An Absurd Charge.
A great dial has lain written about cur
rent eviitl.-. in France growing out of the
Dreyfus eiand.il, and an apparent effort
has b. i u niadi by some of these writers
to make .it appear that the whole anti-
Semitic agita .on, which has been the out
come of the Dreyfus affair, has beam in
spired by the Jesuits of that country.
The Ila is such -an absurd one (and is
bo regardi d by all intelligent J ws them
eelves) that it seems to us -the duty ot the
public press to disabuse the public mind
of such impressions as may have been
created by bktsed or uninformed writers.
In -the first place, it is well to under
stand the whole cause of the present
‘trouble iu France. Captain Dreyfus (who
happins to be a Jew) has been sentenced
-to life imprisonment for selling or at
tempting to sell to the German government
the French plans of fortifloatioik His trial
was conducted in a most, secret and uu
'Republlcia.it manner, and there is a grow
ing impression that Dreyfus is >but the
scape-goat of others higher in power than
himself, and Is the victim of a terrible
conspiracy, in a desperate effort to shield
others. Emile Zola, on January 13th last,
addressed an open letter to President Car
not declaring that Dreyfus was convicted
on insufficient evidence, and charging
conspiracy on the part of high officials.
Hl* letter was.a serious reflection on the
government and on the army, and, in the
hope of having all the facts connected
■with the Dreyfus case brought out, Zola
dared the government to prosecute him for
h.ls charges.
The government lias promptly begun the
prosecution of Zola and the editor of the
paper that published his letters for libel,
their conduct being regarded as “an in
sult to the army and the Republic.” The
■military arm of the government, it should
be remembered, is a much more essential
thing in France than with us, -and to at
tack or Insult it is to arouse popular pre
judice against the person making the as
sault, the army being looked upon as
something -almost sacred.
Tlte latter circumstance is -the real cause
of the present anti-Semitic agitation, the
fact of Dreyfus being a Jew being seized
upon by -the rabble and extremists as -a
pretext for persecuting others of his reli
gion. But how anyone can connect the
Catholic clergy with such a movement is
not easily understood.
As history shows, the Catholics, not
only of France, but of nearly all other
countries, have, from time to time, been
the victims of Just such cowardly bigotry
end prejudice as is now directed against
the Jews in France, Instead of being,
therefore, parties to such a movement, it
is but natural that a sensible Catholic
(and the Jesuits are generally credited
with intelligence) would be the last to
encourage such persecution.
This is 'true for the same reason that the
Jews of this country condemned the recent
A. P. A. movement, which was but the
twin brother of antt-S n. Both born
of ipnoranr. and cow -.rdiee and both dan
gerous I :;fl, for 1... There were few
Jews in ! > roun-try who so far forgot
■it r own religious interests, as well as
th<ir own self-respect, as to identify
themselves with such a movement, and
there are few Catholics in France who, for
the eamc reasons, could or would identify
themselves with an anti-Semitic move
ment. That there may be individual ex
ceptions is probably true, but they are the
exceptions that prove the rule.
, As !n<iisputable_.eytdence of the attitude
of t-iirhollcs toward the Jews, the New
Aork Journal publishes an interview with
Archbishop Corrigan, who is certainly well
qualified to speak on the subject, and whose
testimony is entitled to belief. Archbishop
Corrigan declares it to be untrue, as every
student of history knows, that his church
has ever countenanced the anti-Semitic
uprisings. It is its mission, he says, to
defend the weak and oppressed, and to
deal with errors of faith by gentle and
fraternal persuasion, rather than by per
secution and political agitation.
Archbishop Corrigan says: “This was
one of the principal teachings of St.
Thomas Aquinas, whose writings the Holy-
Father has so strongly commended to the
reading of all faithful Catholics. St.
