The Men Want to Come Home.
The New York World asks a pertinent
question. The World wants to know
whether the protest coming in from the
different regiments against being mustered
out conies from the officers or the men.
There is a great deal of. difference. The
World is inclined to believe that the of
ficers are the ones who are willing to go
on garrison duty and serve out their terms
In Cuba or Porto Rico, In the tame camp
life as guards of escorts. The officers have
comparatively an easy time. They draw
good pay, can get off now and then to see
their families, and have a large share of
the glory and prestige of the situation,
whether in peace or war. But the private
soldiers bear the brunt of camp life and
our information Is that they are perfectly
willing to come home and, although they
are not In a position to make themselves
heard over the heads of the officers, they
desire to be mustered out of service as
promptly as possible. This is perfectly
natural and perfectly proper. The private
soldiers are the men who have made the
greatest sacrifice in entering the army.
They are men who work and are the main
stay of their families at home. They stay
in the stores and offices, labor in the shops
and are the backbone of the cities and the
farms. The war is now over. These men
should be allowed to come back. They are
needed tn their homes and in their busi
ness. The Idle ambition of officers to go
somewhere and make a record should not
-weigh an atom with the war department.
The duty of every man, officer and private
now, is at home. There Is no war and no
prospect of any more fighting. The sol
diers who remained long enough in ranks
to see that there was no further need of
their services should be excused. They
are entitled to the thanks of the country
for they stood to the mark as long as nos
tlllties continued. All hands and the cook
are needed back in the peaceful marts <x
trade. It Is just as much their duty to go
to the front four months ago. We trust
the sense of the enlisted men will be taken
and the big army may be disbanded as
soon as jiossible. News from the Georgia
regiments is that the privates generally
desire to come home.
The Augusta Herald says: “The Herald
acknowledges, with great appreciation,
courtesies extended by the Macon Carnival
Association, which will celebrate the dia
mond jubilee of the city in October. It
will be an event in the history of the South
and all this part of the country will be
there.”
The Evening Paper.
The course of the whole war has shown
clearly what the general public were be
ginning to appreciate, and that is, the
value of the evening papers as purveyors
of news in comparison with thler morning
contemporaries.
Hardly an important incident of the war
but has found its way to the public first
through the afternoon papers; says the
Jersey City Journal, and the morning
news, despite the fact that it was rewrit
ten, sometimes under the guise of special
dispatches, has contained little of fresh
Interest from that of the night before.
Since the afternoon papers have had
thought and money expended on them,
they have shown by their success that the
reading public finds more interest In the
news iu the evening, and more opportunity
to read, than does the morning reader.
The evening newspaper too, has a longer
and more far-reaching life. The morning
paper goes from the home to the office.
The evening paper goes from the office to
the home. Discarded papers are almost
always morning editions. Few evening
papers are found lying around loose; and
yet, unless signs fail, the evening papers
tn and around New York probably exceed
in circulation the morning sheets.
Commenting on this subject the Boston
Transcript goes on to say: “The value of
the evening newspaper is not exhausted
when it has given the news of the hour,
or has helped the business man over the
tedium of travel from his office to his
home. Copies are seldom found littering
the seats of steam or electric cars, as It is
taken to the household for perusal by the
whole family. Os course, the evening is
the time when it can be most thoroughly
read and discussed. Moreover, so rapid
has become every medium of intelligence
from world’s end to world’s end that the
evening paper is more favorably circum
stanced than its morning contemporaries
for keeping pace with the genuine news
of each day.
The facilities for extracting the best es
sence of the world’s history for the day,
and the world’s thought upon passing
events, have been brought to such a high
state of development that it Is enabled to
keep even pace with daily events, furnish
ing a brief resume of such morning news
as may have been expanded by other
sheets beyond real value, and keeping the
record clear and unbroken.
When ft takes its readers into its con
fidence it is at a time when the cares and
worries of business have been put aside
for the day. or if not, it helps to put them
aside and enables the reader to keep In
leisurely touch, not only with the current
news, but with art and literature and those
other larger and deeper interests of life
for which busy people have small inclina
tions as they are about to plunge into the
work of the day.
No Georgina were killed during the late
war. But there is one thing—the Geor
gians killed as many Spaniards as the
Spanish did Georgians.
An Opera Bouffe Warrior-
The real opera-bouffe hero of the war is
Don Basilio Augustin y Davila. He was
governor general of the Philippines, and,
hearing that Dewey was on the way io
Manila, he took his trusty pen in hand and
delivered himself of the following procla
mation :
A squadron manned by foreigners, pos
sessing neither Instruction nor discipline,
is preparing to come to this archipelago
with the ruffianly intention of robbing us
of all that means life, honor and liberty.
Pretending to be inspired by a courage of
which they are incapable, the North
American seamen want to take possession
of your riches as if they were unacquaint
ed with the rights of property, and to kid
nap those persons whom they consider use
ful to man their ships or to be exploited
in agricultural or industrial labor.
