A Good Thing for Macon.
The Nows has heretofore been outspoken
in 'Ms deiinaml for an inuproved dec,trie
light and ihwi r service for 'Macon. With
others we have f< !•: the need for a modern
plant and a 'belter survice, and we have
realized l liait M.vcon iuais ibeen consideralbly
'hampered th'rou’gh flack of these things.
A lew iwet k. ago Tlie News made the
gratifying <annou,nee.m< irt that certain local
panties were negotiating for the purchase
of the presen,t plant, mil'll a view to giving
Macon such 'a service as a city of her size
and 'importance 'requires. It is now ,in
order, 'therefore, for The (News to congrat
ulate tlie people of Macon upon the fact
that those ncgoXiiations have ended in a
transfer of ,L9ie iplant to Hon. T. J. (tai ling
and associates, who "will 'at once undertake
to 'bring the plant uip .to the iproper stand
ard.
We can imagine f<w things of more
value anil inijKirtaiice to IMtaeon titan this
transaction. It guarantees the fulfililiiien.t
of one o>f itlie 'city’s greatest needs —a mod
ern electric 'light, an'd ipower plant; one ,in
keeping with the size of the city. It guar
antees further .satisfactory ami economi
cal .management. inasmuch as the pliant is
now in the hands of ipraetleal men .who
understand every feature of the business
and w'ho are enterprising enough to meet
ail) the requirements ipuit upon 'them.
We can easily ibelieve that the new own
ers wall do everything 'in their ipower for
the developmeint of Mheon by increasing
the capacity and efficiency of their plant,
ho as to enable .Industries to get the bene
fit of cheaper ipower, 'a tiling which, to the
detriment of Macon,' has long 'been lack
ing.
We think it is but due these gentlemen,
in turn, for our people ,to encourage them
also in 'their new undertaking. It is to
our mutual interests to work for the
growth and success of .this enterprise, for
upon iit de.peii'ds, in ia measure, 'the growth
and iiuprovciiK nt of 'Macon.
Spain wants another chance to get rid of
the balance of her navy before she will
talk about peace.
War’s Effect on Business.
The actual effort of whir on 'business,
barring 'tlie sentimental .features. ought
not be disturbing. As yet nothing has
been done by either Spain or the United
States to make a difference in the mate
rial interests of the two countries. Cuba’s
trade iwtis already paralyzed and the
change with regard to our relations with
that country not enough to effect our in
terests largely. But war does seriously
effect business. -’Matthew (Marshall.” the
financial editor of the New York 'Sun, has
this to say with regard to the matter:
The 'present iwar will not, probably, di
minish the inumber of consumers nor their
power to consume, because it will lead to
no gnat mortality among cither our sol
diers or our sailors, and these, wherever
they may be sent, will have to be clothed
and Ted and supplied with munitions of
war. What iit can do. however, is to di
minish the expenditures of non-eomibatants
and thus restrict their consumption of the
products of industry. This will be the
work of imagination and not that of neces
sity. it will be like the .panic of frugality
which follow.d the financial .panic of 1893,
and from which t'he country has only re
cently begun to recover. Evidently, if
every man sets to .work to see how little
he can spend of his own labor in employ
ing the labor of his fellow mien, all busi
ness must cease, except that wlflch sup
plies the barest necessities of 'life. Jf, for
the next twelve months, nobody buys new
clothes, or new furniture, if everybody re
frains from consuming wine, beer, and to
bacco. from entertaining his friends, and
from supplying his family with other food
than bread and potatoes. the purveyors of
clothing, furniture, butchers’ meat, wine,
beer, tobacco, fruit, and similar luxuries,
"ill have, themselves, to come down to an
equally frugal style of living, and our
present edifice of industrial activity .will
go to pieces. Such a calamity cannot be
attributed to war. It would proceed from
pure fright, to which, it is safe to say.
American citizens have too much good
sense to succumb.
Even conceding, therefore, that the first
effect of the war has been, in a measure,
to Check the volume of ordinary trade;
t. is effect cannot be otherwise 'than item
porary, and will speedily be followed by
renewed activity. The industries s<M in
motion to create war material do not. in
deed, add to the permanent wealth of the
country, but they supply employment to
hundreds of .thousands of people and fur
nish them with the means of indirectly
employing hundreds of thousands of other
people. Nor are these industries any less
profitable to the community than many of
those of peace. Powder and shot, when

