All of the emergency war expenditures
are not going North. Some of the money
is coming South. The amount turned this
way so far is not very great to be sure;
still it is large enough to be worthy of re-
mark. Iron works at Rome, Ca, Chatta-
nooga and Birmingham have received, and
are receiving, orders for iron and steel A
Rome iron firm has received an order for
all of its stock on hand and all it can make
for three months. Southern iron, as well
as Southern patriotism, win play an i'm
portant part in THIS country's next war.

From Louisville courier-Journal Dem).

War is full OF misery at best. But the
operations in Cuba while embracing the
worst miseres of war; have been desti-
tute of it's ordinary features. The fight
ing has been of the most desultory char
acter, mainly skrmishes. Some of the
contests have risen perhaps to the dig
nifty of battles, but after more than three
years no great battle has been fought
Instead of real war we have witnessed
what Senator Proctor calls "desolation
and Distress"
Civilization cannot and will not ignore
this horrible condition of affairs.

Gov. Leedy of Kansas, says that since
corporations are persons" under the re-
cent decision of Justice Harlan, he thinks
these persons" ought TO come forward
and volunteer for the defenses of the coun-
try. He would. he says, be pleased to
lead company of such persons" to the
front There Is no doubt that Iseedy
means what he says; that he would go
to war at the head of a company of cor
porations Under other circumstances
probably, Leedy would be about as intan-
gibie as a warrior as the corporations are
as persons" to bear arms"

The deputy collector of customs at the
port of Pultneyville, n. Y, has resigned
He writes to the department at Washing
ton that there is about as much use for
q collector of customs at Pulneyville as
there would be for one on trout stream
in the Adirondack mountains" The total
collections at the port for the past four
years, says the resignng deputy amount
ed 10 probably $50. while his salary for
the same time amounted to $3.50. An
oddly in connection with the matter is
that ii took the deputy four years, ana

useless to the government.

1t is reported that the executive offices
at Washington are daily besieged by peo-
pie from all sections of the country anxious
to convince the authorities that 1t is abb
solutely necessary to the safety, honor
and glory of the United States that a con-
siderable portion of the $50,0OOOO0 emerg-
ency appropriation shall be spent for GER
tain articles which they have to sell, or in
certain sections which they represent. Fiji
ty millions Of dollars is a big pile of mon
ey, but everything cannot be done with
it. Every town which desires a fort and
big guns and garrison cannot be accom-
modated, Every defensive scheme which
has been urged upon Congress for the past
quarter OF. a century cannot be pushed
through as an emergency measure and paid
for out of the emergency fund The gov
eminent is evidently proceeding upon a
definite plan, and The arguments and ap-
peals of selfish persons will have no
weight at Washington.

The total of bank clearings in Savannah
for last week was 1872 per cent increase
over the c1earings for the corresponding
period of last year One city alone of the
whole country had a greater percentage
of increase, and that was the city of New
York. This excellent showing demon
strates Savannahs great and growing i'm
portance as a money center. There are
funds here for all legitimate enterprises
there are numerous enterprises of the sort
and the money is in circulation in great
and growing volume. Savannah is the
favorite financial and commercial city of
the Southeast.

Japan greatly increased her navy by
capture. All of China's best ships went in
TO the Japanese feet during or after their
late war. Spain has some very good ships.
If Spain were to insist upon getting into
trouble with us, we might have a very
much stronger navy at the end of it than
at the beginning.

A Suggestion Of a London PAPER.

LONDON, June 1.-THE st. James
Gazette yesterday publishes q long
editorial pointing out the hopelessness
OF any further Spanish resistance and
suggests that the Americans seek q
settlement Of the Cuban question In
Spain. II says:
There Is no need OF an invasion, but the mere
presence Of strong armament which the
Spanish navy could not drive Of on the coast
would produce tremendous effect, and there
are numerous unfortihed anchorages where
the Americans could recoal with leisure. OF
course there are powers In Europe who would
witness the operation with great disgust, but

selves or customers. II is also expect
that there will be heavy demand for

1t will not be the policy Of the govern
ment to allot bonds to foreign bidders,
many Of the foreign banking houses
in this city will bid for European GUS
toners.
