When {Spain s cabinet decided not to receive our ■ultimatum and handed passports to Min ister Woodford, we expected to see troops rushed forward to Cuba and the Spanish toices driven from the island. We did not then expect any campaign agaist Puerto Hico or the Philippines, and intended to pay the cost of the war ourselves for the good of humanity . When Dewey was ordered to "capture or destroy” the Spanish fleet in the Phil ippines. the chief thought was the protec tion of our Pacific coast. So complete was his victory that the Aehlpelago appeared to he, and doubtless is, like a ripe peach, ready to drop into our hands. When our soldiers reached Manila, the occupation of the island of Luzon and the other large islands will be comparatively easy, although much trouble may be ex. peeled from he savage tribes in revolt against Spanish rfile. Once really in our hands we should see to it that enoagh men and ships are sent forward to hold the island against any possible Spanish relief expedition. We uannot afford, even if we so desired, to retire now in the face of any force. Such retirement would lie construed as a moral victory for Spain, ami would undoubtedly prolong the. war. Besides holding the Philippines decreases the resources or Spain and the results of Dewey’s victory in this regard are only sec ond in importance to’ the immediate re sults of khe first great naval battle. iPractioally holding the Philipinos now, we must <«ontinue to hold them until hos tilities are ended and peace declared. Whether we should desire to bo son firmed in our possession of the islands if a treaty shall be signed, is another question, upon which hinges our future foreign policy. The question, however it may be de cided, will not change one thing which may he considered as definitely settled now; we must have a better navy; one which will enable us to make an offensive campaign when necessary. There can be no surer guaraneee of peace than such a navy will afford, because in view of the unquestioned fighting ability of our sea men, our possession of a large navy will make any nation pause before assailing nt. Such a navy involves the possession of suitable coaling stations. It involves the building, year by year, of battleships, cruisers, coast defense warships and tor pedo boats. It involves greater expendi tures in the navy department, But it dot's not necessarily mean the proprietorship of the Philippine islands, ami the consequent existence of a moral or actual alliance with England to enable us to protect our interests in Asiatic wa ters. A Municipal Pooh-Bah! The mayor of Brunswick, who is a ship chandler on the bay, has succeeded in sig nalizing himself as one of the colossal mistakes of the century. It would not be necessary to scratch very deep under the hair to find the animus that prompted the fiasco of a few days ago in which the mayor of Brunswick played to the grand stand and caught only the bleachers. Mr. Nottingham, a worthy gentleman well known in this section of the state and standing high in his profession as a drug gist. was reported to the mayor as having made the statement that there was yellow fever in Brunswick. Mr. Nottingham had then left by boat for Fernandina, but the mayor of Brunswick, who is one of the slaves of the ring and is also, it seems, a suzerian of the adjacent island of Jekyl, ordered the boat back from is first stopping pl.ice at Jekyl and arrested iMr. Notting ham. ihe gentleman pleaded guilty, but said that ho was merely repeating a state ment made to him by a reputable citizen of Waycross .For the sake of appear ances the mayor placed a tine of S2OO on Mr. Nottingham, who promptly carried the case to the superior court and the city of Brunswick stands no chance of collecting the S2OO. Then came the next opportunitv for the municipal pooh-bah. 'Mr. McNally, a re porter on the Brunswick Times, the lead ing morning paper of Brunswick, which paper by the way is opposed to the ring masters in Glynn county, sent out tele graphic inquiries to the afternoon papers of the state outlining the incident and asking if they wanted a report of it. The Maeon News received the inquiry and verv promptly replied ordering the story in brief, it was sent and printed. But in some way the mayor of Bruns ,h‘ SCoVertd that ,M * Nan >’ was sending out the news. He had him arrested and Placed in jail. History does not give the amount of the fine or the crime with which the newspaper man was charged, A is to be presumed, however, that the mayor o Brunswick is of the opinion that he is an ex-officio press censor and that he has the right to prevent the reporters of Brunswick from sending out accounts of his foolish acts done while he is laboring under the halluciation that he is a master at nd not a slave. The censorial ship chandler jrJ munici pal magistrate of the little city below Sa vannah might do a more foolish thing than to off. r an. apology to Mr McNally, the run..wuk Times and ts the newspaper world and fraternity generally, fie will probaldy find out before his term of office expires that there are many things done in Brunswick that will make good reading for the outside public and which will be profitable to the community in which he lives. Not Armour’s Fault. Represen i a fives of the krmoar Refrig erating Fruit Express, or by whatever name -be coiporauou is known, that has been foriunac.. enougn to secure . contract from toe Central, under which eon tract the fruit growers of the state are to be denied the benent of competition seem to be inclined to object to some statements made in tne Macon News and which have bearing on the question. The information given m the New.s on Saturday was ga thered from the fruit growers themselves and it would be manifestly unfair to re tract the statements made upon such ex cellent authority. But tne News has no tight to make on the Armour people. It has no fight to make on.the Central There is a difference, however, in the view we take of the transaction which has snut oil all competition and which most reputable men and truthful men among the fruit growers say will cost me fruit growers of the state not less than $2u,000. The Ar mour people have done well. No one can olame them. They are not in the busi ness for their health, nor are they philan thropies. They secured the contract, and if they can hold the railroad to it they will have none a good stroke of business, and will clear s2v,wo by tne transactian, minus of course the amount that it takes to compensate the Central for the trouble it has gone to to fight the best interests of its patrons, the growers. Tne Armour people, have done just what any other company would have done. They nave se cured a good contract. The fruit growers, however, say that the Central Kailroad in making that contract did so at their ex pense and they propose to try to save their $20,000. Surely no sane person can blame them for this, and surely no sane person attaches any importance to the feeble argument about ice that is put up by the Armour people. In fact the Ar mour people are not entitled to a say so in this mater while that contract is in ex istence. When that contract is cancelled and they»demonstrate that without the contract they so control the ice as to place all other competitors in the shade they are entitled to the extra profit they can make oti their corner. But the contract is in existence and the Central railroad had clearly no right, as a public carrier, to make it. We do not believe that the con tract can stand before the courts for a minute, and if it does stand then there is something very badly wrong with the courts. The equity of the question is too clear and the road is too clearly in the wrong. The fruit growers have a good case and they have good cause to complain. It does not mater whether the Armour people have hoodwinked a thousand peo ple into the taking of their cars at the advanced prices or not. That is no reason why the other thousand people should be forced to take the other thousand cars at an advanced price when there are other companies waiting to give them as good service for less money.

We learn to recognize it and to spell it by the eye. How often do we feel that a word looks wrongly spelled? Words have to tie taken en bloc, and it would be exactly the same with the “fonetic” monstrosities proposed as their substi tutes.
