IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE

Hon. John W. Tomlinson returned yes- terday from Washington, where he has been for the past few weeks.
 My trip to Washington was purely on business" said he. "The war news there is nothing more than you hear here. Ev- erything Is In a state of expectancy. Tues- day the Washington dailies got out extras announcing an American victory, but it seems the news was premature, yet we all hope it will yet prove true.
 While the war is the all-absorbing ques- ton, there is much interest,"" continued Mr. Tomlinson, regarding the action of the senate on the gold bond issue of the war revenue bill. I listened with much interest to the debate on this question. The republicans, in the interest of the bond grabbing class, are taking advantage of the existence of war to force a gold bond issue; the democrats hope to defeat the scheme; but the free silver republicans ara the unknown quantities-the x, and Z- of the political equation.
 The southern congressman with whom l talked in regard to acquiring more ter ritory differed on the question. For my self l think it safe to stand by the teach ings of Washington and Jefferson.
 "Under the guise of territorial acquisi- tion, the hope is to establish a large stand ing army to further the plan of a strong centralized government and perpetuate the doctrines of Hamilton as opposed to those Of Jefferson. Furthermore, 1t would intro- duce the idea of government without rep resentation-a dangerous idea-for it is not proposed that the newly acquired territory shsll have representation"

DELICATE OPERATION.
Bullet In a Ladys Brain to Be Located By
 An x-Ray.

Quite delicate piece of surgical opera ton Is about to be performed by pr. B. G. Copeland. Mrs. Zanetti of Blocton, who was shot in the head last Christmas night, will be the patient.
 On that night the lady was walking home with her husband and friend, when a bull let was fired very mysteriously, and it is thought to have lodged in her brain. All efforts in probing for the tiny piece of lead have been unrewarded, and pr. Copeland is preparing to bring the wonderful X-ray into acquisition to find it. If it is found to be in such position as to be removed with out greatly endangering the lady's life the operation will be undertaken. People have been known, however, to survive with bull lets lodged in their brain.
 Mrs Zanetti is now almost helpless, be- ing paralyzed from her head down on the right side Several particles of skull have been removed, but all efforts to locate the ball have been fruitless.

A flSHY TALE.
Spanish Prisoners of War Have Had No Oppor-
 tuniity to Complain of III Treatment.

Atlanta, May 25.-Lieutenant-C Colonel w. F. Hall adjutant-general and executive head of the department of the gulf has this to say regarding the report from Madrid that Spanish prisoners of war in the United States have complained that they are treated as convicts:
 'The prisoners at the post are well treated. The ten officers now there are confined in two large rooms and have every convenience. They have a separate mess but are given the regular rations. The ordinary prisoners are well cared for and get their rations three times a day. All letters they write are read by the off, cials before being mailed, and if any one had complained it would hardly get to Spain."

Raw Sore From Finger to Palm. Physicians and Medicines No
 Avail. Cured by Cuticura.

When my little boy was two years of age, dry spots commenced to appear on different parts of his body. Last winter it seemed to go to his hands, and was obliged to keep his first three fingers done up all the time, as it was raw sore, beginning to extend down to- ward the palm of the hand. We consulted three different physicians, each certain length of time, to see benefit of their medicines. think now, after using CUTIcURA, that some of the salves that used did more injury than good. A gentleman (who sat next to me in church) asked me the matter with my boys hand. took off one of the cloths and showed him, he told me he had been in a hospital in Boston, where for all skin diseases they used CUTIcURA REMEDIES. I immediately pur- chased CUTIcURA SOAP, CUTIcURA (oint- ment) and CUTIoURA REsoLvENT, put aside what had been using, and began with them. Well! they cured that hand. was afraid that this winter it would break out again, but no, 1t is all cured, and have not had to have cloth on 1t this winter Mrs. DIAMOND,

Cost of AlGer's Management.


Ours is the only country in the world which
does not allow It's soldiers to become d sab!ed
OF invalided in its service wittolt conpensat Or
In recognition Of this principle now pay
ing sl4o.0Oo.CG0 year the pension crst oi a
war which came TO an end more than a third OF
a century ago.
The precedent We have thus established is bind
ing now. and the disabled soldiers OF the
Spanish have claim the country fOF pen
sions which Congress Is certain To recognize.
How large this pension liability Will be IS
something which cannot be even estimated
There are. however. certain indications which are
both interesting and instructive.
For instance. in the Fifth Missouri Regiment.
mustered out At Kansas City, in single con-
pany not less than forty-five members put in
claims for ailments which they swore were con
tracted in the service while in camp at Chicka-
mauga and Lexington.
This regiment never within hall a Thousand
miles of any enemy except the War Department.

vision and more serious physical injuries, and in
nearly every case they make oath that the causes
were bad quarters and bad water.
In other words, these men the victims OF
Algerism If there is anything like the pro-
portion of disabilities throughout the army-dnd
the experience of many other regiments was much
the same and even the cost of Algerism
will be greater than all the other expenses OF the
war put together. And this is the Administra-
tion that the voters asked to sustain!

The Negro Problem.

tFrOm the New Orleans PltaNune-}
The negroes are not naturally aggressive
or riotous race. They We're easily controlled
when in slavery. and they, without doubt. would
always have remained. after their emancipation,
quiet and peaceable if they had not been so
constantly and persistently the victims OF poiit-
ical and social agitators, who never have ceased
To nStill into them the most perniciouS. radical.
and criminal doctrines. II Is not strange that
the negroes in communities where they equal
numerically largely outnumber the whites, un-
der the influence of the most banetul teachings,
have come to be turbulent and troublesome.
The obvious remedy, and that will be.
and already Is, self-operave, is the distribution
of the negroes throughout all the States of the
Union. This result is being accomplished through
the fact that the Southern negro can, and will.
and does underworld the white labor OF the North
ern States. This fact places negro labor III active
demand for Northern mines and for other pur-
poses where the negro render efficient service,
and no amount of prejudice will prevent the out
flow of Southern negroes to Northern States, and
resultant movement of whites from the North
ern States southwark This is manifest race des-
tiny and il is being consummated by economic
laws which will brook no interference,
