A naval cadet at Boston, who was
on guard duty, was discovered with
his arm around girl, while holding
his gun with the other hand, and
was a question whether he was
guilty Of anything. He was court
martialed, but proved that he was
attending to his duty, keeping an
eye on the stores he was guarding,
Notwithstanding the disengaged
hand was around his best girl, and
he was promptly acquitted. This is
right. If every soldier could have
the girl he loves on guard duty
with him, he would do his duty
better, and would never go to sleep
on guard. If We ever have another
war, in any kind Of decent climate,
where girls can go without getting
yellow fever, the Herald is going to
see that the soldier does not go
alone, unless he desires to do so.
When you make war a sort Of
family affair. it is going to be
serious for the enemy.

THE GRAND ARMY.

Once again the tramp of the thou
sands of the Grand Army of the
Republic is heard, as, in the fortieth
anniversary of the organization,
the veterans of the civil war meet
in Minneapolis. The great pros
perity Of the country makes va
cation particularly enjoyable this
year, and so there are thousands
who have assembled from the four
quarters Of the United States, called
together by sentiment as remark
able as it is strong.
The Grand Army is a society. It
has its posts, into which members
are initiated as into other orders.
But, in the popular mind, the term
is used for that rapidly disappear
ing collection of citizen soldiery
which rushed to arms aU the call of
Abraham Lincoln to save the ma,
TONS life. Any old soldier is a
member of this large society, bound
to his fellows by the tie of common
service, and honored by the people
whether he wears a designating
button or not, or is entitled to ad-
mission into an organized post. II
has been forty-one years now since
more than a million Of such
patriots sought their homes after
the grand review, as the army
melted away into the ranks Of civil
Life and the flags were furled which
had inspired where the bullets
whistled and the shot flew.
When the matter is considered
thoughtfully it is remarkable
thing that after nearly half a
century the feeling of loyalty to
sentiment continues strong when al
the bitterness of a great civil wal
has been forgotten. The annual
meetings are occasions for excur-
sions, for summer outings. fol
visits to various cities of the land
for reunions with long separated
comrades. Much is to be credited
to the energy of railroad agents
and local committees. But, with
out the strong underlying senti
nent of patriotism, there would bt
no such gatherings. The old soldiers
life is happier because of his recol
Jections; the children are inspired
with patriotism because Of the
sight of these veterans; the nation
gains from the annual reminders O.
what happened once when it was il
danger, an example of the future
uprising should any foe attack The
flag of the United States.
And yet it might seem that the
element of sadness would be the
prevailing one, when the lona
roll of each year is recalled. Now
AID then some one comes forward
to claim honor as the youngest
soldier" Such a case is the excep-
ton. The great bulk of the army
was made up of men whose ages
averaged at least twenty years,
and probably more. There are few
veterans now living who are not
well past sixty years of age. The
final call is not far away. The
future reunions of the grand army
ale numbered. But with ali the
sadness over the abselt faces, the
veteran has a right to intense pride
as he looks about over his country
It stands high among the nations Of
the earth, and he justly may fee
that this position is to a great
degree due to the victory which he
helped to win nearly half a century
ago, when the union was saved anC

The state farm crop report for
the month Of August has not been
SO favorable for many year. The
only adverse reports from the entire
state are to the effect that in some
localities in the southern part Of
the state there has not been as
much rain as could be desired.
Some pastures have suffered in con
sequence and growth of crops re-
tarded; and the apple crop has as
usual been hurt by insects and
falling Of the immature fruit. In
general the report is exceedingly
favorable as indicating a very pro
fitable season for the farmer.

(Rep.,) announces: Congress will pass
an annexation act. Cuba will go through

long or short, according to the desires
and the capabilities of the Cubans for

Statehood. and new star Will be EN-

And then we will probably have re-
newal Of the sight of negroes in Con-
gress. We have had enough of that
sort of business. The men who advo-
cate annexation of Cuba are helping to
pile up trouble for the future. The
cause of the overthrow of Presiden:

could not do that. 1t could not doubt
the honesty OF a great majority Of the
people of the State.
The supporters of DIR. Cunningham
were no less honest. But men promin-
ent among Mr.. Corners supporters were
cred commonly honest. The Cunning
ham supporters and newspapers were
arraigned as the property and the tools
of the corporations of the State. They
were denounced. with an unparalleled
intolerance. as standing in the way OF
the only really pure political crusade
waged in Alabama since the war. They
were politically prescribed and verbal,
damned
Mr.. Corners supporters, and honest
men they were. too. found it expedient
to pursue Cunningham men and Cunning

Cunningham newspapers were bribed by
the railroads or that Cuningham's sup
lorters were hired to secure the rule

sctntilla of proof was advanced to show
that a Cunningham man was less pa
triotfc or less honest than a Conner man.
WHATEVER may have been his affilia-
TORS IN the campaign. no well informed
man now believes that DR.. Cunningham
was made . candidate for Governor by
the corporations or that his campaign
was financed by the corporations Cor
poration men were mere conspicuous

were in supporting DR.. Cunningham

not spent by DR.. Cunningham. 1t
would be well within the limits of the
truth to say that where DR.. Cunningh
ar any Of his friends spent one dollar
in his contest. twenty-five dollars were
spent to insure the election OF Mr.. Co.
mer.
Now that the primary is over. the
verdict returned and accepted. 1t is but
simple Justice to men and newspapers
who were maligned as hired tools of the
corporations. that the people of Ala
bama should consider these matters
and realize that If they believed

were deceived by the intolerance of those
