What the Flying Squadron Is.
More interest, perhaps, attaches to the
Flying Squadron just now that to any
other portion of our navy, In view of the
fact that ft will, in all probability, be the
first American fleet to engage active
hostilities.
On Wednesday last it was thought that
the squadron had In■<n ordered to I’orto
Rico or Cuba, but It now develops that it
Is now off Cape Henry engaged in man
< uveiillg.
it Is nevertheless of considerable inter
est to know what the White Squadron is.
Jt is of the most formidable character, anel
despite the fact that the vessels as a whole
are not so heavily armored as the Spanish
l>oat:<, ranging but from four to eleven
Inches, an compared with nine and twelve
of th< Spanish, Mill the American armor
is of nickel steel and Harveyized, which
gives, it is believed,‘additional protection.
"1 tie squadron also carries more and faster
large calibre guns than the Spanish, and
the breach action of some of the largest
of these Is so simple that they may be
practically classed with the rapid fire guns
of smaller calibre.
The largest gun carried on any Spanish
■war ship now in actual service is of 11.5
Inche s calibre, but of the Flying Squadron,
the Massachusetts alone has four 13-lnch
guns, capable at each well directed shot of
doing terrible damage. -
The strength of the squadron for fight
ing purposes is remarkable. In main and
Ktcondary batteries the five ships carry 129
heavy guns, in addition to which there are
three torpedo tubes on the Brooklyn and
Hi Gatling guns in the fighting tops of the
war vessels. Os thirteen inch guns, send
ing at each shot 1,150 pounds of iron and
steel at an energy of 3.G00 foot tons, there
ore four; of 12-inch guns carrying 840
pounds of meial hi each shot, there* are
two; of eight inch guns there* are ten. In
the* rapid fire guns, capable* of great de
struction. there are 14 six inch guns, eight
five inch guns and 10 four Inch guns, be
sides numerous six pounders and one
pounder*.
In armament throughout and in detail,
the ships may be* classified* as follows:
Battle ship Massachusetts, of 10.288 tons
displacement and a speed of about seven
teen knots when forced; low freeboard
and, consequently, not good target for the*
enemy: completely armored, with one
fighting top. and carries four thirteen
inch breech-loading rilles, four eight-inch
rapid-fire rifles, four six-inch rapid-fire
rilles, twenty six-pounders and four gat
ling guns; in calibre* of fighting guns she
is the most formidable battle ship in the.
■world.
Battle ship Texas, of G. 315 tons dis
placement and a speed of seventeen knots,
with low freeboard and great range with
rilles: carries two twelve-inch breech
toading rifles, six six-inch breech-loading
rifles: twelve six-pounders, six one-pound
ers and two 37 Hotchkiss repeating can
non; she is heavily and completely ar
mored.
Brooklyn, armored cruiser. flagship,
completely armored, besides having steel
foundation; high freeboard; {ter only fault,
makes a good target for an enemy: total
displacement. 9.271 tons; sQeed. twenty
*two knots per hour: armament, eight
eight-inch breech-loading rifles, eight five
incji breech-loading rifles, rapid fire;
twelve six-pounders, four one-pounders,
■three torpedo tubes and four gatling guns
in her fighting tops; her eight-inch guns
will drop a shot with accuracy three miles.
Minneapolis, protected cruiser, not com
pletely armored, of 7,375 tons displacement
and capable of speeding at a rate of 23’4
knots. Peek is protected. Armament con
sists of one eight-inch breech-loading rifle,
•t*wo six-inch rapid fire guns, eight four
inch rapid Are guns, twelve six-pounders,
four one-pounders and four Gatling guns.
Columbia, protected cruiser, without ar
mor belt, of G. 735 tons displacement and
capable of making 23 knots an hour. Peck
protected and guns behind steel shields.
Armament consists of one eight-inch
breech-loading rifle, two six-inch rapid
fire guns, twelve six-pounders, four one
pounders and four Gatling guns.
The latter two cruisers are fast fighters
and speedy, and will be used for* recon
noitering, but are also capable of doing
hard battle behind the lines. In a stand
still engagement the tw 5 battle ships.
Massachusetts and Texas, would do the
bulk of the work, assisted by the Brook
lyn. the two smaller cruisers acting as
scouts and chasers to protect the ships of
the line from small craft.

