Tho prospect of peace docsnt't mean that thc anny will In- disbanded, liven after Spain has given up thc game there will he work for soldiers. Tin- receipts from the fort of I'once .are said to have been $20.000 in three days. At that rate it is worth having, and will du a good share toward pay ing the indemnity. The latesst information from Wash ington is to tl.Heel that Spain's reply has been received there, and that all tin- conditions laid down by the United States l'or peace has been ncccpted. Thc general opinion now is that the war will come to an end at once. um . mm Wyoming has contributed three times its i|Uota of troops in the pres ent war, leading every other State in ..hat respect. Woman suffrage pre vails out there, and it is meanly insinuated that tin; men nf tin- com monwealth would rather endure the horrors of war than stay at home under the circumstances. nm ? *? - Our government does not need thc Philippine Islands, because they arc too remote. I'nlike Cuba and I'orto Rico, which are in American waters, j these islands are in Oce?nica, on the border of Asia, 10,000 miles distant from Washington and more than 0,000 from our Pacific coast. The inhabi tants of these Islands are almost barbarians, and it would require a large standing army to watch over them. The per capita circulation in thc United States on July 1, IMS, as esti mated by the treasury officials, on tho basis of 71,022,000 population, was $21.74, which is the highest per capita circulation ever reached in the United States. The highest per capita reached previous to the past fiscal year was $24.44 in 1802, which was also a year ef geueral prosperity. The increase in thc money in circulation during thc past twelve months was $2.17 per capita. The State election took place in Alabama on thc 1st inst, and thc Democrats carried the State by a majority of 75,000. At the corres ponding election in 1800 the Demo cratic majority over thc Populists aud Republicans was about 40,000. The election was very quiet, not over two thirds of the total vote being polled. Thc Populists lost heavily everywhere. The Democrats will have ninety mem bers of the huudred in the lower branch of the Legislature. The contest was mainly on Stato and local issues. The prospect at this time is very bright throughout thc South for a big cotton crop, but it would bc absurd to predict thc size of thc crop which will be gathered. August and September are the critical mouths, and a sudden change in crop conditions is liable to make all prophecies idle. Prices of course may be expected 'to depend upon the size of the crop. If tho yield should prove to bc equal to that of last year, it is hardly probable that even so good a price as last season will be maintained. Our farmers are not anticipating a better price than they received for thc staple last sea son, and should it even go lower thc ereater majority of them arc in a bet ter condition to stand it. Thc end of this war will end our epidemics of yellow fever, everyone of which cornea from Cuba, says thc Atlanta Constitution, and save our country hundreds of millions in pre venting paralysis of trade. But pure ly in a commercial sense thc end of this war will clear thc business hori zon and we will enter on a new era. It will cause the banks, trust and safe deposit companies to disgorge the hundreds of millions of idle capital for investment. New railroads, new factories, new mills, new mines, new ships, new commerce will be the result; fevcry willing hand will find ready work, and every product of our land and our industries will find ready ""'I .?.?0*1* "b"" BfttC War ia onailn but whatever this war costs will be abundantly compensated. It is worthy of note that Lieutenant Hobson is a young man of genuine religious devotion. Just prior to starting on his hazardous trip with the Merrimac he wrote his will and mailed it to his parents at Greensboro, Ala. The opening clause of this will reads thus: "Por my near and distant future I leave myself without anxiety, in the hands of almighty God." It is also stated that when he started with the ship he sought divine guidance in thc accomplishment of his undertaking. Surely under thc circumstances such conduct cannot bc classed as mere sentiment, but rather as indicative of deep religious conviction. His ex ample, therefore, should prove an inspiration to young men desirous of attaining true success in life and courage to calmly face death. mm President McKinley's peace terms are decidedly liberal- too mu? li so, we fear. However, there may be diplo matic reasons for not demanding everything in thc Atlantic1 and thc I'ac i fie under Spanish sovereignty. Thc proposition submitted to the Spanish government ma!.es no claim for money indemnity, but it requires thc relinquishment of Spanish author ity in Cuba, the immediate evacuation of I'orto Itico and other islands in the West Indies, and une of thc Ladronc Mauds, li M also stipulated that the I'liilcd States shall occupy and hold the bay. harbor and city of Manila pendil)'-' thc conclusion of thu treaty of peace. Tbc American peo ple arc both just and generous. With out desire for colonial possessions, they yet realize that the world is evcry day crowing .smaller electricity and steam arc annihilating distance. Provoked to war by the inhuman d?cris of the Spaniards in Cuba, they have come into possession of certain favored spots iu the great seas, and certainly they do not distrust themselves to thc extent that they will refuse to ad minister affairs on these islands, thus extending their trade and spreading thc blessings of freedom. What thc President demands at the hands of Spain i^ only simple justice to our selves, and that he does not demand more but illustrates the generosity of thc American people. Anliest of Hoof Katers. liefere many days the armies of the United States will be recruited up to a beef -eating capacity of about HOI) big steers a day. I'eef bas always been au important article of diet to the soldiers of this country, as well as of English soldiers, but never in Ameri can history bas beef been so widely distributed and in such excellent con dition as just at