1t is stated in the dispatches that the
Canadians favor Spain in the war that is
now in progress between that country and
the United States. In one dispatch
prominent lawyerof Montreal is quoted IS
saying that he hopes 1.-THE Spaniards will
lick the Yankees within an inch of their
lives" and that he speaks for the great
majority of the people of Canada
What's the matter with the Canadians?
We have never done them any harm ana
we are always careful not to tread too
hard on their toes. Are they jealous of
our prosperity? DO they hate us because
We refuse TO allow them to send their prod
ucts into our markets duty free?
We had been under the impression all
along that they felt very friendly toward
us, and would at least, give us their
sympathy if we should get into trouble. 1t
seems we were mistaken. They don't like
us for some reason or other and would
like nothing better than that Spain should
give us q good thrashing. They won't
be gratihed
We are glad TO know that Great Britain
does not share the feelings of her Cana
dian cub. The people of England are
holding out to US a friendly hand and they
openly say that they hope for our speedy
success. They understand that the part
Spain has been playing in Cuba has
shocked the whole civilized world and they
heartily commend our purpose TO bring
SPANS rule in Cuba to an end.
When the war is ended we may have
occasion TO prove to Canada that we treat
our friends better than our enemies, and
that it is better for her to be our friend
than TO harbor a desire to strike us when
we have trouble on our hands. There are
several things we could do that would
prove to the Canadians that our friend
ship is much more to be desired than our
| enmity.
If it be a fact that the Canadians are
al heart our enemies it is better thai
we should know it. In our future dealings
with them we shall know how mucl
weight to give to their professions Of
| friendship.

The statements in respect to Havana's
food supply differ widely. one statement
is that the rise in the prices of provisions
since the establishment of the blockade
has been such as to greatly alarm the
poor. and that the city will have to capt.
ulate within short time in order to pre-
vent the people from starving. Another
statement is that while the rise in the
prices of articles of food has been very
great Gen. Blanco had taken the precau-
ton to provide for blockade, and hence
the city will be able 10 hold out for several
months.
1t is impossible to say which of these
statements is the correct one. The fact
that all the provisions that were sent TO
Cuba for the reconcentrados has been
siezed by Gen. Blanco would seem 10 indi-
cate that the supply Of provisions is not
nearly as large as 1t has been represented
TO be.
There are reasons for thinking that it is
not the purpose of the government to try
and starve Havana into submission, but
that an army will be sent to Cuba to CO.
operate with the insurgents as soon as ar
engagements for doing so can be perfected.
Lieut.. Rowan was landed on the coast of
Cuba last Monday, his mission being to
visit the camp of Gen. Calixto Garcia and
arrange for harmonious action between
our troops and those of the insurgents.
Our dispatches this morning indicate that
the fleet is preparing the way for the land
ing of troops.
Gen. Blanco appears to 'have called the
most of the Spanish troops to Havana.
That being the case il would not be very
difficult matter, with the assistance of
the insurgents, 10 put large force on the
island,
If lieut.. Rowan finds that the insur-
gents can put a force in the field any
where near as large as has been represent
ed, the attempt to land troops and make
an assault on Havana by land may not
be delayed very long. Unless a Spanish
feet Should go to the aid of Gen. Blanco,
it is not probable that he could get the
troops to make very heroic defense of
Havana Seeing the hopelessness of the
contest they would feel more like surrend-
erlng than fighting.