The Brooklyn Times pays this just trib
ute to the Irishmen as fighters: ’lt was
v. ma " *~ ith the KOO ‘’ o’* name of
Patrick who fired the first shot in this
war between Spain and the United States
and why should it not be so? Are not the
Irish always ready to do battle against op
pression and tyranny? .Have not the Irish
furnished more soldiers for the world in
proportion to their numbers than any oth
er nationality? There have been few bat
tles fought in modern times in which
Irishmen have not been in the thickest
of the fighting.”
Spanish Valor.
We know it is the popular thing to de
cry everything Spanish, but we admire
bravery even in an enemy, and we cannot
refuse to give the Sapnlards credit for
what they are.
Spanish honor may be an unknown quan
tity in many respects, but so far as it In
volves courage it cannot be called in ques
tion. in the face of overwhelming odds,
of certain defeat, of suffering and death,
they have refeused to yield, and since en
tering upon this, to them, hopeless strug- I
gle, the y have already had an opportunity i
to prove their valor. And they have done i
it in away that has few parallels in mod- I
ern history.
Say what we please about them, the
Spaniards, so far as their valor is con
cerned), have up to date acquitted them
selves in away that must prompt admi
ration even from their enemies.
Entirely Appropriate,
It has been well said that this is a poli
tician’s wtir. In a majority of instances,
therefore, the military appointments made
under she now volunteer bill have been
entirely appropriate. •
This has been true of some of the Geor
gia appointments no less than others. In
fact it had been, in more instances, more
flagrantly true.
It need not be considered strange (that
the general public fail .to enthuse over this
war. when they see it conducted on the
plan of a ward election, as it were.
But being a politicians w, it is prob
ably right and projHr that politicians
should, for .the. most part, be put in com
mand.
The Rome Tribune has an editorial on
"Why Fudge Atkinson is Winning.” The
same authority could no doubt explain
why Dewey was defeated. Anyithing is
po.-;.-,ible with the Tribune iwhen there is
nothing but conscience and facts in bhe
way.
It in definitely understood that the Ila
waiian minister has been advised that this
country will not change its policy toward
the'Hawaiian Islands, pending congression
al action on annexation. In other words,
the island will not be seized as hereto
fore contemplated.
It is positively announced from Wash
ington that there will be no bombardment
of either /Havana or Santa Clara, for the
reason that the guns and fortifications of
these two cities will be necessary for their
defense after their capture.
A Florida exchange correctly declares
that all editors will join in a petition that
Congress tax war poetry along with beer
and whisky.
If Don Carlos is wise be will come to the
conclusion that the game is not worth the
candle.

Glad He Was Not Like These.
“I haven’t any sympathy for trio peo
ple who are always complaining and whin
fig, ” remarked the man with the troubled
own upon his forehead. “In tact, 1 be
lieve that the men and women who are al
ways fancying themselves ill used and
grumbling at other people ought to be
confined just as much as if they had hy
drophobia or got drunk; but there are
some troubles a man really can’t help
mentioning. *
“Now, for instance,” ho continued fret
fully, “I don’t suppose nny man in Chi
cago lias more real worries than I have.
My wife tells mo every night that she’s
tired of hearing me talk of them, and the
other men in the office begin, to tell funny
stories just as soon as I come around out
of sheer aggravation, I believe. My chil
dren run out of the room whenever I got
ready for a nice, long, confidential chat
with one of them, and even the dog howls
when 1 get ready to talk, I’m nearly al
ways so sad. But do I go round telling
people what a martyr to fate and other
people I am? Well, I guess not, my friend.
I haven’t a particle of use tor a chronic
complaincr. ” —Chicago Times-Herald.
Grcwsome Birthday Celebration.
M. do Paris, otherwise Dolbler, the pub
lic executioner of Franco, has just cele
brated his seventieth birthday in a grew
soiue fashion by executing at Bastia, in
Corsica, the murderer Fazzini. The scaf
foldings of the guillotines remain in tlie
prisons throughout Branco where execu
ik>ns may take place, but the knife is never
out of M. Deibler s possession. He carries
it in a long leather satchel, not unlike
an elongated dress suit ease. When he
leaves Pa-is with his grim instrument of
justice, a small army of newspaper men
usually accompany him in the hope that
something may happen. His trip to Cor
sica was hardly noticed, however, on ac
count of the Dreyfus excitement. Dcibler
has probably killed more men than any
other living person. Fazzini brought his
record up to 500. —San Francisco Argo

