WHEELER AND THE VETERANS.

GONE DAYS AGO a story was sent
y out from New Orleans TO the effect
that General Joseph Wheeler was
Kissed and jeered out OF a reunion Of
confederate veterans in which he ap-
peared wearing the uniform of an Off
Ger Of the United States army. On its
face the story was hard to credit be
cause it was so utterly at variance
with the sentiment Of the new south,
but it was told with such a wealth Of
circumstanfial detail that It found
many believers.
The Herald RETAINED from comment
at the time in the belief that the report
would be denied. That belief has been
justified. 1t has developed that there
was hardly a word Of truth in it. Cen
eral Wheeler did appear at the reunion
In a United States uniform. ard that is
as far as the facts went. Instead OF
being greeted with jeers and Kisses. he
was greeted with cheers.
AS a confederate veteran Of high and
honorable standing General Wheeler
was entitled TO the respect Of his former
comrades, no matter what sort Of cloth
ing he wore. More certainly was he
entitled to respect because he wore a
Union uniform, for Wheeler is a Union
veteran now as well as a confederate
veteran The south, and especially the
former southern soldiers, are as loyal
today as the old soldiers Of the north.
These days the people Of the entire
country have no patience with men on
either side who wave red shirts and at
tempt to revive dead issues. The last
vestige OF disloyalty in the south. If
any stil existed, was wiped out during
the war with Spain. Many an old con
