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 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. RIM py POWDER Absolutely Pure ’ 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.

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. »•-» •<-»:«"<. x z-u.
