Its a terrible assignment, and you're

THE LouIsvILLE REUNION.

The Louisville reunion Of the United Con-
federate Veterans. which takes place on
May so to June 8. inclusive. gives promise
of being one Of the most largely attended
and enjoyable occasions of the kind ever
held. Kentuckians are proverbial fer their
hospitality. In this instance they will try
to outdo themselves. The local committees
have been working day and night for sew
eral weeks to get all arrangements perfect
ed, and when the visitors begin arriving
they will find that nothing calculated to
conduce to their comfort and well being
has been omitted or forgotten. Reduced no
tel and travelling rates have been Sc cured
for the OCCASION and good care will be
taken of the entertainment Of those vete-
rams who find themselves unable to defray
their own expenses in the city. The ri,h,
the well-to-do and the poor who wore the
grey will meet upon common footing at
the reunion as comrades, proud of thzi
gallant struggle and the cause for which
they fought.
There will be one void at the reunion
which will cause universal and sincere sor-
row. Winnie Davis, the Daughter of
the Confederacy, will not be there, The
veterans delighted to honor her. and she
delighted to be with them at their annual
gatherings. But she has gone TO join her
great father; hence the old soldiers can
only honor her memory. That they W Il
do. 1t is doubtful If Mrs. Davis, wife CT
President Davis. can go 10 Louisville, on
account of recent severe illness, but Mrs.

al household of the only chief executive
the Confederacy ever had.
The indications are that the attendance
from Georgia will be quite large. 1t
should be so, since Georgia has always
taken leading part in matters appertain-
ing to the Confederacy and to the vete ans
Those survivors of the Southern army who
can possibly do so should attend the
meeting. This will be the last opportunity
for many of them, and there cannot be
many more opportunities for any of them,
to gather around the campfire end in
retrospect live over again those terrible
but glorious war days of the sixties.

IBID you ever try TO dance with a for
eigner?" asked a Louisville gentleman
who had been travelling abroad, says the
Detroit Free Press. 81 did once" he con-
tinued, land that experience was more
than enough for me. 1t happened at a
ball at Mustapha, at the Hotel St.
Georges. I asked an Austrian countess to
waltz and when we started 1 supposed we
would dance in the leisurely American
fashion.
The Countess had a different idea in
her head. She preferred to whirl madly,
like dervish, on a space that could be
covered with a parasol, and, on account
of her superior strength, 1 chung to her

Finally, when 1t seemed to me that we
were performing our antics on the ceiling
with our heads hanging down, 1 could
stand 1t no longer, and, gasping for breath
suggested that we sit down. 1 saw two
chairs galloping around the room and pre-
pared 10 catch them on the next lap. We
stored for them, 1 clinging helplessly to
the athletic lady, and then we sank down

Two Buddhist doctors" are now in this
| country for the purpose of studying Chris
tianity. They spent a part of last week
in Chicago, and will visit a number OF
other cities during their Investigations
From their viewpoint it is probably for
tunate that they are here in a season of
conferences, assemblies and other annual
church sessions. They will be able to
give attention to these meetings and gath
er from them much information in COM
paratively short space Of time.
1t was probably rather confusing to the
Buddhist visitors at first to learn that
christianity is separated into so many
sects. Buddhism itself is not one complete
and perfect whole. It is divided into sects
to a number approximating fifty. This
number, however. is comparatively small
when 1t Is remembered that Buddhism has
the greatest number of followers of any
religion in the world 1t divides China
with Confuclansm, 1t prevails in Japan,
it has full sway over Ceylon, it is the re-
ligion of Thibet. and of the native tribes
of Siberia and on the Lower Volga. Its
adherents are estimated a. upwards OF
$40 coo souls. Fifty sec'ts appropriated
among that enormous total would, OF
course, give each a tremendous following.
The two Buddhist doctors" find that
Christianity is divided into several hun
dred sects and denominations, many of
them disagreeing in leading particulars
with others, and a number of them dis
agreeing within their own bodies They
find that certain of the denominations are
becoming dissatisfied with their own
creeds and are discussing the advisable
ity of consigning the old faiths to the mu-
scum and setting up a new standard,
deemed to be better fitted to modern
wants. They find that customs and prac-
tees pronounced against by some of the
Christian denominations and held TO be
grievous sins, are tolerated and encoun-
tered by other denominations They find
that while one basic principle of Chris
tianity is the teaching of brotherly love
and charity, some of the sects are at en-
nifty and perpetual strife with others, and
that their dealings with each other are
not characterized by charity.
The Oriental visitors should not be over
perplexed, however, by these apparent
contradictions. There are human imper-
fections in the modern Christian churches.
These may be eradicated some day, and
harmony may be secured. Then the
Church militant will be the Church tri-
umpnant. At present there are discords,
because human natures are discordant
The sects are founded upon ideals If in
each instance the ideal could be attained
to by each follower, perfect harmony and
felicity would prevail. The investigating
Buddhists should give first attention to
the underlying principles of Christianity,
and to the marvellous amount of good that
has been accomplished by and through it,
Should they do this, the divisions in the
great religious party would appear as
nothing in comparison.

