The Ultimatum Sent.
Shortly aiur 11 o'clock today President
.McKinley signed the resolutions and ulti
matum which are to bring on a bloody
conflict between this country ami Spain.
The ultimatum has been forwarded to
the Spanish government, and will be pre
muted to lite Spanish cortes, when that
body convenes today. The ultimatum al
lows Spain until Saturday noon to answer.
Hut the answer U already given. Spain
cannot and will not back down. However
much she may dread war with the Uniteal
States she Hurs it less than the conse
quences of submission.
There is now nothing that can prevent
war. Spain cannot yield, and the Powers
cannot agree among themselves as to in
tervention.
On Saturday next, therefore, the war
begins. Then must the United States make
good its threat as to Cuba. Then must we
attempt to land troops or begin the block
fade of the island.
The Jingoes and hot heads have had
their way. .More than two-thirds of the
.people of this country are opposed to this
war, lint now that It must come, they will
fall in line and fight for their country as
bravely as If their whole heart were in
the issue. There has been a division of
sentiment, as to the Justice of this conflict.
But there must now be no division of
opinion as to our duty as citizens. That
duty is to uphold the flag.
“My country, may she ever be right;
but right or wrong, my country.”
Duties of family Men.
Os course no true man desires to shirk
his duty to his country, and no worthy
citizen of this Republic will hesitate to
respond when called upon, no matter
whether In’, at heart, favors a war with
Spain or not.
But there are Individual duties to he
considered also, and some stress has been
laid upon these by iMajor General Roe, of
the New York National Guard, who, in an
inti re. ting and timely talk about the prob
able call <>n the state militia.
Tlie call for t.he militia will precede the
P'eiieral call for volunteers. That is to say,
the companies already organized will be
first ordered out. but even this will be in
away a call for volunteers, says General
Roe, for he thinks arrangements will be
made by which the regiments will go as
regiments, tmt by which men who do not
fe<l like going with the regiment may
stay at home to form the nucleus of a
home guard without, losing rank or caste
as soldiers.
<hi this point the New' York commander
speaks quite plainly and sensibly as fol
lows:
"There are many eases in the National
Guard of men who have families depend
ent upon them for support, who cannot
leave for a campaign outside the state
unless they are absolutely needed. These
men owe it to their families to wait till
their services in the field are absolutely
needed, and arrangements will be made,
I have no doubt, so that these men will
Biot have to go with their regiments, and
so that they will not be considered any
the less good soldiers. They will still keep
tip their regimental standing, or, at least,
some plan will be devised by which they
will be held ready for home service, per
haps detailed to the mustering in and
drilling of volunteers.”
France is With Spain.
While professing neutrality, it cannot
be disguised that the sympathy of France
is with Spain. To what extent this sym
pathy will exert itself is impossible to say,
but a prominent American just back from
Faris—which is France—declares that the
governing classes there favor Spain.
“The young men, especially, are ardent
in their sympathy for the Spanish govern
ment. Os the innumerable newspapers in
Faris, only two favor the United States.
The governing men of France, or rather
the republic’s officials, do not say any
thing openly, but they have given out that
they do not approw of the intervention of
the United States in Cuba. There are a
number of causes for this feeling. Prin
cipally is the sympathy of one Latin race
for another, which sympathy is growing
stronger as against the suggestion of an
Anglo-American alliance. Italy has hail
trouble with the United States, ami is in
clined to side with Spain also. In Ger
many the situation is different, no matter
what reports«have made it out to be. The
Emperor is impulsive, but the official
classes control Germany’s policy, and the
vast body of Germany’s population is
against a hostile policy toward the United
States. Russia has always been the friend
<>f the United States, and is as firmly so
today as ever.
AH in all, however. European powers
could not come to any agreement among
themselves, much less act in concert.”
Sending Spaniards Home.
Although there wquld seems to be no
fear of violence to Spanish subjects resi
dent in this country, the Spanish authori
ties have ordered that ait Spaniards in the
Tinted States be sent home at once, and
the first party willl eave New York today,
a steamer having been chartered so- this
<s<i vice.
