The celebration of the semi-centennial anniversary of the National Womans Huffr;*ge .Association began in V* asbing’ton yesterday. The gathering in Washington serves to attract attention to the progress which this movement has made during the fifty years from the 'Lime it began. We find In the Birmingham News some very interesting facts and statistics rela tive to the progress of woman’s rights. It upptars that In only three states of the American I Hlon do worm n have full suffrage and vote for all officers, includ ing presidential electors. These are Col orado, Utah and Wyoming, in which states wouii n are also It gible to office, several having bttn elected to the Legislature in Colorado and others having been chosen to educational offices in that and the two other elates wherein woman suffrage ob tains. The woman suffrage law was adopt ed in Wyoming in 1870, and In Colorado in 1893, while in Utah It is a constitu tional provision. In Kansas women exercise suffrage largely In municipal elections. In Mme form, mainly as to taxation or the selec tion of school officers, woman suffrage ex ists in a limited way in Arizona, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Kentucky. Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mon tana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, 'New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Washington and 'Wisconsin. But only in the Eastern Btatee and the far Western states and territories named above is the right exercised to any material extent. On the other hand, in nearly all states where a fight has been made for full wo man suffrage the movement has been de feated. In 1897 proposed amendments to their state constitutions, according females the right to vote on all questions, were rejected by the Legislatures of the states of California, Connecticut, Maine, Massa chusetts, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada and Oklahoma. The proposed woman suffrage provision In the chanter of Greater New York failed in the New York Legislature, and the Delaware Constitutional Conven tion rejected a proposition granting the ballot to females. While woman suffrage in Its broadest sense has made progress it undoubtedly reached its zenith In 1893 when it was adopted in Colorado. There it was given a thorough test, but the experiment, of that state, where conditions were probably more favorable to its success 'than ever liefore, has proven a failure. Since that time the right of full woman suffrage has Biot been extended except in Utah. where It had always existed, and was simply en grafted in the state constitution when that instrument was adopted. However, there will be other things to consider in connection with the work of the National Woman’s Suffrage Associa tion besides the mere matter of the right to vote. The agitation of woman suffrage Is in a large degree responsible for the economic aspect of the woman’s rights question. The result is the entrance of woman into the walks of life where a few years ago man held absolute sway. The army of self-supporting shop girls, type writers, female telegraph operators, with here and there a woman lawyer or a wo man doctor or a woman preacher, are the creation of this agitation. But these are not all. The ‘‘.new woman" with short ekirts and bicycle and the Mrs. Lease sort of creature who talks politics from the platform during week days and socialism from a pulpit on Sundays are the out growth of the suffrage movement. Os course this latter class are the extremists. But has not the American woman had to pay a fearful price for the privilege of sharing with man the duties and respon sibilities of commercial, business and pro fessional life? In so doing has she not lost something of her divinity which has been aptly discribed as “more impenetra ble and powerful than that which doth hedge about a King?” These are ques tions for the wise and grave leaders of the suffrage movement to consider. Not a single Senator who has spoketi against the ratification of the treaty for the annexation of Hawaii has presented a convincing argument against annexa tion; and strange to say the greatest op position has come from Democrats. That the friends of the sugar trust and the cuckoo worshippers should oppose annex ation was to be expected: but that 'Demo crats should array themselves against the traditional policy of the party, is an un accountable surprise. Spain's Heavy Load. Spain’s present debt inclusive of the Cuban war is in round figures 82.000,000,- 000. The exports from that country last year amounted to 8170.000,000, and her im ports to 8140.000,000. Considering the in terest which has annually to be paid on this large debt, it is easy to see how a continuance of the Cuban war. tending to increase it. will force that nation into bankruptcy. Already it takes one-half of her exports just to pay the interest upon her national debt, let alone providing for the government's expenditures. This shows how heavy taxation must be grind ing down the Spanish populace. With a population of less than 30,000,000 for Spain and all her colonies, the per capita debt amounts to more 'than five times that of the United States. This struggle against destiny must cease therefore ’ere long. Mr. Bryan has written a very strong and politic letter, which apeared in the New- York Journal of the 6th instant. Mr. Bryan undoubtedly gave this letter careful consideration for it is commendable in every way, and every American should completely digest it. He says: “No one believes that bimetallism will prove a panacea for all political ills, hut the money question must be settled .before other ques tions can be reached. Financial indepen dence is a condition precedent to reforms along other lines. The power that controls our financial .policy can control the policy of our government on every other subject ■wherever occasion rises for the exercise pf that control," Complexion of Congress. The following is a complexion of Con gress from a professional standpoint: In the senate there are eighty-nine mem bers with one vacancy rrom Oregon. A pole of the senate shows: Lawyers 64. merchants 54, manufactu rers 2, capitalists 1, planter and journalist 1, public officials 11, fanners 4. journalists 2, newspaper proprietors 1, retired 1. To rn, 90. Republicans 46, Democrats 34, Populists 