THE IGNORED CONFEDERACY
The Story Told by Lady Well
 Known ln Phoenix.

The story of "The Confederate Mon umenE on Capitol Hill," as told by
 Mrs. I. N. Porter Ockenden, is one of the most delightful bits of the liter ature of the civil war lately written. It describes the movement of the La dies Memorial association, up to the unveiling of the monument to the con federacy on Capitol Hill, Montgomery. Ala, on December r. 1898. The authoress was the secretary treasurer of the as sociation and, by the way a sister of Superintendent B. F. Porter of the Maricopa, Phoenix & Salt River Valley railroad. Mrs. Ockenden spent some time in Phoenix last winter. She says of the story in its dedication to the brave and true: This little work flas been done to save me from heart- break-out of the depth of it comes a slight token of love to my associates and friends. It's greatest merit con- sists in the presentation of the beaUti- ful thoughts of others the gems of victory that are worthy of a more brill liant setting than these simple pages
 In the first place there is an elaO- crate description of the monument, one of the most beautiful in America. Af- ter that the story, starting with the first step toward the honoring of the confederate dead, a call issued by the Southern Historical society not Ing after the close of the war Then fol- lows a comprehensive history of the formation of the various Southern La dies societies for the erection of mOnu- ments, all of them at last being merged into the Memorial association. The movement rapidly took form. but it
 was not until April 26, 1886, that the

Once, when he first came TO Lon
don and was laying the foundation OF
his great career, says a London letter.
the future Lord Chief Justice Russell
went TO the pit OF theater. The piece
was popular, the pit was crowded and
the young advocate had only standing
ROOM All OF n sudden a man at his
side cried out that his watch was
stolen. Mr.. Russell and two other
Nen were hemmed I'm.
1T is one OF you three" cried the
man minus the watch.
"Well, we had better go out and be
searched" said Mr.. RUSSELL with the
alertness OF mind that did not fail him
at n trying moment amid an excited
crowd A detective was at hand. and
the suggestion was accepted. As MFR.
Russell walked out the Idea flashed
through his mind that II the man be-
hind him had the stolen property he
would probably try to secrete II In the
pocket OF his front rank man. Quick
as thought he drew his coattails about
hlm-only to feel, to his horror, some
thing large and smooth and round al.
ready in his pocket.
While he was still wondering what
this might mean FOR him. the detective
energetlcally seized the hindmost man,
exclaimingg what, you rascall At II
Rgalnv' To Mr.. Russell and the other
man he apologized and bnde them go
free.
But Mr.. Russell, before he had taken
many steps, reflected that he could not
keep the watch. He went back to the
box office and explained, with a cour-
age on which he afterward said he
rarely experienced greater demands,
that though he did not take the watch
he had It. SO saying. he put his hand
into his pocket and pulled out--a for
gotten snuffbox.

CAUSES wnIcn LED TO saYAss DEFEAT

Historically war administration has
been endorsed by the American people
and almost any other people Of national
magnitude. Traditionally the Demo.
cratic party is weak and the Populist
party is unpopular. Conservative men
in these parties regarded the money
question as settled and we're not en-
thusiastic about taking up lost battle.
The German voters OF the country we're
afraid Of possible financial disturb
ance. Whether founded on that danger
or not, the mere belief in this posi-
bility swayed many 10 indifference or to
silently vote against Bryan.
This cropped out at Prohibition
meeting the other night at Salem, when
Rev. Grannis, the editor Of the Prohi.
tion party organ, said Il a great number
believed Bryan would bring on panic
Il would produce a panic. In place Of
taking the attitude that the paramount
issue Of 1896 could not be made the
issue, that the gold standard was en-
titled 10 full and fair trial upon it's
merits before It should be changed, Mr..
Bryan always left the minds Of the peo-
pie open 70 the suggestion that he would
change the standard without openly dc.
claring that he would do so. This left
him in an equivocal attitude with
many people, and those who were ask.
Ing some positive declaration one way
or the other voted to defeat uncertainty,
While his attitude on finance and
tariff cost him the German vote his
championship Of the Boer Republics
cost him all the English and Canadian
support. While free silver lost him
votes in the East, anti-imperialism losl
him some votes in the West. Many o.
his arguments were sound but he went
too far in championing the cause Of q
people at war with the United States.
This is proven in the State Of Washing.
ton where Governor Rogers, who openly
ehampioned retention OF the Philippines
and upholding the cause OF the flag ever
though il seemed unjust TO many, Il
reelected.
Bryan's platform was enough to defea
him without the convention having
endorsed the platform Of 1896. II con
tained enough matter antaeonistic 4
great interests 70 sink a dozen less abl'
men than Bryan. The wonder is tha
he still got all the votes he did. ThiI
would not have been possible had be moi
convinced the great mass of'the people

champion Of the oppressed and in sym
