THE REBEL YELL
Is Now the Rallying CIV Of All
American Troops.

The Baltimore Herald's Tampa
correspondent says: The Ameri-
can army has adopted the rebel yell.
The famous wsr cry of the con-
federacy is alive to-day, but it is
the boys in blue who unlimber their
vocal chords and screech like . lot
Of old "Rebs" as they dash 20 the
charge.
The Rebel Yell, Jr., is limited to
tue soldiers Of no particular section.
The men of Massachusetts, yell
just as Justly a. The men south OF
the Mason and Dixon line. In fact,
the northern troops, aud particular
ly those from New York, seem to
place great confidence in the horri-
bic screech. The roar and rousing
cheer which encouraged the boys
of '6l, who were battling for the
preservation of the union, seems to
live in memory only.
1t has been succeeded by the
b!ood-curdling yell which the wear
ers OF the ragged jacket" made
heard far above the howl Of the
shell, the roar Of the cannon or the
bark Of the musket. In 80 the old
rebel veil is heard again.
1t is NOT generally known that
yelling, when the charge is on, is
prescribed in the army regulations.
"When from 80 to so yards from
the enemy emit YELL" saith the
drill book. and the yell that fills the
air il the plain-old-fashioned Rebel
.Y- Yo-Yo --Wo-Wo! The
New Workers turn loose fearful
veil when they charge, and the Fifth
Regiment Of Maryland lets 60 an
even more dangerous howl. The
eound is nothing of the nature OF a
cheeer. 1t is a wild, unearthly
cross between . screech and a yell,
that is calculated to not only strike
terror to the enemy, but to en-
courage our own boys. The yell is
supposed to put the finishing touches
to the enemy. The Americans IN
their charge, having covered all but
about 80 yards Of the distance until
the Spanlards are reached, dash
forward from q double-quick to .
mad rush. yelling wildly, for the
triple purpose Of encouraging each
| other, confusing and terrorizing the
enemy.
There is not question of a doubt
but that the battle cry Of the Ameri-
can army is the ''Rebel yell" Of old i.
and its adoption by the boys in blue
| is q great compliment to the men
who set it to music OF bullets thirty
seven years ago.
The Fifth took to the yell most
naturally. There are men IN the
com man6 who ''sang in the choir
of '6l, and who arc delighted to
hear the revival of tue old, but
never-to- be. forgotten "melody."
Captain Lee Goldsborough, OF
Company l, says the yell, j., is the
real thing, aud is of the opinion
that it is the sweetest music" he
ever heard.
When the ''order Of the charge
is given the men start forward at .
double-quick. Then as the enemy
line is neared, the squirt begins, the
yell is given, and all is over, per.
haps. During every skirmish drill
scores of men may he seen rushing
over the hot sands against al
imaginary foe, yelling like wild
The yell i. is hopec, will prove very
effective against the Spaniards, who
by this time have heard it, and un'
derstand that it is backed up by
line of cold steel manipulated by
muscular American arms.

REGISTRATION MIS-
UNDERSTOOD.

We uOlACC uiSPoSAeioh "" S
part of certain papers in the State,
Populist and Democratic, to con-
tinually and urgently press upon
white males of voting age their al
legged duty to register under that
abominatlon of denominations, sec
ton 5 of article 1917 of the Constl-
tuition. 1t is vigorously put for
ward "that no white man who can
should fail to register in time, that
the time is short, and the oPportu-
nifty must not be neglected. !"
This is a misapprehension and
perversion of the objects and pur-
poses of the special registration
which is to close on Sept. l. Those
objects and purposes were one and
single, namely, to prevent the dis
franchisement of white citizens of
voting age by reason of their s'fail-
ure to possess the educational quail
fications prescribed by this Consti-
tuition.
No person who can read and
write, either in English or in his
native language, and who demon
strates that fact to the registrar,
can be DISTINGUISHED in this State
s'by reason of his failure to possess
the educational qualifications pre-
scribed by the Constitution" and
ex vi terminl no such person can
register under the exceptional Sec
ton 5. The third section covers
the case Of every literate, and the
fifth section is alone for the pro-
lection of llliterates, and has no
relevancy to any other class OF
persons.
1t is very wrong indeed, consider
ing the enormous iniquity and
obliquity of this abnormal fifth
section, to so far misunderstood 1t
and misconstrue it and mlsapplv it
as to crowd upon it every white
man in the State. The registrars
themselves, without being melted
thereto, should prevent the misap-
plication Of the constitutional pro-
vision by refusing registration un-
der the fifth section to such persons
as can read and write in English or
their mother tongue.
If all the white males are placed
on that special registration, the
roll will be seized upon through
out the United States as complete
and official demonstration of the
illiteracy of Louisiana. No defense
will be available against this per-
version of the truth, because the
white literates will have officially
pleaded guilty to illiteracy.
The absurdities and iniquities of
the fifth section have been exposed
at great length in the columns of
the Times Democrat aud almost
every other paper in the State.
by placing that section in the Con-
stitution, the cOnventioners who
voted for it confessed its lncapacity.
Since it is in the Constitution, 1t
should not be maynified unduly, or
swollen to elcrhantine proportions
in the sight Of all the world.
Since we cannot hide our disgrace,
let us avoid the exaggeratlon of it.

il amid the smoke OF battle you see
this flag falter.ng the rear, in imita-
tation Of the glorious deeds Of the
the past, YOU raise it on high as >
tallism IN to inspire the battle-thin-
ned ranks and advance it forward,
onward, and ever to the front till it
waves in triumph from the inner
line Of the detenses of the foe.''
Everybody applauded at the end
of the eloquent jurist's speech.
Lieutenant Colonel Grubbs. IN q
voice that betrayed his emotion,
made sn answer. 1t was short, yet
to the point. and was not without
eloquence. He said that Col. Hood
deeply regretted his inability to be
present to receive the flag in person.
Still his appreciation was the same.
In taking the flag he knew that it
would be guarded by the men to
the last, and il the time came they
would carry it to victory. The men
Of the regiment appreciated the
gift Of the ladies in this flag, and
as their spokesman be assured
them that it the flag fell within the
enemies lines, the white stripes
would not be the same color they
are now.
Loud cheers followed the receipt
of the flag, after which there was
a regimental drill.
The flag is handsome one, Of
heavy silk, with gold fringe, and
was presented mainly through the
efforts Of the following named la
dies: Mrs. w. 9. Flower, Mrs.
.. v. Richard, Mrs. Delano, Mrs.
E. T. Aerrick, Mrs. I. NJ. Burns,
and Misses Laura Porter and X.

Discharged and Arrested.

Thief River Falls, Mimi, Feb. &c.
CTimes Special AT the general term of
the district court; held at Red Lake Falls
this week, Lee ]. Barnes was convicted
of grand larceny in the first degree and
sentenced to five years at Saltwater, on
the testimony of Walter Goodbody, who
testified that he (Goodbody) planned
the robbery OF John Thievage, expecting
to get 500, but that they got only SIS.
Thievage's loss was 500. County At
torney Charles Boughten promised to
"nolle" Goodbody's indictment on the
same charge if he would testify against
Barnes. Judge Ives discharged Good
body with reprimand, but he was again
arrested last night on charge of burning
a saloon building belonging to George
Hensel about year ago.
(Goodbody was once in the employ OIL
Shaw s. Charlton at this place, and had
charge of their horses and general de-
livery.)
