A Striking Contrast.
A« The News has alriady mentioned, the
action of Governor Atkinson in Juggling
with and diiw/anizing the state troops in
order to further his own political or per
sonal ends Is the most high-handed piece
of business ever attempted by a state ex-,
ecutive, ami enough to take the patriotism
out of ev< ry volunteer soldier in Georgia.
It is Governor Atkinson's plan, unlesis he
change's it viry materially, to completely
wipe but the present militia organizations,
so far as the present war is concerned and
to substitute eompaniis and regiments yet
to he recruited, and place these in
command of two of his favorites; dishing
out the other commissions, no doubt, as
may best s. rve ills political ends. This he
dots in llie lace of precedent and without
any good reason therefor. In order to do
it he not only ignores precedent, but rank,
experli m e and 'ability as well.
Il is by far the most colossal piece of
nerve that even 'Hill Atkinson has ever ex
hibited, and lit should be resented by the
militia of Georgia in away that will make
that worthy wince, as thickeel-skinned as
he is.
In marked contrast to the method of
mustering in the Georgia troops is the
method to be pursued in Alabama, where
the state's chief executive thinks of some
thing besides the political aspect of the
thing. In response to the president’s call
for troops. Governor Johnson has issued
the following, plain, sensible proclama
tion :
“f. Joseph F. Johnston, governor of
Alabama, hereby notify the people of
Alabama that such call has been made,
and that I will receive for such service,
companies of infantry, to the number of
t wenty-iilght, each company containing
not less than eighty men.
“(\>mplyln« with the request of the
president, preference will be given to the
companies composing the Alabama na
tional guard, hut the Infantry of the said
guard not being sufficiently numerous to
supply the troops called for, tenders of
volunteer companies will be received.
tom mantling officers of infantry com
panies of the national guard desiring to
serve, and of volunteer companies, will re
port 'tomorrow by wire to the adjutant
general al Montgomery, Ala., stating the
number of men enlisted and ready to move
nt once."
This course is one which was determined
upon by Governor Johhston as meeting the
exigency of the ease, and at the same time
avoiding the possible charge of seeking
patronage jn the organization of the state.
The idea of calling for general enlist
ments ami organizing new companies and
regiments was one which, notwithstand
ing the enlarged patronage it would give
him, he instantly dismissed, realizing that
the men of Alabama who had already,
otganizcil themselves and done service for
the state were entitled in their official
character to recognition.
Under the governor’s call each volunteer
company of the state can take the matter
under advisement, excusing such mem
bers from service as do not want to go,
and filling their ranks with new enlist
ments. The consequence will be that when
the two Alabama regiments go into the
field, they will be officered by their own
commanders, and will carry with them the
Alabama spirit and dash, and maintain the
honor of the state in whatever position
they may be placed.
Governor Johnston’s course is, as we
have said, in marked contrast to the pus
silanimous course of Georgia’s governor
The former simply calls out the state
troops in the plainest, easiest way possi
ble, so as to preserve the present organ
ization. The latter causes a general shake
up of the entire state militia, in order that
HE may reorganize it, and thereby dis
pense Just that much more patronage. We
repeat that every number of the Georgia
militia would be justified in resigning at
once until such time as the state can
claim an executive worthy of confidence
and respect.

