What the River Can Do.
The Columbus Enquirer-Shm lias a very
interesting editorial ,on the value of a
navigable river to an inland city, it say 8
the advantage of river navigation to an
interior city In securing a reduction of
freight rates cannot be ovcre-stiuiaK d.
Tin* Enquirer-Sun refers to a rec< nt spe
cial from the* town of Hawkinsville, Ga.,
which gives some interesting data illus
trating tile value of such water connec
tions.
In 1896 a small steamer on that river
made a trip to Savannah from Hawkins
ville with a cargo of cotton, which result
ed almost Immediately afterward in a re
duction of 25 cents per bale for cotton
transportation by railroad. The Hawkins
ville people now boast that the outgrowth
of this first cargo of eotton is the presence
of three regular steamboats on the river
plying between that point mil the coast.
These boats make a trip to the coast and
return in a week, the carrying capacity of
the three being sixty ear loads, and their
cargoes consist oi naval stores, cotton and
merchandise to be transported along the
river, and from points on the river to
Brunswick.
The dispatch to which reference has
been made says that as an instance of
what this river navigation is doing for
Hawkinsville may be cited title case of a
shipment of 260 barrels of cotton seed oil
from tiiat city tb New York via Brunswick
at the rate of one dollar per barrel. The
rate, heretofore, it says, itas been $1.15,
which produced the neat saving to the
mills of sll7 on the 260 barrels of
further states that the reduction of i 1.5
cents on a bale of eotton which was se
cured from the railroads by reason of river
competition was sacrificed by the city in
order that the merchants might secure
■better rates on goods front the western
markets. Tills was done by entering a
<:ampac|. with the roads, boats agreeing
to haul no more eotton to the u».it pro
vided the railroads would make i< a unable
freight rates on these goods from western
markets.
Commenting on these facts the En
quirer-Sun maks some points that are
quite as applicable to Macon as to Colum
bus. It says:
"These statements of the situation at
Hawkinsville illustrate, as we have said,
the great value of river competition with
the railroads. Here in «*iumbus we have
felt lo some extent the benefits accruing
from this competition, but these benefits
have not been as important and far reach
ing as they should have been, because of
■the fact that our river has been neglected,
»t times during the dry season, it being
impossible for navigation to be continued.
In order that we may get the greatest
•benefit, it is important that the river be
kept open the year round. Already the
nttention of the board of trade is turned
In that direction and Congressman Adam
son. notwithstanding the fact that the
river and harbor bill docs not provide for
improvements of our river, believes that
he will be able to get the government to
keep it open during the entire summer. lie
ahould be given all support needed from
this city. The city may do a great injus
tice to itself in not taking every advantage
of the river upon which .. is the Ik. id of
navigation. The expense of keeping it open
would not be very great, even in the dry
»‘St. season, as was demonstrate d last sum
mer by the work which Mr. Adamson was
fortunate enough to have done at the im
passable points below the city. Let us
keep the river open. It is a great agent
by which we will be able to secure our
rigts in the matter of rates."
The little ring peanners think it awful
that Flein dußignon (now standing on the
Chicago platform) should be for Colonel
Candler, but they rejoice in every iosue
that the Macon Telegraph. Atlanta Jour
nal. and several others who have not yet
"got up on" the Chicago platform should
be for Atkinson and Berner. Consistency

Argus.
Bribery in China.
A Shanghai special announces that a
person of the highest rank has memorial
ized the Emperor of China in the most
vigorous language, accusing the whole
Tsung-Li-Yatnen. (Chinese foreign ottice.)
of being in pay of Russia. He asserts that
Russia expended 10.000,000 taels in brib
ery during the recent negotiations re
garding the cession of Port Arthur and
Ta-Lien-Wan, etc., and claims that Lt
ilung-Chang’s sare was 1.500.000 taels.
Thereupon the personage referred to de
mands a full investigation and asks that
Li-Hung-Chang be beheaded if the accu
sations are proven, the memoralizer of
fering to be executed himself if his charges
are not sustained. The Chinese complain
bitterly of .the fact that they do not pos
sess a war pot* tor the five warship which
are being ‘built for them abroad, and which
are due to arrive in Chinese waters this
summer. Unless Wai-Hai-Wei. occupied
®y the Japanese, is evacuated, which is
‘’oubtful. the Chinese have no place in
which to receive their new .warships.
he Russians have permitted two British
gunsboats to enter and leave Port Arthur
freely.
The suspicion that bribes were used to
bring about the re. ent concessions of Chi
na is probably well founded. For the rea
son that bribe taking j s a common practice
among Chinese officials, from hi-hest
to the lowesft. In fact, it is impossible to
secure official action in China without bri
bery, and the Chinaman who has fitted
himself for public office also spends a for
tune to secure that office tn the hope of
making it back through bribes, after he
has been installed.
In no other way can Li-Hung-Chang’s
immense fortune be accounted for. En
tering public life a poor man, he has
emassed a fortune which is one of the larg
est in the world. In Li’s case it is hardly
necessary to ask, “‘Where did he get it?**
t
l or fifteen years the construction of our
new navy has been carried on against a
great deal of popular indifference, if not
opposition. and appropriations for the
work have been grudgingly given. But

