A Disgrace to the Nation.
If half that has been published about
Camp (’hickam.iuga be true that portion
of the United States army now encamped
there is a disgrace to the nation, and it is
an affront to Georgia for the United States
government to dump such hoodlums ou
Georgia soil.
If the charges are not true, then there
should Ito a full explanation and retrac
tion, for probably no army ever stood
charged with so many flagrant, vulgar and
indecent offenses against society.
Yesterday’s Constitution, for instance,
contains a story from a staff correspondent
giving incidents which go to show that
Cripple Creek in its palmiest days might
he com idereil a Chautauqua gathering com
pared with Chieainauga.
The Constitution's correspondent re
lates how an entire company was out drill
ing, a few days ago, with every soldier
stark naked. The men were all half
drunk, it is said, and the hot weather, com
bined with the whisky, caused them to
make This unusual drill. Unfortunately
several ladies were compelled to witness
the brutal performance of the undraped
warriors, says the Constitution. This un
seemly conduct was not even punished, and
it was said that it was not reported to
headquarters.
At another time, so it is said, several
hundred of the troops captured a negro wo
man, and after compelling her to undress,
drilled her up and down the midway, while
the soldiers looked on and reviewed the
undress parade. This startling occurrence
lhas been eclipsed several times by orgies
too revolting to be mentioned. The offi
cers, it is alleged, are certainly to a great
extent to blame for the conduct of the
men, but it is not entirely their fault.
Some of the officers try to keep order, but
wiih a lot of young hoodlums <it is impos
sible to maintain peace, says the corres
pondent.
it would be Impossible to give in detail
an account of the ho• riffle outrages that
are being perpetrated against decency here,
further says the correspondent. Some of
the troops have no sense of self respect,
and their respect for their officers has been
deadened by the laxity of the rules around
camp.
These would be serious charges against
the management and morals of a convict
camp, and would immediately call for an
investigation anil a remedy, should such a
state of affairs be discovered in any camp
■in this state. It is almost impossible to
believe, therefore, that soldiers defending
the honor of their country could so far for
get themselves and the cause for which
they have enlisted as to become hoodlums
and bums of the most miserable character.
It is to be hoped that the situation is ex
aggerated. If not, the whole crowd should
■be court mart ialed and shot for conduct un
becoming an American hog.
Thu Atlanta Journal pays Congressman
Bartlett this deserved compliment:
••Congressman Bartlett received yester
day a high and deserved tribute to his
fidelity and efficiency as the representative
of the Sixth Georgia district in a unani
mous nomination for another term. He
has been watchful of the interests of his
district and has triven close attention 'to
all his duties at Washington. Mr. Bart-
Jett’s record in congress is such as tn make
him very strong in his district, and we are
not surprised that the Democrats of that
district have unanimously called upon him
to serve them «galn.”
Germany’s Attitude,
The intimation comes from German
sources that if Americans do not begin to
accept everything that Kaiser Bill says as
gospel truth, the latter may yet decide to
have the game as well as the name; may
in fact, take a hand in the Phillipioes, in
stead of >;>ai: taining ueutrali y origi
nally declared.
Numerous stories have been sent out
declaring that Germany was preparing to
take an active part in the settlement of the
(Phillipines question, but these stories, set
afloat from European centers, have been
vigorously denied, both from Washington
and Berlin.
The presence of German warships at Ma
nila doubtless furnished the prime basis for
these reports. It is insisted by the Berlin
papers that these ships are there only for
surveillance of German interests and not
to prevent the landing of American troops.
Our state department likewise gives out
the statement rhat it has been officiary
advised that the reports that Germany
would make an issue in the Phillipines is
unfounded.
In discussing the German Empire’s at
titude a th? matter an exchange correctly
asserts that Emperor William is an erratic
sort of ruler, with the reputation of doing
surprising things, but it is not probable
that he will attempt to tread upon the
toes of Uncle Sam. especially while Hng
land :s standing ready to aid this country.
No doubt he would vigorously object to any
other European power acquiring the Phil
lipines and thus securing an advantage
over Germany in Asiatic waters, but he
could find no justifiable ground for Ger
man interference as matters stand at the
present.
