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.—- Thomasville Times-Enterprise. > .

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. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, —ss Lucas County. Frank J.

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 Kansas City Star. Baby Inline!
