VOLUNTEERS TO DANCE.
VIII Hold Their Annual Bali Next
Week.

The annual bali of the German Volun-
teers viii be held at the Odd Fellows hall
on the night of Jan. 10.
Contrary to the custom that has been
observed by the Volunteers for more than
fifty years, they will not celebrate their
anniversary on Jan. by public parade.
This was determined upon at a recent
meeting of the company, when a change
in the bylaws was adopted for the dis
continuance of the custom.
This will be the first anniversary on
which the Volunteers have missed holding
their commemorative parade since the or
ganization in 1876. Shortly after the organ
ization, it was understood that the pa
rades would not be continued after the
celebration of the fiftieth anniversary

A MEETING.

1t was on Sunday night that Will
liams met Miss Nary johnson, aged
three, forsaken, and softly weeping in
corner Of the park. He took his cour-
age in his hands, and led her to . garden
seat. Having advanced thus far out OF
the difficulty. he paused. Mary dried
the tears in her Irish-blue eyes. and the
two regarded one another.
"Well," eaid Williams presently in
highly courageous voice. This discon-
certed his companion. who dropped her
eyelids, and looked quickly at her boots.
He hesitsted q moment, eying her little,
dropping head with depreciation, then
he went on, more moderately:
Rather meant to say-Oh. ye gods.
how does one talk to baby?"
The gods in this case failed to answer.
However, Williams went on in subdued
resigned sort Of way.
IL am lawyer. and my names Will
liame. This is-ah-not in my hne-I
regret to say. II anyone wished to offer
q suggestion, 1 should not be offended"
Miss Mary did not respond to this
hint. She scanned his face wondering
ly. Gradually an exquisite smile dawn
ed in her eyes. and she edged closer to
him. Williams flushed.
-Since you do me the honor of trus.-
ing me- he said, concealing his en-
barrassment, suppose we dine"
He rose, and handed her down from
the bench. She could not reach his
arm, 80 she clasped his thumb. In this
manner they proceeded to nearby res
taurant. Williams expression, particu-
la-ly about the eyes, was naughty, but
Mary's face. as che trotted rapidly by
his side, remained nothing less than
bli.sful
Throughout dinner the child was
wontedly silent Two serious eyes, and
a tangle of red curls were all that ap-
peared above the cloth. Williams re-
garded them benevolently. while he die
tated the menu.
She nibbled dainty a. the oysters.
She avoided the glase, but Of the milk
she drank great draughts, and called for
more.
Williams warmed under the influence
Of glass Of sherry.
"Does 90 have a bow. WOW at homer
he inquired, striving to make himself
agreeable.
"Phwat?"
"Have you got dog?"
"Yie," she replied gently.
When they came again upon the pave
ment, the street lamps we're burning, the
wind blew savagely, and the streets
looked empty. Mary shivered little,
holding tightly to Williams thumb, and
raised to his her dependent eyes.
where's mamma?" che asked.
"Oh. the devil?" groaned Williams.

The School Question,

The democratic party in it's platform de- mands increased appropriations for the common schools of the state and Cover nor Johnston frankly says that money is the thing most needed. The system needs, as he said at Tuscumbia, amendments the committee of 'thirtythree will suggest many changes, all doubtless desirable; but, after all, there must be more money ap- propriated if the educational system of the state is to be materially improved-if, to use Governor Johnston's own words, "every child in Alabama" is to have an education.
 The best manner of securing a satisfac- tory appropriation for the common schools of the state is the problem before the people. Governor Johnston favors an attempt to secure the needed money without an increase of the tax rate He urges every friend of better schools to aid the tax officials, to the end that all property in the state may be listed. If the actual values of the state could be made taxable values-if, in other words, tax shirking could be abolished, the appropria- tion for the common schools could be car ried to million dollars without an in- crease in the tax rate. But tax-shirking is an old and chronic trouble, and it cannot be overcome at once.
 Neither the party nor Governor John- cton iS bowever committed to 4b;, ,,lo, The democratic leader said at Tus Aumba: "If the people are willing to submit to in- creased taxation, we can make immediate and healthful progress.

