Anything that tends to interfere with tlr liieduni of tiie press has always been considered foreign to thw American spirit, and great must be the provocation when tiie government finds it necessary to insti tute .1 sort in' press cemtot’Hlr.p. While the newspaper • tuiniseives might «: rt be ex pee'ed to l.ivt.r such - ntt t !\-i en .-e oa the part ot the government, w«. can but believe that all i Iglit-mindi d newspapers will readily avi-ipi it .is being both timely and wise. • In.l .4. it must In- apparent to everyone that the irmteiiey of certain American newspapers to pry into and make public everything, nt wh.Hi.vcf nature, whether it jeopardize . public interest or outrages .the individual, mu l end oim w here. Already tin :<• Join-mils, which even resort to theft, forgery and perjury in order to "beat” their rivals, have proven a greater menace to the government during this war than all the Spanish spies that have been sent into Hie country. Tiny have published, witlnr.it hesitation, information ot the most vial and delicate nature, unmindful of its value to the enemy, and through them this information has reached tiie Spanish gov ernment without delay. It was, we are satisfied, such as this that made unsuccess ful the Gussie expedition and several other important efforts on the part of our naval forces. If anything, the government has waited too long to ist ilish a press censorship. But not alone in the matter of war news should reason and common sense stay the consciousless and reckless work of these Journalistic prostitutes. If possible, a standard of decency should be established that would cause Ihe New York Journal and World and others of their stripe to be refused transmission through the mails un til they have‘refill med. From day to day they invade the homes of, respectable peo ple ami expose their innermost secrets to the gaz.e of morbid readers. With them nothing is saeii d. I'he bordoir of the most cultured woman is to them the same as tiie dressing room of the most notorious actress, and both arc pictured with an at tention to detail that is insulting in one in stance and disgusting in Hie otiier. As for instance last Sunday’s issue of one of these journals in its story of a notable New York marriage a lion! to take place, gave what purported to lie an accurate descrip tion of the ladies' trousseau, with tne price marked on each article -from the $25 stockings, minutely described, except as to dimensions alone, to the most delicate lingerie with the quality ami price of the lace thereon. If the government is powerless to protect the citizens, as it protects Itself, from such shameless abuse of a social privilege—the freedom of the press -then it should, at least, allow the citizens some redress where his hmm' is invaded and his loved ones outraged by lots of journalistic ghouls, who are a disgrace to the profes sion and a constant menace to society. The freedom of the press is a sacred prin ciple of our form of government and as such it should 'be preserved; but, instead of a benefit it will prove a curse,- if it is construed to mean unlimited license for a class of newspapeis which eater to morbid appetites and therefore deal in all that is most disgusting to decent people; newspa pers which thrive on the demoralization which they themselves work and which fatten on the tilth that they afterwards vomit forth for their readers. The free dom of the press is no more sacred thaii (freedom of the individual—yet quarantine regulations are no more necessary than a press censorship under the circumstances. The one for the protection of our national health, the other for the protection of the national interests and national character. Iho St. I'aul Dispatch remarks: “It is a wise man who can tell the war news from the soap ad. at the first glance.” Lost Their Advantage There is much speculation as to the movements of the fleets, and ‘'specially is the whte.ibouts of the Spanish fleet shrouded in mystery. !mt thtr. is m im pression that the giv.-. i , ffll j s ln posses sion of .nformaaca whicn, wry wisely, it Is not giving out. A» any rate, the naval officers contend that Spainhas thrown away, the strategical advantage lu l l when her ships left Marti nique on Wednesday last, before this gov ernment Knew of their whereabouts. Ad miral Sampson could not have reached 1 üba before the enemy got there, and Com modore Schey’s Plying Squadron -would have been equally tardy. Now, however. Sampson wilt tie able to h ?ad off the en emy, and Schley will have plenty of time to join the blockading force under Commo dore Watson before the Cape Verde fleet <3D 3j>pc3r on the Says the \merieus Times-Recordbr • ybnends of Hon. O. B. Stevens, who are in a position to know, say that he is mak ing a winning light for the office of Com nnss.oner of Agriculture, and will lead thi van on Juno 6th. “Smothering” Hostile Fire. The ntw.