THE EDITOR'S CHAIR.
now Tinxas look from
OUR STAND POINT.
The Opinion of The Editor and the
Opinion of Others which we
Can Endorse on tho Various
Topics of the Day.
AN ANSWER TO "K.
Two weeks ago a certain railroad
attorni'y under the "nom de plume"
of "K" took a eloping from the
Wilson Advance that appeared in
this paper, for a pretext to appear
in type on the Kail road Commission
question. He claimed that the ar
ticle refurrwl to left the impression
that a commission could levy a tax
on railroads, and he labored through
nearly two columns, quoting from
the State Constitution and the U. 8.
Supreme Court reports, wasting his
time and our space trying to prove
what was already known and vhat
no one had ever doubted. It is need
less for us to repeat, the article had
no such meaning. Our readers knew
it hail no such meaning and "K"
himself, and every other reasonable
person knew it had no such meaning.
That kind of argument will do en a
log, but it will not do in a newspaper.
Then, did "K" willfully misconstrue
the meaning of that article simply to
force the press to give him a hear
ing to defend himself? No. F.e.
cause over a year ago, wishing tose;i
evii-ry one have fair ply and a hear
ing before the public, we offered the
gentleman w ho calls himself "K,"
space in our columns (and the offer
has stood open ever since) in which
to defend himself and his action on
the Kailroad Commission. Jn fact
many farmers requested him to do
so through these columns. Our offer
he did not Ueeej.t and their request
he did ignore. Then why does he
take this flimsy excuse to say some
thing to the public not pertinent to
the question? Because, by doing
so, he does not stand as one defend
ing his own record, but merely as a
critici.er of, what he would makoto
appear to be, our ignorance. This is
sophistry, which not only does us
injustice, but is also intended to
mislead the public. In our answer
to "K" of two weeks since, we ask-
d him two questions. In this
week's issue he acswers by quoting
section 190(i of the Code, with refer-
nce to a certain kind of discrimina
tion, a decision of the Supreme Court
under that section. But that is: no
an answ er. Does "K" suppose tha
our readers and ou rself were igno
rant of the existence of that statute?
Does he suppose that the farmers of
North Carolina were ignorant of it
when they asked for a commission?
It is true that they might have been
ignorant of it as for what good it
has done them. The law is a failure
and that is why the farmers asked
for a commission. Yes, the law
stands on the statute books, yet it
will cost more to have a certain
quantity of freight shipped from
Wilmington to Clinton, than it will
to ship the same freight from Wil
mington to Vayetteville, about three
times the distance.
We asked can railroads discrimi
nate? "K" says no. We say they
do, and we challenge him to disprove
the fact. A commission would stand
as a vigilance committee not only to
sec that the law was executed and
that there was no discrimination,
but also to report charges that were
too high.
If Mr. "K" wishes to answer an
other question, he can tell our read
ers what profits his railroad make
from the charges they now impose
And we hope he will not use subti
fuges, but come directly to the
point.
WELL SAID.
The man w hom the South honor
to-day is one of the most impressive
characters the world has ever seen.
He rose superior to defeat and su
preme over disaster and ruin. It
does not matter in contemplating
such a man as Lee what opinion is
held of the cause for which he fought
The leader was, in thegcneral view
greater than the cause. If he had
nourished in an earlier and happier
period he might have to-day the
homage of every Amarican as he has
the homage of tho South. Wash
ington Star.
That the object and end of the Sub
Treasury plan, proposed by the
Farmers' Alliance, is to better the
farmer and relieve the depressed
condition of agriculture generally
-admitted. Then let those who
appose the bill and excuse their op
position on some technical ground
propose a better plan for effecting
the isaine results, or cease their op
sit ion.

The Parade
At 12 o'clock the parade moved
promptly down Broad street from the

magnificent iron gray charger, followed
by his aides, with Gen. John R. Cooke,

The William and Mary college stu

At the Monument.
The line of inarch was down Broad
street to Nineteenth, to Main, to Eighth,
to Franklin, to the monument. At 2
o'clock the procession reached the mon
ument and the organizations were
massed around it. The distinguished
guests were seated in a pavilion facing
the statue and the speaker's stand.
I he ceremonies or the unveiling will
now proceed according to the pro
gramme already detailed in these dis
patches. Richmond is about as poorlv pro
vided with restaurants as any city of its
size in the country ami the problem of
providing food tor the multitude or vis

eating houses have been opened for the
occasion, but these proving wholly in
adequate to the requirements of the oc
casion, it has been necessary for the cit
izens to exercise their proverbial hospi
tality, and a large number of strangers
are finding accommodations at private
houses.
Last night every public hall was filled
with cots. Nearly 5,000 Confederate
veterans slept on cotton ticking spread
over straw, the only bed that the com
mittee on entertainment could provide.
The Military Rail.
The formal festivities were opened
last evening at the Richmond theatre
with a military ball. The theatre had
been decorated for the occasion with an
elaborate display of flags and bunting.
From the center of the high ceiling was
swung a canopy of streamers in the
colors of Maryland and Virginia. The
same colors prevailed in the plush
drapery of the balconies. Along the
border of each of the balconies were the
coats of arms of the Confederate states,
while lietween them hung banners of
plush. In the center of the stage was a
fountain half hidden from view in a
bower of blossoming plants.
Against the stage drop in the rear
stood a bust of Lee. On either side 'was
a stack of Confederate colors and beside
them the coats of arms of Maryland and
Virginia. The boxes on either side of
the stage were dressed in the Confeder
ate colors and the colors of Maryland
and Virrinia.
Miss Mary Lee and Miss Mildred Lee,
daughters of Gen. R. E. Lee, assisted in
the reception of the guests.
The Army of Northern Virginia met
in the hall of the house of delegates last
night and heard an address by Gen. E.
M. Low, of South Carolina. The election
of officers for the ensuing year was then
held, after which the body adjourned to
Sanger Halle, and partook of a banquet.
It was the largest gathering of the asso
ciation since the war.
UNVEILING CEREMONIES.

