Louisville, June 2-There was
q parade of veterans today not,
withstanding the action of the re :
union authorities in calling off the
feature on account of the bad
weather Yesterday. This morning
large number of veterans de-
clded as they had come to Louis
vile to march they were gong to
march, and march they did. Many
veterans and organized bodies
have not left the city and they
formed at II o'clock and marched
through the business part of the
city between sidewalks lined with
people, many Of whom had co ne
out to the streets with the idea
that thev were not going to SEQ a
reunion parade. AS it was, nu>
merous ands were playing
"Dixie" and other Southern airs
and there was no lack of enthusiasm
among either the marchers or
crowds.
The Veterans began to leave
Louisville last night and are still
hooking away to the South.
1t is estimated that 200 per.
sons have visited Louisville dur
ing the reunion Notwithstanding
the rainy weather prevailing this
morning.
The outgoing rush came earlier
than the railroads expected and
they were taxed to the hardest
efforts to handle the crowds.

cotton crop continues quite prom>
lslng, although the weather has
been far from ideal, mainly on
account of the persistent low night
temperatures that retarded growth
and caused lice to appear in most
of the States. While rain would
be beneficial over the Atlantic
States, the crop is not yet suffer
ing for moisture, while in the
middle Gulf States and Trans
Mississippi regions there has fallen
too much rain, especially in
Texas.
In detail the reports from the
different States indicate that in
North Carolina planting is finished
but the young plants suffered
much from the low temperatures,
and growth will be slow until the
weather grows warmer. Chops
ping has made rapid progress.
There is in this State a largo in
crease in acreage.
In South Carolina the weather
was favorable for cultivation, and
the crop is well worked, with ht-
tie complaint of grassy fields
but the nights have been too cool
for rapid growth of cotton, which
remains small, with, however,
quite full stands, although irregu-
lar in size. Planting is finished.
Lice have made their appearance
over large areas. Chopplng is
well under way or nearing COM
pletion. Sea Island cotton looks
we'll, but owing to cool nights is
small.
ln Georgia the growing crop
was much improved by the rains,
and is now coming forward Wig
orodsly, having been well worked
during the.week. There is some
complaint Of scarcity of labor in
southern sections. Chopping of
early cotton is progressing favor
ably in the north, and is COM
pleted in some OF the central
counties the stands are, on the
whole, regarded as good. Late
cotton has been improved by the
moisture and is coming up nicely.
In Alabama the cool nights
checked the growth of young cot
ton, and much of the seed has not
germlnated. Early cotton Is
small but healthy.
In Florida cotton is small and a
large acreage is still grassy. 1t
is in healthy condition, however,
and much fruit is reported.
/ In Mississippi cotton remains a
very favorable crop, although the
cool nights have retarded the
growth hoeing has been very
general during the past week.
lr Louisiana cotton is making
very slow growth, due principal
! ly, it is claimed, to continued and
low nigbt temperatures the plant
is also suffering seriously in many
parishes from lice.
In Texas chopping was retarded
at the opening of the week by the
wet weather, but this work wss
rushed after the weather cleared
up and much colt, n has been chops
ped out. Some low land is still
reported too wet for tiIlage. All
upland cotton has been reported in
fair condition. Cotton planting
continues in places and it is be-
lievcd that great deal of the low
land will yet be planted if the
weather will admit. The crop is
late and very irregular on account
of 50 much replanting. 1t is re-
ported from Chico and Colum bia

Through the kindness of Walla
Walla county, Adams county has
never had a state senator. When the
senatorial districts were formed Adams
was tackled on in such way that the
city OF Walla Walla could and did
have two state senators, one from
each side of Main street. At every
convent ton for ten years past the
delegates have diScourteously ignored
the proposition OF conceding anything
to Franklin or Adams but proceeded
to take the whole thing. There will
be a change in the next round, some
thing is going to drop and it may fall
hard. Accounts will be adjusted by
the time the frost is on the pumpkin
and the "barrel" won't fix it either
We propose to make an open protest
and fight if necessary for the rights
of the people of Adams county. We
conclude that we owe Walla nothing
but on the contrary she is considerably
indebted to us. AT least she is always
much interested in our election re-

