So Mckinley has at last come out
as has been charged a thousand times,
amid his concealments and hedging and

holding the 1000 Philippine Islands.
That is the size of his wisdom and

hopes to conquer the people and ride
into office for another term of duplicity
and failure and %pretence extending
through four years. His high tariff

the empire will send him to the politi-

must not make money getting the chief
aim in life. We must not think that
obtaining and having riches are indeed
the whole duty Of man. Riches take

not happen in life, they will when death
comes. Perishable riches are not to
be weighed against the everlasting
riches, the treasures in the Kingdom Of

~ssMONUMENTAL. VIRGINIA

Conversing with Rev. A. D.. Mcclure
lately,the highly esteemed and able pas
tor of St. Andrews Presbyterian
church, of his recent visit Of some weeks
to Richmond, Va, the city of some
so, 900 inhabitants, that we would prefer
to live in above any of the larger cities
in the south, he spoke admiringly Of it's
progressiveness, its large church-going
population, of its public spirit, It's fGel-
ity to the cause of the south and its be-
coming pride in building monuments.
We Endorsed his agreeable view, and
believe that Virginia, as we'll as it's
chief city, once the capital of the South
ern ~Confederacy, and so often threaten
ed by northern armies, is deserving cf
all praise, and to be held in highest
honor. Virginia not only produces great
men-patriots, statesmen, scholars, ora
tors and soldiers-who are
ION flames eternal bead-roll worthy

but she cherishes their memories with
maternal fondness and devotion and
pride, and freely employs the sculptor's
art and the painters skill to perpetuate
their form and lineaments. She really
seems to realize the grandeur of virtue
and that its memorial lis immortal be-
cause it is known with God and with
men"-that when it is present, men
take example at it, and when it is gone
they desire it, One of her patriotic and
motherly deeds was to put her native
sculptor, E. V. Valentine, to work lear
Iy thirty years g upon a recumbent
statue of Robert Edward Lee, and
which was completed in 1875. We never
say it, but have often gazed upon a
fine picture of it. Those who have stud
led it regard it as of exquisite design
and artistic workmanship, and the
likeness excellent. 1t is at Lexington,
where the most ilIustrious southron
taught after 50 faithfully and so splen-
didly serving his people through four
years Of terrible, of exhausting war.
It is mounted upon a sarcOphagus
which rests in turn upon a granite

stands within a tasteful Gothic maui
soleum thirty feet long by twenty-five
feet wide. In hat quiet Virginian town,
a seat Of learning for ingenious youth,
where that other great confederate cap
tain, General "Stonewall" Jackson, liv-
ed, taught, and is buried, in the Mecca
of the south, that statue will stand for
ages to come, to tell unborn generations
Of him, the knightliest of knights. the

1.-The outcome Of these 104 days of
war was due to the preparation which
enabled it to be accomplished, through
the efforts of the president and the de-
partment of the navy. 1t has been said
that men who never make mistakes
never make war, and 1 guess that is
about true. Often in the conversation
between officers in West Indian wa
tiers they would express the opinion
that those on the outside were losing,
while those in the inside circle were
gaining. I d~issented. I though those
who were inside must be losing. After
the army had landed, the crucial period
was reached about the Goth of June
On the End of July a strange coinci-
dence occurred. There were six block
houses to the west of Santiago, on the
mountain heights. AS they a been
abandoned by the Spanish soldiers,
they were taken by the Cuban inSur-
gents, who vented their feelings by
burning them. Now, there were just six
Spanish ships in the harbor, and the
burning of these six b~lockhouses induc-
ed them to leave the harbor on that
particular Sunday morning. The move
ment of those mir was
simultaneously by every ship in the
blockading fleet. By 9:45 o'clock the
Spanish vessels were entirely clear of
the harbor. There was an immediate
inward movement of our fleet to the
mouth of the harbor. Firing was begun
at once. 1t was difficult at first to de-
termine whether the enemy intended
to fight or to scape. This uncertainty
lasted about ten minutes. About this
time the Brooklyn got into such a po-
sition that We had to turn her. If we
had turned her in, we would have
blanketed the enemy's ships. Turning
outward, however, we these,
and the result was that in twenty-nine
minutes four of the vessels of the
Spanish fleet were destroyed. The Wis
caya and the Colon alone remained,
and for fifty-fOur minute there was
a running fight. At first they appear
ed to be gaining a little, but after fifty
four minutes the Viscaya surrender

left only the Colon, and she was, per-
haps, the most formidable of the fleet.
| At that time we did not know that she
did not have her two e~leven-inch guns.
Until 11:i5 there was a race, which ]
| called the 81, SOC, 900 race. The Brook

to allow u men to get their dinner.
