The News wa# the lir.st paper in Georgia to protest against Governor Atkinson's attempt to disorganize and then reorganize the state militia, in order that he might have Just that much more political pat ronage. Hut other newspapers have also seen through the governor's game, and they arc speaking out in condemnation of such pusillanimous method*. Today’s Atlanta Constitution has a very pointed editorial commending the course' pursued by. Gov ernor Johnston, of Alabama, llut otto can easily read between the lines warm critic ism of Georgia's peanut executive. The Constitution says: There set ins to be no doubt that the method adopted by Governor Johnston, of Alabama, in responding to the call for troops from his state is the wisest course that 'could have been followed. The necessary number of troops will be enlist ed by companies, and preference will he given to those ograni/.ations that compose the Alabama national guard. Titus the captain and officers of a company already organized are not disturbed and volunteer companies are permitted to choose their own officers. Tills is the course that should he adopt ed in Georgia. Under the wise plan of Governor John ston the commamling officers of the nat ional guard retain the positiQns which they now occupy, and there is to be no "shake-up” for political or other pur poses. The plan is wise because it is just. In every slate where there are military organizations the companies and regiments are olYieen d by nu n who have the confi dnece and esteem of the men under them, and who have won the places they hold by reason of their capacity, as well as by reason of the energy and enthusiasm they Jiave displayed in promoting the interests ami furthering the ends of the organiza tions with which they are connected. We pit some the conditions in Alabama are the same as 'those in Georgia, and of these last we can speak by the card. In this stale the officers of the regiments anti the coni pah leg, from the highest to the lowest, have devoted a large part of their time to increasing the efficiency and pro moting the esprit du corps of the organi zations with which they arc connected. In season and out of season they have devoted themselves to their duties, and it seems to be a pity that they should 'be shuffled about and shaken up. if there were any good reason tor it —if the shuffling about ami shaking up tended tb promote the efficiency of the troops—the case would be different; it would be recognized as right and proper. Hut, on the contrary, it seems calculated to produee the opposite result. u breeds discontent, and grates harshly against that sense of justice which would retain in their places the men who have had all the care and trouble of maintain- Ing the efficiency of the local military organizations. Governor Johnston, of Alabama, is to be congratulated on his wise avoidance of this source of discontent. By receiving the regiments and companies intact, with the officers who have been selected by the men themselves on account of their special fit ness for and their adaptation to t.he posi tions they occupy, the governor of Ala bama has wisely and effectually solved a problem which, to a sensitive mind, in volves grave difficulties when it is settled nny other way. In .Alabama the troops will be officered, by the men who have been found most satisfactory to the rank and file, and we trust similar wise policy may bo followed in Georgia. At any rate, it is to he hoped that our military organizations will not bo subjected to the discontent and soreness that may result from any policy that runs counter to the popular idea of justice. Meanwhile, we congratulate Governor Johnston on the wisdom and justice of the course he has followed. He has demon strated that he is a larger man than his office, and that is saying a great deal in these times. •* « One American Consul. Mr. McGarr, who bas stationed at Cienfuegos. Cuba, comes home with the report that Spanish rule' is about the best thing on earth for the Cu >ans. that few of the reeoncentrados have suffered from anything except over-eating, and that the insurgents are criminals and not entitled to any consideration. War Revenue Bill. L is expected that the war revenue bill, ’which will probably pass the House to morrow night, will raise from ninetv to one hundred million dollars. Tn addition to the proposed tax the hill authorizes the issue cf five hundred million in 3 per cent, bonds and the secretary of the treasury is -Iso authorized to borrow at any time not to exceed one hundred million dollars to be represented by certificates of indebted ness hearing 3 per cent, interest, to bo paiahle within a year from date of issue. There are two schedules of taxable art : - eles one on which the tax is represented by stamp* affixed, the other proprietary artii les, chewing gum and mineral waters The tonnage tax on tobacco is increased' For assessing ttnd collecting the taxes one hundred thousand dollars are appropriated and the employment of ten additional revenue agents authorized. The return front the taxes are estimated as follows- MsSnS? 