originated the Idea of the monument.
Then briefly sketched the inception and

W. Bohon, pastor of the Centenary
Methodist church and past com
mander of U. 8. Grant post No. 28,

"embodiment of honor. Justice mid
morality, a broad representative of
the Union veteran, a humanitarian
and a Christian gentleman." .
Dr. Boston, on taking the chair, re
turned tliajiks for the honor conferred
upon him, and lu a speech of some
length delivered an eloquent eulogy
upon the soldiers of the late war, both
'North and South. After an anthom
by a double quartette the orator of
the day. General Wade Hampton, was
introduced and spoke as follows:

General Hampton spoke as follows:

prove the faith of their convlcrtlous;
and now, North and South, standtnK
by th<*e graves wherever they may
be, grasp handa across the bloody

Con federate soldiers as Anuvicauw,
men who gave to the avorhl ax no

has such an honorable history s*

The followers of a lost cause; it stands
not on Southern soil but on Northern;

from our far-off southland; and it owes
Itw ^reotloti not to die comrades of
these dead soldiers, but mainly to tho
generosity and magnanimity of their
former foes, the cltlzenc* of this Rival
city. All honor, then, to the brave
and liberal men of Chicago who have

the -war as over, and that they can

Some of our Northern fellow citizens
seems to par.'phruse the RIMloal quest ton,
"Can anything good come ma of Naza

friends, wo realize wo arc not all evil.
Put yourselves 4u our places and fudge
us from that standpoint. I:; the conven
tion which formed the constitution, mere
were two parties which held opposite
positions, one u*^ng the fo-ma tlon of a
strong rcvrt-ral government, and rhe other
advocating the doctrine of state rights.
It was attempted to reconcile these ao,
tagorrtstlc views by a compromtee by
which It was declared that nil powers
not del (gated 'to the general government
were annexed to the states, but like all
compromises. It left this vital question
unsettled, and from 17OT until 1861, the
proffer construction to be placed on the
clause of the constitution just reter-reo
to, has led to constant end often angry
discussion. This unfortunate condition of
ntfatrs was further compncaied by me

result of these unhappy dffTwvuces.
These are now all dead Issues, nod I <tu
not propose to discuss them.
It was a vrtso phnasogvber who sold to
a general commwndlns an army: ”1 do
pot choose to argue with a commander

submitted to the arbitrament of the swtn-,1
the decision 1s generally In favor ot
the ten Jeetons. The vexed question*
which have disttwhed the country slice
Bin foundation of «he governriSant are
settled, nnd reference to them la maoe
to show onlv how natural the course of
the South was, educated as the people
there were in the school of strict state
rights. Every Southern man relt that a
call made upon him by his state was an
Imperative command, and that bla duty
was to obey without hesitation- and at
all hazards. When the North called on
Its citizens to rally to the old flag, they
responded to tho summon* of duty an

made on thorn. State allegiance and

MUNICIPAL REFORM.
Record ot the AVork Given at the
Cleveland Meeting.
Cleveland, O., May 29.—The Inception
and growth of the National Municipal
League was reviewed In g paper on
“The Progress, of Municipal Reform.”
hy Natlonul Secretary Woodruff, wllo
recalled the first national conference
for good government In Philadelphia
In January, 1694, and the second held
In 'Minneapolis In December last, the
National League having been mean
while organized, Alay, 1894, In New
York, with fifteen attillated aaaocla
tlons. When the league was organized
a year ago there was between forty
and fifty municipal reform organiza
tions distributed among fourteen
states; now there are 130 ou the lists
of the league, covering In all thirty-one
Slates. The statistics of the distribu
tion and Increase In numbers allow
that the greatest progress has been In
the middle stistea. especially In New
York and New Jersey, owing to the
local causes there the last year, which
has stimulated Interest In the work.
The leagu's oorr apondoilce from
every state and territory bears testi
mony to file necessity of Immediate
stops to establish higher standards of
efildlency of administration and char
acter requirements for officials.
It la an encouraging sign of tlto
times that an Increasing portion of
tile people, realizing the gravity of the
situation and the Importance of re
deeming our cities, are forming asso
ciations to combat the evils of nlpathy
and Indifference, seeking to neutralise
their nail effects by Inculcating A
deeper sense of personal responsibility
on the pant of eaeh Individual citizen.
Alay the national league prove equal
to the lask of forming and guiding
this awakening spirit ot civic patriot
ism. to the end that there may lie n
Hpeedy and permanent solution of the
xreat pmihlum of municipal gOVWJ!"

