Facts for our Aldermen.

A feature of the municipal campaign in
Atlanta Is the demand that a Mayor and
aldermen shall be elected who will intro
duce economy into the administration of
the city government. It is claimed that
municipal government in that city. costs
more than in any other city of It's size in
the world, and the facts appear to bear
Out the claim. The police costs Sl35, 2S7. So.
the fire department $l059H.SS, and city
lighting $64 ,374.7O. The Constitution quotes
the cost Of these three departments in
some other cities of Atlanta's class. and
we reproduce the figures to show that
there is room for economy in this city.
The city of Memphis, which has a
population of over 100000 pays for police
$50 900, for fire protection $4,000, and for
city lighting $4,000 The city of Des
Mones la, which has a population of
5000 pays for police $S5 900, for fire pro-
lection $4S 600, and for city lighting $1,000.
We do not know how good police and
fire protection Des Moines has, but if 1t
is first-class it would pay this city to send
a commission there TO find out now she
does it,, She has a considerably larger
population than this city and yet 1t cost
her only a little more than half as much
for police and fire protection as it costs
this city. Even Memphis with over 100 900
population, spends only a little more than
this city does for fire and police protec-
ton.
Our city government costs too much
money The tax rate is altogether TOO
high. Such high rate hurts the city.
The reform that we want is a much lower
tax rate. Let our city fathers find out
how Memphis and Des Moines get along
so cheaply.

BewiIdering Human Nature.

To tell the truth is TO save time. A lie

be told to bolster up the first one.
Women are irrational in that they either
adore or "detest" a man. Men, on the
other hand, regard women, with possibly
one or two exceptions, as mere things.

congressman who is to be blamed for the
Jack OF smokeless powder for the use of
the army and the navy. The congressman
quoted were able, to their own satisfac-

degenerate Spain, is far ahead Of the
United States in this matter, and Congress
has frequently been appealed to for ap-
propriatons for the manufacture of
smokeless powder. The cold truth of tine
matter probably is that there was no poll
tics in smokeless powder, that no votes
could have been gained by smokeless
powder appropriations, and hence the ma
jority Of our fighters are without it. Had
the carrying Of a congressional district or
two depended upon the character of the
powder used in the navy or army, The
very best kind in the world would long
ago have been supplied.

The Song of the Great Gun.

From the New York Sun.
Oh! I am the joy of America, and the ma
TONS greatest pride
From my polished throat the blue smoke
rings float across the ocean tide;
L deride the foreign foeman bold. whose
deeds of might in song are told.
Across the mighty sea-
For know the hands that fashioned me
and the furnaces raging throat
From whose NAV I came, mid the smoke
and flame, tempered Well my shining
coat
And loyal. smoking, flaming heart, whose
joy is but to rend apart
The ships that sail the seal
Oh! my throat is thirteen inches wide and
the long and tapering shell
Which l belch forth free when the foe I
see, shrieks shrill and awful knell
For any foreign man-o'war whose grin
ming guns like dogs of war
Are trailing DER the sea;
And I know the hands which fashioned
me, whose workmanship l bear
Which so skilled and true from the hot
force drew the glowing steel 1 wear.
1 have brothers noble, true and brave.
whose glory is DER ocean wave
With me to guard the sea!
How from after rail to stronger steel brow
I can shake the ship with my roar,
And the shell-bright fash and the splint'-
ring crash as my shot drive home
ashore
Make Spanish gunners flee in fright, while
l am ruler in my might;
I, lion of the sea!
And show the gunners serving me, whose
mandates l obey
Are swift and strong, and their CHEEKY
song is heard over every bay
Where hideous battles revelry hath given
me the victory;
Me, monarch of the sea!
When in times of peace and quiet I am
left in the turret STILL
And the women peep at my form asleep,
and chatter and gaze their fill.
With ne'er a thought of the deafeuing
roar that warmed my heart in the
days of yore
While l ruled DER the sea;
But know that I've done my duty wen,
mid the scenes of strife and blood,
Where the flaming cloud of the combat
loud gleam'd like Sinai's threatening
hood,
And every time I spoke my breath bore
anguish, groanings, grief and DEATH
While 1 watched DER the sea

Private John Aliens Excuse,

Congressman John Allen of Mississippi
would rather tell a story than write a
letter. The shrewd, kindly natured, but
too neglectful, representative isn't as at
tentive to his correspondence as becomes
member of Congress, says the St. Louis
Globe-DemOcrat. His fault in this respect
is source of regret to his friends. 1t is
only by his delightful mixing with his
people after he returns home that Mr..
Allen makes amends and secures forgive
ness for his unfamiliarity as a CORE
spOndent. There are those who believe
that if Mr. Allen had cultivated the poll
ticians and people with his typewriter as
assiduously as other statesmen are wont
TO do, he might have attained a seat in
the United States Senate before this time
Edward L. Russell, president of the Mo
bile and Ohio Railroad, had a recent ex-
perience with Mr.. Aliens readiness in
aVertng the evil consequences of his dis
inclination 10 touch a pen. Mr. Russell
and Mir. Allen have seen each other climb
TO national regulations, one in railroad
management the other In politics. Sew
eral months ago MIR. Russell was elected
to the presidency of the road, with which
he had been connected for quarter of a
century or more. He came on to Wash
ington later, and meeting Mr.. Allen, he
said, with touch of reproach in his tone;
John, 1 received, l suppose, 500 tele-
grams and letters of congratulation upon
my recent promotion. l can't find anv
among them from you"
NO, Edward" said Mr.. Allen. ref1ec-
lively, II didn't send any. 1 was wait
ing TO see if you accepted And then 7
was going to congratulate che company. -

What IA DiHerence!

