Confederate Pensions.

Circumstances have prevented our
earlier noticing as we desired the reso-
lutions passed by the Stonewall Jack
son Camp of Confederate Veterans on
last Saturday night, and which were
printed in the SPECTATOR last week.
They deal with the subject of pen
sioning Confederate Soldiers. The
gush which followed the Atlanta
speech of Mr.. Mckinley was wearying
in the extreme. That speech did not
touch on such subject, it did not
even look that way, and that persons
of ordinary intelligence should see a
pension grab behind il, or a further
looting of the treasury in the name OF
patriotic generosity is hardly conceiv-
able. But there is no ground on which
apension ought to be awarded a Con-
federate soldier, and we hope there is
not one of them who would accept it.
The Confederate soldier was fighting
against his country, as much SO as
our forefathers fought England, OF the
Cubans fought Spain. Does it seem
possible that had England conquered
them she would have elevated them to
the dignity of her own soldiers by put
ting them on her pension roll, or that
Spain had she conquered Cuba could
have placed the insurgents on her pen
sion rolls? That action would cut the
y very ground from under the principle
on which pensions are granted, and
destroy patriotism. and the foundation
of the bounty. But admitting the
power of the government to scatter
the money of the people as it suits her
leaders, we believe there still exists
that principle in the human being as in
the horse, which submits to being led
to the trough, but does as it pleases
about drinking. There might under &
great tidal wave of gush, or under
pressure for party advantage, come 6
time when bait like pensions to Con
federates might be thrown out, that
we can hardly believe. yet there is
certainly not yet dead in the Confed
crate soldier that high moral attribute
which would make him scorn to be
come the recipient of favor his in.
most conscience told him was not his
and which he must know if he can tell
rain from sunshine, was given him
as bounty and bride. 1t is therefore
delightful to see that Confederate
camp bearing the lofty and invincible
name of Jackson, made up of men,
than whom, none ever went further
in soldierly duty, say:
We distinctly disavow any sympathy
with the propositions refer
red to, and deprecate them as unlikely
to lead to any desirable result.
That the survivors of that
army. so far as our knowledge of them
goes, while contributing in taxes for
many years past to the support of the
Soldiers Home establishments Of the
Federal Government, have never en-
tertained the least expectation of
sharing in their benefits; would scorn
to ask it, and would, as rule, decline
to avail themselves of it if offered.

The first Democratic legislature in
many years is now in session in North
Carolina, and among one of its hrst
moves was the introduction of a bill
to provide separate cars for the races.
This is a move in the right direction
and we hope ere long to see such law
in Virginia. The separate car law Is
working satisfactorily in a number Of
Southern States and there is no reason
why Virginia and North Carolina
should not be among them.

What happened Then is
History.

Once Vesuvins destroyed two Italian
cities in few hours. The people saw
the smoke from the volcano but failed
to escape in time.
Where there is smoke there is fire, and
where there are symptoms there are
disease. Here are few symptoms of
one of the most dangerous of diseases.
A feeling of languOr, sense of weak
ness and WEAKNESS, drowsiness, dZZi.
ness and mental discomfort. A bad
taste in the mouth, the old "coppery''
taste. An offensive breath, headache,
neuralgia, heartburn, a feeling of dull
ness and weight in the stomach, nausea,
dry and feverish skin, constipation, rising
of nasty gas in the throat, tongue furred
irritability, disgust with food.
| Now what lies at the bottom of all
these symptoms? Indigestion, dyspep-
sia, and an Overworked liver. How you
get yourself In this condition you know
better than the writer does. But you
must get out of it or you will be sick
probably with bilious fever.
