A Sensible View.
The Washington Post has an editorial
on this subject, which we endorse fully.
It is as follows
"We wish to say that we are in the full
sympathy with those volunteers, who
now. the war being over and the Question
of defending the country and the flag
being retired, ask for the privilege of
electing to remain in the army or return
to private lite. They are clearly entitled
'to this right of choice—not legally, per
haps. but morally without doubt. They
volunteered it the country's call, accept
ing every condition ot the bond, and of
course 'they cannot demand as a peroga
'tive 'the option of receding. But the fact
remains that, thousands of them abandoned
remunerative civic occupations and excel
lent business opportunities under the
stimulus of unselfish patriotism, and It is
not to be denied that they are entitled to
special consideration on that account.
"it is difficult to perceive the force of
the argument, that since the country
needs a larger standing army, these par
ticular men should be held to their con
tract for a term of years. The real Ques
tion is whether the required force can
not be recruited without calling upon in
lividuals who have more pressing claims
upon them and whose places can be quite
as satisfactorily filled by others. A large
proportion of these volunteers are so situ
ated. from a domestic and commercial
point of view that their retention in the
military service will operate a serious
sacrifice and hardship. They are not the
material of which regular soldiers are
made. They possess qualifications and are
burdened with duties which call them to
a different and higher sphere. And. quite
as inijh>riant, they are in a position where
enforced service tn the army will reduce
them to discontent, if not despair.
If the country were poor tn military
material the question would take on a
very different color The truth Is, how
ever. that we can readily recruit an army
of 100,000 or 200,000 men withou drawing
upon classes that have a more useful and
more profitable alternative. It seems to
us that the government can well afford to
leave the volunteers free to speak for
themeelves tn this matter. It will be bet
ter for the army and better for the na
tion.”
An Unsavorv Contrast.
The evidences of dereliction, stupidity
and criminal negligence in the conduct of
the Santiago campaign, so far as pertains
to the commissary and medical depart
ments and the general health and well
being of the men. are multiplying on
every hand
Indignation has found a tongue. Reti
cent is replaced by revelation. The dis
closures are snocklng.
Even though the exalted heads of cabi
net officials may drop into the basket, the
ruth, the whole truth, must and shall oub.
Contrast the brutal neglect displayed on
eitry hand with regard to our own
soldiers with the care, attention and
solicitude exhibited toward the Spanish
prisoners now at Seavey's jsland, near
rorumouth N. H
The sentiment of magnanimity is all
right tn its way, but it does not go far
enough
Our sacred obligation is 'to take care of
our own sick, wounded and debilieted.
Tills 'ountry is grand enough, richenough,
humane enough to take care of our owe
brave boys, as well as the men they van
quished.
The derelicts must be ferreted out. even
thougn ■■■<? search shall lead into the cabl
n i chamber of President McKinley
Bibb County Taxes.
No xruuty in Georgia can make a more
lamentable showing in the matter of tax
returns than can Bibb county. It Is. of
course no fault on the part of the tax re
ceiver Capt. R j. Anderson, who is one
of the b st men ln Georgia, as well as
beig a mos: efficient official. The .trouble
» with the laws and with the people
Themselvus The chances ar e that the
county commissioners of Bibb county will
e obliged to name a higher rate for the
coming year a course necessity, so far as
they are concerned, which wll mitigate
*orely against this city where the taxes
are already too high. The oooner some
k? elation is enacted that will relieve the
honest taxpayer from the burden put upon
him by the dishonest property owner the
better for Bibb. It now looks as if this
«™ty 1S destined to have another eej
bacK on account of high taxes. Innumer
able cases might be cited from the tax
books to show the utter futility and poor
business sense of allowing property own
ers to put their own valuation on prop
erty. and the loss resulting from the neg
ligence of the law in enforcing the col
leolioa ot Just taxes on personal property.
