ROBERT E. LEE
In Statuary Hall at the Capitol Beside
George Washington.

A special to the Memphis Commercial
Appeal dateA Washington, January II
says:
Virginia's proposition to place statue
of General Robert E. Lee in Statuary
Hall at the capitol beside that of George
Washington, has been discussed in
Washington for - the past few weeks
There have been many expressions fav-
orabIe and adverse to the proposed plan
Interviews today with leading Repub-
leans in Congress lead to the belief that
|if Virginia decides to honor the ner1-
DRY of Lee by placing a statue Of the
distinguished soldier in Statuary Hall
Congress will not object. -
Of all the Northern men who have
been seen, Senator Depew of New York
IS the most hearty in his expression Of
favor to the acceptance of the statue.
Many say privately they would not OPP
pose it, but Senator Depew does not
mince words. The following is his state
ment: My opinion on this subject is
very clear. The war between the North
and the South was fought for the pre-
servation of the Union. This question
has been discussed in debate by the two
sides ever since the framing of the arti-
cles of the confederation. The Union
side won The issue was accepted, at
once by the defeated side, and / think
the placing of a statue of General Rob-
ert s. Lee in Statuary Hall would be
an emphatic recognition of the fact that
we are all now advocates of nationality
and its perpetnity | am heartily in favor
OF the Lee statue.
Senator Beveridge said when asked
for his views in regard to the accept
ance Of the Lee statue: Owing to my
being occupied with the statehood bill !
have not had time to give this matter
careful consideration, and I should like
to go into it thoroughly before giving
an opinion. I am inclined to think. how
ever, that would favor receiving the
statue
Representative Crumpacker of In
diana, one of the leading Republicans in
the House, and who has been trying for
years to have passed measure looking
to the reduction of the representation of
the South in Congress, is another who
comes ont squarely with the statement
that he would not oppose the proposed
plan. .-.--z.
In my opinion" said Judge Crum-
packer, "the settlement of this question
should be left entirely to Virginia. Rob-
ert E. Lee was distinguished citizen
of the country. He was conspicuous
figure in the cause OF the Confederacy,
a cause which Virginia espoused( and if
Virginia wants to remember him by
placing his statue in Statuary Hall. per-
sonally see no reason why she should
not do SO. Lee is Virginia's son, and it
is for her to decide this question as she
sees fit"
Representative Hay of Virginia said
today that he had come to the conclu-
sion that it would be just as we'll for
the Virginia Legislature to go ahead
and pass the bill, whatever the conse-
quences might be-

A TALK WITH OUR READERS.


As we have said we have no agents
or representatives strolliig through the
country soliciting subscriptions. and we
rely on the good will of our friends for
generous support, not only on the basis
! of friendship and kindly regards, but
because the Caucasian is the equal of
any weekly publication issued from this
section of the State.
1t is not sensational; it deals with
facts.
1t is newsy and reliable and its mar
lSet quotations, revised carefully, may be
| depended upon as guides.
What do we give the reader?
All the local news, crisply written and
in style which is within the under
standing of the most illiterate.
Our editorials are always timely, are
strictly Democratic and plead for the
people.
he Caucasian never takes doubt
full position on any question.
Besides local, telegraph and general
news, the page devoted to the womans
department can not be surpassed. 1t is
exclusively original and appears in the
Caucasian only in this section of the
State
1t has also the exclusive right to Eos
ter's forecasts and to Talmage's Ser
mons. In word, it tells all that is worth
telling without sensation or exaggera-
ton.
This is what we intended to say and
will say: 49,
Whenever you hear an agent disclain-
ing against the Caucasian and insisting
that you subscribe to the only" which
he represents and for which he may
talk off an arm in an hour, consider that
this agent has an interest in you to the
extent of making out of you his little
IS pc. cent, only that and nothing more.
And having obtained your subscription
from which he draws his rs per cent, he
will not care a continental for you until
he makes his round to- gather up another
Is per cent.
This much is said because the Cau-
casian has the assurance that some rs
per cent agents have been attempting to
palm off their publications as being the
best.
We are always willing and ready to
be criticised fairly and will have no fear
Of the result in an honest comparison of
merit and loyalty to the best interests
Of the people.
. Instead OF sending out IS per cent
agents TO worry those who may be in
arrears, we send out by mail the indebt-
ed1aess Of the subscriber in arrears wifi
a request to settle as becomes a gentle
man and an honest man. OF course
among the number are some dead beats
who will never pay. and who will be
dropped, but with such men we would
have little dealing and leave them to the
future in the hands Of "old Nick.
What he i'll do to them will be enough
and will more than Offset their dead
beating Of the newspaper man in this
world This remark is not intended to
apply to any one who can not pay but
are willing; such unfortunates will have
a full measure of grace, but while we
send out no IS per cent agents, we wish |
it generally understood that until April
1, 1903, the Weekly Caucasian will go
for one year at only fifty cents. Fifty
cents cash in advance for ffty-two
weeks reading Can your neighbor af-
ford it? Query him about it, please.
