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. ftie f.is- Round trip tickets to Bal timore on May 9, 10 and 11.
