Telephone Companies Consolidate

Manager Beal of Boston and .;u-
perintendent Butler of Burlington of
the New England Telephone Co.
were in Ludlow last week negotiat-
ing with the Ludlow Telephone Co.
F. W. Agan, president Of the local
company, says in the Tribune that
although the papers are not yet
signed it is practically sure thing
that the local company will control
the New England exchange of both
Ludlow and Proctorsville, the en-
change office probably being at
Bates creamery. Immediately after
the signing of the papers, which
will probably be done this week, the
change will he made. The contract
limits this arrangement to five
years.

President Roosevelt has received
a protest from the governor Of Lou
isiana against the military camp al.
legged to be maintained in that state
by British agents for the purpose OF
supplying mules and horses to the
British army in South Africa. The
president has ordered an investiga.
ton, which under the circumstances
does not seem to have come any too
soon. The visit of Major General
Sir Richard Stewart, which was
announced as an "inspection" Of the
"British military establishment in
this country" may have had some
thing to do with attracting official
attention, but popular opinion has
held for some time that the United
States as a neutral nation was doing
a great deal toward prolonging a
wretched war in South Africa. The
New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
Investigation has at length proved
beyond shadow of doubt what
every one here has Individually be-
lieved for two years, namely, that
the soil of Louisiana is being per-
verted into a means by which pow
ertul nation may work its merclless
will upon numerically weak, but
truly heroic, people. 1t is now
known of all men that Port Chal.
mettc is, and has for months been, a
British military camp, and that this
camp is furnishing the British army
in South Africa with the essential
sinews of war.

HoNoRED OUR HEROIC DEAD.

Once more the people of the South
land have covered with flowers the
graves of the heroes who died for a
cause most just, most holy, and anoth-
er Memorial Day has strengthened the
love we hold for our dead. In this tri-
bute of love to departed heroes the
South stands peculiarly alone; 1t is the
day of her sorrow and her Joy, and she
can share it with none besIde-none
save he whose heart beats responsive
to hers must dare intrude upon the
precincts of her holy grief; none others
may share with her the JOY of record
unsullied and altogether glorious. Her
martial victories, her defeat, and the
splendid triumphs growing ont of de-
feat constitute her peculiar heritage, to
which she points as the prou lest
trophy of race upon whose footsteps
glory has attended from the birth of the
Republic to the day her star set in APP
parently hopeless gloom upon the field
of Appomatox. The valor of her sons
made their country great for three
quarters of century, when her sun
went into an eclipse and darkness set
tied about her majestic form for Pc
Rod. 1t was not the first time in human
history when might, with bloody hand
and naked sword, interviewed to arbi-
trate the issue between right and
wrong; nor was it singular that in the
long struggle that ensued the God oil
Battles was on the side of the heaviest
artillery Right has never yet relied
upon the sword for it's chief argument,
nor has sheer physical force ever been
powerful enough to disturb the mag
nifcent equlpoise of eternal truth anC
justice. Munitions of war and pre-
ponderance of brute force have settled
policies; but amid the shouting of the
captains and the thunder of war anC
the fierce huzzas of victory truth has
stood undisturbed, like a stately and
polished plinth, pointing forever into
the open heaven and calmly awaiting
the day of vindIcation. And so thu
men of the South have patiently bidet
the fury of the blast that swept owe
their desolated land, disdaining tt
truckle 20 the Establishments of mailed
power, calmly defying the poisoned
shafts of hate and malignity, and con
fidently waiting for the verdict of time
which will sweep aside the refuge o
lies and, unawed by the sword, undis
turbed by power, will establish tn,
metes and bounds in accordance will
eternal truth and justice. From thu
verdict they have nothing to fear, ant
supremacy confident in the integrity O
her defenders and of the righteousness
of the cause for which they drew then
gallant swords, the men and maidenI
gather with holy reverence to bedecl
with the pure flowers of spring thu
graves of their immortal s1res