Thomas maintained that souls were -to be
led to the Church by persuasion, not by
coercion. Leo has ever been noted for his
spirit of conciliation to all those outside
the Church. The late Cardinal Manning
■was another striking example of the kind
hoarted and sympathetic disposition of the
Catholic Church for the oppressed Jew
The Cardinal repeatedly expressed in pub
lic as well as in private his profound in
dignation at the cruel treatment to which
the Hebrews have been subjected dur’n»
the present century in various parts of
Europe.”
This ought to be considered sufficient
evidence that the Catholics, who them
selves know full well what persecution is
are not and could not be sympathizers
with anti-Semitism. But. added to this,
is the fact, which all well informed per
sons know, that the present Pope himself
has often condemned anti-Semitism in
every form.
So far as we have been able to discover,
both Catholics, and Protestants, as well
as all other fair-minded people, of what
ever faith, strongly- condemn the French
government for its refusal to accord both
Dreyfus and Zola a fair trial. The con
duct of the government has been cowardly
throughout and it may yet result in more
serious trouble. But none of these things
furnish the slightest provocation for the
present anti-Semitic agitation, or for the
charge, born of the same spirit of preju
dice, that the Catholics are responsible for
the movement. Both are to be equally
condemned. . i u
The Real Meaning and Effectlof It.
We have not yet found a clean politician
or an honest man who is in the least of
fend rd at Colonel Candler's letter de- I
nounci ng corrupt methods in Georgia poll- ;
■tic* and calling upon the plain, honeat
people of this etate to stand together to
defeat such practices.
Magnify it aa hi* enemies may, there is
absolutely nothing else in the letter. It
is a plea for clean methods, and we are
yery much mistaken in the people of
Georgia if they find anything to condemn
in such a sentiment. As a plea for clean
method* it is, necessarily, a criticism of
those who are not given to such methods
in politics.
And this criticism Las been promptly ac
cepted by Governor Atkinson and his po
iitsoai heelers—"not more than twenty in
number"—as a direct reflection upon them.
They, perhaps, best know if the cap firs
them. Speaking for ourselves, we, too,
think it does.
But it docs not fit those who are dis
gusted with such methods in Georgia poli
tics, and there are thousands of these—
lor of them Colonel Candler distinctly
■ays. Many who were with the tricksters
and traders then, disgusted with their
methods, are with us now.” And it is to
hese, as well as to ail other citizens of
Georgia who condemn political trickery
and trading in office, that Colonel Candler
appeals. •
The tricksters and traders alluded to
have seized upon his litter, however, and
are using it as a “fire brand” to excite
th- people of Georgia and to drive former
supporters of Atkinson ,iuto the ring again.
Bni Acre are thousands of the latter who
will refuse to be driven. They feel in no
way responsible for Governor Atkinson’s
political methode or those of his gang.
Th. y voted for him before, nnd r a mis
apprehension, but they regret it more and
more every day, and they will never again
vote for tiirn or for one of his political
school.
In other words, the be .st people of Geor
gia ami they are largely i-n the majority
—are sick and tired of peanut politicians,
tings and cliques, and they are going to
express and enforce their disapproval this
year.
As far as Colonel Candler's letter tends
to solidify the opposition tn him, it can
i.o no harm. That opposition was already
solid ami is always solid whenever the po
litical bosses pull the wires on their little
heelers throughout the state. No sensible
man, of course, will believe that the tetter
had anything to do with bringing out
Sp< ncer R, Atkinson. He had already been
decided upon by the “ring.” This decision
was reached as soon as Bill Atkinson re
turned from Mexico to find that his friend
and political right-bower, Joe Terrell, had
thrown up the sponge.
Colonel Candler knew these things,
knew that he was to have opposition, knew
the source from whence it would come,
knew the methods that would be employ
ed, and, as someone has expressed it, he
simply “fired at the ducks before they
lit.”
And this Is all there is to it. The letter
cannot make Spencer R. Atkinson mnre
flt for the high office of governor, nor can
it make ring rule and political trickery
more desirable. Nor can it make the hon
'■■st, unt-rammeled voters of Georgia less
hostile to such men and such methods.