1 HqUOrS ; tobacco, * m. 000,000, cigars, Jn.000.000; dealers in tobacco and cigars, $.-..fioo.ortfl; stamp taxes n ” documents, telegrams, etc., $30,000,000- stamp taxes on wines, mineral waters etc., undetermined; tonnage tax on ves sels engaged in foreign trade, $2,000,000. Tea and coffee are not touched, as all the meausures proposed for war revenues are Internal revenue taxes. Why not oall the Georgia militia "The Atkinson Legion," and let it go at that? Others May Take a Hand. Already certain European nations are becoming involved in rhe Spanisn-Amer ican war, and It would be no surprise if before the end of the year Anglo-Saxon and Latin are arrayed against each other. The information conus today that Por tugal is aiding Spain in every wav possi ble. Not only by allowing Spanish war ships to remain in her port*, but by pro hibiting the sending out of telegraphic in formation regarding the movements of these warships. Following this comes the information that England is iiK-t*nse*i at Portugal's ac tion and may make a formal protest. An other significant action on the part of England is the call for British warships at Poito Rico, to protect American inter ests there, which have been left in charge of the British consul. Ail of this indicates a disposition on the part of Gnat Britain to take a hand in the affair in behalf of the I'nitcd States, and on the part of Portugal to give Spain all the assistance in her power. It may be believed, that Austria is quite as eager to join Spain, should the opportunity present Itself, and such action on her part might eventually involve France and Italy. Then nothing could keep Russia out of it. and, of course, Germany would be forced into the fight. None of the latter contingencies are im mediately probable, but they are decidedly possible, and there need he no surprise if the present century ends with a universal war —Anglo-Saxon on one side and Latin on the other. In this event t.he result can easily be prophesied. The Anglo-Saxon race, as it has always done, would triumph in the end. Stevens Well in the Lead. A letter from Telfair eoun'ty to The News makes the positive statement that that section of the state will support Hon. <). B. Stevens for commissioner of agricul ture without a missing link. The people are ripe for a change in the Agricultural Department, and they recognize in the dis tinguished .Southwest Georgia farmer and statesman the man for the place. They have not forgotten the recent report of the investigating committee concerning the Agricultural Department, and they are ex pressing themselves very freely again.dt Colonel iNesbitt’s administration. The News also has it from excellent authority that Chatham, Richmond and Muscogee will give Stevens their votes, which, with Bibb’s votes, will give four out of the six principal counties of the skate. And it is by no means certain that he won’t carry the other two —Fulton and Floyd .His friends are at work in ever/ section.of the state, and will make his nomination and election sure. With Hon. O. B. Stevens in charge of the Agricultural Department that branch of the state government will enter upon a new career of usefulness. His will be a practical, business adminis tration of its affairs. Are Planting Food Crops. The war with Spain promises 'to have at least one good effect—it has frightened Southern farmers into planting food crops, instead of all cotton crops, as heretofore. Reports from every section of 'the South indicate that the acreage of corn, oats, wheat, potatoes, etc., is larger than was ever before known, while more attention is being paid to raising cattle and hogs. In many sections, it is said, farmers have ■actually ploughed up a portion of their cotton crop, and put in corn instead. This is well, and it goes without saying that the South will come out of the present war in a more prosperous condition than ever. The war lias already started the prices, of grain and provisions on the up grade, and they are sure to go higher. There will lie a ready market for all of the South's food crop, and the result will he more money in the pockets of Southern farmers, to say nothing of more hog, hominy and hay on the farm. The Army Private. The life of a private soldier of the United , States is not all roses, neither is it One of . gri at hardship, says the Birmingham News, which paper gives some interesting ’ in format ion about the .army private. While a man is required to relinquish many of his personal liberties, he is at . the same time provided with much he pays dearly for as a private citizen. The pay ranges