Buying “Guius* In America,
Englishmen and Americana frequent
ly differ greatly in the names they havo
for the same object. A well known art
ist came to an American city from Lon
don, and after becoming settled went
out to buy some artists' materials. He
went to a stationery store, and after
purchasing several things said:
“By the way, do you keep gums?’’
The saleswoman smiled.
“No, indeed,’’ said she, “but I think
you can get them next door.”
The artist thought it was peculiar
that he could not get what he wanted
at a stationer’s, but thought perhaps it
was American. So he went next door
and found it was a shoe store.
“A funny place to keep gums,’’quoth
he, but in he walked and asked for
Hums.
“What size do you wear?” said the
woman who met him.
That floored him.
“What on earth has that got to do
with it?” thought he, but he discovered
that he wore sevens.
Soon the woman appeared, carrying a
pair of overshoes.
“Will these suit you?” said she to
the surprised Englishman.
“I don’t want those. I want gums,
something to slick with. It comes in a
bottle, ”
“Ob, you mean mucilage, ” said the
zirl radiantly. “You can get that al
ny stationer’s.”—St. Louis Star.

For Three Yearn He Suffered—Could
Hardly Breathe at Night—One Nostril
Closed for Tom Years.
Mr. A. M. Ramsey, qf De Leon, Texas,
was a sufferer from Catarrh in its
worst form. Truly, his description of
his sufferings seem little short of mar-,
velous. Instead of seeking his couch,
glad for the night’s coming, he went to
it with terror, realizing that another
long, weary, wakeful night and a
struggle to breathe was before him.

Messrs. Lippman Pros,, Savannah, Ga.,
Gents: I have used nearly four bottles of
P. P. P. I was afflicted from the crown of my
head to the soles of my feet. Your P. P. P.
has cured my difficult}’ of breathing, smother
ing, palpitation of the heart, and has relieved
me of all pain. One nostril was closed for
ten years, but now I can breathe through it
readily.
I have not slept on either side for two years;
in fact, I dreaded to see night come. Now I
sleep soundly in any position all night.
I am 50 years old, but expect soon to be able
to take hold of the plow handles. I feel glad
that I was lucky enough to get P. P. P., and I
heartily recommend it to my friends and the
public generally.

The Runaway Engine.
In cleaning the fire a spark hid Ignited
the waste on top of the back driving box.
The blaze attracted the attention of my
old friend Pop, who was oiling his engine
and talking with a couple of firemen as
she passed. Thinking that the hostler
was taking her out to the coal pockets, he
shouted: “Hey! Yer back drivin box is
afire!” As no one answered, they all
looked carefully at her and saw that she
was alone. A shout went up, “That en
gine's runnin away!” The fireman of a
nearby switch engine leaped to the ground
and sprinted after her. In the meantime
old 96, having passed all the switches and
got upon the main track, was gaining
speed with every revolution of her big
drivers. The fireman touched the liack of
her tank with the tips of his outstretched
fingers, and then with a derisive wriggle
of her drawhead she glided away.
Ho was directly in front oi the telegraph
office when he realized that the race was
lost and rushed into the office, told the
operator what had happened and advised
him io tell Wilson, cigi.s miles away, to
site track her. Wilson got- the message all
right, nii t started on tho run. As ho
opened tho door a meteor shot by, and,
glarc-ing up the line, a faint glimpse of
the hack end of a tender with a big yellow
90 on if disappearing round the curve in
a cloud of dust told him she had gone.—
Herbert E. Hamblen, in “Firing a Loco
motive,” in McClure’s.
