The insistence of the United States that
Spain pay the Cuban debt should not re

Spain has so large a debt already that a

A Chicago street car line has Just been

conductors.
When the sun rose Wednesday morning

It is surprising how quickly the people

The rule is the same whether a man is
a candidate for coroner of Podunk or for
president of the United States.
Many a woman pays dollars in car fare,

Culloden Herald: Macon's great Dia
mond Jubilee Carnival is a thing 6f the
past and probably the largest crowds ever
seen in that city visited there during last
week. The entire city was crowded from
the first day until the close with people
from all parts of the state. The Carnival
seems to have been a great success in
every respect. All who attendeil seemed
to have an excellent time and the money
•pent by the immense crowds waa cer
tainly a great lift to the city. The fire
works and other amusements were good
and were all well worth the admission
fees charged to see them. Macon is a
progressive city.
Here is a shining example set by Kan
sas. The town council of Hutchinson, in
that state, has passed an ordinance
against "A Hot Time in the Old Town
Tonight.” "Any person or persons,” says
the ordinance, “who shall willfully and
maliciously whistle, hum, sing or bellow
said tune, or who shall play the notes
thereof upon any organ, hand-orgjin.
piano, flute, clarionet, trombone, bass
drum or any other musical instrument,
within the city limits shall be fined not
leas than >1.48 nor more than >2O, and
confined twenty-four tours in the lockup,
or as much longer as the magistrate shall
best for the public welfare."
Spanish in the Schools.
The question of Spanish in the public
schools is. says the American School
Board Journal, seriously before the
school public, and before the end of another
year every school board in the United
States will be called upon, either by local
pressure or as a voluntary departure, to
rendej a decision.
Thus far the leading educators approve
of the proposition and favor the introduc
tion of the Spanish language in the high
acnoote, a® wae attesteod by the action of
the National Educational Association last
summer. Chicago s new superintendent.
Professor E. Benjamin Andrews, ms among
them. The Brooklyn board has appropria
ted >1,500 for the study of Spanish, and
the Atlanta board has followed. •
The arguments in favor of teaching the
Spanish language may be summed up as
follows:
"We are a practical, commercial pro
gressive and humanitarian people and we
are improving in these respects every day
of our lives, and, since there lie vast fields
for in row’s into such worlds in Spanish
lands from Mexico, our nearest neighbor
on the south, to fax Argentine and Chilian
Patagonia, points farthest south in the
western world, we should lose no opportu
nities. If we are no to extend our use
fulness in thtvse respects, besides being
equipped as competent government offi
cials, educators, practical humanitarians,
etc., to broaden and unite and free entire
America, let us begin at home and con
sider the Spanish language as one of the
most important means of these ends.”
The Open and the Bush.
To the Horn blowers, who pretend that
they can see no silver in tbe campaign
here, this bird’s eye view, given by the
Atlanta Constitution, of the Democratic
canvass all over the country, is hereby
submitted:
"Whether they win or lose, the Demo
crats will have the satisfaction of know
ing that they have from the first fought
the good fight in an honest, straight-for
ward, manly way—hiding nothing, pretend
ing nothing, compromising nothing. The
campaign managers and the campaign ora
tors have made their fight squarely on the
Chicago platform, with its magnificent de
claration of Democratic principles. There
has been no equivocation, none of the still
hunt business which has sometimes mark
ed campaign methods.
“The campaign book issued by the con
gressional committee is the official state
ment of the position of the party. That,
from one cover to the other, has the ring
of true 'Democracy. The temptation to
make other issues than those presented by
the Chicago platform has not affected the
campaign managers any more than it has
the people. The fight has been out in the
open.”
The fight has ibeen in the open every
where, except in three of four eastern
states, where the Democrats do not dare
avow the principles of their party, al
though they are. destined to be accepted
and proclaimed by the Democrats of New
York in 1900 just as humbly as they were
In 18945.
All Fair in Love and War.
From the Americus Times-Recorder.
The urbine and gifted Stovall, of the
Savannah Press, and the brilliant genius,
Loyless, who, presides over the destinies
of the Macon News, are reminded that
they must not enter the holy of holies and
try to dictate the heart affairs of the edi
tor of The Times-Recorder, but the gal
lant editors are our professional friends
and their whims must be gratified. So
we are perfectly willing to make open
confession of our great love and fervent
admiration for handsome Mr. Berner, and
it was this undying love rather than any
patriotic principle which ruled stronger
the head than the heart and inspired the
protest against our cherished ideal, the
brilliant lawyer and Apollo-like states
man, suffering humiliation and sacrifice
upon the altar of his country by being
promoted colonel of a regiment over ex
perienced soldiers whose military genius
the handsome statesman could never' hope
to measure up to. The poet sings “All
tilings are fair in love and war,” so why
should our editor friends trouble further
when this deponent is acting under a
license tolerated by custom for ages.
Brothers, why then criticise longer this
affair of arms.
Bright Prospects for Wheat.
With a bumper crop of wheat, 700,000.000
bunhele, the wheat farmer of the United
States 1b an eager student of wheat sta
tistics in other parts of the world. His
chief competitor is the Russian wheat far
mer. This year the Russian wheat far
mer will not have any wheat to export.
London advices from Russia 'are that the
wheat crop in northern and central Rus
sia is a failure; that the crop in southern
Russia is under the average, and that Rus
sia this year will 'be an importer of Wheat.
There are good grounds for expecting
that the present generation of wheat fp-r
--mens of the United States never again will
see the days of cheap wheat, such as they
have seen.
World-wide causes are In operation to
enhance permanently the price of wheat.
Chief of these are (1) the marvelous pro
duction of gold and (2) the very rapid in
crease of wheat-eating populations, along
with no commensurate Increase in wheat
growing territory.
So far as human wisdom can foresee,
good times have come to the American
farmer. Only one cloud appears in his sky,
and that will not develop rapidly. That
consolidation of business into few hands,
which has captured all other businesses
of the earth, will at last capture also this
business—the greatest business beneath
the sky.
The process that will be employed will
be that which has 'been employed invaria
bly in the capture of all other businesses,
viz.: ruinous competition of aggregated
capital and of world-wide management and
manipulation, till the individual farmer
shall give up and sell out. %
The present generation of farmers likely
will not see the day; but their children
likely will.
It will be useless to contend against the
movement. As well try to stop the earth
in its annual journey around the sun. This
consolidation of all business is part of the
fated advance of civilization, preparing the
way and making traight the paths for “the
good time coming.”
Georgia Tax Dodgers. ‘
The annual report of Comptroller Gen
eral Wright renews the discussion over
the taxation of invisible property. It is a
subject that Mr. Wright has discussed
many times in his annual reports. He es
timatees that >300.000,000 of intangible
property escape 'taxation each year in this
efate. The value of stocks and bonds re
turned in the state is ridiculoussly inade
quate, scarcely exceeding >4.000.000. About
thirty millions of money, notes and ac
counts are returned, although the bank de
posits of 'the state exceed that sum. Fer
tilizer notes are known to aggregate eight
millions, and accounts due merchants are
probably as much more. Taking the item
as a whole, it should be one hundred mil
lions instead of thorty millions.
He asks the holders of visible and tangi
ble property—the real estate owners, in a
word—'to aid him in securing honest and
full returns. He mentions the back tax
law of this state, but he favors the enact
ment of a law that would make notes judg
ments and mortgages invalid unless re
turned for taxation. The combined hold
ers of intangible property beat the bill
kast year, but he hopes to secure the pas
sage of such a bill in the coming legisla
ture. Mr. Wright is confident that if such
a bill were placed on the statute books,
holders of intangible property would fall
over each other in their haste to see the
tax receiver for the purpose of getting such
property listed.
The Anarchist Again.
In view of recent events, the story that
a plot among the European anarchists has
been discovered to murde r ‘ Emperor Wil
liam, now on his way to the Holy Land,
may readily be believed. The attempt
upon the life of the Czar, the assassina
tion of a French and tAen a Spanish pre
mier and of an Austrian Empress, are
tragedies that have fallowed each other
IB pretty rapid succession during the past
pi||
&AKIHO