< development of modern naval warfare is "smothering” the fire of the .nemy s cuns Deweys vessels did it at Manila, and to this is to be attributed the aos.ne. of casualties in the American fleet, rhe meaning of the term is thus CX plaimh by i Washington correspondent; It is part of the tactics which come with the lattst form of armaments. The war ship of today carries big guns above and in the tops there are machine guns. When Dewey push, d his fleet right up to t& Spanish ships under the fortifications of Cavite he turned loose his big guns, and at the same time the batteries of rapid fire guns and the machine guns were worked incessantly. The l.ig guns sunk the vessels, while the smaller guns rained bullets so fast that tlie Spaniards could not man their guns They “smothered” the guns of the Span iards so that the latter were either silenced or were operated at random and to no pur pose. The rain of small leaden missiles made possible the terrible execution of Dewey’s fleet without corresponding dam age from the Spaniards. Constitutionality of the Income Tax. One of the most notable speeches heard duiing the present session of Congress was that of Hon. W. H. Fleming, of tiie Tenth diwtnct, which apears in the Congr<-i-onat Record of May Oth, and wh;. a a com plete treatise on the subject. In th it •: ,;a nection it may b< raid that no member of tne Georgia delegation has made a more brilliant or satisfactory record in Con gress than ha- Mr. F.'i ruing. it >s g.-m i il ly predicted that this brainv Georgian u:ii leave his impn -> upon the history of our country, through his ability to clearly ta.i any profioKilion that be nay have :ti hand i He has delivered three exceptionally abb : speeches during this f'ottgre on< -,u the ' Tariff, one on Civil Service, and last, but ■ not least, his marvelous sp. tea favoring an : income tax. A Washington paper, in giving a pen picture of 'Mr. Fleming recently, said: Among the most important thing, he has done that has attracted the attention of the country, and especi-aly of the press, is the independent manner in whien he dares to champion any principle of politi cal economy that he believes to be con sistent with the interests of good govern ment. The force of his speech is felt in every quarter; he is a scholar way beyond the average, and a thinker who will rank well with our foremost minds. ’1 he peculiar ly strong position that i.Wr. Fleming occu pies, is owing to the fact that every legis lative product of liis mind carries such force of conviction, based entirely upon the fact's —wherewith he clothes his argu ment —that members of tne supreme court, United States senators ami the most com petent critics of the press, characterize his utterances as outlined in Che works above mentioned, to be in themselves a treatise upon the subjects that tie has so far handled.” The same paper in alluding to nis speech on the income tax, says it is a magnificent effort in its fullness of detail and unan swerable conclusions, a cairn perusal of this speech might be the means of making some jurists change their views on this much disputed subject. Mr. Fleming reviews the full history of our country ami the decisions of our courts for tiie last hundred and twenty years, and makes out what to us appears to be a ease that is so strong in the soundness of it's logic that no lawyer or jurist who has any conception of the principles of law catn conscientiously disagree. Mr. (Fleming’s speech is conceded to b. the 'best in 'the Record on the subject, and it is well to bring it to tiie attention of shyster lawyers and politicians who de plore any criticisms of the supreme court's decisions, to the fact that a reading of this speech may stimulate thi ir intellects to a comprehension of the equity of a just taxation. It -clearly justifies the position of the Democratic party in its insistanci upon the substitution of an income tax clause instead of a bond -provision as th<- most patriotic means of raising revenue to carry on the war. Mr. Fleming has