5, Independents 3, Silver party 2. There are 357 members and 3 delegates in the lower house. Here is the way they are classified: Lawyers 213, public officials 1", mer chant 12, bankers 8, physicians 3. real es tate 3, planters 3, teachers 3, literature 2, clergymen 2, coal operators 2. pharmacist I, coal dealer 1, farmers 20, manufacturers 11, journalists 10, editors 7, retired 3. lum bermen 3, insurance 3, mining 3, contrac tors 2, milling 2, laboring man 1, operator I, Printer 1, machinery 1. Not given 20. The oldest member is Grow, of Pennsyl vania, who is 75, and the youngest is Bradley, of New York, who is 28. Politically the house stands—Ft. publi cans 203, Democrats 129, Populists 21, Fu sionists 1. Is it any wonder that our statute books are burdened with obnoxious laws in the interests of the classes and against the masses, when our lawmakers are so few ai the people? Here is another from the Americus Herald that the Macon Telegraph should have tried to explain away while it was at it. The Herald says: “The Telegraph still continues to shriek on every possible occasion. ‘1 am a Dem ocrat.’ Why should a paper in this sec tion have to declare its politics in so many words nearly every day? It is about as consistent as it would be for a business man to take a space In the paper to -tell the- public that he was honest not a cheat and a swindler. The Telegraph should remember that ‘by their fruits ye ehall know them.’ ” Business men who make large use of the mails—especially newspaper publish ers—will hail with delight the announce ment that the postoffice department has introduced a cancelling ink which will not clog, and which gives a clear impression, and which sinks into the fiber of the pa per of postage stamp and envelope so that It will not blur. Many people forget to give their state, and many omit the name of the po; ‘office. A legible cancellation will sav? trouble by furnl-hing these data. Says a level-headed Georgia exchange: “Peanut, popgun and possum politicians may whoop and yell all they please but the ordinary common people pf Georgia have decided to have a hand in polities this year and they will see >to it trait the offices will be filled by men who do not go in loaded down with promises to political heelers.” A petty officer of the United States cruiser Olmypia, one of -the fleet on the Asiatic coast, soundly thrashed a member of the staff of the German Legation at Tckio, Japan, recently because of a dis pute that took place regarding the merits of the countries represented by the dis putants. Now, Bill, make your bluff. Says the Americus Herald: “Everyone expected an announcement from an 'ad ministration candidate just as soon 'as a loop hole could be found 'through which to push him. There was discovered a crevice which the gang thought could be used with great results and at cnee the oat came out of the meal tub.” Says the Augusta Chronicle: “Colonel Candler's resignation of the office of sec retary of stflite sets Judge Atkinson a good example. Will he resign from the railroad commission?" The poor old Telegraph is deceiving none but itself in its attempt to pull the wool over the public eye in this gubernatorial race. It really (thinks it Is doing it. The politicians are trying hard to hum bug the people again. But the people are doing a little thinking for 'themselves this time. If Spencer R. Atkinson could change his name and shake off the support of the Macon Telegraph, he might at least hope. The Telegraph—and the Southern Rail way—want Mr. Atkinson to remain a member of the railroad commission. From all accounts Atlanta’s celebrated “■Peachtree Sisters” seem to be affected with the San Jose scale. What a factor in Georgia politics the old Telegraph would be if it could only get anybody to believe it. The press of the state is congratulating Mr. Candler on the opposition of the Ma con Telegraph. ODDS AND ENDS. Pealr divers remain under water from 50 to 80 seconds on an 'average, but oases have been reported of their remaining as long as six minutes under water. A. Mr. Ponder, of London, purchased a safe a few days ago at an auction of the effects of a lady in the neighborhood, re cently deceased. On removing the “lot” he found behind a drawer the will of the lady, and console and other securities to the value of 852,000. It would appear to be -hardly credible, but It is stated that at a sale at Mulch, a Genevan thaler reached the extraordinary price of over 815,000. It bears the date 1598, and there are only -two others in ex istence. It is four times the usual thick ness, and has the initials of Jean Gringe let, a celebrated medalist. The inscription on the face (“Geneva Civitas”) surrounds an eagle and key -and a sun: on -the reverse la the imperial eagle surrounded by the motto of the city. An extraordinary discovery, and one which is just now exciting considerable interest in antiquarian circles in Lanean shire and Cheshire, has been made at Stockport, England. During the excava tions in the construction of sewerage work for the town, the workmen came across what has since been proved to be a mas sive oak tree, with two immense branches. Professor Boyd Dawkins, the well known antiquary, is of the opinion that the tree is one of the giants of prehistoric times, and he says that it is certainly 10,000 years old. The corporation of Stockport are at a loss what to do with the gigantic fossil, which is supposed to weigh about 40 tons, and, as it is necessary that it should be removed, a proposal has been made to blow it up with dynamite. This has aroused the indignation of a large section of the public and efforts are being made to bring pressure to bear upon the council to preserve the tree. The Coming Woman. Who goes to the club while her husband tends the baby, as well as the good old fashioned woman who looks after her home, will at times get run down in health. They will be troubled with loss of appetite, headaches, sleeplessness, fainting or dizzy spells. The most wonderful rem edy for these women is Electric Bitters. Thousands of sufferers from lame back and weak kidneys rise up and call it blessed, it is the medicine for women. Female complaints and nervous troubles of all kinds are soon relieved by the use of Elec tric Bitters. Delicate women should keep this remedy on hand to build up the sys tem. Only 50c. per bottle.

