Therefore let us deco rule! <>n June 11, 1777, the congress of the United iStali adopted the Stans and Strips «h the national emblem. Since that period the glorious banner lias through the shot and shell of many con llicis come out triumphant over every too. Thi' flag Hay of 08 should prove excep tion.illy inipre: sivi lii the name of every thing lor which that, bunting stands, we are prosi ruling a war. It is in the name of humanity. Today the temple of Janus is open, and the people of the world at last have begun to realize, and are willing to admit, that in such a cause the Amer ican piople were right m drawing the sword, our national conscience is still supreme May it ever remain in the as c< iida.nt! 'Nations, like individuals, must be true to themselves, then it must follow as the night the day, they cannot be false to other peoples. Old Glory is the flag of the nineteenth century. It. will be the flag of centuries and centuries to come. It stands for the ibest in history's page. It stands for prog ress, for civilization, for justice, for equity and for that human spirit which must for ever remain a part of our national life, laiiig may it wave over a people ever free and ever true to their traditions! I'lag of the free heart’s hope and home! By angel hands to valor given; Thy stars have lit the welkin dome. And ill thy hues were born in Heaven. (Forever float that standard sheet! AS here breathes the foe but falls before us, W ith freedom’s soil beneath our feet. And Freedom's banner streaming o’er us? The battle of La Quasinl was a great victory for American arms. Though out numbered ami ambushed, the Rough IRl ders and the regular cavalry gallantly charged and forced the en< my to retise. Spanish Ignorance. 1 here Is more Ignorance m high quar ters among the Spaniards than ;»nou,g any ■people on earth. It is interesting to note what their gjiat writers and naval ex perts said of our navy before the battle of Manila. lu "La llustrai'ion Nncional," of Madrid, for instanc . A. de Cauta, the most popular writer in Spain on naval subjects, thus discusses the two navies: if number of ships be the criterion, then a considerable superiority must be adjudged for Hie American navy over ours. Descending to details and necessary con siderations, however, we will find that "* C'at preponderance diminishes greatly. "The navy of Hie United States is af fected “With a most grievous fault—the poor quality of the men which it must use for making up the crews of its ships—the dregs of the population, released convicts, continued criminals and so forth. In addition to this it must be remem bered that a great part of their crew is composed of foreigners of many different nationalities. There cannot exist among them, it goes without saying, that esprit de corps which is so necessary in fighting a country’s battles. "Crews cosiposed of men whose remu neration is the only motive which guides them and the only impulse which actuates them cannot have that enthusiasm and that confluence which are the essential factors in every fight in which pride has to play a part. "The result is, therefore, that if our navy is inferior to the American navy in quantity, it is greatly superior in quality, since our sailors, in addition to their transcendent bravery,’which is universally acknowledged, possess discipline, enthu siasm and confidence, which the Yankees are far from having. Moreover, it has been proved that our floating material is in far better condition than that of the United States. These ob servations are not children of my optim ism, but are based on official data, which J have been very careful to verify and compare. "The distinguished author of ‘Facts Concerning the Sea Power of the United btates. himself one of the most distin guished officers of our navy, showed at the time when it was written that in case of war with the United States the Spanish navy, boasting a personnel and ships and equipment superior to those of that coun try. would go to battle with every assur ance of triumph." Having thus conclusively disposed of the personnel of the United States navy the countryman of those stupendous liars Blanco and Weyler. next takes up the chips of the Spanish navy and describes them as marvels of construction, armor, armament, speed and beauty. Then he describes the American vessels. The battleships Indiana, Oregon arfd Massachusetts, which he calls cruisers of the first class, cannot go to sea with their coal bunkers full, he declares If they should the waves would wash over them and they would tw uninhabitable. They are. therefore, only suitable for coast guards. In spite of this expert opinion however, the Oregon has completed a voy age of 13.000 miles. The battleship Texas is condemned as woefully deficient. He machinery was bad; they tried to repair it and made it worse. Her torpedo tubes are useless She Is altogether very Md. So was the Maine --she had not sufficient armor to be con sidered a battleship, and was too slow for a cruiser. Every time Spain cables congratulations to Cerveta or Blanco, the gayety of nations becomes a paroxysm of laughter. It is going to be a pretty hard job for any one American hero to hold the center of the stage. The other heroes will crowd (him to the wings. w The Suez Canal. Will Admiral Camara pass thorough the Suez Cana) and proceed to the Philippines’ This query reawakens interest In -the ca nal. one of the greatest engineering feats in the history of the world. M. Ferdinand de Lewseps was the origi nator and builder of the canal. The engineering comission was signed at Cairo. Egypt, November 20, 1854 The work was actually 'commenced in November, 1860. The canal extends from Port Said, on the Mediterranean, to Suez, on the Red Sea. The whole lenth of the navigation is 88 geographical miles. Os the whole distance sixty-six miles are actual canal, formed by cuttings, fourteen miles are made by dredge through the lakes and eight miles required no work The canal has a navigable depth of twenty-six teet for a width of seventy-two feet at the bottom, and has a width at the top vyying according to the character of the cuttings; but in 1886 arrangements were made with Egypt for widening the waterway. Every five or six miles there Is a pass ing place to enable large vessels to moor for the night or to bring up in order that others may pass. All movements of vessels through the canal are regulated by telegraph from Port Said, isrnaiilia or Suez, just as trains in the United States are handled by a train dispatcher. Ihe cost of the whole enterprise was over $105,01X1,000. 