About Smallpox.
The News has been asked several times
of late by various citizens if il would not
be best if the newspapers would refuse to
notice m w <-a.. • of smalli>ox, the argu
ment being tiiat such announcements in
jure the city an 1 keep out-of-town cus
tomers away from Macon.
Ji has ever been the policy of The News,
mid it is always the wisest-policy, to tell
the truth. Hut aside from the general
principle that honesty is the best policy,
It is the best in this instance, because the
pursuance of any other policy just now
would do Macon vastly more harm than
would an acurate statement of the progress
of smallpox in ’this city.
Once the public, both at home and else
where, get the idea that the newspapers
of this city are suppressing the facts with
regird to the disease, they will accept
every idle rumor as true—for want of bet
ter authority—and the appearance of two
or three ases of imallpcs in Macon will
be m>*g..*"<u into a hundred or more.
The News promised at the outset to be
frank with the public in its reports rela
tive to smallpox, and this policy it "will
pursue to the end.
Hut the fact is there is no reason why
the upiiearance of the disease in Macon
•should disturb her out-of-town customers.
They could not become infected if they
'tried. The air in Macon is not full of
germs, else our own people would fall vic
tims to the disease. There are, in all,
simply three cases of smallpox iu this
city, and all of these have been isolated,
so that the danger from infection has been
rediuced to a minimum.
A stranger in the city could not possi
bly come in contact with these cases, nor
with anyone who has become infected.
Certainty the stocks of our merchants are
not infected, so that il is ridiculous for
anyone to think that there is the slightest
danger involved in visiting Macon.
Hur own peope are going about their
bmimss as usual, a majority of them have
been vaccinated ami there is little chance
for a further spread of the disease in this
cty. It is more probable that our friends
lin the nearby towns are really in more
•lunger from chance infection through
the lack of health regulations--’than they
■would be if they were in Macon. They
may rest assured that the Macon papers
will keep tb: m fully posted as to the' pro
gress of tne disease in this city, and they
Oiare sense enough to judge for themselves
jf it he appearance of two or three eases of
smallpox is calculated to infect the entire
community.
Germany's Growth.
Mr. Michael G. Mulhall, the well known
British statistician, whose ai tides on the
industrial and commercial progress of the
United States have attracted general at
tention, is now treating Germany in the
same manner -and with scarcely less sur
prising results. He shows in the January
number of the* North American Review
that Germany has made more' progress
than any ether European t -,wer during the
past twr.-fy yt rs. This fact, in itself, is
not a surprise, but Mr. Mulhall's detailed
statement contains figures that approach
(the marvelous, although their authenti
city is unquestionable
For example, the textile manufactures
of Germany have Increased more tbau 100
jier cent, in the time under consideration.
The consumption of raw cotton in the
German mills in 1876 was 280.000 tons, but
twenty years later it was 500,000 tons, and
is still growing. These mills operate
4,700,000 spindles, a greater number than
any other European nation. Similar pro
gress is seen in the silk industry, in which
Germany leads all other nations but
France, and has made much more rapid
progress than even France in the last
twenty years, having more than trebled
her output of silks since 1576. Extraordi
nary progress is also shown in the manu
facture of industrial implements, machin
ery and hardware.
Will Try Coercion.
The fine Italian hand of the trusts and
combines is clearly seen in the opposition
to the Hawaiian annexation treaty. The
■bevt sugar trust, for instance, has the au
dacity to oppose the annexation meas
ure, because it will effect the business in
terests of the trust in the country, an in
dustry that is now a beneficiary of the
(Bingley tariff law. The trust realizes that
the importation of Hawaiian sugar free
of duty would lower the price of sugar in
this country and it is, therefore, determin
ed to fight the annexation treaty to the
bitter end.
