Duty to Self and Family Above Misguided
Patriotism.
A few days ago The News called atten
tion to the duty of family men during the
present crisis, and quoted the brigadier
general of New York state, who very sen
sibly and al the same time patriotically
held that members of the national guard,
or state troops, who have families or oth
ers dependent upon them should not be the
first to go to Hie front. This distinguish
ed authority asserted most positively that,
so Tar as the troops of his own state are
concerned, such men would not be expect
ed to make such a nacriflce so long as
there are so many others willing and eager
to go in their stead. And their military
standing would not be affected thereby,
nor their patriotism brought in question.
This is such a sensible and timely state
ment that we feel that too much stress
cannot be laid upon it, so we again 'bring
it to the attention of those who from some
false idea of patriotism or wrong concep
tion of duty, may feel inclined to rush into
tins struggle before tiiey are absolutely
needed, involving great personal sacrifice
and hardships for their families.
But there is also another element of our
citizenship to w'hidli this line of reasoning
applies with equal force—those of our
young men who, though unmarried, have
otliers dependent upon them even in a
measure.
There are many of these in Macon and
throughout Georgia, as elsewhere. Among
the enlisted militiamen of our own city we
can name a goodly number 'Who if march
ing orders should come tomorrow, would
desert posts of duty even more sacred than
their enlistment involves. It 4s unneces
sary to state what these duties are. They
are the eons of mothers •widowed perhaps
by Hie last war. Or the sons of fathers
rendered impotent or reduced in circum
stances by that heroic struggle. Young
men who are helping to support widowed
mol'her* or helpless families. 'Who shall
say tiieir duty to these is not the most
sacred of all?
But what must they do? Must they de
sert their colors on the eve of battle? Must
they lie put in the attitude of deserters?
•No. And it is to place such as these' right
before their country anil in the eyes of
their fellows that we would speak—‘Would
have others speak before it is too late, be.
fore the sacrifice has been made.
instead of making a dramatic play by
■threatening to lead the Georgia troops to
the front and laughing at. the fears of
Georgia mothers while announcing this
intensely patriotic resolve on his part.
Governor Atkinson should exert the in
fluence of his high office to instill into
every young Georgian a sense of a stiill
higher duty a duty to the mother who
gave him birth and to others for whose
welfare he is responsible. Not only should
he do this, but he should, by virtue of his
authority, exempt from criticism every
young man who sacredly regards this first
duty until the time comas, if it must come,
when duty's most imperative call is else
where. The governor of Georgia should
speak out as General Hoe, of New York,
has done, ami should advise our young men
to do nothing rash- to refuse to rush into
this thing until it becomes absolutely nec
essary. This he can do without any sac
-1 dice of patriotism on his part and without
involving a similar sacrifice on the part of
anj one else.
If there he cowards who would take ad
vantage of such a declaration, they would
be cowards under other circumstances, and
these are not the sort of men Georg a
wishes to send to the front. Bit it might
t>ave to this state many nook' young citi
zens and to the mothers of Georgia many
helpful and devoted sons whose mistaken
sense of duty may send them to the front
•before they are actually needed.
This is all that the proposition involves.
It is one that must appeal to every rea
sonable, conservative mind Certainly it
m ust impress itself upon every son and
brother whose position in life is such as
■we described. And yet. because of a cer
lain amount of moral cowardice, he would
desert his post of duty at heme rather
than risk the danger of criticism or have
his patriotism and courage called in Ques
tion.
Tc such as these we would say show your
moral courage first. You know what your
family ties, your family obligations are.
Weigh the issue well, kook about you and
see others with no such responsibilities,
re such ties, eager, even frantic to tush
into the fray. While there are so many,
yea, too many, of these you are not needed.
You know, and sensible people know that
you are no coward for so doing. If some
fool doubts it. demonstrate to him your
physical courage on the spot.
