Let tho Flags Be Returned.

Again the proposition is made that
the captured Confederate battle flags
no returned, and this time it is meeting
with a cordial and general support
that was sadly lacking when the idea
was advanced by President Cleveland
several years ago. But great change
in public sentiment has taken place
| since then. The loyalty of the South
demonstrated in a manner that is in
| expressiby gratifying Southern men
are volunteering by scores of thousands
and if there should be even third call
for troops the South again will respond
with alacrity. The first American Off
Ger who gave up his life in this war
was a native of North Carolina. Two
gallant Confederate officers, Lee and
| Wheeler. have donned the blue as
major generals and are ready for ser-
vice, and some of the most gallant of
Deweys men hail from the South. as
does "Fighting Bob" Evans, who is a
native of Virginia. though he fought
on the Northern side during the Rebel
lion, receiving a wound in the leg which
divests him of the grace of dancing
master when he walks. Many of the
leaders of army and navy as well as in
the volunteers are Southern men. and
ic.i inn ,,1 ~,
enthusiastic patriotism that the North
cannot excel.
The present proposition to restore the
rebel flags originated in Ohio and was
quickly taken up by Governor Bush
nell and Senator Foraker who bitterly
opposed the idea a few years ago. In
the presence of existing facts says
Mr. Foraker, I'VE can well afford to
turn our backs on all but the lessons of
the past and blotting out the btter
memory of estrangement and strife,
press forward to the future With a
common confidence and pride in the
destiny that awaits us"
The present war mas wiped out the
last vestige of sectional anmosty.
The gulf between the North and South
has been filled forever. The stars in
the flag all shine with equal uster. a
luster that grows brighter through the
years. If it will cement the friendship
between the sections let the old flags
be returned by all means. Now is the
time to do it. The rebel flag is now
dear to the hearts of Southern people
for the lives which We're given in its
defense. not for what it sgnified. The
South is loyal to the flag of the re-
united Union. but the traditions and
associations of the old flags under
which it marched and was conquered
make them sacred fabric. Let the
flags be sent back to the South No
other nation could be great and strong
enough to do SO magnanimous an act,
but let this country teach the world
one more lesson. From every part Of
the land comes a voice in favor of this
proposition. Let the voice of Maine be
hearty and prompt.

Hospitals AHoat.

The present conflict With Spain is
bringing many things to the front in
the line of Wagng war. and not the
least among these are the humane
achievements for the suceor Of those
who fall in battle. a floating hospital

but our government has at least one

company fleet of fighters and DO al
most as good service at the front as if
they were stationed ashore for army
service. This is certainly the first
achievement of its kind in naval his

the Geneva convention the Solace or

her Red Cross flag without fear on the
high seas when on her missions Of
mercy to comfort the wounded, the
sick and the dying.
While the battle RACES this ship Will

for the embalming of bodies, after

Our REGIMENTS Start Tor chickamauga.

The realization that actual war exists
was Yesterday brought home to Maine,
and especially to it's Capital more
keenly than at any previous time since
the present complicatio tons with Spain
arose. 1t was one thing to have our
young men answer the call for volun-
| teers, to have them assemble in camp
| at Augusta and be mustered into gov
eminent service. and quite anothe:
| thing to have them embark on the
| trains that are to bear them hundreds
of miles away where they will join the
army, scores of thousands strong.
sworn to defend the flag we love. The
heavy rain that prevailed all day pre-
vented any elaborate demonstration in
honor of their departure. but from the
time they marched from Post Powers
until the trains carried them beyond
| the State borders there were cheering
thousands whose presence inspired
them, and who from their hearts
wished them Godspeed and safe re-
turn.
1t is a SOLDERING thought that of the
1000 sturdy young sons of Maine who
form the regiment now on its way to
Chickamauga, that is little likelihood
that all will return as they left us.
The chances of war, with the sickness
in the camp and the death call in the
battle, make us who are left behind
realize as every man in uniform real
demanded Of one or many of them.
But Maine is glad that the regiment is
on its way to the front. 1t was inn
patient for its marching orders, after
nearly month of preparation, and was
eager for the honor and the glory that
is implied in going to the front" M
regiment will reach ChickamauGa
more fully equipped, better drilled, and
in every way better prepared for hard
service than ours, and this makes the
chances strong that it will so to Cuba
among the first when the invasion is
actually undertaken.
The honor of Maine is safe III the
hands of this regiment, hereafter to
be officially known as the 7ith L. S.
Volunteer infantry. II will do its duty
wherever placed, as Maine soldiers
have always done. 1t is a superby
otlicered and magnidccntly composed
body of brave and sturdy young men.
The whole proud State will watch Its
career with loving hearts. With the
tears that must flow on a day like yes
terday, there were the ringing cheers
that showed we honOred and loved our
heroes. Thousands of hearts are sore
and sad today. but all are proud their
boys are in the service of the country.
May the God of Battles deal kindly
With the soldiers from Maine. May the
second call be answered as promptly
and we'll az the first has been.
