THE BATTLE FLAGS.

The proposition is now widely debated
to return the Confederate battle flags
held in Northern State armories and at
Washington, to the Southern States
from commands of which they were
taken in the war of the rebellion. This
is generally favored throughout the
Northern States. So far, from the
South there has been but one dissenting
voice heard The Charleston News
and Courier" thinks it is too late now
to make the transfers It says:
It is too late now to think of return
ing the battle flags. Let them stay
where they are, where they will illus
trate forever the vaIor of the men who
fought under their tattered and blood
stained folds, and where they will also
serve to show the spirit of those who
kept them when their return would re-
ally have meant something of brother
ly regard and true national spirit.
This is i'll tempered The flags are
not held now as evidences of victory
but rather as mementoes of one of the
most gigantic struggles of all history.
4u6I6 COd1u DC HO liIIlC ilOIe III, We
take it. than the present, when North
and South are once more shoulder to
shoulder for the one banner of the ma
ton, to place these relics of an inter
necine war in the archives of the sew
eral States whence they came.
The transfer would not be regarded
as an act of magnanimity, nor as con-
cession, nor yet as reviving memories
of an unhappy period. On the contra
ry, it would be simply a transfer Of rel
les to the historical collections of the
States where they properly belong.
The battle flags captured by our
Southern brethren from Union COM
mands, in the same spirit should be re-
turned to their homes, and thus each
State will come into possession of relics
identified with the most trying times in
its history. We cannot understand
why there should be a single voice OF
opposition heard to the plan OF transfer.

press Of the country. The cry with
them is that "the Latin races must
stand together '' One thing is signifi-
cant, however, that the French press
has charged the public mind with false
impressions, Our reasons for going to
war with Spain are uniformly mis-
stated; our actions on sea and land are
distorted, and our legislation is mis-
interpreted. We are represented as
cruel. ambitious, prosecuting and un-
just, and our invasion of Cuba is treat
ed as an attempt to wrest colony from
Spain for mereenary purposes. Per-
haps when the French learn the truth
there will be a turn in the sentimental
tide. Through all this, however, the
French Government maintains an am
icable attitude and is kept busy deny
ing to our Government stories that it
is acting in an unfriendly manner, or
is conspiring with Spain against US.

DEWEY AND HIS VICTORY.

Under the international law OF neu-

dore Dewey to withdraw from the port

Commander of our Asiadc squadron

remembered the Maine, and not forget
ting his orders he fell upon the Philip
pines by Sunday mornings dawn, upon

Manila, upon the batteries which pro-
tected the heights Of Cavite, fell upon
them In the spirit of the Eagles Sun

make note Of the victory. 1t was ali

conquest in its mighty roar. no selfish
ambition in it's terrific flame; there was
no incentive of reward in its irresistible
onslaught, only the benevolence and

And the nomination of Mr.. Stanley
would be a great thing for the Re

He would fire the entire state with his
enthusiasm, raIlying its hosts with his

the deranged ranks Of demented Pop

moralizing and scattering force Of a
Kansas twister, holding steadily and
aloft the banner Of the old party of
freedom-of Grant and Lincoln and
