As slalc.l al that lime, tile weight oi authority iuchtna io the belief that a declaratwn of war would have to receive thi pn xiili'iilial .signature. Noi withstand ing the Views of these constitutional ex pounders, many eminent men, among them "A ril, ii r, l a.- .s and Buchanan, held lliat “t'ongri .ss alone has toe power lo declare War.” At tills time it lifl pertinent to suggest to inquirers a lew quotations from fundamen tal law: "'lne Congress shall have power” lAi'licle 11, Section viii) "lo deciare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal and make rules concerning captures on land ami waler.” The Congress shall have uower (Article Ml) "to raise ami support .ri.iii. s. I’iie Congress shall have pow- er" (Artiiele Xlll) "lo provide and main tain a navy. The ‘Congress shall have power ' (Article XIV) “to make rules for i he government and regulation of the hind and naval forces.” “The Congress shall have power (XV to provide for the call ing forth the malitia to execute the laws of the Union, supreses insurrections and repel invasions,” "The Congress shall have power” (Article XVI) “to provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia, ami tor governing such parts of them as may be employed in the -serviico of the United States.”' It will be seen that the powers are not discretionary but mandatory. indepi ntdeiitly of any difference of opin ion that may arise on this technicallity, it is pre-eminently safe to assert that no President, present or future, would dare veto a declaration of war made by Con gress. Weyler is lo be made convmandcr-in chiet of the Spanish army. If he should go to Cuba and our soldiers should cap ture him, there will be an explosion, ex ternal, exterior and interior, outside and inside—and the "Butcher" would be in the “center of activity.” How Behind We Are. The Macon Telegraph says that there are no statesmen in congress and oracular ly asks the question,. Are we rushing upon the rocks?” "There is little ability and no conserva tism there,” it says. “.Statesmen have been relegated. The hord of small men hold the reins. “Are we rushing upon the rocks.” ' The great master mind that' acts as the foil and stool pigeon in the Telegraph’s holiest of holies, sets above the smoke and dust where the passions of men obscure the view and . the _ scene is clouded with sand thri vn by ,I’e tricksters—above uU he sits and sees the little men play the game of life. He knows "whither we are drifting. He has written many columns on that subject. He sees the rocks on the shore towards which the old ship of state ■is hurrying, while its crew of little men snarl or squabble or play in pitiful igno rance. The heluunian is unfitted for his post. He knows nothing of the seas in which he sails, and v\Lth pitying eye the greatest pilot of them all —the editor in chief of the Macon Telegraph—sits up aloft besides the other cherubs and smiles— smiles at the folly of it all. If it is not too late why not call him down and give Mist a chance at the helm. How blind we are! While admiring thousands greet Fitz hugh Lee, even as the Homans of old tallied a ( aesar, a Marius or a Pompey, that sterling Virginian’s hold is straight on his shoulders—not the slightest curva ture is noticeable. Chase Them Out. The attention of the* authorities of Ma con and of the grand jury has been drawn by The News to the shameless imposition practiced by so-called loan companies upon the negroes of this community. In some cases as pointed out the victims of these people are made to pay as high as SOO and 90V per cent on the small amount of money loaned to them. It is a practice that should be promptly investigated. It calls for action on the part of the grand jury now in session, and The News hopes that the investigation will be rigid and conducted with a determination to root these people out of the comniUD&ty and inflict upon them the punishment that their conduct so richly deserves. It would be a reflection upon the inteligence of the com mur.’ity failed to take action. The News has made an investigation for itself and as prepared -to support its assertions with .the necessary evidence. Such things as this more than many others to which much at tention is paid, call for action on the part of the courts. These loan companies are conducted by people whose skin is white. They live on the most ignaront class of the negroes and they live in oppn defiance of the law. That s right, Blanco! Round them all up. It will save us time and trouble. While ihe American 'broom is sweeping the is land, let it be a clean sweep. The Inferno of Dante. The story of Cuba as told by the Con sular reports is one cf horrors. The na tion e. l ose policy embodies such barbar isms sta.iild be looked upon as a parish. It is well