The white dove of peace is still flapping its wings. Noah is said to be the first broker to float stocks. Mile’s campaign in Porto Ri co is the picnic of the war.

That great European war that wa« to come as a result of th*- Hispano American conflict has failed to materialize.

A law granting SSOO to every burgher who is the f ather of twelve I bovs has hem introduced in the I • Transvaal Volksraad, Suppose Miles does capture Port* Rico without loss of life, does such an accident justify his claim for a Lieutenant General ship? Shafter has betrayad Teddy Roosevelt’s private letter. Teddy should have profited by the Georgia democratic primary of last spring. Ry the fall of Santiago and the Cuban cable station Spain bas lost the sweet click-click of the musical typewriter, operated by Blanco. Grover Cleveland, like Mrs. Hayes’ lata husband, is starting a chicken farm. Grover will never be able to raise democratic roosters, again, however. Two or three American men of-war may be sent through the Suez canal to re-enforce Admi ral Dewey’s fleet. Should the Oregon be one of the vessels or dered to the Philippines, as ia hinted, her new cruise would be a remarkable supplement to the voyage of that battleship around the South American continent. Returning later to San Francis co, the Oregon would have made the most wonderful cir cumnavigation of the waters of the world achieved by any man of-war in naval history. Spt-akei Reed predicts with pat riotic confidence in the enterprise of his countrymen, that a new era of prosperity will set. in after re covery from the check given to business by the war it is evident that the Speaker does not hold, vith Senator Thurston and other eminent Jingo statesmen, that war is a great promoter of national prosperity. JB. —‘g Louisville has determined to exempt from taxation for a pe riod of five years any new man ufacturingenterprises that may be started up at that place. Rome has many richer attractions to offer and therefore does not have to discriminate against the man ufacturers now engaged in hell - ing build the city. ‘A 1 J. "’J The Rev.

It was Commodore Schley who said that the naval victory at Santiago was “big enough for us all.” Admiral Sampson might have kaid something more to the point, but it was necessary to show where the New York was. —Constitution. Don Carlos pretends that he is too chivalric to order a rising in his own behalf while Spain is in such great distress, but how does he ever hope to gain the throne until his distracted coun try has reached the last stages of desperation?—Chattanooga News. S .ntiago must have a garrison —then who better to send there than the iinmunes. These gallant boys by the act of enlistment bound themselves for this very duty. Let Senator Bacon, et al engage thwir services and enter their protests elsewhere. 25.000 men have always made a sufficient large standing army for the United States, now, how ever, we are told that it will take 50,000 troops to keep Cuba in a state of peace after the war is over. Who is to pay the freight? Coming from the Boston Globe, this statement has double force and appositeness : “Per haps if Gen. had not been so good a democrat he would have been assigned before now to a responsible position at the front.” The Cork Examiner declares that Admiral Sampson was born in County Limerick, Ireland. This must be an error, for no Limerick Irishman would delib ately rob a fellow officer as Sampson has done Schley.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processus known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in evoiding the worthleu imitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the mine of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all oilier laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it docs not gripe nor nauseate. In order to get its beneficial effects, please remember the name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. LOUISVILLE. " *EW YORK. N. V. And now they claim that the Spaniards do not write letters because they cannot lick stamps, Ray’s “immunes were delight ed when ordered to march on Santiago. Ry this time they are in transports. From thsir kindly manifesta tions we gather that our British friends know a baud wagon when they see cue, and know a'so what to do when it draws near. The average water drinker dams the Etowah every time he encompasses a gulp of Oosta naula real estate. Who ruint them water works, anyhow? Ray’s immunes knew what they were doing when they en listed. Then why raise a kick when they are ordered to do that for which they were enlisted? i » France will not take a ha»d in the war so long as there is a chance that a wandering American squad ron might capture Devil’s Island and give Capt, Dreyfus a chance to tell his storv. Gen. Miles has cut off his mustache, and will confirm the Spaniards in their belief that expedition against Porto Rico s a barefaced proceeding, says the Chicago Ledger. There is a Gen. G ircia in Cu ba ; there is a Gen. Garcia in Porto Rico, there is a Gen. Gar cia in the Philippines. Has John Smith taken a non de guerre and gone on the warpath? Gen. Coppinger is perhaps the only United States officer who has also seen service in the ranks cf the British army. The son oi a Warwickshire squire, he serv ed as a “Tommy Adkins” before he came to this country. LADIES’ FINE SAILORS.

IL was given a newspaper to read, but he could not, and was just as succeeßfu’ when asked to write in English, and when reminded of his ii.« fliciencv he said: ‘‘Veil.

Perhaps she felt that she really ought ot wear something, observes the Chicago Times-dierald. o o o The people of H molulu are very much interested in a natural curi osity which there exists in the shape of an algaroba bush, or honey mesquite, which is growing upside down. Tnis remarkable plant is ths property of C. B. Ray nolds who drove an algaroba branch into the ground suull end first as a suppirt for a vine.

Hav ing missed one of his students from the kirk sch >ol for several Sunday®, a Scotch minister said to one of his relatives: “I haena seen yeer cousin Bell at the class for a long while. Ye ken it’s her duty tae attend the schule. Whar has she gaen?” “I canua very weel tell ye that, meenister,” was the cautious reply, “but she’s deed. ” o o o When the eminent botanist. Profession Altman, of Glasgow, was a small boy he had the pres ent of a silver bit. whereupon his mother was so worried with the questions as to what hj should do with it that she exclaimed: “Real ly, you had better go to Thomas Elliot’s (a well known pharma cist,) and buy sixpence worth of patience.’’ Down th u street marched the lad and demanded of the chemist. “Mr. Elliot, please give me six pence worth of patience.” Mr, Elliot, taking in the sit uation at a glance,suid; “Certain ly, my boy there’s a chair. Just sit down and wait till you get it.” Professor Aitman’s endeavor to purchase patience was a great suc cess. It has never b<>nu forgotten by either himself or hie friends. o o o “Now.” said the lawyer who was conducting the cross examina tion, “yon will please state how and where you first met this man.” “I think,” said lady with the sharp nose, “that it was.—” “Never mind what you think,” interrupted the lawyer, “We want facts here.

The Roosevelt “round-robin” sings the first notes of hope Spain has heard since the picnic opened. Hobson is the son of Georgia’s daughter, then little wonder he had a big t ime visiting his grand parents. An exchange says “Merritt will win in the Philippines.” Merrit should always and at all places win. The secretary of war is a queer animal. He his been frantic to get immune regiments to Santi ago.
