GENERAL WHEELER

From the Boston Herald Gnd. rep.).
The presence OF General Wheeler on tho
soil of Massachusetts yesterday added in
terest to the proceedings of the day.. 1t
was narrow spirit that could give pre-
dominance to the fact that he had once
acted in rebellion against the government
over that of his complete present loyalty
and recollection of his gallant recent ser
vice in arms to a common country. Those
who remembered what a formidable oppo-
nent on the battlefield he had once been
were the most fervent of all to welcome
him in his later relation. He spoke noble
and fitting and thorough patriotic words in
his address to the veterans who had invited
him to come to Boston, and left the best
possible impression as the effect of his APP
pearance here. 1t was as emphatic
testimony to the complete union of the ma
ton in this era of it's history could have
we'll been afforded.

GEN. wHEELER LIKES THE IDEA

Boston, May 3L-When the attention of
General Joe Wheeler was today called to
an Alabama dispatch advocating his nom
ihation for governor of the state the old
warrior read it with undoubted interest
and care and seemed for a moment to re-
gard it seriously.
Then he remarked with a smile: THE
papers will talk about men, you know.
They are always doing it."
1t was evident, however, that the item
had deeply impressed him.

From the Boston Post (dem.l.

From the Boston Post (dem.).
The appearance of General Joseph
Wheeler as Memorial day orator in Bos-
tanned by the public. The crowds which
thronged the Boston theater yesterday
forenoon, the sincere enthusiasm manifest
ed, the hearty reception accorded this sol
der of two wars, all went to show how
closely united in sentiment are the two
sections which in 1861 were arrayed against
each other in armed conflict.
The situation was almost dramatic.
Massachusetts, and especially the city of
Boston, represented the ultra sentiment of
the north in the issues on which the civil
war was fought. General Wheeler repre-
scented the ultra southern side in the quar-
rel. But at the invitation of an organiza-
ton of the men who fought against him,
this old enemy speaks the eulogy on his
antagonists of the civil war, the common
wealth welcomes him as a fitting orator on
this occasion, and the public gathers to
listen and applaud. History may be search
ed in vain for parallel incident.
The significance of General Wheelers adj
dress may be found in the enthusiastic re-
ception of those portions in which he por-
trayed the greatness of a united country
and the eagerness of the people of the sec
ton which he represents to do their part
in making the future of the republic hon.
orabe and glorious. General Wheeler has
testified his sincerity in this purpose not
only by his words, but by his acts. 1t has
done good to have him come here to Boston
and tell US about it.

HOW SOME OF THE "sAvAGEs" LIVE

Letter from Charles S. Cox, of the Fourth
Cavalry.
From Manila to Malolos is one constant
succession of villages, the subprbs of one
running into the next one The roads are
splendid and with the exception of the
jungles every bit of it either is or has
been cultivated The whole country is
deserted, except for a very few old men
and children. The heavier articles of
furniture have not been taken from the
houses, and the elegence of some of these
Filipino houses would surprise you. Pia-
nCs, dozens of them, are left behind, of
French and German makes; splendid harpS
and carved furniture till you can't rest.
1t was a peculiar experience to come into
Malolos and only find so or 60 Cinnamon
in it. and no one else. 1t would be like
riding into Quincy, ILL.,, and finding all the
houses intact, but not soul there. The
Insurgents probably were afraid of our
shelihg and burning the city, so they re-
treated to Calumpit and Santa Maria,
where we will probably go for them next.

GEN. WHEELER FOR GOVERNOR

From the Selma Times.
The name OF General Wheeler is being
given quite a boost just at the present
time for governor. The Times believes
that it would allow tho use of his name,
that it would avert great deal of bitter
ness and reunite the party that Governor
Johnston has split asunder General
Wheeler is a man upon whom all factions
can unite and should he consent to enter
the race he would most assuredly be elect
ed. He has not taken any part in the
constitutional convention question and is
O. man who would command the respect
and confidence of all sections of all fac
lions.

Great Scott! Listen to this from the

make a good running mate for Bryan in

strength to the ticket" The Journal is en-
tirely too modest. Why not put Johnston
first?

REFLECTIONS OF A BACH Flor.
From the New York Press.

From the New YORK Press.
The only way to keep a woman from tell
ing on you is to have her mixed up in 1t,
too.
The devil has always known better than
to try to deceive a woman; he lets her de-
ceive herself.
When some women pretend to be running
away from a man they just run around
and run in a very small circle.
The difference beteween a man and a
woman who do wrong Is that she Is glad
she is sorry she did and he Is sorry he is
glad he did.

The Journal can only say that it seems
to it that here is one man upon whom all
the factions could unite and bridge the

the bulwark which has protected her citi-
zens and given to them peace and pros
perity.

for acting as a resident militia,