Richmond. Va., May 30. With blare
of trumpets, lieating of drums and the
booming of cannon the monument to
Gnn. Rolert E. Lee, erected by the
ladies of the south, was unveiled in the
presence of a great multitude of people.
During the passage of the processional
column through the princi)al streets of
the city there was a continuous ovation.
Its progress was much impeded by ths
crowd that filled the streets, and it was
nearly 2 o'clocK when th monument
was reached. An enormous crowd was
in waiting there.
A large stand in front of the monu
ment had been reserved for the distin
froLshed guests, the orator of the day
and ladies. It was
well filled when
the procession ar
rived, and the
grand marshal
dismounted and
offered his arm tc

love and adoration of the iwople of the
south for those who had fallen in tle-ii
Itehalf. That feeling was unconquer
able and eternal. Ami 1 all the sunt hen
states there existed a feeling of love foi
the Confederacy. "Which." he said. "it

Governor McKinm-y called attention
to the fa t that all of the Confederate
states were represented in the gather I

representatives which it had sent to the j
exercises. As he named in succession !

Col. Anderson's "Address.
When the applause had subsided, Col.
Anderson said:
Fellow citizens: A ieop'.e carves its owt
image in the monuments of r, s jjreat men
Not Virginians only, not only those wh
dwell in the fair land stretching from tin
Potomac to the Hio Grande, hut all who beai
the American name, may luoudly consent
that posterity shall juuire them by the struc
ture which we are hereto dedicate and crowr
with a heroic linure. For, as the Latin poci
said that wherever the Roman name aut
sway extended, there should be the senulchr
of Pompeii, so today in every part of America
the character and funic of Robert Ed wan'
Lee are treasured as a "possession for al
time."
And if ihis be true of that f-reat natno
what shall ba said of the circumstance!
which surround us on this day of solemn
commemoration? That at the end of the first
quarter of a century after the close of a stu
pendous civil war, in which more than l.Oini,
000 men striiKi!ed for t he mastery during
four years of lierco and bloody conflict, w
should see the southern states in complet
possession of their local self government, the
federal constitution unchanged, save as re
spec ts the great issues submitted to the ar
bitrament of war, and the defeated party
whilst in full and patriotic sympathy with all
the present grandeur and imperial promise oi
a reunited country, still not held to renounce

upon their trusted leaders, living or dead
all this reveals a character in which tht
American people may well bo content to be
handed down to history.
All this and more will be the testimony ot
the solid fabric we here complete. It will re
call the generous initiative and u-iflagging
zeal of those noble women of the south to
whom in large measure we owe this auspi
cious day. It will hear its lasting witness a?
the voluntary oll'erings of the people, not the
governments, of the southern states; and.
standing as a perpetual memorial of our great
leader, it will not less stand as an enduring
record of what his fellow citizens deemed
most worthy to be honored.
Virginia's Honored Sons.
It is the singular felicity of this common
wjalth of Virginia to have produced two
stainless captains. The fame of the one, con-
GEN. LEES 1UCI1MOND RESIDENCE,
eecrated by a century of universal reverance
and the growth of a collossal empire, the re
sult of bis heroic labors, has been commem
orated in this city by a monument in whose
majestic presence no man ever received the
suggestion of a thought that did not exalt
humanity. The fame of the other, not yet a
generation old. and won in a cause which was
lost, is already established by that impartial
judgment of foreign nations which antici
pates the verdict of the next age, upon an
equal pinnacle, and millions of our country
men, present here with us in our thoughts
and echoing back from city and plain and
mountain top the deep and reverent voice of
this vast multitude, will this day confirm our
solemn declaration that the monument to
Georga Washington has found its only fitting
complement and companion in a monument
to Robert E. Lee.
It is the recognition in Lee of the principal
elements of high ideal courage, wilt, energy,
insight, authority the erganizing mind with
its eagle glance and temperament for com
mand, broad, based upoa fortitude, hopeful
ness, joy in battle, all fxiitel by heroic pur
pose and ktudlrd with t;ie s:!ow of an uncon
querable soul; it is, besides and above all, the
unique combination in him of moral strength
with moral beauty; of all that is great in
heroic action with all that is good in common
life, that will make of thi-s pile of stones a sa
cred shrine dear throughout the coming ages
not to soldiers only, but to all "helpers and
friends of mankind."
The orator then went into an elaborate bio
graphical review of the life and character of
Gen. Lee. His marriage to the great-granddaughter
of Washington's wife formed a tie
which connected him by daily association of
family and place with Washington's fame
and character, and it may well be believed
that Lee made Washington Ids model of pub
lic duty.
Lee's personal appearance and moral char
acteristics in his early manhood, and hi3 ser
vices in Mexico, especially at the battle of
Contreras, were sketched lightly. "History."
said the orator, "will record, as Scott himself
nobly admitted, that Lee was Scott's right
arm in Mexico." After leading up to. the
period when it became necessary for Gen. Lee
to make Lis choice of which side he should
fight on In the coming conflict. Col. Anderson
said: No more painful struggle ever tore the
heart of a patriot. He had served the whole
country in a gallant army which, commanded
all his affection. He better than most men
knew the great resources of the north and
west. He knew northern men In their homes:
ne Unew the bravery oi tne noriueru soiuierr
who filled our regular regiment- in Mexico
He was above the prejudices and taunts oi
the d&y which belittled northern virtue and
courage. He knew that, with slight external
differencas, there was a substantial identity
of the American racs in all the states north
and south.
