Hot summer time is nearly here, t
and we will once more feel the need of j)Ut
a cool and shady park. That Union ^ .
now needs a park, and needs it badly,
goes without saying. Union is growing
at a very rapid rate, and the lar- U
ger it gets the more need for a park, fern
What pleasure is there to gain an per
hour from the worry and press of busi- Si
ness in the afternoon, to find only snul
the hot, broiling sun to greet you as cent
you step from your door, nowhere to Ui
go to snpnd a pleasant hour in the weig
open air? Wo do hope that an earn- thou
est effort will be made to secure a and.
desirable location and that a park be A
laid off. It will be a great help to all
the town and a boon to the citizens, pack

We have the following from our of
Washington correspondent which we
think is pertinent and well put:
"Democratic Senators deserve the ma
thanks of the party, and of the coun- j.
try, for the able manner iu which cur
they are getting the facts about the fec,
Philippines before the public. When
the debate on the Philippines began
the Republican Senators poohpoohed 1
anything that the Democrats could mo
say about abuses in the Philippines, sou
and announced that the Democrats
would bo allowed to do all the talk- ^ 11
\ng, but now they have changed their e
tvtne, ai d their ablest speakers are the
preparing speeches in defense of the the
administration. Why? Because the ^
Democrats have made it plain that
the administration needs defense, ,ne
and needs it had. They are afraid to bel
bring Muj, Gardener, the army officer i fow
who was governor of the province of Sftl]
Xyabas and wiiose confidential report
to the War Department, which Sec- ^Ul
yetary Root tried so hard to suppress, k,ie
made such ugly charges of cruelty me
and inhumanity against the military jm]
authorities in his and other provinces cai
to Washington to testify, and afraid
to directly refuse; so, they are ternporizing
by saying that they will sev
bring h im after Gen. Chaifee makes ofh
his report on Gardener's charges? >
the scheme is to keep Gardener away ..
until afl-r Congress adjourns. It is
reported they intend to have him 'no
court-martialed and imprisoned. An- it t
other tiling the Republicans are un- tesi
willing to do is to answer the charge
that the Philippinesare costing many
more millions than the public have '10
any idea of. If tiie charges were not
true it would have been answered by ma
the official figures in 21 hours after wn.
It was made. The Democratic Senators
have the Republicans on ihe
run and they will keep up their ham- *be
mering on Philippine abuses. tioi

'he rupture between the Sopho- i

riment by the press of the- State, i

i seriousness of the olfense, and |

partial manner. From what wo ^

it the punishment was entirely too ]

and it is said that some of the Faculty
also endorsed their action. It sometimes
happens that teachers even in

Sad are the disappointments, and sour,
discontented, grumbling and resentful
are the lives of such people here, and
the same will lie the case in Texas, or
even in the garden of Eden Let us be
contented with our lot and re-olve to
make the liest of things as we find them,
and we will be more consented, wp will
make those around us more cheerful and
contented and we will be happy all the
day. But I have digressed. Lets go
back to the reunion.
As 1 arrived the last day of the reunion
of the Confederate Veterans (Friday.)
I of eouise missed the two parades
that of the Kaliph on Wednesday and
the VetTans parade on Thursday. The
morning of Friday was devot-nl titha
winding up of the occasion, pissing ie;olutiuns,
selecting next place of meeting,
etc. (The next meeting of the Veterans
will Ik; in New Orleans, La ) 1 will
give only a a^iort sketch of the reunion,
as 1 picked it up here and there, and
will conclude iny letter by a few snap
shots, or notes jotted down while nosing
around the cities of Dallas and Fort
Worth.

In the afternoon t lie vot erans were enter- 111

where the encampment had been established.
Of course the visiting veterans,
not delegates, enjoyed themselves about
town as best suited them and were not
hampered by any meeting calls, they
simply took in the town or hunted up
some one from their section of country.
The Grand Kaliph parade was the
feature of the evening, and in fact of
the day, it was a gorgeous affair, consisting
of a number of lloats artistically
arranged with different colored lights
inside, which were manipulated so as to
give the desired effect as the lloat passed.
There were several bands in the parade,
mounted Knights, Couriers and fiords

We wash to insist upon correspondents
confining themselves to news
notes, happenings and items of interest
transpiring in their section, und
refrain from slurs und personal flings
at people. And as to editorial matter,
we will endeavor in our feeble
way to handle this part of the business.
\\ e received a correspondence
this week containing some caustic
remarks regarding some person or
persons unknown to us. This was _

this kind of things if we know it.
