IN THE UNION.
(Fhe Southern Veteran Speaks)


I've faced the fight with Jackson, I've
marched along with Lee:
1 had some words with Sherman as he gar
Hoped to the sea;
Exchanged brisk compliments with Grant
when victory seemed in view,
My old steel bayonet glittering at many
breast in blue.
1 say I've been with Jackson, and Lee
knew my name:
And eOmetimes. when the fight was on, he
called me by the same.
I followed fiirce and fearless where Long
street led the way
To fields whose bloody daisies were blent
with blue and gray.
But now I'm in the Union! I see there
overhead,
The flag our fathers fought for: her rip
ping rills of red
All glorious and victorious:-the splendid
of her stars
And I say: The blood of heroes dyed
all her crimson bars
I'm for that flag forever gainst foes or
sea and shore.
Who shames her? Who defames her.
Give me my gun once more
Well answer when they need us-whan
the war-fires light the night;
There's a Lee still left to lead US to the
glory of the fight!
See how the old flag ripples, and flaunts
her folds in scorn.
Her stars and bars will be the JOY of ma
tons yet unborn:
And though she waves DER new made
graves meath alien sod and dew,
There, in the starry silence, the gray
sleep with the blue.
We're one in heart forever-we're one ir
heart and hand:
The flags challenge to the sea, a gar
land to the land.
We're united -one great country: Free
dom's the watchword still:
There's Lee that's left to lead us-le.

Hheefer %nd 9chley spoke
Pittsburg. Pa, April y. Politics
gave way to patriotism at the annual
banquet of the Americas Republican
Club, in honor Of the birthday Of Gem
eral Grant tonight, and instead of the
names of such prominent Republican
leaders among the speakers as McKin-
ley, Harrison, Reed and Sherman, the
army and navy had the call, and the
guests of honor were Gen. Joseph
Wheeler and Admiral Winfield S.
Schley. The dinner was held at the
Hotel Schenley, and in many respects
was the most successful ever given by
the club. Covers were laid for 365, and
had there been room probably twice
this number of tickets would have been
sold. Preceding the dinner the dis
tinguished guests held a reception
which lasted more than an hour, and
it was long after the time fixed for the
banquet when the guests filed into the
banquet hall to the inspiring strains
of the STARS and Stripes
Hon. c. L. Magee was chairman at
the dinner table, and Clarence Bur-
leigh, city attorney, was postmaster
Major General Wheeler responded to
the toast Grant"
Rear Admiral Schley replied to Our
Navy"
The other speakers were Col. Alex.
X. Mcclure, on Patriotism" Gen.
Willis J. Hulings, on "Our Army" and
Henry Watterson. who spoke i'm
promptu.
Admiral Schley and Gen. Wheeler ar
rived from Washington shortly after
6 o'clock this morning, and the day was
spent in visiting the armor plate works
of the Carnegies, at Homestead, and
other points of interest.
During the afternoon Gen. Wheeler
was asked if the report was true that
he had been assigned to the depart
ment of Texas.
q hope not" he replied quickly Il
want to go to the Philippines. There
are several good fights left in me yet,
and | think | could serve my country
to the best advantage in active service
in the field. l have not given up hope
of being sent to Manila. Have you any
news from Lawton?"
The General was shown the head line
in a newspaper and chuckled when he
read that the Americans had just gain
ed a signal victory over the Filipinos.
Gen. Wheeler said that he had great
faith in the volunteers in service in
the East
An effort was made to get an ex-
preston from Admiral Schley on Ad-
miral Kautz's letter, but he simply
waved the question away with a smile
and with gestures signifed that he did
not care to open his mouth while such
a Subject was under discussion.
General Wheeler was accompanied
to Pittsburg by his daughters. The
distinguished party will return to
Washington tomorrow, except Gen.
Wheeler, who goes west.

A SAMPLE or REEDS METHODS

Since Speaker Reed has given out
life to engage in money making, those
who feared his autocratic use of power
as Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives have begun to tell a few tales
out of school in regard to his methods.
1t appears that Reed had no respect
whatever for law or parliamentary
procedure in carrying out his designs
or in putting through or defeating
measures he approved or did not ap-
prove.
1t is now stated that if he had re-
manned in the Office of Speaker of the
House he would have been the sub
ject of an investigation by that body.
Certain clerks and members of the
committee on enrolled bills have made
public an act of the Speaker which
throws in the shade any former action
of the Car in overriding the law.
1t appears, according to a reliable
Washington correspondent, that during
the first session of the late Congress
the Senate passed joint resolution
providing for a compilation of the
treaties and conventions which this
government has entered into with for
eign powers since its beginning. This
resolution, which involved an eXpendi-
ture of about $4,000, was passed by the
House late in the first session, and
was sent to the Speakers desk with
the signature of the Vice-President.
MIR. Reed laid it aside and declined to
sign the resolution. At the beginning
of the second session his attention was
called to the resolution, which was
in this unfinished legislative stage, and
he was requested to affix his signature.
Again he declined and pocketed the
resolution, which had been favorably
acted upon by both Houses of Con-
gress.
Although his attention was frequent
ly called to the measure, he never
signed the bill, and when the Congress
adjourned on the 4th of March, that
particular resolution was still in its
pigeonhole in the room of the Speaker.
It never became a law because there
was no way, without the signature of
the Speaker, to transmit legal copy
to the President of the United States.
The Constitution gives to the Presi-
dent alone the power of approving or
vetoing bills or joint resolutions, and
the action of Speaker Reed was in
violation of the law, which requires
| that he shall sign all measures re-
ceiving the concurrent action of the
| two Houses.

