Those Sewer Openings.
Already Th.' News has heard many com
ments on its article calling attention to
tiie sewer openings as tin- prOoable cause
ot ttie epidemic ot sickness that at pres
ent afflicts tins city, and numerous have
Hieiii the opinions expressed endorsing The
(News' demand for an investigation.
A number of prominent citizens have
expressed to The News personally the opin
ion that the theory advanced is the correct
one, witile those who have no positive
opinion on tiie subject, want to know ex
actly where the trouble lies.
The mote The News lias looked at the
matter the more convinced is it that the
trouble is witli the sewers. It Is The
News' opinion that the trouble may be
somewhat aggravated in the present in
stance because of Ute unusual condition of
the sewets, but tliis would only prove the
danger of lite openings as at present loca
ted. We are now experiencing the long
est drouth tn many years, hence the sew
ers are necessarily full of effete matter.
Iliad they been washed out by frequent
rains, or had they been flushed in the
usual way. the amount of poisonous gases
escapinr, through the openings might not
be sutliei.nt t<> cause a great deal of sick
ness. Hut being in such an unusual state,
tiie sewers throw off more poisonous gases
than usual, and this escaping right under
the doors and windows of our homes nat
urally causes sickness. This, at least, is
a most plausible explanation of the
trouble, and one that will readily' appeal to
all thinking people.
No less plausible is the theory that if
these openings had been placed atoove the
house tops the poisonous gas would be
carried oil Without contaminating the air
in and around tiie house.
Look at it as we may, the matter de
serves serious and immediate attention.
It is more than reckless to attempt to ig
nore or disguise present conditions. The
lives of our people are at stake. Many are
already sick, many more will, in all prob
ability t>e stricken down if they continue
to bt< alite the poisonous gas .from the sew
ers. Something must be done.
Tiie News offers positive evidence that
the trouble is not with the water. A
careful analysis shows that the water is
'•safely above suspicion.” What, then, is
tiie trouble? Certain experts say that it
is the sewer openings. Some say these
openings were objected to at the outset.
It is even stated that the contractors sug
gested the danger of them, but were over
ruled. We have even heard it stated that
one of the gentlemen who was connected
witli the sewer work, expressed no sur
prise at the present conditions, saying he
was only surprised that the danger from
the openings had not made itself manifest
before.
In the face of such expressions, in the
face of such appalling facts, can council
hesitate? Can the city authorities refuse
to make a thorough investigation of the
matter.' What reason is there for even
a day s delay? The scores of people who
are now tossing on fevered beds echo the
question. "Will council act?
The people may submit when only their
pocketbooks are involved, but they tire not
to be trifled with when their families are
at stake. They want to know if what has
been said about these sewer openings is
true or not. They will not accept the
opinion of one or a few men; they want
expert testimony. Only an investigation
can bring out the truth.
As to Cervera.
The most authentic reports seem to indi
cate that the American fleet has so far
failed to accomplish its purpose with re
gard to Cervera ami Santiago. So that,
notwithstanding the recent engagement, a
decisive light is yet to come—perhaps to
day.
Cuba is to be invaded at once, conse
quently Cervera’s fleet must be destroyed
or captured. We cannot trust to the "boi
tling up" process. Evidently the govern
ment. at Washington and Commodore
Schley appreciate the fact that so long as
the fleet is in existence as a Spanish fleet,
even if it is "bottled up.” it is a menace
to our operations for circumstances might
arise which would give it a chance of es
cape. Therefore, it seems evident, from
all that can be learned, that Schley con
templates getting at the fleet in some way
at once and destroy it or compelling a sur
render.
It is known that Schley has liberal in
structions as to the methods to be adopted
in destroying it or capturing it. The de
tails must be left to the judgment of the
man who directs the assault on the ene
my's ships.
He will continue the work begun two
days ago and if he has not disposed of
<. ervera's fleet by the time the troops from
Key West arrive at Santiago, he will then
have the help of the army in the bombard
ment o<f the ships by artillery posted in
the surrounding hills.
It is generally believed that many troops
have already been landed in Cuba, but in
view of the conflicting reports it is im
possible to say anything with certainty on
this point It is the policy of the govern
ment to create as much confusion and un
certainty as to the movements of the army
as possible, so as to throw the Spanish
spies off the scent. All we know is that
The invasion is about to take place or al
ready begun. Os course it would be of
great advantage to Blanco to know of the
|exact time and place, or places, of the
landing of our troops. That must not be
allowed. To prevent it may be to sate
many lives of our soldiers.
lor similar strategis reasons it may be
expected that we shall be kept somewhat
in the dark as to whether troops will be
sent on to Porto Rico immediately after
the destruction of the Spanish fleet and the
conquest of Santiago, or whether that
movement will be delayed until after the
attacked at Havana.
- -•- ‘Ss-JiAA
Railroad Dictation Again.
The News has persistently refused to
take sides in the present Legislative race,
believing as it did that all of the gentle
men who have offered are worthy to rep
resent Bibb county in the General Assem-
My
Nor does The News propose to espouse
the cause of any particular candidate now;
but certain facts have been brought to its
attention within the past few hours that
forces it to sound a warning.
