Dewey's Great Victory.
At last brave Commodore Dowey has
been luui'd from, ami the official report
Lilly comflrms the first nows of the great
naval victory.
The <)< lay in receiving this report caused
many to grow fearful that (Dewey had
Inen entrapped, ami for several days past
general uneasiness luas been felt.
Hut the suspense has been relieved, and
there is now official proof that the first
report* wa re In no wise exaggerated. In
deed, the latest reports show that the bat
tle was even more 'wonderful than at first
thought. (The lact that so few Americans
were injured and that all of our ships
tseaped injury U exiruuiely remarkable,
in view o', l.ie tearful casualties on the
Spanish side.
lAiwey’s victory will compare favorably
Willi any in American history, and our
people will sing .ills praises anew, now
mat there is no longer any doubt about
the completeness oi his victory.

‘Nothing so becomes a lion as buccaneer
ing. ’The Spaniards are historically the
most bloodthirsty oi civilized people. When
the buccaneers were kings of trie Spanish
Main, the recital of their deeds of uiaboi-
Ism would fill .a library.
Here is a quintet that can hardly be par

(Hernando Cortez, the “Conqueror of
Mexico," burned alive Mon lei.u mass gen
eral and his officers; obtained Gou.ooo
mdrks oi pure gold tor Montezuma's ran
som. then imprisoned ami tortured him to
death; also Ins successor and his subjects,
wuo revolt.d, only to be practically exter
minated.
Wdro Alvardro, the lieutenant of Cortez,
called in history "The Cruel,” invaded
Guatemala, pilaged its treasury, ruled by
'blood and torture, and left, 1541, with the
record of having put to death or banished
over hall a million people in liftteen years,
i'raucis I‘izaro, the "Conqueror of Peru,”
murdered Alahualpa, the Inca, and utterly
wiped out a great civilization. Pizarro and
his successors almost exterminated the
Incas ami utterly destroyed their monu
ments, temples and even ejties.
Philip 11, of (Spain, sent to the Nether
lands the remorseless Huke of Alva in
3567. Six years later Alva returned to his
master boasting of having caused the
death in tortures of 18,000 persons, not
counting the multitudes massacred in bat
tles.
Valeriano Weyler, ex-Governor General
of Cuba, known as the "Butoher,” was
sent to Cuba to repess the revolutrion.
The clamor of the civilized world caused
his recall. In two years he had massacred
and tortured 400,000 persons, not counting
the patriots killed in battles.

War President of the United States.
Since the time when, by the adoption
of the Constitution, the confederated states
became a nation, the United States have
fought three wars, the present war being
the fourth. Then President McKinley be
comes the fourth war prcsidiat of the
United States.
°t> r first "war president” was James
adison, that little Jim Madison with a
cue not bigger than a pipe stem.” as the
disgusted Washington barber referred to
him. and wondered what the country was
coming to when the nation would pass by
big. portly men wih cues—“as big as a
Tope and powdered every day.” to elect a
lit tel shaver president. Aaron Burr called
him the great little Madison.”
The war of ISI2 against Great Britain
to enforce neutrality rights of the United
Stales, was forced upon Madison by Clay
Calhoun and Crawford, much against his
judgment and will. Nevertheless, the fed
eralists who were opposed to the war
dubbed it “Madison’s War.”
The next war of the United States was
the Mexican war. The president of that
war time was James K. Polk, the slender
eloquent graceful Tennesseean, member of
Congress for fourteen yarn, speaker for
six year* and ex-governor of his state.
That war, strongly and even bitterly op
posed by the Whigs and Abolitionists, was
called, rightly. “Polk’s War.” Rightly I
uay; for President Polk and his adminis
tration, following the advice of ex-Presi
dent Jackson. brought it on against the
original wish and judgment of Congress.
The third war was that for the Union.
Its president was that tall, gaunt, ungain
ly, intensely original and natural Lincoln
the tallest man that ever was cnosen pres
ident, and the most nobly eloquent.
Our fourth war, now just beginning,
finds in the presidency William McKinley’
short, of middle weight, polite, grave, stu
dious of the small proprieties.
Our war presidents have been childless,
finve only Abraham Lincoln. All have
I been lawyer*. Ail have been ex-members
j of Congress.
■Madison was a Princeton graduate and
Polk a graduate from the University of
; North Carolina. Neither Lincoln or Mc-
• Kinley had a college education.
i Madison was an Episcopalian and when
young studi<-d for the ministry. Polk was
i baptized on .his deathbed, and joined the
< PreabyU rian church. Lincoln was a Meth-
I odist, as is also McKinley.
In politic* Madison *as a Jeffersonian
! Republican (Democrat,) P„lk a j aZ k*on
| Democrat, Lincoln and McKinley lUpubli
i cans.
Madison died in a good old age. Polk
died within three months of leaving the
" nite house, and when only 54. Lincoln
wa« assassinated early in his second term
• at the early age of 56.
All four were between 50 and 60 years of
age when inaugurated.
The wives of all three of the earlier
"war presidents” long outlived them.
In t.Ms .war the <man who has had the
yellow fever is much more valuable than
one who has aspiration.-: w Ibe a major
g< neral, says the Savannah Press.
1 he man who has impudi nt aspirations
itrigadier general and who has not

