Cuba and the Philippines.
•I‘reft id ent McKinley's utterances through
out his Southern trip very clearly commit
<d his administration to two things—the
retention of the Philippines and the release
of Cuba. The one half way around the
world, with nothing in common with this
country and not specially attractive to us
from any standpoint, more-especially when i
■we consider the problem of their pacifica
tion. The other right at our doors, already
almost a part of us, except for the slight
difference in prevailing language and cus
4oms, not, however, more distinct than
flirts of Florida or Texas; an island that
might become in reality a part of us with
out in any way violating the letter and
-piiit of our constitution or in any way
doing violence to time-honored doctrines
■of this republic; the land for whose free
dom we fought, and whose people could be
■offered no higher form of government than
•that guaranteed under our constitution.
And yet we are to cut entirely loose
Hom these people, ignore the moral and
natural claim that we have upon them
and they upon us. and turn the island over
flo the cut-throats and anarchists who have
■ravaged and pillaged her from time im
memorial. While, at the same time, we
|ake io our breast a half-heathen, half
•ivilizcd group of Islands on the opposite
side of the globe'.
ThU'p is something illogical, inconsis
tent Hi Mr. McKinley’s position, to say the
•least of it.
We faeVe all along held that the war
with Spain could be justified from but two
standpoints. Either as provoked by the
sinking of the Maine, or brought on by our
determination to bring Cuba under out
own government. C.rtainly not through
■any purpose to take her out of the hands
of one set of cut-throats to turn her over
to another and even worse set. But the
Republican party is not. never was and
never will be consistent.
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal offers '
■this definition of a Democrat: “A Demo- I
oral now seems to be an American citizen t
who thinks as he darn pleases.’
The Grip Epidemic.
There is an epidemic of grip throughout
the country, and the situation is becoming
alarming. Even here in iMacon we have
had such an unusual spell of bad weather
its to cause a considerable amount of sick
ness of this nature.
In view of the spread of the disease it
is well to know what precautions to*take,
and a prominent New York physician has
made public a timely statement as to the
premonitory symptoms of grip. These
symptoms are a distinct chill or chilly
sensations, followed by an elevation of
temperature from 101 to 103 Fahrenheit;
pain in the head, headache, pain in the
limbs and back, aching all over the body,
mental depression, loss of appetite and
muscular weakness, often accompanied by
a hard cough with little expectoration.
Hits statement embraces the following
important questions and answers:
How may one be sure that it is real grip
that has attacked him?
The continuance of these symptoms
without local inflammation to account for
■them practically assures the nature of the
disease.
What should one take to neutralize the
attack ?
'Consult a good physician at once. Dif
ferent cases require different treatment.
There is no specific for grip.
How may one tell whether the attack
is severe enough to make it necessary to
go to bed. or only stay indoors?
Ask the advice of your physician before
venturing out.
What will be the symptoms when it is
safe for one who has had the grip to ven
ture out again?
Return of appetite, freedom from fever
and pain: relief from mental di fussion:
general return of normal conditions.
How may one guard against the dangers
of relapse during the three weeks' period
of convalescence?
Your physician must instruct you: dif
ferent conditions require different precau
tions.
What precautions should be taken when
one member of the family has grip to pre
vent the others being infected?
Do not allow members of the family to
go near the patient unless absolutely nec
essary. 'Ventilate the sick room; change
■the air as often as possible.
There were 1.300 men in the signal corps
during the recent war and they lost only
five of their number by- disease. An ex
change thinks their immunity is perhaps
attributable to the fact that there were no
surgeons and horse doctors attached to
their branch of the service.
The South Against It.
The interview with Senator Bacon on
the expansion policy of the administration,
published in The News, attracted no little
attention. The Atlanta Journal has the
following editorial concerning it:
Two prominent Southern men spoke out
yesterday in clear tones against Philippine
annexation —Senator Bacon, of Georgia, in
an interview at Macon, and Representa
tive AVdlliams, of Mississippe, in a speech
in oongiess.
Both gave strong reasons for the faith
I that is in them*, and both spoke for the
, South.
_ I Wo believe that, a majority of the people
I of the whole country are opposed to the
imperial;.-' program: w? are absolutely
aure that a great majority of the South are
I opposed to it.
The South is the mos conservative part
of the country. I- blieves in the constitu
tion as rhe fathers believed in it. and reads
it in the same sense. The South does not
3 fa vor the simultaneous liberalization of
one people and the subjugation of another.
r i It does not believe that “manifest desti
r ny.” common sense or our duty as a people
p ■ call us to the control of islands in the far
east. It sees in such a policy no prospect
r of advantage of any sort, moral or mate
i rial. The South is dead against the scheme
, of imperialism and conquest.
