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.

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 ” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

HAVE YELLOW FRYER. ," ■ 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.
