Every foot of our beloved southland is distin l gulshed by their courage, their sublime , fortitude, their self-denial, their un wavering devotion and patriotism, and sanctified by the shedding of their blood. ‘Time and nature have had their course' In diminishing tho numbers of those who surrendered at the close of the great civil war. but neither time nor nature can relieve those who survive of the du ties they owe to the memory of our un recorded dead, to our posterity, to our beloved southland and to ourselves. We are here today to discharge as we may those duties and to renew old friendships forged in the white heat of common suf ferings and hallowed and sanctified by the conscious conviction that in the hour of trial and peril we were true to the constitution as it was framed and band ed down to us by Washington and h>s compatriots. We are here also to pay tribute to the noble band of southern women, the mothers and daughters of the confederacy. “If we would not have our very clill dren in the near future, if not ashamed and apologizing for us, then unable to de fend us, we must not be idle in preserv ing. recording and teaching the real tacts upon which tho righteousness of our ac tions must depend.

S< ■cssinn meant disunion so far as the seceding states were concern'd, but it neitner meant war nor rebel’ion. It meant a union intact so far as all the states were concerned which did not secede, and a union, too, under the eonstitui ion. As the states entered the union, each und< r acts cf ratification of its own, so seces sion meant the resumption by each state of Its <i-4egated powers, by repealing the acts under which ' ach seceding state entered the compact; but the repeal of euch acts did not and could not alft 't the acts by which the remaining stat, s entered into the confederacy. “1 affirm, if odium is to attach to tho south forth" act of secession, it must attach also to the great north ami east where it was for polite al. economical and industrial reasons, sedulously _ agitated pud i■.•••*■.■ aled up t” tie Mexican war.

Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure is a great blood and heart tonic which regulates the ac tion of the heart, enriches the blood and im proves the circulation. “Some time ago I was suffering severely with heart trouble.

Havana, May 20.-The celebration of Cuba’s independence, the first anniversary of the establishment of the Cuban repub lie, begun at midnight with the illumina tion of the fronts of the principal clubs, the sending up of rockets and tiie screech ing of steam whistles. The weather today was Ideally clear even for Cuba. Business was completely suspended and the streets were thronged with people. -President Palma, accompanied by the cabinet officers and city and provincial of ficials, drove to the punta, where he re viewed the members of the police and fire departments, and then accompanied by, Secretary of State Zaldo he was driven up the Prado to the palace, continually ac knowledging the salutations of the crowds which lined that thoroughfare. At noon the guns of Cab’anas fortress announced that exactly a year had elaps ed since the birth of the Cuban republic and immediately thereafter the rural guards and artillery paraded on the plaza In front of the palace and were revh w'-'d by the president. Root Cables to Palma. Washington, May 20.—Secretary Root today sent President Palma, of t üba, the following telegram of congratulation. "Accept hearty congratulations upon the first anniversary of the establishment ot the independent government of Cuoa. am upon the strength and wisdom with whi' ii you have conducted your great office. i !le year of successful administration and i'- spect for law has confounded the ene mies of Cuba and strengthened tin coin age and hope of her friends. ’> ou li tv ‘ my sincere and earnest wishes for continued prosperity.” Secretary Root received the foliotvlng reply from President Palma: “The government and people of tiie United States are entitled to the ever lasting gratitude of the people- of Cuba who midst the happiness they enjoy today do not forget how much they are obliged to the Aemrlcan people for the share they look in helping to gain independence and freedom, and send to them, through me, their sincerest wishes for the uninter rupted prosperity of the gre.-i.t republic and the personal welfare of president Roosevelt and tiie members of his cabinet. At the same time. I send you and family the warmest testimony of my sincere friendship.” TREATY SIGNED BY CUBANS. Permanent Convention Has Been Ac cepted at Last. Havana. May 22.- The permanent treaty between the United States and Cuba, In which are all the provisions of tho Platt amendment, was signed this after noon. The act of signing the treaty occurred at half-past 4 this afternoon In the office of the secretary "f state. ’!'>■■ signers were Secretary of State Zaldo and Itnitcd States Minister Squiers, who were consti tuted special plenipotentiaries for that purpose. The permanent treaty contains no pro vision for its abrogation and no extran eous conditions of any kind. It seemly in corporated tho entire Plait, amendment into the form of a treaty. The length ot time consumed by the negotiations was principally due to tiie fact that the Cuban government desire,l to include in the treaty various extraneous conditions, es pecially one to the effect that there, should be no intervention in Cuban affairs by the United States except through the initia tive of the president of Cuba. AH these conditions were rejected. The Associated Press correspondent saw a number of senat'pft with refer ence to the prospects of the ratification of both the permanent and naval sta tions treaties during tins sission of con gress, but they were not inclined to be communicative. Il remains evident th.it there is an inclination to allow the treaties to go over this se- >u. It is lleved that an urgent m> ssage from President Palma which will accompany the sending of today's tr sty to the sen ate will -have a strong Influence in the direction of ratification.
