It we*-nis to have bet'll a case of too much ’possum with the Hon. Joe lerrtll. ’’‘Th’,"* nit down of tin- cotton mills in New Bcd' iixl is a Silent tribute to McKin ley prosperity. A millionaire tramp died in Paducah, Ky., y< »l. iday. II i had been Foxtown we could understand it. . The Prohibitionists of Alabama will probably nominate Joseph F. Johnston as their candidate for governor. i'nei. Is more in knowing when to lay down a hand than in knowing how to draw one. The Hon. Joe. Terrell knows when. Au electric light and iKiwer company that could give Macon adequate service would save many dollars annually to her citizens. “When the Chicago maiden puts down her loot and draws iier bat pin the wicked flee where no man pursuetn, deciares an exchange. Hanna*. u teg; am to Mi Kinlcy smacks of the divine right theory the divine right of the Republican party to live and of Hanna to boss it. Senatoi Teller not only insists on stay ing bolted, but takes occasion to rattle the lock every now and then, mentions the (Washington Post. Possibly the Emperor of Germany has a few more missionaries whom he would like to exchange for a few more setqioris, sug gests the Chicago Record. An lowa man after marrying the same woman tore, times shot her. A woman who would marry the same man three 'times desi rves to be shot. As soon as the Hon. Joe Terrell learned that Hie Macon Teh graph would not sup port Caudh r, he realized that there was no further hope for him. The present owners of the Macon Gas Light ami Water Company should be taught that i bird that, can sing and won't aing ought to be made to sing. It looks like It is going to be a difficult tnvatter to get anybody to tackle the Cand ler boom. However, there is Mr. dußig non; he is always ready for a race. The Atlanta Com t itution’s picture of Hon. Joe Terrell, published today, was evidently made after lie had reached a conclusion. It gives him a dam-it-take-it tuid-go look. In a recent publication by Rand-McNal ly &. Co., the town of Americus is left off the map. Thie ls the hankst blow Amer icus has received since a pickpocket stole ther street railroad. A statement of the gross postal receipts for the iuont.li of December at fifty of the largest, postofflcets gives the total at $3,810,929. an increase of $301,929 for the me month of 1895. It is said there are 1.000 persons in the. German Jails fur making jokes about the Emperor. The average German who at tempts to make a joke deserves the ex treme penalty of the law, anyway. Thomas Ewing Moore. United States •commercial agent at Weimar. Germany, in n report to the state department, says that one-eighth of the amount of i readstuffs consumed in that country is imported. The Macon Gas Light and Water Com pany evidently hasn't learned that electric machinery will not last forever. The present plant might have been a very good one some fifteen or twenty years ago. President l>olc. who purloined the Ha waiian Islands from Queen Lil, arrived at San Francisco yesterday and was treated with all the ceremony befitting his rank — ins trunks were not searched by the cus tom house officers. No higher tribute was ever paid to the deeadenceof Governor Atkinson's influence in Georgia polities than the refusal of Hon. Joe Terrell to enter the gubernatorial race because of the damaging charge that At kinson is his next friend. AVhat would the people say of a water company that attempted to supply a city of Macon’s size with a cistern system? And yet such a system would not be more crude and inadequate than the present electric light and power plant. Postmaster General Gary has invited proposals for carry! .g mail on several coiKemulated new- routes in Alaska, so that the mail service may be entended to the country now populated by the miners in the Klondike and surrounding country. General Miles, following what he ob served abroad, has suggested that the army qnd navy wear an appropriate de vice representative of the United States. The soldiers and sailors of all the great nations in Europe wear the insignia of ■the crown or some other imperial mark upon their uniforms. The bureau of statistics of the treasury department has issued a statement of the principal articles of export from this country. These are breadstuffs, cotton, mineral oils, and provisions, including cattle and hogs. For the calendar year, just closed, the total export of these arti cles amounted to $686,248,041, as against $634,638,37" for the previous year. The total for the year now reported is the largest ever recorded in the history oi shte country. Mr, Terrell Declines to Run. In a card to the public, Hon. J. M. Ter- ! roll announces today his purj>ose to re- ’ main out of the gubernatorial race, and says he will again be a candidate for at- 1 torney general, which position he has ) filled with great credit for the past sev- j