Cuba Libre !
It is authoritatively stated that the cost
of our war pi c.parations today already
amounts to $75,000,000, and that obliga
tions amounting to about $25,000,000 more
are outstanding and will mature during
tlie present month. This will make the
Wai to date cost $100,000,0011.
But this is only a starlit'. The finance
committee of the Senate alter considering
the subject very carefully has come to the
eou< lusion that thi < fiorts of the United
Slates to free Cuba will cost not less than
$38,000,000, provided tin* war is not pro
longed more than one year. Even this is
regarded as a somewhat conservative esti
mate. and the opinion is g< m rally held
that the cost of the war will be about
$100,000,000 for tin first year.
To meet this heavy expense a war rev
enue tm .i. uri has been framed that will
raise $100,000,000 a year, but tile Senate
(Oinmiltee propos. s to raise it to $151,000,-
000, all of which must come either directly
br indirectly out of the people’s pockets.
And tlie most of it i. , it will fall with
tremendous force in certain quarters.
From present indications, the first year of
war will cost The News not less than
SI,OOO. How? In loss of advertising from
one branch of business alone. We have
before alluded to the fact that the proposed
war revenue bill will seriously cripple the
(patent mi dit ine (business, which, as is well
known, eoiitribut«s largely to the support
of m wspapt rs. Here, for instance, is one
of a score of similar letters received by
The News Within the past few weeks:
■'lmmediately upon the passage of the
Stamp Tax 4111’1 now pending in Congress,
you will, without furttier instructions,
suspend our ad. until otherwise advised.
This bill is so unjust, partial and optpree
sive h vying a tax of 8 per cent upon the
gross volume of our business, that, while
we regret to take this step, tlie dictates
of prudence requires it. We realize the
nece: city lor a revi nite tax. but why the
proprietary medicine business should be
singled otit for the burden is incompre
hensible.” ,
But the yellow journals and the politi
cians have deerei (1 tlt.it Cuba must be free.
Although probably not twenty per cent, of
the |a nude on the island want to throw off
■Spanish rule, our politicians are going to
force freedom on them, and propose to
spend $100,000,000 to do it. (And this money
must come out. of the people’s pockets.
Business inti rests in our own country
must suffer and many enterprises he wreck
ed all tor the sake of a han.Will of maraud
ing eut-throats who won’t know what to do
witli freedom when they get it. At a con
servative estimate it will cost about $2,000
a head to free every Cuban who wants his
freedom, and more good people in our own
country will be ruined bv the war than
there are good people among the insur
gent party in Cuba.
Is it tiny wonder we all grow hoarse
yelling “Cuba Libre!”
Allen 1). ( andler is one-eyed, homely
and not a professor of sanctification, but
he has a head on him full of common
sense, a heart full of love and patriotism,
and a record signified by successful under
takings and rugge.l principles of honesty in
all'his dealings, whether in business or of
ficial life. It is because of these things
that the people honor and trust him.—

Spain s Debt and Ours.
Home idea of the magnitude of the bur
den resting upon the Spanish people can
be gained by a«comparieon with our own
situation, mentions a writer in Gunter’s
■Magazine for'May. Their natural debt per
capita is about -Ix6 pesetas, or $94 in Amer
ican money. Hulhall. a few years ago. es
timated the wealth of Spain at about $455
per capita; perhaps by this time it could
be placed at $460. The per capita debt of
the Spanish government, therefore, is more
than 20 per eent. of the per capita wealth
of the entire nation.
Tlie debt of the United States govern
ment. which in 1866 amounted to two and
three-quarter billions of dollars, stood in
January, IS’.ix. at (net) $1.011,701.335.64. in
cluding the greenbacks. This would a per
capita indebtedness of about sl4. The per
capita wealth of the United States was. in
1890, $1,036; now- it is of course greater,
but even on the 1890 basis, the per capita
indebtedness of the government today
amounts to only in, per cent, of the per
capita wealth of the nation. The per cap
ita interest charge on this debt amounted,
in 18.>6-9<. to about 53 cents; in Spain the
annual cost of the public debt Is nearly $6
per capita.

Serious Work Ahead.
The information now being received by
; th* government concerning the true con
’ dit ion of affairs in Cuba confirms what
many have suspected, that the Cuban
■ Junta has deceived the administration in
I regard to the strength as the insurgents
ou the island, declares sue Toledo Blade.
