The time was when such an announcement would almost cause a panic, but, with modern methods of treating and controlling the disease, there is now little occasion for any unusual anxiety, and it is to be believed that the iMacon public will exercise common •ease with reference to the casee now reported. 'Experience has taught and scienee has demonstrated that this once fearful dis ease has been rendered comparatively haimless and easily eradicated, where properly handled, as it will unquestionably be in Macon. All that is necessary Is for our people to the vaccinated at once and to exercise such precautions as the Board of Health may eugg< st. In this connection it may be pointed out that the disease has existed in Atlanta and other cities for sometime past, and yet there have been no direful results. Bus iness has not been suspended and there has been no excitement of an unusual na ture. In many places the disease has al ready been effectually eradicated, as it, no doubt, soon will be in Macon. In the meantime, The News solemnly promises the public that it will keep no facts concealed which the public has a right to know, it will, as far as lies in Its power, faithfully report the progress of the disease In this city, and its state ments may be rolled upon. Just now, however, we see no occasion for alarm, and we hope the people of Macon will show their usual sound sense in tills matter. Macon Is In no sense Aerlously infected, there is probably no danger of a further spread of the disease if the proper precautions are taken. Tlie Board of Health is already actively at work, and we think we are safe in say ing it will handle the disease in the most approved and satisfactory manner. And now the iHon. Hut Jenkins is swing ing around the circle. This style of launching a gubernatorial boom had a prompt and salutary effect on the Hon. Joe Terrell. Child Labor in the Mills. The article by 'Miss Mary Lamar Pat terson on “Child Labor ‘in t'he Mills,” re cently published in The News, continues to receive attention from the state press. It has been widely and favorably com mented upon by those newspapers which are not. under the control Os corporations. The Augusta Herald is the latest news paper to notice Miss Patterson’s article, and Editor Rayne makes it the subject Tor a leading editorial, which is as follows: “Georgia protects her birds and beasts, but is deaf to the cry of her children.” "This quotation from the report of the education committee to the Federated Clubs of Georgia is the text of an article in the Macon Evening News, by its gifted sode.ty editor. Miss Mary Lamar Patter son. which is sure to attract attention. “There is an evident desire on the part of Miss Patterson to present a faithful pic ture of the situation and at the same time to avoid anything like sensationalism. She is deeply impressed with the hopeless con dition of the child who, beginning at eight years of age, goes into the cotton mill, where the work is from 6 o'clock in the morning until 6 o’clock in the evening, with forty minutes for dinner, shut out from all wholesome and linspiring influ ences and deprived of the education which alone could redeem one from such a bond age. She draws a pathetic picture of "With pallid cheeks and torn apparel, Those who tend the busy loom Realising that in their life work The birds they weave will never bloom; Their staring birds will never card.” She points out that human nature is weak and that when a child can contrib ute 45 cents a day towards the scanty budget of the family, it is hard for an impecunious parent to put aside the temp tation. This Is one of the many diffi culties to be overcome, for many sincere and sympathetic friends of the children are not sure that <it is on the whole a benefaction to deprive impoverished fam ilies of even this small income, nor would such families regard it as such. “Miss Patterson feels that her mission la a worthy one because it is that of a Southern woman. If it were undertaken by northern reformers, she says, t'he facts would be viewed as prejudiced and sec tional. When these statements came from & Southern woman, w’hose every sympathy •nd sentiment is essentially Southern, an attentive hearing is assured. “Whatever may be the thought of the details, we must all agree that the fac tory operatives, old and young, are en titled to educational edvantages such as will inspire new hope in their hearts and lift them to a higher and more useful plane of citizenship.” This government’s diplomatic represen tatives in Europe, it is stated, have re cently been making some inquiries as to the probable attitude of European govern ments if our government should adopt for cible measures to stop the war in Cuba. Our government’s agents abroad are rep resented as reporting that they have had assurance from England. France. Germany •nd Austria, that in ca»e of such interfer ence on our part they would maintain a strict neutrality. As regards France, it has been ascertained that such action by Wie United States would not only be ap propriate, but would be favorably regar ded by her. No mention Is made of Rus sia in this connection, but the Osar is less liable to antagonize the United States than any other European ruler, as the friendship of Russia and the United States U traditional. a'A Shades of Carvantes! Who was it remarked that there arc no great American humorists* Let him read today's Macon Telegraph and recant. He will find on the front page, first column a humorous sketch that for delicacy and pungency ranks anything ever offered a long suffering public. It is all about a boat: an unpretentious, innocent