from sl3 a month to $23, the latter being thp highest compensation of a non , commissioned officer. Besides this each man receives medical attention, medicines, clothes, 'beddiing, etc. In the enlistment of soldiers come the most interesting and many times the most surprising features of the whole business. An impression prevails with many that i't is an easy lvting to get into the army of hte United States. But such is not iby any means the case. On the contrary, • only about ten per cent of those who apply are accepted, and in the non-acceptance there is certainly no reflection on the partiotism of the American man, the trouble being s witih the physical make up of a targe per centage of the men of the country. Only about one in ten of those who apply for enlistment can pass the gauntlet of phys ical and moral requirements of the recruit ing department. The following are the linos that recruits are compelled to come inside of so as to become defenders of the nation in the reg ular army, according to regulations: Applicants for enlistment must be between the ages of 21 and 30 years, unmarried, or good Character and habits, able-bodied, free from disease, and must be able to speak, read and w-rite the English lan guage. ■Minors are not enlisted, except boys be tween the ages of 16 and IS, who may be needed as musicians, and who have the written consent of father, only surviving parent or legally appointed guardian. Original enlistments are confined to per sons who are citizens of hte United States, or who maw have made legal declartion of their intention ot become citizens there of. For infantry and artillery the height must not be less than 5 feet 4 inches, and weight not less than 12S pounds and nor more than 190 pounds. For cavalry the height must not be less than 5 feet 4 inches and not more than 5 feet 10 inches, and weight not to exceed 165 pounds. The following table shows the physical proportions for height, weight and chest measurement: Chest Measurement. Height. - At inches. Pounds. expiration.

T. Kenan, of Macon, as senior major of Georgia troops was a most excellent one —in fact, the very best that could have been made. But it does not follow that all of the governor's appointments will be equally commendable. On the contrary, it is not improbable that the governor sim ply used the itppointment of Major Kenan to -counteract or offset the criticism that his flagrant usurpation of authority has called forth. By making an appointment that will meet with general approval he hopes to appease the public and turn at tention from his future acts. While hear tily applauding the appointment of Major Kenan. The News does not fail to recog nize thht 'he received at the hands of the governor * no more than he was already entitled to -under the existing organization, which, instead of being com pletely disorganized ns Governor Atkinson is doing, should be preserved as nearly in tact -as possible. It is stated that a "Life of the Prince of Wales” is soon to be issued. It will probably be barred from the mails in this country. It is contrary to % the ideas and senti ments of Georgians to have their state's miiida mixed up in politics. POWDER Absolutely Pure Japan an Object Lfstoo. Japan’s present experience Is affording the world sonio exceedingly valuable testi mony on a variety of important economic problems. She furnishes n panoramic ob ject lesson In Industrial evolution so rapid that we may perhaps see the whole process of transformation from barbarism to com- i parnlively advanced civilization in the courso of one generation The very rapid ity of movement increases the friction and hardship, but it will bring Japan out of the slough all the sooner. Capital Is in troducing the instruments of civilization; upon labor rests tho responsibility of dis tributing the boneflts of that civilization throughout tho naticn. The method by ! which they will hove to do this Is tho same •hat has of necessity been resorted to wherever the ftietory system has appeared and developed—namely, organization. They must organlzo to demand better wages, organize to securo shorter hours, organize to bring pressure upon tho legis lative authorities for the enactment, of bu mano factory labor regulations, without which the conditions of toil are even more degrading and stultifying than under the ancient systems of industry.—Gunton’n Magazine.

A firm of booksellers was called uj? late one even ing by telephone, and in respo so to the Inquiry it was stated that the firpi had in stock a number of very valuable books. Tho caller thanked the Arm and remark ed that he would bo in in the morning to purchase some. When morniny'came, the shop was found to have been broken open, and tho very books about which inquiry over the telephone had been made wero stolon. This shows the enterprise of the modern burglar.