An editor who has heard Paderewski
the Polander, play the piano, says;
'The fellow is deceitful He makes
you think all the time he is going to
play tune, but he never docs. His
hair looks like a wig but it isn't. He
deceives you in a hundred ways. He
makes the sweetest sounds you ever
heard that were not II tune. He has
his piano SO trained that the doggone
thing will keep right on playing while
he is not touching it. He reaches
out slowly and strokes it drawing
back his elbows like man brushing a
girls hair. You see the moonlight
and you're there with your girl. but
somehow she don't love you. You
know the sorrow Of that, and that's
why we don't like Paderewski. We
wouldn't go to hear him again. There
are troubles enough in the world with
out hearing Paderewski. A man
doesn't want to feel as if he had thrown
the mutilated remains of his grand
mother in the sewer. If this is Pader-
ewski's last visit to America we are
glad OF it, but we wouldn't take u hun
bred dollars for what we heard at Con-
vention hall.

NO IMPERIALISM.

There can be no imperialism. Those
who fear it are against it. Those who
have faith in the republic are against
it. So that there is universal abhor-
ence for it and unanimous opposition
to it. Our only difference is that those
who do not agree with us have no
confidence in the virtue or capacity or
high purpose or good faith OF this Tree
people as a civilizing agency, while we
believe that the century of free gov
eminent which the Americans have
enjoyed has not rendered them faith
less or irresolute, but has fitted them
for the great task of lifting up and as
sisting to better conditions those peo-
pie of distant countries who through
the fortunes of battle became our
wards. The liberators will never be-
come the oppressors. A self-governed
people will never permit despotism in
any government which they foster
and defend.-President Mckinley at
the Ohio dinner in New York.
In these words of simple common
sense the president has gone right to
the heart of the whole matter. He
has laid his finger upon the line Of
cleavage between those who are en-
deavoring to perform "the task of lift
ing up and assisting to better condi-
tions" the peoples for whom the events
OF the last two years have made us re-
sponsible, and those who are doing all
in their power to hamper the fulfill
ment of this task and to befog the
conscience OF the nation. On the one
side are "those who have faith in the
republic" and on the other are those
who day in and day out brand their
fellow-countrymen, directly or by nee
essary implication as devoid of all "vir-
tue or capacity, Or high purpose and
good faith" a nation OF misers and
hypocritos, who would out-Spain Spain
in the exploitation of those whom
Pro 7idence had committed to their
charge. There can be no question to
which side the nation will incline.
No amount of sonorous rhetoric can
make it forget that the war with Spain
was OF its own making; that it was by
Democratic as we'll as by Republican
votes that the war was declared.

o, Noble, Noble Dewey.

On that glorious May morning so
short a time ago, when the ships OF
the boy king OF Spain, one after
another, in dreadful succession, hid
their battered forms beneath the tropi-
cal waves OF Manila bay, there shot
aloft into the armament OF history the
dazzling name of another world hero,
DEWEY.
Nothing that the greatest nation on
earth could do to honor its noblest,
grandest, most beloved son was left
undone. The highest Office then in
its gift was proudly laid at his feet and
money flowed like water and assembled
millions cheered themselves hoarse
that the world might know that we
realized that another undying name
had been blazoned on Earth's roll of
honor
Is not this enough? Could man
ssk more? o, yes! Man can ask more
and does ask more. "Give me $1S, 900"
says he of the emblazoned name and
deathless honor, "for it was very
great thing indeed to sink so many
ships and blow up so many shore bat
teries." "Nay, nay" quoth the proud
and honored and honoring country.
"You're not so much. Most any
one could have done it. They were
but feeble force" "I'll sue you in
the court of claims, dear country, if
you don't whack up says this Nell
son, this Farragut, this Paul Jones.
"Sue, if you like, and see what you
will get" says the Nation. And he
did sue and the court cut him down
half. Send the news to Montejol Tell
him that that was not star that
illumined the May night of that far
off land with it's sudden brilliance,
