THE NICARAGUAN CANAL.
A strong effort will be made at
the next session of Congress to have
'revisions made for the completion
of the Nicaraguan canal. The presi
dent of the canal company, with Sen
ator Morgan, held a lengthy confer
ence with the president on the sub
ject a few days since. As a result,
when Congress convenes again, the
president will doubtless urge that
body in the strongest possible terms
to make provisions for hastening the
completion of this great project.
No one doubts that the canal will
be of almost incalculable value to the
commercial interest of our country.
This has been admitted all along,
even by those who were most vigor
ous in opposing the measure, on ac
count of the immense cost of the
canal.
The war with Spain has taught us
to place a still higher value on the
canal. The long voyage of the good
ship Oregon around the cape and the
many weeks of anxious waiting by
the entire country, has brought the
necessity for building the canal home
to the American people in a very
forcible manner. While the Oregon
made the trip all right, the dangers
of such a voyage were more clearly
illustrated than by any other inci
dent within our knowledge. Hun
dreds and thousands of people, wait
ing for news of the Oregon, wished
many times that the canal was a
reality. If Spain had been a power
ful nation, like England, Germany,
and Russia, the absence of the canal
would have been felt much more
keenly. We believe the American
people are willing to be taxed to
complete the canal. The good of
our commerce and ihe safety of our
country both demand that Congress
take such action as will insure the
early completion of the Nicaraguan
canal.
The irudications are that public
sentiment will favor an absolute own
ership of the canal by the United
States. The trade between the two
sections of the country—the far east
and the far west demands the
nationalization of the canal. Its use
by government ships points that way.
The desire of all sections for a Pa
cific trade and of closer relations
with Japan and China and the islands
of the great sea, not only call for the
building of a canal, but also for its
complete nationalization. Public
sentiment is rapidly drifting in that
* direction. The canal question in its
more pressing form really grows out
of the Spanish war, and as one of its
important, consequences will be apt
to command the support of both
parties, if not of all classes of citi
zens.
PREDICTS PROSPERITY.
The London Statist predicts a
great tidal wave of American pros
perity after the war and active Euro
pean business in American securi
ties.
“Cuba,” it says, “will give employ
ment to a vast amount of capital and
the stimulus to industry there will
re-act on the United States. The
investments in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines will particularly ben
efit railways.”
PEACE IS HERE.
The answer of Spain to the pro
posed peace terms of the President
was received "yesterday at the White
House.
The terms are accepted, but maoy
details are yet to be arranged. It is
probably that an armistice will be
declared immediately, pending final
perfection of peace terms.
General Miles’ army is marching
in several directions on San Juan,
Porto Rico.
Big battle has been fought at
Manila. Spanish garrison of 3,000
attacked American trenches, but
were defeated with loss of several
hundred. Americans lost 13 killed
and 44 wounded.
General Toral’s men are leaving
for home, and Gen. Shafter’s army
is leaving for Long Island, N. Y.
PEACE BRINGS PROSPERITY.
The prospects are bright for a
speedy ending of the Spanish war.
Peace will bring prosperity. The
war has opened the eyes of the
American people and taught them
some things they needed to
know. It has broadened their
vision and made them realize that
the world is waiting to buy, and that
we might as well sell it as to let
other nations monopolize the world’s
markets.
The war has acted as an advertise
ment for the United States, and the
result will be increased sales of our
products. Every well informed
merchant knows that proper adver
tising brings trade.—Macon News.
LESS LIQUOR DRINKING.
The bulletin for the Federal de
partment of labor for July gives fig
ures to show that there has been a
large decrease in the consumption of
intoxicating liquors by the people of
this country. In 1880 the consump
tion of distilled spirits in
the United States was 2 1-2 gallons
for every man, woman and child ; in
1896 it was less than one gallon.
Such a decrease in the use of strong
drink probably never occurred before
among any people.
There has also been a decrease in
the use of wine in this country. The
per capita consumption of -'wine in
1880 was .26 of a gallon.
But while there has been some de
crease in the use of wine and a very
great decrease in the use of whisky,
brandy, gin and other spirits, the
consumption of beer has increased
immensely.