The Naval Battle Off Santiaqo.

great victory has been again won at sea without material damage to our ships or great loss among our men. One man Was killed by hostile ship. Such a victory confirms the victory in Manila bay, in showing that there is something inefficient men agree in saying enough shots were fired in Manila bay from both the forts and the ships to have done great damage if they had been fired with accuracy and skill. The ships of Admiral Cervera's squadron kept up a constant fire, too, but no appreciable damage resulted. The world may never know why the Spanish guns were ineffective, but it is more than probable that training in gunnery has been neglected in the Spanish navy.
 The effects of the American guns, even at long range, and under full heads of steam during the chase are attested by eye-wltnesses. MT. Hearst of the New York Journal visited the wrecked Oquendo, Maria Teresa and Vizcaya and he de- scrbes the great gaps and rents made in them by American guns. It should be remembered that these cruisers were ar mored, of modern construction ranking high in every respect. There were no such vessels in Montejo's fleet. And yet these vessels were as quickly crippled and driven to destruction by American guns as were the less strong ships in Manila bay by Admiral Deweys decisive action.
 The Christobal Colon alone escaped vital injury. She was struck several times. but the Associated Press account of the battle shows that she was not seriously damaged when she was beached. Her capture was due to clever maneuver of Commodore Schley, by which he took the shorter course, thus heading the Colon after a chase of sixty miles. He sailed due west to Cape Caney, while the Colon took a more southerly direction. The difference In distance was in Commodore Schley's favor, and the Colon thereupon was beached and hauled down her flag. Wreck ing boats have been sent to her, and they may be able, if the sea be merciful, to save her for use in the American navy. The ship formerly beiapged to the Italian

other three cruisrs cannot be restored to usefulness.
 Too much credit cannot be awarded the fleet that destroyed or captured these formidable vessels, thereby practically ob- literating Spains navy. Quickness of ac- ton, good judgment in sailing and good result. Sampson and Schley played well their parts, and when the story is re- hearsed in ages yet unborn the intrepid work of the little Gloucester will not be forgotten. It was glorious victory.

EnIistinq Negro Troops.

There are some indications that the war may be suddenly ended but if it is not if an arduous campaign must be carried on against Havana, it is conceded in Washing ton that the war department will ask con- gress to authorize the president to enlist 25.00O negro soldiers for the volunteer army. The number may be increased to 50,OOo men. The president cannot do this without spe- cifc authority from congress. He can now call for troops from the several states and territories, but he cannot directly enlist volunteers from the country at large under present legislation.
 The object of this movement is two-fold In the first place. it is believed the negroes of the southern states can stand the heat of Cuba better than white men can. It is known that there have been many heat prostratons in General Shafter's army. All have suffered severely from heat in the present Santiago campaign. If colored men can endure the climate of Havana or Por- to Rico without a high percentage of heat prOStratOnS, the gain WOulu De coHSluei a- ble. It Is believed they can.
 But the real propelling force behind the proposition is racial and political. The negroes think they have not had fair op portunity to win a share of the glories of The war, and they demand such an oppor- tunity at the hands of the administration. The troops called for will be officered by the government directly-really by the re- publican politicians in the several states. means colored regiments led by colored re- publican politicians. Outside of one regi- ment in Virginia and one in North Carolina, ambitious negroes have not had chance to wear shoulder straps, and the showy clothes of official army rank The chief and real object of the proposed bill is to meet this want and give 1t scope The ne- groes are here ready to enlist, and there Are plenty of negro politicians ready to see that they do enlist and that they them- selves are mustered in as officers. The Alger scheme is feasible, and will be car ried out, if the war Is much longer main- tained. The proposed call for colored troops may be the last call of the war.

done" In other words if the legislature says that the children now growing up cannot wait upon reform in tax-gather- ing, but must have help now in the mat ter of education, no opposition to such im- mediate help will be encountered in the executive office or from democratic ofii- cials. On the other hand. they will give it active and efficient support. The question is with the people. They are to decide it in August. This Is as it should be.
