The News publishes < Is*-where an At lanta ;iving what purports to be an interview .with _ Governor Atkin son, lint whii h l-« in n .ility a cart fully prep.in'l defense ol the i ouise pursued by him in calling out th< Georgia military for the volunteer army. Governor Atkinson's an.-wer Io the crit ic, ti-in that iiavi been diieeted against him fioni < vt ry side is, we are willing to admit, nm t plan Ihh inditd Bill Atkin son was alwiiy. pl.iuj-ibh . Hut it is Iby no means convincing. Governor Atkinson con utncs two col umns of :'.|>ace in iii effort to explain why he di organized the Georgia militia '.and then reorganized it according to plans of ills own. And yet it requires less than a dozen lines to knock the props from under his entire defense. In a word, if the gov ernor of Georgia was right in ipursuing such a course. then the governors of all ithc otlnr states were wrong in rio-gan izing Hie military organizations of their respective stales as they already exited. It is not true, as Governor Atkinson claims, that there .was any radical differ ence in the conditions existing in Georgia and elsewhere. The only radical differ ence was that Georgia had a governor who was unable to sink politics even in -a time of public peril, while Uie other states had governors who, if not entirely perfect, were ut hast far above such methods. In (Kansas alone has anything even closely approximating Georgia's case occurred and it is generally accepted that the Kan sas governor is more fool than knave. ‘No. Governor Atkinson simply made a huge mistake when he attempted to dis organize the Georgia militia for the pat ronage involved and the opportunity that It would give him to further the fortunes of a few friends; and political heelers— Captain (now Colonel) Oscar Brown, for instance. It is not enough to say that .the charac ter of his appointees is an answer to all criticism of the course adopted by the ex ecutive. Although the appointees are, for the most part, satisfactory, they are not more so than the men whose positions they have usurped would have been. Governor Atkinson has not appointed better men than were already at the head of the state militia. Therefore to excuse' his action on the ground that he has not .actually dis graced the state .by making as Aid ap pointments as he could have made without going out of his own politi '.ii family is in no sense a good ami valid reason for the plan pursued. The News was the first to call Govcrfltlr lAtkinson’s action in question, and it sees no reason to modify anything that it has said in condemnation thereof. It is still convinced that it was a .political move on his part although it proved to lie a .boom erang of the worst sort. As for his denial of the charge well, he might, at least, (be expected to deny it. But Governor Atkin son has said a great many things (besides his prayers since he entered the political arena. However. The News is fair enough to give his explanation in full. It may satisfy some people principally those few who are still with him whether right or wrong. The general public, however, will find in it nothing to show such a shake-up was more necessary in Georgia than elsewhere. Catholics as Patriots. While no such declaration was really needed to prove their loyalty and patriot ism, yet in view of the contemptible in uendoes and the worse than cowardly at tacks on the patriotism of Catholic Amer icans made by a certain dark-lantern order, the address issued by the Catholic archbishops of the United States to the clergy and laity of the church is a forcible and dignified rebuke of those narrow-souls who dared call the patriotism of these Americans in question. it is, of course, not intended as an an swer to anything that has been said, tout merely comes as an official expression, which under the Catholic form of church government is entirely in order and, in effect. conclusive. While formally declar ing the attitude of American Catholics in this matter, it also brinjss out another fact worthy ot note —the Catholic church holds lose of country next to love of God. This has often sheen demonstrated before. • but it is forcibly demonstrated in the struggle now gooing on between this coun try and Spain. Although Spain is a Cath olic country, there are almost as many Catholics in the United States as in Spain. They worship the same God. believe in the' same doctrines, accept the same church authority and yet they are as far apart a * the poles where the issue that now di vides their two countries is involved. In Spain they are rushing into the army to shed their last drop of blood on their coun try s altar. In America they are enlisting with no less willingness. Hundreds and thousands of them have already joined the army, ami if the present war proves to toe of any consequence we may look for other atholic patriots to shed lustre upon t'heir country, as hundreds of others have done in every important epoch of the republic. It is, however, nothing strange that they should do so. It is no more than they should <lo. else they are not entitled to be called Americans, it is no more than hundreds of other riligious -faiths have done and will do again. It is not to praise them for their patriotism that we mention the fact, but merely to show that, contrary to the absurd charges of a certain secret or der. the Catholic church teaches patriot ism above all things— except, of course, religion; and no church that is worthy of the name makes any temporal affair para mount to the soul’s salvation of love of God. To the Spanish Catholic the church says “stand by our flag, fight the American to the last ditch, if you must do it, for your country’s sake.” To the American it says “Do not hesitate; if your country needs you, go to the front—take up arms against the foe, whether he <be co-religionist or in fidel.” And towards both the church as sumes an attitude of strict neutrality and for both its prayers are daily uttered. Could anything be broader? Does it not. indeed, prompt our admiration? Is it not ! a convincing answer to those who have dared to call the American Catholic s pa triotism in question? It would be strange indeed, if a universal church did not a times, find complications such as this be tween its own children, but when Its car dinal motto ' ’Xlod and country” it can make no mistake. Unde: >u h a -j item it w is possible to give to the Con'*., r .'