GENERAL WEYLER was a military
attache of Spain at Washington DUNG
the war between the States, served
with General Sheridan in the Valley of
Virginia and had great admiration
for General Sherman for his march
through Georgia. He was good
pupil and evidently got his ideas con-
corning the practice of war from the
two distinguished federal generals re-
ferred to. But those who favored that
practice when Southern Christian
white people were the sufferers, now,
when negroes and scalawags are it's
victims, denounce it as barbarOus.

A Spanish spy has certainly been
at work in the armory of the Ander-
son Guards, at this place. A careful
inspection of the guns show that
seventeen of them are broken and
unfit for service. This puts the
country in mighty bad shape, and
doubtless will cause the authorities at
Washington to sue for peace at once
and at any cost.

The action Of the House increasing
the number of torpedo boats and
torpedo boat destroyers provided for
in the regular appropriation bill from
six of each to twelve of each is
generally commended, although no
one has any idea that they can be
built in time to take any part in war
with Spain. 1t is simply that the
existing situation has convinced
nearly everybody of the necessity of
our being always prepared to defend
ourselves against possible foreign
enemy.
REPRESENTATIVE Dorimer, of Illinois,
voiced the sentiment of many in
Congress and of thousands outside of
Congress when he said "Spanish rule
in Cuba has been a menace TO our
commerce and peace ever since the
foundation of this Government, and
the time has now come to drive the
Spanish flag and every yestige of
Spanish power from our shores"
The war talk has drowned out the
annexation of Hawaii, but it has been
definitely decided by the administra
ton as soon as actual hostiities are
begun to hoist the American flag
over Hawaii, and to use it as naval
upply station for the Pacific, re-
gardless of whether Congress acts
upon the joint resolution providing
for annexation or not.
The Bill intended to encourage
veteran soldiers to volunteer with
the war with Spain, by providing
enlistment in either army or navy
will not stop pensions now being
drawn by those who enlist, was
amended before being favorably re-
ported to the House so as to provide
that all ex-Confederates who shall
hereafter serve ninety days in either
army or navy of the [. S. shall be
entitled to all the benefits of the pen
sion act of June 81, 1890, if after
said service they are shown to be
unable to perform manual labor and
to be dependent thereon for support.

when Sheridan and Weyler devastat-

Is there any sensible person who
believes that the jingoes Of Congress
would be crying for war, if England
occupied the position that Spain oc-
cupies today? They would then be
trembling in their shoes and would
rush over each other in order to
adopt cringing resolutions such as
those introduced when the army was
hurled back from Manassas.

Africana and Work.

AIi hard labor. ell rough and u1. skilled labor, is, and owing to tho heat af the climate must be. done by blacEs, and in q new country like Matabeleland the blacks, though they can sometimes be induced to till the land, are most averse to working underground. They are only beginning to use money, and thev do not want the things which money buys. The wants of a native llys ing with his tribe and cultiyating mealg ies or KafIir corn are confined to a baroas tskin cloak or some pieces of cotton. The prospect of leaving his tribe to gs and work in a mine in order that he may earn wages wherewith he can buy things that he has no use for does not at once appeal to nin.
 The white men, anxious to get to work on the gold reefs, are annoyed at what they call the stupidity and lazl- ness of the native and usually clamoI for legislation to compel the natives tc come and work, adding. of course, that regular labor would be the best thing for the natives. =" Impressions of South Africa by James Bryce

Hood s position iE literature has been affected by the circumstance that be did two things excellentIy which in the general view are incompatible, IL which case popular opinion generally fixes on the inferior gift as representing the writer real capacity. He was a funny man as we'll as lyric poet of real quality and earnest aims and 6as so admirable and original in the former and more abundant character that it probably caused many to regard the serious verse as merely an ambitions bid for a reputation it was not in the writer's power to achieve. Hood doubt. less helped to strengthen this impress sion by practically ceasing to produce serious poetry for some 15 years Of bis short life.

 Treaty..

Washington, Dec. 3.-While it is be- ginning to De recognized that the chances are against the conclusion Of the work of the peace commissioners in Paris in time for the Americans to ta Ae the steamer of the 10th for home, odi- cials are not discouraged at the outlook, knowing that the delay in the proceed ings Of the commission admits Os rea- sonable explanation. There has been some difficulty in reaching an agree ment as to the disposition Of the prop erty in the Philippines, includ ng war material, guns and stores. l. will not be necessary, 1t is hoped, tc send joint evacuation commission to Manila. as was done in the evacuation Of Porto Rico, but simply to adopt plan laid down by the Porto Rican commission. It is surmised that the American com missicners have been much more con- csrned by the Spanish overtures look
 ing to the allowance Of exceptional ad- vantages for Spanish commerce with Cuba and Porto Rico than about other matters of negotiation which really seemed to be Of larger importance. The explanation of this is the realization Of the commissioners that any agre ment on their part to concede to tls cOmmer- cial classes of the United States will but bring upon the United States gov ernment a series Of demands from the great commercial nations Of the world.