Countryman Fails to Find a Buyer For His Prize. * Ji . Atlanta Journal. He wos a tall, shaggy countryman from the regions beyond Bellwood, and he car ried across hie shoulder a long oak stick, on the end of which rested a big fat pos sum whose tail was securely fastened by a split in the etick. Strolling down Mar ietta street with his peculiar charge, just before noon, the countryman attracted the attention of all the passers by. At Folsom's restaurant he tried to sell the animal, which he stated was eaught last nigh*, but as the offer he received was unsatisfactory he moved on to Deca tur street. A negro barber offered him a quarter for the possum, but the countryman want ed 50 cents. "Wai, sub,” said the barber, “I’ll give you de quarter an' er nice slick hair cut fur dat possum." “Me give a good fat possum fur hair cut!” exclaimed the countryman. “You don’t ketch me throwin’ away money like that.” The next offer he had was from a res tauraat keeper, who offered him a cup of coffee. 20 cents and six fried eggs for the possum. “Make it a full dinner—an I kin eat— an' we’ll trade,” said the eountrymaq. The restaurant man looked him over closely, and shook his head doubtfully. “I am afeerd to try dat,” said the res taurant man, “you looks too long an’ hungry.” “Wai, if I can’t git whut my possum’s wuth I kin take him back home,” said the countryman, and moved on sorrowfully down the street.

A Philadelphia man has lived ten years in a house lor which he paid no rent and no taxes. It belonged to the gas company, and he had paid rent regularly until the property of the company was transferred to the city. He says himself: “I don’t re member how long it is since I stopped pajing rent. It was when the gas office was on Seventh street. I went there one day with my rent and offered it to Mr. White, who had charge of the gas com pany’s real estate, but he refused to take it and told me that it was to be paid as the city treasurer’s office in the future. 1 took it up there, and a young man there said be could not take it, as be couldn’t find record of any such house lie told mo that they would notify me when they were reaily to take my money. I went back to Mr. White, and he advised me to go home and wait until I heard from them. Well, I waited. ’’ Nobody came to collect money until re cently, when the city discovered its title and sent a man to collect. The tenant got a day to consider and promptly skipped. But his experience with a free rent does not seem to have been satisfactory, if w e may trust bis wife. "Yes,” says she re sentfully, "he thought it was a snap, and look where he is now—no money, no busi ness, looking for a job, and a family to support. He wouldn't take my advice and move to where business was good, but he hugged his snap and stuck there in that stagnant neighborhood and spent money on repairs for the house and didn’t make any money.”—Philadelphia Record.

HERRINTON, Deputy Sheriff, MACON NEWS TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 15 1898. <4l &AKIHO POWDER Absolutely Pure Leighton’s True Art. An eminent American artist, who is now an old man, has never forgotten the lesson he learned from Sir Frederick Leighton in his youth. Leighton was then a brilliant and fascinating young painter, whose fu ture was still before him. He was at weak upon an Italian landscape or upon a pic ture with an Italian background. In that background he was anxious to introduce an olnetree. He remembered a tree which be had seen in the south of Italy and re membered it quite distinctly enough to reproduce it, but he was not content to trust his memory. The American artist remembers how Leighton came into a case in Romo on his way to southern Italy, making the long journey from England for the express pur pose of studying that olive tree and of tak ing home an exact sketch of it, and he re members also how, four or five weeks later, the ardent young Englishman, bril liant, enthusiastic, versatile, but with a capacity for taking pains, reappeared with a wonderful sketch of the olive tree, upon which he had spent days of unbroken ob servation and work. From this little in cident the American student learned a les son which be never forgot, and which went far to secure the success which came to him in later life. The story illustrates the great quality which lies behind all real success, alike for the 11. an of genius and the man of talent. Outlook. ■*t— . 3 iMMB Off illP- 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 & Fond 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 coustruetion that is the reason why the Ivers & Pond Riano can be depended upon to give the best results and the best wear.

Maps and Ilistoriea Disagree. “All the histories are wrong or else the government has made a mistake on its new United States maps.” said Superin tendent J. M. Greenwood. “The official maps issued by the department of the in terior have the Louisiana purchase so marked as to include Colorado and Wash ington, making the territory purchased run to the Pacific coast. All the histories I have ever studied gave the Louisiana purchase as only extending to Oregon on the west. ” Professor Greenwood then secured a pile of histories and a number of books recog nized as authorities on United States his tory. Each of these plainly stated that the territory ceded by France’ to the United States in 1803 simply extended to the base of the Rocky mountains on the northwest. But the latest official maps issued by Un cle Sam, which nearly cover a side wall in an ordinary room, have the boundaries of : the ‘‘Louisiana purchase” marked in red and extending to the Pacific ocean from the gulf of Mexico. “There is clearly a big mistake some where,” said Mr. Greenwood. And a num ber of persons to whom the mistake was pointed out agreed that either the histories or the officials at Washington had made an error.— Kansas City Journal.