looking craft that would scarcely call for more than passing notice from ordinary mortals. But to the true humorist it Is a treasure ship of fun and wit, a craft loaded to the gunnels with bright and sparkling gems of thought, that only needs the right sort of stevedore to unload its cargo cf jokes on an unsuspecting public. Not only does the Telegraph's humorist scuttle the ves sel in his piratical attempts at wit, but he turns her prow upon bleeding Cuba and plows up phosphoric humor as he cuts the water. But, as if scorning these nar row confines, he gives his craft more sail and enters the closed ports of China, which are made to capitulate at the first crack of a joke. Mark Twain may have covered a broader field, but he consumed too much time in doing it. Had he pos sessed the genius of the Telegraph re porter who circumnavigated the globe on a stern-wheel steamer in a single night, he might have written his “Innocents Abroad ’ without stirring from his desk. But humorists are born, not made. Be tides serving to convulse its readers, there is reason to believe that the Telegraph s desperate effort at humor will have an other effect. It must inevitably lead to the withdrawal of Spanish troops from Cuba. They have withstood yellow fever, dynamite, starvation and Senator Morgan, but they must soon give way to such rapier thrusts of wit as the Telegraph deals them. It is an invincible army, in deed, that can hold the field against such an avalanche of humor as today’s Tele graph pours forth. And poor old China, no doubt, will consent to an immediate partition, rather than be made the butt of the Telegraph’s mailed Jokes. Thus is the old saying again verified, “it’s an 111 wind that blows no good.” Says the Savannah Morning News: Jud-son Lyons is to have ‘something much belter than the Augusta postoffice.’ Possibly President McKinley foresees some other changes in his cabinet which will enable him to give bls esteemed friend Lyons the distinguished consideration of a secretaryship.’’ Congress Should Take Cognizance of it. The great strike of the New' England cotton operatives who were made to vote for McKinley, ought to call the attention of Congress and the country to the hope loss condition under which American labor exists today, crushed as it is be tween the .millstones of insatiate gold contraction and a robber trust and mono poly-tariff. But last week 9,000 cotton spinm rs went out in New Bedford, Mass. One mill, the Bristol, managed to keep going with a small force, and, when clos ing time came, the wormen and mill offi cials were attacked by the strikers, but no one was hurt. The indications are that the struggle is to be a severe one and very likely extend throughout New England. The cotton, corporations insist that they cannot pay the old scale of wages under existing conditions of McKinley prosperi ty. Before the cut the highest paid labor in themllls, the mule spinners, were able to earn $14.50 a week. Now they w'ould get $13.05. The next highest paid, the sleshers, have been cut from $9 to SB.IO. Frame spinners formerly had the mag nificent income of $5 weekly. Now’ they would receive $4.50. On the other hand, the mill corporations of New Bedford have been paying dividends of six, ten, twelve and in one case sixteen per cent, for three years; only two are reported as having paid less than six. The profits of capital must not be reduced. When the times grow stringent the poor devil who starves on five or seven dollars a week must make up the difference. Kid McCoy claims to come of highly respected parentage, and their silence on the subject lends the color of truth to the statement, mentions the Richmond Times. Cleveland and Hawaii. riwMviu ciweiana s reply to Senator Morgan with regard to Hawaii is convinc ing and to the point. It completely dis poses of the virulent senators unwarrant ed charges against Commissioner (Blount, and effectually puts the former gentleman in an unenviable light. It is difficult to understand how Senator IMorgan or anyone else ever misunderstood Mr. Cleveland’s attitude toward Hawaii, or as to anything else. It is generally conceded, we think, that the ex-president, whatever else may be said of him, had the faculty of making himself understood. And it may also be said that he was capable of understanding others. He makes it very cicar that he understood Commissioner Blount and he vety positively coincided with him in 'his views as to Hawaii. The ex-president’s statement makes it clearly iu order for Senator Morgan to rise to another question of personal privilege and apologize to both Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Blount. A Washington special in today’s At lanta Constitution gives strong intimation that Mr. dußlgnon will not enter the gubernatorial race. Aristocratic Churches. Not long ago a New York minister, Rev. Henry Frank, made a tour of cer tain wealthy churches in New York in company with a reporter, to determine whether men poorly dressed were ex cluded. Mr. Frank was plainly dressed iu the Sunday garments of a wage-earner, the reporter as an ordinary man of wealth, with silk hat, black frock eoat, creased trousers and patent leather shoes. They went to five of the most fashionable churches in the city, and only did the minister succeed in gaining admission; that was when he exchanged his plain clothes for the silk hat, eye-glasses, frock coat and white necktie worn by the re porter. which was done in the carriage used by them for making the test. At the same church the reporter was refused a seat. The Cochran Telegram contains the following strong endorsement of Hon. O. 