The Chronicle bus heretofore
r,.(rained from commenting on
the protect from CJ. A. R. and
other Northern quarters against j
plm'inff a statu ' of (ienernl Lee ;
in Statuary Hall, lest sectional j
feeling nhoultl be unnecessarily
ar,tuned in our own or the other
nei-tion of the I'niied Stales.
These protests have been tinani-
ni. -<ty disapproved at the South
,ni l widely disapproved at the
North. What the Chronicle has

fuid without bitterness. Some-
thing should t e said, because ¡

for his historic renown and dis-
tinguished lor bis military ser*
"fees, |||. j., also deemed wor-
thy liy his state of tin- national
c, ni in emulation and justlv so.
Hen wc have the crux of the
Wc*tion. Is it morallv right
nd IS it fitting that the great
chieltain of the Confederacy,
"hodid more than am one man,
rd in hand, on the fields of,
many great bailies, through
many campaigns, through many
years, to dissolve this govern-
ment, should have his statue
placed in the Capitol of this gov-
ernment, against which he com-
manded the armies of victory
and finally the army of defeat?
Ought there to be, in the na-
tional Capitol, under the Stars
and Stripes, a monument to the
general who fought under the
Stars and liars and earned un-
der that flag the title of one of
the greatest soldiers of the
world? Ought there to be an
efhgy of the man who placed the
cannon at Fredericksburg and
who directed the forward and
Hank movements at Chancellors-
ville, in the city of Washington
which he so often threatened,
and in that capítol which be
made a capítol of consternation
during the four years his grim
men in gray battled and the
"rebel yell" reverberated in the
country, across the Potomac and
beyond it.'
The answer is. Yes. Not on-
ly bciuiise Lee personally was
thi ideal Christian soldier, the
Sou til's hero and great exem-
plar. whose character, with its
watchword of duty, which he
pronounced "tile noblest word in
the Knglish language," and lived
up to it. shines as a great light
for the betterment of all men
throughout the world who will
•ok up to it; but because the
cans, of the Confederacy, for
wliu h lie fought, although a lost

Kirsl, the garden should be
cleaned. Remove the winter
crop of tin cans by throwing
them over into the next yard.
Although you do not need them,
somebody else may.
The garden must be digged.
To have it done right you must
do it yourself, If your neigh-
bors 1 with your help) raise
chickens, or if you support a
dog. you may consider that the
garden will not require to be
touched with a fork at all.
However, chickens and dogs are
I apt to work unevenly, and more
: to suit their own ends than the
garden's.
Put in your sunflowers early,
so that you may be fortified
against cold snaps and cloudy
days; and if you are wise
enough to get your moon vines
to going, you can potter about
nights whenever you feel dis-
posed or your deeds demand it.
It is well to devote one corner
of the garden to chiekweed1 for
through thus doing you will be
independent in the way of Sun-
jday dinners. Although neigh-
j bors are very careless as to
I their live chickens, they are pe-
culiarly sensitive as to their
dead ones.
Or better still, set out some
egg-plant. With a thrifty egg-
plant one may be perfectly in-
different to the cold-storage
trust.
< fyster plants are nice to have.
They demand plenty of water.
I have known an oyster-plant,
well watered, to supply the

through all a fall and winter and
I not be exhausted. In making
your garden, do not forget your
church.
An electric plant will provean
excellent bit of forethought.
Horseradishes are now no longer
in Migue, and an auto-radish is
about to be placed upon the gar-
dener' list; consequently an
electric-plant will prove a useful
adjunct.
Sugar-beets, cucumbers, and
violets, planted together, will
result in sweet pickles of deli-
cious flavor and aroma. Dutch
tulips and Spanish onions are
better apart, and if the French
kidney-beans and the Irish pota-
toes ;;re separated it will con-
duce to harmony. Harmony —
the ii -thetic side of the garden
should not be neglected.
Don't attempt to accomplish
too much. Don't have too large
a garden but. nevertheless, cov-
er all the ground possible. This
may sound paradoxical, but by
so doing you wil1 speedilv ascer-
tain in what directions to pro-
ceed. Only experience will
teach you hilly. It a garden
two doors west has lettuce, as-
sui'i dly it is folly for you to
have lettuce in wmr garden.
Variety is the spice of life,
and ingenuity wi.. make poor
soil bear wonderfully. In fact,
given ingenuity, the variety will

back-yard garden would grow
apparently nothing but cats, by
