G. A. RS KICKING
Union Veterans Strongly Con-
denim the Utterances of the
President.

Washington. President Roosevelt
has been centured by a New Hamp.
shire Grand Army post because he
wrote to a Southern friend referring
with pride to the share two kinamen
of his had taken on the Confederate
side during the civil war. What the
president has said in every utteranoe
on the subject Of the civil war has
been to the same effect, not that he
now entertains, or ever has enter
tanned, any doubt of the righteous
ness Of the Union cause, or any two
opinions of where he would have
ranged himself as Northern man IL
he had fought in the war of 1851.
Nor are any misgivings mingled with
his satisfaction at the way that war
terminated, but his satisfaction has
never been that of sectional parti-
san gloating over an adversary in de-
feat, but always full Of a patriotic
sense that the result was better for
the entire country, and, coupled with
pleasure at seeing the Southern peo-
pie confirm this conclusion by renew
ing their generous devotion to the
government established by the faith
ors. His pride in the word Of his
kinsmen on the other side has been
commensurate with the personal valor
they showed in the presence OF the
enemy and the courage with which
they staked their whole future to
stand up to what they believed WAS
right, whether they agreed with the
view he holds or not. He has in all
cases referred to the bravery Of the
men on both sides as an example to
the world. regardless Of the opinions
held by the one party or the other.
He believes that the time passed. long
ago when man can be condemned
| by intelligent public opinion for 60
ing with his state in the civil war, al
long as he had been brought up il
| the historic doctrine that the Union
was merely federation Of sovereign
states, liable to disruption at any
time by the retirement of partners
who felt that their colleague had moi
kept faith with them. Resolutions
of censure aimed at any other sup
posed ideas on his part, or at forced
end absurd Interpretation Of anything
he has said or written on the subject,
are mere wind.

AN ALEXANDRIA SENSATION.


Alexandria. The Board OF Alder
men met In special session Friday
night and repealed the ordinance
passed ten or AfVeen days ago grant
ing franchise to the Morgan g
Louisiana and Texas Railroad and
Steamship Line to build tracks and
aud RIM trains up and down and across
Front street in this city. In pur-
suanee Of the above ordinance the
mayor put force Of hands to work
taking up the railroads tracks in
Front street. Saturday afternoon ar
affidavit was made before Justice OF
the Peace A. B. Rachael, charging S.
NJ. Welsh, mayor, and O. H. Burkey
street commissioner, with willfullJ
aud feloniously trespassing upon thu
said railroad oompany's property. A
warrant was issued for their arres
which was executed by Sheriff Stat
ford. The parties were admitted t.
bail in the sum of $3.50 each, whicI
they furnished.
The railroad company claims tina
the city of Alexandria had no au
thority to prevent it from running It'll
trains on Front street, as 1t has beer
given permission to do so by thu
Levee Board. Litigation will very
likely grow out Of the affair

Adiutant General Corbin said that
the Board of Brevets, recently ap-
pointed to meet at the war depart
ment, would devote its attention
solely to the cases Of officers and en-
listed men who especially distin-
guished themselves in the campaigns
in China and in the Philippines. 1t
will have nothing to do with respect
to the case of officers who rendered
special service In the West Indian
campaign. The late class of cases
was disposed Of by similar board
which concluded its sessions over a
year ago. While the fact that bre.
vet had been recommended to con-
gress for Col. Roosevelt was published
at the time the examinations were
sent to the senate, 1t appears that
there were two separate recommends
tions, and the exact basis for the
boards action was not made public.
Therefore the adjutant general fur
nished these transcripts from the pro-
ceedings of the board:

pulp Is Of great value in the beet pro-
duotion. AS for tobacco, We are rails

not quite equal to the Sumatra wrap
per, and our filler is equal to large
part Of the Cuban product. Of course
it Is not equal to Pinar del Rio TO-

to encourage, rather than discourage,
the sugar and tobacco industries OF
the United States. Reciprocity con-
cessions to Cuban sugar and tobacco
would strike serious blow at our
own industries.
