Fully lialf the original editorial matter In today's Telegraph is devoted to an ef fort to prove that The Telegraph is the inert aoly edited paper in Georgia. It quote* from t'ae Cordele Sentinel, the 'Houston Home Journal and the Fitzgerald Citizen to show that it is so considered by all the competent Judges of Che slate. In a leading editorial nearly a column in length, the Telegraph endorses all that Uhese paper: say about 11, and even elab orates therion. Thereby creating the im ipre-.-iion that the Telegraph is not only Git- most #bly edited paper in Georgia (or anywhere else) but that The Telegraph knows it. And as if to offer further evidence of the superior character of its editorials —the •il> pth of thought which always animates its brainy editor and the dizzy heights to which he sours whenever he undertakes to enlighten and enrapture the public—it follows its self-laudatory editorial with the following, whidh we take pleasure in re ■jiioduetlng as a fair sample of what The Telegraph's editor can do when 'he rises from the mere commonplace of his finan cial vaporings and tackles a subject that ■he knows something about. We suibqiit that the following—as The Telegraph no doubt Inlands it to ibe —4s conclusive proof that Tin' Telegraph is the most ably edi tid paper in Georgia, or elsewhere. List: “We li arn from the Valdosta Times that (Bud Coffee, a leading negro of tihat sec tion, a school teacher and politician, is or ganizing a military company among those of his race who are so disposed, for the purpose of enlisting In case of war with Spain. Thirty have signed. 'Coffee is an Intelligent mulatto, and a man of courage. He is ambitious, also, and no doubt sees a chance (in case of war) to make a rep utation, If not sometlng of this world’s goods. We do not doubt his sincerity. But it was no doubt this .movement on the part of Coffee which sitruck terror into ■nho hearts of others of his race. The Tlirnes 'tells of another negro who heard that war imd been declared. He said good-bye to ids mother and started for mud swamp, saying that they would have to burn the ' swatitp aiwl sift the in'hos before they got lliini. .It would seem from these two inci dents that the negroes are like it he whites in this particular, that some will fight and some will not. (Bud Coffee, however, has white 'blood in his veins. The other, per haps, has tiot. For one who will not be allowed to take part in them, The Telegraph is exercising Stself very considerably over fair Demo cratic primaries. • Starvation Should BeStopped. Whatever may be our ideas as to the justification for war with Spain or inter ference on the part of the United States tin behalf of the Cuban insurgents, we can heartily agree with the Toledo Blade when it soys the one feature of the Cuban situation which is most hideous, the one ■which should be remedied Immediately, Is the slow starvation of the Cuban re conoen-trados. Tens of thousands of men. women and children have been forced to herd together tin the towns still held by the Spaniards, and in the adjacent villages. They are dying by scores daily—literally starving to death. Spain has gathered theta there, and it is her duty to feed them and give them prop er care. No language is strong enough to characterize this inhuman policy, begun under Weyler’s bloqjy rule, and contin ued under Blanco. It is a crime against humanity, which calls to heaven for vengeance. The food supplies contributed by chari table Americans, though large, is utterly inadequate to accomplish the work need ed. The little steamer Fern, for instance, landed supplies at Sagna la Grande. It took six hours to do the work. There are 25.000 people starving to death in that district. How long will that amount of food last that many people? It will be weeks, possibly months, before a second cargo will be sent. The saving of tens of thousands of help less people front starvation cannot wait for the slow processes of diplomacy It meeds to be done at once. The point has been well taken that the Armenian outrages, which apalled and sickened every American and which caused us to criticise the European Powers for •their indifference were hardly more re volting than the scenes now being enacted In Cul« and that, too, right under our nose. Whatever else may be said of the Cuban situation. The Blade is right when it says it is a crime against humanity. The Russian empire claims more than • 129,000,000 of the earth's inhabitants. Yes. end she's welcome to every one she claims. Armour and Leiter. The struggle is on again between young Jot' Leitier and the wily Armour, notes a western exchange. The former sticks to his theory that the wheat, he holds will 'be higher in price, while Armour, encour aged by the government