had this speech printed in pamphlet form. A Forcible Argument. An eight-inch shell, dropped behind a Spanish fortification, is an argument of such force that the iDons yield. They do not stop to dispute its irresistible- logic. Tne circulation of The News is an argu ment similarly powerful with the wide awake business man, who understands fully the value of circulation. He does not waste time. He knows that The News’ circulation possesses the two vital quali ties lor a good advertising medium — quantity and -quality. Tiie News circulates, to actual readers, in Macon and vicinity, many more copies per day than any other Macon daily. In her department of I'hc News Miss Mary Lamar Patterson publishes a pointed and appropiiate reply to -Miss; Isma Dooly, who in last Sunday’s Constitution saw lit to make an unjust and undignified attack on the ladies of Macon. Cviiss Patterson's reply is worthy i.l the writer and of the wonn n for whom she speaks, it cannot be consider! d a defense of their action, ovi i which Miss Dooly tecls so put out, for the reason that it needs no defense, bin it probably can be considered a very happy reply to a very unhappy effort at criticism. The corresponded t of the Chicago Re cord on board tiie dispa toil boat Hugh Mc it'iiiocii cabled his paper a seven column story of the t.attic of Manila. The .tolls were $1,750.20. Tins not tnly .shows what it costs to gel Hie news, but aijio what a "space writer” -can do when he tries. However, Hie Record’s correspondent is not in it with the genius who grinds out Associated Press news for the Monday morning papers, who, as a tired operator once remarked, can write a ten column story on the word "it.” Sam Jones in the course of a recent talk in Shawnee, Ok., commented upon the local i<linin isll a Lion as follows: "Should Shaw nee diop into tiie midst of hili the devil would not call an election for the purpose id changing the administration of present ollieials.” Sam said something like this about Macon, and iie has. no doubt, said tiie same thing about every town he lias visited. In fact, this sori of tiling is Sam’s stock in trade. The Talbotton iNew lEra makes this cor rection: "'We are told Mr. Henderson served thirteen years as commissioner of agriculture and that Mr. Nesbitt has served only eight. We stated in a previ ous issue that Mr. Henderson served only eight years, .but correct that as above. iMr. Stcyens will succeed Mr. Nesbitt this tall and serve eight years.” We have now not only a Cuban problem but a Philippine pruiile-m and a Porto Rican problem. Although neither the Philippines nor Porto Rjeo are as yet fully in our control the prospect is they soon wilT be and then the question arises, in deed. hits already arisen, what shall we do with them? The afternoon papers seem to toe leading the way these days and the- paper which reaches the people first is the one in great est demand. The public want the news on the day it happens and if anything oc curs the afternoon paper gets it every time.—Americus Herald. Os the 30,000 men who have enteitl the service as volunteers from tiie Southern states, it is estimated that 90 per cent are ox-Confederates or the sons of ex-Con s ederates.

Many soldiers now feel the- effects of the hard service they endured during the war. Mr. George S. Anderson, of Rossville, York county. Penn., who saw the ha.dest kind ot service at the front, is now frequently troubled with rheumatism- "I had a severe attack lately," he says, “and procured a bottle of ChamG'rl.'Mu’s Pain Balm. It did so much good tiiat 1 would like to know what you would charge me for one dozen bottles.’’ Mr. Anderson wanted it both for his own use and to supidy i: to his friends and neighbors, as every family should have a bottle of it iu their home, not only for rheumatism, but lame back, sprains, swell ings. cuts, bruises and burns, for which it is unequailed.

A distinguished musician was waited upon one day in his study by a rather seedy looking stranger, who said to him with what seemed to be genuine emotion: "May a humble brother musician claim your sympathy for one moment? 1 don’t ask you to give me anything, but will you lend me a dollar or two? You can com mand sloa lesson or us much more us you choose to ask, while 1 think myself fortu nate if 1 esin get a pupil now and then at a half dollar a sitting.” "Aiy irientl,” said the other, touched by this appeal, perhaps 1 can lielji you lietter than by b'miing you money.
