The Atlanta Kickers.

The people of Atlanta are kicking
against the outrageous extravaganza in
the administration of municipal affairs in
that city. We refer, Of course, to the
taxpayers who have to bear the burden
imposed by this extravaganza. The Office
holders, their heelers and those who pay
no taxes are very well satisfied with the
present condition Of affairs.
The Atlanta taxpayers held a big meet
ing on Thursday night, an account Of
which was published IN our dispatches yes
terday. They made it quite clear that
they were tired of the extravaganza of
ring rule and that they intended to have
change They believe that they are pay
ing altogether too much for what they are
getting. Year after year the cost of run
ming the city government has gone on in
creasing, until it is now about double
what il was a few years ago. And there
is no apparent reason for this enormous
increase. The politicians, of course, give
elaborate but very unsatisfactory eXpla-
nations of the increase. The fact that
some OF the hckers are local politicians
who are disgrunt.ed, because they have
enjoyed none of the municipal pickings
lately does not detract in the least from
the genuineness of the kickers' movement.
They know that there is good ground for
the movement, or else they would have
nothing TO do with it. The taxpayers
would forgive them for their misdeeds if
they would assist in getting rid of the
rings which now hold the city in their
grasp.
Municipal administration is great
problem. The people hardly know what
20 do to get a fair return for their mon
ey. They break away from one ring only
to fall into the grasp of another. But
changes are necessary. Otherwise cities
would soon become bankrupt.
Would it not be a good thing TO have
meeting in this city to discuss city af-
fairs and incidentally county affairs?
There are many citizens who would like
to know if there is not some way of re-
ducing the cost of governing the city and
county. The cost appears 10 be increas-
ing all the time, and yet the people do
not seem to be getting anything more for
their money.
AS a side issue, and to make things live
ly, the meeting might discuss the street
railroad and the Buckhalter swamp canal.
We venture to predict that if the people
of Atlanta were taxed to level Stone
mountain, which would be about on a par
with digging a canal through Buckhalter
swamp, other issues would disappear and
the efforts of the people would be con
fined to getting rid of that useless bur
den.
As far as street railroad matters are
concerned, the people of Atlanta are bet
ter off than the people of this city, be-
cause they have the chief owner and man
ager of their roads where they can get at
him. Here it is different. The real man.
ayers are In New York and Nashville,
and can't be reached by public opinion.
The Atlanta people ought to thank Prov
idence that they have Joel Hurt for a
boss.
Some Of these days the people of Sa-
vannah will rise up and demand a new
deal all around. And when they do they
will have just about such a meeting as
that at Atlanta on Thursday night.

Nobody. OF course. believes that either
the Secretary oE War or any official Of
the war department has deliberately neg
4ected his duties In the matter of provid-
ing for the sick soldiers in the various
csmps Of this country and Cuba, but that
there has been incompetency, and, in some
cases indifference, there seems to be but
little room for doubt. We have called at
tention 10 the camp at Montauk Point,
and also TO other camps, but half Of the
terrible hardships 10 which the sick sol
diers have been unnecessarily subjected
have not been told.
If what is now appearing IN the news
papers is true, it is difficult to see how
an investigation by Congress can be
avoided. Surgeon General Terry of New
York is at present examining the condi-
ton of the New York troops in the diff
ferent camps at the request of the Gov
ornor OF that state. He sent in his re-
port of the condition of the New YofS
troops at Camp Thomas, ChickamaugN
last Tuesday. 1t is stated that it is 90
startling that the Governor refused to give
il to the press. one man connected with
that if Dr. Terry's report should be made
public there would be a terrible cutlery
raised against The war department. 1t IS
known, however, that Or. Terry found at
Chickamauga 1l0 Of the New York troops
in the hospitals, and POO in quarters who
should have been ia hospitals, but who
could not get into them for want Of
room. When Gov. Black got DR.. Terry's
report he announced his purpose to so to
Washington at once and urge that the
troops of his state, being in danger of de-
clmation from disease, be transferred to
their state camps at once. He declared
he would cut the red tape if it We're ne
cessary to do so to accomplish his object
According to DR.. Terry the camp OF the
New York troops a Chickamauga is in
a most frightful condition, being in the
highest degree unsanitary. The diseases
from which the men suffer are all prevent
able and should have been prevented. Gov
Black and other prominent New Workers
are so wrought up about the matter that
they will insist upon an investigation that
viii make it known who is to blame for
the sickness and suffering which the sol
ders have been subjected to in the
camps
1t is said to be doubtful if the Secretary
of War would have gone to Camp Wikof
if the President had not insisted upon his
doing so, and the President would have
known little or nothing of the condition
of affairs in that camp if Mrs. John A.
Logan had not gone to Washington and
laid the facts before him. When he found
out that the soldiers there were dying for
want of the right kind of food and
proper nursing he took steps at once to
have supplied whatever the sick soldiers
needed.
But why was it necessary to appeal to
the President to get for sicks and suffer-
ing soldiers what was necessary to keep
them from dying? That is a question the
public would like to have answered.