ißuild a New Bridge.,
When a city can build nothing etee it j
can build a bridge. The law gives any
old corporation with any credit at all i
the opportunity to build a bridge when it i
Is necessary. The people of East Macon
are of the opinion that new bridge is !
necessary at the foot of Fifth street and
a vest majority of the people on thia aide |
of the river agree with them The city i
should build a new superstructure on the 1
old bridge and it must do It without
delay. The business men of East Macon
have presented the matter to -council over
and over again and a little more than a .
year ago the city engineer said that he
had made an inspection and that the I
bridge would only last a year. It is now 1
more than a year since that expert judg
men was passed and the bridge is now .
pronounced unsafe
Traffic has teen stopped and’he business ■
interests of the people of East Macon are
suffering
It is not a matterof surprises that our 1
friends on the other aide of the river are I
angry. They have good cause for it and I
the only reparation that council can make j
is to build the new bridge. Other items j
of expense which are of lee® importance i
can be allowed to stand while the property I
and business interests of East Macoa, at j
well as the comfort and accommodation |
of her citizens are being given the atten
tion they properly demand.
The Cost ot the War.
Now that the war is over some persons
would like to know how many bullets were
fired during the conflict, but since that
cannot be ascertained, it is striking
enough to consider that 277,000 men, now
composing the army of the United States,
carry in their cartridge belts more than
27,000,000 rifle balls. At all events they
would carry that many if all of them were
armed with the new magazine rifle com
monly known as the Krag-Jorgensen. 100
cartridges being allowed to each man.
Before long all of Uncle Sam’s soldiers
will be provided with this weapon, instead
of the “archaic" Springfield.
Thus equipped, the 277,000 men now en
listed, would carry 32.372 tons of bullets
at their waists, and this makes reckoning
of only the leaden balls and not of the
cartridges containing them. Each of the
cartridges is a bit over three inches long,
and If all of those contained in the belts
of the soldiers were placed end to end
they would stretch 1,366 miles. Just think
of the destructive power represented by
that line of cartridges.
The barrel of one of these regulation
rules Is 30 inches long. If all of them —
the 277,000 —were placed end to end, so as
to make a continuous tube, the latter
would extend 131 miles, or just about the
distance from Washington to Philadelphia.
Each soldier’s uniform, with cape over
coat. requires Id 14 square yards of mate
rial. Hence it appears that the cloth used
for making war costumes for the 277.000
men in the army, if spread out, would
cover just about 644 acres, or a little over
a square mile. At $18.65 a suit an outfit
of uniforms for all the troops of the United
States costs the government $5,166,050,
enough to build, furnish and arm the big
gest and finest kind of battleship, such as
the Oregon.
Most of the volunteers In the war have
received only one blanket apiece from Un
cle Bam. though the usual allowance Is
two. These blankets are of exceptionally
fine materia) costing $3.33 apiece. To
provide every man in the army with one
means an expense of $922,410, and these
277,000 blankets would cover 244 acres of
ground. They are seven feet long by live
and one-half feet wide, and It is agreed by
■both officers and men in the service that
better poker can be played on them than
on any other kind of a cloth.
To make an army shirt of flannel re
quires three square yards of stuff, and the
government pays $ 1.95 for the finished gar
ment. Thus it is easily calculated that
such shirts for all the troops would come
to a total of $540,000, and the material for
them would spread over 172 acres. More
interesting Is the fact that 34,625 calves
would be required to furnish leather for
the shoes of al! the regiments. The rub
ber cloaks for the army, called "ponchos”
would cost $390,670, and would cover 143
acres
Each two soldiers have a tent (between
them, one carrying the right half and the
other the left half. Such a tent costs $3.97
complete, with the jointed pole, etc., the
total expense of sheltering the entire
army under canvas being $549,845. Spread
out the canvas needed and it would cover
272 acres, each half tent having 4% yards
of material
An ordinary canteen holds two quarts.
