The Absurdity of It.’ The N<w- has no divirc io make a fight on the Bibb Democratic Executive Com mittee for Us absurd action of Saturday Lisi. W<‘ merely ho|ie the committte will not insist on making itself ridiculous. Tliv lommitiee, lor some ulterior polit ies! reason, has been led into making a viry silly mistake, ami it is to be hoped that it will lose no time in backing water. By attempting to set itself above the state eommlthe it is guilty of u pelce of pre numption that is entirely without prece dent In Georgia politics. In the first place, there is no end, except lit be a personal one, to lie served by the Bibb committee’s action. It is certainly not helpful to party harmony, nor does it give promise of greater fairness. Ixiok at it as we may, it appears to lie merely a political play on the part of someone who thinks he or some of his friends will gain <i political advantage thereby. It remains to lie seen whether the slate committee will give in and allow itself to lie swayed by such considerations. The state cominijtee acted entirely within its province to begin with, ami it is worse than absurd for a county committee —im- pelled by some personal partisan motive — to rebel at the authority of the com mittee, especially whe'n there is no good reason for its objection and no good pur pose to be served thereby. We have no idea that the Bibb commit tee expect to do more than create a certain amount of discord. It certainly cannot hope to overrule the authority of tihe the slate committee. If so, there would be nothing .it all In party authority and our primaries would possess the farcical feat ures of yore. In the interest of party harmony, therefore, as well as in the in terest of right and fairness, and for the Fake of its own reputation for good sense, it is to be hoped the Bibb Executive 'Com mittee will recede from its ridiculous po sition. It begins to look less like the power* will interfere. War, But F or What? iSo It seems that we are to be thrust into a war with Spain after all. A strong tri bute to the power .of the yellow journal ami the jingo congressman—for, in reality, practically everyone else in bills country would like, < ven now, to see war averted. And yet all the indications are that war, cruel, bloody, useless war, must come. And for what? Not for the Maine. If that were it, then would every American res pond and gladly. Not for humanity’s sake. Hut to secure Hie independence of Cuba--to establish a government by the insurgents on the island. And all of this, as Mrs. Jefferson Davis says, for a lot of half breeds and mulattos who are not fit for self government. We believe there wqyild be more enthu siasm. especially here in the South, if bhis unnecessary conflict had been based on the (Maine disaster or the woes of Cuban re coneentradoi s. We regard it as peculiarly unfortunate that the nation has become in volved in an ’’entangling alliance’” with the alleged Republic of Cuba. Indeed, it is greatly to be regretted that affairs were not so shaped that, in cast 1 of war, we should be forced to drive both Spaniards ami insurgents from the island. It would have been better for Cuba, better for the world and more creditable to ourselves. It would be rank injustice not to let Billy Mason do some of the fighting. The Lees. The Jacksonville Times-Union and Citi zen gives tlie following interesting little sketch of the Lee family, the most dis tinguished living representative of whom today occupies a greater share of atten tion ami admiration of all Americans than any man before the public at this parti cular period: One of the Lees of Virginia has borne a leading part in every crisis through which tliis country lias passed -often more than one Lee is found rendering valuable ser vice when the best and strongest are call ed to the front. In the days of piping peace, when interest and persistency gain place, the Lees give way to other men, •but in difficulty and danger they are al ways pushed to the front. The first American Lee settled in “The Northern Neck” of Virginia, between the Rappahannock and Potomac , rivers, in 1«66. He was secretary to Sir William Berkeley, and his ability as well as wealth and social position gave him much influ ence. During Cromwell’s time Virginia took several steps towards independence, and there was a disposition to stand aloof at the restoration. Henry Lee used his in fluence to quell this spirit, and took nart in the ceremonies attending the coronation of the Merry Monarch. From this parti- L<C " aS taken the ,e « end of " S ”- bU "W"** Thomas Lee. the grandson of Richard, was again a leading spirit in Virginia, was president of the council, etc. He died in d..u leaving six sons. One of these. Rich- WaS ? memtoer of the Continental fX n ? thV firSt ,0 th * TCSO iuUon on June 7. 