Everybody Says So.
No paper in Macon has anything like the
local circulation of The News. And it is.
growing every day. Two hundred and fifty
two new subscribers since the war was
declared. To say nothing of from five to
eight hundred street sales a day.
The secret is easily explained. The peo
ple want the news on the day it happens,
The News is the only medium through
which those in Macon can get it. Its full
Associated Press telegrams give every
happening of importance in this and other
counties before they are more than a few
hours old, and it is this sort of news that
the people want. The News gives it, the
people read it.
The advertiser who gets into the home
through such a medium serves his best
interests.
Tlie shrewd advertiser knows that The
News is the best advertising medium in
Macon. It reaches not only more Macon
people than any other paper, but it reaches
the people who buy.
' Are we to understand that Senator Ba
con has come home to enlist?
The City of Paris is due tomorrow morn
ing. And'its dollars to doughnuts that she
won’t go to protest.
It is in order to remind the country now
and then to remind t'he country that Billy
■Mason has not yet enlisted.
The Chicago Journal makes the un
klndest cut of all. It remarks that Sher
man seems to have had his Day.
When William Yates attempts to use the
state militia to further his political for
tunes he goes just, one step too far.
Canada may apply the move on ordi
nance to Senor Polo. He is using Toronit
as a base for sending out Spanish spies
into American territory.
A happy idea. Why not let Governor At
kinson head two regiments of Georgia pol
iticians in t'he invasion of Cuba. Then the
people of (Georgia wouldn’t feel so sore
about this war.
There is a rumor that Third street will
■be paved with asphalt. Why is this; isn't
Third street, entitled to as good material
as Cherry? If asphalt is not good enough
for Cherry why put it on Third?
In no other state in the Union is the or
ganized militia to be disorganized and dis
rupted as is to be done in Georgia. In
every other state the integrity of the reg
ular organizations is to be preserved.
The jingo business is still doing business
at the old stand. A Western exchange
'warns the nations of Europe to go slow
in aiding Spain. It says we may decide
ito teach Europe a lesson, too, while we are
about it.
Now comes the rather startling inform
ation that council might have given Cherry
street property owners asphalt as request
ed if so much fuss hadn’t been made about
it. This is refreshing. What has the peo
ple’s protest to do with the merits of brick
as a paving material? By the way, who
owns this town anyway, its citizens or
council?
According to the correspondent of the
London Times. Spain’s Cuban debt up to
the end of 1897 amounted to $522,000,000.
It consisted of these items: The Cuban
bonds of 1886, J 118.010.200; Cuban bonds
of 1890, J 171.710.000; custom house bonds
issued in Spain for expenses of the war,
$113,300,000; notes of the Spanish bank
issued without specie guarantee for ex
penses of the war, JU,000.000; arrears of
pay to the army, navy and civil service,
$60,000,000; other outstanding debets,
$15,000,000. The present total of $522,000,-
000 is to be contrasted with the Cuban
debt of $170,090.000 in February, 1895,
when the insurrection began.
<
Among the offers received by the Presi
dent this week from patriotic citizens all
over the country for aid to the government
was a letter from Miss Helen Gould, of
New York, offering the gift of one hun
dred thousand dollars to the United States.
In her letter to the President Miss Gould
says she is willing at any time to double
the amount if the government desires it.
The generous offer of Miss Gould has been
acknowledged by the President, as have
been also a number of letters containing
indications of desires to make presents to
the government. Helen Gould is the
flower of the Gould flock. Her sister, it
will be recalled, is supporting a degener
ate French count.
Those few people who attempt to justify
Governor Atkinson in his proposed shake
up of the’Georgia troops evidently are con
fused as to the distinction between the
army reorganization bill and the -volun
teer bill. The call of the President for
325,000 troops, apportioned among the sev
eral states, has to do exclusively with the
volunteer army. The Hull bill provides
exclusively for the regular army, which
will be recruited up to 61.000 men, who
will be enlisted as privates in the regular
army for a term of three years, to serve
under regular army officers. These re
cruits can come from any part of the coun
try without respect to the quota of states
as indicated in the call for volunteers. A
company or any body of militia might en
list in the regular army from any state
without regard to the fact that that state’s
quota had already been filled in the volun
teer army, but they would enlist without
their officers and be put under the com
mand of regular army officers. There is
nothing in the Hull hill nor in the volun
teer bill that calls for the disruption and
reorganization of the regular state militia.