Heroes of the Hold.
in wat times men are inclined to the’
loeiici that the opportunity tor a display
or heroism is greatest at uie point oi
greatest uunger. Commenting on a dis
cussion of tnm subject, as related to a
luvUeru uattieship, t Ue Columbus&nquirer-
Sun says:
"mown in the bowels of the ship, down
where the engineers uiiJ fin-men have no
weapons, but are busily engaged in study
ing the steam guageu and in feeding tne
iavenous grates with coal and furnishing
the boiler with steam, is where the grit is
iiKi.-.l in demand. They are cut oil from
the excitement that stimulates heroic
deisi.-. in the men at the guns, and with
out an avenue of escape, without a chance
of .-.all ty if the vessel is lost, they must
await the outcome oi the deadly struggle.
I.title do tuey know when a torpedo will
ram its nose against the side of the vessel,
u-ar a .great rent in the hull, and let in a
flood oi water tnat will drown them al
most b< fore they can move from their
posts. The duties of the mm on deck re
quire good mettle, but the duties of the
iiivu In tile hold oi the battleships require
the most superb heroism and courage.”
4ms idea, which is an excellent one,
may be 'broadened and applied to the men
of itu.- country who have not felt called
upon to go to the front in arms, says the
Manufacturers’ Record. When volunteers
are marched away with flying Hags anu
amid enthusiastic cheers of thousands or
spectators it may be very difficult at times
for a man to resist the temptation to be
come an active combatant, but just as the
battleship would be of no practical value
as a ship without the coolness and pluck
of the men at the engine, or the coal
heavers in the hold, so there would be lit
tle to be gained by a nation whose whole
energies were occupied in destructive
operations of warfare. The fighters and
those who direct theft have to be sustain
ed, and that they may be properly sus
tained the industrial engines must be kept
under proper control and the means for
that purpose must he steadily maintained.
There i'S no excitement in the perseverance
of a merchant, a manufacturer or a far
mer in the usual routine of life while the
gaze of a people is intent upon dramatic
incidents upon land or sea. It may re
quire decided courage for an investor to
carry out during war plans formed in
peace; it may be irkksome for a man phys
ically fitted for military duties to con
tinue in the humdrum of daily labor, bat
such persons in private life who feel that
their duty holds them to their positions at
home are rendering just as much service
to their country as the members of great
armies or naval forces. There are heroes
of the quarter-deck, but there are also
heroes of the hold.
Fighting Bob Evans says that if he had
his way the .Spanish language 'would ;pi’e
dominate in the nether regions for some
time to oome. (Dewey has done his share
and it uow remains for (Sampson and
Evans to fill the place up with the dons.
While -all the iworld is agog over war
Gladstone, the -greatest man of them all,
the greatest of all statesmen, the leading
spirit in international affairs for the last
half a century is passing away from the
scene of his struggles and his triumphs.
It is in order for some more of the little
politicians of the (Atkinson stripe to
piroute a little for the grand stand. They
are liable to be forgotten unless they make
buffoons of themselves.
“Mexico’s mission,” remarks the Mexico
Herald, "is to set an example of peace and
goodness to men and take in the inciden
tal profits of minding one’s own business.”
The Washington Post says: "Blanco is
now beginning to realize that what he
needs are more provisions and less voca
bulary.”
Bril Atkinson and his imitators are
making innumerable grand stand plays,
but the public is on to their curves.
Meanwhile Atkinson stock is dropping,
Spencer now knows that there is some
thing in a name after all.
When the war on land does bagin. Nel
son Miles will have to make way for a
capable soldier.
We’ve got the ships and we’ve got the
men and Spain bias neither since the bat

be made a major general.
Macon will do her share by the boys at

Griffin has been transformed into a gar
rison town.