1776. that ’ These are and of right ought to be free and inde pendent states.” His brother. Francis W “’ h him thc Deration of Independence, and “Lighthorse Harry” the grandfather of General Fitzhugh Lee was one of the most brilliant soldiers of the revolution. c3,m ° f 9* neral Lee was Captain Sidney Smith Lee, who was born at amden N. J., during a visit of his Parents, and his mother was a grand °f Virßinia statesman, George Mason, a daughter of General John -Mason, and a sister to James M. Mason bitzhugh Lee was bom at Clermont, the res.denee of his grandfather Mason, on November 19. 1835. Had he noj displayed a distinguished part in the history of his country as soldier or statesman, or both he would have furnished a conspicuous example of the failure of hereditary pow ers and tendencies. The more strength Col. Candler devel ops the madder Atkinson and Berner toe pome. . a ~ The People Not For War. The jingo journals have done a lot of ‘ talking about the war enthusiasm that prevails in this country—especially in the , South. And yet the careful observer of events knows that this Is all nonsense. ; That there is. in reality, no such etithu- j siasm as there is said to be, and much that , is mere superficial. The fact is the war sentiment in this country is as much divided as ever in its history. In all the wars and rumors of wars since the colonies rebelled against British ty ranny the people of the whole country • have never been entirely practically i united. In the war of the ‘Revolution ’ there was a very formidable lory-party in I most of the colonies. In the War of 1812. the opposition in many states was threat ening. There was strong opposition to the Mexican war. In the late civil war fifteen states were in opt n conflict, with a large anti-war party in many of the loyal states. And there is the same opposition to war now. The people do not want it. they see no need for it, they prefer not to be dis turbed in their peaceful pursuits. They have not yet entirely recovered from the disastrous effects of the war between the states, and they are in no humor to be plunged into another conflict without more reason than has been offered in this case. But the politicians have determined on it, in answer to the cries of the gallery— stitch they too often mistake for pubHc opinion and so war must come. We will see our mistake later, but then it will be considered treasonable’ to admit it, so, like al) other wars, we shall, in time, no doubt, come to say it was the right thing, the only thing and applaud thc hot heads who refused to allow a peaceful settlement of the issue. > President Can Veto. Apropos of the President’s right to veto a declaration of war, the following extract from the United .States Constitution (Art. 1, Sec. 7, Par. 3) settles the question: 'Every order, resolution, or vote to which the concurrence of ithe Senate and House of Representatives may be necessa ry (except on a question, of adjournment,) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the same shall take effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him shall be re passed by two-thirds of ithe Seriate and House of ißepresentatives, according to the rules and limitations prescribed in the case of a bill. If Southern sea-coasts are to bo defend ed our Southern soldiers are ready and willing to defend them. But they are not willing to be marched to thc front and leave their homes to the protection of strangers. Such a [dan would be contrary to what is right and natural. Spencer'Atkinson has writen another let ter, and, as usual, The Southern Railway’s Macon newspaper says it “puts Candler in a .hole.” It is so fair and neutral, you know. There seems to be a disposition in the South to let the South tlo the most of the fighting in Cuba—'because our people are more civilized. In this affair the United States is guilty of ithe mistake usually made by the Eng lish —underestimating the strength of an anversary. There has been a Lee on the crest of every crisis since the Declaration of In dependence, notes an exchange. By making Lee a brigadier general will the government lie able to make the South do all the fighting? DEAR AND DIRTY DUBLIN. It Now Has a Music Hall, With Matinees For the Fair Sex. Dublin may bo dear and dirty. It is also dranintio and loves gayoty. Thus within the last few weeks It has added unto Itself a now theater and a new music hall, says a writer in tho London Skotoh. It is now 18 years since Uro robbed it of its Theater Royal, which its people regarded, anti with some truth, ns tbe finest play house in the three kingdoms after Drury Lime, and naturally there was a groat rush for seats on Its reopening by Messrs. Morelland Mouillot. All Dublin wanted to be present, but the theater could accom modate only 3,1100 persons, and so there wan plenty of that sort of disappointment among the public so dear to the theatrical manager’s heart. The play was “Tho Geisha.” Tho new theater has a pleasant air of space and elbow room. It is, of course, supplied with all the latest me chanical improvements. It, has a special largo box for tho viceroy, with private