The Military Shake Up.
It is impossible to see how anyone can
justify Governor Atkinson’s course with
reference to the Georgia troops. That there
Is a political motive involved will not be
questioned by anyone who is not so wed
ded to the Atkinson ring that be refuses
to admit the truth. The word ’‘patronage”
is the key to the whole proceeding. The
governor wants to pay more political debts
and make more political debtors, and he
is taking advantage of the state’s misfor
tune in having to send her gallant sons to
the front in order to do it. Tliere is prob
ably no other politician in Georgia that
would dare do such a thing—but it must
be remembered that there is only one Bill
Atkinson. And any political chicanery
that he wouldn’t resort to would shame a
ward heeler.
The News was the first to expose Gov
ernor Atkinson’s motive in this matter,
but it is now being ably seconded by other
state papers. Within the past few days
the Atlanta Constitution has come squarely
out in opposition to the governor’s at
tempted shake-up of the Georgia troops
and in today’s issue of that paper is an
other timely and sensible editorial on the
subject. The Constitution makes out a
clear case, and we reproduce herewith
some of its most telling points. The Con
stitution s editorial is in part as follows:
The call for Georgia troops to serve in
the war against Spain has demonstrated
one of two things—either that the law
♦<" a/a 'People have been taxed
JZa.OOO a year for ten years to support the
military organizations is outrageously in
efficient or that the present shake up that
has been decided on does a grievous wrong
to the militia, as at pre-sent constituted.
Heretofore there has been no complaint
as to the efieiency of the law. Everything
has been running along smoothly and se
renely and the people of the state have
been left to rest in the belief that if we
did not have the best militia organiza
tion in the country, nevertheless we had
one Ihat ‘could be depentded upon in an
emergency which could he made ready
for service on a few hours’ notice.
‘Bui. now- that the unex|>ected has hap
pened, now that an emergency has arisen,
io and behold,!' we are given to under
stand that the law is a complete, an
odious failure and that for ten years the
people have been taxed to pay $25,000 a
year to maintain a militia organization
'which is found to be so incomplete and
insufficient that not only its officers, but
its rank and file, must be revised; in short,
the whole orga: i atio n must be revised and
remodeled, it is 'found that a man who
weighs less than 12S pounds cannot shoot
a gun, cannot endure fatigue, and, there
fore, cannot engage in active service. All
he can do is to sit on a log, chew tobacco
and cuss—-as we say in the vernacular.
Consequently the militia organization,
which in ten years has cost the people
$250,000 to maintain, now finds itself in
the midst o’s a great shake up, and neither
officers nor privates know who are to fall
from the bag first.
Let us not be misunderstood here. We
are not criticising the law. We do not
say that the measure has proved to be a
futile one. What we do say is that if a
shake up, such as has been mapped out,
is really necessary or unavoidable, then
our militia law is ah imposition on the
people.
On the other hand, if the law is what it
should be— if the results it 'has produced
are all that could be expected—then the
great shake-up now under way is wrong.
The issue lies (between the results of the
law and the shake-up. One or the other
is grievouely wrong.
But the great shake up shows that
something was .wrong (that is to say if
the shake up was justified) and very se
riously wrong. Runts of various sizes and
degrees had crawled in under the tent,
so to speak; and then the officers—well,
really, the members, of a company are
not to suppose themselves capable of
judging of the efficiency of their officers.
Hence the shake up.
The subject is too large to be settled
off-hand. Between the militia as it
stands and the extraordinary shake up
the public must judge. T'he militia is the
result of the law; is the shake up the
result Os the inefficiency of the militia?’
Os the appointments of commanding
officers of the two regiments which will
be sent as 'Georgia’s quota, nothing but
commendation can be said.
