Stuart, erected by the cavalry asso ciation of the Army of Northern "Vir ginia. The parade incident to this cere mony started at 2 p. m. and was a brilliant pageant. The weather av,is beautiful, and the display was wir nessed by a vast concourse, estimated t. number 75,000 to 80,000. The people were packed along the whole course of the parade, a dis tance of about two miles, on the side walks, on the porches and in the windows of the buildings on both s: -es of the street. The Avhole number in line and on the sidewalks is estimated at from 12.VI00 to 150,000. There are about 10.000 actual A'cjerans in the citv.

Monument Unveiled. The grand serenade at 2 p. m. at the unveiling ceremonies at the Stuart monument were all that could he desired, both from a scenic A'iew and the elegant manner of its being carried out. Veterans Stirred By Col. Lee. Richmond, Va., Special. In his speech, which aroused the Confeder ate veterans' con-ention aud Avhich proved to be the leading feature of thtf reunion thus far, Col. "Bob" Lee said in part: "There never has been a more critical period of American history than that Avhieh ushered the year L-H)0 upon the Avorld's stage of aet yn.

Suffice it to say that although the South had at one time no inconsiderable career of maritime adventure, 'no ship or shipmaster ol bers had ever in a single case been implicated in the illicit African stave maintained slavery to be the most dangerous clement in the country. From the beginning the statesman of the South scented danger in the great race problem with which they were being saddled and the question that was uppermost in their minds was, what shall be done with the emanci pated serf? The Evils of Slavery. "Much as I deplore slavery,' said Patrick Henry, 'I see that prudence foibids its abolition.' Henrv ('lav asserted that -'The evils of slavery are absolutely nothing in comnnri'- scn with the far greater evils which (.nuivi v. na iiivi would inevitably follow from sud Pniiinpinaltnn ' An1 o ,m n !.. i0n emancipation.' And again he sav3; 1 .were . to invoke the .Uatest blessing on earth v,hi"h ncaven, in ven, in its mercy, could bestow n this natio.-i, it would he the seo aration of the most numerous races of its population and their comfortable r.stabli-hment in distant and distinct countries.' Mr. Mason, of Virginia, vrent farther in declar ing 'The trafiie is infernal. To per mit it is asrainst every principle f honor al safety.' Mr. Calhoun was of the opnion that the existing rela tions between master and servant cannot be destroyed without subject ing tile two races to the greatest ca lamity and the section to poverty, desolation and wretchedness.' "Virginia in October, 1778, and Georgia, in 17t)S, passed acts pro- ui oi nog the importation of slaves The firimr nf nrnvirlnrl o ally of hOOO pounds, and also 'every slave imported contrary to the true interest and meaning of this act d all, upon such importation become free,' thus, to the everlasting credit of the South, upon whose devoted '''ad the vials of holy wrath have ro unjr.slly and brutally pour- "d out for propagating, nourishing '.id harboring slavery, she lends !m. v.ei Id In ?n earnest attempt to pre vent the veiy thing of which she is accuse,!. "'How can the Union be saved? thundered Mr. Calhoun from the floor of theSennte 11 years before the be ginning of hostilities. 'There is but one way by which it can be. with certainty, and that is by a full and final settlement on the principles of justice, of all the questions at issue between the two sections. 'The South asks for justice, simple justice, and less she ought not to take. She has no compromise to offer but the Con stitution.' "When the red curtain of war rolled upon the American stage it revealed the South in arms read' and willing to defend all that makes life worth living, the Free dom of country, the honor of the peo ple, the sanctity of home." -To Meet Next at Birmingham. The Grand Camp, United Confeder ate Veterans re-electedd its general officers as followins: Commander-in-chief General Steph en P. Lee. "Lieutenant General, Department Army of Nortehrn Virginia, Gen.

All the officers were chosen by ac clamation.' Birmingham was chosen as the city for the nest, the eighteen, an nual reunion of the veterans. Other cities competing were San Antonio and Nashville. The vote at first stcod about 1,600 to 800 in favor of the Alabama town. The revolt of the committee on resolutions was adopted without de bate. It recommends that the speech es of Gen. S. D. Lee, Senator John W. Daniel and Cel. R. E. Lee, Jr., be printed in pamphlet form for distri bution and endorses the objects and aims of the Arlington Confederate monument in Arlington National Cemetery. On the correct representation of I he Confederate battle flag the reso lutions committee submitted as a sub stitute "that the action of this as sociation, at its convention held in N;:shhvi!Ie, Tenm, in 1904, be en dorsed and reaffirmed.

