Extraordinary Powars.
it will .ooiier or later occur to our peo
i. “it has mH already, mat we are con-
Hini.g tire.; extraordinary powers upou
Its most important provision coolers
tioubk Nothing like it has ever Delore
. u seen oi heard of in the history al
. .public even when more serious dan
gers threatened than are involved in the
pr< sent situation.
It is extiiinely doubOful if these powers
at< being wisely conierrid, and we may
hnd it out warn too late. Certainly the
lath'is of the republic and our ablest
st.di snien u;i to tiie present time never
allow, 1 themselves to Income so inflamed
with passion as to tolerate any such cen
tralization or power as is now taking place
every day- with the tacit consent, at least,
if not approval, of tin people of this coun
try.
For Instance, a bill has been reported fa
vorably by the house committee on mili
tary affairs, and is regarded iwith com
mendation by the chairman of the similar
committee in the senate, granting the
president Jurisdiction over the militia and
national guard in the various states when
a foreign war is in progress. A contem
porary says:
matters in case of a sudden outbreak of
power on tiie president in the event of a
foreign war to order the national guard di
rectly into the service of tiie I ni'tid States
without first calling on the governors of
d e states. This change would expedite
ard time, spring began. That Is to say, at
hostilities.
It may be a more expeditious way to
call out the state military organizations,
but it would be a most emphatic violation
of law, of precedent, and of the constitu
tion itself, seriously eonmnents an ex
change.
Should 'the president have need for
troops from the states he must first decide
the number he desires, and tiie length of
the term of service, unless sooner dis
charged, for which they shall be mustered,
die must then fairly divide the number
called for into quotas for each state to
UH, according to the number of men in
that state liable to military service. Then
if the term of service is stated to be one
year or more than ninety days, there must
be the usual volunteering or drafting in
the states to fill these quotas as prevailed
during the civil war.
The seizure 'by the president of the or
ganized military arm of the states, na
tional guard or otherwise, would never
foe tolerated. ,
An attem.pt on the part of the president
to order the First and Second Gergia regi
ments to Tybee or elsewhere, in ease of in
vasion, without Governor Atkinson’s con
sent, would be revolutionary. (It would
foe placing at’once upon the Georgia troops
the immediate possibility of repelling an j
invasion, while the troops of Nebraska or j
(Missouri remain undistunbel until events j
force their participation in the struggle.
In ether words, if Spain, as she no doubt
would, should first attack our southern
coast, then southern tj’oops, being the most
easily available, could be ruslfed to the
front, while those in the north or west
could remain at home perhaps for an in
definite time.
And yet congress actually proposes to
confer such powers upon the president. If,
however. Governor Atkinson or any other
governor, refuse to comply with the pres
ident's ■demands, they would in all proba
bility be upheld by the supreme court—be
cause the extraordinary and revolutionary
powers conferred upon the president are
clearly unconstitutional.
Mrs. Richard Hoyle, of London, is just
a little hard on her sex. She says: “Where
fashion is concerned, the world of women
arc utterly callous and blind to every con
sideration except their own selfish vanity.”
It Rests With Governor Atkinson.
No matter what may be the Pardon
Board’s recommendation in the case of
■Mrs.* Elizabeth Nobles, the feeble-minded
old woman who is condemned to die on
the gallows next fc’riday, the responsibil
ity for her death or for commutation of
sentence, as the case may be, will rest
upon the governor of Georgia.
The Pardon Board can only make a re
commendation, kind this is not necessarily
binding on the governor, no matter what
it may be. If it is for commutation. Gov
ernor Atkinson must still receive credit
for this humane act. If the decision is for
death on the gallows, as already decreed,
Then still Governor Atkinson must accept
responsibility for abiding by the Board’s
decision.
Mr. Marion Harris, the brilliant young
attorney who has fought so valiantly and
so ably to, save the state of Georgia from
the disgrace of such an execution, empha
sized the governor’s responsibility in the
matter when arguing the case before the
I’ardon Board last week. In his speech
before the Board he said:
“I am conscientiously opposed to the
hanging of women and must emphatically
dissent from the judgment of my friend
Glenn, who says that demanding equal
rights in these latter days they must suf
err equal wrongs with men. Long years
ago a woman was hung in this state; and
Fate laid her 'heavy hand upon rhe head
of that governor who sat in the ehair of
state upon the day, more than thirty
years ago, when that young woman stood
on the gallows at Americus and gave up
her life to pay the penalty of her crime.
From that day to this the people have
called that governor—not the judge who
presided at the trial, nor the solicitor who
prosecuted, the case, nor any juror who
found the verdict, nor any justice of the
supreme bench, which affirmed it; but the
governor, who failed to commute the sen
tence, who having mercy in the hollow of
his hand yet withheld it—the people have
called that governor “the man who hung
a woman.” • • • Let this be a warn
ing to Georgia’s present governor that the
people of this great state are too brave
to allow again the fair name of Georgia
to be blotted with another ugly spot like
that which has marked and blackened her
■history since the day when Siir-an Eber
hardt swung from the end of a hangman’s
r°P«” .