1 he canal may be regarded ary a high way for steamers 400 feet in length and fifty feet beam. Hie opening of the canal revolutionized the main lines of international traffic. A vessel is considered fortunate that passes through the canal in forty-eight hours. In 1875 the British government pur chased 176,602 shares from the Khedive of Egypt at the price of nearly $20,000,000. The canal is now owned principally by the English and French. The grand opening of the canal took place on November 17, 1860. In 1890 the total gross 'tonnage passing through the canal was 9,749,129 tons. The canal is suitable for steamers and mail traffic, but not for vessels requiring tugs. The statutes of the canal company pro vide that all net earnings in excess of 5 per cent interest on the shares should be divided as follows: Fifteen per cent to the Egyptian government; ten per cent to the founders’ shares; two per cent to the em ployes of the company; seventy-one per cent as divided on the 394,677 shares; two per cent to the managing directors. The not profits in 1890 were $7,621,675. Os the 3,389 ships which passed through the cang.l in 1890 2,523 belonged to Great Britain. The canal is now practically conducted by a joint commission, of which England, France and Egypt are the leaders. Heroism disdains ancestry—'the pam pered scion of the East and the obscure cowboy of the West stand together and fall together. The Dotage of a Nation. Initially, Spanish tactics prove Inex plicable to a military expert. The Dons’ fatal capacity for blundering is always uppermost. Admiral Camara is now at Fort Said. Is he bound for the Philippines? Is .Manila his objective? If the answer be in the affirmative, then Spain has determined upon a policy that will surely end in disaster for her. She thus leaves her coast towns, the Canaries and the Balearic Islands at the mercy of any flying squadron Admiral Sampson may choose to send across the Atlantic. And Dewey will crush the Cadiz fleet, like he sent Montojo’s vessels to the bottom. There is one thing and only one that can save Camara's squadron—a peace treaty with Spain, acquiescing In every demand of the United States. Spain has never profited by past blunders. She is now in her dotage, and the next, step is extinction. According to the latest report from the bureau of statistics in France, the cabinet making business in that country is flour ishing. Echoes From the War. In the war with Spain, our sectional echoes ami re-echoes make the sweetest music—albeit a threnetic note is heard. Vermont calls to Alabama and Hobson an swers to the call of the hero of Manilla. The South gives up Ensign Bagley, the North, Sergeant Fish, and North and South together mourn them both. “Read out the names again, corporal.” And then such a clasping of hands! There is joy for the vistory with sorrow for its price. Massa chusetts has her roll of dead; so has Ara zona. The Empire State and Oklahoma commune their grief. All patriots! All he roes! No rivalry but in contempt of death when the nation calls to arms. S. B. Russ. the editor of the Brunswick Times, is conducting a magnificent fight for the cause of clean polities. The Times deserves the support of the people of Glynn county because of the fight it is making and the fearless, honest manner In which the fight is .made. Russ is one of the most incisive and scholarly writers in the South. He has the courage of his convictions and can always be found wher the fight is thickest. While a new man in Georgia newspaper circles he is making himself felt down in the Eleventh district. This “sad-but-glorlous-day” business will prove very costly to Spain, when the bill shall be presented. Boston can now take her head from un der the covers. Admiral Oaniara is at Port Said. Celebrate the coming (Fourth of July If you have to do it by burning your war bonds. Roosevelt’s Rough Riders have forced their way into the brightest pages of his tory. The Santiagoans are now’ dieting on horse flesh. This is the begining of the end. Blanco is derelict. He has failed to re-, port the mule mortality from Santiago. ‘Rah for Roosevelt! He Is the mold of which heroes are made. Blanco's typewriter shows no signs of being overworked. If war is costly for us it cannot be cheap for Spain. The roster of American heroes Is grow ing. ENTHUSIASM Is Unbounded Over Fourth of July Pros* pects. The board of directors of the library held an important meeting yesterday. The re ports of the committees, which had been apointed to work up the program for the Fourth of July were made. It was a very enthusiastic meeting. The committees iu charge of the baseball game, the chorus work, flag presentation, the mu sic and the walking match, reported than everything was progressing smoothly and that the people of the town were very much interested in their doings. Several citizens contributed S2O and S3O to help defray the expenses of the occasion so that all the money made on this day should go to the library. Mr. P. Ketchum of Pike City, Cal., says: ‘‘During my brother’s late sickness from sciatic rheumatism Chamberlain’s Pain Balm -was the only remedy that gave him any relief.” Many others have testified to the prompt relief from pain which this liniment affords.

June 28 —The first regiment of New York volunteers compost*! of the Tenth battalion of Albany, and eight sepa rate companies have received orders from Washington to proceed to San Francisco and thence to the Philippines. The regiment is now doing coast de fense work at forts Columbus, Wadsworth and Hamilton. The headquarters are at Governors I-land, and the men will be mobilized here preparatory to departing. While the order to go to the Philippines was a surprise to the men it was no news either to Colonel Barker or Lieutenant Colonel Stacpole. Both have been using all the influence that could be brought to bring this assignment. “I would rather go to the Philippines than to any other point,” Colonel Barker declared while in camp. “But if we can’t go then coast defense would be my next choice.” Though actual orders have come there is no way of knowing when the regiment will leave. Marching orders may arrive in an hour, and may n<ft reach here for a month. It is reasonable to suppose, how ever, that they will closely follow those already received.