But demonstrate your moral courage
first. Say to that aged mother, those de
pendent little brothers and sisters: “I
will not leave you until my country real
ly needs me. Then when that time comes,
kiss them goodbye, even though it may be
forever, shoulder your gun and march into
the thickest of the fray. Then, but not
until then, fight for your country as you
would fight for your home, as your ances
tors fought for theirs—and once again Il
lustrate Southern valor on the field of
battle.
Hut wait! Wait unril you are needed.
Wait until those who can go with less sac
rifices than yourself have gone. Wait un
til those who are eager for the fray have
been accommodated. Don't consider your
enlistment a moral obligation to go under
any and all circumstances. It Is not. Your
country does not require It, does not expect
it, does not need it. It wants no such sac
rifices until the time comes when such
sacrifices are necessary. Then make the
sacrifice. Sacrifice everything, even life
itself, if need be. on your country's altar.
lAt the proper time prove your patriotism
But remember that patriotism is not fool
hardiness. Don't be ashamed to make
known the circumstances which compel
you to hesitate. Be morally brave and by
that prove that where physical courage Js
required you can be the bravest of the
brave.
We commend these plain, conservative
thoughts to the consideration of the state’s
it, doese not need it. It wants no such sac
guard the interest of Georgians at this
and all times. We commend them to the
military commanders of this city and
state, whose duty it is to counsel as well
as command, and who now have the op
portunity to prevent many needle** eacrl-
flee* without lessening the strngth or ef
ficiency of their troop*. And we commend
them to the young men of Georgia whose
positions are as we have described and
who are called upon to chose between two
duties.
Shall Public Servants be Public Masters?
The New* has heard with no little satis
faction the words of commendation which
have greeted it* protest against council's
flagrant treatment of those of our citizens
who asked for food and were given a
stone—who petitioned for asphalt and have
been given brick. And their serious re
quest laughed to scorn, as kt were, by the
powers that have, assumed to pave the
street* of Macon solely according to their
own ideas and without regard to the
wishes of the people.
The News has hesitated to arouse feel
ing over this paving matter or to make an
issue of council’s action. But when digni
fied, earnest requests fail to secure even
serious treatment at the hands of public
servants, we are forced to conclude thta
it is time to call a halt.
In protesting against council’s action in
peremptorily ordering Cherry street paved
with brick in defiance of 77 per cent of the
people for this improvement—if, indeed, a
brick pavement be much of an improve
ment- we do not propose to discuss the
relative merits of brick and asphalt. Such
a discussion would prove interminable and
lead to no results. Some hold to one opin
ion, some .to another. Hut at last 77 per
cent ol 'he property owners of Gherry
street hold to the opinion that asphalt is
best and b» what they want, while certain
members of council, not two of whom owns
property on Cherry street, hold otherwise
—or, at least, vote that way.
This, it seems to us. ought to settle the
issue in favor of asphalt. What sort of
asphalt or whose asphalt being a matter
to be determined by quality and relative
cost of .the work.
Council, we say, has no right to over
ride 'the expressed wishes of 77 per cent,
and maybe more, of the property owners
on a street merely to please—who? It is
not right, it is flagrantly wrong, it is an
outrage. lit is making the servants the
masters of the people. And such a .thing
is contray to our form of government, na
tional, state or municipal.
The Tax on Coffee.
The proposed •war duty on coffee will
cause much consternation in all quartlers.
Coffee is a necessity of life, for the poor as
well as rich. A customs duty placed
on it, whether high or low, is sure to be
easy of collection. The poor man in his
modest home cannot boycott it because it
is a necessity of his ‘breakfast and a re
quired adjunct to his noonday meal.
Therefore it is that taxes upon such abso
lute necessities of life, Should be the very
last to be imposed and within the very
smallest amount.
