1t seems that the order of the Secretary

1t seems that the order of the Secretary
OF War calling a constitutional conven-
tion in Cuba specifies not only that the
convention shall frame a constitution,
but shall ''adopt' it as we'll. If this
means that the constitution so adopted is
to become operative without ratification
by the people it is mistake. A consti-
tuition that is not voted on by the people
is not likely to have the confidence of the
masses, which is one OF the prime essen
tiaIs for stable and peaceful government.

CURRENT COMMENT.
ONE EFFECT OF THE CHINESE
WAR
(From the Fall River News.)

War in China would deprive cotton
manufactures of an outlet for about $40,
600 GOO worth Of their goods annually
The cotton crop will be fairly large, but
If mills find it necessary TO curtaiI Or O.
duction the cotton carrying roads will
suffer. However, the contingency is not
yet at hand, and may not come at all.
The reflex movement in the reduced
ability of the planters to purchase mer-
candise, owing to these lower prices for
cotton, would be the most serious phase
of the situation from the railroad stand
point.

of which he is member. April 81,
1862, on the 10th birthday of Gen.

and served in unbroken unity until
the close of the war. June 9, 1881,
it organized as a civic association, its
first reunion taking place at Washing
ton, Ia, Sept. 2S and 20, 1881. The
spirit of comradeship born of long

CONFEDERATE DEAD TO
REST AT THE ARSENAL.

Confederate dead who rest at Rock
Island arsenal are not to be moved
after all. The cemetery on the main
drive, wherein lie several hundred
men who died as prisoners of war at
the arsenal, is not to be disturbed.
Maj. Blunt has not heard of the pro-
posed removal of bodies to southern
burying grounds as the Confederate
Southern Memorial association of New
Orleans proposes. All he knows of
the matter is what THE ARGUS first
printed and that was on the authority
of the association. There has been a
misinterpretation regarding the sup
posed act of congress aPproPriating
money for this purpose.
This was supposed to have been
provided for in the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill approved June 6.
1900. But on investigation Congress
man Mann found that no such action
was taken. The bill only appropri-
ates 50, 500 for the renewal of 125
confede rate dead from the Soldiers
home at Washington to the Arlington
cemetery, and for the shifting of 1876
confederate dead already at Arlington
to some spot together with the others.
There seems to have been a wide
spread Misunderstanding in regard to
this act of congress. On the strength
of it the Confederate Southern Me-
mortal association, with headquarters
at New Orleans, has stirred up all
similar associations to provide suita-
BILE cemeteries in the south for the re-
pose of these confederate remains, and
has set October as the date of the re-
moval of bodies to Hollywood ceme-
terry in Richmond, Va.
