Honorary Military Titles.
Norfolk Landmark


In the course of a few remarks about
the approaching meeting Of the Grand
Camp of Confederate Veterans of Viz
ginia at Pulaski City, the Richmond
Dispatch says that IT would be rejoiced
''to hear that the camp had done some
thing in the way Of removing the con.
fusion wrought by the distribution of
high military titles TO camp officers.

investigator of the future. VIII they be?
Is 1t not far more likely that they will

honorary titles-their generals, colonels
captains, &c.-when they appear in print
are not distinguishable from those which
were won in war. Ought this to be? We
think not. Most old Confederates think
not. The trouble is apparent; not so the
remedy, but II would seem possible 10
adopt some sort of sign, or device. that
would show which is which " This
remonstrance is certainly most timely
and sensible. There is nothing to which
the Grand Camp can devote itself with
more propriety than to the problem of
differentiating between military titles OBJ
tanned in actual service and military
titles obtained in other ways.

HE STOLE 4 MARCH.

The arrival of the cruiser Olympia at
New York Yesterday morning, with Ad-
. miraI Dewey on board, was great sur
prise, and not Il particularly agreeable
one. He was not expected until Thurs
day evening. by his premature appear
ance the New Workers are put in the pre-
dicament of host who sees his guests
present themselves some days in ad-
vance of the time set for the feast.
Precisely how this miscalculation was
made we do not know at this moment,
but we doubt not that an explanation
will be forthcoming which will exonerate
everybody from blame.
1t is said that the naval authorities
at Washington are not at all surprised
at Deweys early arrival; but If that be
the fact, they acted shabbily in not
warning the New Workers. In that mat
ter we may discover something of the
alleged jealousy as to which city should
have the honor of welcoming Dewey
first. 1t is said the New York commit
tee made no provision for the Wash
ingtonians, calling upon Dewey to in
form him OF the arrangements made 10
entertain him at the national capital,
and that the Washington committee,
therefore, had secured a tug-boat on
their own account. with which they
meant to go down the bay to meet the
Olympia. Now they need not take that
trouble. The Admiral will have two
more days TO himself before the well
coming deluge begins In that time he
may see as many or as few committees
as he pleases. free from the restraints
which the New York committees pro-
gramme will afterwards impose upon
him.
Yes, Admiral Dewey's arrival yester-
day was a good deal of a misfit, but we
suppose he will consent to keep himself
behind the scenes as much as possible
and wait with all the patience he car
command for the curtain TO rise upon
the great show. Meanwhile. the enlisted
men Of the Olympia can be put to WORK
scrubbng the ship. 1t would be well
