JUSTICE FOR GEN. WHEELER

From the New Orleans mes-Democrat
 Despite all efforts in certain quarters to becloud the facts, it is now pretty general ly recognized that the American people are indebted to General Wheeler for averting a. great disaster at Santiago. The old sol- dier's heroic action in rising from sick bed to be carried to the front on litter was a splendid deed, but all the testimony goes to show that innumerabie similar deeds of valor were done by officers and men. General Wheeler's great service con sisted in firmly refusing to order a retreat, at the solicitation of his subordinate ofi- cers Now that we have seen the army wasted by fever and disease. even though the campaign was so very brief, we can realize what an awful disaster was averted by this veteran soldiers perfect under standing of the situation. Of course, he had seen terrible hardships during his al most unrivaled experience in the civil war, but it is doubtful whether he had ever un- undergone anything quite so bad as the Santiago campaign. Even at the worst the union and confederate troops had the advantage of fighting in a climate that IS congenial to the Anglo-Saxon race At Santiago. disease did work far more deadly than the Mausers. Fortunately, General Wheeler seized the strategic moment, ana struck a blow that practically ended the war. He is indeed "a grand old man" May he live many year to serve the coun- fry in congress, as he has done in the

WELCOME TO GEN. WHEELER

From the New 1ork I1erdiu'
 "Fighting Joe Wheeler" has arrived from Cuba at our state camp at Montauk-as gallant a soldier as~ever came out of the south. who as a comparative youngster during the civil war made record for bravery of friend or foe might envy. and who as a grizzled veteran has recently em- phasized his soldierly qualities among the hills of Santiago.
 Alabama may well be proud of him, but he no longer belongs to the south alone, but to the whole country, and now that he is at Montauk New York puts out her hand to him and bids him welcome home.
 When peace has really settled down up on the country, and our state troops have their public review in New York, all our gallant heroes will be hailed with acclama- tion by the cheering crowds that will throng the way If Fighting Joe," who was their comrade on the field, is then our guest at the parade and rides among the New York troops he gallantly led in battle, the cheers that will go up when he comes riding along will show him how well the north as well as the south appreciates a good soldier.

RESULT OF THE ROBSON KISS

From the New York Herald
 The kiss of the hero of Santiago has made of Miss Arnold the arbiter of fash ions, the director of the latest fads.
 Dressmakers are begging her permission
 to name new garments in her honor.
 Milliners crave the privilige of calling
 their latest shape" of hat by her name
 Shoe dealers want new tapering heel
 on a novelty in dancing slippers to be
 known as the Emma Arnold. A composer
 is at work upon the Hobson-Arnold waltz.
 Poems have been inspired by her. The
 Hobson' kiss, a new barroom drink, is a
 rival of the famous gin rickey, tribute
 to A Missouri congressman. A famous
 collie, valued at s2,5OO, is no longer known
 as Golddust, but as Emma Arnold. A New York dressmaker wrote at length of her having just returned from Paris, where the attempt to revive the severe garment known the polonaise had been a failure But with your help, dear Miss Arnold, it can be made a go in New York, and my fortune and reputation will be es- tablished. I know from the pictures Of you that have appeared in the newspapers that you will look a dream in a polonaise. Will you give me your permission to name it the Emma Arnold polonaise? Another modesto casting about for "catchy'' title
 
 dozen of her best specimens of the gar ment If she would lend to them the lustre of .the name now famous throughout America"
 A New York milliner wants to chrsten a high crowned Alpine looking hat the Arnold walking hat, and promises her an unlimited number of them in return for the favor. Letters and te.egrams come to her in floods every day. They are requests for locks of her hair, inquiries as to how she dresses her hair, information that dramas to be known as "The Hobson Kiss or "Tow the Hero of Santiago Dis tinguished Himself are being cast, peti- tions for her autograph and proposals of marriage; cadets and naval officers send jocose or serious telegrams, and king | of silver mines asks her to be the "sun- shine of his gray life"
 And the pretty heroine of the brief but | delightful episode is bewildered and tired l and wondering, but not at all regretful.

The Coming Business Season.

The fall and winter business will soon be at hand, and now is the time to get ready for it. to invite it, and 10 increase it. The distribution business of Birmingham is not what it should be. This city is the largest town in the state, and 1t should become the states commercial center. It should take steps to drive from the state, by rendering their trips unproftable, the agents of cities in adjoining states. It is and Nashville drummers find within the whole, or to Alabama cities, that Atlanta and Nashville drummers find with the state a profitable field. Alabama con- sumers should be supplied by Alabama dealers. Georgia and Tennessee drum mers should be driven out by Alabama enterprise and push.
 This is the time of the year to take the steps that will ensure big trade when the growing crops are marketed. Great crops are in the field, and they will soon seek outlets. The opening of new markets in the West Indies for our lumber. coal, iron and steel and manufactured goods will go far towards filling every thoughtful man with hope. The development of our steel interests will particularly quicken busi- ness in this district. Altogether it is to be a better season than Alabama has known in many years-a better season than Bir- mingham has known since the days of the famous boom.
 The merchants of Birmingham should begin at once to widen the trade of the city and district They should advertise They should make known in every other possible way the advantages of Birming- ham, Instead of 100000 bales of cotton, this city should receive in the new cot ton year 100000 bales. Instead of custom CTS within radius of one hundred miles, trade should be sought in every nook and corner of the state; and if Nashville and Atlanta drummers continue to invade this state let retaliation take the form of in- roads upon Tennessee and Georgia. Bir- mngham hardware and agricultural im- plements should be sold in every southern state, and every other kind of goods can be as economically distributed from this city as it can be from any point in the country
 In the awakening that is coming, and in which this city is to bear prominent part, our merchants should be active partici- pants. They should get to work at once. The fall season is near at hand. Trey should carry the trade farther than 1t has ever gone before. long and strong pull will do 1t. Advertising will help. Hard work will do the rest This is the time to begin and the time to let up will be when the harvest is gathered along in the hot spells of next summer

