A body of Christian workers such as the Ep worth Lt-aguers, representing as they do, n vast body of members of the church mili tant whose influence in Georgia is tremen dous in very welcome to Macon. It is im portant that when they leave they should carry away with them a good impression of the people of the Central City. Our visitors today come from the Hills of ilabersham and from the marshes of Glynn. It kt a thoroughly representative gathering of people; not only do they rep resent the church but they -arc thoroughly representatives of the very best business element of the state. It is safe to say that Macon has never entertained a more thoroughly representative gathering of Georgians. It tak<« two people to make a bargain. What If the Cubans refused to accept an armistice. Where Spain is Weak. As the hour for a declaration of hostili ties approaches, questions of attack and defense assume the supremacy While it Is true that Cuba and the waters encircling Ihu Island will be the chief theater oi en gagements, it must be remembered that Bpain has other insular possessions in va rious parts of tiie globe. These groups of islands are easily assailable. The follow ing array will s<rve to give an adequate <-oneeption of 'the (Klints at which Spu.iu would bo vulnerable: (a) —lsland of Puerto Rico. It has an area of 3,520 square miles and a popula tion of nearly 1,000,000, of which three fifths are white. It is exceptiomaliy fer tile and has one of the finest harbors (San Juan diautis-ta) in the West Indies. (b) -The Canaries. The seven principal Islaivda cover an area of 3,256 square miles wnd hav-e a population of 300,000. The soil is fertile, sugar, corn and potatoes being tho chief productions. These islands have been coveted by England for four centu ries. She could utilize them to great ad vantage, as constituting a station on one of the routes to India. (c.) —Tire Balearic Isles. They comprise, approximately, 2,000 square miles, with a population of 350,000. (Majorca (the largest of the group) has an annual import trade Os $8,000,000. Its twin (Minorca) boasts of She best harbor in the Mediterranean, that of Port Mahon. Any one of the great Powers of Europe would like to own the Island of Minorca. (d)-—-The 'l'hillinpines. There are over 400 of these islands, the area of the largest (Luzon) being 40,024 square miles. Manila, the capital, has a population of 160.000. (Most of the natives are Malays, with a large resident Spanish population. Gold mining is extensively carried on. The principal products are hemp, sugar, coffee, Jobaeeo leaf and indigo. In 1894 the total" Imports were $28,530,000. This will give an idea of the value of these islands. <e)~ Now turning to the Iberian Penin sula Itself, it can be seen that a Power possessing the command of the sea could subject to bombardment such cities as Barceioaa, Cadiz, Valencia (it is only Ihree miles inland), Alicante, Cartegena, .Coruna, San Sebastian and Santander. As Daniel Webster said: “There may be blows to take as well as blows to give.” Madrid papers have for weeks been harp ing on our unprotected coasts. They have been quick to perceive the mote, but are blind to the beam. As soon as all of Gpaln’e outlaying possessions have been captured, attention could be directed to Jive vulnerable objectives on the mainland. The interview given out from the Cuban Junta yesterday may have been bought. If it was, and the probability is that it was, the move was a very shrewd one. If the people of these United States believe It. the effect will be to neutralize public (sentiment. , Wilhelm May Meddle. Kaiser Wilhelm, of Germany, is appa rently anxious to gratify his propensity for international meddling by putting his fin der into the Cuban pie. Even the United States had never heard of the case until the German demand upon Spain was made. Cannemaba is the name of a sugar refin ery in Cuba owned and operated by Ger man subjects. The insurgents raided and burned it, looted the safe, killed four per sons and wounded others. Germany now puts in a claim for reparation and dama geae against the Spanish government, coupled with the information that if Spain could not punish the insurgents for their act, then she will do it herself; and the cruiser Geier is dispatched to the island to carry out the threat. X\e can only conjecture the outcome of this. It may be that Germany will ’get herself involved in the dispute between Spain and the United (Sates. It might be within the range of possibilities for Spain ta unload her claim to the island upon the German (Emperor. The Cincinnati Times btar fears some such outcome,' and says: If Spam is forced to give up Cub% she will make every effort to give it to an European power, rather than to allow it to be independent or attached in anv way to the United States. This German indem nity claim is her opportunity. “We admit the claim, but being financially embar rassed. we will give you a mortgage on the island, where you can collect indemnitv yourself.” Thus Cuba will become a second Kiao- Tchou. and Gomez will find himself fac ing Krupp guns and Prussian helmets. Os course, these things are remote pos sibilities. for the United States, and prob ably England would have a word to say about German control of the West Indies would, nevertheless, the a master stroke on the part of decrepit Spain to get the pugnacious William to take up a fight that •he is about to give up under any circum stances. 