eral years. Mr. Terrell is very frank with the pub- ' lie in announcing bls decision in this ’ matter, and his oard will make for him I many new friends. He makes no attempt { to conceal the fact that newspaper articles connecting his own probable candidacy I with Governor Atkinson’s alleged sena torial aspirations have put him in an j awkward position and so handicapped him I a« to make bls election improbable. This i is a high tribute to Governor Atkinson’s - baneful influence in Georgia politics; and I yet it shows that Mr. Terrell has a whole j lot of horse sense. Mr. Terrell’s card also makes it quite char that he has properly sized up the dimensions of -the Candler boom—and he would rather live to fight another day. In other words, he foresees Candler’s inevi table election, and he considers an attor ney gcnerabfhip In hand worth more than a governorship in the bush. We heartily commend Mr. Terrell for hi ; discretion and applaud him for the inunJy stand he has taken. We believe he has- raised himself in the estimation of the \otcrs of the state, and we are quite sure they will take pleasure In retaining him in hi- present position—perhaps In doing more for birn later on. He Is a young man nd i in afford to wait, and if he displays m much good sense and judgment Ln the future as he has displayed In .this in s’ nee, he will not have long to wait. Mr. Terrell s refusal to enter the gubernatorial race does not neees i fly mean that (Ml*. Candler is going to have a walk-over. There re other gubernatorial aspirants, the most, prominent of whom Is Mr. dußlgnon. This so ntj< m an has announced to his friends tti.'it he will not reach a decision In the matter until sometime In February or March, but the action of Mr. Terrell may i-ause him to come to an earlier conclu sion. It is generally believed that he does not want to remain out of the race if he can possibly avoid it. In the meantime the Candler boom grows with each day, and present indica tions make ft almost certain that he will be the next governor of Georgia. How is This for Highhanded Monopoly? A local story in today’s News forcibly ' mpha.sizes recent editorials which have appeared in this paper demanding a bet ter electric light and power service for this city. It Is shown that a new enterprise, about to begin business in Macon, is unable to secure either lights or power, because of the inadequate service furnished by the .Macon Gas Light -and Water Company, and yet is not allowed to secure this ser vice from a private plant, because of the company’s franchise. We submit .that this is a pretty state of affairs for a city of Macon’s size. Indeed, it is almost beyond belief that a city of forty-odd thousand people must submit to the absolute dictation of a -concern that admits its inability to furnish the service i equirid of it. By every line of reasoning this company has forfeited its franchise, and the city council should now not only invite another •on ;xmy to enter the field, but should ac tually encourage such an undertaking. It is both unreasonable and unjust to allow the present company to monopolize this field when It is made apparent that it can not properly fill the same. The people of Macon have a right to ex pect a satisfactory service from any con cern that operates under such a franchise the Macon Gas Light and Water Com pany now holds, and we believe there is redress, either from the company or from >"■ city itself, for those who are denied this service. Something should be and must be done at once. Either the present cornnginy must sell its plant to those who can and will give the city adequate service, or else ■oum'il should declare its franchise for feited and grant one to a new company. The interests of individual citizens and of the city at large demand it. General Robert E. Lee. As usual, the birthday of General Robert E. Lee will be appropriately celebrated in Macon and throughout the South tomor row. It is natural and proper that on this > ■■ i.m all Southern people should recall Hie glorious deeds of this greatest of Xmcriian soldiers and rejoice over the heritage that he has left his beloved peo ple. No name In history shines with greater lustre than that of Lee. Ills was an ad mirable character, from whatever stand point we view it. In him all the elements of greatness and goodness were happily combined. In all the bitterness growing out of the great struggle in which Lee played such an important part, few have been so un just or so malignant as to refuse to honor the name of Lee and to give him a place n history second to no living American. Only recently a Northern man. Dr. An drews, of Brown University, addressing a Northern audience, took occasion to pay a iusi tribute to the memory of this illus trious Southerner. A recent editorial in the Kansas City Times, commenting on Hy. \ndrews’ tribute to Lee, is doubly in ter, sting on this occasion. The Times says: "No more remarkable and significant speech has attracted public attention since the close of the war, thirty-three years <o. than was the one made by Dr. An- In ws in Chicago. Remarkable, because it was made by a Federal soldier, and significant, because it shows that passions and prejudices between North and South, so long kept alive by two penny politi cians. have completely died out, and that the truth may now be told. It took a soldier, with a soldier’s ardor, to do an opponent justice, and required the courage of strong convictions to tell the truth. Time has laid its mellowing finger upon prejudice and now history may be safely written. In that history, high above all the immortals of that un happy struggle, will ever stand that Chris tian soldier and patriot, Robert E. Lee. No name in American history, nor in the ■annals' of time will shine brighter than his. In military records no name can ever be suggested in comparison, except Caesar. Napoleon and Wellington, and he was greater than these. Indeed, it is not too much to say that in military genius his place is secure above that of any name in history. “It is no disparagement of the great commanders who hurled the im mense columns of the North upon *his thin, gray line' for four long years to say that he was superior to every foe. But we do not now intend to enter upon the history of that struggle. It is over and its biitterness well nigh forgotten. While its history is all covered over with tears, re grets and heartaches, yet Its lessons of pariotic devotion, manly endurance and sublime courage on both sides, endures as the richest heritage to all the people, both North and South.” Self Protection. The city of St. Louis, like the city of Macon, has been greatly troubled with foot-pads recently, but the former city bids fair to rid itself of these lawless characters, through the thoughtfulness of one of its citizens, who pumped one of his assailants full of cold lead a few night s ago. The shooting to death of one foot-pad has already had the effect of diminishing that class of crime in St. Louis, and it would probably be found quite as effective elsewhere. We are not bloodthirsty, nor •io we desire to see any citizen stain his hands with h’uman blood, but self-protec tion demands that our people take no chances. It is deplorable that citizens of Macon should be obliged to go armed or to sacrifice human life to protect them selves and their property, but we cannot fail to foresee the wholesome effect of one such surprise party on the foot-pads of this city, • The police are, we admit, doing all in ' their power, considering the limited force, 1 to rid the city of suspicious characters, and have already sent thirty or forty I tramps and vagrants to the gang, but the : residence portion of the city is still with out sufficient police protection. One such wholesome example as that furnished in St. Louis, however, would be quite as effective as if a policeman were stationed on every block. Movement of the Navy. While excitement concerning Cuba has abated considerably during tne past few weeks, there is never any telling what a day will bring forth, and considerable in terest attaches, therefore, to the move ments of Uncle Sam’s navy just at this ■ time. While there Is no effort at a naval j demons^nation around Cuba, yet the i presence of so many vessels in Southern , waters cannot fail to convince Spain of I this government’s ability to promptly and effectively take action in Cuban affairs should the occasion require. Although there is no expectation of any trouble just now, still In case It should occur the navy is more strongly represented in Florida 1 and West Indian wafers than it has been j in the past ten years. At K< y West there I is the second-class battleship Maine, at Jacksonville the dynamite cruiser Vesu vius, at St. Kitts is the Annapolis, and at Guadeloupe the Wilmington. The Detroit recently sailed from Cape Haytien to Key West, where she is now. The Marblehead is at Port Tampa, Fla. This naval force was made up with one exception, the Maine, of unarmored but lightly protected cruisers and gunboats. But It has recently .been re-enforced by the North Atlantic squadron, under Ad miral S’mard, composed of heavily armor ed vessels, the most powerful fleet that the United States has had together in many yrars. The vessels of the squadron are now distributed as follows: The flag ship New York, and battleships lowa and Indiana tn Hampton Roads; the battle ships Massachusetts and Texas at New York. The former were to sail on Satur day last for Florida waters, while the last two are .to leave New York next, Saturday and Sunday respectively, falling in with and Joining the squadron on the Southern drill grounds, off the Chesapeake capes.

