There is every reason to believe that Macon will be crowded with troops for some time to come, a thing that will be mo-t gratifying to our people from a per -oii.il .is well ;ir business standpoint. The •indii'atlons now are that no effort will be made to begin the active occupation of Cuba before January Ist. On New Year's day tihe Spaniards sur render the sovereignty of Cuba and th? American flag will float over the island for ti time at least. Tlie Spanish evacuation communion strenuously- contended for February 28th as the date of formal evac uation. and the Americans held out ifor Uecember -Ist. Finally Sagasta appealed directly to McKinley and recivlng an un favorable reply, the Spaniards agreed that on January let they would surrender con trol of title "(b in of the Antilles,” the well beloved and "ever faithful” island. The Americans were willing to grant, the extra month. In fact it will be a physical tan fHKi ibllity to get the Spaniards out of Cull.i for several months yet. The Amer icans agreed that they would be respon sible for their safety. The American occu pation of the island is to begin iinmedii utely and it is in view of these facts that the troops In tlie South are being prepared for the Journey. Instead of occupying the towns from the east to the west, tihere has been i change in the plans, and now Ha vana and Cienfugas will be among the first places to contain American troops. This may be done before the control of (he forts in those cities are given up, which will ibo January Ist. While General Wilson’s corps will doubth sn be among the first to occupy the island, everything seems to indicate that a majority of the troops now encamped in the South will bo allowed to remain at least until January Ist, of not longer. Th? State Pension System. There scenns to be a dis-position in cer tain quarters to have Governor Candler mis-undcrertood when he says he favors a reduction -of the state pension roll: the evident purpose being to turn the old sol diers against their old comrade in arms. That the effort will prove futile goes without saying, but in the meantime, it is just <as well to undestaml the governor as Co this pension business, and to see if he is not right. Hie proposition i« to reduce the pension system to the indigent basis; that is to evav no one ehall receive a pension except those who are in need of it. This is not meant to define a pensioner as -a pauper, (mt merely to prevent the drawing of pen sions by .able bodied and well-to-do men who happen to have lost a limb or >a finger during the war. True their country can never -sufficiently reward them for their heroic service, but neither can it ever re ward those who fought side by side with them, -but who escaped permanent injury —.many of whom are even more in need of n pension than some who receive it. Just here is where the trouble comes in. and it is what is making the pension business a «nan> as well as a burden. We happen to know of affluent, .able bodied. though -slightly maimed. ex-Con b-derate soldiers who are drawing pensions from the state, while their old comrade in arms, though reduced almost to pover ty. goes without. And, worse still, of indi gent widows, whose husbands drew pen sions until the time of their death, when the state’s bounty suddenly ceased, leav ing them more helpless than before. We recall one case in particular. The hus band and father was one of the bravest of -the brave. He left an arm on the field of Gettysburg, but with the other he re duced the enemy by three before he suc cumbed. Being a man of meagre attain ments. his means of earning a livelihood for himself and family after the war were circumscribed, by reason of his disability. During life he drew his little pension, and tt heliied to keep the wolf from the door. Then he died, and the widow, poor woman, was entirely shut off from the pension. Just as she had begun to need it most it was refused her. and she was soon in in digent circumstances. It is for these that Governor Candler •would strike the names of the well-to-do and able-bodied from the rolls. And he is right in doing so. Unfortunately, the law as it stands admits of but one construc tion. We should very much like to see the Jaw so changed as to provide for the indigent widows as well as for the old veteran himself in need, no matter wheth er his wounds arc in evidence, even if it is necessary to deprive the maimed, but well-to-do veteran of his own pension. Whether the appropriation be large or small, and whether there be a deficit or no deficit, we still think the indigent basis is best for -the pension system. Not in any sense that would suggest an admission of pauperism or in otherwise give offense to the state's most deserving beneficiaries, but merely to make what there i* of this pension . money nach those who most need rt. The ; - proposed reform in this quarter need have nothing whatever to do with the much discussed plan of “retrenchment.” It is . merely a proposition to reform the eye- - tern itself on a very commendable line. The Issue Before Us. While everybody else is arguing the question we claim the right to express a few views, without intending to give of fence to anyone and without questioning the motive of those who may differ or , agree with us: in short, to simplystateour . own convicitions in print, as others have i done from the platform and elesewhere. Much abuse and much bitterness has grown out of this prohibition controversy, as we feared it would; but, for our part, we have endeavored to keep in a good hu mor. while hearing ourselves assailed and ridiculed. We have seen no occasion for bad feeling, or for the very ugly charges and counter-charges that have been made by both sides to this controversy. After all, the question is a plain one, a simple one when we do not confuse it with the various other issues that are injected 1 into the controversy for the take of ar gument. The issue of “license” or ”no license” has, unfortunately, been con fused with the temperance