A Cowardly Makeshift.
It cannot be Jink'd that the President’s
message regal'.ling Cuba is disappointing.
It is neither one thing nor the other. It
gives the “peace at any price” people no
encouragement, <and it offers no definite
promise to those who are clamoring for
• war at any price. Nor is it definite enough
to terminate either one way or the other
the feeling of unrest, of business disturb
ance and uneasiness that now afficts this
country.
It is a makeshift, and it betrays a lack
of moral courage on the part of the execu
tive. It seems to indicate that the Presi
dent is controlled by two motives —one
good, the other bad. A disposition to face
*bo issue calmly, bravely and patriotically,
and, at the same time, a desire to appease
Hanna and the interests represented by
him. Which is tihe good motive and which
the bad may be determined according to
the individual views of our people.
At any rate, the message fails to satisfy
either one side or the other—the war party
or the peace party or even those who are
neutral. The greater portion of the mes
sage Is a strong arraignment of Spain for
the character of the warfare conducted in
Cuba. It emphasizes with great force the
cruelties and barbarous acts that have
been committed, ami it asserts, with much
reason, the right of this government to
intervene in the interests of peace. It
even places this right of intervention upon
the broad basis of humanity as well as
duty to American citizens and American
Interests in Cuba. It goes even further,
and assorts that the baneful influences
exerted by the Cuban war upon the people
and the business interests of our own
country justifies our active interference in
the Interests of peace. It demonstrates,
further, that the Spanish government is
wither unable or unwilling to maintain
order in the Island or t«J guarantee pro
tection to American interests. It also lays
stress upon the suffering and starvation
that lias so Incensed our people.
And all of these things, says the Presi
dent. in his message to congress, give us
the right to intervene. This, evidently,
was the portion of the message which the
President’s conscience was allowed to dic
tate without interference on the part of
Jlanna or other advisers.' But in suggest
ing a remedy he seems to have accepted
the counsel of others—whether for good or
bad may be determined according to the
individual way of thinking.
Presto, change! he contents himself
■with the mere recommendation of inter
vention —barely more than a hint at ac
tive interference on the part r' t-iis gov
ernment. He commits his administration
to the policy of intervention in Cube, it
is true; but Grover Cleveland did that
when he offered his good offices to Spain
for the purpose of restoring peace in Cuba.
True, the ofl< r was refused, hut President
McKinley’s message offers no more defi
nite guarantee of a settlement. What he
may do later on is another question. He
does nothing now more than hint at in
tervention, and practically throws the
whole matter on congress to settle, or, if
St likes, to refer back to the executive
with power to act.
In no sense can it be considered such a
message as the country had reason to ex
pect. At best, it can but mean further
delay—more suspense. And this is not
desirable.
Either this country has the right to in
tervene in the Cuban affair, or it has not.
if it has. further delay is not only danger
ous but almost criminal. If it has not.
further agitation or discussion of the mat
ter is hurtful both to the interests of this
country and the world at large.
And. as if to further complicate matters
end further nullify all that he said at the
outset, the President concludes by saying
Spain’s grant of armistice is about what
he had desired and demanded. If this is
true. It must occur to most minds that the
President Is easily satisfied. It is some
what like th*’ magnanimity of the fellow
who is eager to resent the epithet of “dam
liar," but who is willing to make peace
if his adversary will leave off the word
“dam."
Spain's grant of armistice has no bear
ing what, ver on President McKinley's de
mand. She has been most careful to have
thia clearly understood. Her action is in
mere deference to the wish of the Powers.
«nd. at best, seems but a shrewd diplo
matic play to secure for herself the moral
support of Europe. It is seized upon by
I resident McKinley as a solution of the
difficulty.
In refusing to recognize the Cuban gov
ernment, however, the President is emi
nently correct. Indeed, it would be strange,
with the lights before him and so many
valuable precedents to guide him. had he
made a mistake on this point. His refusal
to recognize Cuba is a safeguard against
an entangling alliance with the Cuban
government, provided such a government
ever comes into existence, and, at the
same time, leaves Cuba to be disposed of
*s we may see fit in case of war and the
eventual supremacy of American arms.
The message is pacific, but not definite.
And in failing to be specific it leaves the
matter as much in a tangle as ever. And.
unfortunately, a tangle for congress to un
ravel.
What the latter body will do with it
. only God knows. And thus the Cuban sit
uation stands after all these days of wait
s ing.
Without Recognition,
■While the president is undoubtedly right
from a legal and moral point of view in
refusing to recommend recognition of the
Cuban government, his failure to do so
only complicates matters the more.
The recent declaration of the Cuban
junta, through its attorney, one Horatio J.
Rubens, while indiscreet, is none the less
significant, for it undoubtedly expresses
the attitude of the insurgents.
Rubens, it will be remembered, made the
statement that the Cuban insurgents would
regard our intervention without a recogni
tion of the present “Republic of Cuba” as
a declaration of war against the Cuban
revolutionists.