The action of the executive committee
of the Democratic party of Baldwin coun-
ty in departing from the rules provided
for the government of the June primary
by the state executive committee, will not
have the approval of any considerable
number of the other counties-at least,
that is the opinion that we have formed
after watching the action OLA good many
of the other counties. The state executive
committee decided that in the primary
votes should be cast directly for the can
didates, and that the candidate having
majority, or a plurality, of the votes cast
in any county should have the delegates
to the state convention from that county.
The executive committee of Baldwin
county did not approve that rule and
decided that in that county il no one Of
the candidates received a majority of the
votes cast the delegation should be divid-
ed between the candidates in proportion TO
the number of votes each received.
1t is apparent that If the Baldwin county
rule We're adopted there would be a great
deal of confusion in the state convention,
because there would be disputes, in all
probability. in many of the counties as to
the number of delegates each of the can
dldates should have.
The rule adopted by the state COMMITTEES
is the safest one and ought to be adhered
TO. 1t is true that under it the candidate
chosen for the nomination might not re-
oeiveta majority Of all the votes cast, but
he would receive more votes than any one
of The other candidates, if the basis of
representation was a fair one
If Baldwin county insists upon the rule
ii has adopted for the guidance of it's prl-
mary, it may lose its vote in the state
Convention. That body is likely 10 be DOM
mated by the state committee. In that
event, 1t will insst. in all probability, that
only delegates shall be admitted to seats
| In the convention who can show that
they were elected at primaries which act
ed in accordance with the rules provided
by the state committee.
We are not prepared 10 say whether or
not the rules of the state committee were
adopted to benefit particular candidate
or whether or not the action of the Bald
win county committee was intended to
advance the interests of one candidate
more than another. Those are questions
for speculation. We are, however, quite
certain that the harmony of the state con.
vention will be promoted by complying
with the rules of the state executive COM

Fun with n NIouse.

Two young men had caught a mouse.
says the Chicago Journal. Business NOT
being very brisk, they tied a string around
one OF the rodents legs and proceeded TO
pass a quarter of an hour pleasantly.
Ihey were employed in the building at
the northeast corner of Wabash avenue
and Van Buren, street.
They suspended the mouse from a. second
story window, and soon a crowd of fifteen
or twenty men gathered below TO eniov
the sport. The mouse would be allowed tn
touch its tiny feet to the ground. Then
the minute it attempted to escape the
two young men would draw it up. This
particular form of amusement appealed
to the crowd, which for fully ten minutes
constantly grew. None offered to inter
fere
Finally young woman emerged from
the Steinway building, a few doors east
on Van Buren, street. She carried A roll
of music having just come from her
piano lesson. At a glance she seemed 10
comprehend the situation Her face as
sumed bright red color and. with a
look of indignation, she advanced to where
the mouse was suspended
Quickly opening the bag she carried at
her waist, she drew from it a small pair
of scissors, and. taking hold of the string
near the mouse, cut ii and gave the ami
NAL its freedom. She watched it run in
to a hole in the wall. Then she walked
away, still very red, but looking de-
fiant.
The men grinned sheepishly and asham-
ed at eacn other, and one by one skunk

Once More, the UnmaiIed Letter.

Here is a new story about the man who
forgot TO mail his wife's letter, says the
New Orleans ~Times-Democrat. The hero
is newspaper man, who Is connected
with one of the New Orleans dailies:
Something over two years ago, on a cold
winters day, his wife gave hira letter 10
mail. and he slipped il into his oyarcoat
pocket. 1t was addressed to a friend in
Los Angeles. Two weeks ago, during a
chilly snap he put on the overcoat, and in
the lining felt the long-lost missive. Con
science stricken, and without noticing the
dale or remembering when the latter had
been given him, he rushed off and posted
it. Il was when the reply came from .he
friend in Los Angeles that the secret was
out. The friend thought the writer must
have gone crazy. Il was glad to get your
letter." the friend replied, but what on
earth is the matter with you? You wrote
OF things that happened two years ago and
about nothing else"
il took some time to get matters

Greater New York's NTayor.

The statement is being circulated in New
York that Mr.. Var Wyck, Greater New
York's mayor, is so great a failure that
even Mr.. Croker is trying to find a way
10 get rid of him. He is said to be too
narrow for the place, having only PROVING
ial ideas, and to be totally lacking in ad-
ministrative ability. Tammany is said
to be tired of him and so are the heads
of all the departments.
But how to get rid of him is the cues
ton. One way that suggests itself is TO
make him judge of the Supreme Court.
The place would suit him and he would
accept IL. Next fall one of the Supreme
Court judges win retire. and Tammany.
il is said, viii nominate Mayor Van Wycl1
TO fill the vacancy.
Under the charter the President of the
Council, Alderman Guggenhelmer. would
become mayor. He is represented as be-
ing fitted for the place. being broad mind
ed and having great administrative abf-
lily.
1t is said that Mr.. Croker is very much
put out because he made such a mistake
in his estimate of Mr. Van Wyck. He
thought he would make a mayor New
York would be proud of.

