It stood to reason that that arcb-hipo <rite, the Southern Railway's Macon news paper, couldn’t keep up the deception for very long. And, sure enough, its game has lieen fully exposed. While professing neutrality in the present gubernatorial lace, it has liven stabbing Colonel Candler in the back at every turn and legging al ternately for Atkinson and Berner, but more particularly for Atkinson. The Telegraph is regarded by Judge At kinson as his chief organ, and the recent se< r< t conference held in its office, which the Atlanta Constitution has discovered and exposed, was a very natural thing. Yet. It may surprise those few people who had b< lleved in the Telegraph’s profes sions of neutrality. Yesterday's Constitution simply wipes up the earth with the Southern’s news paper. In a lengthy editorial the Consti tution walks all over the Telegraph, and exposes its methods to the fullest, extent. The editorial in question is so full of in terest and so to the [>olnt. that The News feels that it owes it to the honest voters of Georgia to reproduce it. It is as fol lows: Tho Atkinson-Berner secret night con ference in the editorial sanctum of the (Macon Telegraph threatens to assume in teresting proportions. Tho politicians are discussing it, the people are talking about it, and gosisp runs high on account of it. Thete are a number of interesting cir cumstances coneeted with this conference that make it plquantly suspicious. In the first place, it was intended that the meet ing should be a secret one. There was no hint given to the public. On Friday, tho day after the conference took place, the Telegraph had announced by implication that Senator Berner was in one part of .the state and Judge Atkinson in another. On tho evening of that day the two can didates arrive in Macon, refresh the inner man, proceed as If by prearrangement to ithe editorial room of the Macon Telegraph, and are there closeted together in private conference for some time. It was only by the merest accident that their presence in tho office of the Telegraph was made known. Now', if this conference had not been a secret one—if there bad been no intention of keeping the matter from the public some mention of it would of course have been made in the columns of the Tele graph. Any paper that prints the news •would have announced the next morning (that tho candidates had not only been in the city the day before, bfit had visit ed the office of the Telegraph. But there was not a word about the matter in Fri day's Telegraph. Instead of that there were announcements that Judge Atkinson ibad spoken at Irwinton the day before, and that Senator Berner had addressed the people at Perry; not a word about the fact that the two candidates had slipped into the editor’s sanctum the night before in search of —"war news.” Since there was a guarded secrecy in regard to the meeting, as far as the Tele graph was'concerned, and since the public has been compelled to secure information in regard to it from outside and accidental sources, the conclusion is irresistible that the object of the meeting was to promote some object in regard to which public knowledge was neither necessary nor de viitable some object, indeed, which adver vertisement would embarrass. This being so. the secret meeting could have been held for but one of two pur poses, namely: (1) To consider whether or not one or the other of the two candi dates should retire, withdraw from the race; or (2) to secure a form of co-oper ation between the two which would give promise of compromising the defeat of Colonel Candler. We may brush aside the first sugges tion as having small basis. The with drawal of either one of these two candi dates would be a humiliating confession of utter defeat—a surrender of the whole case. The moment may come—indeed, if it has not already come—when one or the other may feel in the humor for retiring, but it is too early In the game-for.such a suggestion to' materialize now. Having arrived before the public (so to speak) as candidates with definite and different plat forms of reform and public amelioration, they must now face the music and fight it out. at least until the consciousness is pressed home upon them that the choice of the people falls elsewhere. They have not even, as yet, fulfilled their acceptance of the invitation of the Muscogee executive committee to meet in Columbus in joint debate. This is an en gagement of a somewhat peremptory na ture, and it seems to be fitting that they should appear before the Democrats of (Muscogee, each laying down his own plat form of his opponent. Both have accepted •the invitation to do so. As to the second suggestion of the pur pose of the secret consultation—an effort to secure a more promising form of co operation between the two candidates to secure the defeat of Colonel Candler— something more may be said. There is only one form of co-operation possible, and that we shall refer to presently. Under the present plan of conducting the Demo cratic primary, the people will vote di rectly for the candidate of their choice, and the candidate who receives the most votes will get the county delegates to the state convention. The only possible plan of co-operation between the two candidates for the defeat of the third, would be for Atkinson to re fuse to run in counties where Berner seems to be the stronger of the two and for Berner to refuse to run in counties where Atkinson seems to have the strong er following—each throwing his vote to Ihe other, and against tho third candidate as the recognized strongest man. Such co-operation as that which we have Just outlined may not be attempted in deed. but we have the best reason in the world for believing that it would utterly and completely fail. And that .reason is very simple. It involves not only the manipuation of individuals, but the de livery of the votes of bodies of men. It Involves the manhood of the voters. This may be an easy matter in communities where, at odd times, the operatives, the "help,” the laborers, the wage-earners are made to feel that their employment .depends on the vote they east. This was notoriously effective in 1896 at the east and in the middle west where huge cor porations and vast manufacturing concerns marshaled their slaves and compelled them <o vote at the polls for the maintenance of the gold standard. But the success of such manipulation depends on the conditions peculiar to those communities where, especially in hard •times, the very life of the laboring men depends on their compliance with the un just demands of their employees. No such conditions exist in Georgia, as we all know. The voters who are for Atkinson pre as warmly opposed to Berner as they are to Candler. Those who are for Ber ner arr against Atkinson as well as Cand ler. Th< y recognize no suci» necessity as would be involved in transferring their support from one of the two candidates to the other in order to defeat a third. Any program of that sort would crumble to pieces the moment the sun shone on it. This