Council Has the Right.
The city council of Macon will decide to
night whether or not to require compulso
ry vaccination in this city. 'Although the
lUoar.l of Health lias demanded such an or
dinance, council has so far refused to as
wist the Board of Health in its plan of
dealing with the smallpox epidemic.
If we understand council’s .position, and
we h ive sought to take the most favora
ble view of it, its failure to require com
pulsory vaccination has been Based on a
doubt as to its .authority in such matters.
Ju other words, the contention has been
that even should council pass such an or
dinance, it would be powerless to enforce
it.
The contention, however, will no longer
hold good, inasmuch as the supreme court
of the United States has decided, in a de
cision handed down yesterday, that “the
general assembly may, in the exercise of
the police power, confer upon municipal
corporations in this state authority to
make and*enforce ordinances requiring all
persons who may be wfthin the limits of
such corporations to submit to vaccination
whenever an epidemic of smallpox is exist
ing or may be reasonably apprehended.”
The general assembly has so empowered
municipal bodies, therefore the city coun
cil of Macon has the right, which can no
longer be questioned, to enforce compul
sory vaccination. Council, therefore, must
now face the issue squarely. Whether it
will allow the Board of Health to perform
the functions delegated to it by the Legis
lature, in the act creating the new charter
of the city of Macon, of whether it will set
aside the opinions of the Board, composed
largely, as it is, of physicians of ability
and experience, and assume the right .to
deal with this epidemic without regard to
the advice of the board—at the same time
assuming full responsibility for the con
aequcnces that follow. 0
We have no quarrel to make with coun
cil, but we insist that it has no more
right to tell the Board of Health how it
Ahull deal with this epidemic than it has
to tell the Bond Commission how it shall
handle the bonds of the city.
Preparing lor War.
The government at Washington is stead
ily preparing for possible war. Spain is
lining the same thing. We have a form
idable fleet at rendezvous between Key
West and the Tortugas—eighty miles, as
the crow flies from Havana. It is within
very easy striking distance.
The European squadron, Which usually
5s in Hie Mediterranean, is within tele
graphic call. Three of these vessels are
in Portuguese waters, at Lisbon; the
fourth is at Madeira, on her way home.
The South Atlantic squadron is in the
West Indies, to the southwest of Cuba —
but within convenient reach.
Spain is gathering her naval force in
Cuban waters, and when hostilities break
out —if it comes to that—we may be sure
the theatre of hostilities will center about
Havana. And every indication points to
war. Both nations are drifting steadily
into a situation of which the only logical
outcome can be nothing else.'
But will it be a war between us aud
Spain alone?
We think not. Spain will probably have
«in ally. Not any of the Spanish-American
countries on this continent, but an Euro
pean power, and one of the six great
powers.
There is reason to believe that Spain
has secret assurance from France that the
latter will protect the investments her
etitizens have made in Spanish securities.
The Spanish debt is almost entirely
owned in France. The revenues of the
island of Cuba are expressly pledged for
the payment of principal and interest of
a considerable share of that debt.
It is a fact which is of significance that
there has been no decline in the prices of
Spanish bands on the Paris bourse. Some
thing holds up their value, despite the
sudden looming of war-cloud between
Spain and the United States, and the pros
■pective loss of Cuba to the former. What
can it be but the knowledge that France
will intervene to keep Cuba in Spanish
hands, in order to protect French holders
of Spanish securities?
T.ue. we might guarantee the payment
of all Spanish bonds based on Cuban rev
enues. This might satisfy France. And
again it might not. The government may
see - .o dis.ract public attention from itself
and scandals now so rife by involving
itself in a foreign war.
The government at Washington is pro-
Wlth < ’ xtreme care. There is no
dount but the possibilities of foreign in
terference have been carefully canvassed
and that all steps which will be taken in
the Spanish imbroglio will keep that pos
sibility in view.
Advertising.
Extravagant advertising is waste bu’
judicious advertising is both an art and a
source of profit. -Customers are easily
deceived. They know that if a dealer has
a good article they will persistently tell
the people he has it, whereas a man who
has a poor antcle is never persistent in
advertising it. it is the man that keeps
hammering away that makees an imnres
snin, and reaches results. Spasmodic ad
vertising does not impress people that vou
have a good thing and know it. a space
in a paper filled day after day is, in the
experience of successful advertisers and
business men, the best of all known means
for reaching prospective buyers.