The Cuban aimy is a myth. | IS no
army at all. There are no corps nor bri
gades. There are simply isolated bands,
capable only of carrying on a guerilla war
fare. The Cuban Junta has been simply
lying. XV hale ver fighting is don< on the
I inland wiH have to be done by United
! States' troops. Then- is no insurgent army
to help Uncle Sam. It would have been
better to have kicked the Junta out of the
country months ago. it is no more to be
j believed that the Spaniards themselves.
More than this, the government has also
discovered that the Spainsh army is much
stronger on the island than reported by
the < übans. Instead of the Spanish sol-,
liters in Cuiba numbering only 56,000 men,
they number nearly 100,000, and instead
of .being incapable soldiers and unwilling
to fight the United States, they are ready
for the conflict and able to make a s in
born resistance.
In the light of these facts, the arr.V of
invasion will find It no light task to sub
due the island. There is stern business
ahead for the boys now on their way to
Cuba. It Is worse than useless to under
estimate the task cut out for them. Now
that the government fully understands the
situation, it should throw a great force of
sufficient strength into Cuba, and, in the
meantime, should rid the country of the
lying representatives of the island now in
New York and Washington.
Georgia has never sent a man to Con
gress who has made a better impression
and accomplished more during bis first
tt im than Hon. J. M. Griggs, who is now
serving ids first term as the ropresentativ*
or the Second district, declares the Albany
Herald.
The Chinese government evidently be
lieves in tlie eternal fitness of men and
things, thinks the Birmingham News. It
has sent over Mr. Shu Ting to watch the
shooting during the current war in the
interest of his government.
If the obi adage. “A dry May, a good
crop year,” bolds good, tbc farmers of
Georgia ought to make bountiful crops this
year, thinks the Albany Herald.
The Rome Tribune alludes to the Val
dosta Times as ”a penny edition of the Ma
con Telegraph.” This is rough on the
Times.
It is dollars to doughnuts that Colonel
Candler’s opponents will do a little “cus
sib” after June 6th.
It Is doubtful if Polo will ever sport in
America. Another evidence of our patriot
ism.
Hon. 0. B. Stevens.
Here are just a few’ expressions from
Georgia exchanges which show which way
the wind is blowing in the Agricultural
Commisionership race:
Hon. O. B. Stevens is the man our
(people should vote for for Commissioner
of ’Agriculture. The whole state is for
him. — Rochelle New Era.
Hon. O. B. Stevens, of Dawson, spent
Saturday in the city. Senator Sitevens is
a candidate for Commissioner of Agricul
ture and was here for the purpose of get
ting acquainted with the people. It was
his first visit to Darien and he expressed
himself as being charmed with this section
of the old commonwealth. While here he
met a great many voters and if there was
any doubt about the county bcinjg for him
his visit certainly removed it. Mclntosh
witli foe for Stevens for Commissioner of
Agriculture. She could not be for a better
man.— Darien Gazette.
Mr. Nesbitt said eigiil years ago when
he wanted to defeat Commissioner Hen
derson, "That eight years was long enough
for one man to hold the office; that it
ought to be (passed around among the
farmers;" and that is just what the farm
ers Linnik now. IMr. Nesbitt has held the
office eight years.—Cedartown Standard.
Hon. R. T. Nesbitt has been Commis
sioner of lAgi’iciilturc fight years and it is
getting time for a change of administra
tion of affairs in that department inasmuch
as the Blalock investigating • committee
found that Mr. Nesbitt was conducting the
affairs of his office in a haphazard sort of
away, having very little mercy on the
now over-burdened tax-payers in his very
extravagant (purchases of tags, which are
big items of expanse and of his raising
salaries of his various hirelings, without
authority for so doing. Hon. O. B. Stevens,
of Terrell, than whom there is not a bet
ter man in Georgia for this position, de
sires to succeed (Mr. Nesbitt, and his cam
paign slogan is a safe, sound, economical
and business-like administration if elected.
As Mr. Stevens is the only candidate
against ’Mr. Nesbitt, the voters will have
very little trouble,deciding as to who
their choice will be. The one is running
'or vindication, the other to demonstrate
that the office can and will be run at much
less expense than it now is and at the
same time be of vast interest to our farm
ers for whom it was created^—Lumpkin
Advertiser.
Colonel .Nesbitt has had the office two
terms, as long as he wants it. if we are to
give credence to his campaign utterances
wehen he set out to beat Old Uncle Dan
Henderson some years ago. His eamipaign
thunder at that time was “Old Dan had
had the job long enough, and that if he
were elected, two terms would be all that
he would want.”—(Bainbridge Democrat.
