They Can't Head Him Off.
The sixth of June is now less than a
month off, and yet the combination forces
have utterly failed to disturb your Unde
Allen or in anyway < aus< a r< volt in his
ninki It was tin- laliter thing they count
ed on doing, ht-nco the several desperate
atteinpls at stai<ipe<liihg, which, after the
du»t cleared away, showed only a few po
litical mavericks making off. Colonel
Caiidler’s forces liaven’il stampeded worth
acint. First, there was the Rome iHttier;
it wow playid .for its full value, and a lit
tle more, but it only caused a temporary
flutiter of < xoltenienit. The only definite
result, so far as we have seen, was to so
disgust Judge iMeyerhardt, (the man to
whom it was written) with the methods
of those who ait tempted to use it against
Colonel Candler as to make of him an
avowed Can diorite ait once.
Then came the Augusta letter: It, too,
provi d to be a political boomerang, and
since that ttlimo the allied forces have quit
looking up Colonel Candler’s ilettters. He
lias, no doubt, written a great many
others, but the opposition doesn’t care to
make public any one of them. They have
found out that the it rouble with them is the
people believe them.
So they dropped the letter game and
went Ho work to pick (laws in Colonel
Candler's record. They would have been
better engaged had they been studying his
record as a guide fair themesclves and
other politicians of less worthiness. (After
sifting his entire record of forty years,
they could find aibsoluitely nothing against
him except that he helped to build a rail
road in North Georgia, for the develop
ment of that section and the impoverish
ment of himself, ami was made president
of the company. Therefore, he must be a
raili-oakl monopolist ami the friend and ally
of railroad monopolists. This was ail they
had. H .wasn’t much, but they had to
have somelthing. And they have been
trying faithfully to palm it off on
tlie people. Hut the trouble is the peo
ple won’t have it. They know a good deal
about (Allen D. Candler’s record them
selves. They know what his neighbors
think of him —and that is a preitty good
criterion. They 'know that the has a record
for honesty and political integrity. They
hear him talk, they look Into his rugged,
honest face and they say to themselves,
"That man’s all right; if wo can’t trust
him, there’s no one else we can trust.”
They don’t see anything in the records
or words or faces of Candidates Horner or
Atkinson that make® them more entitled
to confidence. On the contrary, they say
to Mr. Heritor, when he tells Ithcm what ho
is going to do to the railroad monopoly
tlhat is violating the laws of Georgia, "Why
didn’t you?” They recall that he was in
the senate, oven the president of that
body, ami that a state legislator is better
qualified than even the governor himself,
to call a halt on an unlawful monopoly*
by simply bringing about legislative ac
tion. And they say to Mr. Atkinson. ‘‘Who
sicked you on?” They don’t like tbe name
on his collar. It’s Ms own name, to be
sure, but it is also another’s. And the
people hove had quite enough of that sort
of thing, thank you.
And so the campaign has waged until
now. as a last resort, they have pone to
telling it on Colonel Candler that he
"cusses.” They have practically aban
doned every other issue, and are now re
viewing dour Unde Allen's vocabulary of
choice and expressive adjectives, adverbs,
He. They are practically agreed that this
Is all they can say against him. and they
are using it as a vote maker among the
sanctified. They now allude to him as the
"cussin candidate.” And if he isn’t, he
ought to be. If to be the intended victun
of such pusillanimous political methods
as have been attempted in Georgia this
year doesn't justrtfy a man In making a
record for “cussin." all we have to sav Is
what do it?”
But ewn this will avail them naught
From Glynn to Dade the cry is the same,—
“Candler and a general clean up." And.
God knows, we need both.
It is estimate,! that the war with Spain
is costing the United States $2,000,000 a
day. All of which will have to be
charged up to profit and loss.
Subject for Investigation.
