Wade’s expedition to Porto Rico, is a large sum to spend just to give some gallant volunteers a chance to say that they have been to war —Chicago Daily News. •Another suit is to be entered to compel telegraph companies to psy the revenue tax stamp on telegrams, this time by a western railroad which makes heavy use of the wires. This will be a fight between corporations to see which of them must be made to beer the burden, while the people will look on with tbe hope that anybody but the telegraph companies will win. A month ago, even the moat far see ing prophet would hardly have hax arded the prediction that August would find th* Spanish and American armies embarking, or about to embark, from eastern Cuba en masse. The proverbial uncertainty of war has again been exemplified by the many unlooked-for happenings of tbe con* fliot, and this incident is one of the strangest. Conquered and conqueror will simultaneously quit the scene of their respective defeat and triumph Philadelphia Times. The country is wakiog up to the fact that we have too many lawyers, and some states are adopting meas* urea to remdy the evil. The rapid increase of lawers is multiplying courts to make business for them. It now takes three immense volumes to con tain Georgia’s Code. Two thirds of it should be wiped ont. Let us have fewer and simjttor laws. Special laws are a nuisance —they are seldom really necessary. Let us have general laws—operating in all tbe counties of the state alike. The taan primarily responsible for all the mismanagement and indirectly for great suffering and loss of life is Secretary Alger, and tbe president should not only recognise tbe fact,but act upon that recognition. If be should not do so, congress will surely make an investigation, for congress represents tbe people, who are justly indignant when they find tbe brave men, who fought their battles, grossly neglected without tbe excuse of lack of means to help them. Even military success cannot wipe out the disgrace ful stain attached to the war depart* ment by reason of its gross misman* agement —Philadelphia Ledger. A naval officer once wrote, describ ing conditions on one of tbe monitors: “The scene iu the fire room that morning was not of this earth. Tbe heat waa almost destructive of life; tools, ladders, doors and all fittings were too hot to touch, and tbe place was dense with smoke escaping from furnace doors, for there was absolute *ly no draught. The men collected to '-build up the fires were tbe best of these remaining fit for duty, but they were worn out physically, were nervous apprehensive and despirited. Bough Irish firemen, who would stand, in a fair fight, until killed in their tracks, were crying like children and begging to be allowed to go on deck, SO completely unnerved and unmanned by tbe cruel ordeal they Bgr had endured so long ‘Hell afloat’ is a nautical figure of speech often idly used, but then we saw it.” E v •' KjS'.