Thomasville, Ga., Jan. 17—Captain John L. Finn, one of the wealthiest and most prominent business men in this city, com mittal suicide yesterday morning by shoot ing himself twice through the breast. He died instantly. He loft no message and gave no intimation of his purpose to take his life. The rash deed, which was a severe shock to the entire dty, <was committed about 8 o’clock yesterday morning in his bed room. When Captain Finn arose yester day morning his wife asked him what he would like for breakfast. He told her, and requested that she prepare it herself. She went down stairs, and a few minutes later two shots of a pistol were heard. Mr. J. F. Clifton, a brother-in-law of the de ceased, who lives in the same house, rush ed to Captain Finn’s bedroom, and open ing the door, saw him lying on the floor with blood gushing from his mouth and nostrils. He telephoned for a physician, but the unfortunate man was already dead. There were two bullet holes just above the left nipple, either one of which would have produced death. He was lying on the floor between the two beds, and near him was his revolver, two chambers empty, and still warm. The coroner held an inquest, and the verdict of the jury -was that tbe deceased came to his death by his own bands. Captain Finn was one of the largest real estate owners in this city, and also owned valuable property in Atlanta. His busi ness affairs are all in good shape. For many years he has been a hard drinker, and though he has made repeated efforts to rid himself of the habit, he was unable to do so It. is the prevailing opinion that he became desperate brooding over his great weakness, and decided to end it all by taking ihis life. The funeral will occur today. A Clever Trick. It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it. Anybody can try it who has lame back and weak kidneys, malaria or nervous troubles.

The new tactics which have recently been sent to the Georgia volunteers for their use will be put into effect at one ■ and the men will be instructed in them as soon as the company drills are com menced. The manual of arms is made for the Krag-Jorgenson rifle, but is adapted to the use of the Springfield rifle, with which the militia is now equipped. The Krag-Jorgenson rifle is a repeating gun and carries cartridges. At one side is a projection for the purpose of throw ing out the used shell a.nd driving the new one in the barrel of the gun. This pro jection will not allow the movement of “carry arms.” This has accordingly' been omitted from the revision for the Spring field rifles. For the same reason it will not allow “right shoulder" to be executed in the same way. and this has been chang ed and made very much like the “left shoulder arms.” the gun being carried with the barrel uppermost. The revision allows “present” arms to be executed from an “order” arms, or a “right shoulder” arms. Loading and firing will also be changed and many minor details of the execution of the manual of arms will be differently done from the old way. Instaed of making “fix bayonets” and bringing the gun on the left side of the body, it will be made from an “order.” The change in the tactics was made by a special board of army officers appointed for the work, in order that the national guard of the country will more nearly conform with the regular army. Many changes have been made in the tactics during recent years. The first were an adaptation from those used by the French nation, after which the Hardee system was used. Upton was the adopted and after changes upon these the present ones will make a further innovation for the troops. Money.

Ex-President Benjamin Harrison will address the Georgia State Bar Association this summer at the annual session of the lawyers. The executive committee of the associa tion met on Saturday morning in the state library and transacted some very impor tant business, among which was the send ing of the invitation to Mr. Harrison ask ing that he honor the association by de livering the annual address this year The committee, which is composed of Hon. Walter B. Hill, of Macon; Hon. James Blount, of Macon; Hon. T. J. Chap pell, of Columbus: Mr. Z. D. Harrison and Mr Morris Brandon, of Atlanta, met at the request of the chairman of the com mittee. The meeting, which lasted two hours, was the first held 'this year. It was the unanimous decision of the committee that the next session be held at Cumberland Island on June 29th and "'"s The session last year was held at Warm Springs. In addition to the routine business of the session and the reading of the reports from the offeers, a number of interesting questions will be discussed by the lawyers. Among these questions the following have been selected: “Should municipalities be empowered by amending the state constitution to re lieve manufactories of municipal taxes?” “Should the judges be elected by the people?” “Should the trial judges have the right to express opinions to juries relative to questions of fact?” These questions have caused a great deal of discussion and are of vital importance to the legal fraternity and the debate will prove one of the most interesting ever conducted by the bar association.
