Losses Id the War of 1901 65.


In speech in the house last week,
Mr.. Warnock of Ohio, gave some
facts relating to the war for and
against the independence of the
Southern States which are of general
and lasting interest. We give the
substance OF some of his most strik-
ing statements, all of which are
worth preserving for reference.
There were 1882 general engage
ments, battles and skirmishes, in
which at least a regiment was en-
gagged on either side. There were 112
general engagements, in which the loss
on one side or The other exceed ded 500
killed and wounded. Including both
sides half a million men were we're
mortally wounded on the battle field,
and a million permanently disabled.
The lcsses are compared with those
in European wars. In the famous
charge of the Light Brigade at Bala-
klava, there was loss of 247 out Of
673 men, or 367 per cent. There
we're $50 regiments in the American
warts on each side-that lost over
40 per cent. In the Franto.P .PrussIan

lodged in DR., Gibsons brain killing
him instantly. The ladies, falling or
his PROSTATE form, began to scream
when the soldiers battered in the door,
rudely thrust the ladies aside, and siez
ing by one of his feet, dragged him
savagely out with the gattling, and said
they would cut his head off and take ii
to McNutt But they were prevailed
upon by the ladies not to do this, and
fearing reinforcements, rapidly rode
away.
Perhaps for the sake of patriotism,
these old embers should not be raked
over, but for the sake of history, for the
sake of those dear ones who freely poured
out their blood that we might live we
ought to know the truth. H.

licans to play in maintaining the sub

licans to play in maintaining the sub
ordination of the democratic party as a
mere party of opposition. The party
in Mississippi and elsewhere should
shake her magnificent limbs of contain
mating influences offered with insidu-
GUS hypocracy. She should demand no
half allegience of her followers, if she
is to rise renewed from the crucible of
later reVerses, and least Of all should
she permit the skulking spies of her
political enemy a voice within her
camp or councils. This necessity of
neutralizing the banetul influence Of
federal patronage may not be so appar
ent in Mississippi as elsewhere from
standpoint of mere expediency, but il
exists none the less, if the high tone OF
strict sincerity and the high standard
of party loyalty are not to become mere
memories.
1t is hardly necessary to point out
that Democrats in Mississippi, that
magnificent body of men who have
solved more problems that fall to the lot
of such state organizations to solve as
rule resent any trace of republican in
fuence in the control of state affairs
and will coutinue to do So Mr.. vii
sons itching to make his supposedly
Italian hand felt in everything coming
up around jackson is we'll known, but
we are constrained to believe that our
state officers appreciate his true position
This, in fact, is being generally recog-
nized; his opposition is being genera lily
courted by high democratic politicians
who recognize the just sense of the
great uncontaminated mass of the peo-
pie on the subject.
We regret that so small man as E.
s. Wilson has been placed by fortuitous
circumstances in an attitude that calls
for such an editorial as this, fol we
greatly fear many unthinkingly ascribe
more Importance to the man than he
really deserves. We have chosen, using
him as a mere illustration, to warn the
members Of our party in this state
against an insiduous influence that is
generally at work to its detriment and
to reafirm our opinion that the demo
Gratis of Mississippi remain to day what
they have always been, devoted to prin-
ciple, answering in their honor, unfal
tering in their standards of right, con-
stant in their demand for political sin
cerity and in their contempt for treach
cry: and, last of all, untouched by the
crumbs of the little federal patronage
that must of necessity fall within their
borders

The Conquered Banner

By the Rev. ]. A. Ryan, Catholic Priest Of
Knoxville, Diocese OF Nashville, Tenn.
Furl that Banner, for tis aCeary,
Round its staff tbs dropping dreary;
Furl it, fold it, it is best;
For there's not a man to wave it,
And there's not sword to save it,
And there's not one left to lave it
nj the blood which heroes gave it;
FurI it, hide it-let it rest.
Take that Banner down, tbs tattered,
Broken is its staff and shattered,
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
Over whom it foated high;
Oh /! tits hard for US to fold it,
Hard to think there's none to hold it,,
Hard that those who once unrolled it.,
Now must furl it with a sigh.
Furl that Banner-furl it sadly
Once ten thousands hailed it gladly,
And ten thousands wildly, madly,
Swore it would forever wave
Swore that fOeman's sword could
never
Hearts like theirs entwined dissever,
Till that flag would float forever
O'er their freedom or their grave
Furl it, for the hands that grasped it.,
And the hearts that fOndIy clasped it
Cold and dead are lying low;
And the Banner, 1t is trailing,
While around it sounds the wailing
OF its people in their woe;,
For though conquered, they adore it,
Love the cold dead hands that bore,
Weep for those who fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore it,
And oh! wildly they deplore it,
Now to furl and fold it so.
Furl that banner, true tits CORY,
Yet tits wreathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story,
Though its folds are in the dust:
For its fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down the ages
Furl its folds though now We
must
Furl that banner, softly, slowly,
Treat it gently-it is holy
For it droops above the dead;
Touch it nOt-unfold il never,
Let it droop there turled forever,
For its peoples hopes are dead,