“Vain designs! Ridiculous boastings!
♦ * * No, they shall not perpetrate any of
the crimes inspired by their wickedness
and covetousness, because your valor and
patriotism will suffice to punish and abuse
them!"
Offenbach’s hero. General Bourn, cannot
come up to General Augustin. The real
article surpasses the stage production.
But, mark the secret to the valiant Don’s
boastings. He was all braggadocio up to
the very moment when Dewey and Merritt
conjointly opened the bombardment. Then,
like Bob Acres, he felt his courage oozing
out of his finger tips. Basilio did not stop
upon the order of his going, but went at
once.
And as he fled in the German warship
one can imagine hearing the profunda
notes of General Bourn Augustin floating
over the bay:
"Oh, stay, my valiant comrades, stay.
And oppose these ‘pigs’ from dawn till
night;
But as for me, I must away-a-w-a-y,
I’U rather run, you know, than fight.”
It is safe to say, says an exchange, that
the American warship which carries the
American commissioners to Havana will
not be blown up.
Decreasing in Stature.
As the size of modern armies is increas
ed the average height of fighting men is
diminished. The Tageblatt, of Berlin,
ascribes the reduction in the average
stature of soldiers in modern armies to
conscription, and says that in the German
army it is only 60.63 Inches. In the British
army the height is 61.96 inches, showing
the tallness of the average Englishman and
Scotchman. Frenchmen and Spaniards are
taken at 1.54 meters, Italian at 1.55 me
ters (61 inches), and the same minimum
measurement is the rule in Austria. The
Russian minimum is 1.54, meters, and in
the United States it is 1.61 meters (63.78
inches).
in 1860, before the beginning of the
American civil war, and 'before the general
arming of Europe, the average height of
men serving iu the various European ar
mies was as follows, given In Inches:
Italian, 65; Spanish, 65.5; Belgian, 66.9;
Russian, 67; English, 67.5; Irish, 68;
Scotch, 68.5; (Norwegian, 69.
Although the average height of soldiers
has decreased during the last few years
considerably in those countries in which
conscription is the rule, it is found gen
erally that in countries in which peaceful
conditions prevail and no great standing
army is maintained, the statre of new sol
diers is gradually increasing. This is
shown conspicuously in the case of Swe
den, where the average height of new sol
diers, between 1840 and 1850, was 66 inches,
66.2 between 1850 and 1860, 66.6 between
1860 and 1870, 66.8 between 1870 and 1880,
and 69 between 1880 and 1890.
The proportion of rejected soldiers in
France has decreased from 37 per cent iu
the decade (beginning IS4O, 35 per cent in
the decade beginning 1860, and 33 per cent
in the decade beginning in 1880, to 30 per
cent at present. The number of conscripts
now rejected on acount of height is less
every year, in consequence, perhaps, of
the fact that the minimum height limit of
the French army has been steadily de
creased.
American soldiers have preserved during
many years the same height substantially
though the fact is well known that soldiers
from the Western and Southwestern states
are, as a rule, taller than those from the
East and from the Southern Atlantic
states.
The Greensboro Herald and Journal, in
closing a very timely article, commenting
on the returns from Green county, says:
“We admit, the rate of taxation in Georgia
is high. It will continue to be so, until
people act honest, when they face the tax
receiver. What we need, is rigid enforce
ment of law’. Let a board of equalizers
be appointed, and where false returns are
made, let the individual ivho made the re
turns, be indicted and prosecuted. By the
method we suggest, really dishonest people
will be punished; and the conscience of
those who do not intend to do w’rong, but
follow the debauching example set by per
haps wealthier neighbors, will be aroused.
Then taxes w ill cease to be a burden to the
poor, and the state will make an honest,
creditable showing to the world.”
It would be a nice thing for those Ala
bama people to make General Joseph
Wheeler's election to Congress a unani
mous affair. General Joe hasn’t had a fair
show’. A job lot of candidates has been
storming his political fences and he
couldn’t strike back. Why? Because the
old hero was busy storming forts, encour
aging his men, braving fever, dodging
Mauser bullets in Cuba. The people of
Alabama, of all parties, have an oppor
tunity to pay a compliment to a brave
man.
La Lucha. the most rabid anti-American
paper in Havana, which has abused us
more than all other Spanish papers com
bined, is trying very hard to get out of
the wet. In a recent editorial Da Lucha
proceeds to get solid with the "Yankee
pig” by saying that "sons of Spain will
hoist the starry banner of the United
States of America, the motherland of
Washington and Dincoin.” How nice.
Os course the people of this country en
joyed the spectacle of a blushing woman
kissing Hobson and the embrace of Gen
erals Dee and Wheeler, but wait for the
Roosevelt-Alger kissing match. There’ll
be a show with three rings and fireworks,
and the audience will enjoy the sport.
Alluding to General Shafter’s return the
Sparta Ishmaelite observes that “Pecos
Bill.” the military genius whom Alger dis
covered. has gone to Montauk point, where
it is supposed that the very necessary .work
of rubbing him down can be done by ma
chinery.
It was left for Admiral Dewey to put the
finishing touches on the war, and (as the
English admiral, Holcomb, said, when
•Montojo's fleet was sunk), he "did it tn a
thoroughly business-like way.”
The Moultrie Observer makes this com
ment on teh perseverance of human na
ture: ‘‘Moultrie has six soda founts and
seven saloons and yet you can oecasionally
see a man going to the artesian well.”
"New Orleans draws a long breath of
relief,” says the Augusta Chronicle. “Two
Immune regiments have departed—one for
Santiago and the other for Texas.”
In summing up the results of the war
Editor Triplett, of Thomasville, is glad io
note that "the German admiral kept out
of the range of Dewey’s fire.”

