The Confederate Veteran is just now
an important person in the estimation
OF Northern editors and Southern blow
hards. In the case of war with Spain
these rampant writer's appear to lean
heavily on the soldiers of the Southern
States. This thing Of trotting the old
Confederates to the front every time
there is trouble between the U. S. and
foreign country may tickle the conceit
of some of the class referred to, but
to most of them it is growing decidedly
monotonons. Should the time ever
come, which God forbid, for them to go
to the front, they will go and they will
do their full duty but in the meantime
they will not lose their heads. But
they are loyal to the flag and jealous OF
the national honor. They are too old,
as a general thing, to perform active
service. therefore the younger genera
tIon must be considered the main stay
and support of the country in tie event
of hostlities. The veterans can now
say what was said to them in 1861: ',Old
men for counsel /; young men for action
Give the old Confederates a rest They
will be heard fIom at the proper time
