THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.

Mr. Andrew Carnegie. whom every
body knows is Il staunch Republican.
has the following to say in the North
American Review as to who is response
BILE for the present unsettled monetary
condition of the country:
1T was the Republican party that
poisoned the currency of the nation. 1t
was the Republican party that dou bled
the amount of poison which speedily
produced its bancful effect. 1t threat
ened the capital of the world abroad and
il Slapped the roots of confidence at
home; hence the stagnation of business:
hence the contrast between 1SS0-1S90 and
1S90-la00. The poison was there before
1890 in small doses. but ouch was the
strength of the patient that he continued
to perform his usual functions for n
long time after the poison had entered
his system. but hisuvitality was never
theless, ceaselessly being sapped"
These are plain words and all the more
expressive because of the source from
which they come. Mr.. Carnegie would
not speak so emphatic did he not know
what he was saying, and IL there was
ing right. he does not hesitate to lay
the responsibility where 1t belongs, in
this matter, even though his own party
is the sufferer by the admission made
by himself.
AS the Courier-ournal remarks, with
two such truth tellers as Senator Teller
and Mr.. Carnegie in the Republican
party 1t need not be long before every
one can know exactly who and what
party are responsible for the financial
legislation that has changed this coun-
try from a state of unexampled pros
perity to condition of nerveless timid-
ity which paralyzes commerce and sends
our gold to vaults and old stockings"

and has contributed $4,000 towards en-
pertaining the veterans. A Richmond
dispatch to the Montgomery Advertiser
says: rfgE
1.-The great feature of the reunion Will
be the laying OF the cornerstone OF the
Jefferson Davis monument. This will
take place July I'd, and there will be q
monster parade of veterans and SOL
diers. 1t is expected TO have $4,000 peo-
pie in line. General John Is. Gordoniwill
be chief marshal, and he will have for
his aids many of the most distinguished
former Confederates.
1.-The grafton is to be delivered by Gen
eral Stephen d. Lee, of Mississippi who
was Il lifelong and intimate friend of
Davis. The monument Is to be in lovely
Monroe Park, which is in the fashionable
part of the city. 1t Is proposed TO spend
100000 on the memorial. Much of the
money Is already in hand. The designs
are all in, but a selection has not been
made.
IAN important question to be settled
I'm the reunion will be the site for the
Charles Broadway Rouss Confederate
Museum or Battle Abbey of the South.
Mr.. Rouss, who is an exConfederate,
is n millionaire New York merchant.
He has offered to give 100000 to the mu-
scum. provided the amount can be dupli-
Gated.
Richmond, Atlanta, New Orleans,
Nashville, and Washington are asking
for the museum. Nashville Is coming
here prepared to pledge $4,000 and a
splendid site, which Will probably be the
best offer, from n financial point Of view,
that will be made. Richmond can offer
her Confederate museum as nucleus
upon which to build"
For the first time in thirty years the
cry of ION to Richmond" will be heard
and answered from every quarter of the
Southland.
AS to the selection of place at which
to locate the museum proposed by Mr..
RouEs, let Richmond by all means be
the place. 1t was the Capital City OF
the Confederacy, and of all others It is
the city for the museum.

a COMPLIMENT TO FITznUGM LEE

The New York Mail and Express
learns from an interview published in a
Havana newspaper with General Fitz-
hugh Lee. that he has been delegated
nv President Cleveland to initiate some
kind of negotiation with the object of
terminating the war on conditions short
OF the independence of Cuba, and the
General is credited with saying:
1T would be glorious thing for my
Government, and give it Immense sat
isfaction to be able In n cordial and
friendly way to restore peace to Cuba,
and so avert the destruction of this
is!apd. so rich and so beautiful, to which
we are united by such great interests.
But the affair IS so delicate that | beg
YOU not to question me on the subiectp'
To the question, "Is it true that You in
tend 10 nave communication with the
insurGents?" General Lee answered, II

The Mail and Express, in comment.
speaks thus kindly of the new Consul
General:
"General Lee was one OF the brayest
ana ahlest soldiers in the Confederate
army and his personal qualifications

been appointed are unuuestionad He
nat he has on hand "a delicate affair"

The Inference is readily drawn that there

has Entrusted General Lee with any mis-.

Minister WILLIS to the Provisional Gov

1ederate leader may rest assured in ad.

humil!ating failure which has cast a

Our contemporary does not believe Tho ;
the Cubans are going to abandon to
Spain the independence they have all
most achieved but that when President
Cleveland wishes to bring the Cuban war
TO an end he can do so by sending no.

must be allowed to control their own dos.
TIMES. Madrid. not Havana. is the
place for negotiations.
These views are pretty generally held
IN this country. and IL It is true that
General Lee is sent to Cuba on the
mission here outlined. the belief Is that
he is going to have a hard time. and
in the end fail in the accomplishment
OF the purpose of his mission.

THE OLDEST LOCK.
II Formerly Secured OaO OF the DOoru z
. Palace Of NLnSvoh.


The very oldest lock In existence IN
one which formerly secured ore Of the
doors of q palace Of Eineveh 1t La ri!
Gantic affair, and the key to 1t, which IL
As large as one maj can conveniently
carry, reminds one OF the ScripturaI pas
cage where the prophet makes reference
% snch Instruments being carried on
the shoulder The exact words in the
passage referred TO are, "Anl the key
Of the house Of David Twill lay upon
his shoulder"
This enormous key TO the lo,k from
Nineveh is nearly 81 feet in length
and of the thickness Ct four inch drain
tile. 1t was found at the end Of q ruin
ed chamber, where large wooden door
had probably once stood, the gigantic
brass hinges and heavy bars being still
in fair condition, though somewhat cor
roded. This relic Of the olden times has
but few points of resemblance to the
keys of modern manufacture, or even 70
those Of the lly part of the Christian
era The tubular idea had never been
thought cut in those days. but the Key
Is fearfully and wonderfully made, be-
ing equally as intricate q piece Of ma
chinery as the LEX in which it was
used. A great many of the bars and
pegs in the lock are believed to have
been made Of wood, as their places are
now empty. Tho nOtches and pegs in
the key, however. show that there were
corresponding PEGS and bars in the lock
at one time. The great lateral iron bars
at the end Of the key, with their COM
plicatcd series Of notches, crossbars,
bumps. etc. are proof that the lock was
once similarly provided This being the
case, it is reasonable to suppose that az
one time the door to that palace could
not have been opened until the key had
been inserted and the impediment to
the drawing back Of the bolt removed
by raising up SO many bars and pins
which had fallen down into their places
upon the key having been withdrawn.
Similar locks aud keys were in use in
