Offices: Corner Second and Cherry Streets: CHfIJUBEH OF commERCE Endorses the Anniversary and Carnival Edition of The News. Mr. Morrison Kogers, presi dent of the Chamber of Com merce, writes to the News as lows: The Newe Publishing Company Genth men: 1 desire to add my cordial endorsement of your proposed Carnival edition of News, in which you propose to present in proper form the many advantages which enti tle Macon to consideration. Such an advertisement of out city cannot fail to do good, I ami deserves the eneourage- ' inent and support of every cit- izen. it will be a fitting pre face to the Grand Diamond Jubilee Carnival and will sound the rally for this most i signal event in our history. Speaking for myself, and voic , Ing, 1 believe, the Chamber of Commerce, 1 wish you abund ant success in your laudable undertaking. R. M. ROGERS, Pres. Chamber of Commerce. The Financial Situation and the Market. “There has been a good head somewhere, In the management of affairs at Washing ton, to which the country and people are indebted for the great success of our arms and for the almost certainty of an early cessation of hostilities and a declaration of lienee.” This is the opinion of the well known banking house of Hambleton & Co., of Baltimore. They go on to say: Considering what has been accomplished ami the splendid position of the country, incident to the magnitieent results of the war. it is simply disgraceful that criticisms should be had of the few mistakes made, ilt is easy for those at home, surrounded by comforts and luxuries, to criticise, for In stance, General Shafter because his army deficient in artilery and because the commissary department was slow in get ting provisions to the front. No doubt mistakes were made in the Santiago cam paign, as was natural to an army of inex perienced leaders and men, but how insig nillcent were such mistakese In comparison with the great results accomplished—the driving of t’ervera’s squadron out of San tiago harbor, to be met and destroyed by out ships, and the surrender of the whole province of Santiago with 25,000 prisoners. It is disgusting to hear how much better the “stay-at-homes’’ could have done if the government had intrusted such a "soft •snap” to their experienced care. We believe the one thing above all others ■which broke the haughty pride and spirit of Spain, was our unprecedented treatment of the captured soldiers and sailors of the Spanish army and navy. The Spanish people had been taught to regard us as bloodthirsty and revengeful. bo that when our sailors risked their own .lives to save those of the wounded and drowning sailors of Cervera’s fleet, when the Spanish Admiral was received on the lowa by a marine guard and an admiral’s ealute and when the 25,000 prisoners eap tured at Santiago were not only fed and clothed by our soldiers but were to be sent home with their wives and families at the expense of the United Statese, such gener osity and humanity touched the hearts of the Spanish people, their whole cause fell to pieces and they simply could not fight any longer. Hence came the request for a termina tion of the war and a settlement of peace. Not that Spain was not whipped and con quered. for she never had the slightest chance, but when we showed by our actions that we were fighting for a principal and were without resentment to the Spanish people, their spirit was broken and they gave it up. The terms of peace as announced by the ■president should be acceptable to both na tions. They are such that Spain can accept with honor and the United States with credit. Cuba and Porto Rico were admit tedly lost to Spain, and the Philippines would be. indeed, a white elephant on our hands The greatest and most disturbing problem now is our responsibility to main tain peace and order in Cuba and the Phil ipines. And. here again, what a debt of gratitude the people of the United States owe to President McKinley for his firm stand against the recognition of the so called Cuban republic. If the jingoes had had their way Cuba would have been rec ognized. and what a mess we would have been in. Unquestionably we will be oblig ed to occupy Cuba with a military force for many a day, and it is more than doubt ful whether the Cubans ever can form a safe and stable government. Young Prince Bismarck said to the Kaiser: "It’s none of your funeral,” and the war between the Hohenzollerns and th family of the Iron Chancellor goes mer rily on. Old Hulls for Transports. Probably the United States is the only fiast-elass power that never had transport wbips. She has none today worthy of the name. She has a lot of second-hand, third rate ocean tramps and a few good mer chant ships which have been made into transports. However, England, Germany or even Spain herself would have made a better showing. Take the Catania, for instance. She was a good example of the ocean tramp. Avars ago she was a shoreship of The Hamberg-American line. That was when a twelve and fifteen day voyage across the Atlantic seemed swift. Then she got into the South American trade, and one unlucky day, some three of four years ago, she foundered or was sunk. She rested easily for two years and a half on the bottom of the Atlantic, and was then raised and fitted for the Klon dike trade. She was too late in getting ready, and finally was turned over to the government with a first-class