Beer as a Temperance Agent.
The News li.i- always contended that the
drinkiag of light beverages like be r and
wine h in.-- the eoiisuniptio 1 of wnisKy,
an l, ther lore, drinkers, lor it is general
ly admitted that liter, a tleast, is not re
sponsible lor any considerable amount of
■inteuiperaiKf.
it might be even said that beer is, in
fact, a temperance agent. People who
have patronized saloons for the past few
years will bear witness to this fact. They
nave i I, rived it, no ifoubt, in the chanae
ler of tlie patronage, as well as in the im
proved conditions that have followed this
change of the public’s habits. For in
stance, a .lose observer would have no
ticed a few years ago that nine men out of
every ten invariably called for whisky
when they entered a salon’ll. Now the re
verse is true, nine men drink bear where
one drinks wtiisky. This change has come
about through the increased manufacture
of ’beer, a decrease in price and Improve
ment in quality. And no man who is a't
all familiar witli the traffic will fail to tell
you that there ds less drunkenness t’hau
ever before.
Hut these facts can tie demonstrated by
something more titan mere general state
ments. Government statistics, when
properly understood aim applied, demon
strate the fact most conclusively. As the
manufacture ami consumption of beer in
this country have increased t’he consump
tion of wtiisky have decreased. In 1893
tlie total production of distilled spirits,
which had been increasing for the five
years preceding, reached the maximum of
131,000,000 gallons. The next year it fell
to 92.000,000, then to 52.000.000, and last
year the total production was but 64,279,000
gallons.
The amount withdrawn from consump
tion, which is that on which the tux is
paid, was ’.i7.500.000 gallons in 1993 and in
1897 less than 6!*,000,000, the average for
the last four yeans having been 74,400,000
gallons, against 90,300,000 in the four
years preceding.
While we have no statistics at hand
showing 'the increase in the manufacture
and consumtion of beer, it will be general
ly admitted, we think, that the increase
lias been even greater than the decreased
sale of whisky.
The falling off in the reported produc
tion of bourbon whisky from forty million
gallons in 1993 to six milion gallons in
1597 sugests that 'the people have found
a bot her beverage, and one less hurtful,
less costly and less dangerous in every
way.
This is why we say our prohibition
friends would be doing some real good if
they would only take up a practical plan
of reform one that has already demon
strated i'ls effectiveness as a temperance
agent. Beer has. perhaps, done more
within the past few years to lessen the
sale of whisky in America than all other
agencies combined.
Germany and France, where drunken
ness Is rare, but where the consumption of
beer and wine is greater, furnish addition
al proof of the soundness of such an argu
ment.
The Fall of Havana.
It is generally admitted that the fall of
'Havana will mark the close of the war.
That accomplished. Spain’s dominion in
America will be a thing of 'the past, never
to be restored, it is the object of the wac
department, therefore, to make the attack
on Havana as soon as practicable, and this
is not a great while off.
With General Shafter’s army safely in
Cuba. <l. neral Coppinger’s force will be
dispatched to Porto Rico, thus forming the
nucleus for the army that is to do the
real work.
The tenor of talk in Washington, says a
dispatch, is that an army of 40,000 men
•will at once be mobilized from the best
drilled volunteers at Chickamauga, Camp
Alger and elsewhere, which will be sent to
Cuba under Major General Fitzhugh Lee,
to co-opera'te with the fleet in the reduc
tion of Havana.
This movement, however, cannot be
made until the fall of Santiago de Cuba
and San Juan de Porto Rico, which events
vCill release the heavy war ships from duty
there. It will be at least a month before
this army can be equipped, ready to leave
the present camps and move to the point
of embarkation: and it may take even
longer than that.
There is no doubt the government has
hesitated to send an army to the vicinity
of Havana because of the unhealthfulness
of that region during the rainy season. The
volunteer troops. however, are today far
better fitted for a tropical campaign than
they were when first brought to Southern
camps. They have become seasoned to the
heat, to drill and movements under ’the
burning sun. and Inured to campaign life
and army fare. Ry the time they are call
ed on to go to the front, they will be still
better fitted for the work they have to <k>.
For a Big Celebration.
The -News is gratified that the Pubkie
Library directors have already taken up
the matter of a Fourth of July celebration.