We hope that other Southern senators
* and representatives will speak out as Sen
> I at.or Bacon and Representative Williams
, did yesterday.
Plenty of Poon At Home.
The New York World propounds the fol
lowing anti-expanslcn problem:
The population of the United States is
, about 75,006.000. The area is 3,602,990
square miles.
Me have, therefore, a pdpula-ion of only j
twenty persons to the square mile. Eng
land has about 540 and Belgium about 530
to the square mile.
If our country- were as densely- popula
ted as England and Belgium, its people
would nomber nearly 300,000.000. or about
seven times their actual number. Yet
England an Belgium are faiirly comforta
ble countries to live in.
With a population of only one-twenty-
J seventh as dense as theirs, have we not
: room encugh within our own borders to
, grow for some centuries to come, without
seeking territorial expansion?
I
The latest is a peanut, trust to control
the crop of 2,600,000 bushels.
Th? Dairyman.
The News urges rhe people of Macon to
attend the sessions of the Georgia Dairy
men's Association in the sueprior court
room. There are more than a hundred of
these dairymen present and they repre
sent one of the most progressive elements
of th eagricultunal interest of the slate. The
father or the mother who will attend will
learn a great deal’ about the production
and the preparation of that table staple
which is most necessary to the health ot
the family. And there is no osherway in
which the fathers and mothers aforesaid
can do better by- the little ones who de
pend upon 'them for pure food than to lis
ten to what these devoted and earenprisjng
farmers have to say about the quality of
milch stock and the best methods of
creamery- management. These imen are
“fan'ey farmers” in the best sense. They
are trying to do something with the ‘Tied
old hills of Georgia” that the old time cot
ton farmers never (fid. They are making
new blades of grass to grow. They are
■determined that 'Georgia shall become one
of the greatest dairying stares of the
Union; that Georgia shall furnish to the
word as good milk and butter and cheese
as any other state; that the whole cattle
industry shall be developed to the great
est possible extent.
Therefore, lot everybody attend. 'Let the
assembly room be crowded, so that these
dairy farmers, who compliment IMacon
every year by making the city their con- ;
venition site, will perceive that we appre
ciate them and are in sympathy with all
their purposes and aspirations. The del
egates are all men of character in their
respective counties. They are of the very
• bone and sinew of the state.
, Among the prominent anti-imperialists
I of the country are Andrew Carnegie, Chas.
; F. Adams. Ex-Senator George F. Edmunds,
Samuel Gompers. John C. Bullitt, of Phril
j aidelphia; Herbert Myrick. orator of the
Notional Grange; Edward Atkinson: Pat
rick A. Collins, ex-Und-ted States Consul
to London; 'Samuel Bowles, of the Spring
field 'Republican; Carl Schurz. John Sher
man. aJmes C. Carter. Bishop Henry C.
Potter: Governor H. S. Pingree of-Mich
igan: Grover Cleveland; Reverdy Johnson,
of (Maryland: Congressman Henry U. I
Johnson, of Indiana: and John G. Carlisle.
Railroad and bank presidents will not
'have to pay the special state tax of $lO
iper year. This came about through a mis
take, as the bank and railroad presidents
were accidentally emitted from the tax
act. When the printed bill went to the
senate it was proposed to insert pharma
cists and in so doing the bank and railro'ad
presidents were omitted.

The Navy Department, says a press dis
patch. will probably order Hero Hobson to
hurry up to Manila and get to work rais
ing ships, instead of lionizing around the
I country and kissing girls by the hundreds.
For which the country will be truly I
thankful.
An exchange announces that the Cherry [
I sisters have gone to Havana to avenge the
Maine.
Binswanger's Wall Street bar and res
? taurant extends a cordial invitation to the
lovers of good beer. The reputation of
I this establishment assures the patrons of ■
good treatment. The restaurant is run |
upon the highest grade, and the finest
looking. Select wines, liquors and cigars.
Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making a better ar
. ticale than your competitor if you can- ,
1 not get a beter price for it?
Ans.—As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better, ,
I so that while our profits may be smaller
! on a single sale they will be much larger
( in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
that your make is the besr?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people have
been using it for years and have found
that it can always be depended upon. They
■ may occasionally take up with some fash
ionable novelty put forth with exagger-
I ated claims, but are certain to return to
the one reemdy that they know to be re-
I liable, and for coughs, colds and croup
there is nothing equal to Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. For sale by H. J. Lamar
