DR.. McIlwaine's Address.

Pursuant to notice published in the
HERALD, Dr. Richard McIlwaine,
representative of Prince Edward in the
Constitutional Convention, addressed
a large audience in the courthouse last
Monday.
The Doctors address was mainly up.
on the subject Of the Conventions work,
and the audience was representative
Of all classes Of our people, and from
every section Of the county. He laid
stress on the fact that while there were
some features in the constitution be did
not approve and had worked against,
yet there was enough Of the good and
desirable incorporated in the proposed
new Constitution to satisfy him with
the whole. The Doctor believed the new
Constitution should be proclaimed AS
the organic law by the Convention,
and so gratified were his hearers at the
Conventions work, as recited 10y their
able representative, that a resolution
was unanimously carried endorsing his
course throughout and insiructing him
to vote favoring the proclaiming Of the
new Constitution

liz I,TnM1AN CANAL.

Last week the advocates Of the Nicara,
qua route had their innings, and they
managed to damage the showing of the
Panama people very palpably. The strong
points against the Panama route are:
]. The dOubtfulmcss Of the title to be
obtained from the Panama Company:
:. The dOubtfulneSs of proper conces-
sions from the United States Of Colombia.
which has now two Presidents and Gov
ernments;
3. The badness Of the Panama harbor:
4. The enormous expense of construc-
ton, and doubifulness when constructed
OF the Bahio dam;
.. The unhcalthiness of the location.
and the probability that there never will
be any Development Of population along
the route;
&. The greater distance from the coast
Of the United States.
The Nicaragua people have very clev-
crly countered the ''sharp-curve' objec-
tiOn, by showing that the Panama route
has one curve sharper and more danger
Gus than anything on their line.
The Minister from Colombia promises
us a treaty which will settle the question
Of possession Of the territory through
which the canal is to pass, but he does
not promise that we can acquire the same
definite rights that we are to obtain from
Nicaragua.

THERE has been much misapprehension
of the visit of the G. A. L. National Pen
sion Committee TO this city, and they have
been overwhelmed with correspondence.
which it is impossible for them TO an
swer. The same is true of the Com
mander-in-Chief. Neither the Command
er-in-Chief nor the committee could take
up individual cases, and prosecute them
TO an allowance. Nor could they procure
information as 10 status, furnish evidence,
and correspond with the claimants as to
their cases, no matter how meritOrious
these seemed. Their duty here was sim
ply to examine into the workings of the
Pension Bureau, and report to the Presi-
dent as to the same. They desired cor
respondence which would throw light on
this, but there their duty ended. Com
rades who have written to them must not
expect answers to their letters, as this
would involve the establishment of a reg
ular bureau Of correspondence. and pen
sion agency. The Commander-in-C Chief
and committee deeply sympathize with al
comrades who have not had their rightful
claims allowed, but they are working for
the good Of the whole body of veterans
and their widows, and cannot devote them
selves to individual cases.

She had brought from the COlonefs
quarters white tablccloth, which she
spread over the head of the table, and
placed on it for the Deacon china plates
and cups. with silver forks and spoons.
She had delegated Uncle Ephraim to
act as waiter. and had him attired in a
black frock coat she had obtained some
where in the city. He had white gloves
on, his hair cut and combed, and his face
clean shaved.
As soon as Pete came in she seized him,
and despite his angry protests, washed his
face and hands and combed his hair with
her own hands, and saw that his nails
were clean. Then she made him put on
his parade blouse. button it to the chin
and carefully brush K, and his shoes.

