RADE OF EX-CONFEDERATEs.
Ten Thousand Men I'm Line, and
Streets Packed with People who
Cheered the "Stars and Bars."

NEW ORLEANS. La. May 2--For few
hours to-day New Orleans held close to
her heart the incarnate spirit Of the Con-
federacy and for her il lived and breathed
again. This spirit came in the shape Of
parade that wound through the streets. and
it was replete with famous men of the
Confederacy.
The hour set for the great parade was
o'clock. For an hour before that time
Canal street. on which the head OF the line
Of march was formed. was a tumble. The
people pushed here and there they cheered
and waved their flags. they stood in front
of street cars and they ran before horses.
Through all this press the various organiza-
tions which were formed on Canal street.
forced their way. At o'clock a bugle's
shrill notes sounded forward, march"
There was a surge Of the ranks. a cry o.,
delight from the throng and then in close
ranks the men OF the South came on. Up
st. Charles street the column turned. pass
ing under the eyes of General Gordon too
sick to take part in the parade, and
marched away to the Lee, monument,
around half OF which IL circled and passed
on south along st. Charles avenue TO Feiic-
ity street, where the countermarch was
begun on st. Charles avenue. The Lee
side and the way was down Camp street to
Canal. where the parade disbanded.
A feature OF the parade was a beautifully
decorated float, on which were seated the
sixteen heralds of the reunion. Following
the young women were carriages In which
rpde women whose husbands had rendered
distinguished service TO the Confederacy.
They were Mrs Stonewall Jackson. Mrs.
z. Kirby Smith, Mrs. Braxton Bragg. Mrs.
Thomas j. Semmes and Mrs. John II. Rea-
gan. At the head of the veterans rode
General c. 1. Walker. commanding the de-
partment of the Army Of Northern Virginia.
The divisions OF his department. marched In
the following order: South Carolina. North
Carolina, Virginia. West Virginia and
Maryland.
General Lee. of the Army OF the Tennes-
see, rode with his staff just behind the
carriage containing Mayor Capdeville. Gen.
eral Stewart and Joseph Wheeler. Follow
ing Lee were divisions Of his department.:
Louisiana. Tennessee. Alabama Florida,
Mississippi. Georgia and Kentucky.
General Cabell, Of the Transmississippi
department, headed the last division of the
old soldiers and with him were the men OF
Texas. Indian Territory, Arkansas and
Oklahoma With each department was
carriage containing the sponsor and her
maids OF honor. About 10000 men were in
line and IL was just four hours from the
start on Canal street until the column dis
banded.
General Gordon's condition is not serious,
but ii was deemed unwise for him TO ride
in the hot sun to-day. He believes that a
short rest at home will restore his health.

less economical than private management.
and of this there can be no doubt. 1t Is
probably true even in foreign cities. and Is
doubly so in American cities where the
natural tendency is materially increased by
party politics. Mr.. Boardman concluded by
saying:
The matter may be summed up by say
ing that municipal ownership of public util-
tiles is safe and profitable only in that city
whose streets are kept perfectly clean and
in good condition; whose public buildings.
parks and other city property are kept In
thorough order and repair; whose excise
laws and all city ordinances are enforced
without fear or favor; whose police and fire
departments are conducted in the most eI-
hcient and honest manner; whose sanitary
department. is prompt and fearless; and
whose finances are managed as economic
ally and accurately as in its large business
houses. Where there is room need FOR
improvements in any of these matters that
city had best refrain from municipal owner
ship OF public utility plants
This is rather a candid confession for
gas manufacturer to make. for it virtually
admits that with an ideally perfect city
government municipal ownership and man.
agement might succeed But where is the
ideally perfect city government? The near
try is far below the prescribed standard.
Until city governments and municipal ad
ministration generally have greatly i'm
proved in this country. municipal ownership
and operation of public utilities would be
hazardous experiment. Meanwhile, as
the demand for municipal ownership seems
to be growing. private owners would do
well to heed the advice of the president of
the American Gas Lighting Association at
the annual meeting in 1902. He said:
We believe that the governing authorities
of municipalities must be brought to a
realizing sense of the importance of con-
serving vested rights, and the surest way
10 win public favor is to deserve IL. The
identity of interest idea must prevail with
panies. where ability and enterprise are
rewarded by added compensation to man
ayers and just profits to owners, and
where the merit system is found at its
best. will doubtless hold their own for a
long time TO come against any demand
for public ownership. but the best safe
guard which We have against the seeming
trend CT public opinion is our own con-
duct toward the communities we serve,
which should result from the careful study
OF the interests of the public from the atti-
tude OF good citizenship.
If private owners of public utilities would
charters, contracts and support to the peo-
pie and would give them better service
and a larger share Of confidence, they
might do much to arrest the growth of

A GAS MAN ON MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP.

A paper read by A. F. Boardman, of De-
troit. one of the visiting gas manufacturers,
took sensible view of municipal owner
ship Of gas plants. One phase of the So
cialistic tendency of the times-using the
word socialistic not in an offensive sense
lis the favoring of municipal ownership
of all public utilities. such as gas plants,
waterworks. street railroads, etc. Many
persons favor this policy for purely selfish
reasons. because they think they would
thereby get from the body polite a good
deal more than they contribute to its sup
port. while a considerable number Of good
citizens favor IL because they believe 1t
right in principle. Something can be said
on both sides of the question. but IL is not
safe to argue from the result OF municipal
ownership in English cities that IL would
succeed equally well in the United States
The differences In city government In the
two countries. growing out of political
conditions, are so great as to leave scarce
ly any ground for comparison in the mat
ter of municipal ownership. To insure the
success Of the latter there must be an alb
solute divorcement from politics. stability
and permanence of management. frst-class

that the Postofi1ce Department should not
hold up mail unless IL was ready, at a mo-
ment's notice, TO show cause TO the courts
why IL should be done. 1t is gratifying TO
know that a power exists somewhere which
may be appealed 10 for immediate and per-
emptory relief from the harsh and auto
cratic rulings which in late years have so
often emanated from the Postoffice De-
partment Take the new rule in regard TO
the use OF mutilated stamps. for instance.
We do not believe for a moment that this
absurd regulation would stand the test or
law. as il surely does not of common sense.
Should a valuable letter be held UP be-

the law has to say Of this silly and meddle-

Leading women of Wisconsin are organ
izing a new woman's suffrage movement
1t is proposed to get all the women in the
State who pay taxes to unite in protest
to the Legislature against taxation without
representation. and then to refuse to pay
taxes, thus bringing the question before
the courts. If they succeed in getting the
question before the courts they will prob
ably be told that taxation without repre-
sentation exists in the case Of others be-
sides woman as Of minor heirs. the prop
erty of non-residents, ETC.. and. in few
States, of persons unable to read and write.
The court will probably tell them that the
enjoyment OF political suffrage is not a
right by natural law, but is question of
expediency, and that until the Legislature
enacts a law providing for woman suffrage
it cannot be adjudged by the courts as a
natural right.
