Herman Schultz, who has just served
out his term of three years at the Wau-
pun prison for the crime of arson, was
taken to Milwaukee for examination by
physicians. For IS months he has not
spoken word, and nothing can induce
him to speak. Whether it is feigned or
real muteness the physicians will try
to find out. He is still held as pris-
oner. because he may be sent to an in
sane asylum if it be shown that his in
ability to speak is due to some mental
arrangement.

Suain's Homeless Position.

The destruction of Admiral Cervera's s fleet. root and torpedo branch, reduces spain's fighting navy to the battleship Pelayo and the cruiser Carlos V and few torpedo boats. That is all. That is not a navy, It is not even fleet. Spain practically has no navy. She cannot leave the shores of the peninsular. Her colonies are hopelessly detached, because we have ships galore, and she practically has none for any offensive or away-from- home ef- fort whatever.
 At home she has plenty of discomfort, plenty of trouble in recruiting her armies, plenty of difficulty in even issuing her own notes, and ip procuring supplies of any kind. She cannot buy new cruisers or new battleships. She cannot equip new armies. She is bankrupt, dependent wholly upon the taxes she can collect. New loans are out of reach. Political dissensions are in the air The Carlsts, the weylerites, even the socialists and republicans, are await

Filling the Treasury.

When Governor Johnston came into office was more revenue. Expenses could not be materially redueed the times were so hard that increased taxation would be se- verely felt, and so he urged the general as- sembly to do something toward compelling tax-shirkers to do their duty. The tax com mission acts, the result of his advice, have created a salutary revolution in the mon- etary affairs of the state, as the receipts at the treasury from all sources plainly show. In 1896 the receipts were $1,S47,25i; in 1897 they rose to sl ,s91 FPS, and on September % of the present year the auditor says they will aggregate $2 225 ,OOO Here is a gain in annual revenue of $235, 900 during Governor Johnston's term of office. A governor who extent is certainly a. governor worth keep ing.
 Nor will the states revenue stop at the present figures. Still more property will be put on the tax lists. The field is ample Only one-third of the property of the state is returned for taxation. Two-thirds of the ! visible property of the state shirks taxa tion altogether. Governor Johnston stands has instituted. Equality of taxation may not be possible, but an approximation to it is certainly desirable, especially when no man is or will be subjected to unjust or unfair taxation. No case of injustice or unfairness has arisen or will arise under the new tax laws. The injustice and un- fairness have heretofore been to those who did not try to evade taxation.
 The effect of increased revenue has been various and beneficial. The state can now borrow money at per cent, and the long loans could be refunded at 3h per cent which would alone effect saving of over s1OO,OOO year. Unfortunately, the states bonds are not now payable. These bonds are worth from no to 112, against 1O2 about two years ago. The balance in the treas- ury is rising handsomely year by year, and temporary loans have become unnecessary. The deficit of past years is steadily grow ing less; the credit CT the state IS steaoliy rising, although taxation remains at hve .~miiis and a half. Careful collection of the states revenue has been the remedy, and two more years of similar treatment prom ises to put the state on high financial level. There is an old adage that forbids the swapping of horses while crossing stream. and this adage is certainly applica- ble to Alabama while she is passing rom a period of deficits to period of balances and monetary ease.

LIFE ON A MONITOR.
Surgeon Eyer of the Amphitrite Writes to
 Friend.
From the Worcester Gazette.