With all these receptacles filled, the pres
ent army of 277,000 men carries 3.644
hogshead of water This, in fact, is about
equivalent to the dally requirement of
water for the troops. The quantity would
last one man more than 760 years. Each
man has a tin cup that holds a pint and a
half. If all of them were filled thej’ would
contain 2.733 hogsheads. >But soldiers are
thirsty people and their belt capacity is
wonderful. Forty-nine inches long, by the
way, fe the average cartridge belt, and
277,000 of them put end to end would
stretch 214 miles.
Croker's Insult,
That notorious combination for spoils,
Tammany, which holds political control of
the metropolis of the United States, 1s
evidently preparing to make another effort
to become a power in national politics.
John Kelly tried it when he was in the
zenith of his power. He went to the nation
al convention of 1894,with a following like
an army with banners, to crush Grover
Cleveland. The subsequent events kept
Tammany in the back seats from that day
to this.
Mr. Richard Croker, its leader. Is am
bitious to try at again. And Tammany
has, under his orders, given a war-whoop
nominating Admiral Dewey for president
in 1900.
This is an insult to the hero ot Manila.
There is nothing In his career so star
■which would lead anyone to suppose for
an instant that he would demean himself
by becoming a tool of Tammany, to aid
and abet its infamous schemes.
Besides, Admiral Dewey is a Republican
and has always been one. Tammany is a
camp follower of Democracy. If Dewey
ever aspires to a political career, we may
be sure he will ask preferment of hie own
party, and not go into the Democratic
camp to accept the support of the Tam
many organization, which keeps up its
corruption fund by levying blackmail up
on saloons, degraded women and the
criminals of New York city.
Cotton.
The Columbia State is alarmed at the
cotton prospect. It gives these reasons:
At the beginning of the cotton season last
year cotton ruled at cents tn New York
and without any suspicion that the crop
would reach an enormous total of 11,000,-
000 bales it declined over 3 cents per pound
before November 1. Cotton Is now quoted
in New York at 5% cents, with an esti
mated surplus on hand of 1,500.000 bales.
This is to be supplemented by a crop of
equal of greater volume than last year, for
Neill’s estimate ranges from a minimum
of 10.500.000 to a maximum of 12,000.000
bales. Should this enormous crop be
thrown upon a market already glutted by
over supply, the bottom would drop out.
It would be bard to predict how low prices
would be fixed, it is not improbable for it
io touch 4 cents.
There is no telling what the price of
cotton may be later on, but it is unde
niable that the present outlook is the re
verse of bullish. The remedy proposed by
our Columbia contemporary is to assemble
the Cotton Growers' Union and try to
carry out the Youmans plan of enabling
the planters to hold their erop. It is shown
that such action would insure at least 6
cents net for every pound of cotton regu
lated by It. The difference between 4 cents |
and 6 cents on a crop of 10.060,666 bales
would be $100,000,000. a stake sufficient to
interest the entire South.
The scheme is a fascinating one on
Paper, but we apprehend that it would not
work practically. As the standard dollar
goes up commodities go down. We must
have free coinage.

cause some newspapers have been foolish
enough to believe that the Telegraph con
tained a correct report of Col. Allen Can
dler’s speech at Milledgeville. The Tele
graph had Candler down as saying that
in his opinion. “Silver Is not a cardinal
doctrine of the Democratic party.” Well
what if Col. Candler did say these very
words what difference does It make. Does
it make the Telegraph a Democrat or will
it have any effect on the Democratic plat

About one month ago my child, which is
fifteen months old, had an attack of diar
rhoea accompanied by vomiting. I gave it
such remedies as are usually given in such
cases, but as nothing gave relief we eent
for a physician and it was under bis care
for a week. At this time the child had
been sick for about ten days and was hav
ing about twenty-five operations of the
bowels every twelve hours, and we were
convinced that unless it soon obtained re
lief it would not live. Chamberlain,e Colic
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was rec-
and I decided to try it. I soon
noticed a change for the better; by its
continued use complete cure was brought
about and it is now perfectly healthy.—C.