captain but h short crew. She carried 1.200 men, including the Washington, (D. C.) First Regiment, and according to an authentic account, she had two small boats so defective that when landing at Siboney neither could be used because they were leaky and rotten. She had lour life preservers. On t;e way from Tampa to Key West her pumps refused to work. She laid up for repairs there twenty-four hours. Her engines broke down three times, once off Cape Maisi in half a gale of wind, and she lay three hours in a floundering sea. and escaped through a good fortune that seemed almost miraculous. Her condensers would not work at times, and if any trouble bad come necessitating an anchorage, she nad but one anchor instead of three to hoid her. Her steam steering gear was useless, and she was steered by hand and yawed about like a blind hog. Her auxiliary .-leering wheel at the stern had rotted loose and the steam capstan was so much out of or der that it could not be worked even by hand. This was a ship that some blooming government inspector allowed to go to sea with 1,200 helpless uouls aboard, who reached their destination because probably a kindly Providence watched over them There were other Catanias in the fleet, anj some ships like the Concho and Seneca, which have sailde into public notice. War or battle in itself is bad enough, and those who engage in it are entitled to the best and completed appliances for pre serving life and health. The Spanish officer’s lot is not a happy one. If he escapes death on sea or land he has to face a courtmartial when he reaches home. Move the Troops. Dr. T. C. 'Minor, of Cincinnati, writes editorially in the Lancet Clinic, Saturday, /August 6: “-In June we predicted what would occur to the army which would in vade Cuba during the yellow fever season. We invoked the statistics of the Spanish surgeon general. Not a leading sanitary authority would have advised the landing of the troops before the middle of October. “'State dioards of Health, North, South, East and West, have kept silent for two reasons. “First, because any protest of sanita rians would have caused an outcry from the public press that medical men lacked 'patriotism; second, because yellow jour nalism was too influential in urging the cry of ‘On to Cuba.’ “The doctors in the field today have been the most overworked class of men, their opinions snubbed right and left. They have met with bitter opposition and sneers from leading newspapers. “The army of Cuban occupation is down with yellow fever. The fraudulent im mune regiments, gathered by politicians searching for commissions, will increase the army surgeon’s woes. “Not one of five of so-called immunes has ever had yellow fever or smallpox, and medical men the country over support this declaration. “Typhoid fever increases daily. Car load after car load of the best fighting men ever created are landed near our large cities to the detriment of whole commu nities of women and children. If the pres ent state of 'mismanagement continues the East, South and West will be ifilled with a thousand foci of contagion from typhoid and yellow fever before October.” Dr. Minor sugests the following reme dies: “We suggest that Drs. George Sternberg and iLenn, and a board of other equally high medical authorities be called to enact methods to stamp out the disease, and they ‘be given power above the generals to regulate the contact between the refu gees and the soldiers, and the use of army wagons for hauling the same “Move the troops from Florida at once, or there will be an epidemic of yellow jack. “The government must tell the truth to local health departments and compel them to enforce the same measures as if an epidemic were at their doors, for the gov ernment has a typhoid epidemic on its hands and does not know it. “Ik) not send Shafter's army to Man tauk. It means typhoid, and perhaps worse, for New York. “Disperse regiments to separate healthy camping grounds, where there is pure afr and water. “Every doctor of the United States is with us in these views." About the only thing Spain can take is time and she is taking it at every stage of the proceedings. Gross Negligence. The floodgates of journalistic criticism are beginning to open. The campaign in retrospect, so far as the victories are con cerned, is all right. In the hundred days of fighting 'American valor has delivered swift and decisive blows. But from every camp there now come rumors of lack of food and insufficient hospital provisions. Distinguished officers of the United States army have had recourse to the round robin in order to stir those in au thority into needed action. There can be no denial of the fact that in operations around Santiago, so far as the care of our soldiers was concerned, gross dereliction was painfully manifest. The commissary arrangements were woe fully inadequate. Soldiers suffered when there was no necessity for suffering. The men who fought so gallantly in Saturday’s siege did not expect to sleep in feather beds nor to dine in state. ■But they did expect wholesmoe rations, necessary clothing and tents for shelter. Napoleon said that “an army moves on its stomach.” ■Coupling this phrase of the great Corsican with the advance of our army from Baiquiri and Siboney to San tiago. one must conclude that it ws all But they did expect wholesome rations. There should be a committee