It may be 100 late now to discuss the matter any fuilher, but It U none the lew Intertsling to note the probable outcome of the new method of elecUing our supe i mr court judge* by the people. The News has before shown up the evils of such a system, but the people seemed bent on having it. We are still of the opinion, however, that they will see the unwisdom of the new system beloie they have gone very far. The News lias before <-all<d attention to the disgraceful prac tices in vogue in Tennessee, where judges are elected by popular vole. And now comes an instance from Alabama, which serves to illustrate the danger of the new system. From yesterday’s Birmingham N< ws we lake the following editorial ex tract: "A judge, in large degree, has in his keeping the rights of property, liberty and life of every citizen. A judge Is the most ImiHirtant official the people are called upon to select. Prudence and calmness should characterize the voter in selecting u Judge. Brass bands to collect a crowd ■are out of place in a judicial contest. Ap peals to class prejudice's should never be resorted to in i«olitics, especially not in a judicial campaign. Unfair methods, such as quoting private and personal conversa tions. are unworthy instruments with which io elevate any candidate to the office of judge. The managers of Mr. Harsh have utilized brass bands, appeals to class prejudice and private conversations.” Brass bands and political heelers to whoop it up for a judicial candidate! How do you like the spectacle? And yet that Is what it is bound to come to. As bad as It w.as, we are still of the opinion that legislative log rolling is pre ferable to a scramble for office among the people. The judiciary of Georgia will not long remain dignified and above reproach, once' "brass bands” and "appeals to preju dice” become necessary to the eleclion of « Judge. Wo are of the opinion that Georgia will very ’soon get enough of the new system. May the standard be not irretrievably lowered before that time. Ilion. O. 11. Stevens, the winning candi date for commissioner of agriculture, was in Macon today, and, after a few hours' conference with his friends, left for Mil ledgeville. Mr. Stevens is making the liveliest campaign of any of the state house candidates now in the field, and things are coming his way about as rapid ly as he could ask. 1865—Ninth of April—lß9B. ’ On the !>th of April, 1865, General Robt. E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox. On the Sth of April, 1898, General Fitzhugh Lee leaves Havana, thereby clearing the decks for action, so to speak, in the war between 'the United States and Spain, now about to begin. Just thirty-three years have interven ed and yet this great country is as firmly reunited as if there had been no trouble between the states. The Lee who leaves’Havana today is the same Lee who fought the Union thirty odd years ago. and a member of that fami ly which helped to make glorious our Southern arms. And yet for several years vast he has been the worthy representa tive of this government in storm-tossed •Cuba, and is now the hero of the hour, by reason of his unwavering courage and pa trioitic devotion to duty. ' Time has indeed wrought many changes. Not stranger nor more gratifying things have occurred since today thirty-three years ago than this. The 9th of April, 1865—Lee—Appomattox I The 9th of April. 1898—‘Lee—.Havana, Is anything more eloquent of changed conditions, of a reunited country? Who can dare to wave the bloody shirt again? Says the Dalton Argus: "Colonel Cand ler is right. Either Spencer Atkinson is neglecting the duties of his office, or there are no duties attached to the office. If the first. Spencer is unworthy of promotion; if the second, why not stop a leak by saving ■ome of that $2,500 salary?" He is Risen. Tomorrow marks the second greatest event in the history of the world—the resurrection of Christ. As His coming promised peace and salvation, so His resurrection was the fulfillment of all of these premises, and a new world was born when the words were pronounced "He is risen.” And yet tomorrow will witness the prob able beginning of a struggle, between two great nations of the earth, that will in tolve. perhaps, die sacrifice of many lives, untold suffering, cruelty and barbarity. And the participants in this un-Christian- Jike struggle two Christian nations. may wc ask - was n for this that Christ rose again? Surely, it would seem that in this enlightened day the minds of men would revolt at the thought of such as war must entail. And yet we find Christian men and women applauding 'very act that brings the fatal day nearer and condemning the interference'of those who. moved