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. - Advertisers should note the fact that The News’ circulation is swelling every day.

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.

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 contribution. ‘‘Don’t you think, madam,” he said, “that we had as good a 10 eent concert as you ever heard in your life?” “Oh, ” said the woman., appreciating his meaning and a little abashed, “I can’t afford to give more.” “Weil,” said the warden, “wo can’t afford to give any better music.
