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. A DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT. A Valentine Party in East Macon Last Night by the Y. L. I. Club. Ax the residence of .Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Cutter, In East Macon last night the Young Ladies Industrial Club gave a valentine party, which was one of the most enjoyable events, that has taken place in Macon social circles in some time. All of the young people were out to en joy the occasion, and as hostesses they voted -the members o’ the Young Ladies Industrial Club the most delightful en tertainers 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. A VALUABLE BOOK FREE.

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.