THE CUBAN POSTAL SCANDAL.

The postoffice scandal in Cuba recalls the
days of carpetbag rule in the South. A
Havana dispatch to the New York Herald
says that Americans in that city are of
the opinion that the Postoffice Depart
ment has been made the dumping ground
for politicians" 1t certainly looks as If
many of the American officials there owe
their appointments to political influence
and not TO fitness.
The carpetbaggers who hocked to the
South after the war of secession were,
as a rule, political Adventures, who had
only one purpose in view, and that was
to I'LL their pockets as quickly as they
could. They grabbed state governments
and robbed the people OF everything that
could be taken by means of political pow
er. There is no statement yet from Ha-
vana that these carpetbaggers who have
government appointments in Cuba are
grabbing sugar and tobacco just as the
carpetbaggers who overran he South grab
bed cotton, letting the owners retain a
small portion of what belonged to them
on condition that they wouldn't make a
disturbance, but II would not be surprising
If statements Of that sort should begin
to appear in the newspapers in the near
future
There were of course some honest car
petbaggers In the South during the days
of carpetbag rule, and there are no doubt
honest men among the American officials
in Cuba, but as the most of them hold
their places through political favor. 1t is
safe to say that the great majority of
them are ION the make
And It is so easy for them to do pretty
much as they please. The Cubans are I'M
der the heel of military rule, and their
protests against being plundered are like
ly to be unheeded. The position the Unit
ed States occupies In Cuba is very deli
cate one. Respect for the honor of their
country ought to keep these carpetbaggers
in Havana honest. 1t seems, however,
that II has not done so. Indeed. 1t is
doubtful if some among them have any
more respect for their country's good name
than had the carpetbaggers who plundered
the Southern states and afterwards looted
the Freedmens Bank.
The President was warned against send
ing men to Cuba in official capacities on
the recommendations of politicians. He
was told that his administration would
be burdened with scandals unless he ex-
ercised the utmost care, in accordance
with civil service methods, In making APP
pointments for Cuba, and also for Porto
Rico Hawaii and the Philippine Islands.
He neglected to profit by this warning.
He let the politicians have their way, and
now his administration has a scandal to
deal with which promises to injure the
prospects of his party for winning the
presidential election

His HONG SURROUNDINGS.

You see," said the Arizona man who
had been asked why he didn't come East

pie around you. 1 was hauled UP before

reply.

I'm what's called a ballot caster;

Or perfect their imperfections,
Or concoct their Instructions

Or. in words Of explanation,

With the blithest OF nonchsIance,

When the scales are filled with talents
I'm the straw.
Politicians try to please me;
Bosses hug and kiss and squeeze me;

They don't dare attempt to queer me;
They respect me, and they fear me;
When speak, you bet, they hear me,
I'm man.

And my head is sometimes shattered.
With a stick.
And. it's true, I'm cuffed and co,lared.
And, I've often yelled and holllered
TIL my throat felt like I'd swallowed
Half a brick
Yes, I'm bought and sold and traded;
Snapped around until I'm faded:
Up and down the streets lparaded
With a band,
And some folks say I'm a rocker,
But, you see. my game is euchre,
And, yours truly's out for lucre

DEwEY,s CANDIDACY.

II is evident that Admiral Dewey has
practically abandoned his candidacy for
the presidency. Even Mrs. Dewey now
says that she does not want the Admiral
10 be President. After thiuking the nat
ter over she has come to the conclusion
that it is much better for him to live out
the remainder of his life quietly and hap
PLY than to have his life shortened by po-
litical worries.
While he was in the South the Admiral
became convinced that he had no chance
for the Kansas City nomination. He got
no encouragement at all in that direction
And in the West he did not find that any
body was thinking Of him in connection
with the presidency. He returned TO Wash
ington satisfied TO let politics alone AS
he never formally entered the presidential
contest he Will not withdraw, and he Will
not issue a statement of his political prin-
ciples as he promised couple Of weeks
ago. His dream of political power is over.
Whatever ambition he has in that drec-
ton he is now able to hold in check.
