EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: You are
certainly doing noble work for the cause
of justice to the old soldier, and he, at
least those who were in active service, will
never get WHAT they honestly deserve.

CONFEDERATE AUTHORITIES ALARMED.
The Confederate authorities ut Rich
mond and throughout the whole South
now realized the great Importance of Gen.
Sherman's movement and recognized the
power of his veteran army.
President Davis's offensive campaign
against Sberman's lines of communication
had failed to force this great warrior back
out of the territory he had so laboriOusly
won. The withdrawal of Hoods army
from his front to engage in an offensive
campaign in Middle Tennessee had no
terrors to Gen. Sherman. On the con-
trary, he regarded that movement as a
fatal military blunder on the part of the
Confederate authorities.
The most able and distinguished officers
were now assigned to duty in Georgia.

Again we are reminded Of how
quickly our government and our peo-
pie forgot the cry Remember the
Maine" which rang through the coun-
every warship in the spring and sum-
mer of 1898. The Cuban government,
whose property our neglect has al
lowed the battered hulk of the Maine
to become, recently invited bids for
the removal of the wreck which is 4
menace to navigation in Havana har-
Dor. Only one offer was received and
that was rejected as unsatisfactory.
1t was from Spanish firm, by the
way. and probably the Cuban govern
ment thought that since Spaniards
sank the ship others should be entrust-
ed with the task of raising her. And
so the noble battleship will continue to
repose in the slime of foreign harbor,
American sailors. 1t is nothing short
of desecration, and is a painful and
humiliating illustration of the in
difference and ingratitude of a repub-
lie. The American people would have
approved almost any expense on the
part of government in raising the
wreck, both from the sentiment of the
thing and in order that new light
might have been gained on the method
of it's destruction.