nigh incredible that almost within sight of our shores 400.000 human beins-s could have been sacrificed to the Spanish Moloch. Be it understood that the horrifying testimony is not of one man, but of many men. The Consular confirm ation comes to the American people upon rhe heels of the reports made by Calhoun. Proctor, Thurston, Gallinger and others. The doubting Thomases must now believe. Such cold, cruel, relentless savagery finds hardly a parallel in the world’s history. Civilization revolts at the awful spectacle. This tale of infamy calls for punishment, and Jhat punishment should be the eternal •banishment of Spanish authority from the Western Continent. The Maine horror is far from being a plosed incident. The for-ign press (exclusive of Madrid), and more especially the London journals’ have -taid some graceful things about the United States lately. No doubt, the un prejudiced mind myst conclude that those enconiums have not been unmerited. Since the crime of February 15, 1898, this nation has given civilization a grand object les son in seMf-restraint. There is another ob ject leu-on (and equally a grand one) to wh-o-h the attention of foreign peoples may be directed. It illustrates vlvidlr a difference in national character. While Americans are making all possible haste in fleeing from Cuba, having business and property behind and glad to escape with their lives, the thousands of Spanairds in this country are not displaying the least fcjunptom of alarm. The necessity for anxiety does not exist. They will be as safe here as in SSpain. They know it. The world knows it. It is a good thing to occasionally refresh the mernoiy by a reference to toe funda mental principles of our government. The great Declaration of Independence says; “Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.” if such a glorious sentnece should find its way into u»- archives of Spain, it would s< i the monarchy on fire. Tne Da Un mind n< Ver was dose enough to the empyrean to appreciate such a doctrim?. Captain General Blanco is enlisting every Spanaird on the island.”—News item. Two of the vessels now being fitted out for active service have been christened, respectively “Yankee Doodle” ami “Dixie.” They will make a good fighting pair to the tune of "Hail Columbia:” It will not do for President McKinley lo again call on iris friend and ehampion, <zi osv< nor. The old war horse’s strength is being exhausted in 'his efforts to meet these Whitehouse drafts. The unraveling of the most diabolical plot of the nineteenth century has begun. When it is conrj’hte Weyler and his ac complices will be found guilty of the de struction of the Maine. That “close friend of the President” is doing a good deal of talk these days. Most of it is explanatory. The supply of spring poetry for '9B is the lowest in three decades. The war song market is overstocked. Tlio Don is again serenading the Powers. Austria inclines an ear. Tthe others go to sleep. The Klondike rush has been checked. Tiie sound of the fife and dirum did it. Tile season of “‘bluffing” has passed. The time for a "show down” is here. National honor cannot be expressed in dollars and cents. If we can hold Congress for two days we have got it licked.”—Senator Elkins, of West Virginia. That seems to be the object of the peace at-any-rate party.- They arc out to “lick” anything except Spain. "The American people have reached the verge of insanity.”—Senor Polo.y ißar nabe. Well, Senor, before you come out of your trance you will find that there much method in their madness. If a shell from a Spanish vessel should reach 'Wall street, it might not (remem bering that all’s 'well that ends well) be a waste of ammunition. Blanco and his typewriter are claiming everything these days—the correspondents have been banished from the island. Os course, Congressman Cannon is out for war. die couldn’t be false to his name. After the “Cuban Republic” will come the “Spanish Republic.” The "talkfest” is nearly terminated. After oratory comes gunnery. Mars is in tho ascendant. WHITE HOUSE-BLACK LIST. Namcfl of Uninvited Pomonn Who Crowd Into Receptions Procured. Tbo Whi’ta House line n black list. It is an intorcisting souvenir of this yenr’s re ceptions. It goes to prove that there aru persons who own fine clothes anil who nro not so thin skinned ns to remain away from places to which they are not invited. I'ho invitations given this year to the White House receptions wcie prepared wish unusual care. Lists e.f the invited were kept, and cards were issued to individuals by name. The horetoforo indefinite and indiscriminate ‘‘and ladies” was not em ployed. That there might bo no misun derstandings the secretary to the preai dent, Mr. Porter, and the gentleman asso ciated with him in the management