here for a united effort to have the re-

as competent and as honest in the place

TRADE CHANGES IN CUBA.

Having paid well for what trade chances there are in Cuba this country should not be slow to grasp them. The State department reports that United States products of machinery, fittings, structural steel. etc.. suit the Cuban trade and are superior in quality to those which come from Europe. The existing American prices. with the ex- ception of those for machinery, are now about 50 per cent. in advance of Euro pean prices. The quality and efficiency of the American product, however, over come any difference in price between it and the European machinery. Dur ing the past year it has been impossible to get goods from the United States

LEE AS A RELIGIOUS MAN.

Chaplain of the Confederate Pays
 Tribute to His Devotion.
 The Rev. J. William Jones, of Rich mond, Va, secretary of the Confererate Memorial association, paid tender tribute to General Lee in sermon on ''The Religious Character of Robert E. Lee," at the North avenue Baptist church. Dr. Jones was personal friend of General Lee, having come in contact with him many times during the war and being chaplain at Wash ingto1A college (now Washington and Lee university), Lexington, Va, during General Lees presidency of that insti- tuition. Dr. Jones gave many incidents of the piety and reeply religious char acter of the great Confederate leader.
 The sermon was preceded by the singing of How Firm a Foundation, Ye Saints of the Lord" Dr. Jones mentioned that this hymn was a favor ite both of General Lee and General Jackson, and was sung at the funeral of the two soldiers.
 Dr. Jones took as his text Acts xi:24: "For he was 8 good man and
 
 "It would not be appropriate to use this language of many of the worlds public men. and especially of the sol- diers," he said, but I am here to de- clare with emphasis that 1t may we'll be said of the great man of whom I am to speak. Robert Edward Lee was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost and Of faith. From Harper's Ferry to Appomattox I followed his standard and learned his Christian character, but especially during the last five years of his life, as president of Washington college, did he show those qualities that proved him greater in paece than in war"
 Dr. Jones told of the first time he came in close enough contact with General Lee to talk of religious mat ters. With the Rev. B. T. Lacy, chap lain at the headquarters of General Jackson he had been to ask General Lee to order suspension of Sunday drills so far as possible. Dr. Jones spoke of the delicate courtesy with which they had been received.
 Next day." he said, "the general is- sued a beautiful order enjoining that nothing should be done on Sunday by his men or horses that was not neces- sary for the sustenance or safety of the press on their men are duty of Chris tian observance of the day..

Der, and after the speaking and great dinner which followed were over, there was determination in every eye that the democrats would win in the Mo- vember election. no matter what the consequences. And they did win; but that is another story. I simply started out to tell what a great barbecue this was. and what a great crowd was there. The likes of it I never expect to see again. Only a great emergency could unite the people and bring them together on an occasion of this sort. It was not love for the men that day nominated for office, but an exhibition of the purest patriotism.
 T hope the good people off the Sec ond district will get up an old-fash- toned barbecut during the present cam paign, for they know how to do it, and l am afraid the darkey who really un- derstands the art of barbecuing beef and mutton and making it delightful to reflect upon as we'll as eat, will soon pass out of existence-they are few enough now. But Raymond can't re- peat the effort of 1875. The enthusiasm of the people can't be aroused, for there is nothing to arouse 1t. I am much afraid the days of the old-fash- toned barbecue are numbered. just as the Lee and Pargoud and White and Natchez and the other magnificent floating palaces that piled the Missis- sippi prior to the building of the rail- roads have passed out of existence, no more to return. Farewell, good old days. Jackson Clarion-Ledger.

ZEAL ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE.

The Brooklyn Eagle is the chief Cleveland boomer, and it is attending to business in great shape. Here is the latest illustration of it's zeal: The country is ready for a change. The Democratic people are ready to assure it through Clevelandism. But the Democratic people cannot assure 1t, unless they coerce their machines to their will and discount their Organs" which under the stress of need or the habit of stupidity or the despotism of oligarchies have neither the vision of bats, nor the courage of mice, nor the mentality of sheep, nor the manners of swine. The machines, their Organs" and sordid or fanatical Republicanism, are the only foes of Clevelandism, and of such may its enemies always be!
 That's the way to talk to 'em. But it is sad to see that the Eagle is more agitated than confident. Tt doesn't seem to be certain that the Democracy can rise to the height of it's opportun- ity. It thus warns and warns it: To become respectable will not be enough. To become robust, more is required. Clevelandisrn interpreted in the terms of the needs and the aspirations of to- day signifies tariff revision, not tariff revolution, freedom of individualism in labor, not the omnipotence of a tyran- nous unionization of enslaved and in- timidated toilers, safety, sanity and justice for capital, not a nagging war on property as crime either by forced court decisions or by extem2orized ex- ecutive conferences with bloodstained fomenters of yelled anarchy.
 Quite a programme for the demoral- ized and apparently damned Democ- racy. It will not be at all surprising if there is failure to live up to it.

A GREAT BARBECUE OF '75.

'Talkin of barbecues," said a citizen of Jackson, few days ago, ''there was never one given in this state to equal that at Raymond oon the 18th of Au- gust, 1875. The whole country, if not the entire state, was interested, for 1t marked the turning point in our politi- cal history, and nerved the arms of the democrats to drive the republicans from power. It was estimated that there were fully eight thousand people present, nearly half of whom were dressed in red shirts, the color adopted by the different clubs as uniform. Each of these clubs. some twenty-five or more in number. had a cannon, and more than one kept a brass band that could make noise. is not music. Crys- tai Springes, well remember, in addt- tion to a band and a cannon or two. brought along a mammoth rooster, in- side of which was a democratic nigger to do the growing, and he "crowed" from the time the great procession started until the clans had assembled around the speakers stand. This pro- cessien was several miles in length, and the route was marked by the boom of guns, the shouts of determined men and the sound of music.
 "While this march was going on the convention that nominated the county ticket was being held under a great china tree in the western corner of the courthouse yard and by the time the latter had finished It's labors the crowd of people assembled in the Heard grove, in the northwestern end of the town to hear the issues of the day dis cussed from purely patriotic stand point and by democratic speakers alone.

FoREIeYA AND DoMEsTIC HEATHE.

|
 Bishop Clark of Rhode Island having been reported as saying that the hill towns of Rhode Island make it folly for Us to send missionaries to foreign lands. or words to that effect, this prelate is moved to state that he does not remem- ber uttering any such words. and that he should regret having it supposed that he ever intended to speak dispar- agingly of foreign missions, but he sig nifcantly adds: 'I acknowledge, how ever, that there are portions of Rhode Island, which, in many respects, seem to be outside of Christendom, and where missionaries are as greatly needed as in China"
 Of course it wouldn't do for a bishop to say that missionaries shouldn't be sent to foreign countries while they are needed here, even if he thought so. For eign heathen are much more interest ing than domestic ones, and their souls seem to be considered more valuable by some of the managers of missionary work. But we suppose Bishop Clark is right in saying that there are portions of Rhode Island where missionaries are as greatly needed as in China. There are also such spots in Connecticut. Per- haps by and by, when all the interest ing foreign heather have been saved. the vulgar domestic ones will get a show,
