But It Won’t Work.
Now that the .slate primaries are only a
few days oil .and the gubernatorial man
agers ire shaping the ir, plans for election
day, proof accunrtnulatex that The News
made no mistake when it alluded to Ber
ner and Atkin. >n as the allied candidates.
Tlieie is no longer any doubt of the fact
thai they have joined forces or will do so
June full. In proof of this is the aaiblish
ed tai< mi in that in those* counties where
IBcrncr is stronger than Atkinson, the lat
ter's strength will lie thrown to Berner,
and vice versa. As, for insatnee, here in
(Bibb, win re \ikinson men are few and far
bet wi i n, and where there are not enough
ißerner men to speak of, there will be no
\tklnson li legates, and the latter's friends
will be expected to support Berner.
Arrangements for a similar plan of ac
tion on June 6th seems to be under way in
■other counties in the state, and there is no
longer any doubt of the fact that the allied
forces are working in perfect harmony and
with a thorough understanding.
Hut today's Constitution points out the
fact that tin* scheme has its objections. It
might work better but for the people can
not be traded around first to one and then
to anolhe.r with absolute certainty. In
trying to throw the Atkinson men to Ber
ner in the latter's strongest counties some
of the Atkinson voters are liable to drop
into the Candler ranks, says Hie Consti
tution. \nd in attempting to transfer 'the
'Berner voters to the Atkinson column in
the latter's strongest counties there would
be sure losses which would go to Colonel
Candler.
Judge Satn Atkinson, w'ho Is tuanageing
his hrolu tr's campaign, went over to the
state house yesterday, says the Consti
tution, and had a conference with I.VIr.
Douglass Glessner, secretary of the pris
on commission, editor of the Griffin News
and 'chief pusher for Senator Berner. They
were asked if an Atkinson ticket would be
run in Spalding county or a Berner ticket in
Coweta county, and both said they did not
know. Mr. Glessner said that he was not
managing the Berner campaign and could
not state what his plans were. Judge At
kinson remarked that he did not know
what the Berner people were going to do.
The Constituion further says:
Ihe chief advisers of Messrs. Berner
and Atkinson wear a worried look these
days. It is thought that they realize the
situation and that there is no chance to
beat Colonel Candler. Then they are hear
ing from people about the scheme to trade
them. That proposition is making a stir
out through the state. It is a hard prob
lem to solve, for tfte Candler forces are
standing firm, while Berner and Atkinson
divide the opposition vote. No matter
which way it is handled it is going to helip
Colonel Candler. The politicians have
been greatly disappointed in South Geor
gia. When the campaign was originally
mapped out it was assumed that Atkinson
would carry South Georgia and Senator
(Berner would sweep the middle section.
But Colonel Candler has the First' con
gressional district practically solid with a
great list of coutwtes in the Eleventh, Sec-,
ond, Third, Fourth and Sixth districts. iAll
the other districts are his beyond question.
In the Fourth district Colonel Candler
seems certain to beat both his opponents
two to one. Judge Atkinson's support is al
most altogether confined to the extreme
southeastern counties, while Senaotr Ber
ner w ill not get many outside his . own
immediate section. And this is what wor
ries the oposition.”
The Telegraph waxes violent in declaring
■that the people should throw off the ring
sters. The Telegraph need have no fear—
this is just what the people are doing. And
they are going'to throw off the very ring
sters whose cause the Telegraph has sup
ported in its characteristic way.
Objects of the War.
The sole object of the war wi(h Spain,
as stated at the outset, officially and
otherwise, was to relieve the immediate
condition of the people of Cuba, and ulti
mately to give them their political free
dom.
But as the war progresses and the scene
of action broadens, now taking in those
islands of the far-away Orient, the Philip
pines. as wa ll as Porto Hico, while as yet
Cuba, which we went to war to liberate,
remains still in the hands of the Span
iards. it would seem that we began to lose
track of the real object of the war: that
the government itself is losing track of it.
have not kept well in mind the fact
that this is not a war purely or primarily
of conquest or glory, but a war for human
ity and the establishment of political free
dom. We did not enter upon the war for
revenge, notwitshtanding the cry "Re
member the Maine." h as a sloßan ln the
conflict. Me took higher ground. It’is
important we should maintain it
Liberation of Cuba and relief of the re
concenttados were among the original
causes of the war. hut the’ invasion of

centrados ar< fas: disappearing bv starva
tion and impat . nee at this situation is
evit j.i n. i. manifested, A question often
asked is this: "What is the use of a long
war against Spain if. by the time we con

we int* tided to help are dead*”
Indeed, does it not ippear cruelly incon

dering their condition all the more helpless

a war primarily wrong should be attended
by so many blunders.

