North side square, Butler Missouri. A Poor Spirited Soldier, National Commander Walker of the Grand Army of the Republic has had himeelf interviewed and deliver ed of the following statement with regard to the proposition to havea grand parade of the Blue and the Gray veterans in New York. He said; “There is not a loyal Union soldier who would approye of such a thing. Loyalty deserves its reward and treason and treachery should always be punished There is a broad dis tinction between Union soldiers and Confederates and so long as I am at the head of the G. a. R. this distine- ; tion shall be observed as far as this | organization is concerned. I would not fora minute favor any sugges tion that would offer to place Union and Confederate soldiers side by side in parade wearing blue and gray uniforms, even though they both march under the flag of the United States.” In the first place, it is to ke re- } | posed New York parade. More than all, Walker is guilty of a deliberate and malicious slander when he intimates that the ex-Con- ‘ federates’ cause was one of treasen acd treachery. How were they treacherous? How even were they | treasonable? have not sought any such thing as | this parade, and are in no manner, shape or form responsible for the idea. The New York Sun was the author of the plan, making the suggestion last year, shortly after the meeting of the G.A R. at Louisville, and extraordinary degree of charity, mu tual respect and fraternal feeling manifested by both the Union guests and their ex Confederate hosts on that remarkable and touching occa sion. The Sun seemed to think that. inasmuch as the ex Confederates had The black Republican South haters, the scheming politicians who hasten- ed to turn the results of the war to their advantage as soon as the last gun was fired, tried by every means in their power to cast all the odium, humiliation acd actual injury upon the fallen South that they could. If the South had been guilty of treason or treachery, they would have tried Jefferson Davis and cordemned him in order to forever stigmatize and stamp the lost cause as a wrongful cause in the eyes of the world and of the future historian. It was eager ly proposed and advocated, but their legal advisers warned them against it, and even with all the prestige and momentum of success and pow membered that the ex Confederates | °° their side, they dared not risk a judgment of the Supreme Ccurt of the United States; and so their prey slipped through their fingers, and |the example and precedent they sought to establish came to naught and fell to the ground of its own weakness. These are historical facts and doubtless inspired thereto by the (Gommandsng Walken: can}nct:tailico know them.

A. R. reunion the most memorable in its history, it would be a graceful and appropriate thing for their ex Union guests to return the compliment this year, and by this great public demonstration at New York to proclaim to the whole country the declaration by the men who did the fighting that the wer was over, and that this was once more in very truth, in feeling as well as in name, a reunited country. The Sun's suggestion was so well received by the country at large that the New York Mail and Express grew green with envy and determin- ed to work the mine on its own ac count, and so it changed the date of the parade from the Fourth of July, as the Sun had proposed, to Memo rial day. There the matter has rested, and whatever the New Yorkers may have done, the men of the South have not ‘lifted a finger, or givena sign of their desire to promote the scheme. Commander Walker has therefore been gu ofa and un nit provoked insult t n toa. More than that ker, in our opinion, is also guilty of an outra- geous slander upon his own men when he says that soldier would approve of such a thing.” Loyal Union soldiers—bet ter soldiers, we will warrant. than Walker ever dared be—-have ere this paraded with ex Confederates on many occasions, notably at the last encampment of the G. A. R.; and there is no reason why they should not be so with such a laudable pur- pose in view as underlies the pro- “no loyal Union were just as conscientious, as loyal and as true to their sense of right as the Union meu were to theirs. The ion as to constitutional rights and liberties. Each side was honest in its convictions, and proved that hon esty with its best and bravest blood. Lives were lavished as freely as the generous clouds of summer losa their myriads of rain drops, to pro | serye a perishing land. An All Wise Providence determined the issue in fayor of the North. No man can deny that the South has accepted the result in good faith, with a con- stancy ne less admirable in defeat than the heroic valor ot het son in} is the} the battles’ thickest That story. But no man can truthfully say that the Southern men were not as honest in their acts and beliefs as the Northern men were in th and they are entitled to the same respect whether conquerors or con- quered. In truth, this man Walker is only a type of the “Palsy” Fairchild no toriety seekers, extremist will always find fol’owers, and so prostitutes his manliness to his vanity. But a soldier who strikes a fallen foe is universally esteemed a coward; and when’ to that act of cowurdice he adds base and baseless slander, his heart must bea black and noi- some den of unmanly and wicked thoughts and impulses that come writhing and darting venom, like snake and reptiles, from his nm in words like those of Comm: Walker’s.—Kansas City Times may hav. croup and when it comes you ough to know that Parks cough Syruy is the best cure for it.

Immediately after) jthat recognition of the Southern, Confederacy, on declared neutrality, Spain issued an order to the captain general of Cuba to open the ports of | Cuba to ships bearing the Confeder- | ate flag, and to grant to shins cerry ing the Confederate flag all the priv ileges of the most fayored nations. | Under that order Confederate priva teers captured our merchant ships and carried them into Cuban ports where their prizes were protected by | Spain. Ninetenths of the prizes captured by the Confederate cruisers and privateers were thus protected in Cuban ports. “It is generally assumed that in the ten years’ war, from 1868 to 1878—the last struggle of the Cu bans for independence—that the Cu bans were finally conquered by Spain This is not true. The present Capt. Weyler was in command for a great- er portion of that war and the effort to subdue the insurgents was as complete a failure at the beginning f the ninth year as it hes been at the close of the first year of this war. | Spain in the ninth year called off her butchers and sent over the Captain General Campos, who declared a truce and invited a conference which resulted in the regzotiation of a} treaty of peacy, as much a treaty of peace as was ever negotiated between | nations. Campos contracted in the name of Spain to give Cuba substan tial autonomy, or home rule, leaving Spain inthe relative postion to- ward Cuba that England now occu- | pies to the Transvaal, the power of! dealing only with foreign nations. “Cuba thus trusted Spain and the insurgents laid down their arms The sequel was very short. With] the Cubans disarmed and Spain | once in control of the island Spain repudiated every agreement of the| | | | treaty and from that time until the) breaking out of the present rebellion | Cuba sent delegation after delega.| tion to Madrid appealing for those things which she had won and which Spain had stolen, and appealed in| vain.” | Dying From Sunstroke.

Looked Like a Whitewash, Carthage, Mo., Feb. 27.—To day the county committee of the popu- list party met at Brock’s hall to hear reports of the committee ap- pointed to hear charges of boodling against some of the leaders. Some were charged with selling out the last cempaigu to the republicans The committee made a mild report exonerating those under a cloud, and it was accepted. A lively time was! had, as it was charged that an at- tempt was made to fix things to suit the boodling faction, and some left the hall declaring that the pariy admit that there had been any quar- rel, and said that some who wanted to get in were regularly voted down.
