THE CONFEDERATE REUNION.

In the reunion of the Confederate
veterans at Charleston this year the
poetry and the pathos that have ever
marked the re-assembling OF those
who wore the gray more than ever
predominant. In the ''cradle of seces-
sion," how many and how vivid must
be the memories that rise in the
minds of these heroes of war and of
peace! Memories of the years OF
bloody strife that stretched between
Moultrie and Appomattox
1t is wonderful thing this free
masonry of the lost cause that has
no tinge of disloyalty in it, this broth
erhood born of blood and battle.
Truly the world has not seen its Ike
before, this democracy Of comraie-
ship that lifts the lowest to the plane
of the highest this gathering of men
to celebrate under one flag the bat
ties fought under another.
And who will say that it does not
add to the pleasure of every old vet
eran as he renews the friendships of
'6O-'65, and fights his battles over with
his One-time comrades in arms, to
know that at last he can do so with
out danger. of being misunderstood,
that the vicious clamor of rancorous
tongues has been stilled for aye and
that reunited country looks on, not
with lily disguised tolerance, but with
sympathetic appreciation. He and
the sons he has bred have shown that,
however much the ''Stars and Bars"
may be loved and cherished, he and
they hold no jot less of loyalty. to the
''Stars and Stripes than the men born
under colder skies that have known
no other flag.
And as if ain earnest of the fact
that the veteran of the Confederacy
has finally won the right to cherish
dead and to return without carping
the hand-grasp of his living comrades,
common country sends to his re-
union vessel bearing the trophies of
a victory shared alike by the North
and the South.
The reunion at Charleston is bound
to be memorable one, and there is
no American worthy of the name that
Will grudge to the ranks in gray, thin
ming all too fast of recent years, the
thrill mat sweeps them as they
cheer the men who led them at
Sharpsburg and Antietam, at Manas-
sas and in the wilderness. All will
the rather rejoice that, ''or ever the
golden bowl be broken" the Confed
crate veterans have been permitted to
meet together again where the frs,
page of the history of the Confed-
eracy was written.
With just pride in a past made glo-
rious by their heroism, they meet
also ito pledge the South's unfailing
support to every worthy cause for
strengthening the bonds of American
unity and thus accelerating the on
ward march of the republic in its be-
nign mission to humanity"

fast train and on a down grade, it ran
into the horses before the engine
could be stopped