In 1896 no less than 1,170,370,448
gallons of beer were used in this
country. The beer used for medi
cines, in cooking and for other pur
poses except drinking is compara
tively very sntalL The great bulk of
the beer consumed in 1896 was
drunk. The per capita consumption
of beer in 1880 was only 1.36 gallons.
By 1896 it had increased to 15.16
gallons.
In spite of this fact there is good
reason to believe that there has been
a great growth of temperance among
our people during the past eighteen
years. Their larger use of mild
drinks is more than compensated for
by the great reduction of the quan
tity of strong and fiery liquors.
FUSION IN KANSAS.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson should
take heart. Things are not always
as they seem. He labors under the
impression that fusion means turkey
to the Democrats and buzzard to the
Populists every time. But he is
mistaken. He should take heart and
rally himself.
Out in Nebraska, where Mr. Bry
an has carefully sown and cultivated
the fusion plant, it has burst forth
into a full blown Populist flower.
Populist doctrines endorsed, and
Populist candidates for office named,
except in two minor instances. The
attorney generalship is given to one
of Mr. Bryan’s fusion Democrats,
and the decorative office of lieuten
ant governor is given to a silver Re
publican.
This is very encouraging to Popu
lists, seeing that they have swallowed
the Democratic party in Mr. Bryan’s
State. It is enough to put new life
in them.
If this thing can be done so easily
in Nebraska, why may it not be
done on a larger scale in 1900 ?
Mr. Watson should shake and
make-up with Marion Butler. There
is still hope.
WHEELER SAID “NO!”
The Chicago Tribune, commenting
on the battle of Santiago, says :
With the fall of night came doubt
and discouragement. The list of
dead and wounded was appalling.
Almost one-eighth of the army bad
been swept away, as far as its fitness
for real fighting was concerned.
There was a consultation of generals
and leading officers at Gen. Shafter’s
headquarters. More than one voice
proclaimed that we had taken posi
tions which could not be held, and
advised that our army retreat to a
safer position. But it was here this
lion-like old man (Wheeler) was
heard. He made a speech which will
some day be held as a part of the
history of the nation. He spoke
wrathfully and, maybe, angrily.
“Never!” shouted Wheeler. “We
will not give up one inch of ground
we have taken to-day. Not one
inch ! Do you all understand that ?
Not one inch!” And “Fighting
Joe” saved the day. His voice car
ried the meeting, and there was no
retreat on the part of our forces.
SPANISH SANITATION.
The sanitary condition of the city
of Santiago is said to be something
fearful. It is-practically impossible
to disinfect the place. The Spaniards
have never paid any attention to san
itation, and the city is saturated with
the filth accumulations of centuries.
In consequence of this condition, the
health of the citv is bad. While it
is true that there is but little yellow
fever, an official report says that
dysentery and malarial fever have
assumed epidemic form, and the
deaths from these diseases number
about forty per day. The Americans
are doing all in their power to clean
up the place, but the task is a very
large one.
CERVERA TO HOBSON’S FOLKS.
In response to an invitation ex
tended in the name of the people of
Greensboro, Ala., to visit Lieut.
Hobson’s home, Admiral Cervera
writes under date of August 2, say
ing :
“I thank you very much and also
the citizens of Greensboro for the
kind expressions contained in your
letter. Allow me to say that it is I
who should render thanks (which I
do with the greatest pleasure) for
the kind and generous treatment
which I am receiving at the hands of
the American people. It would be
very gratifying, to me to accept your
invitation to visit Greensboro, where
was born the brave Lieut. Richmond
Pearson Hobson, but it will be im
possible for me to do so, for as soon
as the war is ended it will, be obliga
tory upon me to return immediately
to Spain to account for my conduct,
which must be judged as provided
for by the law.
“Nevertheless, I shall not fail to
carry through all my hfe the remem
brance of such brave officers as Lieut.
Hobson, and also the flattering invi
tation tendered me by the city of his
birth. I subscribe myself, etc.,
Pascual Cervera.”
SIBERIAN COLONIZATION.
