ONE KICKER.
a Massachusetts, Han Who Does Not
Agree With the President.

Mayor A. A. Perry, Of Somerville,
Mass, member of Willard c. KiDsley
Post, 139, G.. A. f., has written let
ter to the pos severely condemning that
portion of President McKinley's ad-
dress at Atlanta suggesting that it
would be proper for the government to
assist in the care and preservation Of
Confederate cemeteries. The letter
says:
Perhaps it is better for me to stay
away from Grand Army gatherings for
little time, at least until | recover
from the shock Of the statements lately
made Ky President Mckinley at Allan
ia. | love the South and her people,
and no one rejoices more than | at the
splendid spectacle of a reunited country
presented during the recent war with
Spain. But | cannot yet believe that
it is the duty of the nation to give the
same attention to the graves of the men
who sought to destroy it as to the rest
ing places of those who died for its pre-
servation. God forbid that any word
should come from my lips Or pen calcu-
lated to revive the sad memories OF the
past. Let us extend the warm hand OF
fellowship to our Southern brothers;
Let US give to them ungrudgingly OF
our love. But let US not do any act or
approve any policy from which future
generations may infer that the great
American Republic, in the closing years
of the nineteenth century, had become
50 blind that she could not distinguish
between the savers and her would-be
destroyers.

KISSING BY WHOLESALE,
Hobson snacked One Hundred and
Forty-three Ladies in One Night.

Lieutenant Hobson, Of Merrimac
fame, broke all public kissing records
one night in Chicago when he saluted
1853 girls and women. It can be said
that all of them did not. to all appear
ances, want to be kissed, but the hero
of the Merrimac treated all alike and
kept it up until the material was ez-
exhausted.
Mr. Hobson lestured on the sinking
of the Merrimac, under the auspices Of
the Press club, to an audience Of 5000
people, and when he had finished de-
sire was manifested on the part Of many
to be introduced. A line was formed,
and the people, mounting the platform,
shook hands with the officer and passed
on.
There was no attempt at kissing un-
til after Mrs. Thomas McDermott
knight and Miss Mary Fowle, daugh-
tiers of former Governor Fowle, Of North
Carolina, had passed. They are distant
cousins Of Hobson, and upon the rela,
tionsnip being announced, he bent his
head and kissed them.
Then the kissing fever seized the VIC.
men, and Hobson made no resistance.
In fact, he seemed to like it, and as
each woman came up he grasped hel
hand, drew her toward him ard smackeo
her soundly upon the lips.

It Will Not Pass.

In the United States Senate Wednes-
day Senator 8utler, Populist. Of North
Carolina, gave notice Of an amendment
he will introduce to the pension appro-
priation bill, pensioning ex-Confeder-
ate soldiers. The amendment follows:
That from and after the passage OF
this bill every pension Law now on the
statute books shall apply to every inva-
lid soldier, widow, minor child, depen-
dent relative, the army nurses and all
other pensioners who may be able to
prove their claim under the present pen.
sion laws without regard to whether said
soldier vas enlisted in the Federal OF
Confederate service Of the civil war Of
1876, provided that those enlisted in
Confederate service shall not draw any
back pensions prior to the passage OF
this bill, bnt their claim under existing
laws, shall begin and become operative
with the passage Of this bill.

INsOLENT SPANISH TROOPS.
They Force Americans to Kiss and
Salute Their Flag.