as much as any other writer since the
civil war. Undoubtedly the Utopian eco
nomic system therein elaborately laid out
met with favor in the minds of thousands
of his readers and countless other, were
interested and got an appreciation of so
ciological conditions and the difficulties
now contended .with that they would not
otherwise have received.
An Encouraging Outlook.
While the war hie, no doubt, tended to
disturb business conditions somewhat,
there Is no reason why the'people of this
particular section should be discourage
over the outlook.
On the contrary, there is every reason
to believe that there will be an almost
immediate improvement in business con
ditions so far as this Immediate section i»
•concerned, and we have to look no further
than the peach belt of Georgia, of which
Macon is tin center, to’find the cause.
There is no longer any doubt as to the
condition of the crops in this section, and
it is already certain that a million dollars
of northern money will be brought into the
towns and country around 'Ma on.
There is a prospect that at least 1,000
carloaiis of peaches will be shipped from
the Fort Valley section of the Georgia Cen
tral railroad alone. .As'the Georgia sup
ply is the flrkt of eastern growth to reach
market and as the culture is in the hand.-
of most experienced growers, and the most
approved methods are employed, there is
no doubt as to the results. There is every
reason, therefore, that money will be plen
tifuj and trade good throughout this sec
tion during the summer.
Why We Are Laughed At.
No wonder the military, powers of the
world laugh at our efforts to raise an
army. No wonder they i.~ igine we are
weak as a nation, when, to light a nation
like Spain, we must 'issue a call for fully
200,000 troops. in .fact recruit an entire
army, instead <rf maintaining a standing
army of sufficient size to meet any ordi
nary exigency c*f this kind. 'But it is still
less a wonder that they ridicule us when
they read the list of the president's ap
pointments. Indeed, the appended list is
sufficient to disgust even the most patri
otic in our own eounrty. Think of respon
sible military positions being given out to
chaps like these, and for no.better reason
than is apparent: K
Two sons of ex-President Grant.
A son of ex-President Hayes.
A son of ex-President Harrison.
A grandson of ex-Presidi nt Grant.
A son of General John A. Logan.
A son of hte Astors.
A son of Senator Foraker.
A son of Senator .Sewell.
A son of Senator Gray.
Two ex-Senator Calvin Brice.
IA son of ex-Mayor Strong, of New- York.
A son of ex-'Mayor Hewett, of New
York.
A son of Vice President -Hobart’s broth
er.
A brother of Vanderbilt’s son-in-law.
A son of Secretary Alger.
A son of'ex-Consul General John C. New.
Speaking of cruisers and battleships, the
Chicago Record clears up a subject that
has clouded the public mind to some ex
tent. A cruiser is a vessel which travels
at a high speed, carrying a comparatively
light equipment ’of guns, but immensely
valuable as a destroyer of commerce and
for swift work in intercepting an enemy
where he least expects to find opposition.
It can get away from an antagonist who is
too strong for it and van defend itself in
case of an engagement with inferior war
ships. IA battleship differs from a cruiser
in that it is designed not for quick work
in maneuvering, but for stability and of
fensive work against a powerful antago
nist. -It is a floating fort and naachtine
shop combined. According to the best au
thorities those which are known as “first
class batleships” are vessels having a dis
placement of over (1,000 tons and not more
than twelve years old. Second-class bat
tleships must be not more than twenty
years old or of Uss than 5,060 tons dis
placement.
The surgeons who have been making ex
aminations o-f the members of the militia
volunteers will make reports that will be
apt to discourage, though it may not ex
tinguish, the Hie bicycle habit, and partic
ularly tlie use of low handle bars, says the
Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Record. It is said at the medical depart
ment of the army that a great number of
the volunteers who have been rejected for
physical disability are bicycle riders who,
by that violent exercise, have developed
diseases of the heart and the spine which
Unfit them for exposure or endurance. The
troubles are said to be confined almost en
tirely to riders who use low handle hars
