What has become of Camara

Spain evidently did not put a

As a proclamation writer
Gen. Miles seems to be right, at
the head of the coluinn.
David Bonnett Hill announc
es that he is not entcrely dead.
Miles is raising the standard
most uniformly all over Porto

Teddy Roosevelt may be al)
right—but be must quit brag

There should be no
in Uncle Sam making peace just
as successfully as he made war.
The west has been in it durin
the war—the Oregon and Olym
pia were both built in Stu Fran
cisco.
Some of the bovs seem to
•/
think that Uncle Sam should
secure Madrid as a coaling sta
tion .

One real good coaling station
in the Philippines is all we need
in our business—in that section
of the world.
Alabama’s democratic major
ity has paralyze d the pops—but
just wait until Your Uncle Allen
D. Candler’s returns are in.
Candidate Hogan had just as
well “quit the drive” and lot in
.make Allea I). Candler's election
unanimous.—A Il any Herald.
Miles seems determined to be
in San Juan, Porto Rico, in
time to receive his notification
that peace has been declared.
Dr. Nordau and other promi
nent Jews are still agitating the
question of purchasing Palestine
and having their countrymen
return there.
We have had enough discord
ant elements in the Union al
ready without adding others of
a semi-barbaric nature. Let the

« When he concluded he stepp d

( The Chai lotto Observer says:
“Walter Howard, a war corres
pondent of a New York newspa
per, has just returned from Cuba,
and it is said that he brought
with him an expense account of
1 $33,000. This may bo an exag
gerated statement, but it is un
deniably true that the newspa
papers of this country have been
put to enormous expense in se
curing war news.”

It is hoped that the new law
1 is to admitting men to the bar
, will stop the spawn of pettifog
gers.— \ugusta Herald.
Why worry about such an
j issue as they? If a man is a “pet

the country after being admitted
go the bar than in his previous
, natural condition.

Senator Morgan doesn’t be
lieve that peace is as near at
hau l as many people think it is.
According to the senator’s
views the Spaniards dout know
how badly they are whipped,
and until they find it out they
u will not accept our terms of
‘ peace.
Secretary Day has been notified

As Alfonso XII lay dying in .
188 G, he- is said to have aroused i
from a. stupor and cried “What'
a conflict, my God, what a con-,
tlict.” Now, who can veil us if, I
the dying king s vision pierced
the future, if he saw the strug- ■
gle of Alfonso XIII with the'
measles, or Spain wiggling her i
fool self to death while Uncle
Sam held her up by the hair of
the head.
The Pope was physically the
feeblest of the triumvirate made 1
by himseif, Gladstone»and Bis
mark—the three greatest men of
their day—but he has outlived
his compeers. His growing in
firmities, however, make it cer-1
tain that he will not long survive
his masterful contemporaries.
Mrs. J. Addison Porter, wife'
of President McKinley’s secre
tary, brought with her from
Cuba several souvenirs of the
attack on Santiago. Among
them were four swords, one of i
which belonged to a Spanish'
officer and bears bloodstains.
The officer was. doubtless also a
bullfighter, else the bloodstains
are a mystery.
To be classed as a millionaire
in the United States a num :
must be worth at least $1,000,-1
000; in England he must have
five times as much, or $5,000,-
000; in Germany, 1,000,000!
marks, or $250,000.
“If we take all of Spain’s poses
sions in this continent” says the
Augusta. Chronicle 14 we can certain
ly affoid to hands i ff of the other
hemisphere. Wo don’t want the
earth with a barbed wire fence
around it.”
A weekly editor advertises for a
cook . What on earth does he want
with such an article? Peaches and
watermelons are eaten in their
natural state and it isn’t time to
, catch possums or for subscribers to
pay up in potatoes, turnips and I
spare ribs.—Americus Herald.
Now that Spain has been whip
ped so genteelly and so humanely
the price of her bonds has begun
to appreciate on the markets of
Europe. The nations seemed to
think the Yankee intended to de
stroy the bull fighters from the
face of the earth.
