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. Now you see it. now you don't is the way McKinley is handling the Cuban question, j Subscribers must pay up and not allow small balances to run over from week to week. The carriers have been in Btructed ] to accept no part payment from anyone after April brt. 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.
