Thus The News is prepared to give the public an enteriainininl free of cost, prom ising the most reliable and prompt bul letins received in IMacon.

Come around next Monday night and read The News’ election returns and war bulletins. Everybody is invited. The people must have the news—election news as well as war news. T'ue News win display both next 'Monday nignt. I hat Commission. The News has been handled the follow ing interesting communication, which throws some new light on the railroad commission bill, about iwhich there has been so much discussion. The comtnunea tiion clearly vindicates the position taken by Colonel Candler and shows where Air. Berner stood at that time. <lt is addressed to '.Mr. .1. T. Williams, of Jones county, and Is as follows: Eatonton, 'May 18th, 1898. Mr. J. T. Williams- Dear Sir: Yours of the 10th Inst making inquiry concerning the railroad coinmis eion bill which was before the general as semblj in lss.>. to hand. The article pub lished in the Eatonton 'Messenger to which you refer, was written, I understand by a citizen of this place. I never saw it prior to its publication. My recollection of tint bill referred to is this: It originated in the senate and passed that branch of the legislature. It contain ed what to me was a very objectionable feature, in that it provided for an appeal from the action of the commission in fix ing rates to a jury. W hile this looked fair, I thought that the practical effect would be to very much impair, if not destroy, the usefulness of the commission. It would have had no ul timate or final power in fixing rates. The bill, as stated, came to the house with the objectionable appeal privision. Its pas sage was recommended by a majority of the railroad committee, there being a mi nority report signed by Mr. Berner and others. When the bill was read a third lime for the purpose of being put upon its passage, 1 immediately obtained the floor, and offered an amendment striking out «11 that portion of the bill providing for an appeal. This amendment brought about quite a prolonged debate. lasting through « portion of several days. On a vote ‘being had the amendment received eighty-odd votes, a majority of those voting, and was thereby adopted as part of the bill. The bill as amended, when put upon its .pas sage, also received eighty-odd votes, but it failed to get eighty-eight votes, or a con stitutional majority of the whole house of 175 members. The bill as passed by the sen ate contained theobjectinable appeal pro vision and was never voted on at all in the house. A minority of the house, including' (Mr. Berner, voted against the amendment and also against the bill as amended. Very truly. W. T. Jenkins. The most complete election returns will be displayed by The News next Monday night. * .a/ « Our Need of Haiwaii.

Hawaii stands at the cross-roads „f the Pacific. It is half-wav o our new possessions in the Philippines stem Se and bulwark to our exposed Pamfie coast. The lesson of the war so far h . the vital need of naval stations and Hawaii being the most important within our reach, it would be folly not to take it when offered us. Is This the Trouble? A local story in today’s News brings to the attention of our city authorities a most vital question in connection with the pres ent health of the city, which—for the truth cannot be disguised—is not the best. It is asserted on the very .best authority, based on a careful analysis, that the trouble is not, as generally supposed, with the city’s water supply. While the water now being served the people is not all that could be desired, expert testimony, from an impartial source, goes to show that it is not actually unhealthful, and. therefore, is not responsible for the epidemic of fevers and other ills that now afflict our people. VS hat then is the cause? On this point The News prints an opinion from an equally reliable source going to snow that the city’s sewer system has faulty features which alone are responsible lor so much sickness. .And, without expressing a posi tive opinion, pending a thorough investi gation of the matter, we must confess that the reasons given seem entirely plausible in view of the facts. In a word, it is asserted that the sewer openings, which seem to be peculiar only to the ‘Macon sewerage system, are the real cause of the city’s unhealthfulness. It is staled that such openings are to be found in few- other systems, and are not considered safe from a modern sanitary standpoint. The News learns that there was much opposition to these openings at the time the sewers were built, and that the contractors themselves suggested the danger thereof, —though, of course, they carried out the work in accordance with the specifications—but were overruled by the supervising engineer. Whatever may be the facts in the case, the matter should be investigated. It is of too am ion* « nature to be settled by the unsupported opinion of one or a few men. If the sewer system is faulty the people should know it. it the sewer openings are a menace to the health and lives of our citizens they should be done away with. Expert testimony should be had at once. In ‘behalf of the citizens of Macon, whose lives are at stake, The News appeals to council to take the matter under imme diate and serious consideration. If