appointed to investigate the conduct of the war. The necessity for such action is apparent. Some reputations may be hurt, but that cannot be helped. That round robin is destined to ruffle the eagle’s feathers to the point even of a courtmartial. Elections in the South. Louisiana is the third and last of the southern states having a predominance of colored voters to adopt such changes in the state constitution as radically restrict the suffrage. Along with the adoption of the new constitutions in South Carolina. Mis sissippi. and Louisiana successively there has been a gradual extension of the time between elections in these states and in southern states generally the opinion of southern .leaders of both parties apparently being that the too frequent recurrence of elections for state and legislative officers is not a good thing and that better results can be obtained by fewer elections. Under the new Louisiana constitution members of the legislature are chosen for four years and the term of all state of ficers is four years, too, there being no election in Louisiana until 1900. South Carolina formerly elected a governor every two years and members of the legislature every year. Now senators serve for four years and representatives for two and the term of all state officers is two years. Mississippi elects a governor for four years and members of the legislature for four years. State officers in Mississippi are elected for four years except the chief justice, who has a term of nine years. As a consequence if it were not for the re currence of congress elections the voters of Mississippi would vote only once in four years, as is the case in presidential elec tions. In Missouri formerly the term of gov ernor was two years, but is now four, and state officers in Missouri are elected for four years, the term of state senators being four years also. The next state election in Missouri will be on November 6, 1900, the same day as the presidential election. Virginia is still another southern state in which the infrequency of elections is thought to be a good thing. The term of the governor of Virginia is four years and the attorney general and lieutenant gov ernor have a like term. Virginia elects state senators for four years and adopts, too, the plan of holding its state election in the year succeeding the presidential election. The next state election in Vir ginia will be on December 1, 1901, and the contention is made that good results have already attended this plan of state elec tions onee in four years and of state of- PRI &AKIHO POWDER Absolutely Pure fleers and legislators chosen for long terms. North Carolina is another southern state which adopts the same plan of in frequent elections for state officers, al though it elects members of the legislature in alternate years. The term of the gov ernor and of the state officers in North Carolina is four years. The chief justice of the supreme court is elected for six. in Kentucky a four years term for gov ernor and state officers is the rule and in West Virginia, in which formerly the term of governor was three years, the governor and all the state officers are now elected for four. There will be no state election in West Virginia until the year of the next presidential election. Four years is the term of governor and state officers in Florida and in the south generally four year terms have become the rule. There are no annual elections in any state of the south and there are annaul sessions of the legislature in but two states only, the states of Georgia and South Carolina. The Savannah Press: “The victory of Mr. John Roach Straton in the oratorical contest for the championship of the South, held at Monteagle, Tenn., a short time ago, is peculiarly gratifying to Geor gians.” The Charleston News and Courier con tends that the best troops for service in Cuba are those who have already passed safely through an attack of yellow fever there. There are several thousand such immunes. "Tell me,” Aguinaldo is reported to have written to the United States Consul Gen eral Wildman, “am 1 fighting for annexa tion, protection or independence?” The Sparta Ismealite declares that “Sampson won more contempt and prize money out of the war than any other participant in it.” * gusto is imitating Cologne—“the city of a are almost as bad as the Spaniards in hold ing on to a poor ‘thing.” The Evening Herald contends that Ai|.- Editor Lewis contends that the Populists thousand smells.” If the dove drops the branch before light ing the fault is all with Spain. That Russo-British war cloud is neither lowering nor blackening.

On the evening of November, 28th, 1878, a fiYe broke out in the British ship Melanie, loaded with 500 barrels of petroleum. An awful mass of flames shot up from the main hatch and the vessel quivered from stem to stern with explosion of the barrels. Her seams opened and the blazing petroleum poured out into the river, spreading a belt of fire around her. The master and seamen jumped overboard. Captain Sharp, whose vessel was lying close-by, propelled a small boat through the blazing river and after a severe scorching and imminent peril, saved the seamen from a horrible death. All over civilization there are thousands of men in more imminent danger than were those seamen. They are threatened -with consumption or are alreadv in the clutch of that deadly disease.
