FOR THE BATTLE ABBEY.

Tho following circul .r has been pre-
seuted to officers and members of camps
of q nited Confederate Veterans
Comrades We have the honor to
transmit to you the enclosed address,
issued by the executive committee.
The board of trustees is determines
to carry to a successful finish the laud-
able purpose committed 10 its charge.
The board has undertaken the raisr G
OF funds to duplicate and add to the
munifcsnt donation of Comrade Chas
B. Rouss, of New York, and naturally
applies to the organized camps of the
United Confederate Veterans tor
prompt pecuniary assistance, that Il @
expense on construction and the
endowment fund of the association may
be made ss great as possible, and be re-
ported to the general meeting Of United
Confederate Veterans at their annual
reunion in this city in May next.
The board oftrustees are earnestly at
work and are endeavoring to push for
ward the raising OF money with the
determination of securing the neces-
sary fund to enable the erection Of
suitable memorial building, within
which to preserve the archive records
of southern valor and endurance, to-
gether with the literature Of the four
years of unqualified hardships in the
field and at home.
Now is the time to act. Further de-
lay may defeat the purpose of the
board, as they will scatter and
destroy many relics that the sssocia-
tion desires to preserve.
When it is remembered that every dol
lar now raised will be covered with
another, through the great liberality
of COmrade Rouse, 'it is the common
est kind of plain business sense to meet
him with the largest possible local do
nations, that his liberality may be
made available, and memorial edifce
erected to the heroism of the Southern
people,"
1t is suggested and respectfully urg-
ed upon all division, brigade and camp
mmanders to p-1yide for money
collection by every c mp in the U. V.
C. organization on the 10th of January,
The birthday of Gen. Robt. E. Lee, for
the benefit of the association.
OF course it is noC intended that ef-
forts should be delayed until then, or
to cease after that time, but the object
of this suggestion is to make that day
memorable one ia the work which
should enlist the deep interest of every
Confederate soldier. ~ho, while accept
ing and upholdipg oyally the results of

The Times and the Newsooys

EDITOR He sALD:-ln writing these lines
| presume you have read with much dis
gust The seli-laudations of the Times and,
which the "Hoodoo's" paper attempts to
picture the present situation as regards
the "Newshoys' Home subscription list"
Any casual observer or reader knows
that the very fact of tue Times subscribing
to the fund, and its advertising of the
same, is enough to "poodoo" the charitable
work in which so many are engaged.
Eut suppose we should look more deeply
into the matter. that we might see it tine
subscription of the Times was charity for
the boys. Certainly not, if the past actions
of Otis ''hoodoo" be taken in considera-
ton. Has not the Times, in all the past
efforts of the newsboys or their friends to
better their condition, opposed them? Was
it not the Times that bitterly opposed the
"Newsboys' union," a society which was
formed with the hope of having the good
fortune to ultimately secure home for
themselves? Was it not the Times that
forced the newsboys to strike. and did not
the Times cause the arrest of many of
these harmless orphans for petty offenses
committed during the strike? In short.
the Times has always opposed the news
boys and their interests.
But the Times has offered their $1,000
under certain conditions. and Otis knew
that his so-called subscription would de-
feat the good purpose. He did it that he
might maintain his old grudge against the
boys. But he has admirably hoodwinked
the good people in charge of the home, and
the new sboys will have to wait some time
for their home. Meanwhile the Times is
considered IA great benefactor and the
board OF directors of the home will chant
his praises. Verify. "money covereth a

REDUCTION IN PRICE

That The HERALD leads in newsgath-
ering and all else that goes to the max
ing of first class metropolitan jour-
nal Is too we'll recognized in Southern
California to need trumpsting in these
columns. But the publishers feel JUS
titled in calling the attention Of the
public to the fact in connection with
one of the most important steps ever
taken by California newspaper, viz:
The reduction in price of this popular
daily from 65c to SOC per month.
This reduction, which will make The
HERALD the cheapest morning news
paper in California, will go into effect
the first OF next April.
The large and rapidly growing circu-
lation which The HERALD now enjoys,
and the fact that the advertising de-
partment yields revenue far greater
than ever before, enables the publish
ers to make this lowered subscription
rate.
This is an era OF cheap newspapers
throughout the east, and the proprie.
tors Of THE HERALD have determined
to give the people of Southern Califor-
MIA all the advantages enjoyed by east
ern readers. There is, however, still
another and more important reason
for reducing the subscription price of
The HERALD to mere nominal sum,
i. g.. the determination of the manage
ment to enlarge the circulation until it
shall be second to none in Southern
California. The results during the
past few months have been very graft
flying. Subscriptions have been rolling
in by the hundreds from Los Angeles
and all other Southern California
towns, showing that good newspaper
is appreciated. And while The HERALD
may not publish as many columns on
certain days of the week as some of
it's cumbrous and vapid contempora-
ries. it will be the best all-around, up
to-date newspaper in this section, even
outdoing its creditable record in fur
nishing news the past year. The Sun
day editions of The HERALD will be
especially notable and excellent, and
will challenge comparison with those
issued by any paper on the coast.
On the first of April The HERALD's
battery of Mergenthaler typssetting
machines will be in effective operation,
and a newspaper printed on bright,
neat, new, clean dress of type will be
presented to its thousands Of readers
every morning.

A SUPERFLUOUS APPENDAGE

There is gro wing sentiment among
the people in favor of abolishing chap
lains in congress and other Legislative
bodies. No good reason can be given
for the continuance of that supsrhous
appendage, the legislative chaplain
There are, however, several cogent rea-
sons why he should be dropped out.
A religious exercise in political
body assembled for purely political
and business purposes is out or place,
as there are likely to be present per-
sons of various religious beliefs and
disbeliefs, including some to whom
such an exercise is distasteful. Fur
thermore, there is no affinity between
a sincere prayer and the average legis-
lation of the country. They will no
more harmonize than light and dark
ness. To say that the regulation
prayer offered by chaplain before
legislative body is a cold formality,
would be drawing it mild. 1t is
worse than that-it is farce
To bs convinced of this, any
intelligent person need be present
only few times on such oc-
casions. The members do not go
there to listen to prayers or any other
religious exercises. They are there to
look out for the temporal interests of
their constituents-and their own.
Especially their own. Their minds are
filed with thoughts concerning bills,
elections, speeches. motions, chairman
ships, appropriations, committee re-
ports, points of order, adjoarnmants,
and almost every thing except devo-
tional feelings. The voice of the chap
lain falls on practically deaf ears. The
members, almost to man, consider the
prayerful part of the program useless
and are glad when it is ended.
Under such conditions it is impossi-
BILE that the chaplain's devotional plea
should touch the hearts, benefically,
of those whom it is intended to reach.
On the contrary the tendency is toward
weakening their respect for religious
exercises and, in fact, for religion itself.
Thus the time is worse than wasted aud
the standard of religion lowered.
The same criticisms will apply to the
foolish custom of having prayer offered
in political conventions. On such oc-
cssions scarcely anything could be
more incongruous and useless than a
prayer. Little or no attention is given
to the invocation Of the clerical gentle
man on the platform when he asks the
Divine blessing upon the delegates,
who ara present for the sole purpose of
grinding political axes. An illustration
Of this occurred in the national Repub-
lican convention held in an eastern
city few years ago.
