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. » The indications are that John Boifeuiliet has the clerkship of the next house in his inside pocket, says tbe Augusta Herald. A Grand Army post in Buffalo has adcp- i ted resolutions commending the “prud-aee. f dignity and patient restraint, of our com- i rode. the president,” in the present Cuban I crisis. The men who have had actual ex- <; pcrience in war are not jOinirg the jingo crusade. In Louisiana a man of 85 has married a woman of 70.

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.

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. 'toimbt I FOR WE&K MEN.

POWDER Absolutely Pure 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. Try it. Sold for 50e. or SI.OO per bottle at H.
