THE CAUCASIAN. Official Journal of the City of Shreveport. THURSDAY, MAY 28, 19o3. THE CONFEDERATE REUNION The reunion held in New Orleans was the greatest and most successfu in the record of the organization of the United Confederate Veterans and fairl} eclipsed the reunion demonstrations ir other cities. This is not said to theii disparagement, but to emphasize in a kindly spirit the fact that in the midsl of the splendor and the glorification of this gathering there have been given tc the world historical facts which are o! priceless value as a legacy of loyalty and fealty to the sons and the daughters of men who breasted the storm of bat tle to maintain a principle of the Con stitution as handed down by the Fath ers of the Republic. While the display of glittering uni forms was imposing and the social features and functions were delightful to the Daughters of the Confederacy and The Sons of Veterans, their friends and admirers, there is substantial com fort and satisfaction to Veterans throughout the South in their vindica tion against the stigma of Rebel and Rebellion whichl has been ascribed to them and with which they would be branded forever by the North. In words clear and logical the grand old man, J. H. Reagan of Texas, the only sur vivor of Jefferson Davis' Cabinet,- has demonstrated that the South in her cause of secession was guided by the Constitution which had given their every movement legal support. The South yielded when overwhelmed by numbers. The contention was not to maintain slavery, as has been declared by the North, but it was to "perpetuate all that which is noble and grand and mafly in the history of their fithers." In the reunions of the past this ques tion had received little attention, but it asl been given a forceful awakening through the great oraiof of Judge John 1Iatogept, of. Arkansas. In words sub fi and adahless he has rendered an iru ualuaetwce to the Senth and the -e of dh .Conferate 'oldier, and {bIt ttennies i r rod as v a d "e r squiof de sttn'in 'esin a !!oity sis.m 4 a sin apa riresen dfrom whichg the chidren of - been taught, time": ast tsew aet a JiI i Vlft S 4: SOCIALIST ARRESTED Thought to Have Had Designs Upon the Chief Executive.

J., May 27.-"I will shoot you before morning," said Charles Vi rog to his brother, the Rev. Stephen Virog, as he rushed out of the door of the latter's residence late at night, hat less and coatless. The sight of the pis tol in the pends of the wildlooking man deterred any one of the many passersby from making an attempt to stop or capture him. Later it was learned by the police that the fugitive, who is thirty years old and lives at Passaic, came to his brother's house and, after.making a demand for money, tried to kill him, the minister having refused him the money. The latter dodged when the visitor's revolver was fired and the bullet was imbedded in the wall. Before he could take aim again his brother grapplea with him, but in the struggle Charles managed to discharge three remaining cartridges, one of which just grazed the head of the minister. It had been a long time since the brothers had met. Charles having returned only recently from Europe. The police are looking for the would-be murderer. PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
