Moved by love of God and his fellow man. a- naled t»y humane motives, realiz ing Lie lafulm.'S and horrot of a bloody wai end bearing hi mind the Divine In junction. **£lle.ssed are tine p<ac< makers, there Is in Europe an old man, now past three wore and ten, but with a brain still as colossal and active as any of tin pres ent century, tyho views 'the threatened conflict between the United Slates and Spalu as a deplorable affair, and .something which all humane and Christian people should endeavor to prevent. As one far removed from political or worldly taint, and therefore the most in dependent and most impartial of arbitra. tors, this old man ihas, tn a spirit of great kindness, very courteously offered to act as mediator between tile two countries, with a view to preventing useless blood shed. Tim master minds of all ages have ever looked upon the popes as desirable arbi trators and counselors in matters of this kjnd. 'Not because of atty right of au thority possessed by their church nor by reason of any superiority of the Cath olic church over any otiher; but because of the established character and capacity of the man himself and the advantage which his position gives him where absolute neu trality and Impartiality are desired. If the Methodist, 'Baptist, Episcopal, iPresbyterlan or any other church had at its head a universal bishop, the nature of whose position guaranteed absolute im partiality as .between the different nations of the world, then the head of either of these churches would be as desirable an arbitrator as the Pope, and it would lie their Christian duty to offer their ser vices as peacemaker whenever the oppor tunity to prevent useless bloodshed pre sented itself. For. after all, nations are like individ uals, and there is not a conscientious minister of God living, of whatever denom ination, who would not attempt to prevent a ditlleulty between two individuals should the opportunity be presented. If today a Catholic citizen and a Baptist citizen were ■to become involved in a dispute which threatened bloodshed, perhaps inurdet, and a Methodist minister chanced to pass by. would the latter stop to ask the de nomination of the <wo combatants before attempting to make peace between them? And would the combatants resent his offer of mediation because he was not of their denomination. How silly, how unchris tian-like it would be do stickle over suen trifles. (And yet there are a few narrow minds who see in the Pope's efforts to make peace between this country and Spain a serious affront—perhaps even a dark, cun ning conspiracy against t.he United States. (How sad that these minds cannot burst their small shells and widen and expand. Siow sad that they must forever grovel in bigotry and malice while other minds soar in the higher realm of brotherly love and charity. Fortunately there are not many of these former. The majority of people, unless blinded by passion, can see the wisdom and justice of any sort of mediation that promises beneficent results without unnec essary bloodshed. We dare say there rs not a true Christian of any denomination, be he preacher or layman, priest or parish ioner, who "does not desire a peaceable dis position of the issue which now disturbs both this country and Spain. Their reli gious Instincts, t.he humane feeling which Christianity begets, all prompt an ab horrence of war and the consequent sacri fice of human lives. To be consistent, therefore, these Chris •tians, of whatever denomination, would welcome mediation from whatever source. And, whether they agree with the tenets and dogmas of the Catholic church or not. they cannot fail to recognize in its chief bishop a man eminently fitted by nature, 'by education, by environments and by di vine grace, to act as mediator between na tions, factions or individuals. This, in our humble judgment, is all ■there is to the Popo's offer of mediation. It is for the individual to decide whether he will take issue with God and say "Cur sed is the peacemaker—if he is the Pope,” or whether he subscribe to the divine in junction and say, "Blessed is the peace maker”—whoever he may be. If Christianity " teaches forbearance, if t hristianity teaches peace, if Christianity is opposed to bloodshed, then Christians, of whatever denomination, must applaud the < hrlstian, whoever he may be and of denomination, who attempts 'to make peace between his fellow-men. The autonomy which the Spanish gov ernment granted to the people of Puerto Hico is proving a failure through the greed of the colonial government and the mili tary, notes the Birmingham News. There are threats of an uprising in that Island, and if the United States and Spain become involved in war and Cuba secures its inde pendence. Puerto Rico may also become t The Puerto Rieans "ould. no doubt, seize the opportunity to rebel and endeavor to obtain their independence. Coast Fortifications. The coast fortification plans, now under a> by the United States, and which haver recently been and are now being rapidlv m r , lXlUiring the fortifying of 104 battery locations in about twen.’v aeven harbors on the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coast. These will require for equip, ment 469 heavy guns, with calibre from S to 1_ inches. There are a half dozen or so at New York et. al. of sixteen inch bore the largest guns on the works. There will be 982 twelve meh mortars ami also 64’ rapid-fire guns of various calbres. Each heavy gun requires eighteen men for the proper management. Seventy coast bat teries are nearing completion, some of them are in full working order, 232 heavy guns and 254 mortars, tn all 476 of both classes. The men will number with rhe two regiments, 4,585. Artillery men must, before enlistment, show a good knowledge of mathematics. t The American people, irrespective of party, consider Mr. McKinley a good man personally, and Irft to himself would do what the nation wants, but they have witnessed with sorrow chat one word from tMark Hanna has more weight with him tha£ aU the balance of the country. Echols to the Rescue. Along with other current war news .