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 cumbent, So fiar as The News is con- fcOV4I POWDEB Absolutely Puffie cerned. it is frank to say it has made this The following powers have proclaimed their neutrality: Italy, the Netherlands. Switzerland. Norway and Sweden, Russia. Colombia. Great Britain. France. This in cludes four of the six great powers of Europe. Germany and Austria are still silent as to their intentions. Portugal, which owns the Cape Verd Islands, the Azores and the Madeiras, will probably declare neutrality today or tomorrow. decision itself, but this fact would not cause it to prejudice Mr. Nesbitt’s case in any way. In reviewing the records of the two candidates iwe simply present facts as they are—facts that are themselves mat ters of record. They are well worth read ing, for they will help every unbiased man who wishes to place the state Agri cultural Department in the best hands, to make his choice. Zho fas- WILL FIGHT FOR LEE.

It was a crowded afternoon affair, and the ex congressman’s wife was assisting the host ess in receiving the guests.
