Ilia democracy*! way. The principles ol democracy are eternal. They Cannot perieh while liberty lasts, says the Thomasville Times. . - ■ Spain ia to be congratulated on bev ing enough warships left to cut a fig* arc at international ceremonies. If Admiral Camera bad gone on to meet Dewey or come over to greet Sampson it would have been Decenary to char ter an excursion steamer whenever there wae occasion to have the nation represented afloat. As the cruiser Brooklyn wae the on ly vessel engaged io the naval fight al Santiago which carried 5 inch guns there can be no mistaking the marks made by her gunners. The number of & inch boles in the battered hulks ol Csrvera's fleet show that the Brooklyn got in her work from the beginning to the ending of the fight with indis criminate fnry and precision. Ilia somewhat earprising that the Spanish-American war baa not sooner affected the warlike tendencies of some of Europe’s groat fighting nations. It haa come at last, however, and it is said the chances are not altogether bad lor a little naval brush between Ruseie and England as the result of the tronble in the east, just to please the people, and perhaps incidentally to continue the test of modern guns and armament. - Mica Lisxie Leedenner, a yourg lady who has been raised on a cow ranch, and who lives with her father near Cloud Cliff, Oklahoma Territory, has organised a company of girls to go to war, which she calle rough rid ers. She claims that every girl in her company can eboot as well as any sharpshooter while riding al full speed. The Captain of the company will ask President McKinley to sllow them to go to life front and fight the Spaniards.—Chicago Chronicle Quten Victoria is a strong believer in the reality and near presence of the spirit world. She believes that the de parted loved ones watch over those who still struggle with the sorrows and temptations of the earthly life. Dur ing her retirement at Osborne, alter the death of Prince Consort, she found •her only comfort io the belief that her husbaod’eepirit was dose beside her. for ho bad promised that it should be so." Thia waa told to Dean Stan ley by the Queen’s half sister, Princees Hohenlohe. ■ —‘ Delays are dangerous; in war times they are exceedingly so. The naval board of construction, therefore, has acted wisely in taking the initiative in' changing the plans <4 the" American battteebipe now under construction so as to conform with the lessons taught by the war, without waiting for the usual authority of congress The original plana call for a displacement of 11,500 tons and a speed of 16 knots. The battle off Santiago harbor demon strated the necessity for a higher rate of speed than these specifications call for. and it has been decided to build ships of 13,000 tons displacement and 18 knots. To do this the original coot authorised by congress must be ex oeeded, but the board baa wifely de termined to revise the plans and let congreae ratify them later—Chicago Times Herald. •teal Tatera spit Tear iKe i«ty.
