much to do with the formation of the
G. V. and as commander in chief of the
association, General Joseph Brown Cor
don, now sitting in the United States
senate from Georgia, is very popular
with the veterans, who never forget that
during the long struggle he rose from
the comparatively humble post OF in
fantry captain to be lieutenant general
to Robert E. Lee. They remember, too,
that on his person he bears evidences OF
his valor in battle in the shape of eight
scars, each the result of a war wound.
General Gordon deserves the enthusiast
tic regard in which he is held. Two or
three sentences from his opening address
at New Orleans will not be amiss just
here. They show the spirit in which this
man of 60 looks at the present situation:
What mean these honors to the shat
tered fragments of those mighty legions
which once in the white smoke of the
battle followed the plumes of Lee, of the
Johnstons, of Hood, of Forrest and of
jackson? There can be nothing of self in
terest or of self seeking in this demon
stration. These gray haired soldiers of
the sixties have brought to your midst
neither merchandise nor gifts nor prod
ucts to barter. Neither are they the dis
pensers of political patronage to the sub
servient or ambitious.
THE very government to which they
gave their unpurchased allegiance is no
more. The old order has passed, and a
new era has come. Blended now in one
common citizenship and in one Ameri-

can brotherhood are the brave veterans of
both these vast armies which once met
and grappled each other in deadly COM
bat. now and forever united in the en-
nobling pursuits of peace, and with their
faces turned to the promising and preg-
nant future they are resolved by their
joint efforts to achieve for their common
country destiny higher and grander,
if possible, than was ever anticipated or
even hoped for by the founders of the
republic"
Scarcely less honored by the veterans,
though of course in quite another fash
ion, is Miss Winnie Davis, the ''Daugh-
ter of the Confederacy." On the first
day of the U. C. V.'convention at New
Orleans she was made the recipient of a
beautifully hammered gold star and
wreath, the gift of admiring veterans
from west Texas. She is sure to receive
marked attention at the coming conven-
ton should she be present in Birming-
ham during the sessions.
Hon. John w. Daniel of Virginia, who
made the chief Grafton before the veter-
ans at the New Orleans reunion, was also
great favorite there. He served through
out the conflict in the Army of Northern
Virginia, rising to be adjutant general
on General Early's staff. When the war
was finished, he studied law, was adj
mitted in 1866 or 1867 and was chosen a
United States senator to succeed William
Malone in 1896, taking his seat in 1887.
He has twice been reelected senator since
then.
Another high in favor at the New Or
leans convention was Lieutenant Gen
eral W. L. Cabell of Texas, well known
in the south, though not so familiar to
northerners, as "Oll Tige." When he
arrived at the convention, he was the
representative of 60 camps of veterans
who had not before been members of the
U. c. ", and badge of the organiza-
ton was specially presented to him by
General Gordon. General Cabell was a
most active soldier until captured at
Union Creek, after which he was sent
first to Johnson's island federal prison
and later to Fort Warren, in Boston har-
Dor. After the war he studied law,
which he practiced for time at Fort
Smith, Ark, but finally settled down
permanently at Dallas, where he was
three times chosen to be mayor of the
city. He was born in Virginia.

The merchant had arrived at his office
as early as o'clock, and five minutes
after he got down to his desk foxy

but said nothing. At the end of two
minutes he coughed slightly and spoke

The merchant looked at the clock.
"When can you Gomez" he asked.
81 don't have to come, sir" replied
the youngster. "Tm here now, and I'd

Half an hour later he was at it, and
he's likely to have job as long as he
wants it.-Tit-B Bits.

mingham will not meet as many of the
brave men'of 1868 as they did at the
last reunion, and as they survey the de-
pleted ranks the conviction must force
itself home that the number will be still
smaller at the next reunion, smaller yet
at the next, and that presently none will
be left.
So while the emotions and reminis-
cences that are aroused by the greeting
of comrades who have suffered and en-
dured together and the memories of
those who have gone out before will per-
haps be dominant, as at previous gather
ings, there will also be present and
stronger than ever before those emotions
that are caused by the conviction that
the ultimate veteran even will not long
be spared. This is quite as true of the
Federal as of the Confederate heroes, and
the realization thereof has doubtless
played its part in the softening processes
that have been manifesting themselves
of late among soldiers of both armies
even more pronouncedly than in the past.
Birmingham does we'll to make elab-
crate preparations to receive the griZzled

fierce and bitter and long continued, at

it was before the struggle.

