TILE CONEEDERATE REENION

This ycnrs reunion Of Confederate veterans
now in progress at Atlanta. Is marked with one
unprecedented circumstance. There are some
noteworthy vacancies In the ranks Several
figures hitherto conspicuous and hOnorcj are
missing from their accustomed places. That IS
true, OF course, every year. as these ranks grow
thinner and those Of the greater Invisible army
are filled up. But these vacancies are not
caused by death. These missing veterans have
not gone over 10 the great majority. No, but
they are wearing the old blue uniforms which
once served as targets for their rifles. and
marching under the old flag which they once
sought 10 tramplc in the dust, and leading the
armies and fighting the battles OF the Nation
which they once strove to destroy. In that Is
the unique significance OF to-day's reunion

A CASE or GESH,

The project of giving Admiral Cervera a
handsome house at Tampa, where it is as
sumed that the climate and surroundings might
he agreeable to him. will probably be dropped
when the novelty of the proposition has worn
off. and vet It would not be the strangest thing
IN the world II an effort were really made 10
carry 1t into effect and n subscription for the
purpose were recommended to the American
people In view Of this possibility 1t may be
well TO say that the idea is grotesque, and some
thing more than that Admiral Cervera Is n
gallant gentleman. whose consideration for
Hobson and Hobson's countrymen won their
gratitude and admiration. whose desperate exit
under orders from Santiago Harbor put the
final stamp Of authenticity upon his valor ana
obedience and whose conduct since that mo-
mentous day has disclosed many OF the finest
trnifs of humanity For these reasons he Is
entitled to the kndest treatment which it is IN
the power Of our Government TO bestow upon
Il captive and we are sure that Americans are
sincerely glad to know that he Is receiving
every suitable attention and IS as comfortable
in body and mind as it is possible for so UNI
fortunate n man 10 be- And for these reasons
also he may justly ask that Americans should
refrain from making suggestions concerning his
future which he could not accept without for
fciting his own sclf-respect and subjecting him
self to the contempt of his coun;rymen.
or course the proposition to give Admiral
Cervera n house at Tampa or elsewhere is well
Intended but It Is the perverted notion OF n
certain class Of persons who so soon as they
come under the influence of n generous scnti-
mcpt. carry it TO fantastic extremes. II Is an
example Of g,lsh, which Is always repulsive 10
sane minds though Il often escapes unsparinG
condemnation out Of regard for the respectable
impulse behind it,. Sensible citizens OF the
United States hope that Admiral Ccrycra's
gloomy forecast of humiliation awaiting him
ut home will not be verified, but that he will
enjoy among his countrymen, when the pas
sons of war have subsidized. the esteem which
Is felt for him here. That surely would not be
his fate If he accepted from his c0nqucrors suc
n gift ms few Of them are apparently DESTROYS
of thrusng upon him. IT is essentially al in
suit to this brave and loyal Spaniard to as
sumo that he could be induced to put himself
under obgn tons for anything more than com
Portable maintenance and courteous attentions
during his captivity. 1t seems rather absurd
10 discuss such n matter seriously. but so many
folles find an enthusiastic minority to support
them that II may be worth while TO designate
the real nature OF an enterprise which wears
the superficial aspect of benevOlcnce.

AyTEIuPERfA LISTIC QUESTIONS.

Tho Interesting announcement Is mad" tfiat

whether the foreign policy of the FATHERS Is

course no doubt as to how the convention VIII

nose of demanding that that policy be rcpud'-
a,ed. abandoned, departed from, animated
That Is why its members are Anti-lmperalists.
They are unalierably opposed TO continuance
of the foreign policy Of the Fathers. NO

called to order.
But II Will he pity for so important an as
scmhlage to find it's occupation gone so quick
Is, and itself left wondering
II | so soon am done for.
Oh what was begun for?
SO. at the risk of seeming to rush IN where
angels would fear to tread, we venture TO suG-
cost few more somewhat cognate questions
for the convention to consider There IL no
doubt rs TO how it will decide them. but the
simple act Of calling them up and voting upon
them unanimously in the affirmative will take
up some time and thus bestow upon the coun-
try the sweet boon Of keeping the convention
together little longer. For example:
Was Thomas jefferson a foe to pure democ-
racy? Was John Quincy Adams opposed to the
Monroe Doctrine? We're Andrew Jackson and
Henry Clay both traitors to the Republic: was
Daniel Webster ignorant Of the meaning OF the
Constitution: Were William l.. Marcy and
William II. Seward FOOLS
Unless this Ant-Imperialist Convention wants
10 stullfy itself it would better unanimously
instruct It's secretary 10 cast the vote or the
convention mem. con-. in the affirmative on each
and all of these questions.