equipment were only that which we had in

The Missing Business Link.
Men who arc just beginning to advertise
are sometimes found skeptidnl aa to its
• Iu“. If hi irenp... ■m r be carefully
gone over, on< is always certain to find a
missing link in the chain. And, in nine
times out of ten, that missing link will
prove to be lack of circulation.
Why spend money for advertising in a
paper which ha:-: no effective circulation? ’
It is simply thrown away. There are two
things to 1 be always considered in select
ing a medium for giving your business i
publicity. Th- first .< circulation; the see- .
onJ. th£ onaraeter of that, circulation.
The News possesses both. Its circulation ;
in Macon and vicin :y, from whence Macon
merchants draw 90 per cent of their trade, ■
greater than fa at of any pap-r that cir- ■
cuiatea tn tin. - antrauntiy. it is of the ;
best class, for this paper goes into the j
homes of the people. It reaches far more I
people of the class from -.vbkdi customers '
must, come than any other .Macon paper.
'it this ■critical time the people want a I
reliable n- wspaper. whi< h carries all the j
”■ of the day. This requirement is. met I
Tile News and tin pffbiic so under
stands ft. No cheap schemes are needed
to induce people to subscribe. The paper
■peaks for itself, and the steady increase
in circulation tells the Test.
Now is the time to push spring trade by
generous advertising. The increasing cir
culation makes The News still more'
valuable as an advertising medium.

Lincoln’s A. P. A, Illustration.
Some ym-.athizer with I’ret id-nt Mc-
Kinley in the .trying times he is passing
through, has found in the life of Abraham
Lincoln an incident tiidt is timely, says
the Augusta Chronicle, it is given in the
New York Tribune as fellows:
"At the Whitehouse one day some gen
tlemen were present from the West, ex
cited and troubled about the commission or
omission of the administration. The
president heard them patiently and then
replied: ‘Gentlemen, suppose all the
property you were worth was in gold, aijd
you had put it in the hands of Glondin to
carry across the Niagara river on a rope,
would you shake the cable er keep shout
ing out to him, “Blondin, stand up a lit
tle straighter; Blondin, stoop a little more;
go a little faster: lean a little more to the
north; lean a littie more to the south?’
■No, you would hold your breath as well
as your tongue, and keep your hands off
until he was safe over. The government
is carrying an immense weight. Untold
treasures are in their hands. They are
doing the very best they can. Don’t bad
ger them. Keep silent, and we’ll get you
safe across." ’ —Raymon’s Life of Abra
ham Lincoln, page 752.”
Says the Americus Herald: Douglass
Glessner has been anxiously asking when
Mr. Candler would answer Judge Atkin
son’s last letter. Douglass now knows.
By the way, isn’t Glessner taking a good
deal of interest in Atkinson’s warfare
when he, Glessner. is an ardent supporter
o£ Mr. Berner? Anything to down Mr.
Candler. What a flimsy game the ring men
are trying to play.
Colonel H. 11. Cftrlton has retired from
tne editorship of the Athens Banner, and
the paper will now support Atkinson for
governor. Either one of these blows was
enough, but, as if to make matters even
worse, the editorial conduct of the paper
will now be atempted by T. W. Reed, its
former city editor. ' ,

feed and forage crops. No cotton.

