THE SOLDIERS HOME.
The Sentinel is Against It From start to
Finish"

The SENTINEL is opposed to the
building of Confederate soldiers
nome for Mississippi. Many reasons
can be assigned why we oppose the
proposition, but the main reason is
that a very large majority of the old
soldiers do not want it. We have
taken pains to ask many of the old
veterans in this section and elsewhere
in the State, and in our judgment
nine out of ten are opposed to it.
Hon. B. 9. Adams, our present State
Senator, who was himself Confeder-
ate soldier and one of the youngest in
the ranks, has expressed himself as
being opposed to the measure. His
devotion to the Lost Cause and his
love and sympathy for the old Confed-
crate soldiers is unquestioned but in
response to our inquiries on the sub
ject, said that speaking for himself
and others he had consulted, they did
not want it.
We think the proposition comes too
late. Ten years from today there
will hardly be a 'corporal's guard" of
the old soldiers left. Then what is to
become of the immense outlay of the
States money!. 1t means not only
an appropriation for the building, but
it means yearly outlay of money to
pay the current expenses of the insti-
tuition. 1t means to create soft places
for few, while the great mass of the
soldiers still living will not get any of
the advantages.
1t means superintendent, a ma
tron, doctors and other officers at good
salaries. The old soldier prefers to
remain amorg his own people and not
to be removed to place among stran-
, gers. If he is to be cared for and must
die in poverty, do not humiliate him,
but let him spend his last hours
among those he loves, and if but cup
of cold water, let it be passed to his
dying lips by friends and neighbors,
and not by strangers and kind atten-
dants. Let his last sight fall upon
familiar scenes, his ears catch the last
sound of friends voices and the clod
that covers him be upon his native
heather"
No, this proposition to build SOL
diers' home now comes too late. If a
home was to be built it ought to have
been built at least twenty years ago.
/ If the soldiers are to be helped and
we do not oppose that, let it be in the
way Of increased pensions. Take the
money that it will require to build a
home and to pay the yearly increasing
expenses and divide it among the alb,
solutely needy eX-Confederates, and
let them stay at home or among the
people they know. Do not store
them away in a thing like an aims
house and make them feel that they
are entirely pensioners upon the pub.
lie bounty. Spare them the humilia.
| tion, but take care of them at home
for the sacrifice they have made
Let not politicians take advantage
of and abuse a noble sentiment for the
purpose of notoriety and political ad
yancement. All honor to the brave
men who suffered SO much and fought
so gallantly.

Admiral Dewey manifested his
manhood and keen sense of justice in
giving minority opinion as to the
Schley case, and his verdict had more
weight with the American people
than that Of the other two members
of the court. AS has been the case
with the American navy, numbers do
not always count most, but liability
and skill. The recognized ability of
Admiral Dewey more than Offset the
numerical strength Of the other two

The majority decision in the Schley
investigation was not made according
to the evidence adduced, but accord

responsible in large degree for the

confidence in these institutions.

Much may be pardoned on the

the pastor of the president at

was certainly guilty Of a grave
lapse of judgement when he said
that the attempt to assassinate
Mr.. Mckinley had almost con-
verted him to the idea of lynch
law. Violence and lawless ven-
geance are the very doctrines for
which Czolgosz and his fellow
anarchists stand. 1t would be

Senator Jones and Gov. Clarke
spoke at Paragould one day last
week and an outsider can form
no opinion of the result by read
ing the accounts of the encounter
as told by the Soliphone and
Greene County Newsboy. 1t is
not difficult to tell how these pa
pers stand. Says the Soliphone:
"Both men had friends in the
audience but the prevailing senti-
ment was for Clarke and the in
dications are that Greene county
is in the Clarke column by good
majority. No changes Of any
consequence were made. Those
who went there Clarke men came
away Clarke men and vice versa
as to jones'
Says the Newsboy:
"Gov. Clarke was "out Of tune"
from some cause and did not
reach the expectation of his
friends.
Senator Jones, in his closing
remarks, made good use of the
time allotted him, and fired in
some very warm shot which had
a telling effect. At the close of
his rejoinder many who had been
"on the fence" came over and

The Hardy Herald objects to
the RECORDS remark that politics

public crib to come on with the

There is truly a distinct differ
ence between Senator Jones and
Gov. Clarke. Senator Jones has
held office a long time and Gov
Clarke has ran for office a long
time. If Jones is to be blamed
for holding office a long time,
Clarke is censurable for wanting
office a long time.

James P. Clarke is brainy
man; that no one will deny. But

Jones stands at the head Of his

is defeated, and the people can
see the reason why.

Gov. Clarke at each appoint

his reply at Wynne last week the

said Senator Jones, and amid
applause continued, "it may be
extravagant to say this, but l be-
lieve it,"
