More than 100 bankers Iron all parts t 4 the state,representing every bank in the association, are ex pected to be there. Santiago, says the Savannah Press, is the place where a Spanish com mander stood several doxeq Americans against a wall and then shot item to death not so many years ago. Probe* bly the gunners on Samj can’s ships remember the Virginias as well ae tbe ■> Maine. ft ‘ The Bl Petersburg Novoati says that “America must voluntarily sub mit her pretensions to a tribunal of the poweta.” Russia ought to know by this time that America doesn't under stand the meaning of the word “mu it” as applied to any voluntary action Chicago Times Herald. Those Democrats who insist that tbe issues of 1896 must ba fought over will be unable to derive the least en couragement from the slate elaciidn io Oregon, where the issues of 1896 have just boon fought over. If tbe fight in Oregon ends in such sweepini; losses lor the Chicago platform, in what spot of the entire country can a fight ba made with a hope of gains for the advocates ol that ' platform ? Louisville Courier Journal. m——m—ew———■■■» It is not to be expected that Lieut. Hobson and bis gallant band ol herces will bo released by the Spaniards at Santiago immediately. They have undoubtedly learned too much about the defenses of the port and the condi tion of the Spanish forces for either Cervera or Blanco to permit them to return to tbe American ships al once. They will probably be kept within tbe Spanish lines until such as their in formation can be of no service to the American commanders. W. H. Wheeler draWe attention in Nature to the effect of galea on tide less lakes and seas, which, he says, is at times so marked ae to cause consider able inconvenience and anxiety to marines Thue in the Caspian sea a gale will raise the water on one side eix feet and depress it on the other as much, making a total difference of level of twelve feet. In the Baltic eastern galas will alter the level up ward of eight feet. In Lake Erie de pressions and elevations of from two to four feet are common, while orcas sionally heavy gales have produced a difference of level of upward of fifteen feet. The truth is the Spanish diplomat* ials, like the Spanish soldiers, have some radical defect which pots them out of touch with all the rest of the world. If this were not co, assuredly Spanish statesmen would achieve sometbing4rom tbe sacrifices tbe na tion baa always made of men aad money io tbe ever losing enterprise of maintaining great colonies in unwill ing connect ion with the mother coun try Whether at home or abroad the nation is constantly retrograding.