Richmond, Va., SjciaLl'iiiler a perfect ky, with bandj playi;ig erasing music in which Iisif" and "Maryland" were preeminent, the remnants of the atmies of the gray Monday pasd through the streets i Richmond and out on splendid Monu ment avenue, unveiled au enduring memorial to Jefferson Davis the tlrt and only President of the Confeder ate States of America. Tie event came as the climax of the reunion of the United Confederate Veterans and every member of the body of old m:n who was able to Calk, rit all took part. The day and the event is one that will live forever in the memory of those present and the expressions of beautiful sentiment Vhich were uttered by the speakers are destined to become a part of the history of the South. Seecnd only to the tribute given to the memory of Dixieland 'g great chieftain were those offered on every hand to the women of the South, whose gift the monu ment is. The ceremony was one of the Soih. No other section had anv pa it iu it. The A'cteirnswho fought for the "Lost Cause" were gathered together to nnv their lrihurn to l!u mm whose memory it revered above uil others. Their descendants were as sembled because it is bred in them to "herish that memory and because they wish to imbibe, new lessons. The speeches counseled the teaching of loyalty to the cause for which there was nothing in the teaching but what excited the sympathy and approval of visitors from the other sections. The first addess Avas bv Cov Claude A. Swanson. of Virginia. The speech of (lovernor Swanson was a welcome to all veterans to Richmond and Virginia. In the course of his remarks the Governor spoke feelingly of the "Lost Cause." Governor Swanson was followed by Mayor Cmllon McCarthy, of Rich mono, v.-ho introduced General Evans as orator of the day, who said in part: Gen. -Evan's Address. - General Evans began his address with a tribute to the Avomen of the South, through whose efforts the sta tue to Mr. Davis had been erected. Taking, up then the influence which had moulded the life of die future president of the Confederacy, the speaker traced his lineage from Eng lish ancestorrs. His father and grand father, on his father's side, had fought in the revolutionary Avar and three older brothers had borne aims in the Avar of 1S12. The speaker point ed out how Mr. Davis alter a service of seven years in Indian compaigns during Avhich he "won fame which his country gladly gave him then and should not forget now," returned to his Mississippi home; served in Con gress; led a regiment of Mississipppi Rifles in the Mexican war; rendering brilliant service nt Monterey' and Buena Vista and later serving in the United States Senate and the Cabinet. Gen. Evans discussed the issues which led to the civil Avar, mainly the ri-ht of secession. He said: "Mr. Davis accepted the ideas of the eminent makers of the constitution and believ ed that they had ordained and estab lished a general goAernment, which had ample powers to conuduct the State to the broadest and loftiest national glory, Avithout having con ferred a grant of even one power to oppress citizens, nor to discriminate against a section or scourge a State." He quoted Mr. Davis' words, "As long as I field-a seat in the Senate my best efforts were directed to ihe maintenance of the constitution and the Union resulted from it, and to make the general goA-ernment an ef fective agent for its prescribed pur poses. As soon as the paramount al legiance "due to Mississippi forbade a continuance of these efforts I Avith irew from the position. " Greatest Day of Reunion. All of the work of the reunion has been done and the fifth and last day was devoted wholly to the payment ! of the tribute to the momory of DaA-is. The streets were brilliantly decorated. There "was scarcely a house or busi ness building in the city that Avas not profusely draped AA-ith the Confeder ate colors and bunting. Young Women Attract Notice.

