Confederate Dead.

President McKinley's suggestion
that the care of the national gov
eminent be given to Confederate
graves as we'll as to the national
cemeteries now occupied by the
Union soldiers who lost their lives
in the civil war has received hearty
endorsement throughout the coun-
try. 1t is said that this idea was
put into Mr.. McKinley's mind
some years ago by visit to Fred
ericksburg where he found a ma
tional cemetery and the burial
place of the Confederate dead side
by side IN strong contrast. 1t is
claimed that if bill to give effect
to the suggestion shall be reported
from a committee, it will receive
an almost unanimous support from
the North. The people of the
South are showing by their most
hospitable reception to President
Mckinley how they appreciate his
conduct of the war and the govern
ment and his kindly suggestions as
to the Confederate dead.
1t is happy suggestion at an
opportune time. And, by the way,
the President has the faculty OF
making such suggestions at such
times. But this one thing seems
left to complete the cemeting with
brotherly love Of South and North
to completely obliterate all traces
of the old sectionalism. Let us
decorate our graves together.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS FUN
|. & N. employees,

BILE. They accepted the decrease as
inevitable, and trusted to the road
to restore it as soon as possible.
Early in 1893 the employees had
hopes that the restoration was a
matter of a short time. The first
definite statement, however, was
that made by General Manager
Metcalfe at the meeting of the En-
gineers and Firemens Brotherhood
held here last February. Mr.. Met
calfe told them that part of the re-
duction would be restored IN July
and the rest as soon as possible.
Accordingly on June ~ circu-
lar, issued under date of July 1,
announcing the restoration of per
cent, or half of the reduction on
July I, and the remainder on Ianu-
airy I, the latter, however, being
dependent on the earnings of the
road continuing at the scale they
had reached. Since then the earn
ings have increased, and the resto-
ration of the rest of the reduction
is the result.
The L. & N. is thus the greatest
Santa Claus in the business. For
each of the 49, employees whose
wages are increased there will
doubtless be an average of three
people whose Christmas cheer will
be enhanced by the good news, so
it is safe to say the road will bring
added happiness to so, 900 people.

The Remaining Per Cent of the
1893 Reduction VIII be Re-
stored on January 1.

Past Few Months Have Been

GOOD NEWS FOR MANY FOLK.

LoUILvILLE, KY, December TO-
The $4,000 employees on the l.. &
N. railroad will this year enjoy the
most pleasant holiday season they
have known for years, and certainly
the most pleasant OF the past five.
According to the promise made that
if the earnings of the road war
ranted it the remaining S per cent
of the 10 per cent reduction made
in August, 1893, would be restored
at the first of this year, the en-
ployes will, on January I, begin to
receive the same wages and salaries
that were paid them before the dark
days OF 1893 settled upon the coun-
try,
The earnings of the road in the
past few months have been such as
to leave little doubt that the prom
ised restoration would be made.
To ascertain the facts beyond doubt
however, an Evening Post reporter
this morning made inquiry at the
Office of the General Manager and
the assistant to the President, and
was informed that there had been
no change in the plan, and that the
restoration will certainly be made.
The greatroad has acted through
out this matter in perfect good faith
with the employees. When the re-
duction was first announced In cir
culars OF August 7 and August IA,
1893, the men were promised
that as soon as the earnings
justified it the cut would be re-
stored. The reduction affected all,
from President Milton II. Smith
to the humblest messenger. The
employees acted with rare good
sense. There was scarcely grum-

The question is asked, Why such an un-
precedented demand for coal this year and
we must take for an answer the opinion of
a leading coal dealer who accounts for the
great demand on the ground of failure OF

FROM MCKINLEY'S
GREAT SPEECH
Some of the Gems of Thought he
Dropped at Atlanta.
His Suggestion of National Care
for Confedera te Graves.

Sectional lines no longer maj

Sectional feelings no longer
hold back the love we bear for
each other.
"Fraternity is the national an
them, sung by a chorus of forty
five states and territories at home
and beyond the sea. The union is
once more the common altar OF our
love and loyalty, our devotion and
sacrifice.
"The old flag again waves over
us in peace with new glories which
your sons and ours have this year
added to its sacred folds. What
cause we have for rejoicing, sad
dened only by the fact that so
many of our brave men fell on field
or sickness, and died from hard
ship and exposure, and others re-
turning bring wounds and disease
from which they will long suffer.
The memory of the dead will be a
precious legacy and the disabled
will be the nations care.
ga nation which cares for its
disabled soldiers as we have done
will never lack defenders. The
national cemeteries for those who
fell in battle are proof that the
dead as well as the living have our
love. What an army of silent
sentinels we have and with what
loving care their graves are kept.
every soldiers grave made
during our unfortunate civil war,
is a tribute to American valor.
And while when those graves were
made we differed widely about the
future of this government, these
differences we're long ago settled
by the arbitrament of arms, and
the time has now come in the evo-
luton of sentiment and feeling
under the Providence OF God, when
IN the spirit OF fraternity we should
share with you in the care of the
graves of the confederate soldiers.
"The cordial feeling now happily
existing between the North and
the South prompts this gracious
act, and if it needed further justifi-
cation, it is found in the gallant
loyalty to the union and the flag,
SO conspicuously shown in the year
just passed, by the sons and grand
sons of those heroic dead.
"What a glorious future awaits
us, if unitedly, wisely and bravely
we face the new problems now
pressing upon us, determined to
solve them for right and hui

Nothing else was disturbed. The
key had been left IN the door oil
the dresser compartment where the
purses and revolver reposed and
the thief did not need to seek fur
Their. But the circumstance would
seem to indicate that the job was
done by some one familiar with'the
premises. There was a track Of
mixed mud from the yard on the
porch near the window but of such
indistinct character that it could
not even be told whether the thief
was barefooted or wore shoes. No