In a word. It is reliably understood that
the Southern Railway seeks to defeat a
certain candidate, and is secretly using its
forces to accomplish this point. Everyone
will recall the part played by the South
ern in the last Legislative race; how it
caused circulars to be issued on the day of
election warning its employes not to vote
for a certain candidate—because, forsooth,
he had dared to defend a man charged with
wrecking one of the Southern’s trains. At
least, this was the offense upon which
stress was laid. It so happened that the
Southern’s tools got in their work against
the candidate in question before its game
was discovered, and its victim was defeated
by about a dozen votese, but had the sun
stood still for a few minutes longer, or
had the Southern’s scheme been discovered
a few minutes sooner the object of its wrath
would have been elected by a safe major
ity—for hundreds of people became right
eously incensed at this effort at dictation
on the part of a railroad corporation.
Fortunately the Southern has been
watched this time, and the watch has not
proven fruitless. The giant monopoly and
its tools have moved stealthily, but mur
der will out, and so its game has been un
earthed just a few days before the election
this year—allowing ample time for the
free, untrammelled voters of Bibb county
to register a lust rdbuke of such interfer
ence on tiie part of a railroad.
The News confesses that it had rather
not say so much even seemingly in the in
terest of any particular candidate, but it
would be untrue to its convictions and un
faithful to the interests of the people should
it fail to expose this outrageous attempt
at dictation on the part of a railroad mo
nopoly. It is for the people to be true to
themselves in condemning such interfer
ence. They cannot afford to ignore such
a matter.
It is a serious piece of business when a
railroad attempts to say to a sovereign
people, “You shall not elect this man to
office; you must take this one, or this.”
What object can a railroad have in sayipg
who shall and who shall not go to the
Legislature? By what right does it at
tempt to dictate?
We do not know how others may feel,
but as for ourselves, we would vote for our
worst enemy should he be confronted with
such opposition.
“ The general feeling of impatience
that now possesses our people only shows
what a fast age we are living in. It took
tNelson two years and five months weary
waiting and long chasing after the French
and Spanish fleets to tiring off the battle
of Trafalgar. And yet we are demand
ing the complete annihilation of the Span
ish fleet within a month after war was
declared.
The iNews has retrained from taking a
hand in the present legislative race, but it
cannot remain silent and see a railroad
corporation dictate who the people of the
county shall elect to office.
It stands to reason that foul gases aris
ing right under the noses of the family
are not conducive to health. Surely, noun
cil will have the matter thoroughly in
vestigated.
There should be some iway of accounting
for the present epidemic of sickness. Are
the city authorities afraid to have an in
vestigation ?
The Georgia Bankers’ Association will
hold its seventh annual convention at Ty
bee Island on June 15th and 16th. There
will be 125 or more bankers in attendance.
The News’ story about those sewer
openings has put the people to thinking.
The idea of breathing poisonous gases day
in and day out is mot relished by many.
If the sewer openings are responsible for
the epidemic of sickness that now afflicts
'Macon, the people should know it in time
to save their lives.
The indications are that conscription is
not far off. Some of the war shouters may
yet have a chance to show their patriotism
—if they don’t hide out.
So the Southern proposes to again take
a hand in 'Bibb county politics, eh? Well,
we shall see.
Old Potty is now engaged in an effort to
make the women vote against Colonel
Candler.
As Candler s victory becomes more cer
tain, the Telegraph grows more ’bilious.

Vessels Will be Sold in New York to Avoid a
Ring-
Key West, June I.—The condemned ves
sels Panama, Guido, Buena Ventura and
probably the Pedro will be sent to New
York to be sold as prizes. The action is
said to be necessary because a ring is said
to have been formed here by the owners
to have them auctioned off much below
their value. The government expects to
buy the Guido to use as a supply ship. The
prisoners on board to the number of 160
men will be held because they are mem
bers of the Spanish naval reserves. They
will go with the ships to New York. The
authorities here say that probably all will
be paroled on arrival at New York. The
ships will sail under a strong convoy.
Deafness Cannot be Cured.
By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portions of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused toy an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining M the Eustachian tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and
wlien it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out. of ten are caused
by catarrh, iwhich is nothing but an in
flumed condition of 'the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot toe 'cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

LOST IN ALASKA.
Gold Seekers Nearly Starved to Death-
Rich Discoveries.
Skagaway, via Seattle, Wash., June 1 —
Attired in tatters, Patrick Galvin, a Yukon
millionaire, walked into Taiya recently.
With him were Ed D. Hickman, Charles
H. Shulz and Louis Mazade. Galvin and
Hickman left 'Dawson May 1, and through
the desertion of Indian guides, were lost
more than six days and nearly starved to
death.
Mazade estimated that Eldorado and
Bonanza Creeks will turn out $15,000,000.
and he gives $10,000,000 as the total for
the remainder of Yukon territory.
Rich discoveries have recently been
made in Dawson City itself, but the
Canadian gold commissioner will not al
low the claims to be worked. He has also
stopped prospecting within the town
limits.