RATHER HAVE BRYAN The Trust and 1 Monopolies Would Prefer Him to'EooetreltTaft For Tariff Eeriaioi The President's Great Speech at Indianapolis En emies of tha President Shift Their Tactics Wolves la Sheep's Cloth ing Dodin-ia Second ChoM Sentiment Still Growing to Ten der a Second Nomination to Roose velt. 4 SpeVial to the Caucasian. Washington, U C, June 6tb, 1907. The jipeeeh. made by . President Roosevelt at Indianapolis has been widely read and studied, as evidenced by the many thoughtful comments on the same by public men and the press of the eouatry. The speech it self would haA-e been an admirable message to Congress at the opening of the next session, on the further legislation needed to secure a "sqare deal" between the shippers and con sumers, on the one hand, and the rail road companies on the other. In one respect it might be con sidered conservative, and, yet, the po sition taken by the President for fur ther legislation was so clear, forceful and convincing that it is bound on the other hand to carrA' renewed eonti- dence and assurance to the great masses of the people. It Avas such a concise and admirable statement of the evils aud the remedies needed that not even the railroad organ haA-e found a line or sentence that they could successfully attack. Republican Sentiment for Tariff Re vision Growing. The bold declaration made by Sec retary Taft in favor of declaring for tariff revision in the next Republican national platform has deA-eloped the fact that the sentiment in the Re publican party in favor of the same is deep and general. The Ksitkm of Secretary Taft was known by many previous utterances of his This last declaration Avas called forth on account of recent vicious at tacks Avhich haAe been made upon him by the "stand-patters," m which attacks they denounced him as being no Republican and as being a free trader, etc. The bold, frank and open statement of Judge Taft in reply has met, as it deserved, Avilh -overwhelm ing approval from ocean to ocean It is noticeable in this connection that none of the other candidates have yet declared their iwsition AA'ith refer ence to the tariff. It is understood that they are all more or less classed as stand-patters. Whether they will shift their positions in the future to pet in line with the popular current remains to be seen. But one thing seems to be now certain, and that is, that no Republican candidate can be nominated or elected President of the. United States avIio is not for tariff revision, and also, squarely and unqualifiedly for President Roose velt's great and progressive reform policies. Therefore, if the com-ention Avas lo be held tomorrow, there '"would seem to be but two available candidates, namely, Koosevelt or Taft. All Claiming to Stand With Roose- velt. tv. " jj . n: mm i A prominent Republican from North Carolina, here a few days since in the course of a eonA-ersation Hn the political situation, said: "It is noticeable hojv all of the boomers of eAery candidate for President are now declaring that they are squarely for the policies of the administration, and that, their candidate is just the man to step into RooseAelt's shoes and carry forward his great fight for a square deal." Continuing, he said: "While this is. a great tribute to the President's popularity and to the loyalty of the masses of the people to him and his policies, yet this new tack shoAvs th.it their tribute to the President and to the people is a forced-one; for it is Avell known that the enemies of the administration started out to attack Roosevelt and to show how much "safer and saner" their candidate for President was. But theysoon learned that they could make no head Avay in that direction as long as they worked in the open. Then it Avas that they decided to shift their tac tics and work under coA'er. They knew, that to saeeeed, that they had to pretend great admiration for the President." Wolves in Sheep's Clothing. Another significant observation made by this Republican is as fol Ioavs: "Some of the enemies of the administration haA-e been forced to so so far as to declare that they are in faA-or of renominating the President himself. But it is noticeab'le that eA-ery such person does not speak of nominating the President for a second term, but always refers to it as a 'third term,' and thev usually couple with this, that they would be for him for a third term "if he should be a candidate," etc. It ia usually by this kind of apoloqretie statement that such enemies e&n be at once identified. But, at anv rate, they are declaring loudly ; that they are the strongest Roosevelt: men in the country, and, of course, they are do ing this to fool the people into send ing them as delegafes.to the next national convention in order that there tbey may betray the policies pf the adcaiait?tion and tb r"p at the Mae tisEe.". Koa-Cocssittal a Scond Choict, Another idg-nifieant oberrmtkm Ut this Republican is: 44 It is also eoti eeabfe that erenr on of h fre- nded friend of the Imidetst ha so far dodsretl paying bom be faror for eeond ehoictr, if Roosevelt M not a randidate aain" as thrr ! way put it. Thi Republican conclude hi ob fttrvations with the following: "This elas of men are not foolinar the ad ministration, and I do mt belie re that tbey can fool the teop!e in many places this time." The Demand For Roosevelt for Second Term Will Not Down. Since the last isue of the Caucas ian the legislature of the State of Michigan has paed a resolutim pointing out the fact that the coun try has had but one term of Roose velt, and that the iteople have a right to demand that he accept a second nomination ami serve his country through a second term. Not a day passes that interviews from prominent Republicans over he country do not express the same view. Indeed, it grows plainer each day that if the sentiment of the people is honestly represented at the next national Republican convention that the coinention will then ami there tender to Roosevelt a second nomina tion and urge him to yield to the f wishes and demands of the people. It also grows plainer each day that if the people do not instruct theif delegates to the next national con vention squarely as to their second choice in the event the President re fuses to be drafted, that then the enemies of the administration may succeed in nominating a reactionary candidate, which could result in noth ing but the defeat of the Republican party and the election of Mr. Bryan. They Would Rather Have Bryan Than Roosevelt. It should be remembered that the most powerful enemies of the Roose Aelt administration are great financial interests which are neither Repub lican nor Democratic in politics, and that they care not as to which party may Avin, provided that they may pre-A-ent a continuation of the great re forms now being pressed forward under the -leadership of President Roosevelt. Many observant and" thoughtful men haAe recently expressed the the great trusts and the combined opinion that, Avith this hope in A-iew, financial interests of Wall Street, be lieving that less of the Roosevelt poli cies Avould be enacted in the law under the leadership of Mr. Bryan as President, are determined to defeat the President at the next national coinention, eA-en though they were sure that the result AA-ould be the election of a Democratic candidate.
