Only one who has Been the thousands of little stones, all nameless, in the graveyards at Chickamauga and Gettysburg can get the faintest idea of what It means to be a Grand Army man. Are we forgetting? At an unveiling of a soldier's and sailor's monument at Mt. Vernon, Indiana on July 23, a captain of the Spanish war as marshall of the day insisted that the Spanish-American veterans should have the place of honor in the procession. The Civil war veterans withdrew and marched by themselves. Does the lightning never strike In the vicinity of Mt Vernon? We have the highest respect for those men who did fight in the Spanish war but they mu6t remember the services of their elders. We Quote from our friend the New York "Sun" a few verses In regard to those men who want pensions who did not fight in the late war with Spain. "I used to walk the sentry line, And watch he moon roll by. And when the daytime came again Th girls all brought me pie. We lived all through that awful war (I never thought I'd die) And now I'd like a pension please For eating all that pie." We do not mean to criticise those men who did fight nor those who suffered and died from the horrors of dysentery and fever. But a comparison which puts the achievements of the Spanish war on an equal plane .with the great civil war; which mag-

nifies the terrors and hardships in our late war with Spain to such an altitude that the veteran of the" Spanish war can not yield the first place to the men who saved the union Is odious not only to the G. A- R. but to the rest of the country. There la not enough respect to age, service and ability In the country, but if the youth of the land respect not even the Grand Army man it is a bad state of things.

THE ERA OF OVERSTRAIN. A little over a month ago a Pittsburg millionaire gave to the Johns Hopkins university the sum of $500,000, for the purpose of adding to its almost perfect hospital, a clinic for the treatment and study of brain disorders. The ordinary observer has a more or less hazy idea that the place for persons afflicted with brain trouble Is the asylum. But all alienists in the country who are worthy of mention have long desired such an institution to take up the matter of what we may term the near-crazy. There are such clinics in Europe doing great service to humanity, but this is the first thing of the sort in this country. Our scheme of modern life is not calculated to have a good effect on the brain. The many cases of "nerves" in women and nervous prostration in men, the large numter of farmers wives who go insane, the number of highly strung young men and women who are eccentric, the number of the same class who are kleptomaniacs or addicted to some form of perversion, all these point to overstrain of some sort either in their own generation or those preceding. If it is the fault of our time; our time must make it good. Take the case of the drug user or the kleptomaniac, if such cases could be treated properly it would save many a life. The social stigma which attaches to a case which has been laid bare to public view is often too much for the already unbalanced mind to stand and it often gives up to lower and worse things. "What's the use?" In the future a very different fate will befall the kleptomaniac. Instead of calling the police .there will be a call for the doctor. No stigma will attach. The patient (not the 'criminal") will be taken to the hospital and treated. Then those concerned will not say that they regret, but action of a severe nature had to be taken. Ignorance is always cruel, as witness the condition of the Insane fifty years ago. With more enlightenment on the subject the victims of our social order will get better treatment at the hands of society. MAIN STREET. For some time ladies have been complaining of the condition of Main street, saying that it is impossible on many occasions to cross the street in the business section without soiling shoes and summer dresses. This morning there was the usual condition of affairs. At 8:30 a. m. Main street looked like a barnyard with the marking of "poor minus" by Inspector Owens. At the corner of Fifth and Main a feeble old man was doing good work very slowly.v In front of Muth's saloon there was another broom. The sweeper was asked whether he was alone. He said that there was another man helping him and that the third was sick. He thought they might get as far up as Ninth street, today and work down tomorrow. This is a condition of affairs which might be stood for temporarily. But it does seem that it is an inadequate force. It rained heard last night so that early in the day the street should have looked comparatively clean. If large cities with an immense traffic can keep their streets clean, it would appear that Richmond should keep five or six blocks clean. It is a good thing for the merchants to have the street as Inviting as possible. It will not do to assume that the customers come from the country and are used to piles of manure. If this be the case let us give the farmers a reason for wanting to come to town But if only for the benefit of the citi fens of Richmond something might be aone. ii tne department has not a sufficient fund at Its disposal to keep Main street clean, let it have more money. "Have yon a -tank in the building? Inquired the inspector from the lnsur ance office. "We hov." admitted the janitor.