of de tails let it bo known through the nowspa pers that steps would bo taken to detect any who enmo without invitations. But tho method to bo employed was not ex plained. The trap was sot, and it did its duty. At one reception 213 persons who had not been invited oamo to tho White House and participated. At another affalr'the num ber of uninvited present was 150. Tho manner in which the intruders were de tected is interesting. As usual, each fcucst on advancing to tho entrance of the receiving room was told by an official to "give your nemo to tho officers, who will present you.” Tho name of each guest was called out twice, first by tho officer in troducing to the president a id again by She officer who made tho presentation to Mrs. McKinley. Tho announcing was done with distinctness. But this year an attache of tho White House stood in a se cluded nook and took down every ns-me that was called out. Comparison with ts « roller of the invited was made subsequent ly, and in this way the names of the unin vited were singled out, and the black lies was created. This wav rot all Doorkeepers from tbo senate and >.ouso were present to add their knowledge cf faces to that of tho White House ushers. Alphabetical lists of the in vited were in the possession of thoofficials. When was a doubt about anyone, the lists were consulted. Some of the un invited wcro asked for their addresses. Subsequently letters were addressed to sev eral of those who had come without invi tations asking explanations of tho broach. Most’of the letters were ignored. Several replied, laying tho blame on congressmen from whom they claimed to have received verbal invitations. Half a dozen depart ment people were caught, and their cases were referred to superior officials. —St Louis Globe-Democrat. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S.

Twelve Cellists Who Could Not Flay Witii Their No-ws. 3 boro is a down town theater in St Louis which has had a new cello play er every week since tho eeagou opened Every one of the cellists who have, been dismissed ‘‘fell down” on the same pieceof music, a Hungarian dance of some eccentric but catchy- sort. No matter how good tho cellist might bo in reading music at sight, whenever he came to a certain important passage in this composition his bow would fail mutely by his side, bis left hand make a frantic but vain effort to finger the strings, and his eyes stare as if ho saw a ghost. Week after week tho Hungarian dance was a fizzle. Tho leader got mad and the cellist was fired. Tho othci members of the orchestra began to cal' tho piece tho Hungarian hoodoo and looked for its reapp aranco as if it was a ‘‘haunt.’’ The leader was very proud of tho Hungarian dance, be<-an.-e lie had transposed and arranged it himself, and was determined to make it ‘‘go’’ before tho season ended. A cellist of some renown arrived in tho city last week, and ho wits prompt ly employed. When ho showed up for rehearsal, there on tho programme, as luck would have it, was the Hungarian hoodoo. The bass fiddler alone took pity on tho young cellist and whispered in his ear: ‘‘Better take a look at tho Hungarian dance before you tackle it.” The cellist took the cello part and ran his experienced eye ever it, tried some of passages and play ed them with ease. Suddenly his eye fell upon tho fatal passage. His mouth opened, tho bow fell, his eyes popped. The leader was rapping to begin. ‘‘Who arranged this cello part?” ‘‘l did. Why?” "It can’t he played as written by any normal man unless lie fingers this bas.i note with his nose. Ido not use my noso, and I don’ttbiiik itcan lie done”— "Mozart did it,” gaspod the leader, sparring for wind as lie examined the passage. ‘‘But that was a piano,’’’protested the cellist, while tho musicians crowd ed around and giggled at tho leader’s discomfiture. Tho Hungarian hoodoo was omitted from tho programme, tlio cellist was not fired, and the piece will be rear ranged.—St. Louis Republic. No More Rheumatism It is absolutely impossible to have Rheumatism if the Blood is pure. The acids which cause the disease cannot exist in rich, healthy blood. The reason so many thousands fail to get rid of Rheumatism is because they try to cure it with liniments and external applications of one kind or another. The Blood cannot be reached from the outside. Rheumatism cannot be cured that way. A person may try a lifetime, but the disease will not yield to such treatment; it will, on the other hand, grow worse each year. Swift's Specific is the one remedy that will cine Rheumatism. It is the only purely Vegetable Blood Purifier that the world has ever known. It drives all acids and impurities out of the circuiitlion, restores vital energy, and sends rich, pure, red Blood through the veins am! arteries.
