TWO WARS.

The war with Spain lasted lO7 davs
and is now practically over. II has
added brilliant chapter to the history
OF this nation, and IL has served To en-
Tighten the present generation with
the magnitude, the heroism and the
sacrifices made during the Civil war.
Michigan alone sent into the field dur
ing the Rebellion nearly half as MANY
volunteers as were called for in the
present conflict. The country sorrows
over the loss of 200 brave men killed
at Santiago, In campaign that lasted
three weeks, and now it will be re-
membered that the losses in the Civil
war were greater each day over a per-
iod that lasted for months. There
were more men killed in Gen. Grants
army during the siege OF Richmond
than Gen Shafter had in his army
when he moved upon Santiago Aside
from the number killed in the Rich
mond campaign there were twice as
many wounded rs Gen. Shafter com
manded at Santiago. At Gettysburg
our loss was 300 killed and 900
wounded; at Spottsylvania, 2,725 killed
and l3,4l3 wounded; in the Wilderness.
,, 246 killed and l2,037 wounded. There
were more than dozen battles where
our losses exceeded 800 killed and
1000 wounded. Our men suffered from
heat and malaria on the sandy islands
in front of Charleston, from miasma in
the swamps Of Louisiana and about
Vicksburg, and marched under burn
ing midsummer suns thirty miles a
day to meet the enemy. Perhaps
those who have reviled the veteran of
the Civil war may now be brought TO a
realizing sense, without detraeting
from the glory OF our boys now at the
front, how infinitely greater and dead
lier was the war OF the Rebellion than
the war between the United States and
Spain which has just closed. Cold
water Courier.

orleans, Aug. 10. 1888.

Among those occupying high official
positions with the Catholic church, il
is said that the amalgamation of the
Catholic communities In Cuba, Porto
Rico and other Spanish colonies, pre-
sents no serious difficulties. The first
requisite, it is pointed out, is to termi-
nate the concordat by which Spain and
the vatican Jointly conduct the church
administration of these colonies. The
concordat is a formal agreement, some
what like treaty, by which the Span
ish government and the vatican carry
on relations OF mutual advantage.
Under the concordat the Spanish gov
eminent names the bishops to be APP
pointed in the Spanish colonies, and
these names, being sent to Rome, are
formally appointed by the pontifI
With the termination of Spanish SOW
ereignty in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Antilles, this provision for the Spanish
nomination of bishops becomes inoper-
alive, and some system must take its
place. For the present the change will
occasion no violent upheaval among
the people and clergy Of these colonies
They will be left in their places and
the change of system will be inaugur-
ated gradually as those now in service
drop off and are succeeded. The new
system will probably be that under
which the bishops are chosen in the
United States, which is by an informal
election. 1t is thought that the HER
archy OF Porto Rico will at once be-
come attached to the American church,
but there is some question as to the
status of the church in Cuba, owing to
doubt as to the exact form OF the civil
administration Of the island.
