The president says be has not made a single mistake since be was forced to leave Hong Kong. I I MUB The Valdosta Times says the Span ish officers who are not killed in battle are usually killed by their government for escaping The Idea prevails in Spain that a soldier doesn’t show much courage unless be manages to get bimeelf killed. The more one reads ol the Oregon tbo bigger and more terrible does she appear. And to think that for a time there was fear in this country that the Temerarlo, which is probably now hid ing under some Paraguayan dock, would waylay and capture or sink hert That was ono of the most ludicrous iooidentsof tfce war. Spanish pride is a curious thing. When it comes to mating terms of surrender Gen. Torsi did not scruple to bog hr every concession to appear ances that a generous onemy would allow. a OatUlUa dignity is not very far removed from beggarly importuni ty, as we shall doubtless see wbon it corues to arranging terma of peace. The United States must do thia work. Cuban agencies may be em ployed. But the responsibilities are with us. We must see that they are faithfully discharged. The world of civilisation will hold tbo American people to accountability for the man ner in which tbo vast trusts created by the victories of the war shall be ad ministered. The Yellow river, in China, has changed its channel four times in tbo past 1,000 years, and tbo point at which it empties into the aea has from time to time moved up and down the coast a distance ol 300 miles. Its floods have drowned over 10,000,000 persons during the past’ three centu ries, and the destruction of property baa boon proportionate. The recent convention of clerks, sheriffs, chiefs of police and marshals of Georgia, which met at Valdosta, passed a resolution calling on the leg oialature to legalise the carrying of concealed weapons by officers. Such a law would be in the interest of law and order. Without weapona.it would often be impossible to make arreata, and to carry them now the officer be comes a violator of the law. Let the law bo passed. All naval ships in the future will receive smokeless powder. The Ameri can volunteers will also be supplied as rapidly as possible with a smokeless brand of explosive for the smaller guns. This is the intention of the navy and army bureaus of ordnance, and every effort is being made to ex ped iate the manufacture of smokeless powder. Although the army ordnance bureau has a reserve supply of 50,0$ Krag-Jorgeosen rifles, it io not pros posed to place them in the hands of the volunteers. These troops will re tain the Springfield rifles, but they will be supplied with smokeless pow der c ait ridges.

They know very well, however, that they are not, and when confiden tial will admit, as Marshal von Moltks cans did in public, that with a great number it takes discipline, and severs discipline, too, to induce them tofact rinahrinkingly. American officert have been known to acknowledge that of their men, who are as brave as any in the world, 20 per cent would run away if they could, and in every armr even ours, which a man enters only oi freewill, therein a certain proportion who literally cannot overcome theii fear*. They are stricken with a sort ol paralysis. The proportion not hinh in any army, the majority, « 1° health, being able to do their duty ■nd having intense motives to do it, bul neither is the proportion high of thorn who literally feel no fear.—London Spectator.