No business in this land was ever buil
up by programs, city directories, maps and
the like. Such things may be an aid. but
they never are the foundation of a busi
ness. Theey do not really reach many
people, and those that do read them gen
erally treat them contemptuously. Sgys a
recent successful bicycle advertiser: “One
inch in a good local paper, displayed in
the same place in each issue, will do more
to keep yourself and your bicycle before
the public than many adertisements of the
band bill nature.
Need a Stronger Navy.
The United States, which Americans
justly consider the first nation of the earth
in every national regard, is fifth as regards
her navy.
Great Britain, France, Russia and Italy
ali outrank her in this regard.
There is absolutely no reason why this
should be.
The United States should lead in science,
art and manufactures, and she can and
should lead also in naval equipment.
Bittle shipscorn $5,000,000 each. If the
I tilted Statts has t. mty such m msiers
balk at once on emergency order, she
would nearly be on a par with Great Bri
tain, the navy leader. The cost of these
v ssels, built simulta: rcj.ly, would be far
under $100,000,000, a; J cost of modern
ising and keeping up the equipment would
be a mere. trifle compared with the neces
sity.
if the necessity for simultaneous con
struction be not apparent, then let us
fouild these war ship. under a naval pro
gram, similar to the one under which our
present marine nucleus was constructed.
As a general 'proposition, any nation
leoks askance on a bond issue, but hardly
a voice wciuld be raised in America against
such an issue far the building of a first-
C.ass navy. Hal Cleveland’s bonds to pro
'tict the gold reserve, .been issued to build
a navy, few people would have objected to
them.
There Is no fear that a foreign army
will ever evade the United States in case
of war. There is fear, however, that in
case of war foreign battleships will bom
bard the American sea coast and do irre
parable damage to some of the proudest
cities on the Western Continent. A city
is an easy mark to hit, while a ship is not.
It can only be practically reached with
another ship. A navy is the only effective
ejast defense.
America is known among nations as a
patient, meek member. This might reflect
credit upon her if other nations did not
have the impression that her patience is
due to her weakness; that America is kind
I, cause it would be dangerous for her to
be overbearing.
Despite American pride and patriotism,
trie fact of America’s naval weakness must
be admitted. • Americans tell themselves:
“If it comes to war we have a well-filled
treasury and first-class credit, and could
buy all the warships we wanted.” But
c’her nations are not selling warships in
time of war, and no large stock of war
ships at $.",000,000 a crack is kept on hand
in the bargain stores. Months are re
quired for the building of a first-class
n odern ship.
There is a glorious chance for the men
r ow in charge of the Federal government
to endear themselves to the people for all
time to come by giving America, a first
class navy that shall put her first amVig
the nations of the earth.
The Dingley Deficit Again.
The following is the expense account of
your Uncle Sam for the month of January,
1898:
Civil and Miss, $8,966,127.38;
War, 4.946,098.41
N®vy, 3,230,106.51
Indian, 1,040,429.36
Interest, 6,138,726.07
Pensions, 12,375,223.33
Total expendlt. $36,695,711.05
The total receipts of the government
since July 1, 1897, to February 1, 1898,
making seven months of Republican pros
perity, were $245,985,602. Deduct from this
the sale of the Union Pacific payment of
$51,901,823, and the actual receipts from
all sources are $194,083,770.
The expenditures of the government for
the same time were $224,888,570; leaving
a deficit.of $50,804,701.
The Madison Advertiser thinks that Col
onel Candler will be the next governor of
Georgia. The entrance of more than one
candidate in the race against him will di
vide 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.
Says the Hawkinsville News and Dis
patch: “Although we are opposed to Colo
nel Candler, we are frank enough to say
that we believe lie stands the best chance
now of any candidate in the field and he
may get there, unless some other strong
man like Pope Brown comes out and
cleans up the whole business.”
The effort of the opposition to make cap
ital of the letter written by Colonel Cand
ler to one Tom Hight, of 'Augusta, wiil fall
flat. As a put up, it wiil prove a flat fail
ure. Gentlemen, you will never beat Al
len Candler by such methods. Never.—-

Would Ra'ise About Ten Per Cent in Case
of War.
