The Good work of Copgres.

From the New Orleans Times-Democratl
1t is the fashion to abuse and rdcule the
House and Senate, and good deal OF that sort
OF talk has recently been heard from Harvard's
sacred precincts. OF course any free deliberative
assembly frequently does things that are hardly
susceptible OF defense; but the session that has
just closed has been singuarly free from errors
OF commission. There no errors of omission
that may not be corrected at some other time.
In the net result, we bound to admit that
the peoples representatives have done good work
for the country, and they have the satisfaction
OF knowing that they have had great part
in making the history OF America and the
world.

a Hero,s sncrince.
CFrom the Detroit Free Press.)

(From the Detroit Free PreSs.)
''Talk about heroes" a Southern man remarked
in club talk over the reunion OF North and
South. Il know a man in New Orleans who is
what l call a real hero. He fought through
the Civil War and escaped without being
wounded Since the war his dearest possession
has been the Confederate uniform in which he
battled for the lost cause. This worn-out suit
of clothes has been carefully kept packed away
and it has long been his declared intention to
be buried in it when he dies. The other day
old comrade, dying by inches by some mortal
malady, sent for him, explained that his own
Confederate uniform had been stolen or de-
stroyed by moths, and his last days were en-
bittered by the fact that he could not be given
soldiers burial. He begged my friend to let
him be buried in his suit If Confederate gray;
ne did not to estimate properly the sacri-
fee he asking. My hero-friend told me the
story, and said it was the seyerest trial he
had ever encountered in his liie-the struggle
over that dying mans request He fought the
fight out, however, and sent the treasured suit
of soldier clothes to the nan whQ had asked the
boon. He was buried in them Ny New Orleans

villains garb, but the great Captain / know

Late advices from Porto Rico are to
the effect that the non-Spanish residents

of an American army of invasion to free
them from the oppression Of the Spanish

attention. No doub- they are ready to

The Man at Manila.

Admiral Dewey is still in command
at Manila. The slap in the face he ad-
minislered TO the German Emperor on
Thursday last has been heard around
the world.
What a glorious thing it is to have a
brave man, a great man, at the post Of
danger when grave crises threaten and
a nations honor is involved.
Three cheers for Dewey, and, again.

the hour and his reward when the war

The fact that Gen. Wheeler has been in

Capt. Charles f.. Clark, commander of
the Oregon, has been appointed by Secre-
tary Long to be chief of staff under
Commodore Watson in the Eastern
Squadron. which is to sail for the coast
of Spain within a few days.
Capt. Clark commanded the Oregon on
her phenomenal trip around the Horn
from San Francisco to Key West. when it
was demonstrated conclusively on that
occasion that the largest and heaviest
battleships are entirely seaworthy and
when several preconceived ideas on the
subject, held by eminent naval author
tiles, were changed materially. The
trip was entirely successful and was
made in excellent time. without break
peairs being made.
Capt. Clark has been a favorite among
the naval officers since that event, and
there was much satisfaction at his ap-
pointment.

day as follows;

Opinions differ widely as to the wisdom of

application. But there hardly be differ

extend our Government over Cuba and Porto
