Berner’s Silver Record.
In his speech at LaGrange 4lon. R. L.
Bt rncr took occasion to explain his atti
tude on the currency question in 1892 and
since that time, and, to do him justice, it
must be admitted that he made a most
desperate effort to pull the wool over the
people’s eyes.
In the face of his well known record, of
his, until now, generally accepted attitude
on the money question, lie told the people
of LaGrange that lie ran for congress in
1892 on a platform for the free and un
limited coinage of silver and was beaten
two votes by lion. Tom Cabaniss, He de
clared that in 1894, as chairman of the
committee on resolutions of the state con
vention, he wrote the platform then adopt
ed; that two years later he ran for the
state senate and was elected and made its
president on a silver platform, and he
urged with great emphasis, “that is where
1 am today.”
He declared that, he was a silver man
from top to bottom, red hot and rampant,
and so impressive and earnest were his
utterances on this point, says the La-
Grange correspondent of the 'Atlanta Con
stitution, that his audience was led to be
lieve tiiat, of all the original silver men
in Georgia, none took precedence of IMr.
Hemer.
Today’s Constitution, however, proceeds
to take the wind out of Mr. Berner’s sails,
by making his LaGrange speech the sub
ject of an editorial reviewing his record
as a silver man. And It will be confessed,
we think, that the Constitution clearly
convicts 'Mr. Berner of a flagrant attempt
to deceive the people. The Constitution’s
editorial is as follows:
We call attention to a most interesting
report concerning the LaGrange address
of 'Hon. 'Robert L. Berner, in whic.h he
not only comes out flatfooted for silver, but
declares, in substance, that of all the
original silver men in Georgia, he is the
most original. He says that he ran for
congress in 1892 on a platform favoring
the free and unlimited coinage of silver,
and that, as chairman of the committee
on resolutions of the state convention of
1891. he wrote the platform then adopted,
and, in effect, that both before and since
that time he has always been red hot and
raimpant in his advocacy of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
“This was very interesting, no doubt,
to an audience in one of the strongest sil
ver counties of the state; for the Demo
crats ot no county in Georgia were more
active or more earnest in advocacy of a
straighout silver declaration by the Demo
cratic conventions, both state and nation
al, than were those of Troup county. And
.vet. it is a pity that Mr. Berner did not
tell the whole story; for had he done so,
his hudience would not have been left
under a misapprehension as to his position
in the state convention of 1894. .As stated
by Mr. Berner, he was chairman of the
committee on resolutions of that conven
tion. The convention assembled at a time
when the fight, over the silver question had
Just begun in earnest, and the various
state conventions of that year were the
picket line skirmishes of the state battles
of two years later which led up to the
gieat victory ot the national convention
at Chicago. In the state convention of
1894 Mr. Berner led the fight in the com
mittee against any declaration whatsoever
on the currency question, taking the posi
tion that a state convention had nothing
to do with a national question. When it
was found, however, that the committee
was determined to make some expression
on this question, he left the chair and led
the tight against a clear and unequivocal
expression on the sfilver question, advo
cating a straddle, which was adopted by
a close vote and over the earnest protest
of those who favored an outright declara
tion, such as was adopted by the next
state convention and later by the national
convention at Chicago. In the great cam
paign of lS9t> 'Mr. Berner’s voice was neve!
heard, directly or indirectly, remotely or
contingently, in favor of the platform af
terwards adopted by the state and nation
al conventions. If he was a silver nian
then, he adopted a remarkable method ot
manifesting his faith. For a few years
'Preceding that campaign, he held a lucra
tive position under the Cleveland admin
isiration and was invariably counted with
those who were pleased to style them
selves as “sound money” advocates. If
during that campaign Mr. Berner was a
silver man, those "sound money” advo
cates who were then counting him and
conferring with him as one of their num
nr were vastly mistaken: and as for those
who were advocating an unequivocal dec
aration in favor of the free coinage of
both metals, it can be said that, if they re
vived any assistance from (Mr. Berner,
hey have never to this day found from
ttiu it came or in what direction its
energy was expended.

President s Army Appointments.
President McKinley has shown wonder
ful inconsistency- and his usual lack of
'backbone in bis army appointments. For
instance, he refused to give William- Jen
nings Bryan a commission as colonel be
cause he was without the meessary mili
tary experience. And yet, in the lace of
tnu he has apoined every shollow-pated
dude who could lay claim io a distingutsn
ed paternal ancestor. He nas made these
young fellows colonels, captains and aids
and has done so in the face of the fact
that none of them could qualify as a ser
geant in any volunteer company in tne
country if placed on his own merits alone.
