A Common Sense plea.

The men who volunteered to serve
their country, on the call of the presi-
dent, last April, represented, in their
personality, some Of the best ele-
ments Of citizenship. None more than
themselves, and the constituencies from
which they were drawn, can fully ap-
preciate the sacrifice involved in every
Individual case. The war Is practically
ended. There Is no more fighting to
be done. The volunteers went out to
fight. They are, in their respective
enlisted for a service, defined, Of course,
by a maximum term of years; but they
expected, as they had right to do,
when the necessity for active duty in
the field no longer existed that they
would be mustered out and permitted
to return as promptly as possible to
their several lines of occupation.
While the regular army Of the Unit
ed States Is not large, the volunteer
element has right to be heard in any
request they may make as to their dis
bandment when the dangers of war are
at an end. 1t Is not only senseless, but
brutal on the part Of the war depart
ment, to regard every expression made
by the citizen soldiery of the republic
as mutinous.
The G b e prints this morning a
sensible letter, written by a private Of
the Fourteenth regiment. The views
are those Of a patriotic citizen, who,
responding to his country's call, recog-

buy the Ramsey lot next to the pres

there, Is excellent. The cost would be

most numerous, have never returned.
With them were q number of Chinese

Indians trade actively with British col

THIS MEANS WAR.

On Monday, President Mckinley
sent to Congress the long promised
message on the Cuban situation. he
relates all the primal facts which have
led up to the present critical situation
and recommends Intervention as
third or neutral party in the interest OF
humanity. He strongly urged COL
press not to recognize Cuban indie
pendence.
AS a State document it falls far
short of what was to be expected
in the present crisis. Its tone is one
of hesitation and it is really doubtful
whether it favors Spain or Cuba.
The message was referred to the
Committees on Foreign Relations OF
both branches of Congress without
debate and on Wednesday both bodies
by strict party vote adopted resolu-
tions recommending armed interven-
ton.
In the House the resolutions were
adopted amid disgraceful actions
which are more fully referred to else
where. The Senate will probably act
in the same way, but there will be a
prolonged debate. Until this is done,
open hostilities cannot commence.
This in a nutshell is the situation
today. Both the United States and
Spain are preparing for war which
must inevitably come, unless Spain
backs completely down, which is i'm
possible now that she has gone SO far.
The United States is daily purchasing
vessels, arms and ammunition and is
fast putting on the last finishing
touches before the time COMES to act.
1t seems at the present time that it
will be largely a naval affair, as Uncle
Sam could easily defeat the Dons on
land. On the sea however, they could
give us a great deal more trouble and
for a while at least, our commerce will
be practically suspended.
This will hurt us much more than
them, as ours is about ten times larger.
Now that war is practically upon
us, we hope it will be short, sharp and
decisive. The worst feature of the
affair is the possibility of a prolong-
ed struggle

CONSTL GENERAL LEE.

Perhaps there are but few men who
have been of late occupying the
minds OF the American people tothe ex-
tent with has fallen to the lot of Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee. The peculiar position
in which he was placed,-for months
in the hands of the most treachorous
of all nations-entrusted with duties
of the most onerous and difficult ma
ture, and performing those duties
with skill, courage and ability, he has
been for weeks upon the minds and
tongues of the Americans, in a manner
which bespoke him as one of the idols
of the nation.
Day after day the papers were care
fully scanned to see if Lee was safe
and when his duties had been per-
formed and his government recall ed
him, jeered at, insulted and threaten
ed by the miscreants among whom he
had been, he left the shores of the
Queen of the Antilles, the country
breathed freer, and prepared for him
an ovation the like of which has lad
no parallel for years.
His reception at Richmond was but
a natural one. 1t was given by friends
to an honored and beloved citizen of
the State, a member of n family
whose very mention will bring the
flush of pride upon the countenance
of every true Vrginian; but his re-
ception at the National Capital was a
wonder. Pen could hardly describe
it. Men of all shades of political feel
ing shouted themselves hoarse, and
the veterans of the Union Army We'd
with those of the Confederacy in doing
him honor. Soldiers and sailors, Sena
tors and Repre> statesmen
and citizens joined in the tremendous
bursts of applause and the wild cheers
for him who had inscribed his name
afresh upon the rolls of fame. He
had proved himself worthy of his
trust. He had maintained the honor
of his native land; and had returned
to the bosom of his family to be hon
ored loved and respected by every one.
All honor to Fitzhugh Lee. The South
gave him birth, but the whole nation
claims him.

PATRIOTISM NOT POLITICS.

1t seems unfortunate that our ma
tional Legislators in a time like this
cannot let patriotism rise above party
lines. Certainly at this time, when
the eyes of the whole world are scan
ming our every action critically and
on that action may depend their as
sistance or hostility party lines should
be entirely eradicated. Spain action
il as much an insult to a Democrat as
a Republican, Populist or Prohibit
zionist. Each and every one of us
hold as dear and sacred the stars and
stripes, and either one would resent
the insult as quickly as the other.
Therefore why should there be such
thing as party votes, when there is no
political division. Men may honestly
differ as to the best mode eff dealing
with the matter but this should not
be on party lines, but entirely us an
individual idea.
Both the Democrats and Republi-
cans took practically the same views
about Cuba in their last National con-
vention and neither party will gain
any individual campaign material out
of Wednesdays disgraceful proceed
ings in the House.
The criticisms of President McKin-
ley is not or should not be, because he
is Republican but should stand en-
tirely on wisdom and patriotism, no
matter what party he belongs to there
ought not to be any one so foolish as to
follow him blindly for party sake.
What we want is united action and
all this foolishness about majority or
minority nonsense stopped. II it is
not, our Representative should re-
member that they will shortly have to
return to their constituents for en-
dorsement and some of them may be
forgotten when election day comes.
