There W only one bfot'yn the record
that President McKinley baa made
ainco the war begun. It i« tbe reten
tion of Secretary Alger io office after
bit bope’eo* unfllnew wee painfully
proved —Providence Journal.
It ie becoming daily more apparent
that one of ths outcomes of the late
Spaniah'Americau war will be the
construction of the Nicaraguan canal.
If tbe canal is not built, the United
Blates will have to maintain two it>dt»
pendent navies—one in tbe Pacific
and the other In the Atlantic.

Wheeler made the best record ol|
any general officer at Santiago and
Lee's camp ie in the bast condition ol
any in this country. There is no use
talking, the soldiers who learned the
art of war under Lee and Jackson
bave shown io thia war that their
school was unbeatable Macon Tele
fra ph.
Tbe trouble with this country is
that politicians bave enjoyed such a
free hand in the past they now affect
to despise public criticism. Where
they would resign in Europe, here
they press nt their, rhinoceros hide to
tbe shall of popular comment and
snap Ibeir fingers at the critics. Alger
is one of tbe stripe that imagine they
can do as Ibsy please and laugh at
public condemnation —Houston Post.
Russia proposes a peace convention,
and recognises the butdon of the great
military establishment. Let us aid
the movement with all our influence
and fittingly enter upon the new cen
tury ol peace and commerce. Furl the
battle flags, open the international
courts and give individuality freedom
to develop the earth and conquer tbe
resources of the seas without fear or
hindrance from the sword.—Jackson

Il is reported that H B. Plant, proi
idem of the Plant System, and per
haps the richest man in tbe South, ie
in England forming a syndicate to
‘control all tbe railroads in Cuba with
a connecting line of steamships to the
United Slates. It will be a fortunate
thing for Cuba if this ie true, as Mr.
Plant is one of tbe most progressive
and broadgauged men In thia country.
He baa been one of the largest factors
in the development of Florida.
Within tbe past sixty days the re