■•omes the report that J. Echols, of Atlan ta, has suddenly mobilized himself and moved to Washington for the purpose, ac cording to his own statement, “of investi gating the report about the Pope’s offer of mediation between this country and Spain. If it D true, says J. Echols, “I shall issue ■a <;r dial to he in mber- of our ord-r” meaning what is left of the A‘. P. A. This news >s .encouraging. 1; makes it quite dear now that war will have to come, whether the heads of government want it or not. As long as things were moving along at a red hot pace in the di rection of war, J. Ethols was content to remain inactive and allow things *to run themsilvez, but a;- -.oon as there was talk of peace, J. Echols went at once into a state of eruption. » • As the head of the organized bigotry and assinity of the country, J Echols conceiv ed it his duty to move on Washington without further delay. Ho left yesterday and, recording to the railway time tables, he ought to have increased the freak pop ulation of Washington at an early hour this morning From the modest manner in which he proclaims his mission, it is to tie supposed he has already called on the President and Secretary of State, and has demand! d of them all the facts in con nection with the Pope’s offer of mediation. I his i- based on the supposition that he was not kicked out by the servants before being allowed to make an of himself in person Having finished his investigation, which, perhaps, revealed the fact that the Pope, a Christian man, hail sought to use his office to prevent the useless sacrifice of lives, J. Ethols is probably now engaged in Issuing his circular to the members of his order. Tn the meantime, the \meri'an people, the people of Spain an 1 of al! the other nation:, of Europe anxiously await the out come of that circular. Upon it depends peace or war. If J. Eehol- and “the mem bers of his order” shall throw the weight of their influence for war, then war is in deed inevitable. The prayers and counsel of tens of thousands of Christians, who wish to see prevented useless bloodshed and horrors of war, will count for naught, and .1. Ech ols and his gang will thrust the nation into a struggle that will cost thousands of lives and millions of money. They will do it, if for no other reason, just to rebuke the Pope. But when war comes our citizens, yotuig men and old, are called to the front, to ex pose themselves to danger, perhaps death, in defense of tihe nation, .1. Echols and. his crowd of patriots will skulk away like-the cowardly coyotes they arc. For brave men do not conspire in secret against their fel lows, nor persecute others Mor remaining true to the religion which was taught them at their mother’s knee. But why pursue the varments further? They can do no harm. They only snarl and show their teeth. And in this in stance J. Echols is like the other little dog that barked at Lee’s army. And he will continue to bark and snarl until his owner,’the devil, calls him off—-and keeps him from biting the army. The best advice that can be given to lhe farmer at this time is to plant bread stuffs as fast as he can. There is yet a chance lo save lhe South from a great dial of suffering in the event of war. The price . of all breadstuff* will go up at once and the price of cotton will go down, but this is planting season and Hie farmer of Geor gia has the remedy in his own hands. If he fails to take this advice and there is war there will be a great deal of suff' ring till over the country. It is no use making any bones about this, it is true and it is no use listening to those who say that there will lx; no war; they do not kno.w anything about it; in their case the wish is simply father to the thought. The chanw s are that there will be war, and in that event every pound of food that can be raised will be so much money saved to the people of the South. If we care to do it we can raise breadstuffs to sell but cer tainly we should raise enough to feed our selves instead of paying war prices for everything and that is what it will amount to. Don't listen to the fellows who tell jon of what the South did during the last war. All that experience will not put bread into the mouths of the children during the present war. The hoy's down at Brunswick are making their v. ills and sharpening their cutlasses. From the look of the list of the members of tin- two Companies of naval reserves in the City by the Sea there will bo nothing left but the 'Brunswick Riflemen amt a few of tlie men who are over age to pro tect the town when the naval reserves walk out. Tlie carnival will just come in time to celebrate the freedom of Cuba. But it will take some preparation to get it in shape for a really good carnival and celebration of the double event, which will include Macon’s Diamond Jubilee. Remember what a good carnival the last one was and don’t forget, that it will take money to carry out the plans for the car nival next fall. The work of the finance committee is the most important of all. The people of IM.icon are now looking at maritime news from the Ocmulgee line of steamers with as much lack of curiosity as if they had been accustomed to toe thing all the time. TO INSTALL OFFICERS.
