Foreign excrescences on the American body politic, military de pendencies to be governed by the sword, and kept by the sword, they -must and would forever remain.

" Lu'dIULWHW There are curious mutterings in tbe European press. It Is even intimated that if we conclude to lake over the islands that conclusion will be over ruled by tbe same powers which pre vented Japan from reaping the fruits ot her victory over China. 1. there really a etatesman or a publicist in Europe, Tueton or Latin, who believes that Germany, Russia and France, acting all together, have any terrors, in any question relating to tbe Pacific ocean, for Great Britain, Japan and tbo United States, acting all together? —Now York Times. There is talk of a hot skirmish be tween tbe army and the navy in New York, with the Republican nomina lion lor Governor, as the prize contest ed for cays tbe Savannah News. Tbe Herald announces that Commodore Philip, formerly Oapt.“Jack” Phillip of the battleship Texas, will probably enter tbe lists for tbe nomination, in opposition to Col. Theodore Roosevelt. Commodore Philip was born in New York state fifty seven years ago, and while be has never taken an active part in politico, it is claimed that ha io a good enough Republican to ans wer all requirements. Philip and Roosevelt are both very popular, be cause of their brilliant war records, benee a contest between them would arouse a good deal of interest. Mean time, it Is well enough to bear in mind that such hard-beaded fighters as those men are, are not tbe sort of tim ber that the bosses usually pick out to be given nominal tons. Spain Will Bear Watching. There it a growing opinion that our government should not be too hasty in mustsring its troops out ol service and in putting its vessels out of fighting trim. Tho Spaniards are a treaobers one people, and it ia difficult at this time to say what kind of pledges Spain may make or whether she will keep auoh as are made, pending the final negotiations for peace. Oar govern, ment will have to watch Spain, and after the treaty of peace is signed, we will no doubt have to enforce tbe terms with force. Our army and navy should be kept io good shape until tbe war io over sure enough. Spain io a procrastinator and will kill aS much time as she can during the negotia tions. She will haggle at every point of tbe proceedings aod will doubtless ra’se all kinds of objections tn aearly everything proposed by our govern -_meot. We hope we are mistaken, but Spain's conduct in the past has not I been ouch as to inspire our confidence I ' —Columbus Enquirer. ss.js.te.

There are stump ora tertot almost every shade of religious and political opinion. Some make them selves hoarse in denouncing the pope.