Government Crop Report.
The government crop report just issued
by the department of agriculture, is i n
aei-ord with all of the unofficial reports
and other indicia of favorable agricultural
prospects heretofore presented.
It was feared that the unexpected ad
vent of cold weather at the end of March
with heavy frosts and snow storms in
nianj the country, bad done great
damage to winter wheat. The government
report, however, shows this apprehension
to have been without foundation.
Instead of the cold snap reducing con
ditions to a lower standard than at the
previous time Last year, the report reveals
an encouraging improvement in compari
son. The condition of winter wheat, ex
pressed in figures, is now 86 against 81.4
last April, and 77.1 in April of 1895 This
Ague represents the general average. Some
states show a considerably higher condi
tion, notably Pennsylvania. Michigan and
Kansas. The lowest averages of impor
tant wheat states are those of Illinois and
I. anrornia, 75 and 62 respectively.
The ruling American passion is strong
even in war. A combination has been
formed in Kansas City by the mule traders
of that city and of St. Louis for the pur
pose of running up the pfice. and thus
profiting by 'the needs of the government.
As with the army mule so with countless
other items of military necessity.
Is There No Appeal.
The News has just one more word to say
before a petition for injunction (as. in
justice, one should be) is brought against
the arbitrary, unjust and unprecedented
action of council 4n ordering Cherry street
paved with a material that is objection
able to over 77 per cent of the property
owners and over 90 per cent of the tenants
on said street.
From the first The News has refused to
discuss the relative merits of brick and
asphalt as a paving material. We have
simply taken the position that the people
who are to pay for this public improve
ment should be given whatever material
they may prefer when they are so nearly
unanimous in their choice as are the
Cherry street property owners and tenants.
This is the whole issue, and we once again
warn the mayor and council of Maiun that
this outrageous action of thelr's will recoil
on them sooner or later.
The people will not submit forever to
such high-handed dictation from eight or
t< n mi n men whom they have chos< n as
public servants, ami not mastefr. The
p< .pie understand this thing. They have
time and again before sips the majority
of council answer to the crack es the
whip, and they have more than once been
distgusti 1 with the performance.
But r.cw that their inter, t-, are at stake,
now tlvat their property and their pocket
books are Involved, council’s complete
subsr i vience to the will of one man or a
few m: n is calculated to arou-.e their in
dignation as well as disgust and distrust.
We do not believe thi re i.s another in
stance on record in any citv >• the couif
try. not even in Tammany-bosmed New
York, win re the people’s representatives
in count il have dar. d Io over-ride the will
of the people—and laugh at. their protest—
in such a flagrant manner as the Macon
council has done.
Under ordinary circumstances we are op
posed to injunction proceedings to inter
fere with the acts of legislative bodies, but
we are free to admit tbat there are tim.s
when justice can be secured nowhere short
of the courts, and in this instance we think
ihe property owners on Cherry street
would be justified in seeking redress from
that source.
There was never a political dynasty so
strong that it could over-ride the will of
the people and laugh at their protests for
long.
The Desecration of Memorial Day.
It is to be regretted that there should
ever tie occasion for with refer
ence to the observance of Memorial Day
in the South, and yet every right-minded
man and woman of true Southern instincts
who witnessed- the observance of Memorial
Day in Macon yesterday cannot fail to jus
tify crlticsm of certain occurrences that
marred the day.
'We do not say that the majority of our
people f:flled to show proper respect for the
day. To her credit it can be said that in
no Southern city are the memories of the
Lost Cause held dearer than in Macon. And
it is also true that the people who make
Macon what she is never fail toobserve
Memorial Day in a manner entirely ap
propriate to the occasion.
But it is unfortunately true, also, that
there is another element in the communi
ty whose observance of the day amounts
practically to a desecration. We refer to
the people who make of Memorial ’Day a
■lay of frolic—a day for sports, for drink
ing. carousing and olng other things en
tirely out of harmony with the spirit of
the occasion.
If Memorial Day has any meaning at all
it is a solemn one. If it cannot be sol
emnly observed, it should not be observed
at all.
And yet what right-minded person could
look on the scene at Rose Hill cemetery
yesterday without shuddering at such a
desecration—not only a desecration of the
day, but of the place itself. To one who
had loved cnees, sleeping, unfortunately
hear the sacred snot set apart for the
1 South’s soldier dead, the conduct of,a large
portion of the crowd was offensive to a
degree. A V<r a of wild cattle could not
have been more callous, and had the
mounds around (to many sacred shrines)
'been mere meaningless piles of stone,
they could not have been more rudely at
tacked by the thoughtless, yes, heartleses,
mob that, sacrificed common decency itself
in an effort to see and be seen.
For this dirorder and desecration the
police could not be blamed, for the very
few who are placed on duty at the ccme
tcryon these occasions are practie-allypow
erless to preserve order. There is only one
remedy, and that is for public sentiment
to call the offenders to account. Or. per
haps, for their own consciences, if they
possess such a thing, to enable them to
ee themselves as others see them.
ißut this heartless desecration of
family lots at Rose Hill is not. the only
thing to be complained of. It is of itself
an offense apart from the others. While
it alone betokens a disrespect and spirit
of disorder wholly out of keeping with the
occasion, yet it affects more the individual
than the sentiment which makes Memorial
Day a sacred occasion.
.The main desecration of the day itself
consists not only In the boisterous and un
seemly conduct of those who gather osten
sibly to pay their respects tn the South’s
soldier dead, but It lies also in the setting
apart of the day as an occasion for sports
and pleasure—a sort of sectional holiday
entirely foreign to the real meaning of the
occasion.