This declaration in itself is sufficient to
demonstrate the wisdom of the president’s
course in refusing to recognize the “Re
public of Cuba.” It indicates very clearly
that thl< alleged government is very un
grateful at the outset and unworthy of our
co-operation and protection. Indeed, it
proves Shat should we recognize the "Re
public of Cuba" and take -up arms to es- ;
tablish its independence, we would only ;
swap the devil for a witch. e ;
View it as one may, there is nothing ;
in the personnel or bearing of the in- :
surgents that entitles them -to our sym- '
pathy or confidence. They have conducted
in the field a campaign of plunder,
murder, rapine and anarchy, and they are
not fit for self-government. Their repre
sentatives in this country, the members of
the Cuban Junta, have done nothing to
counteract this impression. On the con
trary. its members are rot in good odor
at Washington, because they are in alii- ■
anve with the sharpers, both financial and
*,,*l AA 1 tw V* n •• r- r\r\ S - .
political, who are endeavoring to make
money out of the intervention of the
United States in the Cuban war. It Is
pretty clearly understood in administration
circles that the endeavors of these men to
trick the United States into giving value
to Cuban bon/ls Issued by the junta wijl
fail. The putative mission of the junta
has been to raise money and supplies for
the Insurgent forces in the field. It has
been publicly stated on the floor of Con
gress that of every $lO collected but $1
gets into the bands of the insurgents.
There is good ground for suspicion here,
and that suspicion renders wha'teve- the
junta may attempt with the government
at Washington a failure from the start.
Not only this, but 'the ungrateful declar
ation through its legal representative,
Rubens, proves that our sympathy would
be misplaced and.our confidence abused
should we enter into an alliance with such
an organization.
But these facts do not relieve us of
moral responsibility for Cuba. On the
contrary, they add force to the suggestion
that we should intervene to restore peace
on the island. Not peace for the insur
gents, nor yet peace for Spain; but peace
for the Innocent starving reconcentrados
whose piteous cries have already aroused
our people. Peace that will save these
helpless •people from the ravages of the
Insurgents as well as from the cruelties of
the Spaniards. Intervention in the inter
est. of humanity, and that alone.
This Is Our only mission in Cuba. Un
less it he afterwards demonstrated that
the Spanish government is guilty of the
Maine outrage, we have no other right to
interfere. If. however, the final verdict
as to the Maine fixes the crime on Spain,
then we should not stop until we have
killed every Spaniard in sight.
But what will be the attitude of the in
surgents toward the United States should
-we Intervene without recognizing their
government? They already threaten us
with armed opposition. The official de
claration is made that they will consider
our intervention an act of war. So much
the 'better. It is to be hoped, that if war
must come, that it will take this course.
Then can the United States kill two birds
with one stone. If we succeed in rescuing
the starving innocents of Cuba, in putting
an end to Spanish rule in America and,
at the same time of sweeping the Island of
every cutthroat who masquerades under
the title of insurgent, we shall have ren
dered the world and humanity a double
service.
How is This For Neutrality?
The Macon Telegraph, in its effort to
remain neutral in the present gubernato
rial contest is slightly overdoing it. As
the old saying goes, it is so straight that
it leans backward. This, at least, is a
charitable way of putting it.
A fair sample of its neutrality is brought
to light by the Montezuma Record, which
paper nails the Telegraph in the follow
ing manner:
“The Macon Telegraph has a regular
correspondent at Montezuma. That cor
respondent is an educated gentleman,
whose news items, as, published in the
Telegraph from time to time, are fair and
impartial. On Saturday, the 2nd 'instant,
Mr. Berner delivered a speech at Monte
zuma. Tiie regular correspondent of the
Telegraph sent in a short report of that
speech to his paper. The correspondent’s
report was received at the office of the
Telegraph. The ITeegraph did not pub
lish its correspondent’s report, but did
publish a ‘special’ short report clipped
from the columns of the Atlanta Journal.
The Journal report was a Berner boomer
from beginning to end but it suited the
quality of fairness in which the Telegraph
deals better than its own correspondent’s
report. And that, is but a very small sam
ple of the methods the Telegraph uses in
getting up reliable campaign news for its
readers.
“The Journal special informs the public
(hat there were a thousand people present
and heard Mr. Berner's speech. Gentle
men of undisputed veracity who were
present, and noticed particularly, put the
number of white men present at anywhere
from seventy-five to one hundred and fifty.
It is true that the speech has been spoken
of quite often since its delivery, but the
whole business has been pronounced a
most complete failure as a vote winner,
from beginning to end. If a single pro
nounced Candler or Atkinson man has left
the ranks and gone over to the Berner
faction on account of Berner’s speech, this
scribe has not heard of it. nor has he heard
of any one else who has heard of such a
flop over.
“The Telegraph, we believe, should give
the news reports of its own reliable cor
respondents the preference over clippings,
on the same subject, from another paper.
"It is only a few days since that the
Telegraph, editorially, stated that it could
not be held responsible for the political
bias of its put of town correspondents.
