AN ARr1Y OF HEROES.

It is announced that President Mckinley intends to give to Fitz- hugh Lee brigade in the event of war.
 Through Lees detention at Ha- vana by republican administra- tion and the cordial relations between him and a republican president, the country has already felt rare warming of the heart and confidence in the perpetual brotherhood of Americans.
 If Mir Mckinley is wise enough and generous enough to assign the gallant Confederate soldier to a responsible army command, he will officially announce that the civil war is over.
 He will have at his call the manhood of the South: and the response to his call will be made with the enthusiasm which creates an army of heroes. in the rival ry as to who shall do and dare the most, the North must excel all history if it is to lead the South. St. Louis Republic.

aRuRRER STAMP MEN"

Referring to visit to that town of rubber stamp fakir, the editor of the Gaylord, (Kan.,) Herald says:
 If business man of the town, or one who desires to be counted as one, sees fit to daub his note heads and envelopes with a rubber stamp and thus lead outsiders to think there is no printer in town, we can stand it if he can. Such a man as that, when he comes to die, ought to have his obituary and the usual resolutions of his lodge printed on fence board with rubber stamp And when he has baby at his house. or a party. or son or daughter gets married. a full account of the important event might be printed on a sheet of wrap ping paper and tackled upon hls front door, And when he is candidate for office he might rubber stamp himself be constable or road oyerseer or justice of the peace, as the case may be, and pin it on the bosom of his pants, and when the opposition jumped onto him and told some tough stories about him. he could just stamp another label saying it was a blamed lie, and pin that on, too. Come to think of it, there is no end of nses that a rubber stamp might be put to in the hands of an enterprising and economical man Great is the rubber stamp

AFRAID TO GO.

It is not war with Spain we so much dread. 1t would be an easy matter to subdue the proud but impecunious Dons It is the prospect of another never ending pension list that makes us shrink with horror. Pine Bluff Graphic
 Well why not enlist and be one of those on that ''never-ending pension list!" It is more than probable that those who are kick ing about that list would hardly have been willing to march out and be shot at by the good marks men and brave soldiers in the Confederate army for all the mon ey there Is in 1t.

 The News is greatly delighted at the activity displayed In preparing an ex- hibit for the Omaha Exposition There seems to be a general inquiry from all over the north as to the advantages of the southern country, and Arkansas should not be slow in taking advan- tage of it.-Newport News.
 
 The idea of reproducing the Albert Pike mansion at Omaha, as the Arkan- sas building, is a happy one, and will attract wide attention, as the name of Albert Pike is known throughout the United States as d Mason and as a literary genius, and the reproduction of this ante-bellum mansion will add new interest to the exhibit from his adopted state.

The Arkansas Gazette is mak- ing earnest pleas in favor of send ing brainy men to the state legis- lature, men of known honor and integrity who know how to make laws. This is a question of vital importance to the people. The position should be ono of honor, one that able men of wide exper fence should be proud to fill re- gardless of the meager compensa- ton paid to members. It is quite generally conceded that in most states at present positions in the legislature are sought and filled by men of little ability and exper- fence and that they early become the tools of corporation lobbyists, serving them instead of the peo- pie. As long as this is the rule the people need not complain if they have poor laws, many of them being made in the interest of corporations.

THE CATHOLICS AND SPAIN.

Archbishop John Ireland in a recent interview while at Chicago is reported as giving utterance to the following patriotic sentiment:
 No true American Catholic will talk of espousing the cause of Spain against this country because the for mer is Catholic nation. To do that is to set ones self down as traitorous- ly inclined to the teachings of his re- ligion, as well as to his country, which it is his bounden duty to defend we'll as external
 Tt is an infamous suggestion and it would seem as if it could only emanate from bitter enemy of the faith, for it is directly opposed in every way to the teachings of catholicism.
 These words were uttered in response to a question as to what he thought of the advice given by a Catholic priest in New York to his people.
 The writer hereof had the honor to serve in the same regement, the 9th Minnesota Infantry with Mir. Ireland, he being the chaplain of that regement, during the war of the rebellion and knowing him personally we know he is too loyal an American to take any other position than that quoted above.