BUILD UP THE Sons or VETERANS

Commander Israel W Stone, of the
Department Of the Potomac, in his order
for the Department Encampmcnt, says:
''The National Eucampmcnt at Cleye
land took steps for closer relation be
tween the Grand Army of the Republic
and the Sons Of Veterans, and the Com
Inander-in-Chicf Of that organization will
meet in this city with the Grand Army
at its coming session. Ii is obvious that
the time has come when the Grand ARM
should prepare 10 leave its precious mem
orics IN the keeping Of our sons. We owe
it 10 this patriotic organization 10 induce
our Sons 10 come forward and join its
ranks; we have long neglected this plain
duty, but now let the comrades IN this
Department urge upon their boys TO join
the Order; let us enter upon vigorous
campaign IN that direction. With that
object IN view, | have appointed a com.
mittee, which, it is hoped, will devise
some measure TO help in that direction. -
This is good and timely, and we earnest.
ly hope that every Department Command.
er in the g. \. II. will take similar action.
We need the Sons of Veterans built IN
TO its greatest possible strength, and the
country needs it, so that it is a patriotic
duty TO help on in the work.
A strong Order of Sons Of Veterans will
be bulwark Of loyalty against which the
waves of Anarchy, sedition and all forms
OF disloyalty will beat in vain.

MORGAN'S MEN UNDER DUKE.
By GEORGE DALLAS MosGRovE.

One OF the dramatic chapters of the
closing days of the civil war has never
been fully written, being overshadowed by
larger things that were taking place.
After the death of Morgan, at Green
vile, Tenn, in September, 1868, Duke, the
second in command throughout the mil
itary career of the great raider, reorgan,
lied what was left of the force and con
tinued to lead it until the closing scene
of the great rebellion.
After the surrender of Lees army at
Appomattox this force, refusing to aban-
don its flag became the escort of the flee
ing official remnants Of the Confederacy
until, finally. it wound up its career, prac-
tically, with the capture of Davis in
Georgia.
Mr.. Mosgrove will close his interesting
series, in which he has followed Morgan 5
life in field and prison, with an account
of the final operation of his command un-
der Duke, and we believe that our read
ers will find it as fully interesting as any
of the valuable contributions he has pre-
viously made to the history of the war
in the Middle West from the Confederate
side.
We shall begin the publication of the
narrative at an early date.
The National tribune., 1902-02-13

ing years is yet unable to partake of the
tounties which this Government has so
generously intended for her National he
roes."
This is as strong a case as has been
presented to Congress, and yet every mem
Der could present equally strong ones from
his own district, showing the Commission
er's absolute heartlessness i'll dealing with
veterans.
The fatal defect with Mr.. Burkett's
amendment is in the person of the Com
missioner. A man like Mr.. Evans would
find some way to nulify it, as he has
found a way to nullify all legislation so
far secured to compel him to do his duty.
Is there any reason for thinking that Mr..
Evans would show any more haste in put
ting claimants on the roll Mt $12 month
than he has at Sc?
Any real reform in the Pension Bureau
must begin with getting rid of Mr.. Evans.

COmmander-in-C Chief Torrance, Col. Rob

Hampshire. A press Of other duties pre-
vented, much to their regret and the re
gret Of the committee, the attendance of
Gen. John c. Black, of Illinois, and Gen.
JAS. Il. Carnahan, OF Indiana.
The committee called on the President
and the Secretary of the Interior, and
spent several days in painstaking inyesti-
cation of the operations of the Pension
Bureau. They went TO the Bureau, heard
the Commissioners story in fullest detail.
and examined a large number of cases.
They also had mass of matter submit
ted 10 them from various sources in the
country, all of which was taken into CON
sidcratiOn. The committee adjourned at
the end of the week. and the result of
their Investigations will be digestcd by
each member, and q conclusion arrived Mt
by correspondence, though il is not im2rob-
able that another session may bee called
'iu the near future. possibly at the time
the Commander-in-C comes to Wash
ipgton-Feb. Ito visit the Annual En-
campmcnt Of the Department OF the Po-
tomac, G. A. *. 1t is hoped that the
full committee viii he present then.
Until the committee arrives at its CON
clusions, and these are agreed upon and
signed by each member of the committee,
absolutely nothing will be given out. all
reports to the contrary notwithstanding.
This is the correct course, and will be ap-
proved by all comrades.