And thus the trusts and monopolies will
give the country another illustration of
their power. Not satisfied with offering
the American people the object lesson of
government by injunction, they evidently
■wish to give us a gentle reminder of gov
ernment by eo-ereion. such as was made
familiar to the the nation bv the same
elements in 1806. The Nebraska end of the
sugar trust informs the sugar beet farm
ers that it will pay only $3.50 per ton for
beets this year in case the annexation
treaty is ratified, and $l a ton in the event
of its rejection. Os course, this means
nothing less than a direct attempt to bully
the Western farmer into exerting pressure
upon the senators from his state to
defeat the nation’s ambition and vitally
necessary expansion. It is one of the most
barefaced and impudent movements on the
part of the sugar trust since that combina
tion wrote the Dingley tariff and forced
congress to pass it. The annexation treaty
has other enemies, but it cannot defeat the
measure.

Southern's Ownership of the Macon and
Birmingham.
The Macon petitioners who are asking
Judge Speer to reaffirm bls former decis
ion and declare illegal the ownership and
control of competing lines of railroads in
this state by the Southern, have filed a
supplementary petition naming the Macon
and Birmingham railroad as one of the
competing lines which have been gobbled
up by the Pierpont Morgan syndicate.
This is exactly in line with the charges
made by The News at the time of the sur
reptitious sale of this -oad to Parson &
Edwards, alleged capitalists. The News
held at the time that the Southern Rail
way was the real purchaser of the road,
though not daring to consummate such a
transaction openly. Subsequent. events
have substantiated every charge then made
by The News.
In the first place, the road as it now
stands, is of no value as a legitimate in
vestment. It has been operated at a loss
since the day it ostensibly passed into the
hands of Parsons & Edwards. Now, no
body will believe that a couple of "capi
lists”—without money—can afford to
own and operate a railroad at a lost.
There must be, and there Is, some ulterior
motive in such ownership.
It is as plain as the constitutional pro
vision against railroad monopoly in Geor
gia that the sole purpose of the present
o vner of the Macon and Birmingham (the
Southern Railway) is to prevent the ex
tension of the road. For the reason that
It would then prove a competitor for the
Columbus and Western and other roads
now owned by the Southern. The South
ern, therefore, ran afford to operate the
Macon and Birmingham at a loss so long
as it serves its purpose in .his direction.
Thus does railroad monopoly In Georgia,
Instead of benefltting he state as the
hired organs of the consolidators would
try to make the people believe, stifle rail
road development in Georgia and work a
d'rect injury to the stale.
There are men in Macon and elsewhere
who stand ready to extend the Macon and
Birmingham to Birmingham, thereby giv
ing Macon an independent line and devel
oping a large section of country. But this
is Just what the Southern Railway syndi
cate has been formed to prevent; hence the
purchase of the Macon and Birmingham
by the Peirpont Morgan consolidators
and their willingness to operate it at a
loss.
ft Is well that the Macon petitioners
have brought this particular matter to the
attention of the court, for of all the South
ern’s illegal transactions in this state,
none have been more flagrant than this
surreptitious purchase of the Macon and
Birmingham.
Me think a little investigation will show
to the court how preposterous it is to be
lieve that Parson <t Edwards, who are men
of small means, could own and operate a
railroad at a loss merely for the sake of
owning it; or that the Southern Railway,
after buying up over $600,000 of the bonds
of the Macon and Birmingham would al
low outside parties to come in and gobble
up the road for less than 'the value of
those bonds.
The Brunswick Times continues to give
Judge Atkinson some sound advice. It says:
‘•The Times thinks that Judge Atkinson
is being badly advised, if ne is really con
sidering making the race against Colonel
Candlei. He is a popular man. an able
man and a strong man, bu’ he has been
■preceded in the race by a man who has a
great sentiment behind him. The mere
fact that Judge Atkinson is iate in an
nouncing is against him; while Candler’s
work is already done, or the larger part oi
it, and he has now only to sit down and
wait for the date of the convention. The
Times is not advised as to the intentions
of Judge Atkinson. The Times is his home
paper and it feels a great and kindly in
terest in him and his success. It has
watched with pride his career on the su
perior court and the supreme court bench,
and expects to lend its feeble aid in car
rying him to still higher honors. But
there are favorable times and unfavorable
times for such ventures. This is one of
the unfavorable times.
Says the North Georgia Citizen: “Mr.
O. B. Stevens, of Dawson, Ga., who is a
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for Commissioner of Agriculture makes a
very modest announcement of the fact.