Probably Mr. Nesbitt wants to be “vin
dicated” from that famous letter of his
in which he .published to the world that
the farmers of Georgia could raise cotton
profitably at 3% cents per pound.
Is it ‘ vindication" that Mr. Nesbitt
wants from the fact that ever since he
went into office eight years ago—lS9o—he
paid an average of SI.S3 per thousand for
four million tags annually, when through
the aid of th it “investigating committee”
he contracted for tags for 189 S at only’ 45
cents per thousand. In 1896, he paid $1.60
per thousand for tags; now he pays 45
cents which means a saving to the state
of $4,600 this year on this one item alone.
If this "investigating committee” had got
ten after Mr. Nesbitt eight years ago. pos
sibly they might have saved the state
$4,600 annually, or that rate in eight years
the • ind c onie sum of $36,500.
Nobady has made any "charges” against
Mr. Nesbitt; these- facts are just plain
figures. Mt. Nesbitt has never yet ex-,
plained them away.—<• dartown Standard
Hon. O. B. Stevens is the only’ practical
farmer who has offered for the office of
Commissioner of Agriculture since the
office was created.—Knoxville Correspond
ent in Atlanta Journal.
Senator O. B. Stevens, of Dawson, is
making a vigorous race for Commissioner
of Agriculture. He is a man of energy and
ability and will give satisfaction if elected.
He has gained many friends here and will
receive a good vote in the county.—Bul
loch Times.
It Is safe to say old Elbert will go solid
for Phil for secretary of state and O. B.
Stevens for Commissioner of Agriculture.
—Elberton Star.
Hon. O. B. Stevens seems to be the fa
vorite of the people for Commissioner of
Agriculture. There is but little doubt but
that he will be elected.—Rochelle New- i
Era.

AN UNDESERVED TITLE.
How Candler Came to Be Called the
“Gussin* Candidate.’’
The presence of the next governor of
Georgia in Macon yesterday brought about
a conversation between a certain promi
nent politician and myself which is well
worth repeating, in view of the charge so
often repeated against Colonel Candler—
that he is a “eussin candidate.”
"Do you know," said the gentleman,
who, by the way is a North Georgian and
knows more about Colonel Candler, than
do most men, “that you can’t find a matv
who can say that he has ever heard 'Allen
Candler curse? Ask men who have been
associated with him in public and private
life, and they will all tell you he is in no
sense a profane man; in fact, he is as
moral as he is honest —and old fashioned,
plain, honest man, and yet a man of inate
refinement, liberal education and superior
qualities of statesmanship.”
’ Why then do they call him ’eussin'
candidate?” I asked.
"’Well, you know, you can call a man
almost anything when you are hard up for
a.campaign cry, and these things, no
doubt, carry weight with some people,
those who never stop to think whether
they are true. Now, from all that has been
said, and written many ’people would nat
urally take it for granted that Allen Cand
ler is a swearer, a ’profane man; especially
so since he has no't thought enough of the
charge to notice it. 'But such an impres
sion of the man ia far from the 'correct one,
as an hour’s acquaintance would fully de
monstrate.”
"Well, if he is not a swearer, how did
he ever acquire such a title?” I asked, for
I was one of those who had taken it for
granted that the next governor sometimes
uses strong language, although I saw in
this no good reason why I should vote
against him—'for most men sometimes say
tilings they shouldn’t, and I do not believe
in condemning a man of sterling princi
ples and superlative qualties merely on ac
count of an ugly habit.
"Well, Candler acquired the title of
“eussin candidate” a long time ago and
in a peculiar way. He never really de
served it, but when I tell you the story you
can readily understand how it all
came about,” said tihe North Georgian.
“It was twenty years ago, as well as 1 re
member, and Candler was running for of
fice —the legislature, .1 think—against a
preacher. Both were good men, and neith
er had much that he could say against the
other. Os course they had to stump the
county, and it was necessary for them to
give some reason why the other shouldn't
be elected. I don’t remember just what
argument Candler used against the preach
er, but I know the latter dubbed Candle?
the “eussin candidate.” (And ail because
it had come to the preacher’s ears that
Candler had one day, when something went
wrong at his little saw mill, used a few
expressions that a preacher might consid
er profane, but which the average mortal
would searcely take notice of. So the
preacher told it that Candler was a curser.
and it was in that way he gained a repu
tation which was not at all justified.
"I remember how Candler then apologiz
ed for hit shortcoming by saying if there
was a voter in the county who could run a
broken down saw mill with free negroes
and a bobtailed bull without eussin’ a lit
tle, he wanted to see such a curiosity. He
used to say further that if all the people
in the county who might be guilty of a
lapsus linguae, under similar circumstances,
would vote for him, he would give his op
ponent all the other votes and beat him ten
to one—which is about what he succeeded
in doing.
