The Hustler-Com merciai has the confidence of the classe.' and the masses —because it mer its and deserves the confident* of all its readers.

The Span ish board of strategy should cap ture Dwight, 111., and stay there long enough to get the stuff en tirely out of its system. Yellow fever in the s >uth is abutting, but the twisted-hemp epidemic is still working death to an occasional negro —Chicago Record. Theres always a bonnhful supply of rope in the South, and th* southerons know how to use it on the rapist—be he black or white. 4he count to date shows that every town in the United States has a “boy” with Dewey at Manila. And every blessed one of these young heroes is writing home to the old folks, telling them the same story. But what can we Deweyboutit? Readers of novels of Captain Charles King will look for more stories with a new note from lis pen when he returns from the Philippine Islands, whither he g es as a brigadier general of volunteers under General Mer itt. Reinember Judge Fish has made a model < fiicer, that he gave up his business to go on the bench rnly a year ago, and that good democratic custom gives a faithful official a second term as an endorsement.

It will lend vigor to the as sault of our soldiers atSanitiago f they shall remember that it was at that place the Virginia victims were mthlessly slnugh cered, to the horror of Christen lorn. ’“The friendliness of some rail road presidents to the administrs'- tion seems to have altogether to* nuch to do in determining which of the Florida camps is mos lealthful,” observes the Chicago Record. Princeton conferred on Dewei two degree of LL D., Doctor o Laws. It strikes us that Ph. D would have been t.h Q more appro priate degree—“ Doer of Philipp ines,’’ is the way an exchange puts it. A law recently adopted in Italy requires that every employ er shall, at his own cost, com nensate his workmen for all ac cidents the consequences o‘ which last, more than fiveday s.

The Herald seem to forget that Allen D. Candle: is the first governor Georgia has called from north of Atlanta since the days of Joe Brown— and the second Governor north Georgia has furnished, in the history of the state. The London Spectator says that “the Americans, with the position they assume in th* world as protectors of two con tinents, need a fleet as larg-e at that of France, and an army -di 50,000 men bo over-officered in ill grades and so over-supplied with artillery, engineers and transports, that it can be . ex panded at a month’s notice with, trained reservists to 150,000 men.” A waiter who died this week n Boston left the snug little for une of $30,000, most of whicl> represented an accumulation o’ the tips showered upon him b; vellseived guests during the past forty years. If an ordinary hotel waiter can husband such a tidy sum in forty years it would be interesting to know hovt much a frugal Pullman car par ter could save in the same period if time. ■r n g - ■ • The Colorado miners ...are •hanging the names of many of their plants to those.of famous men of the present war.