MAKING WAR ON PAPER.
Chickamauga Soldiers Chafing at Their
Enforced Idleness— Speculation.
Camp George H. Thomas. Field of
■Chickamauga, Ga., May 7. —The war with
the Spaniard* is fought to a successful fin
ish in Camp Thomas every day—that is, on
paper. The board of strategy does not by
any means represent the only people who
are figuring the campaign out to suit
themselves. Every commissioned officer
here has read of Cuba, thought of Cuba,
talked of Cuba, until many are better ac
quainted with the character of its inhabi
tants, its typography and climatic condi
tions than they are of the same conditions
of their native states.
The opinions of the strategists being di
verse, many arguments result as to what
should be the policy of the war depart
ment. One thing, however, can always be
relied on. Each branch of the army, in
fantry, cavalry and artillery, is soundly
of Hie opinion that its immediate presence
in Cuba would be productive of more good
than any other move that could possibly
be made. The wish is very often the fa
ther of the soldiers' plan of invasion.
This morning a half dozen cavalry lieu
tenants were lying in the shade of an ap
ple tree. Spread on tho ground in the cen
ter of the group was the “Pearl of the An
tlles.” The discussion waxed long, but was
fruitless of results. The only on which
they were a unit was that the war depart
ment should send all the cavalry to the
scene of action as soon as possible. This
is but a type of what is going on in all
the camps every day. The mimic war is
antedating the real article.
The officers here, especially the older
ones, are pretty good prophets. Give one
of them a shoe string and he will figure
out a tannery. An order that is apparently
insignificant is full of meaning to the old
campaigner. He turns it over in his mind
and evolves other orders of far greater im
portance, that usually follow in two or
three days.
Thus it is that tho paper campaign is
being waged at Camp Thomas every day,
with nothing better than a pocket map of
Cuba or the “off side” of a telegraph
blank as a base of action. The soldiers
are growing very impatient of these
bloodless encounters by flood and field, and
will eagerly welcome the message that
shall bring tho order “On to Havana.”

In Plaee of a Wardrobe,
For tbo girl whose bedroom boasts no
wardrobe and only a single closet to hold
her everyday garments it is necessary to
utilize any recess there is To do this get
a board the w idth of the recess and as high
as can be conveniently reached Have
screw hooks j lacrxi uj on it for the waists
Against the wall stretch a length of ere
tonne or muslin Lit this hang down just
twice tin- length of the recess. Under the
headboard have a six inch hoard with
screw hooks on it lor the skirts Then on
the very fro t edge of the headboard have
very small books screwed in and corre-
Sjrutniingly tiny rings on the extreme edge
of the long piece of cretonne. When the
skirts anti bodices are hung on their re
spective pegs. turn up this cretonne and
catch the rings into the hooks, thus, as it
were, inclosing the dresses in a loose hag.
Outside of this recess, a few inches higher
than the heiuilxjard, have a little brass
rod fastened, on which, by rings, one can
hang a pretty curtain, which will conceal
the cretonne bag. —New York Post.
Derivation of Settle.
An amusing instance of irresponsible
derivation is given in the ’* Dictionary of
Archilloture, * published under the aus
pices of the Architectural Publication so
ciety, under the head of ’’Settle,” which
is stated to lie “perhaps derived from ‘seat
all people,” ex temp. Henry VIII, at the
ureen Dragon public house. Coni be St.
Nicholas, Somersetshire," and “settee,”
which Professor Skeat calls “an arbitrary
variation of settle,” is defined to lie a
stone bench, the word being actually de
rived from the Anglo-Saxon sell, a seat.—
