ME MINGLED
WITH THE CROWDS

Who visited our store last Saturday, and were interested listeners of the re- marks which we heard both in lauda- ton and criticism of our fall and wn- ter exhibit of mems and boys weara- bles; and the most remarkable fact which impressed itself upon our minds was the wonderful amount of knowl- edge which most of our wis tors pos sessed of the merits of good clothing. We cannot help but feel strengthened in our conviction after Saturday that a great many people in Birmingham are excellent judges of the value of the things which they buy, and we say this with thorough knowledge of the ways of other people.

The Walnut Grove Dawn Of Light
thinks that II the voters were made
directly responsible for the actions OF
the men for whom they vote, more
care would be taken In the choice OF
officers, and makes the following navel
suggestion, which unfortunately is
impractlcable:
We understand that there is a form
err officer OF this county who is a de-
faulter IT, the amouRt Of about $1,000,
and his bondmcn will have it to pay
For some time we have held to the
idea that voters should be responsible
for the men they elect, and our plan is
about this: When a man deposits his
vote register his name and who he
voted for, and should the party elect
cd become a dcfaulter then let the
register he examined and each voter
recorded for said officer be required t.
pay his pro rata, and let nothing at al
be exempt, not even his hat. This
will make people more careful how
they vote.

SPANISH VERSION.
IT AGREES SUBSTANTIALLY WITH THE
AMERICAN ACCOUNT.

Havana, June 26.-The people OF
Havana are getting accustomed to the
blockade and the incidents OF war
times. Their courage Is returning,
and they are once more assuming at,
tendance on religious services and
participating in their customary
amusements. The churches, theatres,
parks, and. the bay, are literally
crowded.
The oricial accounts of the engage
ments in the province OF Santiago dc
Cuba, on Thursday and Friday of last
week, represent that the American
forces, supported by artillery, attack
ed the Spanish near Santiago de Cuba
on the morning Of the 23d, but were
repealed with loss. The Spanish loss
on the 23d and 9th were one officer
and eight soldiers killed, and three
officers and twenty-f0ur soldiers
wounded. The Americans in the
combat of the 24th friday, alone had
twelve killed, among these a captain
and fifty wounded.
On Friday morning, at Baiquiri. the
Americans, in considerable force, sup
ported by artillery, renewed the at
tack. Among the attacking forces
were lnsurgent bands shouting CUBA
Libre.n Ia the two engagements the
Americans alone sustained no fewer
than eighty lost. killed and WOUNDED

There is much in the pJmp Of war
20 attract the multitude, the noise Of
contcnding legions. the shouts OF
victory, the strains Of martial music,
the outward panoply Of war, always
commands the close attention. more
of those who are not familiar with the
details, than with those, who in
~restropects contemplate the progress
Of such a state OF things. Our great
warriors have OF times become also
oar statesmen, and leaders in matters
OF government.
And while in all ages and times the
hero Of the hour has been the success
full leader on the battle field, or in
time OF danger yet the implements Of
destruction have become so much
more effective now, than in other days,
it seems to me the destruction Of life
must necessarily be much greater, and
the period shortened thereby, as
against a long continuance OF a state
of war between contending nations Of
even equal power.
A war waged for humanity's sake
would look like a contradiction, but
it is through the ordeal Of the shed.
ding of blood that many of the
changes in the progress Of civilization
have been brought about.
A war for defence is always %justifl-
able.
"Iow weak is a tyrant's might.
Against ~lioerty's sword contending,
How Columbia's sons could fight
Their homes and lands defending"
But a war waged for acquisition of
territory or political agrandizement,
in fact for any purpose except for de-
fence or for humanity's sake, must be
of questionable propriety, IN this so
called civilized age.
For the writer has known, and we
all know Of the devastated territory,
the des0late homes, the anguish of
mothers weeping for their children
because they are not" though many
OF them may have said to their sons
as those Spartan mothers SAID, IRE
turn which your shield or upon it,"all
of which follows in the path Of con
tending armies.
! believe it was said, that Napoleon
originated the phrase, that provid-
encc was always on the side of the
heaviest artillery" And it was grimly
said Of Cromwell that he told his
soldiers to trust in Providence ant
keep'yOur' powder dry"
May we not hope that there will al
ways be a '%'redeeming spirit" Of law
and humanity which will in this
present strife 40 with Our soldiers
through the fiery ordeal" through
which they are or about to pas:
(which will preserve them from thu
contlagration."
And it is to be hoped that the time
will come in the history Of our civiliz
alton to be, in which all such matters
of dispute as above referred tn will be
submitted to an arbitration OF nations
who will settle amicably all differ
ences between them.
1t may be many days yet before
''grim yisaged war shall smooth it
wrinkled front.
But we hope it will not be long be
fore our buglcs will again sing truce
for that the storm cloud has fled.
A deplcated treasury, an increased
taxation, an army Of pensioners, war
pestilence and famine" must be com
pcnsated for the thought Of a people
freed from the tyrant's foot, a flag re
spccted on every sea when
''O'er all this land one flag shall float,
One song ascend from every throat;
That flag, the banner OF the free,
That song the song of liberty"

Man Arrrsted for larceny,

Deputy Marshal Grover went to
Springvale, Tuesday morning, with a
warrant for the arrest of Thomas Per
kins on the charge of larceny of veter-
mary instruments from the sta
BILE of Cummings & Prescott, last fall.
Mr.. Grover returned on the afternoon
train with his man who was locked up
to await trial. 1t seems that this
man Perkins, came to this city as a
hostler for DR.. Burt Andrews who did
not need him after time. Before
leaving the city the man appropriated
the instruments and left. AS the
things were of no great value the Off
GERS did not go in search of the man
but sent out notifications. A few days
ago Perkins was locked up by the
Springvale police for drunkenness. He
told the police he was wanted in Au-
gusta for larceny, and they held him
for the arrival of Officer Grover.
