PUBLIC OPINION.

Shreveport Progress: War now
exists between the United States
and Spain; due to Spanish treachery
and Spanish cruelty. Had the
Maine not been blown up and 266
of her crew murdered, we firmly
believe that the two Nations would
have been at peace to-day.

cognixe the independence of Cuba

island is and ought to be free.

confidence and loyalty of his men.
Gen. Gordon is entitled to every
consideration. He is the peer Of
Fitzhugb Lee or any other man in
the country mentioned for a high
command in the army.
Times Democrat: When the
Times a few days ago
suggested Gen. J. B. Gordon for a
Major Generalship, we did it with a
purpose, knowing that men like him,
of courage and promptness, were
the class of men needed to admins
ter our war affairs just now. Gen.
Gordon, we were reliably informed,
would be willing to accept the post,
and would march at once on Cuba,
and that is what we need. A little
mole vigor and less discussion,
planning and strategy, which seems
to please Gen. Miles, is what we re-
quire at this juncture. 1t ought to
take US a very short time to wind
up the Spaniards, and our slowness
in acting is actually giving the Dons
fresh courage. Let's have an end
of it.

HOME AGAIN.

To the cold and unimpassioned
sense of reason there seems nothing
50 unimPortant in the world as the
spot in which mans body shall be
buried when he is dead. When
life and knowledge have gone away,
when the busy brain shall throb
no longer with love and longing,
what matters it where the senseless
clay shall lie7 What does it matter
whether alien skies arch above a
lonely tomb, or the fierce winds of
the desert pile its sands above
forgotten grave7 What matters it
whether the crimson rain of the
pomegranate of the south drifts
across it, or the pale star-eyed
daisies on some sweet New England
hillside keep watch above the un-
knowing dust. Strange and mex
Plicable is the impulse of the human
heart that makes US all turn, when
the end of life is near, to the spot
where we were born. Men who
have wandered over the whole earth,
and who have sickened and died in
foreign lands, have begged with
their last breath that their bones
might be carried back to some quiet
country churchyard. Adventures
of fortune, who left their old homes
when boys and never went back,
have raved in delirium of the COOL
ing waters of some babbling brook,
and dreamed that there might be
peace and rest if they could only
stretch themselves beside it once
more. At the last memory reaches
out a thousand silken cords and
draws us back home again. We
are like tired and homesick child
rem, crying in the dusk for our
mother, and feeling that if we might
only be graded once more on the
breast that bore us the last long.
long, sleep must needs be more
peaceful and sweeter. 1t is an i,u-
pulse that knows no graduation of
rank or circumstance, but is as COM
monas the heart .throb of humanity.
The other day the papers told how
the gifted writer, Edward Bellamy,
whose prophetic vision looked away
into a millennium, was being taken
back home to die. Out in Colo
RADIO, where he vainly sought life ON
the mountain top, his eyes turned
no longer towards a fair and ra-
diant future. He could only look
backward to the old Massachusetts,
home where he was born, and yearn
once more to lie within its shelter
ing arms. Not long ago, in a
neighboring state, poorly-dressed
and haggard man was noticed slow
ly wheeling a push cart along
little, struggling village street.
Within the rude wagon was
faded quilt, and on it laid some
thing covered carefully with sheet.
A curious passer-by asked the man
what the object was, to which he
returned no reply, but went on his
weary way. BY and by an idle
crowd gathered about the cart;
rough gibes and questions were
hurled at the man: and vulgar Curl
osity demanded of him the name of
the thing he wheeled with such care
and gentleness. At last, in despair,
the man turned back the sheet, and
showed the livid face of dead wo-
man. 1t was his wife, he said.
She had been reared in the next
county. They had left their old
home, had gone west and had not
prospered, and were tramping back
when she died. She had begged
that she might not be left forsaken
in some lonely graveyard, and he
was keeping his pathetic covenant
with the dead, as best he might. 1t
was the universal instinct of the

Advocate strenuously opposed the
needless rush of the jingoes in the
direction of war 50 long as such
opposition had any chance of af-
fecting or in any manner influencing
the public mind. When in spite of
all the efolts of the advocates of a
wise and honorable peace the Con-
gress adopted the resolutions which
were In effect a declaration of war,
the Advocate accepted the situation
and ceased opposition which could
then only result in weakening the
patriotism of the people and foment-
ing d,ssensions among people who
ought to be united in the face of
war. War is now upon us and
while the Advocate is glad to say
it had no part nor lot in bringing it
on, yet we now believe it to be the
duty of every true man to give all
the support at this command to his
country. In the face of the foe
no man can afford to falter in his
fealty to his flag, and he is not
true American who would now
weaken the hands of his government
in the great crisis now upon US.
So long as there was hope for peace
with honor the Advocate strenuous
ly urged an adjustm ent along such
lines; but now that the tocsin Of
war has sounded the Advocate takes
its stand on the side of those who
would defend the country's flag,
and not with those who howl for
war in times of peace, and then
denounce the government in times
of war. The administration needs
all the support it can get in these
troublous times, and after the war
closes will be times enough to dis
cuss and adjust old grievances.
Baton Rouge Truth: If the
young men who are ready to shed
their uniforms are legitimate: SUBJ
jects of ridicule, let it be from the
lips of those who gave proof of
their readiness to serve their coun-
try by volunteering their services
when called upon do so, but COM
mon decency demands that those
who could not be pulled into the
ranks of the army with yoke of
oxen should remain silen: as to the
reluctance of others to go forth.
But what breaks US more complete
ly than anything else is to hear old
men condemning young ones for
not being willing to fight the battles
of the country when those same old
men sought safe places when the
invader was parading all over the
land and burning, destroying and
killing.

However, many of our most en-

be detrimental to their progress, as

AFFAIRS IN CHINA.

Advices from China are meager, but
they are sufficient to show that the vast
empire is convulsed by revolutions. The
edict of the Emperor announcing that the
Empress Dowager, whose power has been
felt in the rule of several Emperors, has
been called to advise him, is in the nature
of an abdicaton. He is the nephew of the
Empress, whose policy he has not always
accepted. The dismissal of Ii Hung Chang
from the office of prime minister by the
Emperor is said to have been taken by the
Empress as an affront. Now the faction
which she represents seems to be so power
full that the Emperor has practically abdi-
Gated, leaving the Empress to restore her
favorite to his old place of power. He was
dismissed, it is asserted, at the request of
the British government because he has in
trigued with Russia. If this is the case,
Russias man is again in power, and this
fact causes much anxiety in England. 1t is
held by those who are best informed that
China is in so disturbed a condition that the
present dynasty cannot maintain itself with
out the assistance of some influential Eu-
ropean power. The dispute is whether Rus

AT first sight tuberculosis in birds appears
very different from that in human beings
and cattle. Late researches by a French
bacteriologist. NJ Nocard, show that while
human tuberole and bird tubeIce have diff
ferent effects upon guinea pigs and rab-
bits, both the LESSONS produced and the
cultures obtained become similar after the
NEGOTIATIONS have been passed through a
series of animals. Medical men recognize
two types of tuberculosis-the pulmonary
and the abdominal. NJ. Nocard has now
been able to show that these two forms an
swer to the two different origins of the
tubercle bacillus, the pulmonary form be-
ing set up by the bacillus of human tubercle
and the abdominal form by the bird va
rlety. Birds are not directly infected with
tuberculosis from human beings or cattle.
while most animals are little susceptible to
bird tubercle. yet the eating of tubercu-
lOuS poultry appears to be not wholly with
out danger.