'And it is by no means likely that William, with his head full of the divine right of kings, would be delighted to •trangle a new republic and insult the pbampjQQ pl all republics. All Right, So Far, If General Lee has asked for delay, the I president was bound to grant it. That's all there*is about it. And this talk about the delay and the desire on the part of the president to wobble out of a difficult situ ation —in other wonte to avoid war at any price—may be dispelled at any moment by the sending in of a message giving the proper advice to congress. We fail to see how the president of the United States j •ouid d. lay the sending in of his tnr soage once prepared, on any ether grounds than a request from the consul in Cuba. If he ' has delayed the message on any other • ground he will have incurred the con- ; tempt of his own party and will bring i down upon this country the sneers of the whole world. Part we do not believe that the president could have made such a fatal i mistake. We believe that General Lee ! has asktd for delay aud that the president I very properly has granted it. Had it been otherwise, congress would not nave been field off for five minutes. So far McKinley has done wisely in not doing anything, but he must do something That message mast go in. It it does not the Republican party is doomed. A Cuban, living in Havana, a man of re sponsibility and in a position to know the sentiment of those bearing insurgent arms and those that govern and control the in surgent forces, states in a letter to a prominent Cuban in Jacksonville, that un der no condition, except absolute indepen dence and liberty, will they lay down their arms. No matter oif the whole world says that they shall, no matter if the combined armies of Europe shall conspire to force them, the insurgents, he says, will not yield, but will suffer complete extermina tion first. The Cubans seem to think that we are taking them into consideration. The United States will wipe the Spanish oft 'the face of the Western H( misphere whether the Cubans believe It or not. We have no special love for the Cubans or any of their I Infolk and what’s more, we don't want Cuba. “Tomorrow, tomorrow, and not today,” that’s what Hanna would have him say.

Mr. Cotter is a prominent member of the LaGrange bar, and should he be elected promises to give his best efforts for the good of Troup coun ty and her citizens. Mr. Cotter is a grad uate of Emory College and is well quali fied to fill the position to which he aspires. Chairman J. S. Powell, of the Coweta county executive committee, has decided that, unless there is a demand on the part of the people he will not call his commit tee together until June 7th, the day after the state primary. At that lime the date for a primary for county offices, including the legislature. will be fixed. Chairman Powell takes the position that all counties should conform to the recommendation of the state committee in fixing Jone 6th for a general primary, and that action on the part of the county committee is un necessary.

The Modern Custom is to Omit the Procla mation. The popular notion that a formal declar -ation of war is necessary before active hostilities 'begin is slightly erroneous. In these modern days the- announcement is often dispensed with. In what Macauiey called the “days of old,” a declaration of war was a solemn function. In mediaeval times one royal warrior sent a letter (signed by the ruler, (but written by a cler ical scriviner) or warning and -defiance. This was elaborating the -custom which ruled in private quarrels of “throwing down the gauatlett.” In the Russo-Turkish war, which pre ceded the Crimean war, the Czar issued from Moscow a forma! proclamation of war. In 1854 Great Britain and France fought Russia. In that year the High Sheriff of London made the announcement of war from the steps of the Exchange. In the Au&ro-Itaiian war in 1859, the Austro-Prussian war of 1866, and the (Russo-Turkish war of 1877, active hostili ties begun on the same day of the de claration of war. Coming to the Franco- Prussian war of 1870, a formal declaration was made before actual operations were under way. On July 20th Bismarck laid before the North German 'Confederation the French government’s intimation of what it intended to do. Os course, Prussia and her allies were prepared and the se quel showed how thorough had been their preparation. While it is true that the modern custom is to omit the proclamation, one must not get a wrong impression. War may declare itself. In such instances the combatants understand each other. However, if one nation captures the ship of another on the high seas and such capture had not been preceded by a “fuss,” misunderstanding of diplomacy or other indication of com ing hostilities, the capture alluded to would 'be declared an act of piracy.
