An Encampment site.

The frst thing the military advisory
board should, and doubtless will, bear IN
mind in selecting a permanent site for an
annual encampment, is that no place should
be chosen simply because it offers the great
est Inducements in land or money. or both.
The larger cities can, Of course, make bet
ter offers than the smaller ones, but dona-
tons Of land or money are not Of as much
Importance as good climate, good water and
freedom from influences that would have a
bad effect upon the soldiery. Ii is ques-
tion as 10 Whether it would not be advisable
20 keep away from the larger cities. The
purpose Of the encampment is TO acquire an
acquaintance with camp life and knowl-
edge of military matters. The encsmp-
ment can be productive Of good results only
by the enforcement OF the stric:est disci-
pine. II is IN no case an occasion for a
frolic, although to most Of those who take
part in it there is's certain amount Of rec
restion. because it is a radical change from
their ordinary mode OF life.
1t is certain that the board will receive
quite a number Of proposals, and each city
making a proposal will have in view the
benefits IL hopes to receive rather than the
good Of the volunteers. Il is only natural
that such should be the casa. No place
would seek 20 secure the encampment IL it
did not expect to receive some benefit from
it. But the advisory board has only one OBJ
ject in view, and that is the securing Of a
site that is the most easily, cheaply and
quickly reached by the great majority of
the volunteers and that is healthful and
out of easy reach of demoralizing influences.
The great objection to Chickamauga is
that it is too far away from the volunteers
in the southern part of the state, aud the
change in the water and climate is too radi-
cal for them. The journey to and from
there is too exhausting, particularly as the
stay in camp Is short.
A very large portion Of the volunteers
are in the southern part Of the state, and
that fact should have great weight with the
advisory board. Savannah is especially In
terested In having the camp site located as
near her as Is consistent with other condi-
tions which are essential.
There is the utmost confidence that the
board will do what it believes to be best for
all interests, still 1t may not be out of place
TO urge it to be on its guard against the
pressure that will be brought to bear In
favor Of places that have few, IL any.
natural advantages but which hope to
secure the site by offers Of land and money.

The grandfather who owned the hat which
has become famous in the illustrated current
literature had a war during his administra,
tion. The grandson, who now possesses the
has, would possibly like to mark his name
in history in the same manner; but it seems
that he is afraid to advise it. The MORNING
NEWS dispatches yesterday said the Presi-
dents message to congress would contain
neither suggestion of war nor the for-
warding Of an ultimatum to Chile. In other
words the message will only tell over again
the story Of the controversy contained in

Appropriately Celebrated.

The S5th anniversary OF the birth Of Gen.
Robert E. Lee was appropriately celebrated
in this city. The military organizations
were out in force and they never appeared
to better advantage. They seemed to real
ize that they were honoring the memory Of
one OF the noblest and best of men-the
memory that is dearest to southern hearts.
Although we have good many holidays,
there Is no one of them that is likely to have
more influence upon the lives of coming
generations Of southern youths, for as the
years go by the fame of Gen. Lee, not only
as soldier, but as a great and good man,
will grow greater. His life and character
will be studied. and the more they are
studied the greater will be the desire of the
young men of the south to take him as their
model.
And his was life worthy Of emulation.
There have been few great men whose aims
were SO high, whose life was so pure, and
whose character was so noble. His memory
cannot be recalled too often, not alone be-
cause he deserves to be remembered, but
because of its uplifting and ennobling ln-
fuence.

hold it true that thoughts are things
Endowed with bodies, breath and wings.
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good resuts-or i'll.
That which we call our secret thought.
Speeds to the earth's remotest SPOT.
And leaves it's blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes.
It is Gods law. Remember
In your still chamber as you sit
With thoughts you would not dare have known.
And yet make comrades when alone.
These thoughts have life; and they will fly
And leave their impress by aud by,
Like some marsh breeze, whose poisoned braatb
Breathes into homes its fevered breath,
And after you have quite forgot
Or all outgrown some vanished Thought
Back to your mind to make it's home
a dove or raven, it will come.
Then let your secret thoughts be fair:
They have vital part and share
In shaping worlds and molding fate
Gods system is so intricate

Twenty-Five republican members of congress
most OF them from the west, put themselves on
record In favor of tho Holman resolution de-
claring subsidies and bounties in favor Of pri-
vate enterprises and industries to be unjust
and lmpolltic, and in manifest conflict with the
spirit Of our institutions" Only forty-oue
other republicans, among them most Of the
party leaders in the House, could be mustered
against this resolution. But the republican
vote in favor Of the anti-subsidy resolution is

An Atlantic Coast Canal

The proposition to construct a canal from
New York to Jacksonville, Fla, which was
made to the New York Board Of Trade and
Transportation some days ago, and to
which attention was called in the MORN
ING News. is being earnestly dis
oussed by leading business men
of New York. Very few OF those
who now think well Of it, regarded it
seriously before they heard 1t explained at
the board of trade meeting. They thought
it wild scheme that would do TO talk
about but that was not practicable. They
think differently of it now.
The main argument IN favor OF it was
presented by Prof. Haupt, OF the University
OF Pennsylvania, who had made an ex-
haustive study Of the subject. and who was
therefore well informed with respect to
every phase Of it. The suggested route Of
the canal is across New Jersey to the Della
ware river and across the state of Delaware
TO Chesapeake bay. From that bay it ex-
tends inland and passes through the Dismal
Swamp, in Virginia, and crosses Albemarle
and Pamlico sounds, in North Carolina
thence 1t crosses South Carolina and passes
along the inland route to Jacksonville. This,
Of course, is a very brief outline, but It is
sufficient to give general idea of what is
proposed. The scheme is magnificent one,
and it is asserted by those who are ac-
quainted with the proposed route that the
canal could be constructed for a compare
lively small amount Of money.
The constructing Of canal along the
proposed route is not new suggestion.
John G.. Calhoun, when he was Secretary of
War, was an earnest advocate OF such q
canal lie advocated it, however, not 80
much because Of the commercial advan-
tages that would be derived from it as be-
cause of the facilities it would give the gov
eminent to communicate with the South
Atlantic cities If the southern ports should
be blockaded. The development of railway
systems in the south made a canal unneces-
sary for the purpose he had in view.
The New York business men who are dis
cussing the proposition believe that the
canal would pay large dividend upon the
money invested in il. 1t would greatly
cheaper transportation rates between the
South Atlantic states and New York All
the South Atlantic cities, as well as Balti-
more, Philadelphia and New York, would
be greatly benefited. 1t is quite certain
that great deal more will be heard Of the
proposed canal in the near future.