The late for the r< tir men of Major-

He Didn’t Site.
The i ffort to t-nveigle Colonel Candler
into a three-eorencred debate in which his j
opponents would haw ine opening and ;
.■losing argumtnts: so :o speak, has fail* .1.
The people will he ar from Colonel Candler ;
in due time, but ft is not necessary that
he should give bis oppoin nts all the odds |
Nor is it incumbent upon bi n to draw the '
rttwda for his enemies. ,
The :i;ig organs urge that Colon- 1 Cane- 1
lei's refusal to play into the hau ls of his i
opponents is a sign of weakness. And yet I
it he were weak they wouldn’t be so 1
1 ay< r to bring about .• u -h an arrangement. :
And, strange to say, they are sorry that !
ae has betrayed what they are pleased to ;
wall his weakness. Verily, the ways of the
peanut politician are dark and incon
gruous.
The Atlanta Journal and the Macon Tel
egraph are sore over the fact that the

This fact will confirm the Democrats of
Georgia in tHb opinion that the early
primary is the right thing.
Able Bodied Pensioners.
In a sj.asm of patriotism G. A. R. de
partment. commanders throughout, the
country ate offering the president ten, fif
teen and twenty thousand abie-bodied
survivors of the Civil War as volunteers
to Spam.
These offers of so many able-bodied
veterans are not only inspiring from a
patriotic standpoint, but they are inter
esting from another standpoint, .is prac
tically every survivor who fought m or
followed the Union army during the civil
War is drawing a pen&ion for some
ability or other, it is highly interesting
to know that so many of them are ‘‘able
bodied” and eager for another fray.
As someone has observed, the mystery
of the pension system is inscrutable.
In a letter from Klondike to the Port
Huron (Mich.) Times, the writer says: ‘T
must be going back to our own perk and
beans, as $5 a meal is more than 1 can
stand. Some nun struck town today with
thirty-three cariboo and sold the bunch
for $1.50 per pound. Lamp oil is worth SSO
a gallon; candles have taken another
jump, and one of the dance halls has shut
up, as they have no light. Wood sells for
$25 to $35 per cord, and whisky from SSO
to SBO per gallon. Dogs are worth almost
■any price; any old kind of a dog will bring
from $l5O up. A good sleigh dog will
bring from S4OO to S6OO. A saloon was
robbed a tew nights ago of $23,0C0 in
gold.”
The United States consul at Amoy,
China, in a letter to the San
Bulletin, makes some startling statements
regarding the condition of things in that
country. He ridicules Germany’s emperor
and his brother, Prince Henry, and in re
lating the circumstances of England's ob
jection to Russia's occupation of Port
Arht'.tr, says: “It has been so long since
England fought a nation whose men wore
pantaloons that the sight of an anticipated
enemy that is not dressed in breechclout
or turban causes palpitation of the heart.”
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts', has in
troduced a hill to prohibit the importation
into the United States of birds or their
feathers for ornamental purposes, under a
penalty of SSO for each offense. But it is
doubtful if this bill will afford protection
to the American bird iXrlth ornamental
feathers. For women will follow the dic
tates of fashion, even if she has to accept
the home product.
■Emperor William having• gotten a good
sized slice out of the treasury of Hayti,
has now turned his attention to Liberia.
In other words, no nation is too small or
weak for the present vacillating ruler of a
great and powerful nation to bulldoze,

Minister Polo couldn’t bluff Judge Day.
When he asked the assistant secretary of
state if it was true that warships had
been purchased from Brazil, and on re
ceiving an affirmative reply, asked again
"What for?” Judge Day promptly respond
ed: • "To replace the ’Maine.”

day and night will he equal. In other
words, it was the vernal equinox.

