OPPOSE LEES STATUE.
Senator Hepburn Objects to Hon

MADE UNPLEASANT SPEECH
Idaho Senator Makes Spectacular Exhi-
tional of Sectional Venom---Statue
Already Up.

Washington, q. Ex-senator Hey.
burn of Idaho, renewed his hostility
to any movement nonoring the mem
DRY of Robert e. Lee, whose statue he
objects to being accepted for Statuary
Hall, by offering a resolution demand
ing to know why the United States
collector of customs at Newport
News joined in the celebration OF
Lees birthday.
The resolution considerably sur
prised southern democratic states
men and probably many on the re-
publican side of the chamber. 1t
was sucn an unexpected waving of
the red flag that it astounded every
body, particularly in view of the light
it shed on Senator Heyburn's asper-
sions. The references to traitors and
Benedict Arnolds in that speeca be-
came unpleasantly significant
In his speech Monday on the &C
ceptance of the statue of George l..
Shoup. presented by the state Of Ida
no, Senator Hepburn asked Ii it were
the intention of congress in passing
the act of July 2, 1854, to provide that
any traitor should ever have a place
in statuary hall, or that Benedict
Arnold should ever be so honored? He
held that no statue was OF rignt IN
the hall unless accepted by congress.
Senator Money of Mississippi, in
speaking of Heyburn's address after
the senate adjourned, said
1T is strange to me that here 5O
years after the war, man who never
heard gun fired should make such q
spectacular exhibition of sectional
venom Even his own colleagues will
condemn him Nobody would have
done so more quickly than that great
soldier and magnanimous man, Gen
eral Grant During several weeks
spent with General Grant at MOTEL
in Mexico he frequently spoke of Lee
in the highest terms of admiration.
hope Senator Hepburn will not pur-
sue his unwise course further, but let
this matter DROP
Since the opposition to the accept
ance of the Lee statue by congress
has developed, there has been con
siderable talk Of not insisting upon
this mere formality. The statue is
already set up in statuary hall.
Asked if he thought the usual cere-
monies would be dispensed with in
this case, Senator Money said:
k"Rather than have a statue of Gen
eral Lee sneaked into statuary hall,
l think no means should be spared
to make the ceremonies of acceptance
the most elaborate and impressive OF
any ever held No man whose statue
now stands in the hall deserves more
praise for his noble qualities as a
man, a soldier and Christian Gen.
eral Grant would have echoed tnat
/ greatly admired General Shoup,
whose statue was accepted from the
state Of Idaho. Had | been able to
spare the time to prepare it, / would
have delivered tribute to his mem
DRY. But, if Senator Hepburn persists
in his present course, / favor having

FARMERS URGED TO HOLD COTTON.
Slump in Futures Hasn't Affected the
Value Of Real Cotton.


Value Of Real Cotton.
New Orleans, Las-Apropos Of the
so-called bear raid in the New York
cotton market. President w. B.
Thompson Of the New Orleans cotton
exchange, issued signed statement,
in which he says:
IL there was ever time when the
cotton producer and the holder OF
spot cotton should make stand that
time is the present. We have re-
Gently passed through one of the
most trying and unwarranted declines
in the history OF the cotton trade.
Spot cotton is intrinsically worth lit
tie if any less than it was two weeks
ago, yet in the meantime, through the
manipulation of a few bear operators
in the New York market, the entire
cotton trade has been for the time
being demoralized.
Let it be understood that the
slump in the contract market has not
affected the intriRsic value of cotton.
The law of supply and demand de.
termines this value. The New York
raid is not legitimate incident of
the cotton trade either in spots or
futures. It represents the efforts OF
a few men with much money to gain
their purpose by guerrilla attack.
| It is as ii man or set of men for
the sake of gratifying a personal
grudge and of reaping d personal
profit should endeavor to stampede
the occupants Of a crowded building
by the cry OF fire.
The issue is a large one. 1t com
prehends more than the interests OK
the bear or bull operators in cotton.
It raises the question as to whether
few manipulators shall demoralize
a great trade system and go unpunt
ished therefor. 1t affects the best
interests of not only the spot market,
but the future market as well. The
most powerful agent of retribution is
within the control of the farmer and
spot holder, if they will use it.
