One of the wholesome effects of
the war with Spain is the small at
tention which the Confederates'
Union at Atlanta this week has at
tracted. Not that the proceedings
were not interesting, or that any
unworthy utterances marked the
gathering. But heretofore the an
nual conventions of this body have
been followed chiefly for the politi-
cal advantage to be gained from un-
guarded remarks of some of the
participants. Such remarks could
now be made and they would pass
unnoticed. Any politician or news
paper that should attempt TO make
partisan capital out of them would
only meet with derision for his pains.
It will be interesting to note the
softening influence the present war
will exert upon the next annual
gathering of the G. A. R. Annual
conventions of this organization
have frequently been marked By in
temperate utteranCes toward the
south, but 1t is safe to say that the
country has heard the last of such
appeals to sectional feeling.

We had the pleasure of meeting
Mr.. Ed Medray of the WaukOn
Iowa) Democrat Yesterday. He is
on his way to Port Arthur and will
write his impressions of the country
he traverses for his paper. He
stopped off here for a day and being
an Elk, was taken in charge by W.
H. Winfield and shown every
courtesy of the order and made ac-
quainted with our people. Mr..
Winfield treated him so nicely that
we are satisfied he left here with a
good impression of our city and will
give us a send-off in his paper.

Every day that the war is pro.
longed finds Cuba more and more 10
need Of American goods Every
section of the island that falls under
American jurisdiction offers a new
opportunity for trade. When peace
comes, aud it cannot be long delay,
the influx Of supplies into the de-
plsted Spanish territory means
quick millions Of trade. As for trade
at home, the conditions were never
more favorable.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1898-07-28

One thing our government has
not overlooked, it seems, from the
rush of preparations to get the
Porto Rico expedition started and
Watson on his way 20 Spain, is that
the sooner the war is ended the
more chance there will be for a cash
indemnity from Spain. The outlook
for ready cash from Spain is bad
enough, and the longer her people
have to spend money in their fruit.
less war, certainly the less they will
have on hand for us.

STATE LINE AVENUE

This thoroughfare of ours, one of
the finest in the city and one of the
most prominent streets, is about as
bad kept as any streetin the city.
We believe ifa committee of our
most prominent citizens, would get
together and ask the government
to make a small appropriation,
backed by a good contribution from
the property owners on the avenue,
aud an appropriation from the East
and West Side city councils that
enough could be raised in this man-
ner to grade and gravel and place
down concrete walks from the
union depot to the post Office. If
the right kind of showing is made
to the Iron Mountain, T. Il p. and
Cotton Belt and perhaps the Pee
Gee, we believe they will each give
something towards improving the
street, Let us make an effort in
this direction and see what can be
raised and then ask our natioua.

The Philippines have an area Of
12O, 900 square miles, and less than
one-fourth of the soil is titled.
There are only 1870 miles Of railway

roads outside the towns. 1t is time
that some civilized nation should
take possession of the islands.

There is not a newspaper in the

Soldiers Sing, God Save theQueen.

In Tampa, Fla, the other day
American soldiers did a thing that
would have raised a protest year
ago. They joined in singing, God
Save the Queen in honor of Victo-
rias birthday. 1t is really aston
ishing how sentiment has changed
since England has openly sympa-
thized with the United States in our
war with Spain. Radical changes
in the relations of nations are no
more wonderful, however, than the
marked changes in individuals who
are restored to health by that great
medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bit

people who are thin, weakly and all
run down to show a marked i'm

THIS IS THE SOLDIERS SIDE OF THE STORY
Stupidity Shown at Montauk in Trying to Organize a Camp by Red
Tape and Telegraph While Sick Heroes Suffer Untold Hardships.
Slept on the Bare Earth While Useless Labor Was in Progress.

While the men at the head of affairs
have been busy writing letters, whose
purpose 1t a to quiet an outraged
public. because Of the treatment accord
ed our soldiers. the soldier himself has
said nothing. but his feelings have been
the more intense for his restraint, and
his Indignation at what he considers off,
cial red-tape, official stupidity. and off,
cial indifference. is deep and bitter. IT
Is no exaggeration of the situation TO
say that the United States will muster
from its service this fail almost 200. 900
men who are incensed to the last de-
gree.
There are certain questions the soldier
is asking himself. For instance, he
wants to know why, after having en-
dured the h%ardships Of the Cuban cam
paign from which he returned sick,
worn, and wounded, he found no camps
prepared where he might go and recup-
crate; why, as the shortest way to be
rid Of them many of his comrades