NOW IN CINCINNATI Secretary Taft Will There Until After 4 tification. Remain NoWAS BUSY YESTERDAY. New York, July 25. The republican leaders of the city were fully alive to their opportunity yesterday to make the personal acquaintance of their candidate for the presidency and when W. H. Taft leaned back in his Pullman seat late in the afternoon to begin his journey to Cincinnati he had shaken the hand of practically every district leader in Greater New York, a num ber of state leaders and had had conversations with politicians of varying degrees of prominence to the number of several hundred. "It has been a day of acquaintance making,' was Mr. Taft's comment after the impromptu reception was over. "There is no political significance to be attached to any of the interviews I have had. It is a little too early for me to get reports of the situation in the state, but from what has been told me by the men I have seen satisfaction seems to be the prevailing state of mind." So far as Mr. Taft now intends, this will-be his last visit to the city until after election. He reached Cincinnati today shortly after noon. After the notification ceremonies Tuesday it is his purpose to return to Hot Springs at the earliest possible moment, prob ably Wednesday. Judge Taft would make no comment on the statement of President Roosevelt as to the Standard Oil court pro ceedings. Thee Fabrics Come From Two Entirely Different Animals. "The other day I heard a couple of men arguing about mohair and alpaca, one of them gvavely asserting that they were different names for the same fabric," said a New York Importer. "The assertion was very far out of the way. The cloth kLown as alpaca, If genuine, comes from the wool of the animal of the same name, which thrives only In the Andean regiona of Peru and Chile in South America. The alpaca, or paco, which resembles the llama, looks a good deal like our domestic sheep and has a most beautiful fleece. Great flocks of them browse on the highest ranges of the Andes and are the property of the .native Indians, who shear them once a year. Many efforts have been made to breed the alpaca in different parts of Europe and Australia, but without success. A cargo of them was brought to Baltimore some time in the middle of the last century, but the experiment of raising them in the United States was likewise a failure. "The cloth, known as mohair comes from the Angora goat, a very dlfferest animal from the alpaca. The angora Is found in South Africa, but the largest flocks are found in Asia Minor." Exchange. Siamese women intrust their children to the care of elephants, who are careful never to hurt the little creatures, and if danger threatens the sagacious animal will curl the child gently up In his trunk and swing it up and out of harm's way upon its own broad back.

CONVICTS SOLD LIKE MULES IN GEORGIA Sartling Results From Prison Investigation. Atlanta. Ja., July 2.". Startling developments were brought out at the most recent session of the legislative investigation committee into the conduct of the prison board and the convict lease system. I. D. Strong, a merchant of Macon, formerly a convict, testified that men were lined up at the prison fram and sold like mules. J. V. Roberts, formerly deputy warden at the state farm, told how convicts were employed in competition with free labor in Milledgeville when they could have been used on the state farm. L. K. Foster, formerly in charge of the prison farm, told of the whipping of Mamie De Christ and her forced employment at manual labor in the fields. PILLS AND PILES.

UP TO PRESIDENT Cincinnati Shippers Ignore Intermediate Processes in Rate Fight. NO POLITICS IN BATTLE. Cincinnati. O., Juluy 25. Brushing aside all intermediate processes and modes of action, the Receivers and Shippers' association of Cincinnati has carried Its war agaln6t a general increase in railway freight rates directly to tho president of the United States. In general effect a communication forwarded to President Roosevelt last Saturday at Oyster Bay and made public here last night, asks the chief executive whether or not he intends to enforce decree issued coma years ago against certain railroads. If bo, he is asked at once to cause the attorney general to bring proceedings for contempt against the Missouri Pacific railway and the Chicago, Rock Island &Paclflc railway. Denying that politics had anything to do with the letter at this time it Is explained that because of the fact that certain general increases in freight rates are to become effective August 10 by certain roads prompt and positive action became necessary.