hibitionist candidate for governor of Penn
sylvania is "Thou shalt not steal.” This

t
War Means Heavier Taxes.
How ane we to raise the money for war?
s a question asked on every hjnd And
it is one that interests every citizen of
the Republic, for the probability is every
CBizPn will have to contribute his quota*. ’
There are two ways in which the gov
«.ri"meDtx C t n ° btai " the huse additional
sums which will be needed. The firs* is
by the importation of war taxes: the sec
ond by borrowing the money, and paying
interest on it until the debt is paid. ‘
The first method is already being dis.
to favor the imposition of a tax on tea
and coffee, putting an additional dollar
per barrel on beer, with perhaps a-revival
of stamp duties on bank cheeks deeds
mortgages, proprietary medicines, per
fumery, etc. 1
-A tax of ten cents a pound upon tea
and three cents on coffee would yield over
125,000.000 per year. The increased tax or
beer would yield f 30.000.090 per year'
I>uring the civil war tea paid 25 cents and
coffee fifteen cents a pound; afterward the
taxes were reduced to fifttep and three
cents, and in 1872 abolished entirely The
price of tea at that time, however, was so
much higher than it is at present that a
duty of ten cents now would be equivalent
to seventeen and a half cents at that time.
These taxes, however, would not raise
the money as fast as it would be needed
and there is no doubt that the government
would be compelled to borrow. Issuing
i bonds of small denomination!' and offering
' them to our own citizens.
This war tax should be kept up until the
\ debt was paid. It is roughly estimated
i that war with Spain would require not less
than $500,000,000 to carry it to completion.
: and it is may take much more.
The Spanish cabinet is meeting the cri
firmly to all appearances, while’ war
| preparations are going ahead as rapidly as
possible. But no war vessels are being
; dispatched across the Atlantic. All tn.--
j preparations are making in Spain and her
immediate dependencies, the Balearic
j Isiese, the Canaries and Cape Verde Is--
i lands, nob s the Toledo Blade. This
I means that Spain proposes to choose the
i scene of the actual fighting. She tacitly
1 admits that we can capture Cuba ami Por
to Rico; but that will not enh the war by
anw means. She will authorize privateer
ing, and these pirates will prey on our
commerce, harrass our seaboard, and com
pel us ultimately to cross the Atlantic
in force to fight her to a standstill. At
least that is the most probable interpreta
tion to put upon the policy she is dis
playing.
There is only one way by which you can
get the news before night. Now is the
time to subscribe.
A Silly Falsehood.
The 'Merriweather Vindicator, which 13
one of Governor Atkinson’s personal or
gans, publishes an editorial, which is
doubtless inspired, that for pure, unadul
terated cussedness is ahead of anything
that has come up during the present gu
bernatorial campaign.
Governor Atkinson,s Merriweather hand
organ declares that Colonel Evan P. How
ell, when a candidate over a year ago for
United States senator, boosted Steve Olay
as a candidate, hoping in the round up to
get Clay's strength for Howell. Shrew ob
servers percieve, declares the Merriweather
paper, tnat the same kind of tactics are
being employed now; the Atlanta Consti
tution is booming Colonel Candlgr, hop
ing the event of a deadlock that Howell or
dusßi-bnon may secure the Candler dele
gate.
The above is hardly worth noticing except
to call attention to the sort of tactics em
ployed by the Atkinson crowd. They are
ready to do anything and say anything to
beat Candler.
There is probably not a man in Georgia
fool enough to believe the above fairy
story, and we doubt if even its author be
lieved it when he wrote it, but he saw in
It a chance to hurt Colonel Candler.
The people, however, are heartily sick
and tired of such methods, and they are
going to repudiate the men who are re
sponsible for them. If you don't believe
it. now, you will on June Gth.
The naming of the new battery on Sul
livan’s island, Charleston harbor, after
Sergeant William Jasper is probably the
only instance on record in this country of
a tort being named in honor of any sol
dier other than a commissioned officer,
notes the Athens Banner. Sergeant Jas
per his life at Savannah on October
9„ 1797, while planting the flag of the
Second South Carolina Regiment on the
British ramparts. The spot at which he is
supposed to have fallen is on what is now
Liberty street, between Jefferson and
Montgomery. The Monument in Madison
Square, south of the Be Solo hotel, is Sa
vannah’s testimonial to the heroism of the
gallant Jasper.
Senators Proctor and Sewell have intro
duced bills in the Senate for the reorgan
ization of the line of the a’rmy. Both bills
are on the same lines and provide that the
army of the United States shall consist of
ten regiments of cavalry, seven regiments
of artillery, a battalion of engineers and
twenty-live regiments of infantry. The
total enlisted men in* the army is restrict
ed to 30,000 in time of peace, but an in
crease is provided for in war by enlarging
the infantry companies to 150 men each.
The Rome Tribune has the following:
"Ex-Congressman James H. Blount was a
visitor i'll Rome yesterday. His friends
here were pleased to see him. He was a
member of congress over twenty years,
and served his country ably and faith-'
fully.” .
Senator Thurston has introduced a bill
in Congress making a permanent annual
appropriation of $2,500,000 for the purpose
of increasing the efficiency of the national
guard, and $300,000 for the improvement
of the naval reserve.
The' Spaniards may as well learn that
they cannot win this war with a press

