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 Is a jewel rather than diamonds. —Hatton 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 what would be our plight our naval equipment were only that which we had in JBB3, pointedly asks 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. Spain has. purchased a lot of American mules, notes an exchange.’ And that is one on Spain. 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. ' , Says the Adairsville Banner: “Don’t for get to plant corn, peas, potatoes and all feed and forage crops. No cotton.

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 Tribune.

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. • —New York Ledger.
