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.” row SakiH® POWDER Absolutely Pure Mrs. Myrick considers that “the meanest thing yet said of the Spanish women is the Madrid report that ‘General Weyiei married beneath him.” LIST OF PRIZES To be Given to Paid Ud Sub- I scribers of The News.

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: C. O. Christensen, A. C. Candland, At lanta.