The California Democrats.

The democrats of the great Pacific state are more advanced than their brethren of Missouri Texas and Montana. Their po- sition is the legitimate growth of time. Their resolutions show that the party of Jefferson, Madison and Polk cannot be- come unprogressive and un-American. As a party it believes in American institu- tions, American growth and American des- tiny, and any attempt to fossilize it or stagnate it will not become popular or successful. The democratic party, it is plain, cannot be used to enable the repub- lican party to work a war issue upon the country. The position of the California democrats renders such an issue an inn possibility, for if both parties hold alike as to the war and the fruits of it there can be no political divisions based upon them.
 The democrats of California indorse the action of congress in declaring war against Spain, and they praise the demo- crats who gave the administration support in all war measures. They are opposed to the surrender to Spanish dominion 'of the people of any Spanish colonies who coop erated with our forces against our enemy in the late war" This covers the Philip pines plainly enough. but the California democrats do not rest upon single de- claration. They go on to ask for the full est investigation of Philippine matters, in- timating that the interests of the United States demand their annexation. I've are opposed" they say, ito the surrender to Spain of any of the territory that has been acquired by American valor and the ex- penditure of the blood and the treasure of the people,
 No one will claim that the last-named declaration does not cover the Philippines. It is as plain as if they had said. "Hol' bem Philippines" The trend of sentiment in both and all parties is running in that direction; and long before the peace com- mission meets in Paris the sentiment of the country will become plain and unmis- takabie The California democrats are not one whit in advance of the party of the Pacific slope, and not much in advance of the democrats of the central and southern states.

AUGUSTUS FAMOUS PROCLAMATION

From the Macon. Ga, Telegraph
 The fall of Manila and the cowardly flight of Augusti calls to mind the idiotic trade he issued in the form of a proclamation when it was announced that Dewey had sailed from Hong Kong few days before his famous victory in Manila harbor. In a word he said ''The Yankee pigs are com ing. They're no good. Can't fight. Don't know how. Raw and unskilled in warfare. Boats bad. Won't count with ours. They can't shoot, neither sail their craft. We'll have a huckleberry picnic. Just watch usI
 Just so. But Augusti has been ruminat- ing since. He has learned a thing or too about Yankee pigs. Likewise about soldiers and seamen and shooting straight.

DEWEY's FLEET WILL. RE LOCKED

From a Washington Dispatch.
 Rear Admiral Dewey has been cabled by he navy department in regard to the fa- cilities offered at Manila for docking ves- sels of the size of those under his com mand. It is hoped that some arrangement can be made whereby the vessels can re- ceive the attention which they are in need of without leaving Manila. If 1t is found that the vessels cannot be docked at Ma nila, Assistant Secretary of the Navy All len says 1t will be necessary to have the work done at Hong Kong. Of course this will be impossible until peace between the United States and Spain has been techni- caliy declared. England has at Hong Kong five of the largest dry decks in the world. The largest Is capable. accaidiag to Chief Hichborn of holding the larscs. war ship afluat.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 The Monroe doctrine hasn't much to db with the question of the disposition of the Philippine islands. It applies to affairs oh this side of the Atlantic. It does not re- uuire us to interfere with well-establiShed governments and well-governed European possessions in this country, but it IS against further European acquisition in our district, and the war to expei Spaln from Cuba and Porto Rico has been strict- ly within the Monroe and Jeffersonian lines War was not declared on the Mon roe doctrine though. The appearance or Dewey's fleet in Manila bay was an 1nci- dent of the war to gain the freedom anp independence of Cuba. Carrying on war against Spain, we had right to strike the enemy wherever we could find him One of the most celebrated naval battles or our civil war was so close to a Spanish port that the citizens enjoyed 1t as a spectacle The Monroe doctrine neither forbids us to take the Philippine islands nor requires us to. The world acquiesees in what we may determine. All the con tentions we may have cannot be held down to the rules of the Monroe doctrine. Great Britain and other European countries nave many valuable islands as close to our continent as Cuba and Porto Rico are, and there is no thought of interfering with them. Devotion to the Monroe doc Urine does not require us to. Neither does it require us to keep our hands off the philippines, the Carolines or the Ladrones, or anything else that comes our way through justifiable war.

 "And its worst point" asked the iandlady. ''Is that it contains no coffee," was the ungallant reply.