We are fully convinced that when the
smoke has cleared away the good people
of Georgia will see that Col. Candler hit
bull's rye—and -they will be glad he did
it. The effort of the Atkinson ring -to
make the letter appear as sufficient pro
vo--. iiio-n for opposition to Colonel Candler
in lieu of some better excuse for putting
ou. a ring candidate—will not in the least
disturb the political equilibrium of the
hone-feit voters of this state who are dis
gusted with the political traders and pea
nut politicians—“the men who control.”
The Augusta Chronicle sensibly says:
“1-f 'Colonel Candler had reason to be
lieve that this opposition was being hatch
ed out by "the men who control,” and that
he was being antagonized by a certain ele
ment in the party he had a right to say
so. The severity of language allowable in
a letter to a friend (uot written for publi
cation) is a matter likely to be influenced
by the feeling of the writer and the person
addressed. That language was employed
which a careful 'politician, who tries to
run with the hare and hold with the
hounds, would not have used, only con
vinces the people that the man who is
asking their support is not a political
trimmer, wao tries to stay serenely on the
fence, but is a strong, rugged man who
has opinions and speaks them plainly and
unmistakably. Clearly the bringing out of
this letter is an effort to injure Colonel
Candler, but those who have given it pub
licity may find that it is a live wire that
is more dangerous tv the men who are
handling it than to the man who charged
it with electricity.”
Speaking of the Candler letter the
Americus Times-llecorder says:
Colonel Candler admits the authorship of
the letter, and says he stands by every
sentiment in it. He says it was given no
personal application by him, but if the cap
fits anybody who desires to put it on, he is
ready to accept the responsibility and de
fend any statement he has made. There is
really nothing in the letter to become ex
cited over, yet there will be a host who
will use it against Georgia’s favorite, Al
len D. Candler, in order to further their
own political preferment. The Times-
Recorder unhesitatingly characterizes the
publication of Mr. Candler’s tetter as a
malicious, unprofessional act. There is no
power under God’s sun that count have in
duced the Times-Recorder to have employ
ed such underhand and unprofessional
methods, even though it were to get rid of
a bitter enemy. Surely the tide of profes
sional ethics is ebbing low in the river
that flows by Rome.”
Says the Spa-nta Ishmaelite: “It really
looks as if Judge Spencer Atkinson intends
to contest the gubernatorial nomination
with rugged old Alien Candler. It is cer
tainly his right to do so. it is purely a
matter of taste and judgment. It is his
right to keep trying the various offices in
the gift of the people, until he gets hold
of one that suits him. But he would not
show himself a good judge of chances were
he to contest with either Candler or Bryan
for the office® for which the Democratic
masses have selected them. He would
find that he wasn’t in it, even a little bit.
It will be well enough, however, for him
to try it. He will never be entirely satis
fied with himself if he doesn’t, and he'll
be sad if he does.”
The Macon Telegraph couldn't be honest
if it tried. It started into this gubernato
rial race promising to keep hands off. And
now it is stabbing Candler in the back at
every turn. It's methods are even more
contemptible than those of the corrupt
ring for which it is now “scotching.”
While such tactics must be disgusting to
all right-thinking people, yet everyone,
except Atkinson's friends, will hope The
Telegraph will keep it up. Anything from
that source intended t-o injure Candler is
better than a dozen stump speeches in his
favor.
Says the Dalton Argus: “Spencer At
kinson ran for congress in 1890, in a dis
trict cut up by the politicians especially to
elect him. and swallowed the Alliance
Ocala sub-treasury platform, and yet he
got left. But he didn’t get left half as
bad then as he will if he runs against Al
len Candler. His 1890 feat was a picnic
compared to what he’ll get in 1898.”
