A Missouri ex-confederate veteran
association patriotically telegraphed
to Secretary Blaine that they were
400 strong and were ready to move
on Rome at his call says the Fort
Worth Gazette. Their ardor might
be cooled if they knew that they
could only serve as prlvates. No
man who was in the Confederate
army can hold any official position
in the army or navy of the United
States, no matter what ability or ex
perience might be his. Even Long
street, Beauregard, Mosby, or any
other of the commanders of the Con-
federacy who if left alive, could be
no more than a private soldier, to
march and fight in the ranks, under
the eye, perhaps, of a negro SER
geant or corporal.