Now. why not make it be the greatest ever
witnessed in Macon? Os all times this is
the year for a big celebration. The mar
tial spirit possesses ttie people and every
one would join in to have a rousing pa
triotic celebration of the nation’s birthday
this year whatever the exact character of
the program may be. There should be a
parade of civic and military bodies of con
siderable size and no little interest. The
school children should participate, prob
ably by the boys who are old enough
marching and the girls riding in floats. In
the preparation of the latter there would
be a great opportunity for introducing pa
triotic as wall as beautiful and striking
scenes and pictures in the parade.
Let’s go in for a big celebration on the
Fourth.
General Humidity is still in command.
’ Mcnometalism.
With ore of t»he vital proposition* in
this question we have dealt, viz: the effect
upon i-i- ce.i of a dimintshvd suupiy of
money says:
The second, which much confuse, .ven
the honest thinker, is the ability of legis
lation to restore the former value to a
now depreciated metal, if the phrase w. r'c
used, ”a now demonetized metal,” we
might get the- key to the question under
discussion, for who can doubt that the
abandonment of silver as a full legal ten
der coin has brought about a depreciation
of that metal, and that its remonetization
by the same nations will restore It to its
former place?
Lpon this question there is less doubt
than there was four years ago. We have
seen, after the demonetization of 1873, this
metal fall steadily in value, to he revived
only and sustained for a time by the pas
sage of the Bland law in 1878. We ha |
seen it then fall again until the passage
of the Sherman act in 1890, when it rose
almost to its coinage value in -the markets
of the world.
Again, in the summer of 1893, between
the months of May and August, we wit
nessed a sudden depreciation amounting
to 15 per cent, through the act of the In
dian government in excluding silver from
coinage.
Another fall of 15 per cent, occurred
within a few weeks after the passage of
the law which repealed the coinage pro
visions of the Sherman act.
These experiences prove sufficiently that
legislation does unmake the value of a
coinage meta), and as the withdrawal of
the law reduced its value so will the sup
port of the law raise it again to a pooint
where the commercial nations of the world
choose to bold it.
Should the law be withdrawn from gold
it would fluctuate like silver, copper or
wheat, and fall in price just as silver has
done.
For seventy years France substantially
held the ratio of 15% to 1 throughout the
world. This can be done again. In wealth
and population we are stranger now than
was France when she held the ratio.
Yet it was boldly denied during the late
campaign that legislation could affect the
value of coinage metals, and it was even
brazenly insisted that the free coinage of
silver iby this . wealthiest of all nations
would still leave the silver dollar worth
53 cents in bullion.
Indeed, legislation alone gives value to
money, as money is made by governments
and the stamp gives the money value,
whether it is silver, gold or paper. It is
because the nations agree to the conver
sion of metals Into money at a fixed ratio
between them that the price becomes con
clusive upon the world. So, as in the mid
dle of this century, unexpected millions
may be drawn from mines, all convertible
into money, and there is no change in the
relative value of the metals. —Geo. Fred
Williams in Chicago Dispatch.
We regret that a recent article in The
News so riled the editor of the 'Brunswick
Call that he resorted to billingsgate in an
effort to hit back at us. We were out of
the city when the .article in question,
which was a rather severe criticism of
‘Mayor Mason, appeared, and knew nothing
of it until our attention was so rudely
directed to it by the Call. We cannot en
dorse the sentiments expressed therein,
though we accept full responsibility there
for.
Douglas Glessner is trying hard to crawl
back to the right side of the fence. He
throws this ibouquet at Editor 'Howell and
tile Constitution: “Ilf Clark lllowell had
only told us he wanted to celebrate the
thirtieth anniversary of the Constitution
■with the nomination of a governor of his
own, we never would have opposed 1%
candidate. We believe in professional
courtesy.”
The Daj-ien Gazette thinks the sugges
tion that Chatham, Fulton, Richmond and
Bibb counties, which contain populous
cities, shall be made separate and distinct
senatorial districts, unhampered by the
rotation system of selecting senatorial
representatives, is one worthy of careful
consideration.. The big cities should have
senators of their own. They have the pop
ulation.
