ton Could He Misunderstood.
PRINCETON, N. j., Jan. 26.-"It is

President Grover Cleveland expressed

authorized statement in which he re-
views the question of annexation at
some length and insists that he always
was and is now opposed to the move.

Not The Kind She Wanted.

Some time since q very pretty and
stylish young woman in New York
ad. ertised for a husband. The sdver.
tisement was answered by man IN
Calhoun county, Fla, who has negro
blood in his veins, but IS nearly white.
Photographs and letters were eI'
changed, and it was finally agreed
| that the young lady should come tc
River Junction, where the man would
neet her, and after marriage take her
to his home. Early last week the man
went to River Junction to meet the
train from New York, upon which
the young lady was coming. Before
leaving home he was so ovsrjoyeo
that he told his mission.
When be reached River Junction
he found committee OF citizens await
ing him. They informed him that he
must tell the young woman immedi
ately upon her arrival that ne had ne
gro blood in his veins. 4! first he re.
fused, but several drawn revolvers
soon brought him to terms. An hour
afterward the New York train arrived,
and stglisa young woman allghte1.
The man knew her at once, and with
great hesitation informed her that he
was partly negro. She tainted or
hearing the new, and later repulsec
him, although he earnestly pleaded
with her. The young womand seemed
to be greatly overcome, but she hac
money. and at once puurchased re
turn ticket to New York.

The Pension Steal.

Our pension law sadly needs revisll
ion. No one objects to the old sol
dier who can't earn bis bread being
taken care OF by the government. The
present pension law gives pension
under certain conditions to any person
who served for ninety days or more
and who is for any reason incapable
OF earning living by ''pcSnual la
bor." He may be millionaire. He
may be a lawyer earning tens OF
thousands of dollars. EIe may be a
United States senator wit g salary OF
IS. .0G0 year. Yet if he can not build
sLons fences or do carpenter work ne
is entitled to his pensions. Senator
Mandersor, for example, was both a
millionaire and senator. Yet he
had no shame in receiving q pension,
and he calmly accepted $4,000 OF
back pension money voted to him by
the Congress of which he was mem
Der. Now, every dollar Of all such
pensions must be earned by the
hard working citizens. of the United
States, most of whom never had $l2,-
600 or 81, 900 in Their lives. Isa'. this
a scandal? Isn't it a grievous injus-
ticeG And is Gen. Draper's case any
be.ter2 He is a very rich man. He
has been made ambassador to Italy al
high salary. Yet he accepts a per
sion paid out of the hard earnings OF
The people. How loGg are the people
going to stand these robberies?

An Old Fima secsssionist.

There is still living iu Haverhill,
Mass, it appears, one Francis Buffers,
who along with many other citizens
of that to En, signed the petition pre-
sented to congress by John Q1incy
Adams in 1S42, asking that the Union
be dissolved. This was secession OF a
comprehensive character. TEe rea-
sons assigned were ths; the Union af-
forded no prospects Of reciprocal
benefit" that the resources Of one
section of the Union are annually Y
drained to sustain the views and cours-
es of another section," that ''tDis
Union will certainly overwhelm the
nation with utter destruction" Now
that the resources OF the south have
been many years annually drailed"
in the right direction, MASSACHUSETTS,
takes less interest in the dissolution OF
the Union. The current Of contracts,
salaries and pensions creates the u
most loyalty to the haE now where Ii
was rather lacking in 1S42.

a CrIststn CpbS.

It is evident that crisis in Cuban
affairs IS rapidly approaching. The
one horrible fact published to the
world conceded by tie Spanish gov
ernment, both iu Madrid and Cuba,
that there are 80 600 innocent peo-
pie starring in the island, besides !he
hundreds CT Thousands already dead
from the same cause, not only brands
Spain as utterly incompetent and in
human, but will excite the indigna
ton of ali civilized people, and de-
prive Spain of any hope Of sympathy
and aid, pecuniary or otherwise. This
IS. bsyond question, the most awful
condition which has existed anywhere
during the present century in .ace OF
war. AIVa, the iuhuman Spanish
butcher, who endsavored to suodue
the Ne?herl nds, produced no such
condition. For the sake OF civilizS
lion, It Is to be hoped that it will con-
tinue to be unique.

The Maine su Hayaus.

The United States battleship Maine,
commanded by Capt. D. Sigsbee,
which left Key West on January d,
arrived at Havana st II o'clock Tues.

forts and war vessels. Shortly after
the arrival OF the Maine, Lieutenant
Albert E Drano, representing the
captain of the port, Vice Admiral
jose Pastor, visited the United States
batt;eship and extended the customary
courtesies. The arrival OF the war

siderable curiosity. 4 naval lieuEen-
ant CT the Spanish cruiser Alfonso
XII, the Spanish flagship, visited the
Maine early in the afternoon, as did
also the officer OF the German cruiser
Gueinesa. tie schoolship. Both visits

Mr.. Archer ct first opposed the ap-
pointment of a commission. He said
that a commission had been appointed

it. He afterwards withdrew his OF

SENATOR TlLLMAN OBJECTS.
Ee Calls the Washington Post Down for
Unfair Criticism.

Unfair Criticism.
Sometime since Senator Tillmsn
used some strong language in an
executive session in Washington,
which a garbled report leaked o
into the press. The proceedings OF
the executive sessions being secret,
Senator Tillman cannot state what
was actually said, but he does object
to editorial denur ciation bssed on
such aarbled reports and has written
the Washington Post the following
letter:
Editor Post: The Post is one of
the fairest and ablest edited papers
published in this country. It's news
service is always reliable and its edi-
torials are usu ally fair and nonpartisan
and do not rememb Der to have ever
seen an instance during the three
years in which I have read it daily
that it diverged to degree approxi-
mating the indecency and malevolence
appearing in the editorial headed,
South Dakota Ipecsc.
The statement quoted in the edito-
rial of what was said to have taken
place in recent executive session OF
the senate had appeared previously
in the Evening Star and was copied
in The Post the next morning. It
did me grave injustice, because OF
the suppression of what preceded an )
succeeded the offensive epithet. Ny
retort was garble6 and not an answer
to Mr.. Kyle's remark at all, or in the
language used. The report was equsl-
ly unjust to the presiding officer, Mr..
Mason. who said nothing. l deemed
it unworthy of notice but when SO
clean, decent q paper as The Post
takes this garbled, distorted statement
IS the basis Of an editorial, giving If
the same prominence and credit given
to news item about which there IS
no dispute or doubt, the edito- OF The
Post must see that its course is both
cowardly and unjust, to thus strike
| man whose lips are sesled and who
cannot even rise to question piper
sonal privilege tooenounce and ex.
pose the falsebood that has leaked out
through the doors of the senate in e1'
ecutive session.
Sneers, ridicule, and abuses from
the press I have borne in silence. And
| had all that was said on that accession
been reported. I would have no reason
to complain now. But I do think
The Post owes it 10 itself to be more
guarded in the future in making edi
torial comments on what it hears has
taken place il executive session.