by a spirit of Christianity and humanity would prevent this bloodshed. Me find Christian bodies passing resolu tions in opposition to such interference the peace-maker condemned by those who teach Blessed are the peace-tn tker.” And why? Because, forsooth, the peace maker is not of their drtiominat'.on. Is this, indeed, the end for which Christ was born, labored and suffered? For which ! tie has crucified and resurrected? Tomor row when we raise our voices in rejoicing for the Risen King let us ask ourselves these questions. Is this Christianity? The Macon correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution tells his paper of a conference held in this city on Thursday night be tween Judge Atkinson and Hon. R. L. Berner. The conference Is said to have been held in the Macon Telegraph's office No more appropriate place could be found for the signing of articles of agreement for a joint debate. The Telegraph's "neu trality entitles it to the confidence of the two opposition candidates. But of no one else. 1 Mr. McKinley seems to have slipped the Fleeing From Cuba. The seriousness of the situation and the ; state of feeling both in this country and Cuba are fully demonstrated by the pres ' ent exodus of Americans from Cuba. The necessity for this step does not ex ist in the law of nations nor with our treaties with Spain. But it seems to be necessary, nevertheless, and this fact only shows how powerless is the Spanish gov ernment to maintain order on the island. The law as to the expulsion of subjects of the enemy, as stated by Woolsey, is as follows: ‘ The usage Is now general, if not fixed with the single exceipiion of measures of retortion, to allow the subjects of the en emy to remain within the territory during good behavior in the enjoyment of their property, or to give them by public proc lamation, reasonable time to remove their effects from the country.” And yet the feeling is such in Cuba that the Americans dare not trust to the law of nations, but must leave at once, thereby sacrificing their interests and suffering great hardships. Can there be any further doubt of the fact that the Irrevocable step has been taken; that, in. effect, war has already been declared! Next week even mav hear the sound of the guns. War is inevitable. i he- New York Journal’s suggestion that SIIO,OOO be taken out of the fifty mil lion emergency appropriation and be used to purchase of Mark Hanna those notes so that 'McKinley can be president himself, is a good one, thinks the Chattanooga News. It would be money well expended. What a fine thing it would be for Tybee to be able to pull off a naval battle in sight of the beach as its star attraction for the season of ’9B. We give Billie Bohan the suggestion for what it is worth, and without the hope of an invitation to at tend. , Here is an item for the thirsty: “The wine cellars at the Crystal palace, includ ing the accommodation for bottled beer, are over a mile in length. Just like Atlanta. Trying to pose as a center for this Spanish-American scrap. And it, in all probability, a naval war, too. The meanest man on earth has been found at'last. He is deaf and has never told his barber. Macon is flying the Spanish colors from eveiy building and Hag pole. But she is still loyal. The fellows who have been for war at any price will now hunt their holes. Judge Atkinson and his forlorn hope spent last night in Macon. What a chance is this to get. rid of Coxoy and his army. Johnny, get your gun. Politics in Georgia. Judge Atkinson has no speaking ap pointments for Thursday and will spend the day with his friends at Jesup and Waycross. The ‘Populists are taking an “initiative and referendum” party vote to see who is to succeed Hon. Torn Watson as their can didate for governor. Colonel William L. Peek, who ran for the same office in 1892, and who is the present Populist candidate for commissioner of agriculture, is thus far ahead of his competitors in the vote, and will almost unquestionably be nomi nated. The Populist executive committee will meet in this city next Wednesday to fix the date for the reassembling of the state convention. Hon. William A. ‘Dodson, of Sumter, who seems to have his race for the pres idency of t'he x senate well in hand, was wel comed in town by his many friends yes terday. ‘A large number of Jonesboro people have arranged to go over to Fayetteville to hear ■Colonel Candler speak there today. The Oglethorpe Citizen says that “in the contest for commissioner of agriculture the town stands about GO to 2 in favor of Nesbitt, and that from all reports the whole county is solid for him.” Among the new announcements made in Talbot county are: Mr. S. B. Baldwin for