At any rate the United tSates does not
care a snap whether Emperor William is
pleased or displeased with the situation in
the Phillipini s. Admiral Dewey will see
to it that German interests are accorded
equal protection with those of other for
eign nations, but beyond that no favors
will be shown Germany. However, there
is good reason to believe that the German
government has no intention of meddling
with our affairs in the .Phillipines, and cer
tainly not without the co-operation of the
European powers, which is rendered im
possible at this time by the existing jeal
ousies among them.
The New York Journal of Commerce says
the revolution in Cuba has reduced our
trade with the island $69,000,000 a year.

Keep Everlastingly At It.
If you wish to win success you must be
persistent. It is a distinguishing trait of
alt who have honestly won success. Per
sistency in advertising makes the success
ful merchant. The spasmodic advertiser
rarely wins success. Constancy of pur
pose and persistency of effort rarely ever
fail. Some merchants do not know how
to present their business to the public,
others are indifferent and careless about
doing so. For the first there is some hope,
but failure is sure to come to the second,
for there is no record in commercial
history where the careless and indifferent
busines man has ever won success.
The shrewd man wants as much for his
money as possiole, whether it is goods or
circulation that he buys. Some merchants
are satisfied with their advertisements be
ing in any kind of newspaper; others are
more particular and place their cards
where 'they know the majority of people
will see them.
Lincoln's Modest Request.
While sons of former or present great
men are being given military commissions
and placed in positions where the duties
are nominal and the honororum substan
tial, the following modest letter, written
General Grant by President Lincoln, will
be read with especial interest:
Executive Mansion, Wasnlngton, Jan.
18, 1865. —'Lieutenant General Grant: Please
read and answer this letter as though I
were not president, but only a friend. My
son, now in his 22d year, having graduated
at Harvard, wishes to see something of
the war before it ends. I do not wish to
put him in the ranks, nor yet to give him
a commission, to which those who have al
ready served long are better qualified to
hold. Could he, without embarrassment to
you, or detriment to the service, go into
your military family with some nominal
rank, I and not the public, furnishing his
necessary means? If not, say so without
the least hesitation, because I am anxious
and as deeply interested that you shall
not be encumbered as you are yourself.
Yours truly, A. Lincoln.
Like Hobson at School.
The following from a Macon gentleman
to the New York Herald is of general in
terest:
To the Editor of the Herald —
It is stated in your issue of the 12th in
the correspondence from Green sooro, Ala.,
referring to Lieutenant Hobson —“He is
the only Southern hoy since the war who
has been graduated at the head of his class
at Annapolis.” This, I think, is a mistake,
and if I am not in error two Georgia boys
have been graduated from there with the
highest honors —Alban Hodgson, of Athens,
Ga., in the seventies, and iDußose, o.f Spar
ta, Ga.. class of ’97. Hodgson, I believe,
attained the highest mark ever reached at
the naval academy.
Let Congress prepare to build the Nica
raguan Canal and a navy surpassing the
finest in the world ami there will be other
Deweys and Hobsons when we n?el them.
Hugh Vernon Washington.
Macon, Ga., June 15, 1898.
Elsewhere in today’s News is a card from
Judge Gober answering the charges made
against him by Judge Fish. The News has
no interest in either of these candidates,
but it is obliged to admit that Judge Go
ber effectually disposes of the charges
made against him.
The scene of active warfare is likely to
shift pretty soon. There are already five
avowed candidates for governor in South
Carolina, all elaming to be iDemocrats, and
at leas't as many more waiting and want
ing to be.
The estimated revenue that will be pro
duced by the new tariff is placed at $284,
000,000 annually. This, when reduced down
to the individual cost of freeing the Cu

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
The United States Enjoys a Large Share of
Their Commerce.
