The Kiss which Lieut.. Hobson hero
icaliy received from st. Louis lacy
at Long Beach recalls an incident III
which the late General u. S. Grant hs-
ured. without. however. sharing the
blnshlng honor. Just after the close
OF the ciyil war General Grant. with
his family. went TO the Union Hotter
at Saratoga Springs.
Major William w. Leland. the pro-
prletor OF the hotel, had been chiet
commissary on the generals stan. he
gave banquet to General Grant anu
his wife Many officers who were from
the army OF the Tennessee were pres
ent. as well as several prominent cit!-
zens.
During the dinner the guests were
somewhat startled to see a Saratoga
belle advance. with gracious Grecian
bend. and ask permission OF the gen
eral to kiss him. There was only one
there who received the generals salute.
To that high persoh he now deferred,
| Turning. he said with Mrs. Grants
permission"
Mrs. Grant had. as everyone OBJ
served. dropping lid. She WAS Obliged
therefore, to throw back her head to
get coed took al the andacious sup
plicant. who now had not only the eyes
OF all. the distinguished company on
her, but these of the other guests OF
the hotel as well.
After an embarrassing pause. in
which Mrs. Grant had time TO con
slider the offensive charge on her de-
fenseless spouse and fortify herself
against the fair enemy, she came to his
relief and declined to capitulate. Moth
ing daunted, however. and to prove to
those present tha, the American girl
has nerve as we'll as mettle. the fair
heroine seized the generals hand and
said:
We'll, as you viii not kiss me. will
shake your hand" and retired with all
the honors OF war--vanquishsd but not
subdued. = New York Mail and Express.

Two Incidents.

Here are two incidents OF war times
which are full OF meaning to the
thoughtful American.
In the civil war companies of col
ored troops ON their way to the front
we're forbidden to march through the
principal streets OF Philadelphia, lest
fhoy should be stoned by the mob.
They were going to give their lives
for their country. but they were led
through alleys and obscure streets to
do It, so strong was the prejudice
against them in this northern city.
The Washington Star published the
other day an account of visit made
by one OF it's reporters to the wounded
soldiers at Washington barracks Two
colorcd soldiers came up. both Of whom
were recovering from wounds. The
reporter spoke to one OF them. a bright
faced mulatto, asking where he had
been shot
I'm the charge up San Juan hill in
July" he answered Il belong to Troop
f, Ninth cavalry. The ball entered my
cheek. The artery was cut and was
squirting blood. managed to get
back OF the firing-iine somehow. but
the doctor said he could do nothing
for me. just then Rough Rider came
up. He put his thumb on my jugular
vein and held It there two hours. Two
hours--and me negro! He saved my
life. Then the surgeon OF his troop
came up and sent surgeon"

THE RECORD BROKEN.

The past week has been a record
breaker in the bond-buying business.
Wall street has witnessed the invest
ment of SS4,0Oo,0oO in interest-bearing
securities during the last five days. The
money brokers apparently feel secure
III the permanency Of the single gold
standard since the election.
This is just what the advocates Of
free coinage have always contended.
Money is withdrawn from other chan
nels and made to do duty for the sharks
under the system OF recommendation.
There is no property so valuable now
as interest-bearing bonds. Other prop
erty is deprecated. Capitalists are not
seeking investments which win result
in the upbuilding Of the country. Cap
ital is not turned into Improvements.
1t is made to drain rather than TO aid
the people.
This republic IS rich. The people are
ingenious, progressive, industrious.
Their resources and the resources of
the land are wonderful But the end
VIII come. with capital drawing inter
est instead Of building cities and en-
couraging the cultivation of the SOIL
The people can not long stand up un-
der the strain. They viii be made to
realize, some time, probably not until
they are impoverished, but some time,
that the single standard is their undo
ing.
War talk and side issues may dis
tract their attention for a while, but
they are sure to become convinced that
wealth is widening the gulf between
the twenty five thousand who control
the finances of the nation and the TO-
OOO,000 who are daily contributing to
that growing wealth.
At the rate travelled in Wall street
this week, enough people ought to be
come convinced within the next two
years to give bimetallism d victory in
1900.
