War’s Realistics.
Among the many who howl for “war
r-r-r-r," how many are there who realize
what war means? The man who knows
something about war, the veterans who
have seen its horrors, the heroes who have
passed through the valley of the shadow of
death, the men who have fought for coun
try’s Hag, for country’s honor, and tor
home, even the mercenary who has fought
for money, or the soldier who has fought
alone for glory—all these make up the ele
ment in this country that is opposed to
war except as a last resort. And yet not
a soldier among them but would uphold
his country's honor to the last gasp, and
fall lighting if war it must be.
Popular passion and popular prejudice
at times like these feed greedily upon the
false patriotism of the jingo. War is a
word too lightly used, and the mass of the
people see only the giit and the glitter,
hear only the fire of the trumpet, and
roll of the drum. To them war is
nothing more than the sham battle of the
parade ground, which ends up in a sup
per, and a good cigar. But to the soldier
who has heard the ping of the bullet and
the rush of the shell; who has seen war
in all its hideousuess, its appalling mis
ery and heart sickness; who has passed
down the long lines of silent forms when
the day was done, and .who, tired, heart
weary and broken, has sat under the
moonlight beside the “glorious dead" —
thinking—thinking of the folly of it all,
the wrong of it all, the wickedness of it
all, the awful, blank horror of it all, and
thinking, too, of those at home who will
scan the list of killed and wounded on the
morrow—to this man war means some
thing more.
The braver the man the less he wants
war, the older the soldier the more care
ful he is of expressions at times like
these.
Tomorrow It may be necessary for this
country to declare .war; but proud as
Americans are of their country’s flag and
their country's honor, the jingo patriot
and the loud mouthed swash-buckler who
would have war first before in honorable
settlement and vindication of this coun
try's position as the wisest and the great
est of them all. is, thank God, not In con
trol of the counsels of the nation.
Kent, in his commentaries, speaks thus
of the commercial consequences of war:
“One of the immediate and important
consequences of the declaration of war is
the absolute inte. ruption and interdiction
of all commercial correspondence and in
tercourse between the subjects of two
countries. The idea that any commercial
Intercourse, or pacific dealing, can law
fully subsist between the subjects of the
powers at war. except under the clear and
express sanction of the government, and
without a special license, Is utterly incon
sistent with the new class of duties grow
ing out of a state of war. The interdic
tion flows necessarily from the principle
already stated, that a state of Aar puts all
the members of the two nations respect
ively In hostility to each other; and to suf
fer individuals to carry on a friendly or
commercial Intercourse would be placing
the act of the government and the acts
of individuals in contradiction to each
other. It would counteract the operations
of war, and throw obstacles in the way of
the public efforts, and lead to disorder,
imbecility and treason. Trading supposes
the existence of civil contracts and rela
tions, a reference to coprts of justice; and
it is, therefore, necessarily contradictory
to a state of war. It affords aid to the en
emy In an effectual manner, by enabling
the merchants of the enemy’s country to
support their government, and it facili
tates the means of conveying intelligence
and carrying on a traitorous correspon
dence with the enemy. These considera
tions apply with peculiar force to mari
time states, where the prirfcipal object is
to destroy the maritime resources and
commerce of the enemy in order to force
them to peace.
War is wanton unless instituted to
avenge or prevent injury, and the parties
thereto are subject to rules recognized
and sanctioned by the law of nations.
War is usually preceded by a declaration
thereof, although the formal declaration
of war, which was borrowed from the Ro
mans, has fallen into disuse. As in this
country, an act of congress is necessary to
declare war, the passage of such an act is
a sufficient declaration. Judge Grier, in
the prize cases, says:
Bj - the constitution, congress alone has
the power to declare a national or foreign
war. The constitution confers on the
president the whole executive power. He
is bound to take care that the laws be
faithfully executed. He is commander-in
chief of the army and navy of the United
States, and of the militia of the several
states when called into the active service
of the United States. He has no power to
initiate or declare a war. either against a
foreign nation or a domestic state, but by
the acts of congress of Feb. 28. 1795, and
March 3. 1807. he is authorized to call out
the militia, and use the military and na
val forces of the United States in case o's
invasion by foreign nations, and to sup
press insurrection against the government
of a state or the United States.”
