AIabama's Quick Response.

The Hannas and Hales and Elkinses have
sunk out of sight, and the American people.
filled with the American spirit of 177s. are
on deck now. The call for $4,000 men was
met by the quick responses of four times
that number, and there are a million more
who could be promptly enrolled The Maine
is to be avenged, and Cuba is to become
free, and all Europe cannot hold people
proud and free" when once aroused. The
unconqnerable American spirit is thor
oughly aroused, and ready to strike. 1t is
the old Anglo-saxon fighting blood that
Latin cruelty and misrule has evoked, and
the old time punishment is in store for the
Latins.
II is Alabamas glory to be the quickest
In responding, of the southern states. IN
Guiding the companies of Mobile that have
volunteered, the quota of the state will
today be not only filed, but mustered in,
or as nearly so as the mastering officers
are able to accomplish the task. If there
were enough mastering officers at Mobile.
Alabama would no doubt be able to claim
priority over all the other states in this
matter; for, so far as reports go, no states
quota has been mustered in.
The prompt and patriotic response of Ala
bama comes from all sections of it-from
Mobile and Montgomery and birmingham
and Admission and Troy and Tuskegee and
Talladega and Gadsden and Huntsville and
{ FLORENCE. Birmingham does claim pre-
enineQee iD-Me nunpe5 OF men turnisheo'
but all sections of the state Save done well.
In the glorious history of AiabaaRa TINS
Willingness of the young men to avenge
national wrong, and to battle for the help
less of another race and tongue, will shine
forth resplendently. An army OF young
men. the flower of the states manhood.
became soldiers at the first tap of the
drum. They deserve all the honor and all
the gratitude that can be showered upon
them. The Age-Herald only regrets that
the cali was not large enough to let the
state put full brigade In the field. An
Alabama brigade would have made history,
but the Alabama regiments will be heard
from IL there Is fighting disposition left
In the Spaniards.

HIGH LIGHTS

From the Chicago Record.
A man-coward gets only abuse, but a
woman-coward gets cuddled and eneour-
aged.
When some men go to war their wives
know it will teach them to take brown SUI
gar in their coffee.
Children look upon their father as man
who never puts gravy where they want it
on their plates.
Cynics think they can reflect human ma
ture correctly in the cheap. twisted mir
rors of their embittered souls.
Women who go to church to show their
finery always have a scornful contempt for
women who don't go at all.
Grammar is all right. but much of the
worlds most original thought emanates
from people who say II done it,
When a man is sick the average woman
likes to have him sick enough not to keep
her running downtown after cigars.
A mans folies are his educational oppor-
tunities, but he sometimes errs in loving
his teacher better than his lessons
"Reminiscences is the soul s searchlight; by
1t we discern that some of youths vices
were virtues and some of its virtues We're
vices.

The Inevitable War Talk

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
One of the saddest traits of war is the
way that people talk about it. The wisdom
of the serpent and the harmlessness of the
dove is at length upon US. Every bulletin
is a signal Legislatures on the curbstone.
presidents by the mile on every corner, adj
mrals behind every counter. great generals
in the, women's clubs-all settling things
From east to west and from north to south,
as far as the feet of men have trod, as
far as the dinner goes throughout the land
behold the militia of these who talk
marching with their knives and forks, with
mouths full of courage and belts full of
meat, upon the enemy. With the volley of
the wise across the table and the immemo-
rial murmur of the fool, the fight goes
fiercely on-dynamite. potato, pepper and
salt, torpedoes and olives, periods, perora-
tons. fiotillas and cream, bonbons and bay
onets, to the bitter end until all is over at
last. and the night her ancient curtain Ger
land and sea let's down. and the dead and
wounded and spent and weary are borne
away to where dreams are the only bulle-
tins ard where the battle is dim deserted
on the far horizan of sleep.

(Alfred Tennyson in Hands All Around, -

Gigantic daughter of the west,
We drink to thee across the flood.
We know thee and We love thee best,
For art thou not of English bloode
Should wars mad blast again be blown,
Permit not thou the tyrant powers
To fight thy mother here alone,
But let they broadsides roar with ours.
Hands all round!
God the tyrant's cause eonfoundl
To our dear kiasmen of the west, my
friends,
And the great name of England. round

rise, our strong Atlantic sons,
When war against our freedom springs!
C.speak to Europe through your guns!
They can be understood by kings.
You must not mix our queen with those
That wish to keep their people fools;
Our freedoms foemen are her foes.
She comprehends the race she rules.
Hands all round!
God the tryantsAscause confound.
To cur dear kirsnnen of the west, my
friends,
And the great name ofAEngland, round