The president’s course has disgraced our
army and caused no end of righteous crit- .
icism. K to<) , a rank lnjlwUce Lo place
such incompetents in < at military berths,
for the reason that it involves danger to
the privates. The private has to stand
the brunt of incompetent officers. That's
why only competent men should be .put on.
1 be success ot our army and navy in this
war must depend very greatly on the com
petent y of tne men who are placed in
command and in places ot responsibility in
connection with the carrying out of the or
ders of superior officers. Dangers to the
lives of men in the ranks as well as dan
ger to our success in the war is increased
wncn political or other pressure is respond
silbe tor unfit appointments.
But some of the army apointments re
cently made indicate a yielding to pressure
rom political ami o liber sources which it
was hoped would not be displayed. The
Washington correspondent of the New
Yoik Herald quotes a prominent Repre
sentative as asying: “When one of the
men given a stall appointment by Presi
dent McKinley has to sober up before he
can go to the Whitehouse to thank the
president for it, it i a about time to give up
any further discussion of the subject.”
What possible reason, other than a po
litical one, could there 'be for the appoint
ment of such fellows as these and the re
jection of such a man as Bryan. Almost
any man would be willing to believe that
a man of Bryan’s ability would make a
better commander without a moment's ex
perience than some of these dudes could
make after years of training.
The only charge that has 'been made
against (Berner is that he is handsome, says
the Griffin News and Sun. Then he stands
acquitted. But we deny that it was a
charge; it was a boast.
That Insurgent Army Again.
Leslie’s Weekly has a contribution from
Thomas IR. Dawley, Jr., “a well known
writer,” in which he makes a very re
markable and interesting statement. He
says that in the latter part of 1896, about
the time that 'General .Maceo was killed
near Punta 'Brava, General Gomez crosesd
the central trocha from the east with the
avowed purpose of again carriyng the war
to the very gates of (Havana; that he was
accompanied by the provisional govern
ment, his escort and sixty armed men,
known as the Victoria regiment. Estab
lishing his headquarters in about the
center of the depopulated region lying be
tween iSancti iSpiritus and the trocha, he
sent out couriers with orders to the vari
ous insurgent chiefs in the provinces of
Matanzas and Santa Clara to concentrate
their forces under his command. Nearly
two months passed, during which time he
shifted his camp from place to place, when
he found himself at the head of his army.
According to Insurgent figures this army
consisted of 2,000 men, but the writer,
from “personal Observation,” claims that
there were less than 1,000. With this force
Gomez attempted to lay seige to lArroyo
Blanco, an insignificant little village, but
a Spanish column appearing upon the
scene he and his army were driven into
the uninhabited district, where a council
of war was held, with the result that the
army was again divided into bands and
ordered to carry on the war with as little
fighting as possible.
Mr. Dawley claims to have reached tho
headquarters of Gomez just after this dis
position of his forces had been made, and
found him encamped in a palm grove, his
immediate command consisting of 120 men.
He had spent six weeks wandering through
the mountains and circling over the prai
rie lands to find him, and says while with
him their horses were kept continually
saddled, ready to run upon the approach
of the Spanish. The writer adds:
"That was one year ago. Since then the
Spaniards have been almost constantly
chasing the old warrior back and forth
through the woods in the same uninhaibited
district where I left him, and it is now re
ported that we are counting upon his‘co
operation with our own troops when they
land in Cuba. The time is not far off when
the truth will be ascertained regarding
Gomez and his army, and I sometimes
wonder wjiat the feeling will 'be when that
truth is discovered.”
The .battleship Alabama, just launched
at Cramps’ shipyard, is eight feet longer
than the large battleship lowa, completed
at the same yards last year. She will be
in all respects a first-class seagoing war
ship, built to give tremendous blows as
well as to take them—a face that will be
apparent when she shall have donned her
massive armor, which is to be no less than
sixteen and a half inches thick at the top
of her belt.
Given a Flat Denial.
For sometime the IMacon Telegraph and
the very few other anti-i Candler pa<pers
have charged that .Colonel Candler, in his
speech at Clinton, Jones county, made use
of certain profane remarks, and have con
tinued their attacks upon this line even
after an emphatic denial from the speaker.
Moreover the startling discovery (?) that
■Mr. Candler “cussed” in the presence of
ladies in his Clinton speech was not made
until quite awhile afterwards, and then.by
a weekly paper published in 'North Geor
gia. 200 miles (from Clinton, though the
anti-Candler organs quickly flew to the at
tack made upon him by the discerning
North Georgia editor.