New York, June 20 —The Hawaiian is
lands their commerce, finance, production
and population from the subject of a series
of taibles which will appear in the next
number of the "Summary of Finance and
Commerce,” issued by the bureau of sta
tistics, says the Washington correspond
ent of the Tribune. From these it appears
that the United States since the recipro
city treaty of 1876, has had a large share
of the commerce of these islands. Prior
to 1876 the annual sales of the United
States to the Hawaiian islands had never,
save in two exceptional cases, reached
$1,000,000. With 1877, however, the 1,000,-
000 line was permanently passed, and since
that date American exports to the islands
have steadily grown, passing the $2,000,000
line in 1879, exceeding $3,000,000 in 1883,
$4,000,000 in 1890. Passing the $5,000,000
line in 1891, and promising to reach nearly
$6,000,000 this year
Os the total imports by the Hawaiian in
1875 a little over one-third iwas from-the
United States, iln 1876 the reciprocity
treaty went into operation, and in 1877 the
United States one-half of the imports into
Hawaiian islands, which then amounted
to $2,500,000. By 1880 the imports had in
creased to over $3,500,000 of which over
$2,000,000 worth came from the United
'Slates. In 1881 they were over $4,500,000,
of which more than $3,000,000 were from
the United States; in 1890, $6,962,000, of
which $4,711,000 come from the United
States, and in 1896, $6,063,000, of which
about $4,000,000 came from the United
States.
Os the exports from the Hawaiian is
lands the United States has also had the
lions share since the reciprocity treaty of
IS7G. In 1875 only about 57 per cent of
the exports from the Hawaiian islands
came to the United States. In 1877, the
year following the treaty over 90 per cent
came to the United States, and has since
continued in about the same proportion.
Os the $200,(TOO,000 worth of exports from
the Hawaiian islands since the reciprocity
treaty of 1876 more than $180,000,000 worth
have come to the United States, and of the
$100,000,000 worth of imports into the Ha
waiian islands during that time about
$70,000,000 worth were from the United
States.
Sugar, of course appears as the chief
article of exportation from the islands,
though rice has been for years an item of
considerable value, and of late coffee, pine
apples and bananas have taken important
rank in the exportations of the islands. Os
the $15,500,000 worth of exports in 1896,
almost $15,000,000 worth was sugar, though
in addition to this there were exported
over 5,000,000 pounds of rice, 225,00,])
pounds of coffee, 126,000 bunches of ba
nanas and 147,000 pineapples. The in
crease in sugar and coffee has been rapidly
in the last few years, coffee increasing
from 5,300,000 pounds in 1887 to 22,255,000
pounds in 1896, and sugar from 212,000,000
pounds in 1887 to 443,000,000 pounds in
1896. The tendency in the last twenty
years has apparently (been to a reduction
in the number of articles produced. In
1876 the list of exported articles included,
besides sugar and rice, wool, tallow, mo
lasses, peanuts, hides, 'goat skins, sheep
skins, whale oil, whalebone, ivory, salt,
sperm oil and many other articles, but now
sugar, rice, coffee, bananas and pineap
ples are the chief exports, though the total
value in 1896 was six times that of 1876,
when the articles were much more numer
ous.
The imports as above indicated are
mostly from the United States, those of
1876 being divided among the great na
tions as follows:
The United States. $5,464,000; Great
Britain. $755,000; China, $299,000; Japan,
$276,000; Germany, $148,000; Australia,
$114,000.
The largest items in the list of imports
are groceries and provisions, $520,885; ma
chinery, $343,105; fertilizers, $332; Cotton
goods, $311,891; clothing, $292,559; hard
ware and agricultuarl implements, $278,-
267; grain and feed, $273,753; lumber,
$255,242; tobacco, $194,836; flour, $196,000;
building materials, $102,639, and besides
these, scores of articles ranging in value
from SIOO,OOO to downward.
The population at the latest census was
in round numbers, 109.000, of which 31,000
were Mawaiians, 24,000 Japanese, 24,000
Chinese, 15.000 'Portuguese, 5,200 Amer
icans, 2,250 British, and 1,430 Germans.
The receipts of the government are about
$2,000,000 annually of which about one
third is gathered by tariff taxes, one-third
by internal taxation and bne’-third from
miscellaneous sources, the expenditures
being slightly less than the receipts.
The commerce of the United States with
the islands extends over more than half
a century one of the tables which will be
presented showing imports from them as
early as J 826 and exports to them as early
as 1837. though the latter seem to have
been only occasional prior to 1853 when
they amounted to $4,406, and by 1863 had
increased to $548,730. In 1873 they were
$672,191. passing the $1,000,000 line in 1877
after the enactment of the reciprocity
treaty: while the imports from the islands
will this year be the highest on record,
despite the general reduction of imports
from other parts of the world, the total
for the year being likely to exceed $15,000,-
000 against $13,687,000 last year and sll,-
757,000 in the preceding year.