He names his qualifications, which appear
to be excellent, and expresses the opinion
that as rotation in office is a time honored
custom of the Democratic party, a change
in the office of Commissioner of Agricul
ture might be a good thing for the people.
Tlie Citizen takes pleasure in endorsing
the candidacy of Mr. Stevens, who is a
successful farmer of Terrell county.”
In April an effort will be made in Flor
ence, Italy, to pay a fitting tribute to the
memory of Amerigo Vespucci, the naviga
tor. A eommemmorative statue will be
unveiled by the king, and appropriate fes
tivities will be arranged by the city. Val
uable documents connected with Vespuc
ci's voyage have been collected and classi
fied for the convenience of students of his
tory. The landlords of Florence are look
ing forward to a increase in the
American colony, for the festival will
a month.
According to the Associated Press dis
patches, what with increasing discontent
and unrest among the operatives at Fall
River,’with increasing privations among
the strikers and the increase in calls for
aid in New ‘Bedford, and the announce
ment of five per cent, semi-annual divid
end in the ’Pepperell mills, and three per
cent, annual dividend at Lacona mills,
both at Biddeford, where there are strik
ers, the prospects are far from good for a
settlement of the labor troubles in New
England.
Pierpont Morgan, not satisfied with hav
ing bought two national administrations,
syndicating all of the great railway lines
north of the Potomac, in Georgia and west
of the Ohio, completing his steel and wire
trust, so as to control the output of the
United States, capturing control of the
entire anthracite coal output, now has a
scheme- for the purchase of Cuba. Where
will his ambition end?
The Atlanta Journal appears to be the
next friend of Tom Felder’s congressional
boom. Blackburn can probably count on
the Commercial's support, so that there is
nothing left for the Constitution to do
but take up Livingston. This will leave
the Alkahest free to leg for Brannan.
Says the Nashville American: “We learn
that the latest fashion with the elite of
Gotham society is to call for a dash of
whisky with your tea.” It will strike the
average American that this is a reckless
waste of tea.

OMINOUS RUMBLINGS
Constantly Heard in the Region of
the Isthmus.
Oaxaca, Mex., Feb. 9—Strange things are
taking piace on and under the earth's sur
face in this vicinity. Within a space of
fifty miles an increasing subteranean
bombardment seems to be going on. Fre
quently the ominous rumblings have no
visible effect upon the arth’s crust.
The recent series of shakes in the last
half of January were as formidable as
when the-«disturbances first began, about
a year ago. Fortunately no loss of life
has been reported, and the motion appears
to be slowly depressing the Isthmus.
One .heory now held is thay-the sea will
rush across a narrow nek of land and give
an open waterway between the Pacific and
the Gulf of Mexico.
None of the shocks has reached the table
land of the country; not one has been
felt in the City of Mexico, Guadalajara or
Puebla, but there have been severe shocks
here, however, without injury to property.
That something is going to happen is be
lieved, but no one knows what. It is en
tirely within the limits of possibility that
the eastern part of the isthmus will sink,
allowing the sea to come in, which would
reduce the width of the isthmus consider
able.
HORRORS OF THE TRAIL
Experience on the Skagaway Pass Told by
an India . Boy.
Logansport, Ind.. Feb. 9.—Dr. J. W. Bal
lard, one of the most successful medical
mtn in Cass county, is preparing to go to
the Alaskan gold fields in the spring. He
has a nephew, Bruce Milroy, tn the Klon
dike region, and a letter from him dated
at Dawara City, December 4th details the
terrible baidchips experienced by his par'y
in geing over the Skagaway trail.
“August 17th.” says the letter, “we
started up the trail with five harsea and
three tons of freight, and were three days
in reach ng L artville, a distance of seven
miles. Thousands of horses on the trail
made progress slow. Hundreds of dead
animals lined tb» route. At times we were
in mud up to our hips.
“We bad but one horse left when we got
over the Turtle Back, and it died before
we reached Shallow Lake. My legs were
terrible swollen and I endured great pain.