'B. Stevens for Commissioner of Agricult ure: “The above named gentleman is a candi date for commissioner of agriculture, It is true that he has not made any official an nouncement to that effect, yet at the same time, his friends have givan it out, and he is only waiting for an opportune time to make his announcement. We have fa vored Mr. Stevens all along, and should he decide to run we will, to the best of our ability to support trim. There is no question about his fitness for the position. He would make a model commissioner. He is peculiarly fitter for the position. He is a practical farmer and has worked himself from a day hand to the present standard. He began life wih comparatively nothing, and while he is not now a rich man, he is comfortably fixed in the way of the world’s goods, and has made what he has from the soil. He is a man of brilliant attainments. He is the man for the place and we do not think that the people and especially the farmers, would do •wrong if they elected him.” The Birmingham News says: "Senator Bacon, of Georgia, has presented the Ha waiian annexation question in the proper light. He has introduced a resolution providing that the people of the islands shall vote upon the matter. This is sound principle, if the islanders vote for an nexation this country will, have a clear title if it does annex the Islands. If they declare against it then we should let them alcne.” Every newspaper that attempts to be non-committal invariably winds up an ed itorial on the gubernatorial situation with the ambiguous remark, “We shall ses w*hat we shall see.” To a man up a tree it looks like they are already seeing what they shall see. They are seeing Al len Candler elected governr of Georgia with about as much ease as could be de sired. .. . . . , , 1 a AAX.i.. Mr. dußlgnon rays that he Is not pre pared to announce bis candidacy for gov ernor. “Tais,” says the Albany Herald, "will be a great disappointment to wire grass Georgia if he fails to make the race."—Savannah Press. To which the Albany Herald makes re ply as follows: “You are wrong there, Mr. Savannah Press. The Albany Herald has said no such thing. It was some other Herald—perhaps our esteemed Waycross contemporary. The Albany Herald has said and sticks to It, that this is not a good time for Mr. dußlgnon to run for governor. We have said this, too, in all kindness to Mr. dußignon. for we not only esteem him as a man of character and ability, but like him personally.” The Albany Herald sounds this note of warning: “Senator Bacon has won a word of praise from the Macon Telegraph, but he had to make a speech in the Senate in behalf of the confirmation of a Republican UJeneral Longstreet) to do it. W’e are not finding fault with the Senator for go ing to the rescue of the old soldier, for we think he did the right thing at the right time and in the right way, but as the eyes of the people of the state are upon him and two or three ambitious pol iticians in the state are eyeing his seat in the Senate with jealousy, we warn him against doing anything else that would be liable to elicit praise from the Macon or gan again right soon.” Says the Americus Herald: “A news item in a contemporary states that all signs point to the fact that the Republi cans of the state wil place Major J. F. Hanson, of Macon, in the field in the gubernatorial race. Perhaps that is why the Telegraph has been playing such a ‘hands off’ game in the matter and advis ing people not to act precipatel'y in the game.” And now they are saying that Governor Atkinson would play “next friend” to the Hon. Hut Jenkins in case the latter de cides to run for governor. If he can now secure the support of the Macon Tele graph, he will be put out of his misery at once.

Lamar & Sons Cherry Street, Macon, Ga. MACON NEWS TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 35 1898- POWDER Absolutely Pure STRANGE CAREER. Russian Jew. Who Controlled Negio Votes is Convicted of Robbery. The pension department has just se cured the conviction of Ben de Lemos at Montgomery, Ala., for robbing a xegro claimant of S7OO. De Lemos has filed a notice of appeal. If half the testimony secured by the gov ernment at De Lemos’ trial be true, he is a most remarkable criminal. In the cot ton field of the South he posed as a negro preacher and saint; in Missouri he was a Republican politician; in South Carolina he was a Democrat and Prohibitionist, and sold autograph Bibles, supposed to be signed by General Grant, to the farm hands at exhorbitant prices. In Alabama he was tramp, laborer, pol itician, and finally member of the legisla ture, and was elected alternate to the St. Louis convention that named iMeKinley. A Russian Jew’ by birth, his United Spates career began at Brazito, Mo., near Jeffer son City. Governor Thomas C. Fletcher, of that state, gave him .a job at the Missouri cap ital, and when Governor McClure was elected, De Lumos became messenger. Senator John 13. Henderson brought him to Washington, and he was an in'timate follower of Carl Schurz. Washington life was too fast for De Le mos, and he drifted east to New York, and then tramped through the Southern states. At Montgomery, while tramping, 'he crept into ‘the state house and slept over night in the speaker’s chair. In less than two years after he was entitled to a seat in that chamber. It was while acting as general conuselor of the negroes in Lowndes county that he is alleged to have appropriated the old pensioner’s money. Before 'the trial some one broke into Spe cial Examiner Hope's room and stole the papers in the De Lemos case, but he was convicted.