Now that it has 'been domonerra/ted or
at least admitted by those in authority,
'hat the Georgia militia is of no earthly
value when needed, what will the next
Legislature do about an appropriation’
, , ls ."’°. t our PU'Vose to hit the organ
zed militia of tihe state another blow , but
we merely ask the question, should the
state keep on paying for something that
is of no value when needed? As well say
° f MaC ° n SI,OUI<J •'’Rnd thousands
of dollars annually for the maintenance
of a paid fire department and yet have to
depend upon volunteers to put out fires.
But this would not argue that Georgia
should not have a regular organized state
militia. lit only demonstrates that they
should be good for something besides an
nual encampments and drees parades. If
the militia is intended for anything i f i*
for fighting. And yet when war ?-omes
the commander in chief of the state’s
troops (God save the mark) practically dis
bands the whole lay-out and reorganize®
a volunteer force according to his own
ideas—or those of Captain Brown.
If he i 6 right in doing this, It follow®
hat the old plan has been a fraud of the
first water. It has 'been a cheat and a
swindle, else the man or men responsible
for the present shakeup are guilty of a
gross outrage. The matter is certainly
worthy of attention. The next Legislature
should refuse to appropriate a dollar for
the support of the state militia until it has
found out 'Where the trouble lies. It is the
duty of the Military Advisory Board itself
to court such an Investigation; to suggest
it and to aid In givjng the Legislature an
i insight Into the state's military affairs.
‘ The Legislature should, by all means,
. know what it is doing before It spends any
I more money in that direction. The people
I don’t whh to pay taxee to keep up a lot
I of uniformed organizations that are not
l fit for wer when they ar, needed.
i And it this is not true of them, then the
next Legislature crwe.s it to the stage's
militia to exonerate it from the serious
reflection cast u-jion it by Governor Atkin
son's action. Eitbor it is not worthy of
further support at the hando of the state,
or it deserves better at the hands of the
state 's chief executive. Which?
It is a noticeable’ fact that we hear little
advance of the -price of flour, but a mighty
kick is being registered against the pro
posed extra tax on beer.
An Uncalled-For Indignity.
Os the several thousand white people
who viewed the Spanish prisoners
as they passed through Macon yesterday,
there was probably not one among them
wno did not feel incensed at this govern
ment, or its representatives, for tbe un
necessary indignity put upon these pris
oners of war in placing negro troops as
guards over them.
If the people outside were offended at
the presence of the negroes in such a ca
pacity, the few who were allowed inside
could only have been more so, for they
were made to witness acts of familiarity
which, to say the least, are repulsive to
Southern people.
Indeed, it was this sentiment, no doubt,
that aroused for those twenty Spanish
prisoners so much sympathy and called
forth demonstrations on the part of the
people wholly foreign to what might have
'been expected. Instead of treating them
as enemies and prisoners, the people of
Macon did everything to show their sym
pathy—not sympathy for their cause, but
for them as individuals. Ami -it is not
strange that the indignity heaped uj>on
these unfortunate fellows inspired resent
ment in tiie lieart of every Southern man
ami woman, ami that this feeling of re
st nturn lit in turn aroused sympathy. So
that, instead of being regarded as prison
ers of war, this little band of luckless
Spaniards were treated rather as guests
or honor.
Although unable to express th, inselves
as they wished, the prisoners, themselves,
n< ally all of whom w ere officers ami men
of superior intellect and breeding, indica
ted their displeasure at rhe character of
their escort, as much as they indicated
their pleasure at the reception
tendered them in Macon. For the
true Spaniard makes the same
erner—ami thjs accounts for -their natural
aversion for the native Cuban. Hence to
be the prisoners of ten stalwart negroes,
who. no doubt, took advantage of all the
privileges that the situation permitted,
was not a thing to be relished by oi'Hejrs
and gentlemen of Caucassian blood.