New York, March 1. —-President Anton
A. Raven, of the Atlantic City Mutual In
surance Company, this city, said today
that the feeling .in’marine insurance cir
cles ■was that there would not be any war,
notwithstanding that many insurance men
are considering the matter 'because of 'in
quiries that have been sent to them asking
for rates on war risks.
President ißaven said that insurance
companies would insure the contingency
of possible war at a rate of 1 per cent, on
sailing vessels and about one-fourth of 1
per cent on steamships.
In the event of war the rate would be
increased fully ten per cent, he said.

A NEW GYPSY QUEEN.'
The Coming; Coronation of Molly Fryer at
Topeka. ,
A new queen will be crowned by the
Romany gypsy band on May 82 next at
Topeka. This will be the second gypsy
coronation ever held in the United States.
On thisoccasiow 800 gypsies of (be Romany
tribe will assemble at Topeka and hold
elaborate ceremonies. Sixty cf the gypsies
have already arrived in Topeka and are
maxing arrangements for the coronation.
The queen to be, Molly Fryer, she learn
ed only a week ago that she bad fallen heir
t'> the gypsy throne by the death of her
mother in Austria, is in Topeka now and
i: at the gypsy camp north id the city. Her
mother, Sophia Fryer, died seven:! weeks :
ago in Austria, having ruled the Romany
band for 62 years. Molly Fryer, being the i
next in line of succescion, was chosen to j
ba queen. As aq.• en must lie :?:> years of |
age, the coronation will take place May i
22, which is her birthday.
Tberegre 1,200 meniL ,-s of the Romany '
band in the United Slates, and between !
800" and 1,1.00 wiil arrive in Torekadv.rir. • !
the winter ami take parr in th.: coronation. :
It will be an cßboratc sea.-t. The corona
tion ceremony will be performed by Father
Metroviteb, who is the high priest of the
b ind. The crown whieu was worn by the
aged gypsy queen for so long is now being i
remodeled for its new possessor, and a I
cousin, Minnie Youngs, will bear it from
Austria to Topeka and will formally place
it on the young queen’s head.
It is composed of Bohemian garnets and
solid gold and is said to be beautiful.
When remodeled, it wiil contain several
sparkling diamonds. Three months ago
Molly Fryer was married at Belvidere,
Ills., to Gustav Stackovltch, a young Aus
tralian, who Is a member of the band. The
English of his name is Stanley. Ho and
his_ brother Louis and the latter’s wife
travel together and camp seme little dis
tance from the main body of the band
They have better tents, wagons and fur
nishings and live in better style. The
Stanley brothers speak English fluently.
Molly i’l’yer is a typical gypsy. Her skin
is dark, her eyes a brilliant Hack, her fig
ure graceful and her manner easy. She
speaks 13 languages, but hae not learned
English well.
Louis and Gustav Stanley are now mak
Ing the arrangements for the coronation
of Molly Fryer. A large field w ill bo pro
cured, where the whole band will camp.
In the midst of the camp a large tent will
Lo erected, wim- the ceremonies will take
place. Father Metrovitch, who lives in
Chicago, will come to Topeka early in
May and will have full charge of the cere
monies. The Romany band now hasadopt
ed the Catholic faith, but they never at
tend services in regular Catholic churches.
When a gypsy couple is to be married and
the distance is too far for High Priest
Metrovitch. he sends word to a Catholic
priest near to where the band is located
and the ceremony is performed in the
usual way.
The Romany band dates its lineage back
to the Pharaohs. For several hundred
years the headquarters of the tribe have
been in Austria. Eight months age Molly
Fryer came to the United States and
joined the band with which she now trav
els.
When the news came to Louis Stanley
that Queen Sophia of the gypsy band had
died, he set about notifying all the bands
in the United States. A conference was
held, and Topeka was selected as the place
at which the coronation should be held.
All the members of the Romany tribe of
gypsies have now been notified of the cor
onation, and most of them are on their
way overland to Topeka. The coronation
of a queen among this people is the grand
est event known to them. The exercises
will extend through a week and the occa
sion will be a round of pleasure and joy.
At this time also the gypsy baud will for
mulate new rules. Queen Elect Molly I’l’yer
has already begun the making of her cor
onation dress. It will be a gaudy affair of
oriental style and made of rich material.
Also she will wear many beads and neck
laces which will be brought by the various
bands, and she will bfi a queen charming
to the Romany tribe.—Topeka Letter in
