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. The platform of Dr. Swallow, the pro hibitionist candidate for governor of Penn sylvania is "Thou shalt not steal.” This Platform is regarded in Pennsylvania as a deadly stab at personal liberty, savs an exchange. 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.

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.

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.