War having been declared, certain new
civil conditions and relations immediately
arise. Upon the commencement of hostil
ities the persons of the enemy are sub
ject to imprisonment and their property
to confiscation, unless treaty provisions
exist to the contrary. While this right of
imprisonment and confiscation exists it is
not always enforced, and notice of the in
tention of the government in this respect
is usually set forth in the declaration of
war. By a treaty entered into between
the United States and Spain in 1795, it is
provided that :
"For the ’better promotion of commerce
on both sides it is agreed that if war
shall break out between the said two na
tions, one year after the proclamation
of war shall be allowed to the merchants
in the cities and towns where they shall
live, for collecting and transporting their
goods and merchandise.”
Among the other effects of a declara-
tion of war, or the mere existence of war, j
are: I.The suspension of the remedy for
the recovery of debts. 2. Th ; cessation of
all Intercourae between the countries at
war and the respective citizens thereof, I
unless sanctioued by the government or in
the exercise of the rights of humanity.
(Even going -so far as to dissolve partner- ;
ships existing between the citizens of toe :
two countries.) The suspension of con
tracts and the cessation of running inter
est.
The Fun —Phtenix.
“The king is dead! Long live the king!"
has time out of mind been the shibboleth
of loyalty to reel monarchs.
The subjects of the mock monarch, the
King of the Cacmival, practically carry out
the phrase. No sooner is one carnival ovej
tictiis. a reference to courts of justice; and
in tne south than from itq ashes rises oth
ers. younger and bright plumed as the one ,
that bat died in the dusk and ashen gray '
of penitential lent.
The echoes of jubilance from New Or- i
leans, Memphis, Mobile and Birmingham
have not yet died upon the ear, and yet
new notes of preparation and of promise
strike it. They come from the far shores ■
of the Father of Waters, and from within 1
tbe limits of our own state, fit. Louis sends
forth the formal and comrnanderful edicts i
of her great “Veiled Prophet,” bidding all j
who have dimes, and love pleasure and
brilliance, to hie them to that city on the ■
fourth of October next, and then and there !
to gl are in tbe glitter and jollity of high
carnival. Macon, also, sounds her saebut J
and her sbawn, and “shouts the glad j
tidings-” over the wires and mails that she '
will hold carnival revel for a whole week I
in nrid-Oetober.
St. Louis has long been noted for her >
elaborate and magnificent displays of the I
mystic order of “The Veiled Prophet.” Be- ;
yond any city of the country she has lav- i
ished money upon these spectacles; spar
ing no cost, trouble or effort to make them
perfect. Their fame has gone abroad, co-.I
equal with that of New Orleans herself; I
and the decorations and illuminations of |
streets and cities in the Missouri city even -
excel those of her Louisiana sister. A re
cent writer in the Journal stated as a mat
ter of fact that "Fall Faw Week" In St.
Louis had cost as much as $125,000; and
that a.t a meeting of her “Fall Festivities '
committee not many years ago, a round ■
million of dollars had been voted as need
ful for the three years next ensuing!
But Georgia’s Central City has had her
success, too; -and her civic pride is all en
listed in her coming festival. Her first
attempt ala “Floral Carnival” last year
was so emphatic and remunerative in the
crowds it drew that Macon promptly deter
mined to enlarge and extend the celebra
tion. In November her committees went to
work, and it was announced that a sum of
at least SIO,OOO had been raised for the
•glorification of her seventy-fifth anniver
sary as a city. Since then her most active,
liberal and intelligent business men haye
become enthusiastic on carnival themes;
and Maron now proposes to extend her
“Diamond Jubilee Carnival” over a whole
week, and to rival the splendors of New
Orleans herself.
We admire the pluck and ambition of
our central sister; and hope she may find
the fullest fruition of her hopes. Her car
nival does not clash with that of St.
Louis, as to dates; nor does the clientelle
from which she may expect to draw her
c.’iief attendance. On the contrary, the
crowds sure to Pock to St. Louis earjy in
October may be so handled as to redound
to Macon’s benefit.—Atlanta Journal.
