BROWNSVILLE INCIDENT.

The question of the rights or
wrongs of the colored soldiers dis
missed from the Twenty-hfth lnfan-
try on account of the Brownsville at
fray has been completely lost to sight
in the tanglc of politics that has
grown up around it. Senator For
akcr's resolution providing for SIM
pie investigation into the facts had
been before the Senate for long
time, affording endless opportunities
for talk, as well as for embarrassing
the President and obstructing leg
islation against vested interests. SEN
ator Lodge tried to flank Foraker by
offering an amendment that would
have committed the Senate in ad-
vance to a recognition of the Presi-
dents constitutional right to act as
he did He soon saw that this would
not work, and then both Republican
factions agreed upon compromise
resolution, which was called a "modi
fcation" of Foraker's original reso-
luton, by which the investigation was
to be explicitly limited to the facts
in the case, entirely ignoring the con-
stitutional question. Everything
seemed lovely on the Republican side
when Senator Blackburn, the Demo-
cratic leader, threw a bomb in the
form of an amendment providing that
the investigation should be undertake
en- without questioning or denying
the legal right of the President to
discharge without honor enlisted men

To vote for this would be TO defeat

them in little more open attitude OF
hostility to the President than they
wished to appear in at that stage OF

TONSILLITIS.

The tonsils are two collections of
gland-like structures at the back part
of the mouth, one on each side, be-
tween the pillars of the palate. 1t is
not known what purpose they serve.
Some have supposed that they arrest
the germs of disease which may be
inhaled or taken in with the food;
but they evidently can catch very few
of the germs which rapidly pass them
in the food or water, or in the air
which is inhaled; and it is well they
cannot, for they are themselves very
susceptible to disease, as some suf-
ferers know to their sorrow. Others
have thought they serve an evil pur-
pose, acting as portals of entry for
many disease-germs into the body.
The tonsils are very liable to be-
come inhamed. This condition con-
stitutes tonsillitis, or, when an abs
cess forms, quinsy. Young persons,
over fifteen and under thirty, are most
subject to inflammation of the tonsils.
although children and even those we'll
along in life may suffer. 1t occurs
with special frequency in those whose
tonsils are enlarged, and usually in
persons who are run down" in gen.
eral heaelth, or in whom the power of
resistance has been lowered as re-
suit of worry or overexertion.
There are various kinds of tonsil-
litis, but the symptoms of all are
quite similar in the beginning The
patient feels i'll, has chilly sensations,
loss Of appetite, more or less head
ache, perhaps, constipation, feverish-
ness, and feeling of discomfort or
actual pain in the throat. Soon the
fever becomes high, the throat is dry.
swallowing is painful, there is often
more or less earache, and the patient
seems to be seriously ill.,
Suppuration may or may not occur.
The pain and throbbing are most Sc
we're when it does.
The attack lasts usually from two
or three days to week, and is apt to
terminate quite suddenly, although
if but one tonsil has been affected, re-
covery may be delayed by an extern
sion of the inflammation to the other
tonsil In that case the whole tire

ALABAMlANs AT vIckssURe.

From the Montgomery Advertiser
few weeks ago the governor of Iowa,
and other officials of that state, and
many veterans of the Union army spent
half day in Montgomery. They were
on tour of visits to the national parks,
where they had been unwilling monu-
ments erected by their state to soldiers
of the war of 61-65 They went from this
city to Chattanooga and In Chickamauga
park continued the service they had per-
formed at Vicksburg, and on Shiloh bat
tlefield. It was very interesting to hear
these men talk of what their state was
doing to honor and perpetuate the memory
and heroism of Its soldiers.
There is today in Montgomery one of
the souths great military leaders. Gen.
stephen d. Lee. He is the head of the
United Confederate Veterans. and will
occupy the position as long as he will
agree to accept the high position. He is
a member of the Vicksburg National Park
commission. and the Alabama soldiers
who took part in the great campaign in
and around that place know what hero
ism was displayed and hardships en-
dured by their dead and living comrades.
No place is more beautiful by nature
than the actual battlefields around Vieks-
burg and the United States government
is preserving the grounds in a way that
will make them attractive to future gen.
erations
Alabama has no monument there to tes-
tify to the heroism of her soldiers on that
eventful and fateful field. Any monument
or monuments which the state or people
will supply. can be placed there, and the
great number of Alabamians who partie-
ipated in the battles and the seige makes
1t a duty to supply the omission.
We ask the attention of legislators and
people generally to the earnest appeal Of
General Lee. and his associate commits
sioners on behalf of this work.

Aid for the Veterans

Every southern state pays pensions
to surviving Confederate veterans
every one, and this is a fact to be
proud Of.
In Virginia the average pension is
$50 year. In South Carolina 1t is
but $1SS5. The average pension in
Georgia is $50, and so it is In Louis
lana In North Carolina it is $25 a
year; in Mississippi $22; in Arkansas,
$40; in Texas, SIS. The lowest pen
sion in Tennessee is $50 a year, and
the highest $500.
The rate in Tennessee is perhaps the
highest, but Georgia's aggregate pay
ment TO the old veterans is unques-
tionably the largest. At present Geor-
gia is distributing to 1900 old soldiers
about 100000 year Virginia pays
out $250,0O0; North Carolina. 100000;
Texas, $250,000. Tennessee has but
1866 pensioners all told, whereas in
this state there are over $4,000, and in
Georgia even more.
These facts seem to indicate that all
the states Which were parts of the Con-
federacy are aiding the old Confeder-
ates to live comfortably in the closing
years Of their honorable lives, and Ala
bama should not fall behind any Of
them in that respect. Alabama and
Georgia held many veterans, but neither
regrets that fact, and both states
will do their utmost to carry aid to
those who stood by the south in the
days of strife and battle.

Samuel Will Johns Lobby Bill

The antilobby bill of Representative
John is still practically intact, but it is
still in the hands of the house commit
tee. 1t is a drastic bill, but it does not
outrun the evil it aims to eradicate.
Reports say the two houses are beset
by lobbyists who do not seem to fear
the John bill that is hanging over them
Both sides of the liquor issue, for ex-
ample, maintain lobbyists in the CAPT
toll "The liquor interests" says the
correspondent of The Age-H Herald,
"haye several men on guard" and the
anti-saloon league is represented by
the Rev. Brooks Lawrence, and he and
the gentlemen associated with him
are making a great show" at Montgom-
cry. What is taking place over liquor
bills of one sort or another may spring
up at any time over score of other
issues.
Representative John proposes TO
stop, or rather to regulate, all work of
lobbyists. He would cause them 20
register, and any failure to comply
would subject the offender to fine or
Imprisonment or both.
The bill is drastic, but the demo
cratic party demands an anti-lobby bill
that will restrict the evil to the mar
rowest proportions The John bill is
before a committee, and when it Is
brought before the house it will un-
doubtedly be discussed freely. The
hope is that it will be kept as radical
and as drastic as circumstances will
permit. The evil has long existed, and
1t should be rooted out, or at least
sternly regulated.

The Warrior is to receive $2,l92OOO,

the improvement of that river $2,S42,-
GEO This will put in seven locks, five
of which will carry the Improvement
over Squaw Shoals, and the additional

heart of this district.

den was chiefly his own, because he