Deny it as he will or attempt to dis
guise it as he may, if Judge Spencer At
kinson enters the race for governor against
Colonel Candler, he will be regarded as the
candidate of the present administration. —
Albany Herald.
And this is enough to settle his hash.
The Macon Telegraph’s bushwhacking
support of the Atkinson candidate is a
most natural and fitting feature of the
whole conspiracy.
When anybody denounces political
trickery and corrupt methods the Atkinson
gang always howl.
The people of Georgia have no respect
for a man or a newspaper that hits from
behind.
—■- -s* ‘ «». : w
The people are getting tired of support- ■
Ing men because they Hve in a certain sec
tion and in addition to that the people of
the state nave about come to the conclu
sion that Alien D. Candler will make a
good governor for Georgia, anyway.—
Americus Herald.
Alluding to a recent editorial in the Mad
ison Madisonian, the Dalton Argus says:
“Hasn’t the Madisonian heard of the
Atk:tjßon--Toomer--Beach--,Atkinson com
bine? They are the “folks.” and the Tel
egraph is in this ‘folks’ ring. See.”
Gevernor Atkinson may just as well al
low the people to have their own way
about the successorship, it will seem
easy o him when he get* used to R. — -
Sparta Ishmaelite.
Governor Atkinson says Colonel Cand- I
ten’s letter denouncing political trickery
and corrupt methods is a direct reflection '
on himself and-his crowd. Weil, let it go ;
at that.
If the Southern railway really means to
elect one of the Atkinson ring governor of '
Georgia, it will have to call off its Macon
newspaper.
There is not a word in Candler’s letter I
that cannot be endorsed by any man who |
wants to see clean methods prevail in j
Georgia politics.
There is no use temporizing; if the cap
fits Bill Atkinson and his crowd —-and it ■
evidently does —let them wear it.
It is announced that Spencer R. Atkin- |
son will saw oft the limb between himself |
and the tree tomorrow.
Yes; "Bill” is for "Spencer,” and i
"Spencer” is for “Bill.”—Dalton Argus.
DECLARED OFF.
The Game of Ball Announced Between |
Mercer and Milledgeville is Off.
The game of basebail that was to have
been played the first of April between
Mercer and the Cadets at Milledgeville
has been declared off on account of the
inability of the Milledgeville boys to get
up a team. They say that they will be
unable to get a team at all this year, as
there is no material in the college for
one.
The first game that Mercer will play
will be on the home ground with Wake
Forrest. The team has not been selected
yet, as there are some more players to en
ter school who will go on the team. The
boys are working bard to take Athens’
scalp when they meet them the latter part
of the season.

Healthy men
don’t commit sui
cide. The mar.
who takes his W
own life is the
man whose nerves
are on edge—
whose brain is "
worn out with
overwork and worry—whose bad digestion
makes him morbid and melancholy. A
man can commit suicide in more ways than
one. He can let his sickness kill him. If
he is losing flesh and vitality, he can let it
go on till he dies —it won’t be long.
Many men hesitate to take medicine.
They forget that sickness merely show’s the
body’s need for some material that is lack- •
ing in the food. The right medicine sup
plies this want. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med
ical Discovery is the right medicine in nine
cases out of ten. It soothes the nerves and
makes them strong and steady. It furnishes
food for the brain. It helps to digest what
is eaten and assists in the assimilation of
nutriment. It perfectly purifies the blood
and fills it with vitalizing properties. It is
the one great and infallible medicine for
men and women whose nerves are out of
order, who are losing flesh, losing sleep,,
losing vigorous vitality. It brings back
health and strength with marvelous rapid
ity. It has been sold for over thirty years,
and has a record of many thousands of
cures for every year —a record unapproach
ed by any other medicine in the world.

The Reasons of It
It is not by accident or by chance that
the Ivers & Pond piano is held in such
high esteem. There is a good reason for it.
The New England Conservatory of Music
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, led nearly two 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 for 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.
