NO CHIEF SPONSOR
AT REUNION HERE
COPIES Of Order of General Lee Received in Richmond
Will Bring Up Question OF Having Two Parades
Instead Of One at Future Reunions

1t would work n great Hardship and
cause much ill-feeling to set aside
these. Therefore, the whole matter
will be brought to the attention OF
the Richmond convention that the
parties most Interested. the old sol
dlers themselves, may decide what
Is TO be done In future. In order,
however. to mark his appreciation OF
the great work that has been ac-
complished by these noble women.
the daughters, granddaughter or
near relatives of Confederate SOL
diers. the general commanding will
so far comply with tho request as
10 abstain from selecting chief
sponsor and maid of honor for the
South for the Richmona reunion.
without prejudice to the course
which others may follow.
1t is absolutely necessary. how
ever, that the expenses Of the re-
union cities should be reduced, and
he wishes 1t distinctly understood
that the outlay for the entertainment
of all sponsors and maids of honor
must be borne by those who mako
tho appointments. The OILY provi-
sion that will be made by the re-
union committee will be to furnish
n carriage for the parade for depart
nent and division headquarters. This
applies to all future reunions.
II. The general commanding takes
this occasion to say that he will rec
ommend to the Richmond convention
the ACCESSIBILITY in future Of having
two parades. Tho first to be COM
posed exclusively OF the old soldiers:
the other of the U. D. c.. U. S. G.
", memorial societies. State militia
and all others that may be interested.
In the one. the U. c. v. will alone be
the participants; In the other, tho
spectators.

A Gloomy Day.

The Rev. Jones Roscoe Day, chan
cellor of Syracuse University, has come
up to the support of the captains of in
dustry, and in recent address used
this language:
How much was there in the world
so long as the hand was the only thing
that worked? 1t was only after the
brain began to work and men discover
ed ways of developing the resources
of this earth by the force of nature and
by thousand inventions-which the
man who worked with his hand tried
to destroy-that hand work did any
thing beyond the rudest forms. The
labor of this world to-day Is brain
labor. and the hand toiler has the
easier job thousand-fold. The brains
of wealth are furnishing the laborinG
man with his chance to work.
That speech has the flavor OF a sop
to the rich, In any event, it is brutal
and misleading The laboring man and
his skin are quite as important in all
enterprise as the rich mans brains
and money If the brains of wealth are
furnishing the laboring man with a
chance to work, SO are the brains and
Drawn Of the laboring man furnishing
wealth the chance of increase. It is
a reciprocal relationship. and the order
| of the day is to bring about close,
relationship between capital and labor
and make the combination an HONORABLE,
copartnership. with equal obligation OF
| each side. But the doctrine of Chan
cellor Day would destroy all such rela
tionship and create an aristocracy o
wealth on the one hand and a de
pendent peasant class on the other. Hi
doctrine is undemocratic. and the spiri
of 1t is snobbish and contemplate.

We publish the above letter from an
Eastville correspondent rs proper
tribute to Dr. Foster. Superintendent OF
tho Eastern state Hospital We have
heard DR.. Foster criticized for his de-
termined resistance to being put out OF
his office, but Il his stout opposition to
what he feels to be n gross injustice
than censure. He may not have been
an absolutely ideal administrator. but he
has been above the average standard Of
the state, and his personal integrity Is
unimpeachabe. II he has been rash In
language at times. he has been pro-
voked beyond endurance. The effect
upon the servants OF tho State who are
honestly trying TO do their duty VIII be
most dlscouraging when DIR. Foster Is
nut out of his place. We don't know
and don't care anything about the per-
sonal quar}els Of individuals or poh'icai
rivalries; we look at the general admin
istration OF the Eastern state Hosp''"i'
and we believe that Or. Foster mas per-
formed his duty as an honest anu III
telligent man should do.

The Presidents Blunder.

President Roosevelt had provocation
enough to assail Senator Foraker. but lie
was most unfortunate in his selection of
an occasion for making the assault. 1t
was very much like picking quarrel
in the parlor OF a friend when q COM
pany is assembled for social enjoyment.
The Gridiron Club is a social club. and
Messrs Roosevelt and Foraker were Its
guests Its dinner parties are collations
of fun and frolic, and serious discussion
OF public questions Is decidedly out of
place. least of all fiery speech. bristlins
with personalities, such as Mr.. Roosevelt
is said to have uttered at the clubs latest
entertainment. 1t appears to US. therefore.
that Mr.. Roosevelts attack on Senator
Foraker and other guests was not only
untimely, but in wretched taste and
distinct breach OF hospitality. 1t was
also in poor judgment, for all sorts OF
reports have gone out concerning the
Presidents utterances, and the club has
been forced to make = public statement
and say that in one particular at least
MIR. Roosevelt was msquoted. But every
more corrections will be forthcoming by
and by. For example, the New York
Herald OF yesterday says that the Presi-
dent shook his finger in the direction of
Messrs. Foraker, Morgan and Rogers, and
said:
..If YOU gentlemen are not willing to
accept the action of the conservative
class which is ready TO afford protec-
ton alike to the rich and poor. I Will
say to YOU now that when you have
disposed of us by your Vaccinations you
Will ind yourselves face to face with
/; people which believes it has been de-
rrived OF its rights and mob which
does not have the least respect for riches.

This alleged extract from the speech
