The End in Sight.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The President
said this morning that he had received
an unofficial notification Of SPANS an
sWer to our peace terms and that he ex-
poets an official reply at any moment.
Upon the principles of this reply de-
pends the length of duration of hostili-
ties. Unless there be an absolute ac-
ceptancc it is likely that the war will 60
on until an agreement is made. In the
meantime the arrangements for making
inc the campaign in Cuba, Porto Rlco
and the Philippines effective are beng
rapidly pushed along.
President Mckinley and his Cablnc
acted very wisely in arranging the ncGo-
tiations. As matters now stand the IN
tied States is in position to dictate her
terms and force Spain to occcpt them at
once. Had they agreed to suspend nos
tilities while negotiations were IN pro-
gress Spain would have everything 10
gain and nothing TO lose in delaying inc
final conclusion, while in the meantime
they would doubtless have strengthened
their position in many ways and II 'hFy
did not agree to accept the u'''ma'u''
,be lieht could be resumed after the ar
mistice with the same existing circ"m-
stances as when it begun.
As it now stands the officials III M"",
rd are, watching day by day the graol"'
forced loss of her possessions anu 'nes
will be made to accept the terms VIII"
ont DELAY. This, at least, is the genera
oDjuion amongst official circles here
Tbe Gibraltcr correspondent OF the
London Daily News says that a eommis
sion will be appointed to determine 'n'
basis Of peace. The chief d'lllcu''S
;s asserted is, as to the date and manner
Of the evacuation of the Spanish pos
sessions.
There are understood to be sever"
o,.;ns made in the reply, but 1t Is no
exnected Ivy the Spanish govefni'e"
that ,bov will meet with any serious oo
lection at a.hington.
The treaty should there bc an agree
mont will not be signed before sep'e"
ber. r,,;
1t is probable that in Mckinley "'I a.,
n,.,um a stipulation was made as to til
length of time that would DC "''o" o,o
for spain's reply as such haste has "eve '' !,

IN. daily will carry Pullman Buffet
Sleeping Oar for St. Louis, reach.
ing the latter point at 7:24 p. IN. the
folio wing day.
This ear returning will leave st.
Louis at 1882 a. IN. arriving at New
Orleans az 1890 a. m. the following
day.
In addition to the above. the
train which leaves New Orleans at
ZOO a. M. daily has direct connec'
tion at Meridian with Mobile u

at 7:56 a. M, carrying sleeper from
Meridian 10 ST.. Louis.
The return train leaves st. Louis
at 7:39 p. m. daily. and arrives at

This is the only line running
sleeping car between New Orleans
anG ST. Louis without change.
AT ST. Louis connections are

We have never essayed the role

indulge the occult principle in fore
telling coming events as fOreshad-
owed in the appointment of Sulli-
van to the national senate. To our
mind it sounds the death knell OF
McLaurlnism in this state. II II
is an unpledged appointment, Sui
livan will be his own successor; II
there is in the bargain alleged OF
Sulliyan agreeing to get out OF
McLaurin's way in 1901 and run
for governor, then the people will

THE GIRLS COLLEGE.
Senator Hardy Suggests a Way to
Save the /. /. & g.

The Meridian Herald is respousi.
BILE for the following: Senator
Hardy says the |. 1. & O. need not
be closed. If the governor Will
call an extraordinary session OF
the legislature the members will
agree to serve Tor actual cost of
transportation and board.
There are 1873 members of the
house and 45 members Of the SEM
ate, 17S all told. For fourteen
days the per diem would amoust to
S3,115 at the rate of 1,75 per day
Three hundred dollars would cover
the contingent expenses OF the
session. This would make S3,4I5.
Add to this $1,000 for transporta-
ton and you have the grand total
cost CT the session OF $4,415.
For this sum the Legislature could
not only save the Columbus college,
but elect a United States senator.
The whole matter rests with the
governor TO call the session. Sen
ator Hardy is chairman of the SEN
ate finance committee, and he says
his committee would never report
favorably a bill to appropriate more
than enough money TO pay actual
Transportation aud board of the
members, and that he knows the
senate can be relied upon to en-
dorse the action of the committee.
II there is any doubt about it, the
mem bers of the legislature can be
polled very easily in advance upon
this all important question, and the
matter definitely settled as 60 the
cost of the session
To suspend the Girls College at

school, aud an irreparable wrong
upon the ghls of the state who
have been attending the school s:u
who are not able to complete their
education elsewhere. to say nothing
Of the injustice to those who con-
template attending that school.
Senator Hardy's suggestion is
timely and practicable, and if Gov,
McLaurin will call the legislature
together, there is 10 doubt but that
every member will be coutent with
actual transportation and board.

We clip the following paragraph
from the Plcayuue and hope every
man and boy in the county who
smokes the deadly cigarette will
read it, cut il out and paste it In
their hats:
"The doctors seem to be united
on the point that cigarette smoking
is responsible for most of the re-
jections of mllitismen who have
come up recently for examination
as applicants to enter the regular
army. They ought to have included
the cocktail habit aud lack of ex,
erclse. The three combined would
wreck Sandow in SIX mouths.
(Exchange.) The cigarette is given
too much credit for killing off
worthless people; for 1t really does
not take much power to make an
imbecile of a young man who never
had brains and was always lacking
in strength. They smoke, of
course; but they would amount to
nothing, all the same, if they did
not smoke.n