report of a much larger supply in the farmers' (hands than previously estimated, has started .in’'to tiown his enemy. It has often turned out that the engineer of a corner in grain came to grief by find ing that there iwas an unexpectedly largo supply in the producers’ hands, and that corralling all .in sight does not mean cor nering the entire supply. The indications just now are that Mr. Leiter is in this predicament. The visible supply of j m . ported grain in Europe is increasing; Ar gentina is coming into -the market with a fair export supply; and there are many million more bushels in the United States than he calculated upon. But the crop year is not over until July, and there us ample time for the two giants in the Chi cago pit to fight out the question of su premacy. There is talk of an early adjournment of ,congress. The house has passed all except •three of the appropriation bills, and they have gone to the senate. The program of the majority leaders is said to be to has-* ten legislation with a view to adjourn ment by May 1. Much Ado About Nothing. It seems to us that there is much ado about nothing in these rumors concerning Judge Atkinson's possible or probable ’ withdrawal from the gubernatorial race. What difference does it make whether he remains in the race to the end or whether he gets out now? It may make a difference I to the gentleman himself and to his friends; it will save him and them a good : deal of unnecessary worry and work if he retires now—but why should the general public and especially the gentleman's op- I ponents care? Surely, they have nothing to gain or lose by his decision, no matter ’ what it may be. Judge Atkinson s entry into the race under the circumstances that attended it ’ caused some little excitement for the time ■ being, but it was not long before even his . best friends realized that he and they had • over-estimated the effect of that Candler letter that on sober second thought the people of Georgia could see in that letter nothing to offend honest men and no pro vocation whatever for opposition to a man of Allen Candler’s calibre. The Atkinson boom, it may be truth fully said, died aborning. Instead of cap- j luring South Georgia, as they thought he would. Judge Atkinson will not be able to I carry every county in his own congres sional district, while th* chances ar.- ten to one that Candler will receive more South Georgia votes than either Atkinson or Berner or both. As the campaign progresses it becomes I more and more evident that Candler is a I sure winner. Even if Atkinson and Ber- i ner were to combine they couldn't defeat him. So, why should the newspapers or any one else exercise thi mselvee about wbat Judge Atkin-on will or will not do? If he prefers to reman in the race, rather than undergo the mortification of a withwrawal at this time, by all meant let him remain. He has the right to run it through if he wants to. And he will have no one to blame except himself—unless, perhaps, it be the ’possum supper which enticed him into the race. Sam Jones has met his match at re partee at last. He has been indulging in some caustic criticism of Governor Taylor, of Tennessee, for *his liberal use of the •pardoning power. To which Governor Taylor makes reply as follows: “f think it comes in poor <taste for Sam Jones to talk in this way. Had it not 'been for the pardoning power Sam Jones would have been In 'hell long ago.” Mr. Bob Berner didn’t mention silver or Mr. Bryan in his address in Mon'ti ccll, chirps the Savannah Press. My, my, how these goldbug organs do hunt for crumbs of comfort. Os course, he didn’t; he was addressing Democrats, and he nat ural! assumed that all those whose votes could do him any good were already sound on party doctrine. •Douglas Glessner announces that from now until the end of the campaign the Griffin News and Sun will be entirely for Mr. Berner. 'Good! And now Glessner bears 'the unique 'distinction of having supported at one time or other each of the three candidates now in the race. The English Patent Office Library. If the poor inventor is not entirely ignorant of patent procedure, he knows that the pate.ht office makes no search to test the validity of his invention, and so lie comes to undertake it himself. If he finds that his invention appears in no previous patent, he is confirmed in his belief that he will at last see his dreams realized and that he will in a short, time possess great wealth. If, cm the other hand, lie finds his ideas have been anticipated, his dreams of fortune fade away like mist before a morning sun, and life, as he has known it for so many weary years—hard, toilsome, pit iless to those who, like himself, lack money—lies painfully clear before his view. A short three hours—or oven less— spent in 'this library may plunge the man who entered it hopeful and bright into deepest despair, and it is certain that within its walls many silent trage dies of this kind uro enacted week by week and noticed by only lew if any of those around. Hut inventors are a hope ful race, and though some who suffer such a disappointment of all their hopes may never recover from it there is no doubt many recommence their experi ments and elaborate other inventions from which they expect the same, or even greater, realities of wealth and happiness.