mously reelected COMMANDMENTS

In taking the chair Gen. Gordon said:
eve are all Confederate soldiers,
we are all Confederate men and
women, but we are also Americans
and love our country. God has
blessed us as He has blessed no other
nation. 1t becomes us who have
been spared by His providence to

Lee, of Mississippi, is chairman, the
following patriotic American spirit
which has pervaded the whole coun-

country is engaged our comrades
now living and the descendants of

SPANIARDS CHEERED THE FLAG.

An unusual and peculiar spectacle
was witnessed in Brooklyn last Sun
day when Spanish prisoners of war
cheered the flag under which they
were held captive. An account says
the 25O men captured on four prize
vessels now in port We're about to
sail for home under the British flag.
Just as the Hesperia backed out of
the dock with the Spaniards on board
one of the patrol boats passed flying
the United States flag. With one
accord they raised three mighty
cheers for the Stars and Stripes,
which was the best they could do in
thanking Uncle Sam for the kindness
lavished on them while they were
| prisoners.
Among the 254 prisoners were six
officers. One of them in speaking
about the war said:
If our men in the field realized
either the hopelessness of our cause
or the treatment they would get al
the hands of the Americans they
would not fight long. The quickest
and easiest way to reach home is t'
surrender. believe in fighting wher,
there is a chance, but our blockadeC
soldiers don't know we haven't ;
chance. They can get home quicker
by surrendering and in the meantime
be well fed and taken care of. Blu
they think the Americans will muir
der them"

A MINlsTER'ssTR POSITION.

Of all men who should say aught
against the practice of kindness and
civility whether such treatment be
directed toward Spanish prisoners Of
war or others, minister OF the
Gospel it occurs to us should be the
last one to offer objection. For one
who processes to preach and teach
in His name to inveigh against treat
inc Admiral Cervera and the officers
and men captured with him a be-
comes a civilized and Christian nation
is astounding.
And vet that is what the Rev.
John Edwards, pastor Of a church at
Annapolis, Md, did Sunday before
last He protested against the cour-
teries and attentions bestowed upon
these Spaniards and would deprive
them Of every comfort and luxury
which much to his displeasure they
seem to be enjoying. The Rev.
John Edwards did not say as much
but we take it that if he had his way
he would put every mothers son in
a dungeon dark, and damp, and Kill
them by degrees on diet OF bread
and water.
However. it is possible that the
hoe he
would have us believe and this is
but shrewd attempt on his part to
get himself talked about and secure
notoriety by the sensation route.
But such mOuntebanks do not
deserve to have their dOings recorded
or their utterances repeated. Com
menting on the strange position
taken by the Annapolis parson the
Wilson Adrance says:
Here is the full blaze of the nine
teenth century, among the American
people, is found a man who is not
willing that a prisoner Of war should
| be treated with courtesy and respect.
Can it be possible that
| there should be so much as a doubt,
even, as how we are to treat a brave
and generous foe? Are we not a.
far advanced in civilization as the
| Spaniards? A doubt never entered
| Cervera's MIND as to how to treat
| HobsOn and his crew. On the con
trary he Immediately sent a message
to the American commander that
they should be treated with all possible
respect, and Hobson reports thai
| they were so treated.
Can there then be any question
about the treatment Cervera is tt
receive here? He deserves the best
and no generous minded man cal
| even think of an vthinr else

IDEAL HEROES.

The Atlanta Journul, on the oc-
casion of the Confederate Eetrans
reunion in that city last week, took
occasion to pay the following hand
some and merited tribute to the men
who followed the flag of the Con-
federacy:
There has never been a higher
illustration of the virtues which
make men truly noble than that
which was given by the men who
followed the flag of the Confederacy.
The survivors of that matchless army
are dwindling in numbers every
year At each reunion many who
were at the last one are sadly missed.
But as time rolls by our love for
these heroes loses none of its ten
derness and strength. They are to
us ideal heroes and we teach our
children that the badge of a Con-
federate veteran is as glorious an
emblem as ever tluttcred on the
breast of man.
God bless the old heroes. God
spare them long to enjoy the graft
tude of the men, the women and the
children of this generation for whom
they made proud history and to
whom they will leave the legacy of q
fame as bright and pure as any tina,
can be found in the annals of man
kind.

THE more we study the character
and achievements of Admiral Dewey
the more remarkable he appears.
He is not only a great admiral but an
able diplomat withal readily adapting
himself to circumstances as they
arise and making the most of them.
He has wanted less of the Govern
ment and done more for it with the
means at his command than any man
the present war has developed so
far.