it be true that the sewer openings are responsible for so much sickness in Ma con, the matter should be remedied at once. The thing to do is to find out. It Goes. The Macon Telegraph puts forth a char acteristic editorial today apologizing to itself for being called a liar by Colonel Candler, and incidentally attempts to justify its article which called forth froffi Colonel Candler such an emphatic and de served reply. The Telegraph twists the entire matter around so as to make it appear that the article as published was substantially cor rect, and that Colonel Candler misrepre sented the case when he called the Tele graph a liar. We do not believe Colonel Candler needs any help to make good his assertions, especially when they are so clearly in the range of possibilities as they always are when he characterizes the Telegraph in the manner of his Griffin speech. But, just the same, it is not out of place to call at tention to the real point at issue, and to see wherein the Telegraph has failed to lie on Colonel Candler, or wherein Colonel Candler has done the Telegraph an injus tice in saying it lied. The Telegraph stated very calmly and deliberately that Colonel Mark Hardin and Mr. Phil Cook, candidates for the Demo cratic nomination for secretary of state, are indignant over the scheme launched by some of Colonel Candler’s friends to place at least one county in Georgia in position to be used advantageously in a trade, if opportunity arises in the conven tion. The cause of their alleged complaint, ac cording to the Telegraph, was that tickets had been- issued in Forsyth county, in the northeastern portion of the state, with the name of Hon. .William Clifton, the present secretary, instead of the names of Colonel Hardin and Mr. Cook. The Telegraph further stated that this alleged trick in an acknowledged Candler county, prompts the opposition to wonder if the Candler forces are not preparing for a deadlock in the convention. If the article had any meaning at all, it was intended as a reflection on Colonel Candler’s campaign methods. Indeed, no one will believe that it would have been published at all except for such a pur pose. Therefore it constituted a definite and serious charge against Colonel Cand ler and his campaign managers, and as such was, no doubt, intended by the Tele graph. which, throughout this campaign— while deceitfully professing neutrality— has eagerly published everything of a nature unfavorable to Colonel Candler, supplemented by malicious editorial com ment thereon; but never a word in his favor or even fairly just to him. Naturally enough. ■ the Telegraph’s charge called for a reply from Colonel Candler, and this was promptly forth coming in the following style, according to the Telegraph’s own account: “Going further, he said that the Tele graph had never been Democratic save in name and he hurled at its head the epi thet of “ gratuitous liar.” Reading a spe cial from Atlanta in the Issue of this morning as regards Colonel 'Mark [Hardin and 'Mr. Phil Cook being in the city and their indignation over a scheme launched in. Forsyth county in re gard to bogus tickets, or rather tickets with the name of Hon. William Clifton on them instead of either of the two other gentlemen, he said it was a wilful lie.” Now. the Telegraph purposely, and. no doubt maliciously, charged Col. Candler or his friends with a form of trickery—'with doing a certain thing for which, as all the facts show, they were in no sense respon sible. Colonel Candler flatly denied the allegations and “denounced the alligator." Investigation showed that the Telegraph’s charge was unfounded, except in so far as it related to the inadvertent act of a getlemen whose oversight could be given no such construction as the Tele graph placed upon it. The manly thing, the decent thing, the honest thing, therefore, for the Telegraph to do was to apologize to Colonel Candler for having made such an unjust charge. But who would expect either of these things from such a source? What did it do? Why. as was expected, it attempted to justify its action, and snarled at Colo nel Candler for calling a spade a spade. It complained at his “gift of expletive." and even went so far as to say, in answer to Colonel Candler’s caustic characteriza tion. “gratuitous liar.” that it had “no gift in that direction—no taste for that sort of thing”—a habit it was probably cured of only a short time ago, for the Telegraph. It will be remembered, estab lished a temporary reputation as being prompt to call almost anyone a liar who dared to teH the truth on it. But so familiar is the Telegraph with the term “liar” that it accepts the epithet complacently when applied to itself: there fore it pursues the unique policy of argu ing with Colonel Candler the justice of his latest attempts at expletive, while, at the same time, trying to justify itself through a circumstance which in no way affects the point at issue. We don’t know how Colonel Candler feels about it. but. so far. we have failed to discover one single reason why Colonel Candler should in any wav modify the language used by him at Griffin with refer ence to the Telegraph. Indeed, we are of the opinion that the general public will not object to it on general principles. Therefore, we are led to infer that it still goe®.

