Should he Lonesome in His DisaD-

Somerville Mass, Dec 2O.-Mayor A. A.
Perry, member of Willard C. Kinsley Post
No. 319, G. A. R., has written letter to
the post, severely condemning that portion
of President McKinley's address at At
lanta suggesting that it would be proper
for the government to assist in the care
and preservation of Confederate cemete-
ries. The letter says:
Perhaps it is better for me to stay
away from Grand Army gatherings for a
little time, at least until l recover from
the shock of the statements lately made
by President Mckinley at Atlanta 1 love
the South and her people, and no one re-
joices more than l at the splendid specta-
Gle of a reunited country, presented dur
ing the recent war with Spain. But | can
not yet believe that it is the duty of the
nation to give the same attention to the
graves of the men who sought to destroy
it, as to the resting places of those who
died for its preservation.
God forbid that any word should come
from my lips or pen calculated to revive
the sad memories of the past. Let us ex-
tend the warm hand of fellowship 10 our
Southern Brothers Let us give to them
ungrudgingly of our love. But let US not
do any act or approve any policy from
which, future generations may infer that
the great American republic, in the clos
Ing years of the nineteenth century, had
become so blind that she could not distin-
guish between the saviors and her would
be destroyers."

CEMENTED NORTH AND SOUTH.
HENEFICENT RESULTS OF PRESI-
DENTS SOUTHERN TOUR.

Mrs. Mckinley the Only One of the
Party Who Was IpdispOsed-The
Run From Columbia UneventfuI.
Farewell Visits ON the Train.
Peace Celebration Lost Signifi-
canoe After the Presidents Menu
OrabIc Utterances.
Washington, Dec. 2.-The presidential
party after an absence of several days in
the South, arrived at the Pennsylvania
station over the Southern Railroad at II 30
O'Clock this morning, exactly on schedule
time.
With the exception of Mrs. Mckinley,
who was slightly indisposed at Atlanta,
every member of the party has been in the
best of health. and all pronounced the trip
most enjoyable and a splendid success ind
every way. Everywhere a stop was made
the President was received with greetings
and demonstrations of an enthusiastic
character, and during the entire week
there was not disturbing incident.
The run from Columbia, S. c., was I'M
eventful and on arrival here the splendid
train OF six Pullman cars under the per
sonal supervision of General Agent
Brown, was run up the Sixth street siding
where all alighted. The President and
Mrs. Mckinley were driven to the Waite
House at once.
The last morning aboard the presidential
train was spent chiefly in farewell visits
paid upon each other by members of the
party. The President received all of his
guests in his own car He expressed his
entire satisfaction over the trip. In this
sentiment every member of the cabinet
aboard heartily conceded, while Gems.
Wheeler and Shafter repeated the eulogis-
tic expressions already made in their pub
lie speeches.
The general impression prevailed that the
trip had cemented to a marvellous degree
the good feeling between the North and
South, and had brought into prominence
the excellent condition and capabilities of
the army. The original object of the visit
90 celebrate the peace with Spain lost its
significance directly after the Presidents
memorable utterances regarding the care
of the Confederate dead.
