The sight of an iee wagon yesterday cansed tbe same revulsion of feeling to the average Amerions oit as wonld a water wagon on Christmas eve. An A'lanta divoroee desoribes her bneband as a "high toned hobo and bird of passage.” Old Peaohtree just can’t be kept mnzzled. This is the brand of weather wherein the eoal man, with the dignity becom ing his station, refuses to notioe tbe poor ioe man as he passes by. AmericuB has, for three days, strug gled through the vilest weather of a twelvemontb; sliet, rain and stnsb, and little relief yet in sight. The Hon. Jim Woodward is suggest ed as a good man to help Teddy organ ize his peaco conference. The Hen. Hob Fitsimmons would be another. Americas is still skating through tbe worst weather of a twelvemontb. If only Old Hoi would show his fsoe muoh else might be forgiven. WORLD WONDERS AT RESULTS. Tbe cfllcial statement comes from the beadqnarteis of tbe Japanese Gen eral Okn that in bis entire army, since May 0 last, only forty deaths have oc- onrred from disease During that time Osn. Oka has been in command of more than 150,WO men, and 24.642 have been at some time on the siok Us* *. That only forty ehonld have died is one of the most extraordinary faota In tbe history of military operations. In the same period Gen.Okn has lost 5,127 men killed and 21,080 wounded, yet only forty succumbed to disease Dnr- ing the civil war the Union forces lost 67,068 killed in action, while 199,720 died of disease. Beth American and European armies suffer heavier losses from disease than from actual fighting. In the civil war 43,013 Union soldiers died from wound", and here again comparison with the Japanese armies shows an immense margin in their fa vor. The Japanese surgeons perform few field operations, and, after first aid to the wounded, send them to the rear, where the chief dependence is on the reparative forees of nature. No state ment is given of how Gen. Oku’s med ical ofiloers treated the 24,643 sick Jap anese, bat tbe fact that the mortality was less than 2 per 1000 will astonish tbe most elaborately organized army midloal departments. Either tbe Jap anese soldiers bave marvelous consti tutions, or tbeir medieal officers .know some important things not' yet mas tered elsewhere. Are the Japs qmetly and indireotly revising tbe world in general? AMERICUS COTTON MARKET. Correotod Dally by L, G. Counoil Warehouse and Commission Marohant. Oar market yesterday was steady.

Where’s the ".nnny sooth”? Amerions is in the Sonny South all *igh*, from a geographical standpoin*, bat a casual visitor here just now wonld lot think so. Only three weeks of the present ses sion of Congress remains, ia whioh the members will do nothing beyond draw pay and look wise. Mr. Boob denies that he has twenty wives and probably be is telling tbe troth. Tbe penitentiary wonld have few terrors for a man with that many, Johann Hoeh is in j -all in Chicago charged wi h having sixteen living wives and with murdering about as many more. He ought to be able to prove himself insane. Czar Ntok had better embrace the first ebacee offered to sneak out of hia •ciap with Mike Adoo. Nick is clearly -outclassed and badly licked. It would have been far better for General Miles to bave kept bis mouth •hut regarding the sbaokling of Prec- ident Davis and carried the story of that infsmy to his grave. Wbst do decisions against tbe beef trust amount to when the pries of beef remains at the old figure*? What the people want is not lengthy legal dis quisitions, but cheaper beef. Wood’s Seeds.
