In speech at Chicago University
Tuesday, Mr.. Charles Francis
Adams, of Boston, advocated the
erection of a bronze statue to
Robert Z. Lee in Washington and
the speech has been so we'll received
in the North, the day may not be far
distant, when the prophecy of Mr..
Adams, that it will be done, will be
fulfilled. The leading Republican
newspaper OF the North, the New
York Tribune, even approves the
speech of Mr. Adams, and comment
ing upon it says, che has performed
a generous and useful service" The
speech and the favorable comment
made upon it is of course gratifying
to the Southern people, and while
monuments can add nothing to the
name and fame of the great Con-
federate Chieftain, our Northern
friends are to be congratulated for
this evidence of recovery of reason
and that sense of justice which
makes them willing thus to honor
him. The fame of Lee though is too
we'll established and his place in
history is too secure for him even TO
be forgotten, if a statue should not
be erected to him in the National
Capitol. AS Mr.. Adams well says,
lust so long as men admire courage,
devotion, patriotism, the high sense
of duty and personal honOr-all in
word which go to make mp what we
know as Character-just so long will
that type of man be held in alice
tionate, reverential memory. Any
people would do honor to themselves
in erecting a statue to the memory OF
Lee, but the failure to do it will de
tract nothing from the lustre OF his
imperishable fame.

Bishop Francis NJ. Wbittle, one of
the Oldest members of the House of
Bishops of the Episcopal Church,
died in Richmond, Wednesday. He
had been in bad health for the past
two wears. About that time he was
stricken with some weakness of the
heart, from which he seemed to rally
after weeks of confinement. He,
however, never recovered his former
physical vigor. Bishop Whittle was
about 81 years old.

Much of the success of the new
suffrage law will depend upon the
fidelity and competence OF the new

measure the making of the perman-

will be permanently enrolled after

causss the Death of William knott-A
 Injury Ends Fatally.
 The death of William Knott which took place at the Blair house at noon yesterday. from blood poisoning. is especially sad. About i've weeks ago Mir. Knott. who was foreman in Tovera & Mossman's butcher shop. accidental ly hurt his thumb upon a hook in the meat market. but paid no attention to 1t. believing that it was simply 2 scratch that was harmless. Later 1t was discovered that the injury was serious, and medical assistance was summoned. But 1t was too late. and when an operation was found abso. lutely necessary. the patient failed to survive. The deceased lived in Santa Ana, California. before coming to Bis bee. where his relatives now reside.
 He leaves four little orphan children, from four to eleven years of age, who must go through life without a moth. CTS or fathers care. The deceased was a member of the order of A. O. U. w, and carried $200o insurance Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the lit tie ones. whose future is intrusted to other hands, and who must buffet this sea of life alone. -

AN OPEN LETTER.
The liesnss on 3. 2. oraham's eusl. nsss S12o per Quarter.

Hvso S'$S PSs &ses
 The most outrageous license that was every heard tell of in any country on earth. is that placed on my busl- ness in Bisbee. A business that takes in from four to i've thousand dollars per month is called on to pay a license tax of s120 per quarter.
 In Tucson and other cities. livery stables pay a license of from $10 to SIS per year: in Bisbee the license Is placed at s10 per month. Then there Is license of s1o per month on hacks and sl0 per month on the undertaking business. In Tucson the license on hacks is Sl0 per year. In Bisbee the license is fixed at twelve times that amount.
 My business is paying an average of eight per cent tax on all money turned in on account of hacks. and we cannot stand such license. When it comes to paying twelve times as much license as is paid in Tucson and other places. then it is time for some thing to be done. We are willing to pay a reasonable license. but cannot stand too much. I was in favor of in- cooperating Bisbee. but I am not against 1t. believing that if properly managed 1t will result in much good. and I submit to the taxpayers and voters of Bisbee. the present injustice being done me. When 1t cones to making one rig that earns SIPS per month pay $10 per month license. and the license on saloons, that take in from four to eight thousand dollars. Is only Sl0 per month. 1t is self-evi- dent that an injustice is being done.
 The gross proceeds of my business amounts to four or live thousand dol lars per month. am taxed for Ii. censes one hundred and twenty dollars per quarter. and other business in Bis bee that take in more than e100, 900 per month pay the same amount. $120 per quarter.

DOWN IN THE MINE.
Mics Mollie Adelia Brown and Party
 Visits the Great Mine.

Miss MolIie Adelia Brown and Party
 Visits the Great Mine.
 There is no greater favor conferred upon those coming to Bisbee for a days visit than to be granted the priv ilege of going down into the workings of the great Copper Queen mine. It is simply a wonder in itself. and can not help but impress the visitor as be- ing one of the marvels of the century. Hours, days and even weeks might be spent to advantage in following the winding labyrinths or tunnels that have been carved out of the solid rock hundreds of feet below the surface of the earth.
 By courtesy of Superintendent 8. W. Clawson of the mines, a small party composed of Miss Mollie Adelia Brown. Mrs. Marie George-Libdell and others were permitted to so to the two hun dred foot level and get a glimpse of the gigantic works upon this level. It would be futile to attempt descrip- ton of the underground workings. for It is stupenduous. The large tunnels, splendidly timbered. with tramways radiating, and the shafts, tunnels, drifts and wings, thoroughly lighted all combine to make one of the great est mines of all the west. The mine Is entirely too big to write up in a short story-it would be necessary to take up the subject In serial article.
 The beautiful grotto called - cave is one of the most interesting features of the mine. Several hun dred feet in may be seen a cave that certainly is a natural wonder. The water formations. causing pyramids and myriad chrystals, stallactites and statagmites, under the glare of light. Is one of the great studies of the naturalist. These are natural tunnels, passing from this point. the source of which has never been discovered. Specimens are taken from here by the SlSltOE O1 tue IdISel h1uOo, UUl luo hand of the tourist seeker or the van dal has not defaced this marvellous place of natural beauty. Four hun dred feet from here was the celebarted cave. where, five years ago MT. Claw. son had the Masons of the territory gather and meet in session. A few days after that celebrated meeting. perhaps the only meeting of the kind in the history of Masonry, this re- markable grotto caved in. The natu. ral lake, about ten miles from the grot- to-, is also one of the features of the mine, where a cool. refreshing drink may be had.
 Every one was delighted with the novel experience, and those who had never been in a mine before prefaced each remark with an exclamation.
 Thanks to MT. Hughes for his at- tiveness in directing the party and ex- plaining the numerous workings
