The Suez canal is eighty-seven miles
long. It is a tide-water canal, without
locks. 1t is lighted at night by electricity,
and can be navigated by ships drawing
twenty-slx feet. The speed of vessels go
ing through the canal is limited to six
miles an hour. though a higher speed is
permitted in the lakes which form a part
of the connection between seas. The aver
age time of passage is from sixteen to
twenty hours. Admiral Gamara's squad
ron will probably move at the slower rate
Of speed. After the Spanish fleet shall
have emerged from the canal it will still
be 200 miles further from Manila than
the distance from San Francisco to Man
LA.

A Story of 1" Ham /" Fish,

l was going uptown In a Sixth avenue
car one afternoon and Fish got aboard at
Thirty-fourth street, says a writer in the
Pittsburg Dispatch. The car was crowded,
and many men were standing. Next to
young Ham was man almost as tail
as be and much heavier. In front of him
was seated a stylishly dressed, handsome
woman She was obviously annoyed about
something, fact which was apparent TO
those close to her. Very much to the SUI
prise Of everybody liam" showed up clos
er to the man and said, in a low but audi
bic one, You ought to be lickedr'
Whats the matter with your" was the
reioinder.
Get off the car and I'll tell you," replied
Fish
"It's all right, young man. Please don't
quarrel on my account" interposed the
lady.
BY this time there was commotion in
the car. The conductor elbowed his way up
to where the discussion was going on and
inquired the cause of the disturbance.
This cur has insulted the lady there, -
said Fish, now apparently thoroughly an
cry, and he's got to get off this car right
now"
With that he grabbed the fellow by the
collar with both hands and literally dragg-
ed him to the platform. The conductor
pulled the bell cord and the car came to
a standstill just as Fish threw the man
violently into the street and jumped off
after him. A crowd quickly gathered and
as Fish was explaining the matter to those
around him his antagonist, who had re-
gained his feet and his composure, aimed
a savage blow at Fishs face. The young
man neatly lodged, and in an instant his
arm shot out and the fellow was sent
SPRAYING to the ground Fish was ar
rested, but was soon released on bail. The
next morning in Jefferson Market Police
Court he was promptly discharged and the
other fellow received a severe lecture from
the magistrate.
This is but one incident In the career of
young Ham," but the records of the po-
lice courts of New York contain many of a
similar character.

Gen. Joseph Wheeler did not resign his
seat in Congress when he accepted posi-
ton in the army. The Attorney General of
the United States ruled some time ago
that there was nothing in the law which
prevented an officer holding a commission
in the volunteer army from holding at the
same time a civil office. The Attorney
General of Alabama, however, has held
just the other way; that Gen. Wheeler
lost his place in the House by accepting
the army appointment, and that therefore
his seat is vacant. An election to fill the
vacancy will be held in August.

The picture presented in our dispatches
yesterday, showing the Cuban soldiers
near Santiago sitting in the shade smok-
ing cigarettes after having satisfied their
hunger at Uncle Sans expense, while
our soldiers were repairing roads and
bridges in the broiling sun and bringing
the artillery from the transports to the
halls overlooking the enemy's position, is
not calculated to give the American peo-
pie an exalted idea of the patriotism of
the Cuban insurgents. 1t would not be
at all surprising if our soldiers felt, under
the circumstances, that the people they
were assisting were not worth making
sacrifices for.
And the picture was one which, after
all, is calculated to make one wonder
whether the insurgents understand what
the men who are risking their lives on
Cuban soil are doing for them and whether
they will appreciate the service the Amer
lean people have rendered them when the
Spaniards shall have been driven from
Cuba.
The insurgent soldiers who sat in the
shade and enjoyed their cigarettes while
our soldiers toiled in the broiling sun are
natives of Cuba, and are therefore much
better able to stand the Cuban climate
than our soldiers are, and they should
have been quick to offer their SER
vices in mending the highways so that
our heavy guns could be placed in posi-
ton to be used against the enemy. In
deed, they should have done the greater
part of that work. They could have done
it much more easily than our soldiers did
because, If reports are correct, the most
of them are from the classes of people
which depend upon manual labor for a
living. But they did not offer to assist
although the hard work our soldiers was
doing was for the cause of the insur-
gents.
What is to be thought of such patriots
as these Cuban soldiers are showing them
selves to be? Do they know what patriot
ism is? We are forced 10 ask these cues.
tions because of their indifference appar-
entity to the hardships endured by our SOL
diers in their behalf-their failure to helm
bear the burdens of the campaign for
Cubas freedom.
For the last three years we have been
called on time and again by the friends
of Euba to admire the courage and hero
ism Of the insurgents in struggling to re,
lease their beautiful island from the yoke
of Spain. They were pictured as being
ragged and hungry and enduring all sorts
of dreadful hardships, and as being as
determined as ever TO win their freedom
or die in the attempt; and yet when the
time comes for them to stand shoulder To
shoulder with our soldiers, who are fight
ing for their cause. they prefer to sit
in the shade and smoke cigarettes while
our soldiers are doing all the laborious
work of the campaign. 1t will not be
strange If The American soldiers lose what
little enthusiasm they have for the Cuban
cause and what sympathy they have for
the Cuban insurgents. 1t is not TO be Won
dered at that those who are acquainted
with the situation in Cuba insist thar
the insurgents shall not be permitted TO
have control of the political affairs of the
island. They would destroy what remains
of the improvements of the island

The insurgents in Cuba have never been
recognized by Spain or this government as
belligerents. The forces of the United
States are now acting in conjunction with
the insurgents in Cuba. La Lucia Of Ha-
vana makes this the basis of an argument
against recognizing the rules of civilized
warfare in connection with the American
Invaders. In short, the Havana paper
argues that by combining with the insur-
gents, whom we do not ourselves recog-
nize' we place ourselves upon precisely
the same footing with them.

The Bankruptcy Bill.
From the New York Times Dem,

The bankruptcy bill which has now been
agreed to by both houses of Congress is
valuable mainly because it is step in the
right direction, though It cannot be ac-
cepted as a very long step. The condi-
tons for release from indebtedness are
not, in our judgment, sufficiently strict.
but at least there are conditions. There
is only one tustifabie end for any bank
ruptcy legislation. and that is the release
of honest insolvents, and since such re-
lease is practically the Intervention of the
supreme law-making power TO impair the
obligation of contracts, il is entirely fair
that he who is TO benefit by such interven-
ton shall be required 10 show a clear rec
cord before he can get his discharge. This
is not at all a difficult thing for any hon
est dealer TO do. The new law fails far
short of this requirement but inasmuch
as it goes little way toward it, it is to
be welcomed.

There will probably be more wheat gar
nered IN Georgia this season than has been
the case in very long time, If ever be-
fore. Farmers in the northern part of the
state planted an increased acreage of
wheat and other cereals last season, and
We're so well pleased with the result that
they will plant considerably more this year.
In Milton, Cobb, Cherokee and adjoining
counties there will be large wheat acre
ages. If these counties viii just keep plant
inG wheat for a few years, they viii find
that hundreds Of thousands of dollars
which they send away for flour VIII stay

From the Atlanta Constitution (DemO
A state system of quarantine need not
conflict with a national system; it would
be a local affair, while a national sys-

downright follies and barbarous practices

to convince the public that an interstate

only rational method of preventing cpl

that many people search for the
