Those who followed the fortunes

for the union. This was shown and
admitted during the last Spanish
American skirmish and is now rec
ognized everywhere Twenty years
ago Confederate reunions were
frowned upon by the Northern peo-
pie. but now adherents Of that lost
and o-be-resurrected cause
could march from Maine To Califor-
mia waving tattered and faded Con
federate flags and the people would
smile good humoredly or cheer them
on their purely sentimental journey.
And a people without sentiment
are a people without a past, and
when that attribute is taken from
them they will deserve to fail as ma

able or capable of handling questions