T think the thing had about passed out
of everybody’s mit\d, and I am quite sure
that those* who know Colonel Candler at
all well would never think of him as a
profane man. But when a man is run
njg for office he may expect to have his
opponent look up his record from the
beginning, and it was in this way that the
allied candidates, as The News has appro
priately called them, managed to find out
that Colonel Candler had borne such a
title. They didn’t stop to consider what
justification there might be for such a
charge all that they wanted was a provo
cation to use it, no matter how slight the
provocation might be.
"So they took up the preacher’s cry of
twenty ears ago, and in lieu of something
better, they have been -using it for all it
is worth—and a great deal more. It may
have influenced a few fanatical people
against Candler, but even these would only’
have to know the man to see how unde
served is the title. The fact is Allen
Candler is a man of religious instincts and
training, ;.s most of our old time school
teachers were. They were sometimes plain
spoken, but, as a rule, they were men of
superlative mental and moral traits. XVlhen
I say Colonel Candler is a religious man
I do not mean that he is a shouter or he
wears a long face and a sanctimonius air.
Tis religion is of the best Kind—it is of
the heart. No man has a greater rever
ence for the Deity than he, and no man
ever lived a more upright life. So you
see how easy it is for a man to be un
justly- maligned, especially when he is a
candidate for office. I’ve known Allen
Candler for a long time, and I don’t be
lieve I ever heard him use a profane ex
pression in my life.”
“That’s so,” said an ex-member of the
legislature who had joined in the con
versation. "In al! my intercourse with
Lnele Allen I have never heard him use
any but the most dignified and chaste lan
gauge. In fact. I couldn’t but be amused
at the desperate efforts of the opposition
to find something against Colonel Candler.
Knowing the man and his'habits as I did.
I couldn t conceive of how he came to ac
quire the title of "eussin candidate’ in this
campaign. I understand iuall now. how
ever. since you have explained that it
came about twenty years ago and was
founded, on such a flimsy circumstance.”
bince having the above conversation I
have taken occasion to test the truthful
ness of the above statements by asking a
number of people, who have been intimate
ly associated with Colonel Candler, if they
had ever heard him ■curse. And I am grat
ified to say that I have yet been unable to
find a man who can say that he has ever
heard as much.
I mention none of these things in de
fense of Colonel Candler, nor to refute
the only charge that they have yet been
MACON NE\v-5 MONDAY EVENING, MAY 23 189 b
! able to bring against him—for I consider
• Fra* well able to take care-of himself —but
merely to show how a man may gain a
i reputation that is in no sense warranted
; by the facts, especially if he happen to be
lin politics. So that the Candler who is
pictured by his desperate and hopeless op
ponents as a profane old man, who .can’t
express himself intelligently without re-
■ sorting to his “eussin” vocabulary, is a
: very different man from the plain, honest,
rugged gentleman, dignified, untarnished
statesman whom the Democrats of Georgia
rare going to nominate for governor* next
week. If you have accepted the picture his
, opponents have drawn of him, you only
need to know the subject itself to see how
distorted it is. I do not for a moment
imagine that such a charge could possibly
affect Colonel Candler’s chances for the
' nomination, but in simple justice to him
it should be known how utterly absurd is
the title which his political enemies have
conferred upon him. Fortunately, the peo
ple have paid no attention to it, though
all will be interested in know’ing how he
acquired it.

AMONG HIS FRIENDS.
Pleasant Visit to Waynesboro of Rev. George
C. Smith, of Macon.
Waynesboro. May 23.—After an absence
’ of many ears Rev. George C. Smith, of
’Macon, is here renewing his friendships ot
long ago. In the first days of his ministry
before Waynest>oro was a station, the
Methodist church of this place was in his
circuit—at which time he won many warm
friends. They are delighted to see him
■again. Last Sunday he preached both in
the morning and in the evening to large
and appreciative congregations, and on
Monday evening at the Epworth League he
delivered a most interesting lecture on the
origin of the Methodist church. His work
seems specially adapted to children. ,0
whom he is devotedly attached. The ser
vices held for them this week have been
largely attended. Mr. Smith is not only x
true soldier of the cross, but as a soldier
of the Confederacy he bears a record that
anyone who fought and bled for that glo
rious couse might be proud of. The ob
ject of his visit to Waynesboro is to col
lect data for a history of Georgia, which
he is writing.
