1t Ia a pity that some Of the worthy
veterans of the Civil War, who are
men OF high principle. and heartily
condemn ordinary fraud, should feel
that the demand to investigate the
validity OF questionable pensions i'm
plies hostility to the old soldiers, and
TO the pension system. 1t is well
known that thousands Of persons are
drawing pensions who have no right
to them. either under the law or under
any theory of the country's duty to its
defenders. The old soldiers owe it to
their sense OF right, and to the honor
of all patriotic men who deserve to re.
ceive pensions, to advocate and even
demand that the names Of these I'M
worthy recipients Of money should be
struck from the pension list.

On the broad canvas needed in paint
ing the life of Prince Bismarck, no in
conspicuous place must be given to the
outlines OF the welded years. nearly
fifty in number, wherein this man OF
iron showed the finer scnsibilities. The
death OF the devoted wife shortened
the days Of him who seemed to deal so
lightly in the question of life and death
for whole Kingdoms. We follow him
through scenes in court and camp as
one might watch the course Of planet,
but he comes near to all classes and
conditions OF men In exhibiting the
affection which makes home the chiAf
spot on earth. To many heart the
tears the husband shed when his dear

more service in interpreting the illus
trious life now closed than all the tri-
umphs OF diplomacy accomplished by
his infiexible will and overmastering
domination OF men.

In Pando's boast that he could take
Florida the comic side is the side
which strikes the average person first
but it has q pathetic aspect also. II
shows that the Bourbonish blindness
and ignorance of the typical Spaniard
is as dense to-day as it was three
centuries ago. Since Phillip u.'s
days Spain has, at one time and an
other, fought almost every nation of
Europe and America, great and small,
and has been beaten by all of them.
The average SpaDiard, apparently,
thinks all those wars were victories
for his country. The loss Of her do
main IN Europe and her empire in
America by successful revolts against
her authority teaches nothing to the
Spaniard of to-day about the chronic
fecbleness and incapacity of his coun-
try. This particular Spaniard, Pando,
has been beaten by Maceo, Garcia,
Come and every other Cuban Cen
eral who has ever reached him.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1898-05-12

The reason why Spain has been
keeping Its best soldiers at home is
now plain. The Ministry saw that
disturbances throughout the country
were sure to come when the first
news OF Spanish defeat hy the Aneri-
cans arrived. All over Spain riots
grow into revOlts, and some of them
may become a revolution. This is
why the troops are kept in readiness
at all the principal cities in Spain 10
suppress nprisings. 1t is also the
reason why martial law has been
proclaimed in several provinces. All
this shows Spain's madness in refus-
ing to get out Of Cuba when reques-
ted to do SO by the United States be-
fore the ultimatum was sent to her.
Spain would have lost Cuba Ouly if
she had taken the United States ad-
vice a month or two ago. Now she
will loose the Philippines and Porto
Rico in addition to Cuba, and stands
a chance to be driven out of the
Canaries also. This is characteristic
Spanish stupidity. but it deserves nt'
pity, and will receive none except in
certain circles in France, Germany
and Austria.

The Identification Of Our Soldiers.

A new plan hos been adopted for
identifying the men in the regular
and volunteer Uninted States armies
who may go into action. They will
wear around their necks little tags OF
aluminium, by which they may be
identified if found on the field OF bat
tie. In the last war it was often i'm
possible to properly identify the dead
soldiers, and thousands were buried
in graves marked "unidentified.'
The War Department has prepared
this system of indentlficatiOn, and
each tag will bear the numeral as
signed each man on the muster rolls
with the letter Of his company, bat
tery or troop and his regiment.-Ex.

II will be easy for the United
Ststes to land troops at any point on
the Cuban coast. No forts on the
island could stand fire from
Samps0n's fleet longer than fifteen
minuets, except those at Havana, and
undoubtedly the Havana defenses
could be knocked down in an hour
at the farthest. The landing will be
easy, and within three days after the
American troops 60 ashore the ill.,
surgents are likely to he fully equip
ed with guns and ammunition, and be
starting on the warpath after the
Spaniards. The Spanish soldiers
who will be outside of Havana a
week from this time will have u hard
race to get into that city. They
grasp this truth, too, for Pando's re-
treat on Havana means general