and lean forward in the saddle. This po
sition not only induces curvature of the
spine and other diseases in that -part of the
anatomy, but. causes the other organs to
crowd the heart out of its place and pro
duce irritation, which ultimately becomes
chronic.
Says the Americus Herald: “'Many seem
to have been of the opinion that the Tel
egraph was just against Democracy. That
is a mistate. It seems not only Democ
racy that the old sheet is fighting but
everyone and everything connected with
the world we live in. It kicks against th?
pure Democracy of thfi state. It kicks
against the Democracy of the country, and
at the same time lit abuses the present
administration for its inefficiency in the
present struggle. The Telegraph seems to
want one thing, the defeat of Allen D.
Candler, and, sad for it, it will not get its
wish.
When Foraker was governor of Ohio and
there was talk of returning*the captured
Confederate flags, he declared “no rebel
flags shall be returned while I am gover
nor.” A few- days since, without any so
licitation or sugestion from onyOne, he
said: “I think it would be a good thing at
this time to return the 'Confederate flags
iff our brethren in the Routh want them
back.” Time and conditions have softened
the fire alarm man's heart and sobered his
judgment, remarks an exchange. ~
.' In volunteering for war and in accept
ing the colonelcy of a regiment from his
state ex-Candidate Bryan furnishes a no
table exception to the objections against
civilian apointments, says the New York
•World. His action will do a great deal to
popularize the service with the class of
young men whom the country wants to
see in the ranks.
It is not generally known that Admiral
Cervera. the comnffthder of he mysterious
Spanish fleet which is now causing the
navy department so much concern, was
formerly a naval attache in Washington.
He represented the government of Spain
in that city about fifteen years ago. says
the Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune.
The Camilla correspondent of the At
lanta Constitution says: “Reliable infor
mation received from adjoining qpurft’es
shows that Southwest Georgia will go al
most solidly for the “One-eyed Plow Boy
of Pigeon Roost.” Candler will undoubt
edly carry Mitchell. Miller, Decatur.
Thomas, Dougherty, Colquitt and Brooks."
The time was when the ill will toward '
us manifested by Continental Europe' would
have offended American sensitiveness very
rudely, but we have attained to a con
sciousness of independent strength which
now makes us indifferent to such foreign
sentiment, declares the New York Sun.
Nothing jo dampens the ardor of a sol
dier and dulls the edge of his ambition as
the realization that promotion can be gain
ed through political influence rather than
by personal fitness or valorous deeds, sen
sibly remarks the New York Hfrald.
Some historian has discovered that Lord
Nelson also had considerable trouble in
finding the Spanish and French fleets,
which he destroyed at Trafalgar.
The Atlanta Commercial suspects that
the President will appoint Judson Lyons
brigadier general from Georgia.

I SKIPPED.
Min Whj is Believed to Have Spied —Posed
as a Newspaper Writer-.
In Camp., Lakeland, Fla., May 26—A
Spanish spy is supposed to have visited
- this place, and for two days, it is believed,
he was taking liberal notes while he wa
j being entertained as a newspaper man.
j He drifted into this place several days ago
I and gave the name of -Corbett. He said he
was a, newspaper man from* the East, scut
here to report the doings at the camps.
He was granted every facility for get
ting interesting bits of news, and for two
days he nosed about, incessantly asking
questions leading up to the strength of the
army mobilized at this -point and paints in
and about Tampa.
So persistent was he in his questions re
garding the forces, that a suspicion was
raised in the minds of the officers, and
one evening he was asked to show some of
the copy he was sending to his paper.
He finally presented a few pages of
poorly-written matter Later in the even
ing he was caught at some kind of figur
ing.
He said nothing, but later in the night
ho disappeared, and with him went a pair
of field glasses and an officer’s army pis
tol.
He pawned the field glasses at Tampa
and offered the pistol for sale, hut refused
to part with it when offered less than his
price.
Chief of Police Burke, of Tampa, was
appealed to, and, with Lieutenant Lyons,
has begun a search.
