The South has erected many monuments
to heroes Of the Lost Cause, bat oddly
enough none to the head and center of the
movement. the very embodiment OF the
policy and hopes Of the seeding states
Jefferson Davis. FIRST and only President
Of the Confederate States of America. Inc
federal government has within few
months finished splendid memorial tomb
TO Abrah ham Lincoln at Springfield, ID,
and the Grant tomb in New York is one of
the most magnificent testimonials Of Its
kind in the world. Thus the great leaders
Of the North in the mighty struggle have
been fttingly honored in memorials of Nv
ing rock. But the South's President is still
without such evidence of reverence and
gratitude.
In 1895 the United Confederate Veterans
undertook the erection of a monument to
Mr.. Davis The veterans, however, find
ing themselves unable 70 accomplish the
task they had undertaken, asked the
United Daughters of the Confederacy to
assume the responsibility of il, ana
ihc Daughters Appealed to the various wo-
mems memorial associations of the South
to assist an the great work. There are
about thirty of these memorial associa-
lions. Each of them has responded favor
ably to the appeal of the Daughters.
It was considered that the South could
not adequately express it's appreciation of
President Davis in a monument to cost
less than $4,000, and it was hoped that

for the purpose. Up to June 2 1897 the
sum collected for the Jefferson Davis
monument was 81 .sls.52, Of which Georgia
contributed g. 426. Louisiana, Texas and
Virginia each stood above Georgia on this
roll of honor, with larger sums to their
credit. Since the date named collections
aggregating about $4,000 have been made
bringing the total up to little less than
$4,000, or not quite one-third of the sum
proposed to be raised.
Ways and means for swelling the monu-
ment fund will be discussed at the cur
rent reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans in Memphis, and by the meeting
of the Sons Of Confederate Veterans.
1t is earnestly desired that the
movement shall be given increased i'm
petus. Those who participated actively in
the fortunes of the Confederacy under Mr..
Davis are fast dying out. Within a few
years there will be left no survivor of that
epoch in history. Before that time arrives
a monument to President Davis as chaste
as his life and as strong as his character
should rear its head TO the eternal heav-

he Did His Best.

The late Sir John Stainer, one of Eng
lands most celebrated musicians and
composers, was several years ago in a
small Swiss village, and the English
clergyman was on the lookout for a mu-
stefan to assist at the service, says Lon
don Tit Bits. Stainer was in the smok-
ing room of the hotel when the clergy
man found him and started the CONVEX
sation with DO you play the harmoni-

ex-organist of St. Paul's cathedral. will

lighted parson. Il will do my best" said
Stainer, with a smile.
The service passed off all right, but
the congregation, instead of rushing away
at the close, listened to a brilliant recital.
When the parson heard the name of his
assistant, he asked him to dinner do
you smoker" he said at the close. II will
do my best" muttered Stainer and the
ensuing laughter was the prologue of an
entertaining exchange of Oxford remi-
niscences.
Stainer was a great story teller. One
anecdote he was fond of relating had ref

amateur orchestras in churches The

GREAT RAILROAD FIGHT PRE-
DICIFD,

In Wall street circles the impression is
strong that abe war between the great
railroad systems is not yet over. On one
side are Morgan, the Vanderbilts, who
control the New York Central and its con-
nections, the Pennsylvania Railroad and
]. J. Hill. who controls abe Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railroads. On
the other side are the Gould interests
and the Rockefellers and a group of other
financiers and millionaires. The point at
issue now is whether the Gould group
of railroads shall have an outlet on the
Atlantic seaboard. II is against the In
terests of the New York Central and
Pennsyivania railroads that they shall
and every means will be adopted. It is
said, to prevent them from getting such
an outlet If an amcable adjustment can
not be reached resort will be had to the
buying of certain roads. In that event
there may be seen as lively a market for
the shares of certain railroads as there
was recently when Northern Pacific sold
as high as $1,000 per share.

APPEALS OF JACKS0NVILLE'S
CHURCHES.

All Of the churches in Jacksonville were
burned in the recent fire which destroyed
the greater part of that city. The great
majority of the members of the different
congregations were sufferers to the ex-
tent of the loss of ALL or the greater
portion, of their possessions. Committees
representing some of the churches, per-
hays all of them, are sending out appeals
for help to rebuild their houses of wor-
ship.
No doubt there will be liberal responses
from all over the country. There GER
tainly ought to be. In the churches of
the large cities of the North there is
wealth enough to rebuild all of the
churches In Jacksonville without any
sacrifices being made by their members.
This statement is based upon the
announcement that movement has
been started in the Brick Pres
byterian Church of New York
City to raise $25O,OO0 for the widow of
the Rev. DR.. Babcock, who. while suffer
in a hospital in one of the cities of Eu-
rope, committed suicide.
Leading members of that church think
that Mrs. Babcock ought to have an in
come Of at least $4,000 a year. and 1t
will take fully s25O,OOO to yield that
amount. There does not appear any doubt
among the members of the church about
their ability to raise it. Indeed the SEN
timent seems to be that much more than
that sum viii be subscribed.
Here is one church in New York City
that can raise a fund of a quarter of a
million of dollars with scarcely an effor;
on the part of committee appointed for
that purpose. That amount would be
almost enough to replace all of the
churches that were destroyed in Jackson
VILE.
1t is probable, however, that 1t would
not be an easy matter TO get that sum
from the Brick Church for the Jackson
Vile churches. Indeed. 1t is doubtful II
It would be possible to get it from adj of
the New York Churches, unless a partic-
ularly strong appeal was made to them:
and yet, there is no difficulty in getting
one church to subscribe it for a purpose
in which il Is interested.
