No Monument for General Lee.

~HE first day OF the annual meet
ing OF the G. A. r. otherwise
the Grand Army of the Repub-
lic). now gathered I'm Washington
city. gave the keynote to existing section
al feeling and political conditions. Gener-
al J. H Wilson voiced the Republican
sentiment when he declared there should
be no monument erected to General Rob
ert E. Lees memory. and following his
lead-another shoulder strap-of less di-
mensions-@vent a little further when he
said. "Our soil Is too pure to be used for
the erection of a monument to any rebel"
Both OF them were doubtless honest in
these statements. They felt what they
said. They are built that way. and for
one. I had much rather hear the truth
from unfriendly lips than a smile which
wells a sheer or q hypocritical pretense
at union and harmony, or OF the love
the blue bears 10 the gray" or insincere
campaign oratory about Federals decorat-
ing Confederate soldiers graves. etc, etc.
which is mostly tommyrot and poppy
cock. Let US have the plain truth, and let
both sides stand by ii. We have had a sur
felt OF lattery and fiim-fiamming.
There are brave, unselfish Union soldiers
who do not bear malice, who are willing to
bridge the bloody chasm. who disdain TO
kick at a former foe who was honorably
defeated in a hand 10 hand fight and was
the loser. who do not claim all the earth
the soil and all the overplus Of an en-
tire nation in the abnormal shape of pen
sion money: but they are in a feeble mi
nority. They would forget as well as for
give II they might They were never OF
those who can see no good come out Of
Nazareth. they are a different and SUI
perior grade 10 the blood-thirsty ones,
who still breathe out threatening and
slaughter. Perhaps IL is allowable IN this
connection TO say, they were born gentle
men and retain the instincts OF gentlemen.
All praise TO this noble minority!
But the majority. The Wilson's and
the Potters.! How different are they
from their gentlemanly brothers I'm blue.
How cum" do they own all the ''soil?'
Who Is il that will attempt to forbid a
monument erected TO General Lee on
southern soil? What is it that consti-
tutes pure soil?" Who has the right
TO talk about a pure SOIL" I'm the pres
ence Of the Jake Smith of this day and
timer and who owns the soil" anyhow?
Here is a silly stately style indeed!

hath,
Writes not so tedious style as this