The whole civilized world is commenting
on the difference in the conduct of the
crew of the steamer Delaware, which was
discovered on fire off the coast of New
| Jersey, and was totally destroyed and
| that of the crew of the steamer Bour-
gogne, which was wrecked by a collision
off the coast of Newfoundland. The Della
ware was an American ship and had an
! American crew, the Bourgogne was a
| French ship and had a French crew On
the American ship perfect order prevailed
when il became known that the fire
| could not be controlled and that the pas
! sengers and crew would have to take to
| the boats and life RATS. Not life was
! lost. There was no panic. The women and
| children were placed in the boats first
then followed the crew and their officers
How different was The condition of affairs
on the French ship! There was a panic
from the moment that the collision oc-
| Cured The crew acted like manlacs. OF
the very large number of women on board
only one was saved. and she received no
assistance from officers and crew. Not
ono of the hrst-class passengers was
saved. OF the passengers more than two
thirds were lost.
These two disasters clearly demonstrate
that American seamen are vastly superior
to those of France. 1t is safe to say they
are superior to those of every other ma
ton, with the exception, probably, of
England.
In view of this fact, is it not remarkable
that nearly all the commerce of this great
country is carried in foreign bottoms. and
nearly all the ocean passenger traffic is
done in ships carrying foreign flags?
American ships, with American officers
and crews, are now in great favor with the
ocean travelling public. If there were
enough Of them they would do pretty
nearly all the first-class passenger bust
ness between this country and Europe.
Why shouldn't there be enough of them?
Why shouldn't we do pretty nearly all of
our own carrying trade? We can build
better ships than can be built elsewhere
in the world, and we can build them for
less money. We have the material for
frst-class seamen. In fact, we have every
thing necessary to make US the great
maritime nation of The world. Let us re-
peal our antiquated and obstructive navi-
cation laws and give more attention to
ship building In the course of a few
years We should be doing a big part of
the ocean carrying business OF the world.
and hundreds of millions of dollars which
now go into the pockets of foreigners for
carrying our products to other shores and
bringing to us what our markets require
would be kept at home. We should be-
come masters of the sea and prosperous

Congressman Cannon of Illinois is Of
the opinion that the war will be worth
all that 1t costs to the American people.
Il believe" says he, that this war will
be succeeded by another era of good feel
ing such as that which followed the war
of 1872 in Monroe's time. The first re-
quisite to an era of good feeling is gen
eral prosperity" In order that there
may be an era Of general prosperity,
there must be a reduction Of the oppress-
i've taxes which have been saddled upon
the people by the Republican party.
WIN Mr.. Cannon and his party aid ma
tional prosperity by wiping out unequal
protective taxation as it exists in the
Dingley law?

If there were any possibility of Spain's
winning even one temporary advantage
In the fighting with the United States.
there might be some sense in Sagasta's
government prolonging the struggle for a
time. But Spain is beaten, and from ev-
cry encounter she will emerge worse beat
en-. In view of this fact, which even sa-
gasta ought to be level headed enough to
recognize 1t is criminal for the Spanish
government to continue to send conscript-
ed and unwilling soldiers and sailors to
the front to be food for American shot
and shell.

Commodore watson's Mission.


There is by no means a general cbnsen-
sus of opinion mat II would be advisable
to send a fleet to the Spanish coast to
| lombard Spanish ports and destroy Adj
miral Camara's squadron. There is much
TO be said on both sides of the question.
| The appearance of an American squadron
of battleships and cruisers off the coast
| of Spain would undoubtedly produce a
profound impression upon the Spanish
people, and would arouse them 10 the ne
cessity for suing for peace at an early a
day as possible, but II our squadron should
not lie able 70 accomplish anything, or If
it should meet with a disaster. that i'm
preston might wear away and be sue
ceeded by a stronger feeling of defiance
than has existed at any time since The
war began.
Ii is hardly probable that Admiral Ca
mara's squadron would come out into the
sea and engage in bate with Admiral
Watson's squadron. He would have too
much discretion to do that. His squadron
is not nearly The equal Of chat which was
so quickly destroyed at Santiago. He
would, therefore, remain in some one of
the strongly fortified Spanish ports, and
depend upon land batteries to protect his
ships.
While it is true that the Notifications
of most of the Spanish coast cities are out
of date, the guns of some of them are
among the best and most effective in the
world Therefore, if Commodore Watson
should attempt to pass fortifcaUons in
order TO reach Admiral Camara's squad
ron he would run a great risk of having
his ships badly damaged.
OF course, in war risks must be taken,
but the question is, can as much head
way towards bringing the war to an end
be gained by sending squadron to Spain
as there can by taking. Porto Rico and be-
ginning operations against Havana? There
Is nothing now TO fear from SPANS navy.
There is no danger that she VIII attempt
to send another squadron to Cuba. Ad-
miral Camaras squadron, therefore is
about as useless for the purposes of this
war as if 1t did not exist.
The battle of Manila threatens to in
volve us in complications with one or more
Of the Powers of Europe. Might not the
sending of a squadron to the coast of
Spain also have the effect of intensfyng
the hostility of continental Europe TO us?
1t Is worthy Of notice that France takes
the position that if we destroy Admiral
Camara's fleet there is nothing in the way
of our taking possession of Ceuta and the
Canaries, and that we would likely turn
them over to England in exchange for the
Bermudas. Such an exchange would be
very much against the interests of France.
Goodwin Smith also raises the point that
If we go to Europe TO carry on the war
against Spain we practically abandon the
Monroe doctrine.
There are many things to be taken into
consideration in connection with the pro-
posed expedition of Commodore Watson 10
Spain, some of which lead to the conclu-
sion that the wiser thing to do is to con-
fine the war to this side of the Atlantic.