'But the whole charge has 'been exploded,
not only by Mr. Candler himself, but by
people who heard him upon that occasion.
The Atlanta Constitution published Sun
day a letter from Mrs. S. Napier, one of
the leading ladies of that section of the
state. In closing she says: “I have sent a
copy of this letter to the (Macon Teleegraph
which published the charges against Col
onel Candler, and in order to insure its
publication I ask that you print it in the
Constitution.” The letter went on to say:
Dovedale, Baldwin County. Ga., May 18,
1898.—Editor of Macon Telegraph—-. Dear
Sir: I feel it my duty to say to you that
I was present in Clinton when Colonel
Candler spoke. I sat very near him while
speaking and paid good attention. I did
not hear him say anything that would of
fend a lady and not any profanity. This
would have been sent before but I have not
been well. Yours truly,
'Mrs. Skelton Napier.
It is to be hoped that this emphatic vin
dication of Colonel Candler by one of the
very ladies of whose welfare the Macon
Telegraph was so solicitous, will settle the
matter, and that hereafter we will hear
less about the Clinton episode.
It is all right to stand up when the na
tional anthem is played, but there seems
to be some doubt as to what is the nation
anthem, mentions the Mobile Register.
For instance, the other night when the
band of the Twentieth infantry was play
ing the “Star Spangled Banner,” says the.
Register, and a lot of people were saluting
the flag by standing bareheaded under rhe
stars, the newpaper man was appealed to
by a group of ladies and gentlemen who
asked, “What tune is that?” They are
perhaps tuneless by nature, as was Gen
eral Grant, who said he knew but two
tunes, one was “Yankee Doodle” and the
other wasn’t.
The interest on the cost of the construc
tion at the Nicaraguan canal, at 3 per
cent., would run from $1.00,000 to $3,000,000
per year. Suppose it were $3.00,000. what
would that 'be? asks the New York Jour
nal. It would be just about half the sum
which the farmers of the Pacific coast
would save on the transportation of a
single wheat crop to market, says the
Journal, If thaCeanal were built those
farmers would be aftde to keep in their
pockets about $6,000,000 a year, which they
now have to pay in freights.

’ This from the Nashville Banner will
throw light on a subject about which there
has been much confusion in the public
wind: "The people need not be alarmed at
the number of Moro Castles in Cuba. The
word ‘morro’ means • promontory, and
whenever the entrance to a harbor has on
either side a conspicuous e«trance, the
principal fortification there is called
.Morro. There is a Morro Castle at Santi
ago de Cuba, and it now seems that it
will be the first of the name to crumble
before American guns.”
The supreme court of the United States
has decided that an inheritance tax is con
stitutional. This suggests at least one
means by which the large fortunes of the
country can bq reached for their just share
of taxation, thinks the Chattanooga News,
but it will hardly be available for any
considerable share of the war expenses
just now, thought it may help greatly in
the future years through which the war
debt will be run.
The Dalton Citizen expresses the belief
that Hon. O. B. Stevens, the candidate for
comissioner of agriculture, will carry 100
counties of the 137 in the state. To which
the Darien Gazette adds: “It is our opin
ion that Hon. O. 'B. Stevens will be nomi
nated by a large majority. He makes
friends wherever he goes.”
The chief peculiarity of the 'Philippine
Islands is that there are anywhere from
ICO to 2,000 of them, the largest of which
contains 40,000 to 60.000 square miles, with
a population ranging from 130,000 to 270,-
000 —according to the encyclopedia, year
book, or any other authority that may be
consulted.

Probably there is no nautical term more
frequently used during the present naval
war than the word ’ knot,” mentions the
Philadelphia Record. The word is synon-
Imous with nautical mile, or 6,080.27 feet,
while, as everyone knows, the georgraphieal
mile is 5.250 feet. This would make the
knot equal to 1 15-100 of a geographical
mile, and, therefore, in order to compare
the speed of a boat expressed in knots with
a railroad train it is necessary to multi
ply the speed in knots by 1 15-100. An
other point to remember is that speed
I means a distance traveled in unit time, so
■ that when one speaks of a boat having a
i speed of 20 knots it is not necessary or
proper tb add per hour, as the word itself
when employed as a unit of speed signifies
nautical miles per hous. iA cruiser that
makes 21 knots, travels 24.15 geographical
miles per hour. The fastest speed yet
Obtained by any boat said to have been
attained by the yacht Ellide, which is
known to have a record of one geographi
cal mile in one minuate and thirty-six and
a half seconds, or 32.2 miles an hour; in
fact, a recent article tn one of the engi
neering journals states that a record of
4t» miles an hour has been made by this
I boat.
