No, that isn't a joke 1t is hot down
there. The air burns the brows of vour
eyes and puts scorching waters on your
lips. 1t sucks the life out of you when YOU
brea the.
But just think of what they were aud
what they are. A few days ago, exerting
the last ounce of strength from the break
OF dawn till darkness. Under a burden of
arms and ammunition, through intermina-
Die hours, plowlng on-hghtng, climbing
running, falling, always striving desper-
aleIy, with health gone and heart pound
ing on RIBS. You don't know what is to
be hot until you are carrying pounds of
steel and lead, with nothing to eat and
nothing to drink, and the fever of fight in
your blood
And there is no rest at night There Is
the work on the outposts' the patrols and
the guards and the intensity of expecta-
ton through the night, the authorization of
danger always staring at you from every

Think of the Santiago army living
through those things every day and night.

unclothed--naked as babies-in the heavy
dews that soak them with their damp cool

Capt. Crowninshield, Chief Of the Blu
reau Of Navigation. has furnished COM
plcte and, in every respect a satisfac-
tory answer to the charge made 10y Mr.
Cunningham Graham in an article pub
lished in a British magazine. that the
gunners of Dewey's squadron VINO did
such excellent shooting in Manila Bay
on May !. were Englishmen who had
been euticed away from Great Britain $
Asiatic fleet by the offer of $50 month.
Capt. Crowninshield looked up the records
of the men who compose the crews Of the
ships Of Admiral Dewey's squadron. and
found that all the men, 1,445. are Ameri-
cans by birth or adoption, except q, and
Of these a only eight are British subjects.
OF the men who aimed the guns which
destroyed Admiral Montejo's feet not one
was an Englishman.
The very small number of foreigners in
the crews of the vessels or Admiral Dew
eys squadron shows that the men of that
squadron are American to the backbone
We do not know what the records would
show in respect to the crews of our other
warshlps, but We are satisfied that there
are very few foreigners among them.
AS matter of fact the enlistment of
foreigners in our navy is not encouraged.
The Americans are the most intelligent,
and at the same time the best. fighters
in the world, and therefore only Ameri-
cans are wanted in the navy.
Why Mr. Cunningham Graham should
have given circulation 20 the idiotic story
chat our guns al Manila were manned by
Englishmen is inexpncable, except on the
theory that he desired to get his name
before the public, and took that means to
accomplish his purpose.
The reason the gunners of the American
navy are so sldlfull is that they are given
ample opportunities to perfect them
selves in gunnery. Congress has not hest
tated to make appropriations for gun
practice, and it is apparent now that the
appropriations were wisely made. It Is
doubtful If the gunners of the navy OF
any other nation are so skilfuu as are
those of our navy. If Mr.. Cunningham
Graham had kept himself Informed in re-
spect to naval matters he would have
known that Admiral Dewey had no rea-
son for seeking expert gunners on English
ships. He had gunners much superior to
the English on his own ships

The people of Atlanta, in anticipation Of
the approaching municipal election. are
discussing the question Of the cost of their
city government They ind that the mu-
nicipal expenses have run up enormously
during the past few years. In twelve years
the annual Cost of the police department
has grown from sl9,Z73 to $l44,CzS, an in
crease of Sgl75f, v lille the annual cost Of
the fire department has increased more
tnan $4,000. These figures are calculated
10 bring TO the, minds of the people OF
Savannah the fact that the cost of their
municipal Housekeeping has been
bounding upward during the last few
years.
Possibly a great many Savannah tax
payers, while realizing very positively the
heavy rate OF taxation. are not well aware
Of how steadily the city expenses have
been piled up year after year out Of an
proportion to the growth of the municipal
ity in population OF property values, until
the tax burden has become wen nigh in
toleraoie. For The purpose of making
clear and concise statement, we have
taken the three items of cost of police de-
partment, fire department and municipal
salaries ana made a comparison of the
cost per annum for the year 1887 and the
year 1897 The following figures are taken
from the official reports OF The mayors for
the years named.

The city has spent a large sum Of
money for the purchase of rights of way
for streets, but at present there is little
if any street opening going on. To make
the money paid for rights of way a good
investment, the streets should be opened
and graded. so that lots may be bought,
owners may make Improvements upon
their property and the city may collect
taxes on the enhanced values. Every
day that this matter is neglected repre-
sents 50 much money lost to the city. The
fall and winter seasons, which Will soon
be here, are the seasons in which money
is made ana spent, and lois are bought
and houses built. The greater the num-
Der of streets open, the greater will be the
number of locations in which prospective
owners may look for lots to suit their
ideas, and the larger the stock from which
10 select the better are the probabilities
for increased sales. As a business propo-
sition, therefore, il is good policy for the
city to push the opening of new streets.
It might indeed. be wen enough to let
the grass grow on the edges Of the side
walks in some sections, and put the grass
cutting force to work at opening new
streets.