Twain as s> Liar.
Mark Twain, 2n "More -Tramps
Abroad,” tells how he lied out of a con
troversy about Scottish dialect. In a dis
cussion with some strange Scots he re
marked that the peasantry pronounced
three “three,” and not “thraw.”
“There was a moment of astonished and
ominous silence; then weather ensued.
It was a bad defeat for me. It promised
to remain so, but I bad a saving
thought. While the storm was still rag
ing I made up a Scotch couplet and then
spoke up and said: ‘Very well! Don’t
say any more. I confess defeat. 1 thought
I knew, but I see my mistake. I was de- i
ceived by one of your Scotch poets.’ ‘A
Scotch poet! Oh, come! Name him.’
'Robert Burns. ’ It is wonderful the
power of that name. These men looked
doubtful—but paralyzed, all the same.
They were quite silent for a moment,
then one of them said, with the rever
ence in his voice which is always pres
ent in a Scotchman's tone when he ut
ters the name, ‘Docs Robbie Burns say
—what does he say?' ‘This is what be
says:
“ ‘There was nae bairns bitt only three—
One at the breast, twa nt the katv.'
It ended the discussion. There was n >
man there profane enough to say any
word against a thing which Robert
1 Burns had settled. There are people
who think that honesty is always the
I best policy. This is a superstition. ”
I have been afflicted with rheumatism

V. beii the reading of the paper was con

!;• st- Ei'.'wn p:.x’.-.i'-)an.- in town. Dr. Rob
ert li. M. Dawbarn said that until sur
geons hud learned of tiie experiment and
tho invention they had not known of any
satisfactory way of treating patients for
shock following surgical operations.
“Although-so great an advance has been
made in the science of surgery in the last
hundred years, ” said D) . Daw barn, “little
has been atltledtotbosurgeon’s knowledge
of treating shock. Many more persons
have died of the shock following tbo oper
ation than from all the other effects of the
<l; >t at ion combined. Now t hat we have
the)'suit of these expel 1 it.cuts and this
invention, we need no longer fear death
from shock. The doctor has experimented'
with a solution of salt in witter. When 1
learned of the result of his experiments, 1
procured one of his syringes fitted with the
double tube. I have used this in 12 or 14
cases In the hospital after serious major
operations. The operation performed, 1
would open a vein and irrigate it with the.
saline solution. In every case the patient
did not suffer from shock at all, and in
each ease the patient is now well. Ido
not think it would have been possible to
save some of these patients from death
from shock had I not known of the doc-'
tor’s appliance and his experiments. For
surgery I count what he has accomplished
almost equal to the discovery of the vac
cine virus.”—Now York Sun.
Looking Gut For the Future.
He was an odd.looking man. The prin
cipal of tbo educational institution was
prepared by his appearance for some un
usual ideas. Hy took off his fiat crowned
hat and making a bow observed:
“1 look like a crank, don’t I?”
’ "I—l don’t cai;e to venture an opinion,”
replied the principal.
“That’s till rir’it, sir. You won’t hurt
my feelings in tbo least. I have been
called a crank so ofter. that I’m used to
it. 1 \i. r,i< riy when I’d have an impression
that I badn t heard somebody else men
tion, I used to struggle to conceal it. But
I have got over that. tell my own
thoughts out pl-tialy and let people think
what they like. You attend to the educa
tion of young boys?”
“Yes'”
“Well, do you use copy books?”
“Yes.”
“Would money bo any inducement to
you to try and educate a boy without em
ploying them?”
“Why, 1 suppose wo could teach him to
write in some other way.”
“[don’t want you to. I desire him to
learn everything orally. If there is any
thing that positively demands a record,
you can put it in a phonograph and let
him keep the cylinder. 11l pay for it.
You see, he has an uncle in the diplomatic
service, and with his assistance 1 hope to
secure a similar career for this boy. My
heart is set on making a diplomat of him
and I wish to remove from his path every
possible temptation to write personal let
ters. That’s an idea that I got in the past
few days and, do you know, tho more I
think of it the more I suspect that maybe
