4 Tribute to Thai Princely Ez- Confederate
snr,lfer. ChnrLes Rrondtcnu Rouas.

iSOtnleI, Ckl0TteS OFOOuBug 4bOuSS-
Capt. John c. capers, in his Grafton
on the occasion of the unwilling of the
monument to the South Carolina dead
in Stonewall Cemetery. Winchester. on
the 9th of June. said:
And here to-day, at Winchester. this
graceful shaft, and all the work necessa-
ry for its completion, was begun, con
tinued and ended either by the actual eff
fort or by the inspiration of you noble
women. That princely ex-Confederate
soldier Charles Broadway Rouss. placed
mis- generous contribution for this monu-
ment in the hands of the women who had
begun this noble work, and in so doing
paid his double tribute to their love and
loyalty and to the courage and character
of those who had, with him, endured the
siege of war for conscience sake
There is no holier spot of ground
Than where defeated valor lies.
By mourning beauty crowned
And just here let me digress to say that
tits apparently an inexplicable provision
of Providence that this generous ex-Con-
federate soldier, Mr.. Rouss, has been de-
Prived of his sight just at time when he
could see that graceful shaft. to the cree
ton of which he so largely contributed !;
at time when he could start at the home
of his adoption in New York and go all
the way to the Gulf and see the evidences
of his grand and unparalleled generosity !;
the evidences of his noble appreciation of
his comrades standing out clear and
bright as those evidences would in the
battle abbeys, memorials and monuments
erected to their memory, to which he has
contributed. But this act of Providence
seemingly so harsh, falls more lightly on
the patriot Rouss, because with him it is
not only through the eye that he can see.
A heart so generous and true, soul so
full of inspiration as his. penetrates the
darkness his closed eyes make, and
through the eye of the heart and the eye
of the soul he sees and feels and knows
that this monument and all the others
stand out to exemplify the noble purposes
of his fallen comrades and their wives and
mothers.

ALTGELD MAKES READY
IT Is BELIEVED HE Will BE BhyAk'S CAM
PAiGN MANAGER.
We will Resign from the Ways and Means Com
mittee Of The D m cratic National
Committee.

Chicago, ILL.,. June "a special to the
Times Herald from Louisville says:
John =. Altgeld intends to be free
from official connection with the Demo-
cudgels for Bryan and sixteen to one.
His selection by the OhioValley Bimetal-
lie League as leader of the ''co-opera-
ton" in behalf of Bryan and free sill
yer was followed by his declaration of
his intention to resign from the Ways
and Means Committee of the Demo-
cratic National Committee.
Yes. | am going to resign he said.
1.-The Ways and Means Committee is
but subcommittee whose main duties
are the raising of funds. / think we
have served long enough, and l intend
to step aside and give some one else a
chance. l believe the other members
will resign too"
Politicians here regard this as. ample
confirmation of the inference that the
Illinoisan is now Mr.. Bryans campaign
manager. They say that as Chairman
of the 'Co-OperatOrs" he is more than
likely to call for contributions to the
cause of 16 to /. Should the Demo
cratic National Committee relegate that
issue to the rear he would have to quit
one position or the other. AS silver is
his chief love, his declaration of inten-
ton to resign is viewed as Selling time
by the fOrelcok.
The Chicago Herald, wide of the
mark as usual. The real reason why
Altgeld has resigned is because he knew
that since he ran as Independent candi-
date for Mayor of Chicago. the Demo
cratic party would not have been con-
tent to let him stay on the committee
The attempt of the Times-He rald to in
Jure Bryan by the above paragraph is
plain to all men. AS Il matter of fact
Altgeld was not selected as leader of the
Ohio Valley Bimetallic Association and
SO the whole story is wrong-EditorI
ALTGELD INTERVIEWED.
Chicago. June 3.-John p. Altgela. not
only confirms the report that he intends
to resign from the Ways and Means
Committee of the Democratic National
Committee. but today made the an
nouncement that Senator James *
Jones is also thinking of severing his
connection with the committee. Mr..
Altgeld returned from Louisville to-day
looking greatly improved in health.
When asked concerning his reported in
tention of resigning. he said:
Neither Senator Jones nor myself has
any desire to throw down the work OF
the national committee. We feel how
ever. that it is time for some other
members of the national committee IL
null off their coats. | have no doubt
men will be found and THAI the worl;
will go on just as smoothly as ever.