well to greet with uncovered head the

The United Confederate Veterans
were organized in 1899. Previous to

We're divided in allegiance between sew
eral general organizations formed along
the lines of division of the Confederate
army during the war. The veterans of
the Army of Northern Virginia, the
Army of Tennessee, the transmississippi
forces and the Confederate cavalry all
had their own organizations, and until
the crystalliZation of the U. c. V. it was
not practicable to hold a gathering rep
resentative of the entire Confederate
forces similar to national convention
of the Grand Army.
There is no doubt that the division of
the veterans into so many camps weak
ened them all, but the response to the
call for meeting to effect a general or
ganizatiOn was so spontaneous, so gen
eral and SO hearty as to leave no ques-
ton as to the solidarity of sentiment pre-
vailing among them. This call was is

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has devoted the
greater part of this week, night and day,
to listening attentively to arguments for
and against the Bland coinage bill,
although it is known that he has long been
close student of the question involved.
|, Is because of the differences in opinion
among democrats on the matter that he
his been anxious to hear all that both
| sides have to say. Up to last night he
b ID not indicated what disposition he
would make of the bill. In view of the
record of the president 1t is a waste of
space TO say that there is absolutely no
foundation for the stories sent out from
Washington making him party to a bar
gum with the silver men in congress.
They are simply sensational libels upon
the president as well as upon the silver
men. No man ever occupied the white
house who was clearer of bargaining,
either for personal or political gain, than
Grover Cleveland, and, while his de-
cislon must necessarily be against the
wishes of many good democrats, it can be
set down in advance that it will be the re-
suit of his honest convictions. and there Is
little doubt that it will be so accepted by
the democratic party at large.

The citizens of Birmingham. Ala, are
getting ready to offer a most hearty well
come to the United Confederate Veter-
ans, who will hold their fourth annual
convention and reunion, postponed from
last year, there on Wednesday and
Thursday, April 26 and 81. The surviv-

ing to be present in large numbers, and
it is expected that the coming gathering
will excel in interest, certainly in some
particulars. any and all preceding re.
unions of Confederates.
One reason for this lies in the fact that
with the lapse of years the number OF
survivors is constantly growing smaller.

composed of transmississippi soldiers. F.
S. Washington of the Army of Northern
Virginia was chairman of the commit
tee, and when the organization was con-
summated in June, 1889, General j. B.
Gordon was made commander in chief.
One of the features of the first conven-
ton, held the following year in Chatta-
nooga, was the submission by commit
tee composed of sons of those who fought
for the Confederacy of petition asking
that action looking to the formation OF
sons Of Confederate veterans into an or
ganization of their own be taken. This
petition brought about the authorization
of such an association as was proposed.
Organization was effected, and the 80
ciety has at present large and growing
membership.
The second reunion, held at Jackson,
Miss, on June 2 Of the following year,
preceded by one day only the unwilling
of the monument to Confederate dead
erected by the ladies of the state, and
most of the veterans in attendance re-
manned to witness the ceremonies of the
unwilling. Fully 90, 600 delegates to the
convention and visitors present specially
because of the unwilling were there, and
this large number of spectators added
greatly to the impressiveness of the &C.
casion.

ers, and many visiting veterans who ar
rived early in the Crescent City joined in
the beautiful ceremonies as observed by
it's citizens. The attendance at the re-
union was larger and more enthusiastic
even than at the preceding ones. There
had been much sincere and successful
work of organization performed during
the year, and the membership had in.
creased very materially. The question OF
the standing in the organization of naval
veterans came up, and it was formally
decided that those who fought for the
Confederate cause on the water were en-
titled to all the confederation and priv
ileges accorded to those who fought on
the land.