The income tax, now considered by the
House Ways and Means Committee, should
be and can easily be so contracted to yield
sufficient revenue as to make the imposi
tion ot tariffs upon tea and coffee unnec
eessary,
John Wanamaker has written to the
secretary of war: “Though opposed to war
unless honorably unavoidable. I will, under
your instructions, raise a regifnent of
Pennsylvanians for military duty and go
with them for service.” He has also post
ed a notice in his iPhiladelphia stores
which announces that the positions of all
employes who may enlist for military ser
vice will be open to them when they re
turn and .their salaries will continue dur
ing their absence; also insurance to the
amount of SI,OOO will be paid by the firm
in the case of the death of any employe
while engaged in military service.
Should Fitzlhugh Lee be commissioned
Major General of United States volunteers
—Which seems to be the unanimous wish
of the administration and the people of
every part of the country—there would be
only three army officers his superior in
rank when commanding forces in the field.
The three generals that would be his su
periors would be Miles, Merritt and
Brooke. Tlhe generals of the United States
volunteers In active service would have
their relative rank determined by the date
of their commission regardless of being
in the volunteers’ or regular service.
Representative Brumm Is old enough
and has been in Congress long, enough to
have better manners than those of which
ho made an exhibition in the House on
Wednesdty. If tlhe bound volume of the
Congress'ion>al Record, which Representa
tive Bartlett hurled at him, had hit the
mark 'at which it was aimed, it would
have been demonstrated that voluminous
and costly publication can be put to some
practicall use, and Mr. Brumm would have
been taught a lesson he would not soon
have forgotten.—Savannah News.
Chairman Cannon, of the House com
mittee on appripriations, says that.no war
appropriations will be made except on
regular estimates from the various depart
ments. He says he understands that there
is about $18,000,000 of the $50,000,000 emer
gency fund still left. No accurate esti
mate has been made of the cost under .the
Volunteer bill considered in the House
today, bint it is thought it cannot be less
than $150,000 a day.
There is comment in diplomatic circles
in Washington at .the fact that Senor Polo
left the French ambassador and the Aus
tria-Hungary minister both in charge of
the legation at Washington, and it is said
that the reason the two were named was
to make public announcement that both
France and Austria were friendly to
Spain, and that if 'the powers acted these
two eoun.tries would side with Spain.
In volunteering, bo sure you know what
your are doing. In calling for only 80,000
troops from a country that can furnish ten
million, the government does not require
nor expect the services of men who will
have to make the greatest sacrifices. Wait
until you are needed. Let those who are
most eager for the fray go first.
The editor of the Hawkinsville News
and Dispatch has had a prophetic dream.
He says: “We dreamed the other night
that Mr. O. iB. Stevens was elected com
missioner of agriculture. While we have
not much faith in dreams, we would not
be surprised to see (this one come to pass.”
It is stated that Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage
desires a chaplaincy in the army in case
of hostilities.
Senator Mason should be drafted for
service in Cuba.
The Austrian Empress.
The old adage that a Christmas eve
child is born to sorrow is illustrated in
the case of the empress of Austria, who
was born on tho 24th of Decern tier, 1887.
The Duchess Elizabeth of Bavaria ■was
married to Francis Joseph of Austria at
the early ago of 16, and was then con
sidered the loveliest woman in Europe.
She was not well received by the great
families of Austria, who thought that
the emperor should have chosen a bride
from a more-famous house than a col
lateral branch of the Wittelsbachs of
Bavaria. The Hungarians, however,
went mad with enthusiasm over their
beautiful queen and throughout her
reign have remained her devoted slaves.
She was passionately fond of riding and
for long spent a portion of each year in
the hunting fields of England and Ire
land. The breakdown of her health
compelled her first to forego this pleas
ure, and then she was debarred from
fencing and even from her mountaineer
ing excursions. The unhappy marriage
of her only son and tho refusal of the
pope and the emperor to consent to his
divorce preyed upon her mind, and since
his tragic death years ago at Mayerling
she has led the life of a recluse. —San
Francisco Argonaut.

KATAHDIN’S TERRIBLE WORK.
One of the Crew Tells Fkiw it Would be
Done.