en trance, anteroom and other accommoda tions, and a splendid saloon and ladies' drawing room. There is no pit in tho old sense, tho whole ground floor (1,000 seats) being arranged on the American parterre system, and all bookable at a low figure, an interesting experiment. The manage ment can do with the stage what Dan O’Couiu 11 said he could do with an act of parliament—it can drive a coach and four through it, entering at one side from the street, and emerging at tho other into a new carriage way. And a new music hall has arisen in tho shape of tho Empire Palaeo theater. It fans boon built on tho site of the old and popular Star Theater of Varieties In Dame street, which, however, it surpasses in size, beauty and indeed in almost every detail. A splendid stage, a proscenium larger than that of either tho Palace thea ter or the Empire in London, accommoda tion for over 1,700 spectators—which all visitors may advisedly be dubbed, as an excellent view of the stage is obtainable from every seat in tho bouse—capital acoustic properties, luxurious boxes, stalls and seats and a tout ensemble of refined decoration in tho Louis Quinzo style; in which ivory, gold and a eoupcon of faint blue predominate, are but a few of tho permanent attractions that tho now thea ter offers. The opening night was a memorable oc casion, and the programme included the names of many world renowned artists, who met with as enthusiastic a reception as tho heart of man or woman could de sire. The wisdom of tho management in continuing to provide tho public with an excellent and varied bill of faro has had its reward in tho packed audiences which nightly await the lifting of tho curtain. A mediocre attendance has so far not been recorded on the books. A special feature is tho Saturday matinee, when no smok ing is permitted and when the programme, at all times of a high class, is specially "Bowdlerized” to please tho ladles of Dub lin, to whom tho music hall had hitherto been a terra incognita. Now all this is changed, and ladies of high degree and society loaders may bo seen occupying boxes and-stalls at the Empire every Sat urday afternoon.

The announcement that J. L. Hand, of Pelham, will oppose J. B. Palmer for the senate from the Eighth district means that, there will be a whole lot of politics in Mitehell county from now on.

Priceless Pain If a price can be placed on pair, * Mother’s Friend’ is worth its weight in gold as an alievi ator. My wife suffered more in ten minutes with either of her other two children than she did al together with her last, having previously used four bottles of ‘Mother’s Friend.’ It is a Messing to any one expecting to become a mother,” says a customer. Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist, of Carmi, 111., to the Bradfield Regulator Company, of Atlanta, Ga., the proprie tors and manufacturers of “ Mother’s Friend.” This successful remedy is not one of the many internal medicines ad vertised to do unreasonable things, but a scientifically prepared liniment especially effective in adding strength and elasticity to those parts of woman’s organism which bear th’e severest strains of,childbirth. The liniment may be used at any and all times during pregnancy up to the very hour of confinement. The earlier it is begun, and the longer used, the more perfect will be the result, but it has been used during the last month only with great benefit and success. It not only shortens labor and lessens the pain attending it, but greatly dimin ishes the danger to life of both mother and child, and leaves the mother in a con dition, more favorable to speedy recovery. “ Mother’s Friend ” is sold by druggists at /i.oo, or sent by express on receipt of price.

In view of the fact that Dr. Watton not only sanctioned a dramatization of his stories, but has written approving of the play, which he has read ami commends to his friends in America, “whom I hold in grateful reincinbiam-e,” it is interesting to quote from a dialogue which three per sons have over his name on “Amuse ments” in The Woman at Home. The rector is easily identified with Dr. Watson, and in summing up the ease for the thea ter be thus concludes; “Don’t you think that, as there will bo a theater as long as children net by tin in stinct and the grown ups love to see good acting, what good jieople ought to do is not to ostracize the theater, but to nurifv it? z “How can they do that? Why, by on couraging managers to produce pure and noble plays and supporting well living actors till the higher drama be profitable and the lower he left to vicious people, where it w ill die through destitution. You tan never reform by repressing. The Puritans tried that method, ami the result was the grossness of tho restoration. You can only reform by replacing. I wish well to every man ami woman who helps to make the stage a blessing and not a curse to society. ” Bookman. CHEAPER ICE. Notice to Ice Consumers, Which Applies to the Family' - Trade.