The Spanisn officials at Philadelphia
and many other points are taking a regis
ter of all Spaniards within their jurisdic
tion. This is not a census, as that was
taken December 31 last, but is for the spe
cial purpose of learning the numper of
these who desire to leave at once..
The Spanish government pays the ex
jicnees of all those who go to Cuba or
other Spanish ports. Some of those who
are about to leave prefer to seek an asy
lum in Mexico or Canada, in which case
iheir expenses for removal will not be
borne by Sapin.
This general movement is not inspired
by any fear of indignity, but is due to the
customary rule of international procedure
•that the subjects of a hostile power re
move from the territory of the country
■with which that hostile power is at war.
People buy newspapers for the news.
The paper which gives the most, best and
ithe most reliable news, and gives it while
it is news—before it is twelve hours old—
is the paper which sells. In Macon that
paper in The News, _
An Outrage.
The News has no desire to dictate to
council with reference to the selection of
[>aving material; but neither does it pro
pose to remain silent and see the people
who will have to pay for this important
public improvement and whose interests
are so vitally concerned, entirely ignored
and their requests treated with contempt.
It srenis to us that the property owners
on Cherry street and the merchants as
well have been most unjustly treatrtl in
the selection of a paving material for that
street. In a petition representing over 77
per cent of the property owners on Cherry
they iequested council io pave the street
with asphalt. The petition was referred
io the street committee, and then, as if
laughing at the wiMies of tho people who
have this work to pay for, council passes’
a resolution ordering Cherry paved with
vitrUnd brick.
Tho-, to uSe a common expression, is
running the wild hug over tue people in a
way that is not to be toleiauu, and 1 io,
..cwa hi.aitijj, joins witn tnoae wuuae in
dignant protest is heard on every hand
today. Council has Uu nghi to i ide rough
shod Over the people in this manner. Not
one nor a few men own the city oi Macon,
and they are making a grave mistake m
assuming to run things on that basis.
So tai as the work already dune is con
cerned, we have no complaint to make.
We belttve most people are agreed that
granite bus been laid on those streets
where granite was heeded. The work has
been well done; better dune, in fact, than
any to be found elsewhere. Bo that flic
streets already paved are away the best,
paved streets in inc country. .Nor uas mis
material been used over the protest oi a
majority of property owners.
But it is lime to cull a hail when coun
cil, in the face of a petition irom many
all tue property owners on a street, ig
uoicu all precedent by lirst taking contrary
action ami lheu referring the request ut
Hie properly owners In question io a com
mittee.
The people arc not to be trilled with in
this manner, 'they are in no burner to
submit further to any such iiagrant treat
ment. And The News proposes to voice
iheir protest until the right is established.
Patrolling the Coast.
The government uas divided the Atlan
tic seauoard into six districts tor patrol
and signalling, in ease ut war. This is a
new airange ment. This great work will
likely to devolve, at least in part, upuu
the naval reserves. There will be a fleet
of panel vessels provided, ‘Which will per
form much the same duty as does a watch
man on laud. In coiinecuuu therewith will
be signal stations on land, and a system of
intercommunication by which danger Hom
a foreign foe at ’any point can be flushed
to Washington in the speediest possible
lime. Not only will very valuable lime be
tnus saved, but the regular navy will be
relieved of much labor.
April in Histoiy.
April 19, 1775—Batte of Lexington.
April 21, 1846 —'First engagement of the
Mexican War.
April 12, 1801—Sumpter fired on.
Apr.il 13, istil—Sumter surrendered.
April 14, 1861—Lincoln’s first call for
troops.
April 9, 1865 —Lee’s surrender.
April U 4, 1865—Lincoln assassinated.
Surely petitions that are signed in good
faith by property owners who desire to ex
press their preference as to the material
to be used in paving the streets of the city
are deserving of some more consideration
than that given by council last night to
the petition for asphalt on Cherry street.
The property owners directly and indi
rectly pay for two-thirds of the work and
ought to be treated with courtesy at least.