Now, if the governor in the selection of
the companies which are to form these
two regiments will give such recognition
to the, state militia as has been extended
in almost every other state in the union,
there will be no cause for complaint on the
part of the mi'lltia. It is naturally humili
ating to the state militia that he compa
nies, as at present organized and officered
cannot be accepted for service as has been
done in other states and we hope that the
governor 'will reconsider and give the
companies, as a whole, opportunity to vol
unteer, as has been done by t'he governor
of Alabama. Os course, this would not 'in
dicate that every company which volun
teers would be compelled to send every
one of its present members to the front.
For many reasons there are many members
■who would not volunteer and whose ex
cuse for remaining would be entirely valid.
Such vacancies as might be caused for
this reason would be 'promptly filled and
in this manner the ardor of the state
militia would not be dampened.
Will the Prizes Be Released?
There is a general feeling, not only in
other countries, but in the United States
as well, that some of the first captures
made by our fleet off Havana were unjust
and illegal, and it is not improbable that
as a result of President McKinley’s recent
proclamation relative to prizes, some of
these early captures may foe released, for
the prize courts will be in a great meas
ure guided by the terms of the proclama
tion. The popular elation over some of
the recent seizures, it is said, is not shared
by the administration. Overhauling harm
less merchant craft and fishing smacks
with war vessels is not only ingloriuos for
a nation going to war for an idea, but un
economical from every point of view, and
it is rightly contended that our able sea
men ought to be actuated in the war to
free Cuba by higher motives than greed
for prize money.
. A Washington dispatch says this idea
has been conveyed to Sampson’s fleet, and
that future capture will 'be made only with
a purpose to cripple the enemy, and strict
ly within the terms of the president's
proclamation of yesterday. Meanwhile, the
greatest liberality will be exercised in the
cases of these vessels already under seiz
ure. and some of them, with their cargoes,
are likely to be released entirely, even if
reparation has to be made for their deten
tion.
It is evident that the President’s pur
pose to give not the slightest cause for of
fense unnecessarily to nations whose moral
support and genuine sympathy at this tftne
are worth more to us than millions of dol
lars in captured sea prizes. This is clear
ly indicated by his proclamation relative
to Spanish vessels now in our ports or sail
ed for our ports before April 21st. In this
proclamation he goes far beyond the Paris
code, and even adopts principles which the
powers signatory to it were unwilling to
accept.
In short, it is generally felt that the
President s announcement of the principles
upon which this war with Spain is to be
conducted elevates our position to the
highest plane of international morals, and
can but appeal to the favorable considera
tion of civilized nations.
Two Records Reviewed.
The News publishes elsewhere today an
interesting review of the records of two
prominent candidatese for state house of
fices—Hon. O. B. Stevens, of Terrell, can
didate for Commissioner Os Agriculture,
and Mr. Nesbitt, the present incumbent.
The article, which will be found on the
third page of today’s News, is especially
interesting in view of the discussion that
has grown out of the recent work of the
special Legislative investigating commit
tee, it will be remembered, revealed a
very unbusiness-like administration of af
fairs in the Agricultural Department. The
report called forth a denial from Commis
sioner Nesbitt, and later an answer from
Chairman Blalock, all of which are inter
esting..
The agricultural department, as everyone
knows, is of vital importance to the state,
and requires at its head not only a prac
tical agriculturalist but a thorough busi
ness man. It is for the voters of Georgia to
determine, from the facts here presented,
whether such a man Is now in charge of
the department, and also whether the
gentleman who offers to succeed him 'would
be an improvement over the present in

A Washington Incident,
There was an interchange of courtesies
at a recent reception in which the wife of
a former congressman and the wife of a
bureau official were the principals. It was
a crowded afternoon affair, and the ex
congressman’s wife was assisting the host
ess in receiving the guests. When the wife
of the bureau official was presented, tho
hostess said to the woman of tho receiving
party, “You know Mrs. Blank, don't
you?’’ “Certainly,” said the ex-congress
man’s wife, “I would know her anywhere
by that pink dress.” The cheeks of the