Old Point Comfort, Va., April 21 —Os all
the grand, gallant licet that rode on the
waters here only the Katahdin, the mon
ster rang remained last Wednesday morn
ing. She, too, went to the Norfolk navy
yard that day for minor repairs. Wnat they
were the officers would not state. But
this much they said:“We expect to be
back in a few nays."
There is only one regret in the breasts
of the Katahdin's men—that they could
not go with the Flying Squadron. They
had been told that they would go, but at
the last moment they got orders to the
opposite effect. They are .spill hoping
against hope that they may be allowed to
go. Or, failing a chance to become a part
of the Flying Squadron they would like
to go with some one battleship.
"All the men have their favorites. Some
prefer the Cincinnati, some the Oregon,
etc.
“What good are we here?” they say.
“We couldn’t protect a city. We arc only
good in the open or with the fleet. We
have to get close. We’ve only got four
six-inch guns. They’re nothing to the
13-inch weapons of some other battleships.
But whatever we strike with our rain nas
got to go. We will destroy any ship.
Captain Wild thinks this Katahdin is the
finest ship afloat, and so do we all.
“We only wish we’d get a chance to
prove it to the Spaniards. Nothing can hit
us fair, not one shot in a million, but that
would glance off our curved back and
leave us unharmed. They might carry off
our smokestack, but what of that? We
would Still laugh at them, waiting for our
rani to pierce and saw the enemy’s ship.
We're supposed to make 17 knots an hour.
That may not be fast, but anyhow, we
could go fast enough to make a big hole
in the biggest battleship on the water.”
“Thejt ought to take us to Key West.
We could prevent prowlers from doing any
harm.
"What we want is to make at least ten
Spaniards bite the salt water for every
one who went down on the Maine.
“We all had friends among them. The
only harm that we have to prepare for is
a torpedo. If one should hit us fair we
would be sunk like rats in a trap. All the
men, yon know, would be down below, and
never see daylight.”
The Katahdin always wears her war
colors—green, never gray. The order to
paint warships gray did not apply to her.
At sea she is a most unsattlsfactory tar
get, being hardly five feet out of water,
and that part curved so that all missiles
would glance off her. At some distance
her prow looks like the head of a bull dog.
She has only 90 men aboard.

Scared Tennyson.
Tennyson one day entered a club read
ing room and sat down iu a large arm
chair before the fire. Much to the amaze
meat of the other occupants of the
room, he proceeded to elevate his feet
until they rested on the chimneypiece
in “real American’’ fashion. No expos
tulations on the part of his friends re
specting the inelegance of the position
were of the slightest avail. Suddenly a
brilliant inspiration seized one of them.
Going close to Lord Tennyson, he whis
pered in his ear, “Take your feet down
or they’ll mistake you for Longfellow. ”
In an instant the poet’s boots were on
the floor, and he assumed the ordinary
position of an Englishman.—San Fran
cisco Argonaut.
Calm In Time of Emergency.
Servant (rushing in) —Ma’am, the
house is on fire!
Boston Mistress (who is giving a 5
o’clock tea) —Summon the fire depart
ment, Honoria, and do not disturb us
again. We are discussing the “crime of
the split infinitive. ” —Chicago Tribune.
CHEAPER ICE.
Notice to Ice Which Applies
to the Family Trade.
Owing to the great difficulties which we
have had in regulating the handling of ice
on our delivery wagons, we have adopted
the coupon system, which will be sold at
the following prices, viz:
240-<pound books in coupons of 12
pounds each SI.OO
500-pound books in coupons of 25
pounds each 2.00
1000-pound 'books in copons of 50
pounds each 4.00
2000-pound books in coupons of 100
pounds each 6.00
AH ice without coupons % cent per
pound, cash on delivery.
Books can be obtained from our drivers,
or telephone to 136, and same will be deliv
ered promptly. By this method w r e hope to
avoid complications and disputes from the
credit heretofore extended through our
drivers, and at the same time it gives our
patrons lower prices on their ice than they
have heretofore obtained.
All drivers are instructed to give full
weight and polite attention, and any com
plaint will be promptly invesigated.
