Congressman Linney's Foolish
Bill.

States.
Representative Linney of North
Carolina, who proposes to intro
duce in Congress a bill pension
ing former Cenfederates, is not
representing the South and the
brave men who followed the stars
and bars for four years. 1t is
quite safe to say that the people
in this part Of the country will
not approve Mr.. Linney's foolish
bill and it will not secure many
votes among the Southern Demo
Gratis IN the House for the reason
that the old Confederate soldiers
are teo proud to ask OF receive q
pension from the national gov
ernment. They are content to
have their infirm and destitute
comrades cared for by their res
pective States. It is true that in
his speech in New York few
days ago, President Mckinley
said: ssThe followers of Lee and
Grant have fought under the
same flag. Party lines have been
loesened and the ties of union
have been rooted in the hearts of
the American people, :,
Commenting on the Presidents S
utterance, which was nothing
more than bait for votes, the
esteemed Charleston News and
Courier says If this be so, we
ask why not pension all the Con-
federates !? Why discriminate
against them in the division of
the swag collected from them in
common with other Americans !
Let Congressman Linney push his
bill to vote, by all means, if
only to show how very deeply the
ties of Union are rooted in
the hearts of the American pee-
ple.,' This is a clever bit of sar-
casm which will hardly be rel
ished by the gentleman from
North Carolina. If Mr.. Linney
is an Intelligent man he must
know that if he makes any serious
attempt to pass his bill to PEN
sion former confederate soldiers
howl of indignation will go up
in the North and that that noble
band the Grand army of the Re-
public, which has cerner on the
pension business, will be threwn
into commissions. So far afthis
section of the country is& con-
cerned. if Congressman 1hinney
has any respect fer the1o|a sol
diers who fought fol Lost
Cause he will lose no time IN MAX
ing a bonfire of his pension bill.

THE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE co.
Its Petition to Congress Relative to Expulsion
From Prussia Favorably Acted On.
Especial to News and Observer

Washington May 25.-The Congression-
al Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce unanimously voted to report
in favor of the Government taking action
on the petition OF the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company of New York, asking for
redress from the Prussian Government for
it's expulsion without good cause from
the empire. The committee was much
impressed at the hearing by the remarks
of Mr.. Richard A. McCurdy. president of
the company, and by the clear statements
of its counsel, Mr.. Benz. f. Tracy.
The committee recommended the follow
ing resolutions: Resolved by the Sen
ate and the House, That the Secretary of
State be. and is hereby, requested to
take all steps which may be necessary and
proper to obtain from the Government CT
the Kingdom of Prussia a revocation OF
the order Of August nth, 1895, by which
the privilege Of transacting business in
that kingdom was withdrawn from the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of New
York"
1t is considered certain that the resolu-
tion will pass the House, the Feeling OF
the members against the recent action
of the Prussian authorities in the treat
ment of American merchants being parti-
cularly strong.

Two games of baseball were pulled off

ond at o'clock in the afternoon. Char
lotte and Bingham were the contestants
in both games.
Another feature of the day was the
automobile races. This attracted large
crowd, being something never seen here

One remarkable feature of the entire
week has been the good behavior of the
crowds, which on some days have been
immense. An officer says that he has
never before known such gathering to
give so little trouble. At the Southern
depot where hundreds are daily passing
only one arrest has been made this week.
On next Monday the Seaboard will run
a special train to Wadesboro for the bene-