line of comment could be suggested only by the secret conference between two candidates in the office of the Macon Tel egraph. And surely it was a very strange place for two Ijemocrata to hold any kind of a conference, secret or open. The fact gives a peculiar flavor to the meeting. Here is a newspaper which has been and is now lighting the Democratic platform tooth and toe nail. Only a little while ago it declarbd -that the Democratic party, in favoring the remonetization of silver, was engaged in "the biggest and boldest game of bunko ever played on the people.” This is merely one instance out of thousands of the active hostility of the Telegraph to the Democratic party in Georgia. And vet the innermost bowels of this anti-Demo cratic establishment are selected as the one place (of all places in the com mon ■ wealth) where two candidates for the Democratic nomination for governor may hold a secret consultation. but are the people of Georgia to think of such an unexpected development? How are they to hold their suspicions in check? Well if there is anything in this world calculated to convince the Democratic voters of Georgia that Allen D. Candler manifested the highest wisdom in refusing the proposition for a three-cornered de bate, >t js this latest development of a secret understanding between his oppo nents. The plot was to sandwich him be t-.veen two opposing forces having a com men interest. He was to have been made the victim of a combined assault on the part of a brace of united opponents. He saw through the scheme with half an eye, and has loft his opponents in the air, as it were, where they have been wearing themeselves out. fighting political windmills. A real joint debate seems not at all to their taste, or they could have accommodated themselves long ago; at the very least, they could have fulfilled their engagement in Columbus. Instead of that, they are found caucussing in the office of that wonderful example of Demorepubll cancy, the Macon Telegraph. We do not expect anybody to be sur prised at the development on which we have been commenting. It is in the at mosphere; the air is vibrating with it. With that inner sense which belongs to large bodies the people had already begun to suspect that there are only two cam paigns going on in Georgia—one in behalf ot Candler and the other against him. The secret consultation in the sky parlor of tile Macon Telegraph nails and clinches the suspicion. And yet, in spite of this, the people will have fair play! Yesterday’s Telegraph attenfpfced to ex plain the "Secret Conference,” but its ex pl'anation utterly failed to explain. And this is tho way the Constitution disposes of the explanation: CAUGHT IN THE ACT! We reproduce elsewhere, in full, the editorial reply of the Macon Telegraph to the exposure of the secret conference in the Telegraph office, on Thursday night, of Messrs. Atkinson and Berner. It. is in the nature of a confession, for it must be remembered, though three days late, this is the first announcement of the Telegraph that these two distinguished candidates for governor were even in Ma con, much less in the Telegraph’s office on Thursday night. Had the Constitution and other newspapers of the state not pub lished the news of the meeting the people would have been left in blissful ignorance of the fact that these two candidates had gotten together. if the Telegraph had on Friday morning published even ONE LINE noting the presence in the city of the two principals to tho conference, it could with more pro priety have defended Its position that there was no significance to be attached to the meeting. Instead of this, however, it pub lished specials from tiyo different parts of the state showing that Mr. Borner was in Irwinton, and .Mr. Atkinson in Perry on the day of their Macon conference. No newspaper in Georgia, not even the least pretentious, would have suppressed the news of the presence of twm candidates for governor in the city of its publication, much less while they were under it roof, unless it had some motive to serve by such suppression. The only other explana tion that the Telegraph can offer is that it Is not a newspaper, and that It does not pretend to present the news. If this meeting had taken place in any other newspaper office in Georgia it might have been passed as being without mate rial significance, had even the bare fact of the presence in the city of the two candi dates been mentioned. But the Telegraph’s diligent and guarded effort at secrecy, taken in connection with its well known antagonism to the Democratic platform, of which it is a daily assailant, gives to this conference a significance which will find its surest expression in the increased size of Colonel Candler’s majority on June 6th. , Let’s have no more secret dickers, gen tlemen; let’s fight the contest in the open and in sight of all the people! The thing that commends Colonel Candler’s candi dacy above all other things is that it stands on a corner stone of popular con fidence, and that it docs not look to poli tical trickery and secret conferences for promotion! Spanish and American Navies. Inasmuch as it is generally agreed that, in case of war with Spain, the preliminary struggles will be on the water, it is of chief importance to note the relative strength of the Spanish and American navies. In naval warfare less depends upon the size of the country, its wealth and popu lation, than upon the number of fighting machines to be used. This fact was forci bly demonstrated in the war between Japan and China, in which the smaller of the two nations was easily victorious be cause of the superiority of its navy. While the statistics do not show Spain’s navy to be superior to our own. it is never theless, admitted to be its equal in nearly every respect. This being so it follows that we cannot expect to have a walk-over in case of war with Spain. Indeed, it is by no means certain that we could conquer Spain on the water. The two qavies being of nearly the same size, the outcome would depend largely upon skill and chance, and no man, therefore, can now say what would be the reslut. However we may *be disposed to view the matter, it is none the less interesting to cdhsider the relative eize and strength of the two nations.

And yet this one is making more noise than the other ninety-nine. And, with the aid of the yellow journals and a few jingo congressmen, he is about to have his way about it. If the Spaniards called Lee “yankee” when he was leaving Havana, as the dis patches report, he would have been justi fied in stopping right there and licking the whole lot. The war is over—but a South erner is not a yankee. Someone suggests that congress turn the excitement to account by charging an admission fee, and thereby make up the Dingley deficit. The Washington Post thinks that, in order to get things started, it may yet be necessary to send for Colonel Jack Chinn. w An exchange suggests that J. Pierpont Morgan is doubtless prepared to • share seme of the responsibility with Hanna.
