The Savannah News says when the
Savannah boys come marching home
they should have as big a reception as
if they had fought at Santiago. They
helped to make the war a abort one,

the hospitals, and a few days ago she
gave a lump sum of $25,000 towards
the amelioration of the condition of
the Santiago heroes at

patriotic and charitable acts have won
her a warm place in the hearts of all

W. C Braon, the late editor of the

with the following : “The dollar is

dian lever that lifts the illbred mvo

norant sapbead in the United Stales
senate; it makes presidents of stuffed
prophots, governors of intellectual
geese, philosophers of fools and gilds
infamy with supernatural glory. It
wrecks alters of innoceoee and polutet
the face of the people; breaks the
sword of justice and binds the goddess
of liberty with chains of gold It is
the lord of the land, the uncrowned
king ol the commonwealth.”