question, and nine-tenths of the arguments heard on the platform and on the streets in favor of prohibition are, in reality, "temperance” arguments. It is not right to thus con- , fuse the Isaue. Against temperance there is no argument, and every sane man knows it. So, also, is there no argument against morality. lAnd yet certain evils have always and always will exist. With reference to one of the greatest moral sins even our best churchmen are now agreed that the law can do nothing but restrain and the church can do no more than warn against. The public conscience will not permit the temples erected to this sin to be licensed, and yet common sense will not allow them to be abolished. We have used the extreme of human vices as an illustration because we are willing, for the sake of argument, to place the sale and consumption of liquor in the worst light. The former is an evil i.i its entirety, the latter only in a measure. The sale of liquor to a person who abuses it ' Is an evil; but to one who does not, it is the same as any other business transac tion. The consumption of liquor by one who abuses it is also an evil, but its use by one who does not is without the ele ment of wrong Thus we get the temperance question and the prohibition question fairly separ ated; and in no other way can the issue bo fairly or Intelligently argued. While [ we fully concur in the view that prohi bition does not prohibit, that in effect the issue is merely the “licensed sale” of ’ whisky or the “no-llcense sale” thereof, we are not willing to rest the case here, ’ because we frankly admit that prohibition ■ will very materially reduce the consump . tion of all those beverages whose sale is prohibited by law. In taking the position we do we are tlrst controlled by a sense of Justice. Have we the right to deprive 95 per cent, of our people of the privilege of buying bever , ages which they do not abuse, merely be . cause the other 5 per cent. —and the esti -3 mate is a liberal one—use it to their own ' harm, and perhaps even to the annoyance f of their neighbor. On this last point alone can the prohibitionist base his right ? to interfere. If the use of liquor affects r the comfort and welfare of the public at 1 large, then shall that public interfere to prevent its use? On this alone can the r prohibitionist stand. But the question is 1 still —and it is a very vital one—-whether ■ 95 per cent, of the people shall be de -1 prived of their rights, in order that the I other 5 per cent, may be restrained —or > only partially restrained, as is usually the i case. Is it not more proper that the 5 per ’ cent should be deprived of their right to f buy and to use tbtee beverages? In deciding this point we must bear in - mind that we are, in reality, asking for prohibition for those who misuse whisky. j We do not even take into serious con , sideration those who use it properly; we , make no point on them at all. Our whole ■ effort is for the other 5 per cent. And ’ right here we lose sight of the fact that ; there is an individual prohibition law in Georgia, easily put in operation and easily enforced. It is intended to apply directly I to those who misuse these God-given bev ' erages. All that is necessary is to make formal notice upon the saloons that so s. and-so is an habitual drinker and uses li quor to hie own detriment and to the in jury of his family and neighbors. The law is there, and it is enacted by the same authority that enacts a prohibition law. . If there are those who would- challenge i the possibility of its enforcement, they * thereby admit the futility of a prohi'oi ’ tion law that would embrace thousands instead of a few. If there are habitual , drinkers who clamor for prohibition be i cause they have not the will power to re s sist drink, then they owe it to themselves, to their family and to the community to ’ voluntarily avail themeelves of the pro l teotion of this individual prohibition law. t Neither they, nor their families, nor . their friends, it seems to us, are Justified in seeking to deprive ninety-nine other ’ men of their personal rights because of ! this weakness of the one. Such a proced r use is founded neither on sound prin ciples of justice nor on sound prin- ' ciples of government. Who holds so may f as well go a step further and seek to stop f the sale and use of playing cards because t some people use them to their detriment; 1 regardless of the fact that millions of others find innocent entertainment and amusement in the various games that are , played with cards. The same principles of justice apply to both cases. Yet who ■ amongst us, in this nineteenth century, would go so far? A serious movement in 1 this direction would justify visions of the . old "Blue Laws.” which forbade the use ? of tobacco under certain circumstances, because the framers thereof did not smoke or chew, and prescribed certain forms of dress dictated by the most untasty old fogies that ever wore clothes. Thus does the issue resolve itself into 1 one of personal rights. At least it is so that we view it, though we have naught j to say against any’ one who differs with us. As for ourselves, we have first con , sidered this question of personal rights, next the benefits, if any. to be derived 1 from prohibition, even if we should waive these rights, and next the effect upon a r struggling and progressive city should we i make the experiment. And viewing it so, , i we have calmly, deliberately and consci f entiously decided to cast our own vote . "For the Sale,” with such regulations and s restrictions as are now fixed, and with a the hope of seeing a still -further im ] provement in this direction. s Speaking of the recent disturbance in t Macon the Atlanta Journal offers this hint: r MWe do not know where these negro r soldiers hail from, -but they evidently do t not understand the people among whom t they are now stationed. t "Macon is about the last place where i they’ can with impunity cut such didoes s as they did last Saturday."

