HUMANE GUNS,

The conclusion was reached that the

It is a satire upon our civilization to

Of having carried arms and ammuni-

against Spain, with which country We
are at peace and with which this gov

duty Of this government becomes as
plain as possible. 1t is to enforce the
law against hlihustering against

have no more sacred obligations than
those arising under International law.
To preserve national honor they must
be observed. That the cause Of Cuba IS

fiibustering all the more necessary:
not to exercise it would show bad faith.

That it has not been done it is safe

coNFEDnRATE REUNION INCIDENT.

The confederate veterans recently
held reunion at Richmond. To that
reunion went Corporal Tanner, Of the
G. A. R, and no man was made more
welcome than he. He himself says
that he does not think it possible that
amy mortal man could have had a
warmer greeting than was given him.
Re could have brought back no more
joyful news to his old comrades than
this. But Mrs. Pickett, widow OF Gen
eral Pickett who led the charge at
Gettysburg that has made his name
famous throughout the world for all
time, tells of an incident at the re-
union, where she shared honors with
Mrs. Jefferson Davis. Speaking of the
presence of Corporal Tanner at the re-
union she SAID: NO incident since the
war has done so much to restore and
cement the good feeling between the
nortd and south as the acceptance by
the crippled corporal OF the invitation
to this reunion. 1t was commented
upon everywhere in most cordial terms.
His presence was universally appreci-
ated, and he was fairly lionizad. All
honor 10 the brave, generous soldier.

stage the other day, Ever since the
war have had no use for Yankees.

have seen Corporal Tanner and heard
him speak, I've changed my mind.
God bless him I like the Yankees
now This was but one of many
episodes revealing the splendid impress
sion left by Corporal Tanners visit"
That is a humorous and a touching
incident, and shows how far the war is
behind US. A few years ago it would
have been said that the time never
would come when such a man as Cor
poral Tanner could visit the south and
be received cordially. He has visited
it and has been we'll received, and the
result is a still kindlier feeling be
tween two once hostile sections.

FOURTH or July BARBAR1sM.

Under this head the Omaha Bee has
an article condemnfng the American
way of celebrating the Fourth of July.
1t holds that this manner of celebrat-
ing shows that lie American people
have not the civilization it is their
pride to boast. After speaking of the
indisciiminate discharge Of firearms,
the explosion of gunpowder and the
Ike, the Bee proceeds to say:
This relic of barbarism and saw
sGery is c0untenanced by public au-
thorities because, and only because, it
has the sanction of custom and spu-
rious patriotism. What would a Fourth
Of July be without the booming of
cannon. the discharge Of guns and the
rattle of fireorackers? What would a
Fourth of July be without Roman can
dies. sky rockets and devil chasers?
Perish the small boy or cripple the
man. hut don't desscTata the national
holiday by consecrating it to sens
bic and harmless recreationI To the
sober thinking and truly patriotic this
annual slaughter of the innocents and
manning Of The rash and imorudent is
suggestive of the fact that with all
their hCasted civilization the Ameri-
cans Of today are only one degree re
moved from the aborigine. Up in Pine
Ridge several thousand Indians cele-
bra1ed Independence DAY dressed in
paint and feathers and their hideous
performances recalled the time not
very remote when Clusters brave vet
Grams succunbed to the onslaughts of
Sitting Bull and his bloodthirsty
scalpers. In what respect did the sor-
gies CT the Sioux differ from the or
gies of the Onahas. the Keokuks or
the Chicagos? The only difference. if
any. was that the red sava ges left
fewer victims than did the white saw
ages
There is some sense and a good deal
Of nonsense in that. IT is Young Amer
lea that INDUCES in the style of cele-
bration that is so abhorrent to an
Omaha contemporary, and we confess
we like TO have them do It 1t may be
mere notion. but somehow nothing
recalls Concord and Lexington SO
wildly and so thrills one on the glo-
rious Fourth as the sound of the guns
and old-fashioned single-barreled
horse pistols being fired off by the
boys. Accidents happen sometimes, it
