It is not in payment for “sovereignty.” We will not get the lion’s share of the trade with our colo nies, unless we either shut other Rations out of our colonial ports ur else show that we can sell them merchandise cheaper than can England and Germany, our chief rivals. Sam Jones is lambasting the legislature. Jie says Bpwaker Little has “packed tff reduo ed rummies” on the Temperance Committee to the tune of 21 to 17, and says there is one drunkard in the lijiish.ture who is not on the Temperance Com mittee.” • Is anybody in Georgia looney enough to believe for a moment that the overly righteous Macon Telegraph would or could see anything commendable m GuV.

The llaitiuid ’limes says, “The fait that Spain has agreed to accept fresideut McKinley’s oflwr of $20,000 for the right to appoint yuliumcuand otiur of ficials in the Piii ii } lues . will not »top the opposition of men like Senator Hoar lo the ratifi cation of any lieatx tu fairy that ■ktarrangeim nt into tficct.” A practical recognition of how much Spain’s deterioration has been hastened by the war is to be found in the fact that France hits just reduced the compensa tion of her Ambassador to Mad rid while she has increased that of her Ambassador to this coun try until the latter is about the highest paid of any Ambassador at Washington. Nothing’discourages a town •o much as a prohibition cam paign. Like kerosene oil, i seeps into ever) thing and is lia ble to flare into a dangetous blaze as the result of even a careless move on the part of th most innocent or thoughtless. The Nashville American thinks that: “Hie congress of these United States should appreciate money enough to build a coffer dam around the wreck of the Maine and show to the represen tatives of all lhe nations that her destruction was the work of the enemy. It was the blowing up of the Maine which caused the war with Spain.” RECORD OF THI WAR.

The Petit Journal Pour Eire, of Paris, has made such outra geous fun of the tiip of the Ger man Emperor that, at the re quest of the German Ambassa dor, the issue containing a long and offensive article has, it is said, been suppressed. Part of the article, which is’ illustrated, gives what purports to be ex acts from the Kaiser’s diary, which show him to be displeas ed that he could not walk on the Sea of Galilee, but determined to try agnia at Berlin, when the frost sets in. The Spanish naval appropria tion for next year will doubtless be invested in life preservers. This suggestion i* food -for thought, and if not acted upon, the Spanish men-of-wars-men will continue to make food for fishes.
