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. The author of “Sweet Marie” has mar ried the girl to whom the music was dedi cated. Fate has a curious way of even ing up old scores, notes the New York . .a 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. CASTOniA. The he- /? tiaila y y is « -'..-trrirs < every 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.

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. UNION SAVINGS HANK AND TRUST JCOMP ANY MACON, GA.