The director of that stupendous
enterprise, the Trans-Siberian Rail
way, announces the whole line will
be opened to traffic early in 1904. It
will then be possible for the “globe
trotter” to circle the earth in thirty
days or less. At present the bridge,
which, when completed, will be one
of the most notable in the world, and
more than seven miles long, across
the Yenisei, is well under construc
tion. Next month, it is expected,
trains will run through from Moscow
to Irkutsk, when a big scheme of
colonization, already fully arranged
for, will be begun. Two hundred
thousand families, or, approximately,
one million individuals, will be trans
ported by the Russian government,
free of all expense, from the famine
districts in European Russia to the
fertile valleys of the Angara, Vitim,
and Upper Lena, and the districts
about Lake Baikal, where each head
of a household will receive a grant of
about fifty acres of land along with
the necessary seed and agricultural
implements ; also the means of sus
tenance, housing, and clothing for
one year. This undoubtedly is the
greatest colonisation scheme the
world has ever known.
DESTRUCTION OF A WAR BALLOON.
The war balloon used in reconnoi
tering the position of Santiago was
destroyed. The balloon was held by
eighteen men by a rope which was
1,000 feet long. The men moved
about in various parts of the field,
carrying the captive balloon with
them. A telegraph wire connected
the basket of with the
ground, and observations were trans
mitted to the officers below. The
balloon was received by a scathing
fire. Three shells from a shrapnel
battery tore great holes in it, and
the showers of bullets made it resem
ble a great sieve. The three men
who were in the basket at the time
the balloon was destroyed escaped
with but one slight injury. The
balloon was finally landed in the
middle of a stream waist deep, just
as two regiments of dismounted cav
alry were charging a Spanish ambush.
The balloon has been an effective
adjunct in reconnoitering in the
Santiago campaign. It will be re
membered that in the siege of Paris
the invested Frenchmen sent up
many balloons to carry deputies, dis
patches, and mail, and Herr Krupp
made special cannon to fire upon
them. It consisted of a long barrel
mounted on a standard so that it
could be readily turned in any di
rection. The standard was secured
to a four-wheeled platform wagon.
OUR STANDING ARMY.
It is expeotad that the president
will shortly call Congress together
again to meet questions that may
arise in connection with the settle
ment of terms of peace with Spain
and other matters. It is said that
Congress will be asked to maintain
the regular army at its present size,
which was authorized to be contin
ued only during the war, and further
legislation will be required to keep on
foot a force large enough to meet the
necessities of the changed conditions
in Cuba, Porto Rico, and perhaps the
Philippines until order shall have
been sufficiently established to dis
pense with the presence of United
States troops.
The action we have taken in de
priving Spain of those possessions
imposes on us the duty of guardian
ship until peaceful conditions shall
have been permanently established
in those liberated regions.

A FAIR ESTIMATE FOR THE CUBAN
SOLDIER.
The following estimate of the
Cuban soldier from the Chicago
Chronicle is truthful and accurate :
They would certainly make a mess
of administering the affairs of a
province. As a matter of fact, the
Cuban patriot is now an admitted
failure. He is lazy, he is shiftless,
he is cruel and the we ight of testi
mony appears to indicate that he is
cowardly. He won’t fight except
from behind a tree and he has no
particular stomach for it even under
those circumstances. What on earth
we are to do with him after the
Spaniards have been chased out of
Cuba is a question that may well give
the administration sleepless nights.
To turn the island over to a gang of
thieving cut throats will be to incur
the just resentment of the civilized
world.
Some of the churches in Indiana
have inaugurated a crusade agaihst
the wearing of hats by ladies during
divine services. The trustees of two
of the churches in Munsey, Ind.,
unanimously voted to ask the ladies
to remove their hats during services.
It is expected that the churches v^ill
meet with as many difficulties in
bringing about this reform as hjve
attended the efforts of theaters in the
same direction.
The city of Greoblef I ** B
owned and conducted a jjiant
for fifty years, supplying meals at ac
tual cost. The people of the town
are permitted to eat as much bread
and soup as they desire for three
cents each, while for twelve cents an
elegant four course dinner is fur
nished. This is something entirely
new to us in the way of municipal
ownership, but the idea is not a bad
one, as the success of fifty years in
Grenoble shows.