present. The army in Manila, which will soon number 20,000 men, is eating beef every day that equals and probably excels in 11 nil i ty the beef furnished to the best hotels in this city, and Manila is under a tropical sun and nearly 7.000 mileB from San Kraucisco. "The refrigerated beef for the sol diers at Manila," said Commissary General Kagan, "comes from Sydney, Australia, lt is the only portion ol' supplies for the commissary depart ment that is nut furnished from this country, lt nearly broke my heart to let the contract for that beef to thc Australia's. 1 have been surrounded," added Cen. Kagan with deliberation, "by agents representing foreign canned goods and foreign products. They had thc tables about my office piled high with samples. Some of them brought mc coudenscd foods, claiming that a chunk ns big ns my little linger could suijtain a soldier for three days. I turned them all away. Keough is produced on American soil and sold by American business men to feed the officers and soldiers now in thc field." Cen. Kagan has not received thc bill for the beef that goes to Manila yet, and is uuablc to state exactly what thc total cost will be. although lie knows pretty nearly, but the Australians can supply thc demand for beef in thc Philippines more cheaply than could bc done from this country. From Sydney to Manila is something over 3,500 miles, about half the distance from San Francisco to Manila. Refrigerated beef, a luxury un known to soldiers of the civil war, is also furnished regularly, not only to the soldiers in the American camps, but to those in Cuba. Late last week a ship left New York loaded with 51,000 tons of subsistence stores. Sho stop ped on the way \t Newport News, where she was hen.'dly loaded with re frigerated beef for the soldiers in I'orto Rico. Gen. Miles' troopB will hardly have landed on Porto Kioan soil, ucar ty 1,300 miles from Newport News, be fore this shipload of provisions will be there for thom. The refrigerated beef for Cuba and I'orto Rico costs the Government 0.37 cents a pound. "Thc United States pays cash for its com missary stores," says Gen. Kagan, "and thc Government prices for the best article in the market are the low est. I defy any large business man to show that he can purchase for less than the Government pays." The army ration provides that beef shall be given to soldiers at thc rate of a pound aud a quarter a day. If it becomes impossible to furnish them witn fresh "beef at any time a pound of boneless tinned roast beef is substitut ed. If the soldier prefers it he can have pork or bacon a portion of the time instead of his beef. Experience with American troops shows that thoy prefer their ration of beef seven days out of every ten. On tho remaining three days they generally waut pork and baoon, not necessarily for use on those days, but for uso all thc time in their cooking. Thc pork is handy in cooking beans and the bacon also serves several other purposes. A little figuring will phow what an enormous quantity of beef our armies demand ai present. Wi ililli a few ?nyn the total strength of the regular and volunteer armies will be 287,000 men. TH- ~ J_il-.:-_# I-* L, tl,! J. uu viaujr DBttldpMVU V* voci VJ tuio number of mtn at tho rato of a pound and a quarter a day would be 357,750 pounds or almost 180 tons. The com missary department is very exacting about thc quantity of beef furnished, and no carcass will bc accepted that does not weigh when closely trimmed down at least 600 pounds. That re quires a pretty big steer. It will be readily seen from these statements that about 600 head of cattle a day aro required to meet this enormous de mand. And yet tho commissary de partment is sending refrigerated beef almost daily to points that are fully 11.00Q miles apart. This fact alone gives some adequate idea of the vast amount of labor expenditure entailed in feeding an army.- Washington Pout. - A man's wisdom is his best friend, folly his worst enemy.

July 27th, and reached Marietta at 1 lf> p. m. One of our party bad the misfortune tn get sick and grew tired of life and laid down on a railroad track where he knew a train had not passed in two years and gave up, but the others, having compas alon in their souls, went with a heart full of sympathy and a bucket full of water to arouse the ?leeper. We left Marietta at 3.15 p. rn. and reached Col. Brake's, at the foot of the Blue Ridge, two hours later, where we stopped for the night. Herd we laid the sick to reit and listened while he murmured with fervent lips, "Now I lay me down to Wake." The rest of the party then went to the top of the mountain to Fall Creek Falls, which ls near Grassy Knob. We eau desorlbe the falls best by saying as a tailor did who saw Niagara for the first time, "What a beautiful plaoe to sponge a coat." After a good supper we spent the ?vening ia smoking and talking. Thara clay, after a sumptuous breakfast, we started for Brovard, N. C., but were held tip ? oho rt distance from tbs house by the keeper of the toll-gate at Jones' Gap, wbo asked a email remembrance ofu-. We paid a flying visit to Conestes Falls, and, after some treacherous passes, wo reached Hrevard. At brovard we were entertained in royal style by Col. Joe Duckworth In his beautiful home. On Friday we spent a very pleasant day on Cooper's rilli, and on Saturday we visi ted Cessar'a Head with a pic nio party from Brevard, composed of six couples. We got a fine view of Table Rock, Green ville, 8. C., and Hog Back Mountain ; also a splendid view or the country for miles around ; and got baok to Brevard at dark, just in time to miss a good rain. We left Col. Duckworth's Sunday morn ing at lO.oO, but were not so lucky on the road. We were caught in a narrow pass and had to take the buggy to pieces and take the horses out and run them all up the hill to let some one pass, but we soon reached Col. Drake's, where we found our ?lek partner anxiously awaiting our re turn and seemed glad to see us.' We left Col. Drake's at eight o'clock, took dinner at Greenville, aud, after a hot and tire some drive, leached Willlamston at (1.30 p. m., having had a moBt enjoyable trip B. IND J. A Card.
