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 The amount withdrawn from consump tion, which is that on which the tux is paid, was ’.i7.500.000 gallons in 1993 and in 1897 less than 6!*,000,000, the average for the last four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.” The best buyers are the wage earners— the working people.

POWDER Absolutely Pure 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.” TO ARRANGE PROGRAM Library Directors Will Meet This Afternoon at 5 O'clock, The Public Library directors will meet this afternoon at 5 o’clock in the library parlors io arrange the program for the Fourth of July celebration.

Mauw. fibs 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. Summer Resorts. THE ELKTON. ELKTON, VA. Open June Ist. On N. W. and C. W. R. R. Modern in all its appointments.