few years. It is said that the police of
Alexandria, Egypt, have arrested nine
anarchists, that more are to follow, and
that they have found bombs of great
strength and full of bullets, presumably
intended for the Kaiser. The anarchists
are making it extremely uncomfortable
for the crowned heads. Anarchists who
murder kings and queens should be pun
ished just like an ordinary assassin of an
ordinary man—promptly and certainly.
Change of Jury System.
It is the judgment of many distinguished
Jurists in this country that our jury system
must be changed. Magazinlsts of interna
tional repute have for the last two decade®
been suggesting innovation after innova
tion.
Many of the western state® have modi
fied the old statute® governing juries. The
modifioationß, however, are principally
confined to civil causes in courts of infe
rior jurisdiction.
Tinkering with the system is continuous.
The latest is observable In the new con
stitution of Louisiana. Following is a cita
tion from that instrument:
"In criminal cases where the punishment
may not be Imprisonment at hard labor,
the trial may be by the judge, without a
Jury; if the punishment may be Imprison
ment at hard labor, the case must be tried
by a jury of five, and if the punishment
must be hard Labor, then the jury shall
consist of twelve, the concurrence of nine
of whom is sufficient (for a verdict.”
This is probably the most drastic change
discoverable in the fundamental laws of
any state of the western or southern states.
The objects of the change are:
(a) To shorten trials.
(b) To reduce expenses.
(c) To increase the chances of convic
tions in cases where the parties charged
with minor offenses are notoriously guilty.
The purpose® prompting these amend
ments are commendable. * Already the re
ports from the Creole state are surprising
ly satisfactory.
Other commonwealths will have to fol
low the example Bet by Louisiana. Cin
cinnatians well know that the workings of
our jury system in the police court have
been synonymous with farces. The Prose
cutor has declared in print, time and time
again, that in certain eases, although he
had mountains of proof, it was impossible
to secure 'a conviction.
If the Magna Chata must be changed,
no one will object. The necessity for
amendment becomes more aparent every
year.
The ridicuolous demands made by the
Spanish peace commissioners have been
met with uncompromising firmness by ex-
Secretary of State Day and his colleagues.
The Castilian contention that the United
States shall assume any part of the Cuban
debt is preposterous. Never in the his
tory of wars were a vanquished people so
magnanimously treated as in the His
pano-American conflict. Consideration has
its limits. Clemency may be misapplied.
If the object of chivalrous treatment be
trays no appreciation, it is time to call a
halt. The fatuous Dons who dubbed us
“pigs” are showing that they are of the
genuine porcine natures. Let us treat
their hoggishness with the contempt it
deserves.
Deafness Cen Be Cured.
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result and unless the inflamation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give one hundred dollar® for any
case of deafness! caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