Ned Hanion’s Position,
Hanlon of the Baltimore baseball club
has taken, a stand against rowdyism on
the diamond that must meet with the ap
proval .of the patrons of the national game
and of those managers (Who have the real
interest of the game at heart. Hanlon
says:
“I have opposed the method of my mien
and have repeatedly asked them.tj resist.
Their argument always was, on these oc
casions, that all other teams in the league
were winning games by rowdy ball play
ing and that they would not stop kicking
unless we wanted them to tumble down
and lose. As a result I’ll admit that I
winked at the evil because the players
were headstrong and detremined to win.
“There Is nobody more disgusted with
the way things have been going on than I,
and the -Baltimore Clulb ean be counted as
one of the reformers from now out. The
•national league cannot afford to quibble
' on this question of supporting the um
pires, for the game itself is in danger.
When I get to St. Louis I shall notify the
other magnates that the Baiitimores next
year will not kick and will respect thd’um
pires. Let every other club do as mrueh
toward stopping riot on the ball -field and
will find that baseball will be a clean sport
once more, frhere is no intention on my
part to dodge the issue.”
In taking this stand .Manager Hanlon
has stf.imped 'himself as an advocate of de
cent baseball, and occupying the position
he does in the world of baseball, it is not
likely thatt be will find opposition at the
league meeting in St. Louis next week.
Hanlon’s declaration of principles as re
gards the umpire question is .praise-wor
thy and will serve to increase his popular
ity among baseball men in this country.
Good Lor the Farmer.
In spite or war rumors and pestilential
calamity bowlers, the country seems to be
moving on.
The value of -all classes of farm animals
in the United 'States on January 1, 1898.
was $150,000,000 -greater than a year ago,
according to the annual live stock re,porta
j-ust published by the American
ralist. This places the total value at $2.-
037,000,000, -against $1,887,000,000 a year
earlier. In this improvement every class
of farm animal except mules hears a par.
The Increase in values is also accom
panied by an increase in numbers, which
means that the improvement is permanent.
■lt is true that horses anet mulese show a
slight increase in numbers, but even in
that case the general conditions are better,
because the iprice of horses has—in spite
of the bicycle—advanced practically $2.30
per head.
The total number of sheep is now esti
mated at mor* than 1,(DO,009 above last
year’s figures, and the average price is
placed at $2.50 per head, against $i.95 in
1891, and $1.50 in 1896. The highest aver
age price paid for sheep per head since 1890
was reported January 1, 1893, at $2.66. It
is estimated that there are 2,000,000 hogs
more in the -country than a year ago, and
the price/ though lbw, has shown a slight
gain, indicative of the strength of the gen
eral situation.
The Times-Enterprise, of Thomasville,
says: “Some of our public-spirited citi
zens, who have or can command the
means, should investigate the’ feasibility of
investing in a plant for making sugar from
syrup, and possibly or refining it here. A
correspondence with parties engaged in the
business in Louisiana would give cost, etc.,
and, also, the current prices obtained. It
would be a long stride ahead if the syrup
crop of Thomas county could be convert
ed into sugar, either brown or refined, at
remunerative prices. If this could be
done the crop would be trebbled and quad
rupled." This is a suggestion well wor
thy of serious attention.
The Madison Advertiser thinks that Col-
Candler .will be the next governor of Geor
gia. The entrance of more than one candi
date in the race against him will divide
the opposition and practically assure his
nomination. The public sentiment seems
to 'be in his favor, and, except in rare
cases, public sentiment generally wins.
Bays the Hawkinsville News and Dis
patch: “Although we are opposed to Colo
, nel Candler, we are frank enough to say
I that we believe he stands the best chance
, now of any candidate in the field and he
- may get there, unless some other strong
j man like Pope Brown comes out and cleans
, up the whple business.”
The aggregate bonded debt of American
. cities is $800,000,000; of English, $1,025,-
| 000,000; of French, $640,000,000. Before
| these figures all but the hardened statician
stands dumb. »

IS IT CURABLE?
A Question Often Asked by Those Afflicted
With Piles.
Is a s’rained joint curable? Is local in
fiamacion curable? Os course, if properly
treated. So is piles.
