Let Toe Boys Come Home-
Tboeo officer* of tbe volunteers who
are doing their beet to keep their places
by keeping the private* in service
whether or no, are making themaelvee
not only ridiculous but contemptible.
Tbe people at home .who honored
them for their patriotism are fast’ toe
ing confidence in their sincerity and
when they return home they will be
despised as upstart braggarts. b
Il is the men in the ranks, the ones
upon whom the officer* had to depend
fur their'position and their honors,
who are tbe ones who should be con
sulted and their wishes alone should
be regarded.
Touching this question the Savan
nah Press says:
•‘We regret to see the officers of
tome of the volunteer regiments so
anxious to be selected to go some
where in exploitation of tbeir ranks
a* volunteer soldier*. While the war
lasted this desire was commendable.
But now that peace has been virtually
proclaimed it is the duty of every
commander to see that his men are
mnatered out of service ae speedily as
possible to .return to tbeir home. Tire
Press said ye*tetd*y that it was just a*
much the duty of the volunteer to
come homo now and return to his
business and tbe protection of bia
family as it waj to go to tbe front
when the war broke but. Tbe officers
should look at it this w»y. The place
for the citizen in time of peace is his
home. The sooner all Georgia regi
ments are mustered out of service the
better it will be for tbe state aud the
men. Tbe large number of privates
who are sacrificing so much and are
bearing uncomplainingly the hard
ships of camp life should now be given
their liberty. The officers of tbe
government owe them Ibis much.
Tbe Pres* was among the first to
advise these men to go. The Press
just as promptly advise* (hem to come
back. Tbe real soldier doe* not long
to strut in soldier clothes “after tbe
shotted gon* are mute.” Tbe tin sol-*
dler sticks to his tent* and bega to be
put on detail to guard garrisons and
police governmant stores.
By all means let u« have the soldier
boys back in their homes. Their fam
ilies need them. Their mothers have
missed them solely these summer days
and their sisters have shed for them
many a tear Business is opening for
tbe fall season and the cotton patch
wants the farmer’s son. Tbe draft
upon so many homes and so many
interests for young men was only ex
cusable when tbe country was at war.
To retain them in inforced exile now
is inexcusable. Let the boys come
homo —Rome.Tribane.

Amerieau Methods Make Spain Leas
Hostile Towards Americans Thaa
Toward the Insurgents.
- f *o ’ ** 13 -Sc . '
Havaxa. Aug. 29.—Some recent
editorials io tbe Havana papers throw
interesting side lights on tbe eictiatioa.
La Union Coostitocional esid the
other day: *lt is impossible now to
conceal tbe feet that witbin tbe last
three months difficulties have been
steadily arising between tbe Amer
icans and the insurgents here and in
the Philippines. News received of
late from various sources indicates
that these differences exist and will
almost inevitably terminate in • rup
ture. For instance, tbe Spanish of
ficers wbo recently arrived from Man*
zsnillo assert that tbe rebels and
Americans tbero used to fire al each
other daily from tbeir respective
camps.
“Spain's hatred toward her common
enemies was for a long time of equal
grade. The different methods, boh*.
ever, employed by the Americana has
naturally bad the result of making
Spain’s hostility less toward them than
toward tbe Cuban rebels Tbe Amer
icans ought, indeed, to be ashamed of
their allies, for they came to Cuba
ostensibly to aid the oppressed and to
secure justice.”
La Kucbs, discussing the duty of
tbe Madrid government, stated its
view in this wise: “Spain’s cover
eignty has not been represented in
Cuba by her land aud sea forces only.
It has been represented also by other
factors and interests, which are really
the one* from which she derived her
strength and to which her attention
bas been primarily due. The first
obligation resting upon her, in treat
ing for peace, is to protect tbe great
wealth of those Spaniards and pro*
Spanish natives in Cuba will have tbe
real element .of resistance against
everything contrary to tbe integrity
of Spanish territory.
“Tbe honor of tbe army must, of
course, be saved, but there are also
the concerns of those now represent
ing at least 80 per cent, of Cuba’s
wealth, who, through all the changing
events, have continued loyal tp Spain
and still continue loyal.
“Spain’s government must bear in
mind that none of tbe Spanish colo
nies bss bad a Spanish population as
large as Cuba’s or so many natives
who have been faithful to Spain. In
the Spanish colonies of former day*—
those that are now republics and that
were necessarily abandoned by her
because of the efforts of tbe foreigner
to conquer the peninsula itself —there
was nothing Spanish, either in num
ber* or in wealth, to compare with
what is Spanish in numbers and wealth
in Cuba today.
“Therefore, it follow* that the gov
ernment in feeling about for a solution
of the present problem ought to try to
abide by a course that would eave, as
far as possible, the great interests
created in Cuba by the Spanish fam
ily.”