In short, the tiling impressed everyone
as being a disgrace to our country and a
gratuitous insult to our prisoners as well
as to th l - dec, nt element of our ovv i sec
tion. Already we in the South are getting
a heavy dose of the negro soldier. As a
regular he is, according to the rules, en
titled to and aocorde-d the same rights as
his white comrade. Ami ft. is just this
that is so objectional to our white people.
Not solely through any inate* prejudice,
but because we foresee the result of it. We
-understand its demoralizing effect upon
others of the -same race. Equality for one
means to them equality for all, and the
United States government is placed in the
attitude of encouraging and even en
forcing it so far as it can—as, no doubt,
it is the purpose of the present adminis
tration to do.' Indeed, if one were to judge
by tlie movement of troops and by what has
been witnessed here in Macon, he would
'bo justified-in coming to the conclusion
that, this is a negro republic. He might at
h ast, have visions of reconstruction days.
It may be that this “Yankee” govern
ment just can’t help putting the negro
forward whenever the opportunity pre
sents itself, and it may be that “Yankee”
officers like to flaunt their negro troops in
the face of Southern white people, now
that they have the chance; but i<t is only
natural that Southern sentiment should re
bel, and. it will be most unnatural if this
resentment does not find expression at no
distant day—as came near being -the case
yesterday when a negro soldier insulted
and maltreated several of our citizens,
who, though technically guilty of a viola
tion of rules, were, not so reprehensible as
to deserve insult at. such hands.
It is our fervent wish that the further
movement of negro troops through Ma
con will take place under the .cover of
darkness, and that none of our people may
again be forced to witness such an indig
nity as that witnessed yesterday. These
things we wish -as much for the future
welfare and tranquility of our own sec
tion as for the honor of our nation. And
we don’t care who knows it.
A marked change is noticeable in the
expressions o-f -the Canadian press since
Commodore (Dewey so signally defeated the
Spaniards at Manila. Previous to that
event some papers published across the
border expressed the belief and in some
leases the hope tha-t the United States
would meet with reverses. Now the tone
is considerably changed, although a smart
ing disposition continues to be manifested.
Americans as e. rule have little idea how
deep rooted is the jealousy and hatred that
a portion of t'he Canadian people feel to
ward the United States, and with what de
gree of complacency they would receive’
news of any piece of misfortune that might
overtake its institutions. It is evident
that the Canadians do not share the pre
tended love of the mother country for the
United States.
For Europe and eastern news the -Asso
ciated Press has a reciprocal agreement
with the press associations and news agen
cies- of Europe. The recent delay in ob
taining any word from Manila until more
than five days after the occurrence of a
great battle demonstrates the difference
between the methods of news getting in
vogue among European and American
newspapers. .
The battle of the Phillipines will rank
in history as one of the most remarkable
of naval engagements, both by reason of
the destruction wrought to the shjps of
our enemy and the ability shown in the
plan of the assault, and ’because of the
daring shown by our commodore and his
marines in the attack.
Whatever may be said of th e wisdom
and justice of the plan decided upon by
the Bibb county Democratic executive
committee, it must be admitted that the
t-iing is now impracticable, so <the com
mittee should promptly undo what it has
done.
The situation in Italy is regarded as be
ing distinctly grave. It now seems to be
clearly demonstrated chat politics are
mixed up in the disturbances which have
occurred in various parts of the kingdom.
A decree has proclaimed martial law
throughout several provinces.
Now. let the Bibb executive committee
undo the mistake it has made, and all will
be forgiven.

Derivation of Settle.
An amusing instance of irresponsible
derivation is given in the '‘Dictionary of
Architecture, published under the aus
pices of the Architectural Publication so
ciety, under the head of ”Settle,” which
is stated to be ‘‘perhaps derived from ‘seat
all people.” ex temp Henry VIII, at tho
Green Dragon public house, Combe St.
Nicholas, Somersetshire," and ‘‘settee,"
which Professor Skeat calls "an arbitrary
variation of settle, ” is defined to be a
stone bench, the word being actually de
rived from the Anglo Saxon setl, a seat.—
