When Spain gets Columbus up she may want to shake him a little for discovering America. Ambassador Hay succeeds Sec retary Day Ought not this to be the “heyday” of the nation’s exis tence ? 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 less anxiety, the reputation of the announcement from Gen. Agui naldo that he is satisfied. 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. _ “Agep’s Cfeerpg Pectoral saved my little girls’ lives when they had Wiiooping Cough.” Mrs. A.

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 WAGONS Are Latest Improvement on the Market.

Soldier of Ninth New York Dead From Neglect, BODYCUTOPEN BY SURGEONS 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.
