LEI rrEM ALONE.

Let us not be too nasty in passing harsh judgment upon that old soldier or the Union who made himself con- spicuous at the state encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic in Illinois. Monday night, by delivering 8 vitriolic address in which he excori- ated the memory of General Robert E. Lee.
 It is all right for us to make fun of Senator Hepburn, Congressman Scott. and others of the younger gen. eration, who never saw a war and who work themselves into a fine frenzy of passion against the dead soldiers of the ConfedeIacy. The great mass of Americans do not care recall it's glorious features: That in spired genius of democracy. Abraham Lincoln; the patriotism of a nation in arms and determined to preserve the nation at all costs; the bravery and self-sacririce of q million young men on countless fields; the steadfast courage and unselfishness of Ameri can women, of the North and of the South; the matchless valor of north ern and southern men-and the fact that the republic. saved by Lincoln and the north is now a republic of really united states in which there is no longer a north or a south.
 But, while we remember these things and have forgotten the wars bitterness because We were not of it, we must accord to the old veterans the privilege of getting excited and cutting up such capers as they will when they meet in their encampments and, "shouldering their muskets, show how fields were won" Theirs is the privilege of living over again the days Of 'e1; theirs the privilege of getting warm under the collar and conjuring distorted visions of trait DTS" and Benedict Arnolds" It is only the now rare outburst of ven- erable old soldier who won on the hard-fought battlefield the right to talk forever. if he pleased. about his conflicts and his enemies-it is only these outbursts which recall to us our loss of rich vocabulary of sunging epithets which embell.shed our lan- guage a generation ago.
 And by the same token, let us, with a smile. listen to the roarings of the old rebels. also; for they. too. by fol- lowing in bare feet through the frosts of winter their leaders-Lee and Longstreet and Jackson and Stuart and Johnston-following their leaders into battle time and again in support of what they thought was right, won the privilege of praising their com rades and their leaders for all time.

HOW CONGRESS WASTES TIME.

If one has the patience to look through the bulky Congressional Rec ord, freighted as it is daily with long and tiresome speeches and long and tiresome debates. which begin apropos of nothing and end nowhere. an excel lent idea will be gained as to the manner in which congress wastes time
 We are solemnly told that congress hasn't the time" to consider and pass the statehood bill, or to pass much at all of the presidents program of legIs- lation to carry out the party pledges. Meanwhile, however, the statesmen waste hours every day in silly "de- bate" or the delivery of essays to which nobody listens.

Guayaquil, Ecuador, April 4.-Serious
anti-Peruvian riots occurred during the
night. Mobs attacked the Peruvian le-

tearing down the Peruvian colors and
dragging them in the dust. Many Pc
ruvians were assaulted and their prop

The rioters demanded war with Peru.
Quick action by the government pre-
vented further trouble. Today the
streets are patrolled by the military,
both here and at Quito.

tacks on the Peruvian consulate at
Guayaquil by Ecuadorian mobs have

Prof. Richard Abegg, Distinguished
Chemist Dead as Result of
Balloon Accident.

Brestau, Prussia. April 4.-Prof.
Richard Abegg, a distinguished chemist
and professor OF chemistry at the Uni

tempting a landing following balloon
flight yesterday.
Professor Abegg, who was fond Of
ballooning, assembled here yesterday in
the balloon Silesia, which belongs to

dangerous to continue the flight. Ac-
cOrdingiy, the gas valve was opened
and the balloon dropped slowly to earth
Gerstel and the woman landed safely,
but before the professor could get out
of the basket a gust of wind caught
up the half-deflated balloon bag and
dragged the basket along the ground
for some distance. Abeggs skull was
crushed and his legs broken. He died
soon afterward.
