The OLD SOLDIERS
IN COLUMBIA.
THIS MEETING WAS ONE OF The
GRANDEST EVER HELD.
Business Meetings Parade =
Spectacular Drama-ReCeptiOn-
Reunion Ball.

tHuI oue1y was STGdC udy III
Columbia. In the morning the
business meetings were held,
with all their good speeches, res
olutions and songs. The idea of
effecting a closer union among
the veterans and among sons of
veterans seemed to be the topic
of special interest. Capt. w. H.
Edwards, of Chester, made a
strong plea for the better keep
ing of records.
But the crowning event of the
day was the parade in the after
noon at 5 o'clock. Headed by
Commander Carwile and the
sponsor with her maid of honor
in a carriage, the great parade
left the post office and marched
to the Capitol. After Gen. Car
vile, came Governor Hayward
and his staff, all mounted. Then
two companies of U. S. troops
with the Artillery Band of Char
lesion. Following these were
fully six hundred little girls,
ranging from six to ten years of
age, marching in two columns.
The old soldiers. great in num-
bers still, and with the spirit of
'61. came after these little girls.
When the capitol was reached,
the u. S. troops parted ranks,
and, with arms at salute, allowed
the little girls and the veterans
to file through and ascend the
steps of the State House. AL
ready seated upon these steps
were hundreds of beautiful girls
and young ladies, wearing the
colors of the Confederacy, and
over all fioated the great flag
under which so many of the
South's noble men fought and
died.
Then was the stirring. scene!

DRUNK; MUST NOT BE HANGED
Murderer Saved From Moose by De-
cision Of Colorado Supreme
Court.

Denver, May To- Patrick Bren-
nan of Leadvllle escaped the hang
mans moose today when the state
supreme court decided that a drunk
en- man should not be held RESPONSE
BILE for the degree of his crime The
decision. which reverses the lower
court and orders a new trial. enun-
ciated a principle new in judicial
practice in this state. that "the de-
gree of the crime depends upon
whether the killing was premeditat-
ed and the question of drunkenness
becomes material in determining
whether the person was capable Of
premeditation." Brennan killed Sa-
rah Lowney. whom he was to have
married because an old suitor reap
peared. The lower court refused to
make allowance for his intoxication.

THE RUSSIAN DOUMA.

The Douma now assembling at st
Petersburg is in no proper sense a
parliamentary body such as is known
in other countries. II will have no
power to initiate legislation and can
only pass on the suggestions OF the
car. The czar can dissolve II at his
pleasure.
But, as says the Nashville Banner,
cramped as the powers of this body
may be. its assembling denotes a
marked advance towards liberalism
in Russia. Even to allow the chosen
representatives of the people to as
semble in a body of recognized legal
standing is a great step forward.
Some twenty years ago, or even with
in a shorter time. 1t would have been
treason in Russia to have publicly
expressed such opinions concerning
governmental reforms as the large
majority of the elected members of
the Douma are known to hold The
fact that the people of Russia on the
first. opportunity to vote elected rep
resentatlves favoring constitutional
government 10 significant of a pro-
gresslve sentiment that is likely to
gain in strength until the czar shall
be forced to yield TO the Inevitable
The converting of the first popular
assembly in Russia is a great event,
and its novelty, as well as the mo-
mentous issues that seem to hang
thereon, causes a tension of public
feeling in st. Petersburg, where the
populace have already been highly
wrought upon by the occurrences of
the past year. The danger to Russia
Is from the extreme factions and the
peace and safety of the empire rest
with the Moderate party. The Reac-
tionaries will endeavor to have the
Douma dissolved, but the Radicals
would attempt to make such action
a pretext for revolution. Already
there is talk of plots to assassinate
the czar when he. goes bsfore the
newly-assembled parliament to make
the speech from the throne. Nothing
would prove a greater hlndranoe to
the progress Of liberal government
than such an attempt.
II the bomb-throwing nihilist ele-
ment could be entirely eliminated In
Russia the advance towards a stable
democracy would be more rapid and
assured. The irrational radicalism OF
this element and its propensity to
violence make reactlonaries of many
who do not distinguish between the
extreme doctrines and those of the
Constitutional Democrats. The Radi-
calls, so far as the ultimate effect of
their preaching and practice goes.
are among the strongest supporters
Of autocracy.
The proceedings of the Douma. lin
tied as its scope of action is. will be
with great interest the
world over Its assembling marks an
epoch in the history OF Russia and |
progress in that country