La Union Constitutional, bitterly
protesting against reports that peace
is to be concluded only after great ter
ritorial sacrifices by Spain, says: “In
the battlefield or in tbe discussion of a
peace treaty, in war and in peace alike,
let us always be tbe same genuine
Spaniards. If for tbe interest of our
race and for right’s sake it becomes
necessary, let us sacrifice everything
to defend Spain’s honor, until the last
Spaniard has given bia life at the foot
of the flag that waves over El Morro.
Thus we shall show that we are willing
to do our duty. Thus shall we render
* great service to Europe ”

Whole Battallion cf Fifth Bariment
Santiago db Cvba, Aug. 30—A
whole battailion of the Fifth regulars,
brought by tbe Knickerbocker Iron*
Tampa, baa b-x-n placed io tbe hospi
tal vacated by t ! e Spaoiaida, yellow
fever having app. a red among them.
Tbe Knickerbocker has been quar
antined. She touched Bt a small
Cuban port on her way from the Uni
ted States, and was not inspected at
Tsmpa. Five cases of the fever have
developed.
Tbe steamer Segnraoca arrived yes
terday bringing Lieutenant Richmond
Pearson Hobson, wbo will superintend
tbe efforts to float tbe sunken Spanish
cruisers Cristobal Colan and Infanta
Maria Teresa.
Lieutenant Hobson bad an enthusi
astic informal reception from General
Lawton, with whom be will be quar
tered While in Santiago The Sega
ranea brought also Captain Laigh and
forty men of tbe signal service coips,
wbo will relieve Colonel Green. Work
will be begun al once on the military
telephone and telegraph lines along
tbe eastern Cuban coast. The Segu
ranca brought a cargo of fresh beef.
Generol Lawton has issued an order
releasing the largest wharf in the
harbor —lately wholly occupied by the
United States government —and re
turning it to the use of the local mer
chants and shippers. Trading vessels
bad experienced great inconvenience
and delay in consequence of insuffi
cient wharf facilities, and many ships
in tbe harbor are waiting a place to
unload.
TOILERS OF THE AIR.
How the Work on * Suspenaion Bridge I*
Done.
The workmen on the cables follow
closely after the builders of the iron
roadway. These men are engaged in
more perilous employment, if anything,
than the former. They climb nimbly
np to the very summit of the huge tow
ers, and then without flinching proceed
to descend the inclined cables. It makes
the spectators below tremble for them,
so dangerous is the descent, but the
workmen have no fear, else they would
be unfitted for the duty required of
them. After sliding down the cable a
dozen feet, they stop and turn around
and face the towers. The men working
the derrick slowly swing out to them
the end of a cable about three inches in
diameter. Another man carries out to
them by means of a small hand pulley
and rope a redhot band of steel, which
the cable workers seize with their
pinchers and clasp around the large cable
on which they are resting. Then while
the steel is still hot and malleable, the
small cable, with its end secured in a
thick bolt of steel, is brought into posi
tion, and the end welded into the red
hot steel band encircling the main ca
ble. The workmen pound and forge
away, hammering, twisting and bend
ing the metal before it cools off. The
welding must be done rapidly, and the
workmen have no time to stop and think
of the dangerous position in which they
are placed. Probably the only support
they have comes from their legs, which
they wind tightly around the cable, as
they swing their arms and upper part
of the body with violent exertion.
When this cable is forged into its
place, the workmen take a few moments
of rest, and then slide down to the next
joint, where the same operation is re
peated. Cable after cable is attached in
this way until there is a regular tangle
of steel work and dangling cables, look
ing for all the world like a spider’s web.
But there is order in this colossal spider
web such as never existed in the home
of the insect that weaves the webs in
our homes and woods. Gradually one
part of the bridge after another is fin
ished, and when the “false work” of
scaffolds is removed the structure stands
out in all the beauty of its finished state-
The bridge builders must not only be
skilled in their work, but they must
have the hardihood and daring of the
sailor, for most of their work is per
formed at an altitude higher than the
topmast of any sailing vessel. They la
bor in all kinds of weather—when the
sun is pouring down its torrid rays in
midsummer or when the mercury regis
ters zero, in winter.
To them their dizzy height is no more
than the 16 or 20 feet are to the ordi
nary carpenter or house painter. They
seldom use ladders. They would be con
stantly in the way. If they want to
reach a higher framework, they climb
nimbly up the steel works or jump
lightly across from one truss to another.
A jump of three feet from girder to
girder is a commonplace occurrence to
them.—George E. Walsh in Godey’l
Magazine.
Free Show* In Pari*.
The theaters of Paris have popular
representations on certain days, when
the seats cost only a quarter or half
the usual price. There are also days
like the national holiday (July 10)
when most of the theaters give gratu
itous spectacles. These occasions are
characterized only by the best pieces,
and actors dispute among themselves for
the advantage of playing before this
special public. No other audience is
more grataful or more impressionable.
They rarely have the pleasure of being
present at tiie play. They are not biases,
nor are they familiar with the wings.
Having gained their places by long
waiting at the door, they occupy them
as conquests; they listen in silence, ap
plaud with enthusiasm, weep all to
gether, the prey of simple and conta*
giota> emotion.—Outlook.