The Spanish soldiers Of the Battalion
Colon, the men who plundered the
town of Santo Domingo, Cuba, and
who, when the protocol was signed, pro-
tested against peace and reyolted at
Puerto Principe, are causing the brawls
and disorder in Havana. Since Decem-
Der 9Th the battalion has disregarded
the orders of Captain General Castel-
lanos, and instead of embarking for
Spain, as was suggested in friendly
spirit by the American commission,
they have remained there solely to Gre
ate trouble.
They declare that they have not been
vanquished, and, with bands playing,
they parade the streets, singing Spanish
songs, compelling peaceful residents
Americans, Cubans and Spanish-to
kiss the Spanish flag and shout Viva
Espana!" They are at present the po-
lice of the city. At s o'clock every
evening they gather in front Of
the Hotel de Inglaterra and by their
demonstrations keep the people in a
state of terror.
On Thursday the battalion attacked
the people in the town of Regla, in
sulting the women and beating the men.
They wounded a boy on Prado street
and the Spanish press censor permitted
only this comment to be published:
';An American armed with rifle
shoots Negro" They robbed some
peasants at a railway station, and un-
der censorship he incident was thus re-
ported: Peasants robbed by group of
men, some of whom we're armed.
They declare openly that they will re-
main in Cuba until the last, in order to
punish the people Of Havana for their
ingratitude to Spain. They say that
the war with Spain was brought about,
not by the desire Of the Americans, nor
by the Cuban insurgents, but because
of calumnies heaped on the Spanish
army in Cuba by the people in Havana.
Women and children are fleeing to Mari
anao, where they can be safe under the
protection of American troops. In the
meantime crime hourishes. Since
Thursday six 1urders have been com
mitted in the streets of Havana.

Gets Back Home.

The President and his party arrived
back home on Tuesday of last week
well pleased with their reception in the
South. Everywhere stop was made
the President was received with greet
ings and demonstrations Of an enthusia-
site character, and during the entire
week there was not disturbing incident.
The general impression prevailed that
the trip had cemented to marvellous
degree the good feeling between North
and South, and had brought into prom
inence the excellent condition and cspa-
bilities of the army. The original OBJ
ject Of the visit, to celebrate the peace
with Spain, lost its significance direct
ly after the Presidents memorable ut
terances regarding the care Of the Con-
federate dead.

A SOLDIER KILLED.
Shot by a. Provost Guard for Disobey'
ing Orders.

The Greenville correspondent of the
News and Courier says Private John
Mattice, of Company K, 2O3d New
York regiment, shot and killed Private
Nugridge, Company B, I'd West Vir-
ginia regiment, and seriously wounded
Private Hart, same company and regi-
ment, near that city on Tuesday oflast
week.
Mugridge and Hart went into the
woods near camp to shoot at target
with pistols, in doing so violating the
order Of the commanding officer. Mat
tice was on guard at the time, doing
provost duty, and hearing the shots, he
went into the woods to arrest the par
ties shooting. He claims that Mug
Ridge started away, but turned and fired
twice at him with pistol, and he then
fired the fatal shot. The other side
claims that Mugridge and Hart started
to run as soon as they saw the provost
guard, and that Mattice shot at them
with his Springfield rife while they
were running. It's also claimed that
Hart had possession Of a pistol when he
fell or was arrested. Mugridge was in
stantly killed, and the bullet, passing
through him, struck Hart in the side,
inficting painful wound.
DR.. Bramlett examined the wound Of
Mugridge, and stated that the bullet
entered his back, passing through, COM
ing out of his breast and hitting Hart.
From this it seems that Hart was in
from of Mugridge as they ran. Gen.
Kline, commanding the division, or
dered Mattice turned over to the civil
authorities for trial, to be tried in the
United States court. The prisoner is
confined in the provost guard house for
the present, awaiting an inquest. L is
said that very hard feeling between the
two regiments has resulted from the
killing, the West Virginians being very
bitter in denouncing the man who DID
the shooting, as they claim that there
was no cause for the deed.

A Fearful Crime.

Aspecial from Leesburg, Ga, says:
4 most horrible crime was perpetrated
on tie eastern edge Of Lee county TO-
day and lynching is almost certain.
Two negroes went to the house Of S. S.
Moroney, a white farmer, knocked him
down and bound him fast. They then
committed a double rape on the person
of his wife: and, after robbing the
house Of everything of value they could
carry away, left. The alarm was given
quickly and strong posse started out
in search Of the criminals. It is re-
ported they have been captured. If so
they have doubtless been lynched.
