The Texas wasn't much on parade aid bad a bsbit of getting aground rather often for a well behaved ahip, but the way she lands her shells and gets in her work shows that she can hit something besides the ground. Those rough riders got n terrible baptism of blood in their first fight, but it will not in the least check their daring and enthusiasm. Indeed, it will make them fight all the harder. They have now eomelbing else besides the Maine to remember, and they will never forget it. A Kansaa paper explains why a loco motive is like a woman, and is called ‘•she.’’ “They wear a jacket, an apron, have shoes, hose, and drag a train be* hind them; thjy have a lap, need guides, ride wheels, will not turn out tor pedestrian*, sometimes foams and vefjtee to work . they attract the men, sometimes act very contrary, and it always takes a man to manage them.” The Spanish are adopting the guerilla warfare on our men, which is likely to cause us much .trouble. But if the Cubans have anything like the number of soldiers they are accredited with II ought not take Uncle Sam long f iu connection with them to do up the Spaniards The United States should pursue a vigorous, aggressive cam paign and let the enemy know we moan business. The South should manufacture a large part of her cotton product and get the benefit of the great profit which the northen manufacturers re* ceive on the manufactured goods. The present value of a bale of middling cotton in the South is only S3O, yet the American Ginner says a bale of cotton manufactured in standard calico is worth $228, or in French organdie is worth $5,778 The Florida lightning eeeme to be partisan to the cause of Spain Only a week ago near Jacksonville the pri vate secretary of Gen. Lee was killed by a stroke of lightning, and at Tampa a day or two ago a soldier wss killed and a number of others hurt by lightning. The dons will probably now add lightning to yellow fever and hurricanes in the list of providential causes which they are depending upon to aid them tn their fight with the Americana Years and years ago Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky, then a member of the house of representatives, voted to seat William McKinley as thb representa tive of an Ohio district. The only other democrat who voted with him was Frank Hurd It is said at Wash ington that the president has never forgotten Mr. Blackburn’s vote, and that now be is contemplating proving to the Kentuckian his appreciation by giving him an appointment as briga dier general. That is the sentimental side of the story. The probabilities are that if Mr. Blackburn gets an ap pointment, and his chances are said to be good, it will be because he demon strated in the civil war that he is a good soldier.—Savannah News.

Borne of the newspapers which have been endeavoring to direct the war against Spain have been trying to make it appear that a great mistake is being made in attacking Santiago— that lhe place is of Hille Os no import ance and that nothing would be gained by capturing it The New York Herald takes a dif ferent view. It says that alter Santia go is taken, Gen. Shafter’s army, by a march of sixty miles, could reach a fine harbor on the northern coast—ro harbor that is capable of accommodat ing vessel* of lhe deepest draught acd which is between 200 and 300 miles nearer Key West than Santiago is. An harbor of that sort on the north, ern coast of Cuba would be of very gre.it advantage „ ft is apparent that when the hurri cane season begines our ships on the coau of Cuba wiil greatly need a good harbor; besides it may not bfi consid ered advisable to attack Havana from the sea. In that eventlhe harbor on the northern coast could be used as a basis of operations against not only all parts of Eastern anil Middle Cuba, but also against Havant itself. No doubt the whole situation has been pretty thoroughly considerd by these who are directing the campaign against Cuba, and ' the C 'nclu.ti n reached that the wisestfLing to do at this lime is to capture Santiago. In fact, it ts absolutely necessary that Admiral Ceryera’s squadron shall be captured or destroyed. II that rquad ron should succeed in getting to eea again our difficulties in operating against Cuba would be greatly ir« creased. The last cruisers of the squadron could be kept hovering abound the Cuban coast —that is, if they could get coal —and thus make it very dangerous for us to send trans ports loaded with troops to any point io Cuba. While we should like to see Havana attacked and captured it is probable that the plan that has been adopted for driving lhe Spaniards out of Cuba is lhe better one. Although Havana is the stronghold of the Spanish power in Cuba- the capture of that city would not necessarily be followed by the de parture of the Spaniards, from that island.—Savannah News.
