Confederate Reunion.

The Crowley Signal summarizes
the many interesting events of the
coming reunion at Louisville, Ky.
OH May 80 and 81, and June l, 2
and 3, as follows:
The press notices sent out by
the committee in charge of the
Confederate Veterans reunion at
Louisville call for an extraordi-
nary good time. The intentions
are to make the meeting the best
ever had, and to this end they
promise the veterans mere amuse-
ments, free, than were ever given
in all former reunions combined.
There will be steamboat excur-
sions, many concerts, tableau, bal
loon ascensions, motor-blcycle
races Cat the rate of 3U-odd miles
an hour OH q cement or concrete
track), cakewalks, an immense
sham battle, three grand process
sions, all different prize drills,
prize music contests, reception
and ball, and the most magnifi-
cent and interesting pyrotecnic
displays, prominent among them
being representation of the
Niagara Falls afire, and the attack
and repulse of the gunboats at
Fort Donaldson.

sertiens of administration men
that there is no secret understand
ing between the Mckinley admin
istration and the English govern
ment.
Whatever the administration
may be able to do in the House
with the Ship-Subsidy job, the
scheme will not get through the
Senate at this session. The Dem
ocratic Senators who opposed this
scheme have received unexpected
support in their fight against it,
from Quay's Republican friends,
who intend to let Hanna, who
is the most active pusher Of the
job, see that they resent the sue
cessful deal by which he kept
Quay out of the Senate. These
Republican Senators weuld prob
ably not vote against the Subsidy
bill if put to the test, but they
will probably quietly help the
Democratic Senators to prevent
its reaching a vote, which will
be practically the same thing.

viii Support Bryan.

The Dewey presidential boom
will 60 into history as the most
ludicrous failure of the century
No seener did the bud open than
the tender little petals were
nipped by killing frost. In the
meantime it is gratifying to note
that many of the ablest Southern
newspapers that opposed the Chi
cage ticket and platform Of 1896
are announcing their willingness
to support Bryan this year. In
reply to question propeunded
by a contemporary as to whether
it would stand by Bryan Or Nc
Kinley in The November cleo
ton, the Charleston News
and Courier says :
''The answer is easy : Bryan,
in our opinion is wrong on the
free silver question, but he is
right on the most pressing and
important vital issues Of the next
presidential campaign, and it is
because he is right on these over
whelming issues that we would
support him rather than McKin-
ley, whe represents the party of
oppression, the party which has
always been the inveterate enemy
of the South and its people in all
their material and political inter-
ests."
Like the News and Courier, the
Atlanta Journal depIored the
adoption by the Democratic party
of the free silver fad in 1896 and
thinks Mr.. Bryan was wrong en-
this question, but it realizes the
certainty of his nomination as the
standard bearer of the Democrat
ic party this year, and will give
him it's most earnest support.
The journal says:
"Even if free silver coinage
were a possibility there are worse
things certain if we follow Nc
Kinley and the powers which con-
troll, dominate and direct him.
We do not believe that anybody
will pay much attention to the
silver question in the coming
presidential campaign. 1t will
be side issue.
"The Democratic party, under
the lead of Wm. j. Bryan will
make its fight mainly against inn
perialism, militarism,. the pro-
tective tariff and trusts. The
Mckinley administration stands
for all these evils, and the great
aim Of the Democratic party is to
strike them down and to extirpate
them, branch and roet. It will
be both the duty and the delight
of the journal to aid this right
eous effort to the fullest measure
of its ability

The Mer Rouge Democrat does
not everdraw the picture when it
refers to the condition that con-
fronts the farmers in the follow
ing words d: Everything the farm
ers have to buy this year costs
more than it did last year. Meat
is climbing to dizzy heights, meal
and -four are advancing and the
present cetton crop bids fair to
be one of the most expensive
raised in many years. Should a
crop failure result or fve-cent
cotton be reality next fall, the
result will be disastrous to the
country.