MORMONS IN GEORGIA.
They Have Organized for the Work of
Making Converts.
Douglassville, Ga., August 23 —TV Mor
mon elders are quite active in their pro
paganda hereabout. They recently organ
ized what they term their Georgia confer
ence, comprising a band of thirty-six el
ders, chosen from their surrounding con
ferences. This conference, which was or
ganized last March, held its first annual
meeting recently at Union, Campbell
county.
These elders are mostly young men
whose homes are in Utah, Idaho, Colorado,
Arizona and Mexico. They have thirteen
such conferences in the Southern states.
The others have been organized for years.
These conferences comprise what they call
the Southern States’ 'Mission, which has a
president, Elder Ben E. Rich, whose office
is at Chattanooga, Tenn. They have about
500 elders traveling in the South. These
men are appointed to their labors on this
wise: Previous to an elder coming here he
receives a letter of Inquiry from the pres
idency of his church If he will accept a
mission; which means if he will leave
home and go into some part of the world
without a salary for about two years, or
until his presiding elder releases him.
This call may be answered either in the
affirmative or negative. Then he is as
signed to his field of labor. They gener
ally go in companies to their different
missions.
Between fifteen and thirty elders arrive
in the South each month, while the same
number return home. These men travel
two by two, going from house to house
visiting the people, conversing with them
and leaving a small tract or pamphlet
treating upon their faith. They go over a
county systematically, holding services in
each neighborhood they visit.
Elder C. O. Christensen, who is the pres
ident of the Georgia conference, is now
laboring among the elders, visiting each
pair, giving such advice and instruction
as become necessary. He is assisted by the
following men, who are assigned to the
counties noted until such time as a thor
ough canvass is made:

That we do the highest class Bind

pete with any establistment in the

depend upon patriotism for pat

right sort of work at the right
price, go elsewhere.
But we do think it, or any other
home enterprise, is entitled to a
showing— a. chance to bidon your
work.
We have added to our plant a

book from a 3,000 page ledger to a
pocket memorandum; or from the
handsomest library volume to a
paper back pamphlet.

Is a feature to which we give spe
cial attention. Old books, maga
zines, anything that needs rebind
ing turned out in best style for
least money
Skilled men in charge. Modern
methods used. When nqxt you