People often become afflicted with piles
and ask some old “chronic” who has al
ways persisted in the wrong treatment
and naturally he discourages them by tell
ing them Chat their case is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others and thus
a disease that can in every case be cured
by careful and skillful handling is allowed
to sap the energy of thousands who might
free themselves from the trouble in a few
days. ' »

THEATRICAL
Appearance of Stuart Robson
In “The J uckiins” Tonight.
Stuart Robson, a local favorite of wide ex
perience and real ability, who has a host
of admirers in Macon, will appear at the
Academy tonight.
Mr. Robson has been visiting
Macon for many years, and has been
heard in various successes, from
Shakespearean comedy to the higher order
of farce, but tonight he comes as Lem
Jucklin, a droll old North Carolina farmer,
a character in familiar environments, but
whose peculiarities are said to accentuate
a picture new to stage lore. The play,
“The Jucklins,” was written by Augus
tus Thomas, author of “In 'Mizzoura,” and
“Alabama,” and is said to be a worthy
successor to this piaygrrigh’t’s greatest ef
forts. Opie Read’s novel of the 'same name
suggested to Mr. Thomas the play. It has
been heartily endorsed wherever pre
sented.
SOMETHING THAT WILL AMUSE.
For Wednesday night Donnelly and Gi
rard will be the attraction at the Acad
emy, with a company of forty people, a
carload of special scenery, and most mag
nificent costumes tand electrical effects.
They appear here for' the first time in the
greatest of New York’s successes, in the
spectacular operetta, “The Geezer,” the
most laughable and amusing book ever
produced, by Joseph W. Herbert, and Mr.
Donnelly as Li Hung Chang, and Mr. Gi
rard as Two Hi, it will be funnier than
the writer himself had ever hoped for. The
play pictures Li Hung Chang’s departure
from China for this country, his arrival
in New York, his reception in Chinatown
by his countrymen, his studies of Amer
ican customs, bis departure for home, his
arrival home, and his reception by the em
peror and court attaches, the relation of
his experience here, and.his general un
doing. The piece abounds in funny situ
ations, witty sayings, pretty songs and
new and catchy music, and should prove
the hit of Donnelly and Girard’s expe
rience.

TOBACCO
Acreage Will Be Increased in Kentucky De
spite All Efforts,
Hopkinsville, Ky., Feb. 26.—A1l efforts
to induce the farmers of the dark tobacco
belt to reduce the‘acreage this year' have
failed, and the planters throughout Chris
tian and adjoining counties in Kentucky
and Tennessee are now busy making
preparations for the largest crop in- many
years. This will still further reduce the
price of tobacco, which is low already, it
is claimed.
The sales in the Hopkinsville market
last year reached 20,000 hogsheads, worth
about $1,500,000. Tobacco men now pre
dict that this year the sales will reach
30,000 hogs heads.
Something to Know.
It may be worth something to know that
the very best medicine for restoring the
tired-out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. The medicine is
purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to
the nerve centers in the stomach, gently
stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and aids
these organs in throwing off the impurities
in the blood. Electric Bitters improves
the appetite, aids digestion, and is pro
nounced by those who have tried it as the
very best blood purifier and nerve tonic.

THE CITY OF MACON.
What the Hawkinsville Paper Has to Say
About Macon’s New Boat.
The Hawkinsville News says: “The
City of Macon arrive! at Hawkinsville last
Finlay on her return trip to Brunswick
with a cargo of miscellaneous freight,
among which were several packages of
merchandise for Hawkinsville merchants.
The boat scored quite a point for Ha.wk
rasville in taking tor rhe Lathrep Oil Mill
•Con., any a shipment of 'IOO barrels of oil
at a 11 cent rate, while the railroads all
c.-iiged 59 cents. TJsls clearly shows one
• of the gross injustices that the rai roads
do the city. It will permit a rate of 30
■ cents a barrel for all river landings and
yet wants to charge SO cents a barrel for
' cotton seed oil. Our shippers are all de
i lighted at the lift given water competition
I by the City of Macon. Its successful trips
on such low stage of water is destined to
make it an important factor in the mov
ing of freights.
“We congratulate Manager Parsons of
the Oil NJili Company. His move will I
doubtless have a large effect for our city.” I