of the administration party. Mr.
Hanna is just such another Yet Re-
| publican organs tell US there is moth

!. ing the veto power of the President

YoMmENr FROM TIE REAR GUARD.

by all means give the hOmesick
boys lollypop and let them come
home" This is the sneering comment
Of the New York Herald in reference
to the volunteers in the Philippines
who have frankly expressed a desire
to take advantage of the expiration OF
their term of enlistment to return to
their homes and families after so long
. separation and so many hardships.
How characteristic is this sneer of
those patriots who have remained COM
fortably at home to boss the imperial
job from safe distance!
Our volunteer soldiers in the Philip
pines have earned their discharge They
have fought nobly and with wonderful
heroism in the face of tremendous
hardships and in a cause not of char
acter to arouse their patriotism or en-
thusiasm, and for which they did not
enlist. They are simply dead tired of
"nigger hunting" as they express it,
or tackrabbiting. A member of the
gallant Nebraska regiment writing
home confidentially says:
We came here to help. not to slaughter
these natives. to fight the oppressor Spa. n,
not the oppressed. 1t strikes me as not
very Ialr TO pursue policy that leads
to this insurrection and then keeps us vol
unteers out here to fight battles we never
enlisted for. l cannot see that We are
nghting for any principle now.
It must be borne in mind that these
volunteers are intelligent American cit
liens, who know what they are about
and have quite as clear an idea of the
right and wrong of the administra-
tion's policy in the far east, and look
at the subject from as lofty and patri-
otto 9 standpoint as Mr. James Gordon
Bennett. Mr.. Stephen B. Elkins, Mr..
Mark Hanna or any of the leaders OF
imperial thought.

these captains Of Imperialism to prove
their faith by their works and get up

ADMINISTRATION ANNIVERSARY

The diamond anniversary of the
American Sunday School Union will be
held in Philadelphia on May "a and
25. This is an, important and interest
ing celebration and the meetings will
be addressed by many men of national
rerute, evangelists, ministers, educa-
tors, editors, statesmen and soldiers.
The work of the society for seventy
five years in part, is as follows: 100, 1928
Sunday schools organized, containing
57S,6S0 teachers and 4.O70,34S scholars;
224.S44 cases of aid to schools, having
13, 1888 ,96S members Nearly four schools
day organized for every day of the
last seventy-fve years. Value Of publ
cations distributed by sales and gifts,
over s9,OO0,000.
Despite all that has been accom-
plished by the Union and the great
work the denominations are doing, it
is estimated there are no less than H.
900, 600 youths in the United States be-
tween the ages of five and eighteen,
who are not in any Sunday school. 1t
is desired that this seVenry-fifth ami
versary shall be the occasion for arous-
ing fresh interest in the great work Of
the Society. They especially request
that the 18th of May be observed in all
the churches and Sabbath schools as
American Sunday School Union Day.
The Committee of Arrangements are
Clarkson Clothier, chairman, Philadel-
phia; John N. Beach and Robert T. B.
Easton, New York; VIM. HI. Wanna
maker, VIM. c. Stoever, C. H. Cara and
J. M. Andrews, Secretary of the Com
mittee, Philadelphia; E. B. Stevenson,
assistant to chairman, Cedar Rapids,
Iowa.
Those wishing to make inquiries con-
corning this anniversary, may address
any member of the committee at 1922
Chestnut street, Philadelphia.

of affairs? 1t is a serious question
for if the Speaker could refuse to sign
simple resolution like this, he could,
in like manner, refuse to to sign one
of the big appropriation bills, tariff
measure or any great political measure
to which the party might be commit
ted. In this manner the Speaker could
make himself the absolute dictator of
all legislation, for until the acts of
the two houses have been signed by
their respective presiding officers there
is no way by which they can be trans
mitted to the President for his ap-
prevail or veto.
An additional illustration of the au-
tocratic power of the Speaker in Con-
gress and how he was feared in that
body is, these facts have only come
out since his retirement, the clerks
and members Of the committee on en-
rolled bills who knew of his suppress
sion of this resolution actually fearing
to speak while he held despotic sway
as Speaker.
Such men as Reed in authority are
extremely dangerous to the liberties
of the people. 1t is well that we have
gotten rid ofiReed, but there are others
at the head land front Of the Republic
can party whose arrogance and con-
tempt for popular rights are quite as
great a menace to the Republic.