legislator, Colonel J. H. McGehee for state senator and 'Mr. L. A. Baldwin for county treasurer. All are well known and high ly respected citizens of the copnty. Captain T. Burrell Green, of Washing ington, Wilkes county, has presented to the city of Atlanta a fine" two-year-old deer. Mayor Collier accepted the gift yes terday and ordered it sent to Grant's park, where it will hereafter apear as one of the attractions. Captain Green is clear ing his deck for war with Spain. Mr. D. iN. C. Burkhalter is an announc ed candidate for the legislature from Sum ter. Should Harry iDunwody not stand as a candidate for the legislator from Glynn, the contest will be ‘between Nat Emanuel and Ernest Dart. At present Colonel William H. Atwood, of Crescent, is the only candidate for the house from Mclntosh, but Uncle Joe Mans field's friends arc still petitioning him to stand for re-election. Hon. R. M. Bartin, the editor of the Hinesville Journal, is willing to represent year. Hon. J. J. Upchurch, formerly a state senator, is a candidate for representative in Charlton. Hon. J. Pope Brown, chairman of the Candler club in Pulaski county, and mem ber of the Central Candler committee, was in the city yesterday mingling among his friends. Mr, Brown declares that there is no doubt of his section of the state go ing for Candler. Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael, Curtain. Plainfield, 111., makes the statement that she caught cold which settled on her lungs: she- was treat ed for a month by her family physician but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her drug gist suggested Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption: she bought a boule ar.d to her delight found herself benefit,: d from the first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found hers-, if sound and well; now does her own house work and is as well as she ever was. Free trihl bottles of this great Discovery at H. J. Lamar «£• Sons' drug store. Large bottles 50c ami ?l. “AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.” Nat Goodwin and Maxine Elliott to Repeat Their Fortner Success. It is pleasing to chronicle the advent to this city of America's foremost artist, Mr. Nat C. Goodwin. who will be seen in Mad eline Lueette Ryley’s greatest success, "An American Citizen.” What adds still great er interest to the engagement is that Mr. Goodwin will be assisted by the beautiful and gifted Maxine Eliott, who is admit tedly one of the greatest of our leading women. The balance .of the company is of equal renown, while both with reference to scenic environments and costumes, the production, it is promised, will be found to be the most interesting ever seen *on a local stage. The presentation will be identical to that seen for five months at the Knickerbocker theater. New York, and recently concluded a six week’s en gagement at Hooley's theater, Chicago.

Columbbs, 0., April 9.—The house taxa tion committee today made a partial re port on its investigation into the tax eva sion by corporations. They found iron ore and merchandise to the amount of mil lions of tons, stored at different places, which has escaped taxation because it was held to be in transit, while it lay on the docks in some cases for years. The com mittee recommends the amendment of the law so as to tax property in transit. Another thing which the committee would reach by law is the custom of weal thy persons of pretending to live in an other state, while their families spend the most of their time in Ohio. The committee found that about, slos,- 000,900 of stock in the large cites escaped taxation through the corporations only re turning about 10 per cent. A law is re commended requiring stockholders to re turn their stock unless the full amount is returned and paid for by the corporation. The committee would also require assign ees of running concerns to return prop erty for taxation. The committee asks for the passage of bills amending the tax laws so as to get better returns of property by April 10. Four bills were introduced. . COALING STATION By Government to be Established at Ferdi nands, Fla. Fernandina, Fla., April 9. —Fernandina is to be made a coaling station for the United States navy. Two representatives of a large coal firm of New York city have inspected the storage facilities at this port and it is understood that they will store ■at once 100,000 tons of coal here for the United States government. Work, it is said, will commence immediately on the large docks and storage bins. Room can be procured for the storage of about 30,000 to 40,000 tons, and probably more in case of war. • Social Gayeties. To be entertaining /USvSk when one ought to be asleep.