A resolution wtls adopted by the New
York Chamber of Commerce a few days
ago, looking to the spread of knowledge
abroad regarding the food value of Indian
corn. The mover of the resolution thought
that if we could market abroad one-fourth
of our annual product of the corn the fi
nancial results would be highly gratifying.
The Sparta Ishmealite speaks wisely in
the following: “It was not a good thing
for Georgia when the neighborhood flour
mill became a thing of the past. All
change is not progress. It will be a good
thing when the neighborhood flour mill
comes again and runs on full time.”

LIEUT. COL. REAVES.
A Gallant Ex-Confederate Made Next in
Command to Col. Ray.
Major A. S. Reaves, of Hartsville, Tenn.,
arrived in Macon this morning to join Col
onel Ray’s regiment of immunes, having
received from President McKinley an ap
pointnient as Lieutenant Colonel. He will
begin upon his duties at once.
Colonel Reaves was a gallant Confeder
ate soldier and commanded a brigade in
Stonewall Jackson’s corps. He is > B Ala
bamian by birth, and is well known to a
number of prominent Macon people, among
them Colonel R. I). Locke and Captain R.
E. Park, who served with him daring the
war.
Hie Hartville, (Tenn.) Vidette has 'the
following abou Colonel Reaves’ appoint
ment:
COM MISSION REVETTED.
“Major A. S. Reaves has just received
hi. eomm.ssion as Lieutenant Colonel of
the Third United States ‘lmmune’ regi
ment, and citizens who have long known
Major Reaves can truthfully say that Pres
ident McKinley could not have seley.ei a
more gUirt ex-Confederate soldier for th’s
honor. We have indisputable evidence be
fore us that his chivalrous conduct during
the late war, while commanding the Ja
mons Thirteenth Alabama, of the world
renowned Archer’ls brigade, Stonewall
Jackson’s command, was unexc/ded for
bravery. All who know him will be equal
ly gratified with the distinction here con
ferred to the old soldiers who charged
with Major Reaves at Gettysburg into the
very jaws of death. As in peace he is a
t.oble, upright citizen, so in war he makes
a brave and gallant soldier, always uphold
ing and maintaining his convictions.”

PUMPING OIL FROM THE SEA.
Queer Sight on the California Coast of San
ta Barbara.
The eary settlers in California w t re fa
| maliar with indications of the exist■ -t. e of
j oil which were seen at various points
I along the coast, while asphaltum, which
i oozed up from the beds at the ixumui of
' the sea, formed an important factor in the
household economy of the aborigines and
in almost every burial place on the coasts
asphaltum is found. The natives cu the
islands obtained their supply from the
water, and at the 'present day the rocks
I at various places can be seen splashed
with asphaltum which has drifted in. Tins
is particularly noticeable after an east
wind, showing that there is a large area
in the deep Santa Catalina Channel, from
which asphaltum oozes up.
Oil wells were sunk at Santa Paula some
years ago, and later an oil-producing belt
was discovered at Puente, and again at
Summerland, below Santa Barbara, where
a singular state of affairs exists. It soon
became apparent at the latter locality that
the oil-bearing stratum stretched out into
the sea, and drill scaffolding, looking like
wind-mills without sails, began in a short
time to extend down the little canyon, and
to creep up the shore in the direction of
Santa Barbara. At first they kept along
the sides of the hills (which 'breast the sea
there, but gradually they turned seaward
until one, more adventurous than the rest,
rose from the water.
M ork was started at an extremely low
tide, and finally the tall scaffolding ap
peared twenty or thirty feet from the
shore, rising from the sea. At present
there are three borings, which, even at
low tide, are in the water, but at noon
tide are completely surounded, the men
working on platforms of various heights,
which they sucessively ascend as the sea
rises. The drills are worked in the water
from an engine on the beach, the fuel be
ing the oil pumped up. This is probably
the only place where the oil is pumped out
of the sea. but undoubtedly the entire
coast overlies an over-producing stratum.
Off what is known as Moores wharf, half
a mile out, oil rises to the surface in sev
eral places. A spring of fresh water also
rushes up there with such velochy that
it can .be taken up and used if the slightly
brackish taste is not objected to. A simi
lar spring is known to exist on the Florida
coast.