In this connection we can but express re
gret that two of the leading colleges of
the state allowed the day to be so observ
ed by their representatives. And it is
doubly to be regretted that there is a sen
timent among a certain element of our
people that would make such an event
possible on Memorial Day.
Indeed it is a serious reflection on our
city and section that so many of our peo
ple give themselves over to frolic and
pleasure on this solemn occasion, evincing
none of bhe feeling which patriotism would
prompt. We can but think what must
have been the thoughts of .those who wit
nessed yesterday for the first time the ob
servance of Memorial Day in the South
Certainly they could not have been credita
ble to the sentiment and sincerity of our
people.
Thus are the earnest, serious efforts of
the South's best men and women discred
ited by the thoughtless, brainless, breed
ingless conduct of the rabble. It is enough
to make any old hero of the Lost Cause
now weep for those for whom he once bled.
When the people protest council laughs
in its sleeve and files the protest “for fu
ture reference.” The people should file
the minutes of council for future action.
Privateering.
The question has been frequently asked
of late, “What is privateering?” It is a
question tha.i has become of widespread
interest since the beginning of hostilities
between the United States and Spain; es
pecially so since the latter government
threatens to resort to this mode of war
fare. The .Spanish government in a decree
just issued announces its right to resort
to privateering, and adds: “The govern
ment now considers it most indispensable
to make absolute reserve on this point in
order to have recourse to privateering
when we consider it expedient.”
While, a§ the above shows, .Spain has
not yet adopted this course, yet the numer
ous applications for commissions as priva
teers and the tendency of public sentiment
in Spain would seem to indicate the pur
pose of that government to resort to the
practice sooner or later.
It is, as we have said, of no little inter
est. therefore, to fully understand the
meaning of privateering and the rights of
privateers.
Privateers are armed vessels belonging
to private owners, the subjects of a bel
ligerent country, but holding commissions
from the sovereign of that country. They
are not entitled to the full rights which
the comity of nations extends to public
ahlpg of war, and different rules have been
adopted by different countriea, and by the
same countries at different times, as to
the disposition of their prizes.
The declaration of Paris of April 16,
1856, abolished privateering as far as the
signatory powers were concerned. But
neither the United States nor Spain agreed
to this declaration, and, of course, have
not been considered as bound by it. The
POWDER
Absolutely Pure
natural tendencies of the United States 'as
one of leaders of the world’s progress
would seem to point to its abandonment
of the practice of privateering, and this is
precisely what has happened, and is made
apparent by the declaration issued last
week by the state department. This decla
ration is to the effect that it will be the
policy of this government not to resort to
privateering, and that it will adhere to the
rules that a national flag covers enemy’s
goods, with the exception bf contraband of
war; that neutral goods not contraband of
war are net liable to confiscation under
enemy’s flag, and that blockades in order
to be binding must be effective.
The Nashville (Banner directs attention
to the fact that our war with Spain has at
once demonstrated the necessity of a canal
through the Isthmus of Panama or byway
of the Nicaragua Lake. This is a most
important matter, which our government
has too long neglected. In the present
emergency a water-way connectfon be
tween th*' two oceans would be of immense
advantage. Our battleship Oregon, for
instance, with a canal communication,
would have long since been able to join
the squadron at Key West, instead of
losing so much time in making its way
around the South American continent.
Should Spain send one of her strong
squadrons into the Pacific we would feel
the need of a Panama or Nicaragua canal
in away that might be distressing.
The St. Louis Republic wanrs the ad
ministration to steer clear of some of the
reefs that caused lots of trouble to both
the Union and Confederate causes nearly
forty years ago. It says: “During the first
two years of the civil war many regiments
and not a few brigades were rendered
worthless on the Northern side—the
Southerners suffered some, but not to the
same extent—by the noxious prevalence
of officers whose training and motives
were purely political.” Respectfully re
ferred, also, to Governor Atkinson, in view
of his flagrant attempt to make the Geor
gia militia a body of mere puppets for the
furtherance of his own personal and poli
tical purposes.
Governor Atkinson and the Hull bill
have completely robbed the organized mi
litia of Georgia of its identity, consequent
ly it is relieved of any obligation to volun
teer as such. As individuals? yes, if they
like; but as companiese or regiments, no.
At least two members of council, Aider
men Huthnance and Taylor, went on record
last night as having no desire to dictate to
the people. They are willing to be public
servants; not public masters.
The Hull bill was outrageous enough in
its provisions,’ but Governor Atkinson has
made it ten times worse by taking advant
age of it to reorganize the state militia
according to his own lilting.
Between Governor Atkinson and the Hull
bill it will be strange if there is enough
•patriotism left in Georgia to muster a cor
poral's guard.
Council, we see, decided last night to
stick to. what is wrong rather than do
what is right.

For Three Years He Suffered Could

his sufferings seem little short of mar

long, weary, wakeful night and a
struggle to breathe was before him.

The Austrian Empress.
The cl<l adage that a Christies eve
child is born to sorrow is illustrated in
the case of tho empress of Austria, who
was born on the "4th of
The Duchess Elizabeth of Bavaria was
married to Frantis Joseph of Austria at
the early ago of 16, ami was then con
sidered the loveliest woman in Europe.
She was not w< 11 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 Wittelsbaehs us
Bavaria. The Hungarians, however,
went mad with enthusiasm over their
beautiful queen and throughout her
reign have remained In r devoted slaves.
She was passi. nately fond of riding and
for long spent a portion of each year iu
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
