What a pity the wlioopings of
war should have overshadowed
base ball and foot ball.
When Spain gets Columbus up
she may want to shake him a little
for discovering America.

It is vaguely believed that if
America gets a much larger stock
in the humanity business, she will
want to shut up shop.
The Mausers are silent now, and
it is about time for the fog horn
statesman who did so much to stir
up the war to come out of his hole.
The country waits with breath

The names on the pension roll
are now over the million mark, the
exact number of pensioners being
1.040,356; and the list will keep
on growing irrespective of the war
just ended. How many names
the latter will add to the roll can
not now be estimated, but the num
ber will be at least fifty per cent,
larger than it should be. Spanish
bullets have made comparatively
few pensioners; Spanish fevers
will make more, but American
niism nagement most of all.
THE FUTURE OF SPAIN.
The papers are those
who hold that Spain will be better
off for the loss of the territory that
this war has cost her, and on its
f ice the opinion seems reasonable.
They have been a heavy expense
and burden to her in the trouble
she has had to govern them, and
the turning her attention to her
home affairs exclusively might
seem at first flush to be a healthful
step, says the Sunny South, But
a Spanish writer presents difficul
ties in the home future of Spain
which are nearly appalling. She
has held her colonies too long, and
has wasted too much money in the
'desperate effort to retain them.
With their loss as a field for rev
enue, it is difficult to see how she
can endure the burden of taxation
that has been brought upon her
people. Spain was very nearly a
bankrupt nation, with a heavily
depreciated currency, before the
1 ite insurrection in Cuba broke
out. She spent large sums for its
suppression, and in the war with
the United States she has lost her
navy as an addition to her previous
misfortunes.
The public debt of Spain has
now reached the enormous propor
tions of more than $2,000,000,000.
The annual interest charge on it
cannot be less than $140,000,000.
Yet the entire national revenue in
prosperous years, according to this
writer is but $150,000,000. This
leaves but $10,000,000 for the cur
rent expenses of the government,
providing taxation is not increased
and the ability to bear taxatioi
has been much lessened. We cai
form a conception with these fact,
of the capacity of the nation to pay
11s a money indemnity for the wai
which some of our hot-headed peo
ple were disposed to exact. A de
clared bankruptcy and an agree
ment with creditors to scale down
the debt, or enforced repudiation,
appears to be her only alternative.

There are Spanish industries which
have been supported by compelling
the colonies to take its products
which must now come into com
petition with the world, and this
would seem to mean their ruin.
What are the operatives in them
to do, is a serious question. The
Spanish army to be disbanded is
estimated to be as large as 100,000
men, and it is all to enter the con
test for a living with other labor,
while 30,000 officers are to be put
an the retired list of the army.
Here is a woeful presentation
indeed. The next foe Spain has
to dread is to be in her own house
hold. She is really in desperate
straits to provide the meansof sub
sistence for her own people. There
is always the Carlist element there
rer dy to take advantage of distress
to create revolution, but the dan
ger would appear to be imminent
to afford the risk of civil war. The
country is more likely to contrast
itself with the United States and to
make the effort to pattern after
that under which we have prepared
by calling for a republican form of
government again. But is there
statesmanship to provide its intelli
gently? The situation in Spain is
deplotable, so much so as to excite
pity on all hands. It is one of the
most difficult of the government
problems that have appeared in
this generation.
Seeing this in a heading in
a contemporary’s columns —
“BNICE JSO” we thought at once
it was pretty good advice. Better
to “be nice just so,” than to be nice
through advice or by compulsion,
but we wondered why the odd
spelling. A closer inspection
showed that it was a pied line we
were looking at —“Nice Jobs”—as
it was followed by this one, “For
Senators’ Sons.”
Peace, healthfuluess, the best
country in the world, and fine crop
prospects are enough to make peo
ple hereabouts feel cheerful, and if
things don’t move in a progressive
line, let us not lay the fault at the
door of others.
Bartow’s agricultural wealth end
possibilities furnish a sufficient
basis to build up on, but add to
this her vast mineral resources and
as fine a climate as the world pos
sesses and there is nothing to equal,
much less to eclipse our chances.
THE QUESTION OF TAXES.
In his recent speech at Dublin
Governor Atkinson says:
“There is a way other than by
taxing inheritance in which the
tax rate can be materially reduced
and I have repeatedly urged the
general assembly to adopt it, but
to no avail.
“In 1892 tax values were fixed,
not by the tax payer, who has a
direct interest in omitting to give
in property or placing the lowest
possible value upon it, and thus
burdening his neighbor with a
part of the taxes which he should
pay, but fixed by a board of dis
interested tax assessors; the tax
values increased from $444,000,000
in 1891 to 463,000,000 in 1892.
This act was repealed in the fall of
1892. The next year was a de
crease of $11,000,000 in return of
taxable property, and now after a
constant decrease it is $54,000,000
less than in 1892 when valued by
tax assessors. If so much good
was accomplished in one year, with
the experience of this effort tax
values ere now would have been
equalized and largely increased,
and vast amounts of property, real
and personal, which now escape
taxatien would be bearing its share
of the common burden.
“When laws are enacted devising
the means to place all taxable
property on the tax books at a fair
valuation, the assessed value of the

A Case That Aroused Profound
Indignation and Demands a
Searching Investigation.
Chattanooga Times.
A repvrter for The Times hearing
of the peculiar circumstances at
tending the death of Pvt. Nunns,
ambulance company, hospital cot ps,
Second division, Third corps, asked
Capt. O’Conner, of 9th New York,
about it.
The captain, after some hesita
tion, said that he had taken an in
terest in the case ot Mr. Nunns,
since he was transferred to the am
bulance corps from the regiment to
which the captain belongs. Nunns,
he said, was from New York City.
He was of good family, well off in
his own right, his family rich. He
was 32 years ola and robust.
Nunns had been sick only five
days. He died last Saturday, and
the corpse was given no attention
until Monday. No ice was used;
an autopsy had been held, the man
being split open and the flaps of the
stomach and bowels laid back.
The body was lying on a cot entire
ly naked, and was covered with
insects, horribly fly-blown, and
maggots were crawling over the
body and out of the eyes and
ears.
The doctors, on being asked why
they had not notified the mans
family, said they had left that for
his captain in the ambulance corps
to attend to.
Then the captain and the doctors
had a wrangle as to which w 7 as to
blame.
Being asked why the body was
not dressed, the doctors said the
man had no clothes.
“Did he come here naked’.” ask*
Capt. O’Connor.
“No; but he had no clothes.
When they heard that the atten
tion of Gov. Black, of New Aork,
would he called to the matter when
he arrived here, a suit of clothe- 1
was instantly found, the body
sponged off and dressed and
