there is ut present only one piece of

The statement made in an evening pa
per yesterday ''that Governor Russell
and DR.. Kirby were scheming to remove
Mr.. i. ID. Koonce and Mr.. Crawford
from the control of the hospital is al
most too silly for contradiction to any
one who knows DIR. Kirby. If Governor
Russell desired the removal of Mr.. Craw
ford he would hardly have appointed
DIR. Mckee, who Mr.. Crawford admits
is his lifelong friend, or removed Mr..
Rogers who has opposed him bitterly. 1t
is evident to the most casual observer
that DIR. Kirby is making an effort to
build up the institute and move the hos

Human nature demands a hero in all
crises, and will have him if he is to b.
had. Up to date Fitz Lee has come out
the hero of all our Cuban negotiations.
Not IA word but that of praise and adj
miration should be said concerning him,
and his triumphal progress to Washing
ton was a beautiful and wholesome
sight for the American people to sec.
But whether General Lee has the quail
fcations necessary for the Presidency of
this country is a question that should
not, specially now, take away from the
picturesqueness that envelops the
Southern soldier. There will be plenty
of time yet to talk about Presidents
meanwhile let us behold with pride and
lean in his highest development as ex-
pressed by Lee in Cuba. Besides Vir-
ginia claims the first honor of sending
him to the United States Senate.

still occasional ardent devotees to this

pronounced against It, as failing to

hindering the fullest development in

Of the kindergarten age is doubtless at
the root Of the trouble. There 10 no
