AN IMPERIALISM.

Bishop Charles B. Galloway is r the greatest of all Southern Metho- dist bishops, good and great man S' 7 in every way. He has done d o grand work as a citizen and as U bishop, and the Democrat has the i' highest regard for him. One U thing the Democrat likes especial u ly Tn his character He is not VI afraid to speak his mind on any u public question, and he does not E wait to see how the current of , public sentiment is running. On some great questions he is far presi- advance of the majorityof inc e' nation. pf5, brethren. But he is as o the meemorieee

 '1ost exalted promptings of patriot ct hG. those who were sent to other shores to do battle for their country's honor un- del their eountry's flag went freely from every quarter of our beloved land. Each l soldier. each sailor parting from home tics and putting behind him private inter ests in the presence of the stern emer- ! Fency of unsought war with an alien foe. was an individual type of that devotion of the citizen of the state which makes our nation strong in unity and in action.
 Those who died in another land left in many homes the undyinS memories that attend the heroic dead of all ages IL vas befittiHg that with the advent ot peace won by their sacrifice. their bodies should be gathered with tender care and restored to home and kindred. This has been done with the dead of Cuba and Porto Rico. Those of the Philippines still rest where they fell, watched over by their surviving comrades and crowned with the love of grateful nation.
 The remains of many brought to our shores have been delivered 10 their fami- lies for private burial. But for others of the brave officers and men vino perished there has been reserved interment in ground sacred to the soldiers and sailors amid the tributes of military honor and national mourning they have so well de- served.
 l therefore order:
 That upon the arrival of the cortege at the national cemetery at Arlington, all proper military and naval honors be pal l to the dead heroes; that suitable cermo- nies shall attend their interment, that the customary salute of mourning be fired at 
 two o'clock D. m, Thursday, Che sixth day of April, the national flag be displayed Ut half-mast on all public buildings. forts, camps and public vessels of the United States. and at F o'clock noon of said day, all the departments of the government at Washington shall be closed.
