That Congressional Scrap. 11 is to be regretted that disorder at tended yesterday’s session of the House of Congress, and here in Georgia it will be especially regretted that a Georgia * congressman played such an important part In the riotous demonstration. Yet, we cannot see how the gentleman is to be criticised for resenting an unpro voked insult. It may have been somewhat untiignilied, it is true, to engage in a fist fight on the floor of eongri ss, but what is a man to do when the lighting epithet is applied to him? Home say he should have* thalli rigi d the off, rider later, but the day has come when people who really want to light no longer send or accept challenges. So that it would seem there is but one lime to i(sent the lie, 'and that is as soon as you can get to the fellow who applies it.. Congressman Bartlett, no doubt, regrets the occurrence as much as anyone, but it would be contrary to human nature, and .specially contrary to tiie Georgia code of honor, for a man to remain silent when this epithet is applied. Even the Associated Press report of the affair, necessarily a fair and impartial one, proves conclusively that Congressman Barthtt was Insulted by a bully—a man vastly his physical superior, who. evidently felt safe in applying such an epithet to the Georgian. So that the onus of the affair seems to rest with the Pennsylvanilan. it must be understood, too, that the pro vocation for resentment was considerably aggravated, because of the flagrant man ner in which the Republicans bad ridden roughshod over the rights of the minority. Under Czar Reed’s shameless rollings they ■wore hardly given a voice In the House deliberations, and It was this outrageous treatment of the minority that led up to the unfortunate clash. It is only strange that the Democrats have submitted so long. Though lamenting the occurrence, Geor gians will have no fault to find with Con gressman Bartlett for defending his char acter as promptly and vigorously as pos sible. If every one could have his own way this world wouldn’t be worth living in. War No Worse Than Suspense. • The News has never been a shouter for war. On the contrary, we have persistent ly refused to become excited or to con found patriotism with noisy demonstra tions. We have rather relied on the wis dom, justice and moderation of our publie officials to settle this Cuban affair without bloodshed. While insisting upon the right of this government to put a stop to the butchery and cruelties that have so in censed our people and which are* s'till oc curring right at. our doors, we have hoped that this could be done peaceably. But it begins to seem that even war would bo better than this suspense. The people of this country are now suffering almost as much from the latter as they would suffer from the' former. Business is disturbed, capital in timid, our people are demoralized. There is more excuse for an immediate declaration of war than there is for the dlliatory policy now being pursued by the administration. If war should come at once, then our people would be able to ad just their affairs accordingly, but as it is, they are utterly unable to plan for the fu ture, consequently business is almost at a standstill. Whatever is to be done, therefore, should be done quickly. We are losing valuable time as one of the parties 'to the impend ing conflict, while our people are wasting valuable time as parties at interest. For mor.' than two years this Cuban matter has disturbed and practically de moralized our people. This in itself is a sufficient answer to Spain’s denial of our rights in the premises. If it is true that the struggle in Cuba, either directly or in directly affects injuriously American in terests. then we have a right to put an end to this condition of affairs. This is the unwritten law of nations, and it is right to observe it. But the President and Congress have no right to dilly-dally any longer.' Peace, to be sure, is greatly to bo desired, but it will be a costly peace that is bought at the price we are now paying—business stag nation, industrial lethargy, financial dis turbance and general demoralization. The authorities at Washington should either shoot or give up the gun. The Telegraph’s headline artist is in danger of losing his job. “Bryan Caught the Crowd" is the treasonable headline to an article in this morning's Telegraph re ferring to the Democratic leader's speech at Washington. Now, Will He Act? Surely the President cannot complain at Congress for any lack of co-operation in his Cuban policy. Instead of taking the matter out of the President’s hands. Con gress will leave it to him to manage as he sees fit, backed, however, by the emphatic declaration that Congress favors immediate intervention, and offers the President the armed forces of the country to back up thin dtmaud. The question is now pertinent, therefore what will he do with it? Will he now act or will he continue his policy of delav? His supporters declare that he will act at once. It is stated on authority that the President will not postpone his action anv length of time. His plan, as already outlined, is still to carry food to the sufferers, but to do. so in vessels of our navy, accompanied by sol diers, and have this relief distributed by the armed forces of the United States. In other words, it is said, he is going to take possession of the island of Cuba to restore peace and stop hostilities. It is stated, also, that the President in tends to act immediately and even con tended that it was necessary for Congress to insert this word in the resolution. He Intends to act. it is asserted, just as soon as he can make the necessary arrange ments, select his armed forces and sup plies. If Spain objects to this, and puts ob'-tructions in the way, or interferes, she will be the aggressor, and the President will then send the full naval and army forces to the island. Florida as a War Center. When war comes—for It is inevitably approaching—Florida will become the out post of either offensive or defensive ac tion on the part of the United'States. Florida will be the Virginia of the cam paign in a measure. Key West is already the storm centre, and the strategic value of the Florida east coast as a base of sup ' ply and for the movement of troops as sumes an importance which should at once engage the attention of the govern ment. points out the New York Mail and Ex points out the New York Mill and Ex press, that by the liberality and far-sight ed genius of Henry M. Flagler, not only have the sand dunes and hammocks of East Florida been made to blossom as the rose, but by bis unaidc-d enterprise a railroad has been built to a point about 160 miles