THE CONFEDERATE FLAGS

From the Galveston News.
The desire of northern people to return
confederate flags to the south means there
was some definite reason for holding them
all this time and that this reason no longer
exists There is but one deep significance
to trophies of war and that Is the evidence
of conquest and the memory that is Kept
green thereby.
At the bottom of this sentiment is an IN
tended humiliation of the vanquished inns
attitude was maintained in no openly insult
ing or boasting spirit in the main, true,
but still as a reminder of the superiority of
the union If not of the victorious deIend-
ere of it, Here and there since the civil
war was brought to an end the captorS VI
southern colors have laid aside all memory
of the past and returned some OF the tro-
phies to their southern friends. Ihe cor
respondence accompanying these transfers
has breathed the highest sentiments Oh
brotherhood. But enough of the emoiems
of a lost cause have been held to empha-
size the theoretical temper at least Oh the
victors Suddenly times have changed and
If is the northern man who feels 1t Is ne
who is Inundated by keeping be1ore MS
ewes any sign of divided people and any
sign of divided people and any evidence
of "a family broil
= This must be the explanation of the spon-
taneous movement to obliterate tokens OF
sectional rancor and remove from sight any
reminder of unpleasant things In such
a sense the south may accept the tender
and close the incident. The wounds made
by the civil war have been healed in the
camps of the nation as her people from
north and south vie with each other to
cluster again under a common flag in face
of a common enemy. There are no bitter
memories any longer By sudden, I'M
seen, Irresistible power the nations man
hood has risen above its human selfhood
and come together in defense of home and
flag IF only to finish the work of ster-
ilizing all unhappy memories of the past
the flag should be gladly returned and
gladly welcomed back
Then in due time the trophies of Spanish
conquest will north and south take the
nlaces of similar mementoes of other days,
and serve to change the story so natural to
be told by the war-scarred veteran to the
child sitting all attention on his knee

Mr.. BaiIeY,s Constitutional Objections

Mr.. Bailey is brilliant, brave and con-
scientious leader on the floor of the house of
representatives. The Age-Herald honors
his efforts In behalf of good government,
and respects his determination to uphold
the constitution; but it must be permitted
20 say to him that he is trif1e too solicit
Gus as to General Wheeler's constituents
in the Eighth Alabama district. Not COM
plant has come from the district as to nom
representation. Not an interest in the dis
temporary absence of General Wheeler Not
petition goes unpresented. Not bill or
an appropriation is uncared for. Mr.. Bailey
may or may not be right so far as an abb
stract constitutional question is involved
but he is not right when he says the dis
trict needs representation. General Wheeler
has attended to the district interests in
every way, and whatever comes up will be
well and carefully looked after.
The session is supposedly drawing to a
close, and so is the. war. General Wheeler
may not be long out of his seat in the
house. 1t is reasonable to assume that he
will have rendered the government splen-
did service as a cavalry leader before the
short session Is assembled next December.
''There is not" said Representative Benton
McMillin, ga member of the house who does
not love the gentleman from Alabama for
going to the front to serve his country
The case is exceptional General Wheeler
did not seek a commission. The war is not
a great war. 1t will doubtless be ended
soon. Why then should not General Wheel
er be permitted to retain his seat, just as
General Sickles did? The latter was an
officer of the army drawing pay on the re-
tired list, and he was elected to congress.
and congress reviewed the question, decid-
ing that the New Yorker could serve and
draw pay at one time in both military
and a civil office.

The Seize of Santiago.

