WILL BE AMONG THE FIBBT TO LAND IN CUBA War Departmswt Has Imed a Gen eral Order For the Movement of Troops to Cuba- Washington, Nov. 3.—The war de partment baa leaned a general order for tbo movement of troopa to Cuba. The first troops will leave about No* vember 22, and will comprise a brigade nnder Brigadier General Carpenter. Tbe brigade will be taken from tbe Seventh army corps, and one of tbe regiments ordered to go is tbe Third Georgia. Orders were issued this morning , mahing the Third Georgia regiment a part of the brigade of Brigadier Gen eral Carpenter. Tbo headquarters of tbe brigade will be at Neuvita, which is in tbe province of Puerto Principe, on north coast. Tbe quartermaster’s department bas been ordered to furnish the Third Georgia and the Eighth cavalry with sixty days’ rations at once, and they will proceed, immediately to Savan nah, Ga., embarking on or before No vember 22. It is understood that I three transports have been ordered there to take the regiment off. Tbe Third Georgia and tbe Eighth cavalry will be the first of tbe troops to go to Cuba, but they will be rapidly follow ed by other commands, for the presi dent bas expressed his intention of putting fifty thousand soldiers in tbe island of Cuba as rapidly as it can be done. The distinction given the Third Georgia in being sent first is consider ed a great one here. Neuvitas, being in the north part of Cuba, is consider ed a particularly healthy place. It is not likely that tbe troops will arrive at their destination before the first of December, and tbe officers and men of the Third Georgia oan look forward to t a pleasant service.

The Post gives the figures upon which this belief is based. Mayor Van Wyck received 233,752 voles, of a total of 501,957 cast in Greater New York. The remaining vote was divid ed as follows: Seth Low, 146,821; General Tracy, 100,998; Henry George, Jr., 20,396. The Post says that Judge Van Wyck will get the vote cast for bis brother, and the vote cast for George except a small per cent. It also says he will get cent or more of tbe votes oast for Seth Low. * To be exact, tbe Post declares that Van Wyck will get 233,572 votes that were cast for his brother, 47,000 of the votes cast for Low and 17,000 of tbe George votes. This is a fair estimate according to the Post, and Roosevelt to overcome Van Wyck’s majority in Greater New York must have at least one hundred thousand majority in the state outside of tbe city. Few. con servative politicians believe that Roosevelt «vHI have such a majority putside of tbe city. . Remarkatle Smcus. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111. makes tbe statement that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated a month by her family physician, but grew worse.

Chicago «*■ New Tori POSSESSION OF PHILIPPINES Would Not Compensate This Govern ment For Its Outlay It is admitted that when our com missioners started for Paris their in structions did not include a demand for a whole of the Philippines. They were to demand tbe island of Luxon, if circumstance- for doing so were favor able, and if they were not, then they were to demand only the city and bay of Manila Tbe recent visit of the President to tbe West satisfied him that public sentiment was in favor of demanding tbe whole of the Philippines, and so, according to our dispatches yesterday, a demand bas been made by our peace commissioners for all of tbe islands. Is not the President "mistaken in bis view that it is tbe will of the peo ple that all of the Philippines be de manded? We are inclined to think that he is. Whether be is or not will become apparent when the treaty comes before tbe Senate for ratifica tion. From tbe tone of the newspa* pers in different parte of the country a big fight will bo made on tbe treaty if, as now seems probable, it is agreed that Spain shall be paid $40,000,000 to relinquish her claim to the islands. It is not stated, of course, that we are to pay Spain that sum. It is stated that we are to assume that part of the Span ish debt that was incurred in making improvements in the islands. But it amounts to the same thing. We are to pay out $40,000,000, and Spain is to get that sum. But what are we to get from the islands that will compensate us for outlay? And it must not be forgot ten that tbe sum we pay Spain will be only the beginning of our Philippine expenses. We shall have to maintain a big army there and a large adminis trative force. It .will cost us $20,000,000 s year at least to govern tbs islands, and if the uatives should prove to be rebellious, as they likely would, it would take $100,000,000 a year, under our extrav* agant way of doing things. And what are we going to get from the Philippines? Under tbe most favora ble conditions the revenues do not amount to more than $10,000,000 a year.' And they will not begin to amount to that unless we adopt Spain’s methods of' collecting them. We cannot very well do that, and we shall find it rather difficult, if our purpose is to extend our trade to the far East, to put in force our own tariff laws. England is already intimating that she will expect us to adopt the "open door” policy. In tbe event of our refusal we shall find our oppor* tunit.ii* for increasing our trade in the far East very limited. It looks, there fore, as if the possession of the Philip pines meant an immense increase in our annual expenses without any very great increase in our income from our new possessions. Naturally, tbe President and his ad visors would like to go down in his tory as having added tbe immense Philippine territory to the United States. Has not this desire something to do with the opinion which the President bas reached that tbe people of tbe entire country are insisting that the Philippines shall be ours?—Sa vannah News.

First, Second and Seventh Amy Corps To do Garrison Duty- Washixoton, Nov. 3—On the ba»io \>f a postponement of the military oc cupation of Cuba (or about a month longer, the war department has already begun general preparations fur em barking the troops for the island. Within a few days orders will bo issu ed, directing tbe government fleet of transports to assemble al Savannah, where nearly or quite all of the troops will embark. It is proposed to have these vessels arrive tat tbe port of intended embark ation a few days before the first of December, in order that there may be no delay in sending out of first regi ments on tbe first day of tbe month, according to the declared intention of the administration. ; Plans for garrisoning Cuba received some encouragement today, when Sec retary Alger was informed by the Spanish Transatlantic company of their having the, contract for trans porting tbe Spanish forces and that forty ships were about to leave Spain for Cuba, capable of transporting tbe Spanish soldiers to Spain very rapidly. It was said by officials at tbe war department today that three army corps, the First, tbe Second, and the Seventh, would be employed in garri son duty in Cuba. Free Libraries. It is proposed by the convention of Georgia librarians in session in Atlanta last week to petition tbe legielatnre to establish, at the public expense, free libraries in different parts of tbe state. Should such a measure be introduced, we trust that tbe general assembly will promptly reject it, says the Mari etta Journal. The state treasurer in bis published statement, estimates that the tax rate this year will be higher* than it has ever been in tbe history of the state. Considering the low price of cotton we believe that our taxes are as heavy as tbe most of our people can bear, with* out this super-added expense. We wlieve tbe scheme to be unjust in principle—that is, unless a library is established in every city, town, village hamlet or crossroads in tbe state, a thing clearly impracticable—as many people who would be taxed to support tbe libraries could not receive tbe ben fit of them. It is far more important that chil dren should be given tbe means to add to their store of knowledge—a good common school education—than that books, many of them of doubtful utili ty, should be placed before them. Be sides, general reading is a matter of taste, and to indulge in it would, to many persons, afford no pleasure whatever. They should not therefore be taxed for tbe benefit of others. Books are now very cheap, and he who reads should pay the bill. In order that every child in the state may have tbe foundation upon which to build any sort of an educa tion he may desire, we advocate tbe withdrawal of the appropriations from all tbe colleges in Georgia (except tbe School of Technology and the Indus trial School) assisted by the state, and devoting these sums to tbe public schools. Only a few can attend the bigherer institutions of learning; tbe many must depend upon tbe common school. Tbe colleges (except the Tech nological and Industrial) do not fit a young pereqn for tbe duties of life; tbe common school provides him or her with all that is necessary to be known in order to transact business success fully.
