CURRENT COMMENT.

The Cleveland (O) Plain Dealer (Dem.)
thinks that Gen Fitzhugh Lee would have
derived no pleasure from Capt. Gen. Blan-
qured by his government to remain in
Havana until the arrival of the victorious
Americans. The Plain Dealer says: Gen.
Lee is a chivalrous gentleman, so he prob
ably is not sorry that Gen. Blanco avoid
ed the humiliation of being courteously
bowed out of the building in which he
was so discourteous to the American gen.
Sral when he called to take his leave.
The Spanish captain general no doubt
had that unpleasant incident in mind and
the likelihood of Gen. Lees illustrating
the difference between Spanish dignity
and American good breeding and was
anxious to get out of the island before
Gen. Lee set foot upon it,

says the Philadelphia Record Oem.), "are
supplemented by adequate penalties for

Mrs Lease is not at all pleased with Col
Bryan's declaration against imperialism.
OF late she has become one of the most
radical of all imperialists. In speech the
other day in Philadelphia, referring to the
question of holding the Philippines as wei
as Porto Rico and Guam, she said: THE
people who oppose expansIon-the freeing
of mankrnd-must be knaves, fools or big
ots. Why, we are nearer to Cuba to-day
than we were to Kansas or Nebraska fifty
years ago" Mrs. Lease is supposed to re-
ceive $50 to $500 a lecture for talking like
that. Her opposition will probably give
strength to the anti-expansion movement.

Representative Mechanic of Berrien
says that his bill to repeal the 'possum
law is not joke, but a very serious
matter. The "varmint' needs no pros
lection, according to his ideas, but, on
the other hand, the fewer of the spe-
cies there are, at least in Berrien, the
better it will be for the farmers. In
short, the 'possum should go. 1t breaks
into chicken cOops and destroys young
chickens, it eats the tops off the peanut
vines and kills them, it raids the gar
dens and eats the sass, and does many
other disreputable things. We have
all along thought that less attention
might have been paid to 'possums and
more to sheep; but it seems that some
folks regarded 'possums as a political
necessity. Savannah News.

A MOST PATHETIC SCENE.
SIX LITTLE GIRLS DESERTED BY
THEIR PARENTS.
A Sad story Comes From Atlanta. 1--WE
Are all Alone and Don't Know What
to Do" Said One.


A most pitiful and, at the same time,
a very mysterious case of desertion has
been brought to the attention of the po-
lice authorities of Atlanta.
Mrs. Mamie McBee, herself deserted
wife, has left her home with her eldest
daughter, leaving six little children, all
girls, alone. Nothing has been heard of
the missing mother and daughter, al
though the police have made every eff
fort to locate them.
The six children left at home are all
young, the smallest being not more than
nine months old. They were utterly
alone, without relatives or friends, and
had no fuel or food in the house,
Mrs. McBee and her husband moved to
Atlanta from Greene county, Georgia,
about FIVE months ago and secured work
in the Fulton cotton mills. They had
seven children, the eldest a daughter
fifteen years old and the youngest a babe
in its mothers arms.
About five weeks ago McBee went to
Macon, presumably to get better situa-
ton. and since then, SO Mrs. McBee
stated to some of her neighbors, his
family has heard nothing from him. For
five weeks the deserted wife and children
toiled and made scanty living.
Thursday morning Mrs. McBee and
her eldest daughter left their home, No.
80 Reinhardt street, saying they were
going to Grant park to spend few
hours. All the other children, six little
girls, were left at home and alone. The
day wore away and the mother and
daughter did not return. Thursday
night the six deserted little girls spent
alone IN the cherries house. Friday
morning came and still Mrs. McBee and
the Oldest daughter were missing.
The matter was reported to the
neighbOrs and the next oldest girl was
advised to appeal to the police authori-
ties. She went to the police barracks
and told pitiful story of the desertion
of herself and five little sisters.