THE NATIONAL CAPITOL.
It Couth at I.cast #30,000 a Year to Keep
the Big Building In Repair.
It costs $:;<!,000 n ye.tr to maintain Un
cle Sam's $14,000,000 building on Capitol
hill. That is tbe amount congress allows
every year for mecbtinit s tind laborers, for
brushes and. hardware and lumber, for
tiles and grate bars and ail the other sup
plies n<e‘.psar> to keep tho capilol in re
pair.
For improvements congress has appro
priated an avciagu of 835,000 a year in the
ten years just past, and much of that has
been spent in the last 12 months. Fifty
live thousand dollars has been used to
transform tho senate’s system of ventila
tion tmd 815,000 to introduce electric light
in the buildiijg and grounds. For the
current year other changes are planned.
There is always something unfinished
about tho capitol. A few years ago the
most noticeable incompleteness was in the
terrace on the west-front of the building.
That is completed now But the painter'*!
ugly scaffold hanging in the rotunda
draws attention to the still unfinished
Brumidi frieze, and in the basement of
the senate wing tho abrupt termination of
the brilliant tropical, wall decoration is a
constant source of sun rise.
Chance is responsible for the incom
pleteness of the wall paintings. They were
begun many years ago by an artist of rare
merit, lie grew tired of tho work or he
died—no one about the capital can say atu
curately winch. At all events bo disap
peared from tho scene, and the walls of
the senate wing remain beautiful in some
spots and bare in others. The beautiful
spots have been cleaned and renewed re
cently by \V. H. Duckstoin. Mr. Duck
stein has added also to the cleanliness of
what is known to the irreverent as the
chamber of horrors by.cleaning the mar-»
ble statues there.
The delay in completing the frieze is not
a matter of chnr.ce it is due to a dispute
in the committee on library over the im
portance of tutain i - cuts tn national his
tory This frieze, b.euun by Brumidi, an
Italian ants'., in ls7S, was only partly
done at ti e t me c:' his ec-tt.h in 1882. The
hanging sctt'.mld on which Brumidi did
iris last work remained its place a long
time until another Italian, Uostaggini,
was employed to carry out Bruuiiui’s de
signs.
What is represented by the itnmiaJ ap
propriation of §Bu,OCO and in tho year
by the special tippropriiitions of 855,0<H)
and $15,000 is ni t ali tiiat it takes to run
the capitol and grounds. Care of the
grounds costs SI2,O>X) a year, steam beat
ing and machinery for the senate $4,600,
the lightmg of the building and grounds
aud of the botanic gardens opposite $36,-
7t>2 and the operation of the engine house
and stables $2,000.
But for the building itself the cost of
maintenance is S3O,(XH) a year, or, includ
ing rhe improvements, $55,000. Some
business men figure repairs and improve
ments at Hl per cent of the value of tho
building, agfi the actual cost of the capitol
to date has been $14,000,01'0. —Chicago

Tb.<- Making of Plat® Glass.
To cast a sheet of plate glass is m
model:. hands ave; y feimpie atrair. A ta
ble is prepared, wish sides luatie of strips
of iron, forming a shallow, level tank.
Into this the mciicn glass, which is made
from the v.bitest sand, gloss fragments,
lime, liiangsiii soda, cobalt and other
chemicals, is poured. Immediately the
operator her ins smoothing ant: lew'ling
the mass Wit h a great -iron roller, which
brings it down exactly to the level of the
iron rim. It is then pur. through anneal
ing and tempering .-e.-ses, which occupy
several days. After this it is ground to a
perfectly uniform thickness, then polished
until it acquires the utmost brilliancy.
The cost of glass is greatly increased in
proportion to its size. This is due to the
fact that a large sheet may turn out im
perfect flaws and ripples, which utterly
destroy its value as a strictly first class
commodity. Small pieces are cut from the
perfect places in the large plate, and in
this way tha most serious loss is avoided.

and highly respected citizen of Cleve
land, 0., was for years a suiTerer from

his weakened condition, resulting from
tiie above causes, he had the additional

serious, when he commenced to take P.
P. s’., Lippman’s Great Remedy. Its
effects were marked and immediate.

Cure for all the distressing complaints
from which 1 suffered.
My system was also full of Malaria
and iny condition was growing very
serious; I had no appetite, was losing
strength and was completely broken
down in health, but now my health is
completely restored, and I can eat like
a field laborer, without the slightest
fear of any serious results.
1 take great pleasure in telling the
world that P. P. P. did the grand work
of restoring me to my accustomed
health. Yours truly,
JAMES S. HARRISON,
Cleveland, O.
