Covington, Ga., April 12 , 1898 .
WAR SEEMS INEVITABLE.
War with Spain now seems to
be inevitable.
As we stated last week, we can
see no way of averting it, only by
.Spain backing down, and acceding
to the demands of the United States
for the independence ot Cuba and
the withdrawal of the Spanish
troops from the island.
This the Spanish cabinet vigor¬
ously and unanimously refuses to
do.
The United Slates government
cannot recede from its position on
the Cuban question, and so a col¬
lision at arms between the
countries seems to be inevitable.
'I'lie president's message to con¬
gress, which was to have been sent
to that body on Wednesday, has
not been delivered to it yet.
It was delayed at the urgent
quest of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
had been instructed to get
Americans out of Cuba at once ;
but many of them being in remote
parts of the island, and the facili
t es for getting them to the coast
towns so scant, Gen. Lee found it
impossible to get them all away
before the 10th inst., and as he
feared they would be massacred by
the Spanish,if the president’s mes¬
sage was sent to congress before
Monday, lie very properly advised
that it be withheld until all were
safely out of the country.
Gen. Lee himself left the island
on Saturday, and probably reached
Washington yesterday morning.
The president’s message may
possibly not reach congress until
today, but we have no idea it will
be longer withheld.
It will then be for congress to
determine what shall be done, and
it is expected that a declaration of
war will follow immediately.
War is a serious business, and
we all deprecate the fact that it
should ever become necessary for
us to engage in such a terrible
tiling with another nation. But
there are conditions and circum¬
stances that seem to justify it in
the eyes of all mankind. Tha
t
condition of affairs has lieen reach¬
ed between Spain and the United
.States, and nothing can avert a
conflict between them but an ac¬
ceptance of the terms laid down
by the United States by the Span¬
ish cabinet.
That, the Spaniards say, they
will not do.
Possibly, therefore, before this
paper is read around the firesides
in the peaceable homes of its pa¬
trons, the toe in of conflict may lie
sounding from mountain to sea¬
board of this great natiotT, and the
pomp and circumstance of war may
be upon us. But we must meet
it like men. The inteiest of suf¬
fering humanity demands we
should do our duty in the matter.
When the conflict comes bet ween

I and the Spanish, at first, may ge<
some advantage, for they are a war

j It will be a war of iron and steel
and dynamite and science to I
1 u
greater extent than the world has
ever witnessed before.
But the result cannot be doubt
ed. The longer it goes on tin.
weaker Spain must become, whih j
the United States will grow stron
ger. The recuperative powers
and resources of t his country are al
most unbounded, and her full
strength cannot be brought inti
action for a long time to come ;but
it is not so with Spain, She will
put forth her main strength at the
outset, but every engagement she
lias with our navy will reduce her
ability to cope successfully with
our ships, until she is finally ex
hausted.
The war will be confined
exclusively to the navy, and there
will probably be no land fighting,
except in Cuba.
An American army of 50,000 to
100,000 nten will probably be
to Cuba very soon, but the fight¬
ing there will not be very heavy
or lasting.
Withal, we think war is in¬
evitable, and that the quicker and
more vigorous the first blow can be
struck by our government, the bet¬
ter it will be for us.

“Snap Primaries, ft
Congressman L. F. Livingston
offers a courteous hut emphatic
protest ngainst the nation of Ful- !
ton county in calling a primary , i
j
to nominate a candidate for con- \
gross on April Jlst. 't his eurlv
movement, on the part of Fulton
gives Col. Livingston little, if any
opportunity to canvas that coun¬
tv. and therefore, seems unfair to
him. In a lengthy article to the
public, among other things, Col.
Livingston says: ‘‘If Mr. Felder’s
friends have, in fixing the primary
for April 21 , done injustice to the
other spirants from Fulton
county, how much greater the in¬
justice toward myself, who is giv¬
en absolutely no opportunity of
meeting the people or ot present
ing ray position t<> them? No
man who is true to his duty as a
r epresentative in congress can
leave Washington in the face of
the present great crisis in the na
ion’s affairs. Any representa
who . would do th would , , , be
iive t
mworthv the position he holds.
fhe next three or four weeks pr o
iii-se to be the most momentous
hat the country has known since
.he days of the civil war. In fac
ing this crisis, not only congress
is a body, but each individual
uember. must do its and his full
luty. The responsibility of say
mg whether we slull have war oj
peace rests with the legislative
1 mutch of this government, aim
congress must he here to assume
its full share of theresponsibility.
No man who has regard for his
duty to his constituents and 1 (
the country can afford to absent
himself from the national capitol
-ven if his whole political future
ye at stake. In my case the re¬
iponsihility goes even further.
As a member of the appropria¬
tions committee of the house it is
my duty to be here and pass upon
ill propositions to appropriate
money. If we are to have war,
the work of this committee be
lomes of paramount importance;
wen should war not come, there
are to lie appropriations for the
relief of the starving Cubans and
f lU . other measures which
the president or congress may put
j on foot. Every appropriation bill
j must originate in the house and
! the dntv <»f this committee de
comes in the present condition oi
! the country’s affairs of very great
importance.
I can feel warranted in going
this much into details concernin'
! the necessity of my remainin'
here at my post, though I feel
sure the people of Fulton count}
and of the whole district realize
in - it general way the situation, 1
would be derelict to every dictate
: ( >f duty if I were to absent myseli
from Washington at this time.
And 1 would not do so—I would
not leave, even if 1 knew that to
I remain here would mean my de¬
feat for the rcnimnnatiim which I
naturally desire.
If I have proved equal to the du¬
ties of t he office in 1 he past and am
of the present aspirants, best qual
Hied to serve the interests of the
l'h‘ ot the district . for another
l ,( ’ (,
term ’ n ' T should ^>ot Id he be rennimravtcd rennmimited

crats of tl.u di.siricf, and in saying
tllclt I intend reflection . the
no upon
personality of those who are oppos¬
ing me, nor of their ability to do
good service in some other sphere.
■ I think it is no egotism to say,
i however, that it is within my pow
er to serve the people of the dis
trict in congress better than they
can.
I The action of Fulton
county ex¬
ecutive committee does a wrong to
each of the other seven counties
in the district in attempting to force
upon them a choice between two
candidates ‘ ‘ ’ when there ire four