It is a bad precedent for council to estab
lish. A petition signed by responsible
people demands consideration, and it
should be accorded. Otherwise the people
are powerless to express their views. Pe
titions are. in some cases, carelessly sign
ed, but where the signing of it directly af
fects the pocket amt the interest of the
signer the matter is usually weighed care
fully before the signature is attached. In
the petition presented to council last night
asking for asphalt, owners of property
representing 1,883 feet front out of a total
front of 2,870 feet, asked for asphalt. The
petition was referred to the committee on
streets and yet without reference to a
committee a resolution calling for the use
of vitrified brick on Cherry street was in
troduced by an aiderman not representing
the property owners in that ward and
passed without a dissenting voice.
Wall street men are said to be making
secret preparations to aid the govern
ment is ease of actual warfare. The idea
is to subscribe about SIOO,OOO for the pur
pose of raising a regiment to be supported
by the New York Stock Exchange. Besides
furnishing financial aid to the govern
ment, a number of Wall street men are
preparing to volunteer in case there is a
call to arms.
Last week the daily News circulated and
sold an average of 800 extra copies eacn
day. The minimum number sold any one
day was 400, the maximum number 1,100.
This is in addition to its regular local cir
culation, which is already larger than that
of any other Macon paper.
Has Spain caused a revolt among the
Oklahoma Indians? Taking advantage of
the withdrawal x»f the troops they are
about to go on the warpath.
The proposition to increase the tax on
beer to raise a war revenue puts many a
man’s patriotism to the extreme test,
thinks an exchange.
If Congress would now adjourn and give
some of the men who brought it on a
chance to go to the front, all might be
forgiven.
Patriotism without passion is the only
sort that is worth anything. The other
sort of jingoism. -

Absolutely Pure
Leap Years Will Enn Out.
“In time leap year will go out of exist
ence entirely, ” explained an almanac com
puter to a reporter, “but. as it will not oc
cur for over B<*O years, wo haven’t much
personal Interest in tho event. In the or
dinary course of events 1900 would be lean
year, but it will get left, in tho calculation.
In other words, while it does occur it docs
not occur, simply because it is not in tho
agreement that it shall occur. Tho story
is a long one, but it can bo briefly told so
that the average person can understand it
without jnuch difficulty. In 1682, in tho
arrangement of the Julian calendar, ten
days were dropped so as to get things run
ning on the then now but tbo present basis
of calculating time. So ns to keep things
running right it was determined that a
year ending a century should not be bis
sextile, except every fourth century. Thus
there wna no leap year in 1700, 1800 or
1900. It is, or at least was, rather rough
on tho ladies who have special advantages
in leap year, for it is tho only year that it
Is proper for them to propose themselves in
marriage, but it has always been so in
matters affecting womankind, men al
ways finding reasons for restricting their
privileges. The ladies get left again in
1900, but though there will not bo many
of those who see 1990 who will seo 3,000,
tho latter year, ending a fourth century,
will be a leap yenr» In this way three
days are retrenched in four centuries, aud
tho remaining seven days will be made up
in a little over 800 years. After that cal
endar years will bo like solar years and
future errors in tho calculation of time oc
cur no more. The loss of leap years will
in thousands of years affect the seasons,
but I suppose the mathematicians of tho
centuries hence will bo so flip in handling
figures and calculations that they will
have no difficulty in keeping things going
correctly. —Washington Star.

Good at the Price.
It was in the early days of the church,
and the singing, vs which the congrega
tion is now very proud, was in an embry
onic condition, owing to the scarcity of
funds, and not. very good. But the church
was struggling to do its best and its peo
ple were working hard. The warden was
uno of these. and ho had the interest of
everything very much at heart. He is
warden now, and-he tolls this story with
much of a Christian spirit or otherwise,
according to whether or nut people believe
in a militant. Christianity. Anyway, this
is what happened:
“1 find your singing very poor,” said a
showily dressed woman to the warden fin
pompous tones, as she left the church one
morning.
The warden happened to have been the
man who had taken the contribution on
the aisle on which the showily dressed
woman sat. Ho knew the amount of her