There on the most bleak and barren spot
of the trail, where three men had lost
their lives a few days before, was the only
place I weakened on the trip. But 1 man
aged a) bobble along with the rest and car
ry a hundred pounds on my back.
“We got a boat built by the 21st, and on
the 24th ran into the custom house on
Six Mile river. I had no money to pay the
tax of $49.90 and my stuff was seized. On
the 26th we shot Canyon Rapids, which
was only a series of rapids ending with
White Horse Rapids.
“Here the waters rush with lightning
speed around a curve, and it is at this
point that so many men have lost their
lives or suppies. Two boats were wrecked
there the day we got through, we escaping
almost by a miracle. We had many nar
row escapes from being crushed between
huge cakes of ice. We got into Dawson
November 11th. Provisions are very short
and hundreds are leaving to avoid starva
tion. Flour has been as high as $250 per
sack, and other edibles accordingly.
“OUR PLEASANT DAYS.”
Each year brings unto us,
Some pleasant days,
Some days that are happily spent,
Days that come like
The sun’s heavenly rays
Which God so good has sent.
■He let's them come
Unto every one,
Be they ever rich or poor;
That when we at
Our trials are done
Enjoy each more and more.
Then why not let us
Enjoy each day
As if not sorrow we keep,
And of the future
Put that away
And the present, happiness reap.
And fill each heart
With loving words
(Whenever chance we meet
For who knows when
“Death-reaper” comes
To guide us to his fleet.
Then let us sing •
Our praises to God;
To bless us ever now
That all our days
Be pleasant ones
And happiness be our crown.
Augus’tina F. Vannucci.
Blood x
Poison
A man afflicted with Contagious
Blood Poison, might as well commit
suicide as to take the mercurial
poisons which are alw; ys prescribed
by the doctors. If he takes those
poisons, he might as well make his
will and get ready for the under
taker. Perhaps this is plain talk,
but it is true, and truth is unpleas
ant sometimes.
If the sufferer will take Swift's
Specific (S.S.S.), instead of mineral
poisons, he will get well again, and
stay well. He will find that this

The Reasons of !t
It is not by accident or by chance that
the Ivers & Pond piano is held in such
hiah esteem. There is a good reason for it.
The New England Conservatory of Musi 1 :
did not hapen to buy 227 Ivers & Pond
pianos in preference to other makes.
There is a reason for it. It was not merely
good luck that lad nearly tw« hundred of
the most prominent musical and educa
tional institutions in the country to se
lect the Ivers & Pond. It was the result
of careful investigation and sound rea
son.
There are good sound reason why you
should decide upon an Ivers & Pond if
you are going to buy a piano. The reputa
tion of the makers for liberal and fair
dealing is your safeguard. The important
patented improvements found in no other
piano is another reason fur deciding in
its favor. But it is the watchful and pains
taking care that follows every piano from
start to finish, and the conscientious and
intelligent attention given to even the
smallest details of construction that is the
reason why the Ivers & Pond Piano can
be depended upon to give the best results
and the best wear,

In Your Teeth. Roared Congressman Nor
ton to Ray of New York.
Washington, Feb. 9.--Congressman Ray,-
of New York, and Norton, of Ohio, almost
reached the pistols-and-ooffee-for-t wo
stage, during the night session of the
house, while considering the pensions bills
Saturday evening. The bill increasing the
pension of Nicholas Gardner, Indiana Vol
unteers, from sl7 to SSO per month, was
under discussion. Norton said the pen
sion department was conducted on incor
rect lines and that the old soldier whe
went before one of the examining boards
generally got the worst of it.
Ray leaped to his feet and called Nor
ton down for criticising the administra
tion.
“Fm not criticising the administration
or the president, who was a gallant sol
dier,” thundered Norton, shaking his
clinched fist. "If the gentleman says I
did he lies in his teeth.”
There was a hush of expectancy and awe
in the House as Norton rose from his scat
and strode to the rear, leveling an infuria
ted glance at Ray, as if to say, “Come out,
if you dare." Ray leaned back in his
chair and smiled serenely.
Then the speaker smote the -table with
his gavel and the excitement was over.

any one to buy and the quality will make you a customer.