The rule does not seem to work satisfac
torily when dealing with its Montezuma
correspondent, and explanations arc in
order.”
But the Telegraph is not to be too se
verely censured for “cribbing” the Atlanta
Journal's state specials. It has come to be
second nature with it.
An authority gives out the information
that the total amount of money incircula
tion in the United States on April I'was
$1.756,058.645. which represents an increase
of over $87,000,000 as compared with the
corresponding date a year ago. Yes, we
have 50 cents of the amount; a decrease,
as shown by our diary, of 25 cents as com
pared with the corresponding date a year
ago.
It is bad enough for a Democratic can
didate to be on speaking terms with the
Macon Telegraph, hut .to bold a secret
political conference in its clitoris.! rooms,
is nothing less than party treason.
Whenever there is trouble between
China and any of the European powers,
the emperor puts the drinks on Li Hung
Chang, notes the Memphis Commercial-
Appeal.
The Spanish troops at Guinea murdered
several hundred dying and starving recon
centrados the other day as an evi’-nee of
good faith, notes an exchange.
To prospective candidates: You as well
come along with those announcements.
They will cost just as much for two weeks
as two months.
It’s dollars to doughnuts that either
Atkinson or Berner will withdraw in the
interests cf the other on or before June
6th.
General Le-e's triumphal journey gives
rise to the impression that the old rebel
yell is greased and ready for business.
Brer Wanamaker appears to be running
fcr governor of Pennsylvania purely as an
object lesson, observes an exchange.
Does anybody now see any resemblance
between McKinley and Napoleon, asks the
Griffin News and Sun.
The Constitution’s cartoonist intimates
that Hanna is using McKinley’s backbone
for a walking stick.

O
POWDER
Absolutely Pure
That Secret
Today’s Atlanta Constitution publishes
a number of expressions from Georgia
newspapers regarding the “secret confer
ence” held in the Macon Telegraph’s of
fice last week between Messrs Atkinson
and Berner. The opinion is practically
unanimous that this conference confirms
the idea that it is Atkinson's and Ber
ner's game to knife Candler—or, in other
words, to eventually combine to defeat
him. Here are a few expressions quoted
by the Constitution:
Watkinsville Enterprise: The exposure
of the Atkinson-Berner secret confab at
‘Macon turns the light on the present
status of the gubernatorial campaign.
There is a combine to defeat the people’s
candidate and save the'ring.
Fort Valley Leader: The f.faeon Tele
graph in explaining away the charges that,
a secret conference was held between
Messrs. Atkinson and Betner in the Tele
graph office, seeks to throw out the im
pression that the meeting was a little be
fore dark. The ■Constitution struck “tie”
that time ami Messrs. Berner and Atkin
son really held a significant consultation.
Their “desultory convention” must have
meant something.
‘Dalton Argus: It is a fair specimen of
the fairness of ring politics. It was sim
ply a political outrage. That'is was in
tended to be secret there is no doubt. The
Telegraph's silence about, it the next morn
ing proves that. Its object was to come to
some agreement by which Candler could
be knifed —most presumably to have each
speak in the counties where they hod the
most influence, and then each run in the
counties where they developed the most
strength and deliver the supporters of the
other in bulk and run a regular “two
pluck one” skin scheme and anything to
beat Candler ticket.
Jonesboro Enterprise: The Atkinson-
Berner secret conference furnishes con
vincing proof of what Colonel Candler’s
friends have believed all along. The ring
candidates are running mates and their
plan is to combine their strength in such
away as to thwart the will of the people
and defeat Candler.
Lexington Echo: We have never taken
much stock in the insinuation that Atkin
son and Berner are running mates, but
this little effort episode rather carries us
over to that way of thinking it docs look
like anything or any way to beat Cand
ler.
Montezuma Record: The Berner-Atkin
son conference at the Macon Telegraph of
fice last week is not Surprising at all.
These meetings will be necessary all along
to enable the running mates to keep in
touch with each other.. “Anything to
beat Candler,” is the watchword, you
know. A local Berner enthusiast says the
meeting means Candler’s defeat. —which is
rather significant.
Darien Gazette: The gubernatorial com
bination cannot effect Candler’s chances
in this section. Tie is as strong as ever.
The people are for him.
Dawson News: This conference confirms
Colonel Candler’s contention that an un
derstanding exists between Messrs. Ber
ner and Atkinson, and that, they have
pooled their interests and are secretly and
jointly planning to thwart the will of the
people of Georgia, and prolong the reign
of the men who are now in office by the
reason of their ability as schemers and
pullers.
Trenton News: It simply means that the
policy of those two gentlemen has been
and will be for each other, and both
against Candler.
Norcross Tribune: General opinion here
is that the Macon conference was held to
devise some scheme to defeat Candler. At
kinson and Berner see they are defeated,
and are ready to_do anything to down
Candler.
Hampton Herald: The big three—Atkin
son.-Berner-'Goldbug—combination do not
stand any better with the people because
they have added tire Macon Telegraph to
their support. But Candler would have
won anyway.