To whom do the remains of Christopher
Columbus belong2 They lie in the Cath

where they have reposed for hundred
years. The great navigator died at Sc

years later his son, carrying out the wish
Of his father, removed his bones to San
Domingo aud deposited them In the Cath

Routed.
 SibOney, via Playa del Este. Cuba, July l, via Mole St. Nicholas, Hayti, July 2.-To-night 2. the American troops sleep upon their arms after desperate engagement. which lasted almost thir- teen hours. On the ridges overlooking the city Rents division and Wheeler's cavalry are on guard.
 The camps are ringing tonight with praises of the Rough Riders. While Spanish shells were flying and bursting about them to-day they made glorious charge up the hill, 600 yards from the gates of the city. As the terrible mis- siles exploded sending their deadly fragments everywhere men fell upon every side, but the troopers pushed on unmindful of the danger and with their eyes fixed intentH upon the foe. Up. up they went until the position of San Juan had been taken and the Spaniards routed.
 In this fortified position there were supposed to be 1000 of the l5,OO0 troops defending Santiago. They were sud- denly faced by the Rough Riders, and the lst 2d, 18th, l6th and 22d Infantry. The Spaniards attempted to use the heavy artillery which was back of them, but the attack was too oimpetuous and they made . dash for the open field in front of them, defeated, routed. crushed.
 The list New York and the 10th Cavalry, with the Rough Riders, cap tured three block houses defended by artillery, and while the Spanish sharp shooters sent in Il rain of leaden pellets 1 the Americans swept everything before them with dash and a hurrah. While 1 the fight went on the Spaniards fired upon filters conveying the wounded, and when the list New York found its- | self fanked by the enemy, it beat them

 off at close quarters with heavy loss.
 As the guns of Cervera's ships sent shells from the bay many brave Ameri- cans went down. The Cubans fought with the greatest bravery and lost al- most as heavily as the forces from the United States. The success of the Spanish gunners was such that one shell was hurled into the center of an advancing company. The explosion killed or wounded half the men in the company.
 The Spaniards used smokeless pow der, while the Americans used the or dinary kind and experienced some diff ficulty in locating the enemy's guns af- ter heavy firing.
 Many of the artillerists of Battery A, of the 2d Artillery, fell dead at their guns as the battle proceeded. The Gu bans used Hotchkiss gun when fight ing with detachments from the 10th 2d Regular Cavalry.
 Protected by the guns of the Iowa and New York, the 33j Michigan Vol unteers and battalion of the 34th Volunteers attacked Agua- dores. Shells from the direction of Cervera's ships came with an accuracy which was not relished. To counteract the effect of this fire the Vesuvius be- gan to hurl her dynamite shells, and in the meantime Gen. Kent, with the list New York Volunteers. assaulted Agua- iores. Before long many lines of Span ish breastworks were broken and the enemy began to retreat.
 Gen. Garcia and his Cuban forces were in the thickest of the fight.

Men, women and children were hurled