A soldier at Americus was paid off in full last week, receiving $15.60. He took the amount and hired from a livery stable the finest landau in the city and rode out the full value of his money. And ,-et Americus is a so-called “dry” town. The above paragraph in yesterday's News called forth a protest from some of our prohibition friends.who make the point that Americus will not -be a dry’ town until Janury- 1. The News is always fair, and it stands corrected. It is now clear that the soldier in question bought his liquor at a bar instead of from a blind tiger. On March 15. 1897. shortly after William McKinley became president, the current monthly deficit under the Wilson bill was $2,000,000. On November 15, 1898, under the Dingley law, passed to meet the hole in the treasury, the current monthly de ficit, aside from the new war taxes, was $14,000,000 or nearly as much as the de ficit for the entire last year of -the Wilson bill. And yet Hanna, on second thought, says it is the most perfect tariff measure ever devised. Spain seems to be determined to go on record as not knowing when she has enough. A Sure Sign of Croup. Hoarseness in a child that is subject to croup is a sure indication of the approach of that disease. If Chamberlain’s Couch Remedy is given as soon as the child be comes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough has appeared, it w’ill prevent the attack. Many mothers who have croupy children always keep this remedy at hand and find that it saves them much trouble and worry. It can always be depended upon and is pleasant to take.. For sale by H. J.

The Third Georgia regiment, which has been for so long a time stationed at Grif fin, is now in Savannah and will move again in a few days for Cuba. The regi ment was mustered into service after peace had been declared, and is, like the Third Engineers, which is stationed here, one of the "baby regiments of the ser vice.” The men made quite a kick some time ago and it seemed that all of the privates wished to be mustered out, and at one time the government issued orders for the mon to be turned loose, but Congressman Maddox went on to Washington and after several consultations wTth the president he succeeded in having the regiment re tained. The privates in the regiment did not like this at all, but they accepted their fate and for the past month they have been clamoring to be moved from Griffin. It was thought at one time that the regiment would be stationed in Athens during the winter, but a few days ago it was assigned to Gen. Carpenter's bri gade and will soon move on to Cuba. The regiment passed through here yes terday afternoon about 6 o’clock in six sections, three coming over the Central and three over the Southern. All of the men seemed happy at getting out of the state. One of the privates said that the men of the regiment wanted to go any where rather than to stay in Griffin all during the winter, and that they were ju biliant over the prospect of going to Cuba since there was nothing else to do. There are many Macon boys in the regiment and many, people .were at the trains when the regiment came in. The soldiers were not allowed to leave the trains, but they all gave three cheers for Macon as the trains pulled out. • The officers were all in good spirits over the prospect of seeing service after so long a time in camp. The officers of the Third are among the best in the United States and the regiment is now recog nized as one of the best volunteer regi ments in the country. The men have had an excellent training under Lieutenant Soence, who is a West Point graduate. The regiment will be under command of Gen. Lee, while it is in Savannah and will be camped along with the Seventh army corps. It will probably be sent into Cuba within the next week.
