack. Before he departed he discussed
the question OF the shortsightednsss or
the Southerners In their demand for a
financial policy so much at variance with
their best interests. Referring 10 the eff
forts of Eastern Democrats to secure for
the South complete political freedom. Mr..
Fckes said:
In the efforts 10 advance Southern
prosperity the people OF no State have
been as liberal. as interested. and more
unsel1ish than those OF New York. The
result of all this has been that until the
present crisis the proudest boast OF the
Southern citizen has been OF his new and
great prosperity. and the phrase. The
New South, has been the expression of IL.

GEN. LEES FAREWELL ADDRESS.
Colonel MarshaIFs Explanation or
How IL Was Prepared.

Colonel Charles Marshall, a few years
ago made public the manner in which
General Lees farewell address was pre-
pared:
ION our return" said he from the In
teryiew with General Grant at McLeans
house or April g. 1856, after some CONVEX
sation with the staff on the incidents OF
the morning General Lee directed me 10
prepare a general order to the army ap-
propriate to the occasion. During the
rest of the day l was so constantly occu-
pied with details that I had no time to
write the order, so that next morning
when the General called for IL ii was
not prepared. He then directed me to
get into his ambulance standing before
his tent and get to work at 1t at once,
and placed an orderly on guard to pre-
vent my being interrupted. AS soon as
/ had made a draft in lead-pencil l sub
mltted it TO the General. who struck out
a whole paragraph and made some verbal
alterations, when l had the rough draft
thus corrected signed by General Lee
This was copied and signed 5y him for
corps commanders and stan officers. and
many COPIES were made and his auto
graph procured as souvenirs by couriers
ana persons about headquarters"
GENERAL ORDERS, NO. ..
The order as corrected by General Lee
and as IT was issued 10 the army. IS as
follows:

tosRich,nond, where he received a wei
come which exceeded even that OF his de-
voted followers at Appomattox. But
Lees great heart was broken, ana In
little more than five years he was laid 10
rest. as had been his right arm" jack
son. at Lexington. in the Valley or VIZ
ginia."
LAID DOWN THEIR ARMS.
Little more of the surrender remains 70
be told. The details were drawn up after
the departure Of Lee, and were signed py
the Federal generals-Gibbon, Grim, ana
Merritt-and on the part of the Conted-
crates by Generals Longstreet, Gordon,
and Pendleton. After this the Sonfed-
crates marched to a designated point anu
laid down their arms. The rank ana me
of the northern army was about hait
mile off, and there was some little COM
plant on their part that they were not
allowed nearer TO their old enemies. BY
order of General Grant every oemonstra-
ton Of Joy was suppressed
All of this happened before the majority
Of those who are alive to-day were porn.
To them It is az talo that is told. But
those whose fortune II was to follow the
Stars and Bars will ever remember Vividiy
tho sad ending of the greatest struggle IN
history Is It strange that he world
wondered when 1892 infantry, So pieces OF
artillery, and 2100 cavalry was all that
was left TO surrender TO an army OF more
than 5000 men?
These events while pleasant to speak
and think Of. are Of the past. To-day the
men Of the South cheerfully accept the
conditions as they find them. and would
not change them II they could. Peace
reigns supreme, and throughout this vast,
fair Southland of ours there Is not one
who regrets that
"The war drum beats no longer,
The battle-1ags are furled."

and Domestic.

NEW YORK, June 2s.-The stock mar
session almost demoralized. The Demo-
cratic leaders admit not only that the sill
yer men will dictate the platform, but
that they will name the candidate. These
statements alarmed timid holders OF secu-
rites, and encouraged the bears to make
demonstrations against the list. Profes-
sional operators. as usual. were the first
TO discern the uneasiness, and hammered
the list. Long stock came out freely, and
the fact was developed that the market
was honeycombed with stop-loss orders.
The May statements Of the st. Paul and
Burlington and Quincy roads proved to
be very unfavorable the st. Paul showing
a net decrease OF sl6l.i30. and the Bur
lington and Quincy a deficit OF s25O,Si6.
Furthermore, over 81. 10000 was with
drawn from the Sub-Treasury for ship
ment 10 Europe. The poor showing or the
Granger roads and the unexpected en-
gagements CT gold played indirectly into
tho hands Of the bear-leaders, and this.
with the prominence given the silver ques-
ton, made IT comparatively easy work
to depress values.
The decline In prices ranged from LIZ TO
4 IL per cent, the IndustrialS and
Changers scoring the heaviest losses. The
decline brought in London orders, and
usually well-nformed firms with Euro
mean connections placed the buying for
foreign account ut 4O.e0 shares. These
purchases stemIned the downward move
ment for O time. and Major McKinley's
e,sooch 80 tbo NoffocatfO COmmitfpp In
which he heartily endorsed the platform
Of the st. Louis convention, also acted as
a tonic, but in the late afternoon trading
the market developed renewed weakness,
and closed nervous.
The net changes show losses Of 1-414
per cent, Chicago Gas leading. The to-
tai sales were 3s4.29o shares. including
10000 Sugar, and 64.20o ST. Paul.
The railway and miscellaneous bond
market was weaker. The share-llst and
