If more troops are required from thia section they will doubtless bare to be drafted, says the Thomasville Timer. . ■ - If Commodore Watson lakes bis flying squadron to the coast of Spain * U will be the first American expedi* tion against a European power. Great consequences may attach to this im portant naval movement. The merchant marine under the American flag will be increased by fifty four vessels through the annexe* tion of Hawaii. Os three twenty four are steamers and four full rigged ehipe. The others are mostly schooners and small craft. There are those who moist that Washington and Berlin fully under* stand each other, and that German meddlseomeoem at Manila io only a part of the Emperor’s little game to secure a bigger navy. He bad better bo careful, however, or he will lose hie present navy. -sae-— —s- Ho one will seek to take from Samp* eon any laurels which be io entitled to wear. But the country will not tole rate aay hßortiee to Schley, who ir known as ono of the bravest and moot capable officers in the navy and who baa covered himself all over with glory at Santiago.—lndianapolis Sen* tinel. "Don’t cheer, the poor devilo are dying,” oaid Capt. Phillip of the Texas, to hie men as the American navy pounded the Spanish fleet to pieces. The men obeyed.

Thio io ac cording to the law which provides lor the payment of SIOO a bead for every man on the eLips of the enemy when those ohips are destroyed. A few offi cers will receive pretty good featunes. When we come to discuss the in* demnity question with Spain, the main factors in it will be these: The length of the war and the ootualamount of our military and naval expendi tures; the amount of damage directly Inflicted upon our trade and com merce ; the extent of the looses of life on our side, and, finally, the value of any territory which we may insist upon taking away from Spain, which, according to precedents, will have to be treated as an offset to our bill of coots.—Baltimore Sun. It may be that Mr. Livingston io correct in bis prognosis that the dem ocratic party will take the position against the acquisition of territory. That io a question which, we think, will bo largely decided and settled by the results of the present conflict, and may or may not become a party poli* cy, but we are profoundly of the opin* ion that there will bo no distinctive free silver democratic party in 1900, and that any attempt to hold together such a party will result in most disas trous defeat—Montgomery Advertiser.

If there were any possibility of Spain's winning even one temporary advantage in the fighting with the United States, there might bo some sense io Sagaau’s government pre longing the struggle for a time. But Spain is beaten, and from every en« counter she will emerge worse beaten. la view of this fact, which even Ba* gaala ooght to be level beaded enough to recognise, it is criminal for tbo Spanish government to continue to send conscripted and on willing soldiers and Milors to the front to be food for American shot and aboil. IHs apparent that a considerable part of Europe baa bad its breath liken away by the rapid and effective manner in which the Americano fight, says the Savannah News. The St. Pe tersburg Novosti thinks we have been using "some kind of now explosive machine or bomb, contrary to inter national law.” Os course that lent true. The fact is that we have been shooting the regulation projectiles,but we plunked them in so rapiJly and so accurately that the Spaniards and other Europeans have sinsply been dazed by our fire. They cannot un derstand it; they never saw anything like it before. Europe, by the way, » learning a good many new things about the Americans.