.e army two sm-h heroes as Beauragard and ;-. minis, and to the Union side Sh. ridan and Sherman, it allowed the divine soul of a Father iiyi>; to pour forth in defense of the form-1 while others of the same cloth said m/--<s i for the sure SS of jhe Union trms v. 1 in both armies labored those saintiv -in ters. who without prejudice or favor to i either side, nursed the sick, eared for the- ! dying and often sacrificed the it own liv s ; in the effort to alleviate the sufferings of others. And so it will fee again. Wherever God i and country call them there you will find them, whether priest, nun or laity. In I this respect they in no way differ from ‘ their fellow citizens of other denomina- I tons. As they are no more entitled to i praise for their patriotism than are others, ! so also do they no more deserve to have ! »he:r patriotism called in question, And i he who does go either Injures bistory, or I controlled by dense ignorance or nreju- i dice, for such as these the address recently issued by the archbishops may prove not on a reve ’ a Gon >n this connection, but also a lesson in patriotism. These word in whatever country uttered, to whatever flag they refer, contain the full essence of patriotism—that patriotism which holds country next to God; We are not now engaged in a war of section against swttion. or tat< again.-t state, but we are uniud as one man against a foreign tnemy and a common foe. If, as wo are taught .by our holy church, love of country is next to love of God, a duty imposed on us bj .ill la.ws human and divine, then it • our duty to labor ami to pray foi the temporal and spiritual well-being of the brave who an battling for out bi loved country. Lit us fiithtully beg tin God of (battles to crown th.lr arms on land and sea with victors and triumph, and to stay unnecessary effusion of (blood and syndily to restore peace to our (beloved land and people.” There’s a Bit of Risk, You Know, So far the war with Spam has been a v< ry one .-id, ,i affair, ‘but today dispatches bi mg the unwelcome news of disasters to own forces, Which, though of no great consequence, are nevertheless, calculated to cause sorrow throughout the country. Such has 'been our success so far that ■almost involuntarily many of our people have come to regard casua'tiiics tb our own navy and troops as something not to be looked for. Already they have had this feeling dispelled, and they are likely to iiave still further reason to view the situation seriously as the war proceeds. ‘it should be borne in mind that losses on the American side are inevitable. It is more than strange that they have not al ready been greater. Never before have the casualties in battle ‘been so unequal, so that we have much to be thankful for and nothing to complain of. We may expect to suffer our full share of losses before the war is closed. Per haps even before Cuba is invaded or Porto Rico taken. Already we have had a few, as today s dispatches tell, but they should not disturb us. For, as an English naval officer once remarked, "We cannot expect to do these things without a bit of risk, you know." Strange to say, the same year the Brit ish. under Lord Albertuarle captured Ha vana, another force of the same country captured .Manila. Thus, history is likely to reipeat itself. Speaking of it the Bos ton transcript says: ".Manila has been once captured from Spain. The English were its captois, although they held it only for a few months. It was in 1762, a few weeks after the English capture of Hava na. •Spain had been rash enough to side with France in the war usually known in this country as the French and Indian war. (She was speedily punished for it.” The invasion of Cuba has begun and many believe that within thirty days after the first expedition is landed the stars and stripes will float over Cwba. It is under stood that the attack on Havana will be made from the? rear while the navy holds the entrance to the harixir. It is believed that two or three engagements between the land forces will cause General Blanco iO realize the hopelessness of the situation and surrender his army. Says the Pire County Journal: “O. B. Stevens is a man whom the state of Geor gia will take pleasure in honoring. The people are clamoring for a change ■ the agricultural department, and they recog nize in Mr. Sti vens, the farmer and states man, the man for the place. Mr. Stevens’ friends have brought him out because they ar? not satisfied with Nesbitt’s administra tion, and they are at work for him in all parts of the state. He is a winner.” All of the 20,000 regulars will he landed in Cuba by Saturday morning. The thirty or forty thousand volunteers will follow as soon as they can ibe put upon the trans iports. General (Miles -will take command of the troops. -All the s-tate regiments which have been ordered to Southern ports can make up their minds that in less than a week they will be on Cuba soil. If the advice of ’the Democrats in Con gress were followed the burden of the ex pense of maintaining an army and navy in this war would be so distributed that it would no’t be a serious hardship upon any class. The latest from the front came from a raw recruit from Polk county. Ga. If the good people of Gcorgki, he says, will pre sent Sampson with Bill Atkinson’s jaw bone he can end this war in fifteen days.” Madrid papers predict that "Spain will win in the long run." They forget that we have a bicycle corps attached to our army with a guaranteed speed of one hunderd miles per day in ease of emergency. Richard Le Galliene recently praised Walt Whitman very highly. This might be called a tribute from a literary dude to a literary tough, thinks the Memphis 'Commercial-Appeal. Without intending, to disparage his ■bravery m the least or detract from the glory of his victory at .Manila, -rt is never theless evident that Dewey haff his rabbit foot with him. The Washington Post says: "That sober second thought in France is doubtless based on the fact that Paris is going to hold an exposition.” The average man is learning more about geography these days than he ever knew before.