nate all the forces making for civic
righteousness and to bring Into closer
nnd more harmonious relations all
workers in behalf of better municipal
government. Including facts concerning
the vast amount of literature, compris
ing over 400.000 pages of printed mat
ter which have been dlstrlbuteed, Was
cntertalnlgly set forth.
No amount of munlchml reform pro
gress would be complete without a ref
erence to the Increasing activity nnd
co-operation of women. They are rap
idly coming to the front In organiza
tions like health-protective associa
tions, clubs, nnd in such bod'.es as tho
Civic FederaUon of Chicago, composed
of both men and women. There are
few communities (Colorado being m
exception) ‘where womei* have the
right of suffrage hence their activity |
is limited to educational and agtfetory
efforts, and to looking after the detnlkt
of municipal* housekeeping. Whenever
their efforts have been properly and
persistently directed In these channels
substantial results have been accom
plished.
Without In this connection undertnk
lng to classify the long lief of reform
bodies according to their form and
methods, we find that all of them In
sist upon what wo may Justly term
t*li» condition precedent to trpe and
permanent reform, the separation of
state and national politics from mu
nicipal affairs nnd tho elimination of
patfibanahlp from municipal business
The eradication of the spolte system
anfl the substitution of merit for fa
vorltLsm is llkowls • deemed ossentrial
Back of all the diversity of forms,
sec a sturdy, nwlut^determination
to remove tho stigma thtft Is resting
upon American municipalItlefL
spirit of 1776 and i860 manifesting It
self in a now way. Tile present aqua
tion may not be vo dramatic as that
of 1776 and I860, but It la equally por
teotlous to the future welfare and
maintenance of our republican state.

reforming the crop reporting system
and re-orgamxing the force of crop
r. i.n't.-iv, 'the new system determined
upon bi the outcome of that confer-
en<e.
The now plan 4a to have a correspon

Instead of as under the present plan
of four reporter* In each county-
There will be a, nenlargoment of the
present .working force nnd It ts ex
pected by Air. Robinson that the de
partment will haw 50,000 township
comHpondentM in the field. The old
plan wa* <o have three of the report
ers In each county turn In their mat
ter to thle fourth who Is designated
«* "chief correspondent” and he aver-
i their ivports, and communicates
to the department. Under the new
Hcheme each of tho tawnrihlp ccrre-
i|!»ndenl( tail! communliufte lo the
depn-rtment of agriculture direct. Be-
eau*e of the additional reports, these
r,iports will entail u|>on the office a
large Increase In clerical fore.* of the
department.
The great difficulty of the depart-
tnent 1s experiencing Is In getifn'r
township reporter* as they are not to
receive ipiy. A circular has been pre
pared and sent to county clerks
throughout the country asking (hem
to name two men !r. each township
one of itvhom will be selectel to serve

Ki1d a gentleman of weighty Influence
In Mate polities, who has Just returned
from a Wlp north and cast, to tho
Telegraph cofln«g>ondcnt tom IT, "that
Governor Atkliuon gave an interview
In N«wi York tho other day In which
ho retd there was no chance for a
southern man to be pl.t cel ut the
head of the Democratic national
ticket for the next light because tho
Demodinlta of tho north would not ac
cept a southern finely and, because,
secondly, the old soutltom statesmen
are mostly disqualified because they
served In the Confcderj to army. Then
I believe the governor *V,r ho didn't
think it would bo advi»a.ble to consider
i southern nun for tho head of tho
t southerner at the tail end of the
ticket either.
'Tii is ivicivnce io a loulkerii uian
In the nett Democratic presidential
ticket renvtnJ* me that I find In th'e
coat that there Is much more fota-
Mllty ot tho Rcpubllcann putting a
southern man on their ticket than
there la for a Democrat to get such
I place. There ls a good deal of
quiet talk of this kind In the cant
among the tar seeing Republicans, and
at a second glance there Is wisdom In
the propovJtitk-n.
"For Inslunce, it Is pretty well con
ceded that the it opu Oil cults have th"lr
parly at the north under complete
discipline- They could hold them In
line without any trouble nnl not have
their patriotism lueztlonul If l!n>y
were to come south for their second
man, for you Ittio-v to bi a Republican
north Is to be above the suspicion of
dbdoyulty or anything of that »iut,
though there are plenty of northern
DemorcraU! who would st ind cut till