From the Worcester Gazette.
 Surgeon H. G. Eyer, of the United States monitor Amphitrfte, writes an interesting letter to a friend in this city, dated Key West, June 26, in which he has the follow ing to say:
 Now, as regards the war and my being down here, facing Spanish forts and guns, this may seem to you all very poetical, but the grim reality is very proasic, I can as sure you. While would not now be else- where we all hope that the end may not now be very far off. The monitors, as you no doubt have read in the papers, are do- ing duty for which they were never intend- ed, consequently they are the least liked, and every one who can tries to get trans ferred. Living over boilers with the red- hot sun pouring down on you, with sea crop to live on and hot water to drink, is. to say the least. no picnic.
 I've will again go to Havana tomor- row, expecting to stay several weeks. The Amphftrite has to her credit more days at sea than two or three of the other moni- tors combined. We did fair work at San Juan, and the shells dropped all around us for about three hours. That not one hit us is little short of miraculous. had one man die during the action from heat.
 ''The reason why we are not at Santiago today Is that the Oregon and New Orleans, With the Flying Squadron, seem enough. Blockading is dull duty and I wish for more active duty at Santiago
 Monitors wear men out at a great rate. I pity especially the poor eoalheavers and firemen. I heard one of the men saying to another the other day:
 Say, Mike, I am going to change my profession
 I am going to take to shoveling snow.
 "How they all stick to their work is cer- talnly more to be wondered at every day. I believe bravery and courage on the part of Americans is more common than among any nation in the world. The Yosemite, with the Michigan militia, has as many millonaires on her as are in the New York Yacht club. Men cleaning out spitoons are independently rich, The captains two mes senger boys on the Yosemite have each $50 900 year.

 today as they ever can be. The triunl- phant American flag floats in Cuba, in the Ladrone islands, and in the Philippines. It will soon be supreme at Porto Rico. Spain is utterly and wholly unable to de- fend or even suecor any one of her colonies. Even the canaries and the Balaeric isles will become American as soon as an Ameri- can fleet shall be dispatched to them. Her own. coast cities and her commerce will next be threatened.
 Under such circumstances it seems in- credible that Spanish pride and Spanish honor will demand a prolon8ation of a hopeless struggle-of a warfare that will bring only additional loss, additional de- mands of indemnity, additional humilia- ton. It seems incredible that the French holders of Spanish bonds do not unite for the purpose of saving through terms of peace something from the wrecked affairs of Spain. It seems incredible that the pope, clear-headed and sagacous, does not see that Spain is outclassed in this war. It seems incredible that the Austrian emperor does not try to save the dynasty before popular uprising in Spain sweeps it away, both mother and son. For Spain's good and the worlds good, even for Americas good, the war should be ended this very day. Continuance of the strug- gle subserves no useful purpose. From this time on it is criminal on Spains part to fight. Mere stubbernness. mere pride, is in war criminal. If man be killed as a result, it is murder, not war. When a na- ton is whipped. when a nations fight be- comes wholly hopeless that nation has lost the moral right of belligerent. That is Spain's position today. Her side of the case went down with her ships.

Impure Flour in Alabama.

And it is about the only way that 1t can at present be secured.
 Scarcely any of the flour ground in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Tennessee or Kentucky is pure flour, and none bearing Atlanta or Nashville brands is free from adulteration of the most dangerous nature. All of the very white flour sold in the south is adulterated four. At least ninety per cent. of the flour sold in Alabama is dis honest f1our-four that contains indigesti- ble, and therefore deleterious matter.
 The new revenue law is now in force and sale of flour without brands showing what 1t does contain becomes an offense against the United States. and whoever handles such flour as a dealer becomes subject to heavy penalties. The people demand the strict enforcement of the new provisions The punishment of the mixers" located in Nashville and Atlanta Is especially desired. The dishonest millers of the northwest khould be visited with the full weight of the law.
 But the lay can not be put in operation at pnee. and in'the meanwhile the people of Gadsden can at least procure pure flour by going to their own mills.

All Are One.

In another column will be found a graphic and picturesques description of the charge of the Rough Riders and Tenth cavalry, composed of negro troops. in the battle of San Juan, near Santiago, last Friday. The display of bravery and dash on the part of these men is unequaled in the worlds s history. Indeed, it would seem from the military and naval operations around San- tiago during the past months that Iev- cry American citizen of whatever class. color or condition has demonstrated spirit of dashing bravery which stands in bold relief over anything that has occurred in modern or ancient warfare. In this charge were social leaders of New York's '400," champion amateur foot balists of Harvard and Yale, cowboys of the plain, toughs of the western frontier towns and negroes born and reared on plantations of the south who enlisted with the United States regu- lars. Each and every one deserves equally full credit. They have demonstrated that from whatever type class they come Americans are all brave and patriotic. and when it comes to defending the American flag are all one.