PRE H POWDER Absolutely Pure Who is a Democrat? The Atlanta Journal of yesterday gives its leading editorial the above pertinent heading. “Who is a 'Democrat?” asks the Journal. Or, to put another way, “What is a Democrat?' ' It will be generally admit ted, we think, that the Journal is sadly in need of information on this point. We have known all along that the Journal was not quite clear as to who and what a Dem ocrat is. Had it been otherwise it would have had the honesty, perhaps, to make no professions as to its own standing in the party. But, to answer the Journal’s question, William Jennings Bryan, whom the Jour nal has slandered and belittled in season and out, is a Democrat, while' Grover Cleveland, whom the Journal has bootlick ed and applauded day after day, is a mug wump of mugwumps. Therefore, those newspapers which have stood by the for mer are Democratic, while the Journal, which has persistently opposed* the Demo cratic leader and his principles, is un •Democratic in all that the term implies. To put it another way, a Democrat is one who endorses his party’s platform and stands by his party’s candidates. Those who refuse to accept the'Democratic plat form and who oppose the pasty’s candi dates are not Democrats. This is a simple rule, hut will, we be lieve, hold good in every case. It certainly applies with force to the Journal, the Ma con Telegraph and a few other sore-head, disgruntled paper:} in the South. Let the Journal think of it, and it may easily find the answer to its questions—“ Who is a Democrat?” “What is a Democrat?” The New York Sun has discovered that the office of the New York Evening Post is honeycombed with Spanish spies. A Tribute to the Ringsters. “Who are the ringsters?” asks the Rome Tribune. Who, indeed? Any information offered the Tribune on this point would be like carrying coals to Newcastle. The Tribune’s long and .intimate acquaintance and connection with the most disreputable gang of ringsters that ever dominated the politics of this state not only places it in a position to know positively who the ring sters are, but where they are “at,” how that the people have rebelled against their rule and are determined to throw them off next 'Monday. And as a ringster the Tribune deserves to rank with the worst of them: for it has been the hand organ of their chief for th® past several years. And to make its of fense worse it has dared to steal the cloak of political reform to serve the ringsters' in. For weeks and months the Tribune has been crying, “stop thief.” while all the time shielding the real “ringsters” behind its saintly garments. As a political Phari see the Tribune is several steps ahead of anything in the procession. If a race war breaks out in Charleston, thinks the 'Memphis Commercial-Appeal, it must be attributed to the following edi-’ torial paragraph from the News and Courier of that city: “We rise to remind Messrs. Sampson and Schley and their brave comrades that in this crisis in our naval affairs America expects every man to Deweys Deweyty.” A Kansas scientist has just published a thrilling romance entitled “The Behavior of Kinoplasm and Nucleolus in the Divis ion of the Pollen Mother Cells of Asclep ias Cornute.” We confess that it is a dif ficult matter to differ with the gentleman on the theory advanced. The Republicans are going to make a. desperate effort to capture Tennessee this year, and some rather sensational devel opments may be looked for, declares the Knoxville Tribune. Perhaps the Tribune really meant criminal developments. The Augusta Herald claims to have met a man the other day who had no sugges tions for the capture of Cervera. He was deaf and dumb and had been so all his life. All this here talk about Admnrable Ser verer’s being 'bottle'd up in Virago de Cuba makes us tired, gently remarks an ex change. Cervera no doubt feels that those con gratulations tendered him for entering Santiago harbor were a little premature. Someone suggests that the Washington baseball team this season is apparently managed by a board of strategy. The News has arranged for a special magic latern display of election returns and war news for next 'Monday night. Come around next 'Monday night and read The News’ election returns and war buletins. Gentlemen of council, investigate those sewer openings. The people’s lives are in volved. An exchange suggests that Memorial Day and Decoration Day get together.