Appeal.

A tiny girl cf ur thereabout gave a
dinner party th'* otii»r day for which 12
covers were- laid, ami that number of
small maidens sat down to dine. It was
a real little girls’ dinner, and the little
hostess herself presided, sitting at the
head of the table. But "she was anxious *
in looking forward to it, to do every
thing as it should be done.
“Mamma,” she asked. “shall wo sat
grace?”
“No,” said mamma, “it will boa
very informal dinner, and 1 think you
need not do that. ”
That meant one less ceremony to bo
gone through ano was a relief, but tbo
little lady was anxious to have all her
small guests understand it. So as they
were gathered about the table she ex

P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, Saves
a Man From Becoming a Cripple.
Mr. Asa Ammons, fe. well-known
citizen of Jacksonville, Florida, was
afflicted by a terrible ulcer. Medical
skill seemed unavailing in stopping the
ravages of the terrible disease. The
leg was swollen and intensely painful,
as the ulcer had eaten its way down
to the very bone. AH medicines and
treatments having failed to effect a
cure, the doctors said the leg must
come oft’.** Just when it seemed that
Mr. Ammons would become a disabled
and a crippled man, he tried P. P. I’.,
Lippman's Great Remedy, and the re
sult was wonderful.
P. P. P. SAVUS HIS LEG.
“ Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, 1895.
Two years ago I had thd worst ulcer
on" my leg I ever saw. It had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged a
most offensive matter. My physicians
said I had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At.
this stage I commenced to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot castile
soap suds. It began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to-day
a sound ami useful leg.
“ 1 think P. P. P., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, is all a man could ask for as
a blood purifier, as I have known it to
cure so meterrible cases of blood poi
soning in a remarkably short -time.
•‘ASA AMMONS.”
TERRIBLE BLOOD POISON.
The body covered with sores—two
bottles of P. P. P. made a positive and
permanent cure. This is only one cf
many thousand similar cases.
Catarrh yields at once to P. P. P.
That smothered feeling at night, that
heavy feeling in the day can and
should be removed ; P. P. P. will do it
if you only give it a chance.
Indigestion and constipation go hand
in hand. Headaches and fotal loss of
appetite are the results. Regulate
yoursplf and tone up vour stomach

Oti’y lunatics are so unreasonable r.B
to get furious when some one disagnec
with ui.and so the manufacturer and
io> I;-?r c;u b ivo their little *iitferem.es
i-.nd .still be on tLr. m.,et Hi-. ariiy tcuns
amir* -pect one another s opinions. This
puts me in mind of a stcry'of a clergy
man told me recently He was visiting
an insane asylum and was told by the
k!»u who was showing him around the
institution that be was going to intro
duce him to a patient with whom In
must agree, no matter what absurd state
ments the man might make; otherwise
he would bo furious. The first thing the
insane man said to the clergyman was.
“1 suppose you know that the Washing
ton monument was totally yemedkhed
by a'thunderbolt last night?” “Yes,'
said tile clergyman, ‘'and I felt very
sorry to think that a work that had
taken so long to complete should be de
stroyed in an instant.”
The insane man next said, "Os course
you read m the evening papers that
Queen Victoria had decided to abdicate
in favor of her son, the Prince of
Wales?”
"Yes,’’said the clergyman, "and I
am not at ail surprised. ”
"Did you road that the president had
been impeached?”
"Yes, and 1 think it would have been
only fair to have given him a little lon
ger trial, ” said the clergyman. Then
the insane man locked intently upon
that clergyman and said, "You have
the air and the garb of a clergyman,
but you can lie like the devil. ” —lron
