"And it is Aggrayatine."

AS rule, most people are in
tensely exasperated when, after
wading through some exciting story
in the newspaper, which they have
devoured with GREATNESS interest,
to find at the finish it is only trap
to advertise some wonderful soap,
or patent medicines.
OF course its disappointing, but
just consider how cleverly it is
done, and, by the way, what a
wonderful industry has been devel-
oped in this mode of advertising.
Some of the great medicine firms
pay their advertising agents as high
as ten thousand dollars wear.
Just think of It'll And while you
are thinking, don't forget that Cor
tons Minstrels will give one of their
splendid performances at Fa1k's
opera house to morrow night
Look out for Americas greatest
street parade at noon

stSavoyard," the Courier-J Journals
Washington correspondent, sends the
following to his paper: ssThe Hon.
James Hamilton Lewis has arrived.
He looks splendidly and is as hand
somely and richly dressed as ever.
Only few days ago I picked up the
bound volumes of the Congressional
Record of the last session and hap
pened TO open one of them at page
containing one of his speeches.
After reading few sentences I read
the whole thing from beginning to
end Be assured, the man is no
fool, neither is he.an ignoramus. Be
sides he has the industry of an ant,
the patience of a cat, the convic-
tons of fanatic, the courage of
paladin and the ambition of the
devil himself. Look out for him.
This country has not heard the last
Of him.

Daily States: 1t has been very
well suggested that if the Democrats
should follow the advice of Colonel
Watterson and nominate Admiral
Dewey for President, thus stealing
part of the war prestige from their
opponents, they could plead in ex
tenuation of their conduct a late
Republican precedent. The Re
publicans, knowing that General
Grant was Democrat, nominated
him for the Presidency in order to
anticipate his nomination by the
Democrats. Those who claim to
pc informed on the subject say that
Dewey's Republicanism is not of
very stallwart type, and that he has
not voted since the Republican party
was first organized. But Grant

good queen is one of the strongest
proofs of the final and complete
triumph of civilization. The lesson
of the great King of "peace on earth;

in theory, and certainly deserves an
effort on the part of civilized nations
to be put into practice.
France, the republic of Europe,
has not been in such a state of ex-
citement for long time as it is now
over the famous Dreyfous affair.
There are of course two factions,
the Dreyfous and the anti-Dreyfous
people. Each faction has in its
ranks some of the first men of
France. One of the most remark
able things about the whole case, is
that some of the leaders In the
prosecution of the artillery captain
have been forced to admit the
probability of his innocence, vet
have laid down the principle that
it were better for one innocent man
to suffer than that the republic
should fall. 1t occurs to us that
the very reverse of this is the right
principle. Certainly government,
and above all a republican one,
should not stand if it has to be up
held by false foundation.

Prised that the lawyers don't all
agree as to the meaning of some
clauses in the new constitution.
Not at all surprising, brother. The

selves to rs. We are not in need OF
assistance in the discharge of our
holy duty and we abhor the very
idea of public charity There was
time when our sympathies for the
suffering of helpless living Confed-
crates would have made us content
to see them beneficiaries of govern
ment aid, but that time passed
away and no assistance came. No
such conditions exist now and we
are not moved by the proffer to ex-
tend to the dead that consideration
which was withheld from the living
in their sore distress.
3fThe graves of our comrades will
not be neglected. They will be
tenderly and reverently cared for in
the future as in the past. Surviving
Confederate veterans are unanim Gus
in the desire to perpetuate the mem
cries of the glorious struggle of the
South for constitutional rights, to
pay deserved tribute to the heroic
deeds of their fallen comrades, to
furnish an inspiring object lesson to
their descendants and to leave Dos
terIty enduring proofs of the cou-
rage, loyalty and devotion to duty
of the Confederate soldiers. 1t is
not proper and right that alien, and
recently hostile hands should take
part in this sacred work.

We are not disposed to impugn

He may be sincere or he may not
1t is neither just nor proper to say
that the president is a demagogue
and hypocrite. His declaration at
Atlanta that the Federal govern

at least. But his unsolicited offer