In spite of censors and all other forms of
secrecy it is now plain even to the way
farer that the seige of Santiago harbor
and city has been begun, and that the job
will be carried on to a finish, whether it
takes a day or month year. All
spare available warships are there on
the way to the scene of war, and the troops
that were carried out of Tampa on Tuesday
are beyond doubt bound for the same
place. Santiago in itself is not highly
desirable, but its Spanish garrison may as
well be whipped now as at some future
time, and it is especially important to cap
ture, or at least to destroy, the Spanish
fleet in the hill-bound sharbor The fol-
lowing paragraph concisely describes the
scene of hostilites:
If you will conceive yourself in ship
at the entrance to Santiago harbor, be-
fore you would lie narrow channel $50
yards wide. over which on either side
frowning cliffs tower. You are facing
north; on the right is Moro castle. 1t Is
perched on a rocky hill and has formida-
Bile appearance with it's large guns grimly
peering through embrazures in the concrete
walls. Beside it are several inferior bat
teries. On the left of the channel on the
puntilla or little point Is the strong La
Socapa battery. Next is passed an island;
the bay widens for over a mile and there
appears another channel broader than the
one at Moro castle. Passing this you
enter the inner harbor and the city is seen
few miles up to the right with its long
line of low white houses giittering against
the dark and jagged Sierra Maestro hills.
which shut it from the province and form
a circle around it. These hills are of lime
stone formation and are barren of verdure.
Their appearance IS, therefore. wild and
gloomy. Santiago being situated in hot
basin. low and moist, is favored spot
for tlfc breeding of malignant fevers 1t
is the most unhealthy spot In Cuba or pos
sbly In the entire West indies. Yellow
people, has famous cathedral and a pub
lie library, and would be a resort for tour
lists on account of its picturesque surround
ings and ancient associations except for its
unhealthfulness. The bay is very deep,
from five to fifty fathoms, to within two
miles of the city; at this point it becomes
shallow and the city is difficult OF APP
proach by vessels of deep draught.
The Spanish ships in the harbor In
a dozen, and four of them are cruisers of
the first class. In the city and neigh
'-sor1lood are perhaps $1,000 Spanish regulars,
well hardened to the climate and to the
service. 1t will thus be seen that the
American troops and ships have no holiday
task The best feature of the case consists
in the fact that, while there may be con-
siderable hll-climbing and arduous plant
ing of guns Involved. no long marches
under hot suns will be demanded. The

Second Call EnIistments.

An Associated Press dispatch purport'ng
to give the views of the war department.
says:
Some of the s ate governors in their COM
munications with the war department have
manifested decided opposition to filling
up existing regiments, preferring to recruit
entirely new Organizations; and in SINE
of these cases 1t is likely the department
may yield, although no one will make any
official statement to that effect. There is a
disposition on the part of the war DEPART
ment to avoid any unseeming wrangle over
the matter, but instead to yield a point
for the sake of appearances. Ample au-
thorty, 1t Is said, exists under the voun-
teer act for the war department to procef
on it's own responsibility without asking the
government to assist in that work.
Assuming that this dispatch correctly
presents the views and probabla action of
the war department The Age-Herald urges
the state authorities and Alabama's repre-
sentatives in congress to at once take steps
to secure an authorization of two new
regiments in this state The quota of the
| state, beyond the Second regiment, is just
enough to fill two regiments of minimum
strength One would be made up of coored
men under white officers carefully selected.
and the other would be regiment SINH ar
to the two already organized.
The subject is one that involves the fair
name of the state in the Spanish-American
war. and The Age-Herald urges sharp and
| united action in the matter No one desires
the general government to proceed ION its
ozvn responsibility" in the work of gather
ing Alabama recruits, for this means con-
| scrlption in some form. The state au-
thorities are wholly competent to carry out
the work If they can gain permission to
conduct 1t on the lines of the first call
! This should be granted. all things consider
| cd and It will be granted If the facts ard
| circumstances are fully explained and en-
| phasized by the states representatives.

THE BLOOD TooMBs DRANK

From the Argonaut.
Before the war of the rebellion, General
Bob" Toombs declared that he would
drink all the blood that was spilled in the
conflict After the close of the war, the
general was surrounded by friends one day
in an Atlantic hotel, and as usual was
holding everybody entranced by his brill
liant conversation. An ex-confederate sol-
der was in the group. He had heard the
speech about drinking all the blood. etc.,
and straightway he brought 1t up. Gen
eral Toombs, didn't 1 hear you say you
would drink all the blood that would be
shed between the north and south?"
''Well, d-n it, suppose 1 did; what have
you got to say?" "Only this. general that
you were quite rght-you meant you would
drink all that you shed yourself"

The Volunteer Is the Best

From the Talladega Mountain Home.
1t is a mistake to suppose the regular
superior to the volunteer as a fighter, pro-
vided the latter has had a little training,
as. witness, the civil war. The south had
no regulars, yet review of the battle or
Bull Run and many another field will place
the volunteer in glorious light and picture
him the warrior of the two; besides, con-
federate veterans say the best fighters they
antagonized were northern volunteers.

whole story of the seige will turn upon
the success of the fleet in silencing the bat