—Chambers’ Journal. Not Qaite Certain. A case was being tried in court, and the particular question at issue was the number of persons present when a cer tain event occurred. An honest but sim ple minded German was in the witness box. He had never taken an oath before and was not a little disconcerted. The lawyer who conducted the cross exam ination saw his opportunity and bad gered him with questions after the manner of his kind. “How many did you say there were present?’’ he shouted, bringing his fist down upon the table as though the fate of empires trembled in the balance. “Veil,’’ meekly answered the wit ness, “off course I gon Id not chust say, but I dinks acre vas betvetsi six ami sefeti. ’’ “Tell the jury what you mean by that,’’ retired the lawyer. “How could there ba between six and seven? Were there six or were there seven?’’ “Veil,” answered the witness, “may bo 1 vas wrong. Dare vtts more as six, but dcre was not so much as sei'en. One was a fery leetle boy. ” —Pearson’s Weekly. Lobenguls’s Justice. Only one old tree marks the spot where the king used to sit administer ing justice to his subjects. A large part of this justice consisted ki decreeing death among his indunas or prominent men who had excited his suspicions or whose cattle he desired to appropriate. Sometimes he had then denounced— “smelled out," they culled it —by ths witch doctors as guilty of practicing magic against him. Sometimes he dis pensed with a pretext and scuta messen ger to the hut of the doomed manto tail him thq king wanted him. The victim, often ignorant of his fate, walked in front, while the executioner, following close behind, suddenly dealt him with the kuobkerry, or heavy ended stick, one tremendous blow, which crushed his skull aud left him dead upon tha ground. Women, on the ether hand, were strangled.—“lmpressions of Afri ca,’’ by Professor Eryce. Looking Ahead. New Boarders—That bed’s rather narrow for two. Landlady—Three have slept in it. New Boarders—Yes, but we haven’t boarded here long enough yet to get that thin.—Harper’s Weekly.

Premier Ito Hopes United States Will Not ■ Take Offense. Paris, March 17.—The Paris edition of j t’he Herald prints a>n interview with Pre mier I to, under a Takio date, in 'which the Japanese statesman declares that Japan will not sell the cruisers building for her in the United States, because of the Eas tern crisis. In making the announcement he said: “I hope the people of the United States will not take offense at Japan’s un- i willingness to part with these ships. I have always appreciated her kindly feeling I for Japan. The United States is rhe na tion above all others where pu'bkic senti nietit absolutely controls the national pol icy, and for that reason I wish to have the people there understand that Japan re tains nhese cruisers not from a lack of unwillingness to oblige the United States, but because she needs them herself.” ’GiREAT CHAS.M— Tacoma, Wash., March 17. —'Hong Kong advices tell of a terrible disaster in Jan- . uary ou the Island of Amboina. The town of t’ha't name was totally destroyed by an earthquake, killing one hundred 'persons and injuring two hundred more. Ambiona ■’is one of the Molucca Islands east of Cel ebes. There was an entire absence of the usual earthquake signs. The earth vibra ted and 'a great chasm opened through the most thickly settled part of Amboiina, en gulfing many houses before the inhabi tants coul descape. In North Borneo an earthquake about the same time caused the subsidence of several hills.

London, March 17.—-Smoking is on the increase among (both sexes in this city. The Daily Telegraph in an article re eordi’nig the enormous increase in the number of women smokers says: “The great middle class is smoking as unconstrainedly as the aristocracy, and the working woman is fast ifo-llowinig. One well known lady of title is sometimes seen •driving in the Ripley lloaid with a brier wood pipe in her mouth. “Inquiries made among doctors, to bacconists and others show the that the bicycle is responsible for much, as, with wheel parties, has arisen a. freedem of manner unknown in the presence of cha'p erones.” Every expectant mother hsa a trying ordeal to face.