from Key West, and a harbor created >n Biscayne bay, where no ade quate harbor formerly existed. The exten sion of the Florida East Coast Railway tc Miami last year not only created the thriv ing little city of Miami, but necessitated the cutting of a channel from the railway terminus for the development of Ameri can commerce at that port and the facili tation of travel. A million dollars has been expended by Mr. Flagler in this enormous enterprise, with the result that in a few days a twelve foot channel will be opfned through Biscayne bay, and the new ship now plying between Miami and Nassau will be able to come to her pier at Miami. Should it become necessary to move troops and supplies rapidly to the south, Mr. Flagler's railway and open harbor in the Biscayne would be Immediately avail able. At the same time the government should, without delay, assume the task of carrying forward the’ work which Mr. Flagler has so well begun. The channel is deep enough for the Miany and for ves sels of equal draught, but for government use it should be at least twenty-six feet. This great natural harbor in the Biscaybe is the only one between Key West and Jacksonville capable of improvement for use by war vessels, and of defense from attack. No better use could be made of the president’s emergency fund than to devote a portion of it to the prompt devel opment and defease of a harbor which is bound to play an important part in any conflict which may be undertaken in Cu ban and Floridan waters. If it is worth knowing The News tells you about it just fifteen hours ahead of any other Macon paper. Rehd’s Methods. The high-handed measures adopted by Sneaker Reed to prevent deliberation on the Cuban question, while only in keeping with his past record, are more than ever •alculated to incense the country and arouse the ire of those congressmen who object to fifing made the puppets of the ' peaker at a time like tins. Speaker Reed belongs to that part of the House or Representative's which de sires 'to put off and postpone at a great length all decisive action on the Presi dent's message concerning Spain. Espe cially is this so if members of Congress seek to substitute the conclusions of the Hones for those of Mr. McKinley. If the proposed action had met with Reed’s ap proval it would have gone through the House without a hitch or suggestion of delay. But when amendments and changes of procedure are sought to be substituted in the wisdom of Congress, then it is that Speakr Reed does all in his power to prevent a full and free discussion in the House before action is taken in all those eases, where his will is being carried out. Mr. Recd “thanks God that the House is not a deliberative body.” It is such outrageous conduct on the part of the speaker that led to the unfortunate scene in the House yesterday, and the speaker himself is more to blame for the affair than anyone dlse. The Augusta Chronicle has the follow ing to say of Hon. O. B. Stevens’s recent visit to that city: “Senator O. B. Stevens, rpn<lhYdtv for v cmmloclonrr of c ppri ovil til i’o, spent yesterday in Augusta, shaking hands with the voters of Richmond, and letting them know that he was in the race and wanted Richmond's support. If he is as smooth a farmer as he is a politician his success would put a good man in offee. It was interesting to note the ease with which he fraternized with the most diver gent elemt.ns of local polities yesterday, turning from one to the other, and pleas ing both, with all the skill of a diplomat and the cordiality of a candidate. Senator Stevens made a good impression in Au gusta. The contest between him and Com missioner Nesbitt for Richmond’s vote will be a spirited fight.” Says the Dawson News: Hon. O. B. Stevens has, togeher with the candidates for other state offices, been invited by the Democratic executive committee of Hab ersham to address the people of that coun ty. If the Habershamites want to hear how to raise hog and hominy plentifully, make the cotton fields yield abundantly, and raise big turnips and yellow yams, their invitation has been wisely extended. The admirers of President Andrew Jack son think he must have squirmed in his grave at being made to stand sponsor for that message, remarks the Augusta Chronicle.

Mr. Asa Ammons, a well -knotrn ci*i?;en of Jacksonville, Florida, was afflicted by a terrible ulcer. Medical skill seemed unavailing in stopping the ravages of the terrible disease. The. leg was swollen and intensely painful, as the ulcer had eaten its way down to the very bone. Al) medicines and treatments having failed to effect a cure, the doctors said the leg must, come oft'. Just when it seemed that Mr. Ammons would become a disabled and a crippled man, he tried P. P. I\, Lippman’s Great Remedy, and the re sult was wonderful. P. P. P. SAVES H!S LEG. “ Jacksonville, Fla.. July 1, 1595. Two years ago I had the worst ulcer on my leg I ever saw. It had eaten down to the bone, and my whole leg below my knee, and my foot was swollen and inflamed. The bone was swollen and painful, and discharged a most offensive matter. My physicians said I had necrosis of the bone, and my leg would have to come off. At this stage ( commenced to take P. P. I*. and to bathe my leg with hot caStile soap suds. It began to improve at once and healed rapidly, and is to-day a sound and useful leg. “ I think P. P.

The Original Navel Orange Tree. Over in tin* orangery at the agricultural department is the parent tree of ail th< navel oranges in ‘hol'uited States. Every orchard of navel oranges in Florida, Lou isiana. Colorado, Arizona and California camo from it. Ami the shipments of this kind of fruit from California alono have reached 10,ut U carloads a year. This par ticular tree, which is still bearing, came from Bahia, Brazil, but is said to be a native of southern China. William Saun ders, the horticulturist of the department, having heard that they had a seedless orange in Brazil, sent down for a plant. When it came it was carefully nurtured and grew with surprising vigor. The sec ond year, when Mr. Saunders was on his way to the agricultural department one morning he picked up in the gutter back of the wholesale fruit market on Louisiana avenue a pocketful of ordinary decayed oranges. He carried them to his room, extracted the seeds and planted them in the hothouse. They produced a bunch of thrifty little plants, upon w hich he graft ed buds from the Brazilian tree and after ward sent them to friends in California ami Florida who were engaged in the orange business. Mr. Saumters thinks that the quality of the navel orange is.de teriorating anil I hat there arc better grades of fruit. —Chicago Record.