The Governor. il seems is anxious TO
lead the Georgia troops in the war with
Spain. That is a very commendable am
blJion. No doubt he would make a brave
officer, and he might make an excellent
one in other respects.
1t is stated that he would like the posi-
ton of brfgadier general His position es
Governor entities him to ask for almost
anything in the military line the state
has any chance of getting.
He has been quoted as saying that he
is particularly anxious that the Georgia
volunteers shall be so well Differed that
their friends and relatives Will feel they
will not be unnecessarily exposed to the
dangers which are connected with war.
One Of the reasons he has given for want
ing TO accompany them is that he would
look carefully after their health and COM
fort while on the march and in camp
as we'll as see that they were properly led
when in battle. In saying all this we
have no doubt of the Governors sin
cerity.
But it is not probable that the state will
be given two brigadier generalships. She
win not be called upon to furnish enough
troops to justify two such appointments.
Col Gordon has not solicited the posi-
ton of brigadier-general. He has been
asked by Georgia's senior senator whether
he would accept such an appointment
if it were rendered to him, and he has
answered in the affirmative According
to our dispatches the entire Georgia dsle-
CATION In Congress favors the appoint
ment of Col. Gordon to a brigadier gem
eralship And why? Because they know
he is well qualified for the position. He
had experience great deal of expert
ence-as a solder in the war of secess-
ion, and ever since the close of that war
he has taken deep and active interest
in military matters and the militia. IL
can be said of him that he is a trained
soldier and is well qualified to command
a brigade.
We should like to see the Governor have
his ambition gratifed, but if it comes TO a
choice between him and Col. Gordon we
favor Col Gordon. We feel sure that
Col. Gordon is better fitted for the posi-
ton, having had far more experience.
If the state volunteers should be given a
chance to make a choice We are con-
fdent that they would sustain our judg-
ment in the matter.

Fee Bills in Tennessee.
From the Baltimore Sun Oem).

One years operation in Tennessee of
what is known as the Jarvis law has con-
WINGED the authorities that the state has
been losing over $4,000 a year in the mat
ter of costs in criminal cases, much of
which was ill-gotten gain to the recipients.
II is provided in the law that neither the
state nor any county be liable for costs
aud fees In criminal prosecutions, except
in the case of higher crimes, which are
mentioned, and then only to witnesses
residing more than five miles from the
place where the court Is held. Previous
to this enactment practice had grown
up IN some sections of the state OF bring
ing petty cases before justices of the
peace, which generally resulted in acqult'
tai. with the cost of the plaintifr's wit
nesses taxed to the state or county. The
costs to the state I'm criminal cases all
over the State during the year 1897 were
approximately $4,000. while the costs for
the year before were $4,000. a saving OF
nearly Is per cent. between the two years
though for a part OF the year 1897 the
jarvis law was not IN force, and for a
longer time the costs accruing under the
old systcm were not entirely paid on. The
comparison between the years 1896 and
1895 Is expected 20 be more striking.

Col. Garrard probably voiced the ra-
tional feeling in his talk to the Guards
the other night when he declared that he
was not interested so much in the Cubsns.
or the Cuban republic, or the reconcen-
trados. but he was interested in the case
of the Maine and desired to see that TN
fortunate ship properly avenged. The
Maine will be uppermost in the minds of
the Americans during the time they are
fighting the Spaniards. The Maine has
very small part in the picture as painted
by the diplomats, but the soldiers are go
ing to make it the chief object in the fore
ground. Remember the Maine is to be

to know that Gen. John NJ. Kell is to re-
main in the office of adjutant general. He
is well along in years. and his health is
not so robust as could be wished. hence
he cannot do a great deal of active serv
ace. Nevertheless, the people of Georgia
would like to regard him as the adjutant
general emeritus, for the remainder of his
life, if he cares to hold the office. h is

for his bravery and devotion, as well as
the dangers he has passed.
