Return OF the Names Dead.

The official announcement by the
navy department that the government
has determined to bring home from

terry the bodies of the men who perish
ed with the battleship Maine, almost
two years ago. will be gratifying to all
Americans. 1t is fitting that these
heroes should sleep the last sleep in
the soil of the land they served and
loved. This would have been their
preference, and this is the wish OF
those who mourn them. Scores OF the
victims of that hellish crime in Havana
harbor went down with the battered
hull of their ship, and their bodies were
never recovered. Many were literally
blown to fragments But the bodies OIL
many were recovered from the water
and many others were taken from the
wreck bv divers: and these, with those
who died in the hospitals, were buried
in Colon cemetery. just outside Ha-
vana. 1874 of them in all
Congress appropriated the sum of
SO 900 to remove the bodies, but later
if was decided to acquire full title to
the leased plot in which they We're
buried and thus let them remain where
first placed. This has been found i'm
possible. and to avoid the complica
tons which might occur at the cXpira-
ton of the lease ana through patriotic
considerations. the department has de-
termined to place in American soil,
under the shadow of the national cap
itol. the remains of these heroes. 1t is
eminently fitting that Captain Sigsbee
and the Texas, which was the sister
ship Of the Maine, are to be detailed
for this sacred service. The work will
be done between December and Febru-
airy next, which is the only season that
Cuban sanitary considerations would
make it allowable.
1t may be that the American flag will
always fly over cuba. but it is far bet
Ter that the victims of the Maine
should sleep in our national cemetery
than in Havana. Many of the graves
will have to be marked unknown" in
such frightful fashion did the explosion
do its work. but each will be ever a
shrine to all American patriots, and
over them shall be raised a mighty
monument that posterity shall know

When men wore clothes like these,
Charles III. OF England issued a
proclamation suppresslng coffee
houses. He considered them "hot
beds Of scdition " and dangerous to
the public peace.
Times have changed since then.
In these days benevolent persons
establish coffee houses, having
learned that they promote the public
welfare. The reason for this is that
they drink coffee at home them
selves, and know its virtue.