A good story is told at the ex
pense of Mayor Lang of Paducah,
Ky., who is not much taller than an
ordinary lad of fourteen. Recently,
a visitor strolled into the office of
the mayor and after waiting a long
time for his honor to put in an ap
pearance, turned to the little fellow
at the desk and asked bow much
longer he would have for the
mayor. “I am the mayor,” was the
reply. The visitor exclaimed, “Well,
I’ll be durned. I thought you were
the office boy.”
Capl. Sigabee, formerly of the
Maine, but more recently of the St.
Paul, is to take charge of the battle
ship Texas. This is right and prop
er. Next to the Maine. Capt. Sigs
bee had probably rather command
the Texas than any other battleship
afloat. Capt. Phillip, the present
able commander of the Texas, will
be promoted to the post of commo
dore upon the retirement of Admiral
Sicard, on September 3.
Cuba is very unhealthy for colonels.
Every colonel in the regular army
who enlisted with Shafter has been
either killed or disabled by fever.
It took nearly two months for the
people of Alaska to get the news of
Dewey’s victory, and yet some peo
ple want the country made larger.
Spain has had some experience
with American ultimatums, and she
is evidently not disposed to fool with
McKinley’s peace ultimatum, for
that is what it amounts to. Spain
has learned that an American ulti
matum carries with it a time fuse,
which goes off right on the minute.
There is a good sign in the West
that free silver politicians do not
longer harp on the 16 to 1 string, as
the sentiment of business men and
farmers have pretty well undergone
a change in their financial theories.
The crops have been so bountiful and
prices so good that they almost cease
to talk of free silver as a financial
problem. These people are looking
around for a new theory, a new is
sue, and threaten to be as enthusias
tic over “imperialism” as they were
over Bryan’s pet scheme.
At last accounts General Garcia
was still fighting Spaniards. Garcia’s
conduct shows that he is one man
who had rather fight than to eat, or
he would never have gone beyond
reach of the quartermaster’s depart
ment of Gen. Shafter’s army.
We are just beginning to get an
inkling of the task before us in com
pleting the liberation of Cuba. Our
army and navy have made a success
ful and glorious start, but the most
difficult, delicate, and patient work
remains to be done when the fight
ing is over.
It is the opinion of General King,
who is to go in command of the

Gen, Joe Wheeler simply bears out
his record when he refused tp listen
to any suggestion to give up the po
sition which his troops took before
He did not get to be
commander of the Confederate cav
alry by loosing bis bold on what he
bad taken simply because of aJittle
discomfort and the probability of a
desperate fight.
Bismarck, Gladstone, and he who
is Leo XIII, were all living when
the battle of Waterloo was fought.
Bismarck, the youngest of the three,
was then an infant of between two
and three months. Giovachino Pecci
was a little more than five years old.
Gladstone was five and a half. The
venerable Justin S. Morrill of Ver
mont, the father of the United States
Senate, is the Pope’s junior by less
than thirty days.
The close of the war will not
mean the end of military operations.
Many soldiers will be needed to gar
rison Cuba, Porto Rico and our new
seaports in the eastern islands, and
many volunteers who did not get a
chance to enter battle in the war will
be Called upon to do garrison duty.
Referring to Gen. Joe Wheeler’s
candidacy for Congress over in Ala
bama, the Americus Times-Recorder
says : “An old soldier wh,o insisted
on staying at the front at Santiago,
though reduced by sickness to a lit
ter, is as good as re-elected. The
voting/Will be a formality.” We
hope so. If the country at large
could vote in this election it would
go solidly for this plucky old south
ern soldier and statesman.

MR. R. C. PHELPS, the leading pension
attorney of Belfast, N. Y., writes:
"I was discharged from the army on
account of ill health, and suffered from
heart trouble ever since. I frequently had
fainting and smothering spells. My form
was bent as a man of 80i I constantly wore
an overcoat, even In summer, for fear of
taking cold. I could not attend to my busi
ness. My rest was broken by severe pains
about the heart and left shoulder. Three
years ago I commenced using Dr. Miles’
Heart Cure, notwithstanding I had used so
much patent medicine and taken drugs from
doctors for years without being helped. Dr.
Miles' Heart Cure restored me to health. It
is truly a wonderful medicine and it affords
me much pleasure to recommend this rem
edy to everyone.”

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
' true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, _ and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guarantj’
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company
