WilKjrsin Block. Areuue i " - If Alger would only retire, al so. Commodore Watson will not sail, • Santiago is certainly not a summer resort. Why should Hobson be afraid of Miss Arnold's big brother. Th£ “Gem of the Antilles’ has been cast before the 'i ankee pig ß Now watch the Sugar Barons and the Tobacco Kings rushing to the front. •‘Fighting Joe” Wheeler and Teddy Roosevelt have led the heroes home. Why should Cuba be saddled with a debt incurred for the ben efit of Spain? The armed camps of Europe are learning the art of war from the Americans. Teddy’s “Round Robbin” proved a homeing pigeon for the Santiago army. The “Spanish main” and the “Yankee Maine” will never for get to remember A naval demonstration is booked for New York fur the latter part of th* week. Even a protocol seems to be poor protection for the enemy when Dewey is on deck. The Yankee ferry boats are not working over time on that Cuba-Spanish excursion. Miles don’t need a bath tub so long as he can “slosh around” in Porto Rican hospitality. Tom Watson seems to have been lost in the shuffle. Tom will now write a history of Spain. With peace declared let monu ments at once be erected over the remain* of our island dead. Chicago is actively at work in vast preparations for the grand Peace Jubilee for next summer The war is over but the pri vate tongue of the public contin ues to lick the war revenue ■tamp. Hooley is not hankering after a trial before his peers. Neither has Hooley’s career "been a „oeerless one. I* —i" Sampson’s report has pigeon holed him forever. Poor sordid, Tbeifish man. He is a disgrace to ta he uniform. man ” here Aguinaldo wears a Jim Cor inoett pompadour. Os course he is an bluffer, else he would take iQiown his sign. ci ss t< Spain knew she had enough, f hence she jumped at the very ’ first opportunity and broke her 1 record for “haggling.” When Secretary Day retires it will be a fine D.iy-go. When it becomes Secretary Hay, then it will be a fine Hay-dav. Send the yellow fever experts to Cuba and keep them there until they can cleaiue the foun-J lain headj deadly germ. 1 Stories of Cubans charging ■ with the machete and routing’ I two or three times as many Spaniards are beginning to come iin again. The insurgents must be getting short of rations once i more. Their press agents never d<» much work until they get hungry.—Albany Herald. Col. John S. Candler now has the largest regiment in the . south. John Candler is one of the very best commanding offi cers ever commissioned too. We would like to see Co). Candler get at least a taste of service be foie his regiment is mustered out. Mark Hanna hai opined that [the next. Republican campaign will be fought out on war issues. It would be agreeable to Mark to have it this way, but the Democrats are not going to per. mit him to send a substitute to the front when the battle begins. Dewey captured Manila on Saturday. He had cut the cable, you remember, and knew noth ing of the peace protocol. Dew ey is tlie rearest real admiral of the ocean. The fact is Dewey is so very rear that he leads th§ procession. "" ■ 1 * A report comes via the New York Journal that the volunteers recruited under the second call of the President for troops will be mustered out of service with in thirty days, if th* peace ne gotiations go through all right. The United States lost a firm friend when W. Ramsden, Brit is Consul to Santiago de Cuba, canceled Nature’s obligation. His death removes a heroic fig ure from the stage of action in the West Indies. Sompson jumps over Sclrey at list. Each man is a rear ad mirol, but Schley is more in the rear.—Savannah Press. Time about is fair play. Samp son was the rearest in the batt'* off Santiago. Hobson has entered no com pl tint and the St. Louis belle has not said it was not the most de licious smack she ever tasted— so why should the balance of us ke*p pawing up the earth? Give ’em a rest. "Y”' X!- " -L.,' The war with the Dons cost us a cool $150,000,000, We get no money indemnity, but we will nave Cuba, Porto Rico and a few coaling stations, that were Spanish before the “scrap” opened. The board of strategy should be mustered out of service promptly *o that the overwork ed minds of this aggiegation of geniuses may take a much need ed rest. ■ * Will Fitzhugh Lee be named on the peace commission,or will lie be sent to Cuba as captain general of that Spanish cursed, Yankee-rescued isle? England demands of China that she remove Li Hung Chang. If England want* it, why the I nited State* and Japan are both willing. The war may b* ov*r, but Spain ha* the satisfaction of knowing that she played the Jim Johnsen with one of our ships— he Maine. lhe war is over, but the news papers can easily fafl back on ch* South Carolina political campaign and the Corbett-Mc- Coy fiasco. ■l2 Fancy new honey, in comb or strained, at Lloyd A Harper’s * Also new Paragon Honey syrup, I it’s delicious. j the south’s oppoaruN-I ITY. New market* must come to I the southern states with the ac quisition of Cuba, Porto Rico [and ports in th* far east. The new market* for cotton alone will be worth to this country incalculably more than the cost of the war and their values to the south enhanced by the con struction of the Nicaragua canal and the sanitary removal of fever pests in adjaceat inlands which have now come into control. Free trade with Porto Rico and Cuba together offers a terri tory for the sale of cotton, baled or manufactured, which will make a vast gain for the staple product of lhe south. Hawaii, and even the little island of Guam, wher* cotton fabrics are used most exclu*ively will be bases for distribution in those regions and will offer a constant, if limited demand. The new market in the Philip pines, however, says th* St. Louis Republic, is destined to revolutionize cur export trade in cotton as well as to make a marked impression upon other ' lines of American trade. Manila, lying as it doe* at th* gateway - to the populous countries of the H Orient, will become under i American dominance the store house of our products for A*ia to draw upon. Ch ina alcne can swallow up \ the entire cotton crop of the { Southern states at prices which i must be better by reason of the ' elimination of the European <( middleman who has been trad- / ing in the Orient at the expense of the American planter and job- " her for fifty years. I While the agricultural and j manufacturing interests of alj settions of this country must re ( a’ize upon the results of expand- ( ing opportunities, no other sec- . tion is in j osition geographical- ' ly to B*cure the vast benefits | now offered to the Southern < United States Th* new era of growth will dawn with the con- ' cl usion of peace and the estab- I lishment of fre* trade with the , islands of the Caribs and the far East, The completion of the I Nicaragua canal will make of i every port ftom Galveston to Norfolk a mart for maiitiro* ’ commerce with our South.
