With their fingers full of pebbles march

And his statue they bomoarded,
Stones and curses interarded.
And they wreaked their little vengeance

Alas. for poor old Colonl

Confederate Gravcs-1S0S.

Every soldiers grave made during our
unfortunate civil war is tribute TO
American valor; and while. when these
graves were made we differed widely
about the future Of the government,
those differences We're long ago settled
by the arbitrament of arms, and the time
has now come in the evolution Of senti-
ment and feeling. under the providence

While er every grave found country is

A vigil, with flowers and tenderest care.

Several Of the Democratic newspapers
Of the South are suggesting General Joe
Wheeler as Democratic candidate for
vice-President in 1860. But # would
seem from recent events that they are
reckoning without General Wheeler. That
distinguished soldier and statesman is
quoted as having recently said that the
country was under a debt Of gratitude TO
President Mckinley. which could only
be wiped out by re-electing him to the
Presidency. If General Wheeler really
made the statement. and although it has
been time and again published of late,
he has not denied It, he would certainly
put himself IN most embarrassing at
utude as running mate to Mir. Mckinley
opponent.

A correspondent Of the Salem Times
Register is urging the people Of That
town TO establish a library. The sugges-
ton is an excellent one and ought 10
meet with ready Response. Country peo-
pie are better readers than city people.
In the rush Of city life there is very lit
tie time for substantial reading. Cities
are flooded with newspapers and trashy
literature and city readers are more or
less superficial, while people in the coun-
try take life more leisUrely, reading with
greater care and bordering what they
read. The trouble with the city folks IS
that they have too much TO read, and
the trouble with the people in the coun-
try is that they have not enough Of
books. In this day of cheap printing. the
very best books can DE bad at very
small cost, and for a little money TIE
Salem people may acquire a first class
library.

GOOD SENSE.

In the excellent address which Mr..
Trgg made before the Travellers Pro-
tective Association on Thursday night
he referred among other matters to our
general financial condition. As one OF
many reasons for reformation OF our
currency laws he said
Under a good law that does not dis
criminate against us Richmond could
easily be made n money centre for a
largo district and when you are on the
road If. behind your line Of goods, you
could offer your patrons money facili-
ties at low rates OF interest our town
which means you-would grow apace."
Nothing IS truer than this. Money be-
gets money. Low rates Of interest at
tract business. The Richmond merchant
who can carry his customers at s per
cent. will beat the man who demands
or Z per cent. and any law that for
bids us to avail oursely Of our abili-
ties in this respect is unjust
Another point made by Mr.. Trigg.
touching tho mechanical interest Of Rich
mond. IS worthy to be emphasized and
endorsed. We not only need mechanics,
but skilled mechanics. Not every man
that desires 10 handle a tool or run
machine is fit to do IT, and as ma
chinery becomes scientific the men VINO
handle it have TO be proportionately so,
too. 1t is the science and genius which
have been concentrated I'm Amen-

mastery in the markets Of the
world for certain products The
doltish. the lazy, the ignorant are con-
siantIy complaining Of hard times and
lack OF employment while the skillfnl
and the industrious are being sought for.
The establishment of a thorouShgoing
mechanical school in Richmond where
our young men could be trained would
be OF incalculable value not only 20 them
but 10 the city. our advantages here
are greater than the average person has
any idea Of. and It only requires a
knowledge Of the difficulties which 9th

ciate our own great opportunities