The American game of baseball is said
to be growing in popularity in England.
No feature of the game has yet been com
prehended by the Britons until the day
after it occurred, but their progress is
encouraging. It is related of one of them
who was. knocked into insensibility by a
foul tip that as his senses returned he
inquired what hit him. Upon being in
formed that it was a foul he exclaimed:
“'A foul! a foul! Why, I thought it must
have been a mule.”

Y?': I\\ ’ Few men understand
W /AA W ’ women. When a wo-
F \\ / man is weak, sickly,
.yIX nervous > fretful, irrita-
}ble an ® despondent,
the average husband
imagines that she is
simply out of temper. An average hus
band will probably simply go out and leave
her alone for awhile, "to have it out with
herself.” A bad husband is liable to go
off and get drunk. The fact is that the
poor wife is suffering from illness of a de
sdription that breaks a woman down sooner
than any thing else. Her back is weak and
aches. Her “ sides stitch.” She has pains
and a dragging sensation in the abdomen.
Her appetite is touchy and she suffers from
nausea She has sick headaches, giddi
ness, dizziness, cold chills, flushings of
heat, shortness of breath, palpitation, dis
turbed sleep, frightful dreams, irregulari
ties and nervous and trembling sensations.
Her pain-racked nerves are a continual
torture.
A woman in this condition is suffering
from weakness and disease of the delicate
and important organs concerned in wife
hood and motherhood. Dr. Pierce’s Fa
vorite Prescription makes these organs
strong and well. It allays inflammation,
heals ulceration and soothes pain. It has
transformed thousands of sickly, nervous,
petulant, childless and unhappy women
into happy, healthy, helpful, amiable wives
and mothers. It banishes the discomforts
of the period of prospective maternity and
makes babv’s advent easy and almost pain
less. Good medicine dealers sell it and an
honest druggist does not try to urge upon
you an inferior substitute for a little extra
profit.

Kentucky “tr-trscoo.”
The origin of Ker lucky burgoo is at
last dipcnven d, and tf.v Blue Grass State
can i.a longer claim it as its own culinary
inspiration.
There is a Spanish dish called olla po
drida—“a little of everything”—which is
an absolute necessity of life to every Span
iard used to even comparative luxury of
diet. The method of preparing Kentucky
burgoo has been frequently described.
Any one who has read about it will in
stantly recognize the existence of the same
culinary theory in the preparation of olla
podrida, which is described us follows by
the cook who made it for Admiral Cer
vera at Annupolis:
“A half quart of chick peas previously
soaked in water for a few hours, a couple
of carrots, some chirizos (Spanish red
sausages), long pepper, a clove or two of
garlic, an onion, a bunch of parsley, a
dozen heads of lettuce, a colewort or two,
tomatoes, a slice of gourd and any other
old vegetable. These to be cut up and put
into stock pot with a half dozen pounds
or so of brisket of beef, the knuckle end
of a leg of mutton, half a pound of
smoked streaky bacon, a few slices of ham
and lastly a fowl. These to be well cov
ered with water and the liquid carefully
skimmed, and, after it has boiled, allowed
to simmer for the short space of six
hours.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Elections In Guatemala.
Elections in Guatemala are decided, it
appears, by majorities so large as to ren
der unnecessary any subsequent electoral
contest. In order to dispose of contests
more expeditiously there are now- In Wash
ington three committees on elections in
the house of representatives. But one com
mittee probably would suffice in Guate
mala, where, at the last election for presi
dent of the republic, the vote cast was in
the proportion of 700 for one candidate to
1 for the other. The term of the president
of Guatemala is nominally six years, and
he is not eligible for a second term, but
when Guatemala gets a good president it
is the custom to prolong hls term, and a
term thus prolonged is indefinite and ends
usually when the president dies
