SPAIN BOWS TO THE INEVITABLE.
On Monday the Spanish peace
commissioners, making a virtue of
necessity, accepted the demands of
the United States, and peace will be
perfected between the two warring
nations as soon as the action of the
commissioners is ratified by the
Spanish Cortes and the United States
Senate.
The terms of the agreement are
that Spain shall evacuate Cuba and
relinquish to the 1 nited States the
island of Porto Rico, the entire
Philippine group, and *he island of
Guain in the Ladrone group. The
United States will pay Spain $20,-
000,000 in cash ami agrees to pur
chase from Spain one of the Caroline
Islands for a consideration to be
mutually agreed on.
The Spanish commissioners ac
cepted the terms under emphatic
protest, but, as her commissioners
expressed it, “from considerations of
humanity to her own people, who
were unable to again enter upon a
war of bloodshed.”
The people of Spain accept the
peace terms philosophically. They
are tired of war, and are anxious for
the whole thing to end so they can
take slock, see where they are at,
and begin the work of rising from
the ashes.
There is not at all likely to be any
foreign interference in our occupation
of the Philippines. The Great
Powers have troubles a-plenty of
their own. They are walking on
needles and watching each other with
hands on hip pockets. England is
with America. So is Japan, for that
nation has a grudge on account of
intimidation in the Chinese in-
Hntnnhv io bluffing but
she has troubles of her own. Trouble
has been feared from that erratic
megalomaniac, the German emperor
—but he has troubles of his own,
ami a dispatch from Paris says :
Count Von Munster, the German am
bassador to France, was the first diplo
mat to call at the American headquar
ters this afternoon and congratulate Mr.
Heid on the commission’s successful
work. He said the settlement would
meet the approval of Germany.
There will be no interference.
The alliance of the Anglo-. Saxon
may do what it will. America and
England, with their fighting blood,
their navies, and their resources,
could easily whip the balance of the
world, it indeed the improbable
contingency should arise when the
world should combine against them.
The friendship of England, so
valuable in commanding hands off in
our fight with Spain, has been, we
fear, also a source of evil, in that it
has emboldened us to go beyond a
war for humanity and into the quick
sands of a war of conquest, and the
annexing of a lot of savage and
malarial islands, the income from
which will probably never repay the
cost of sanitation and policing.
As to the Cuban debt, our govern
ment will pay no part of it, and the
holders of these bonds will have to
do an extended job of whistling.
Spain is in a very bad way. She
owes close to two billion dollars, and
is virtually bankrupt. She is an
< ffcte monarchy. The seeds of de
cay are in her blood and bones, and
we do not believe she will ever rise
under the load. If she possessed the
elements of recuperation she might
rise again despite the loss of her
colonies, from which she has always
drawn handsome revenues without
giving anything in return in the
way of decent government or in
dustrial betterments. Spain always
ran her colonies like the Georgia
Railroad ran the G. J. & S.—worked
them full hours without giving even
board and clothes in return.
Spain’s consolidated debt, heme
and foreign, is some $1,100,000,000.
There is besides a debt to the bank
of Spain of $330,000,000. The
Cuban debt is variously stated, but
the New York Journal of Commerce
estimates it at $400,000,000, an in
crease of $250,000,000 in five years.
The Philippine debt has grown in
that lime from virtually nothing to
$40,000,000. Altogether Spain’s
burden is about $1,900,000,000.
Obviously Spain will not be able to
pay interest on this vast amount
after the revenue derived from Cuba
and the Philippines is cut off. The
debt will have to be scaled down,
after an interval of non-payment of
interest. France will be the chief
sufferer. French holders of Spanish
bonds have some $600,000,000 of
that kind of “securities” and get be
tween $25,000,000 and $30,000,000
of interest on them.
THE CITY HALL.
Mr. Editor: Ab I opposed al the
court house, on the night of the 14th
ultimo, the proposition to erect a
city hall at this time, I ask a little
space in your paper to explain more
fully the reasons of my position. I
did not reflect upon the city council.
A man can hold views and express
them without in the least reflecting
upon those who may entertain differ
ent opinions. This council is com
posed of men, and men -lake mis
takes. They make mistal sin their
own business ; so how can they do
any better in public affairs? To my
mind, it is a mistake to erect a city
hall just at this time. Taking into
consideration the excessive taxation
on the part of the state, the high
valuations of real estate, and the
general condition of our tax payers,
I am of the opinion that no money
except what is absolutely necessary
ought to be expended. What “our
sister cities” think of us has nothing
to do with the question. They- will
no more furnish the money than my
neighbor across the street will fur
nish me money to build what 1 am
not able to do. It is a fact that
many of us bring trouble to ourselves
by trying to keep up the style in
which our rich neighbor lives, when
we do not command the means.
This law applies"to corporations as
well as individuals.
Who is to furnish this $2,500 set
apart for the first payment on the
proposed building ? I answer that
the greater part of it will come out
of the owners of real estate, and I
think I can prove it; and if another
$2,500 is appropriated next year the
same valuations on real estate must
continue if the rate of taxation is to
be the same.
The city assessors for 1897 valued
the real estate at $1,310,130. The
council, upon the recommendation of
the assessors, reduced - this amount
one-third, or $433,710, leaving $867,-
420 to be taxed. The rate was 9
mills, and amount of taxes collected
was $7,806. The city assessors for
1898 valued the real estate at $1,345,-
570. This amount is taxed 8 mills,
and will bring into the treasury $lO,-
764. Subtract $7,806 from $10,764
and we have $2,958. Thus real es
’ Vatv paye tints much more into the
treasury than it did last year. The
rate of taxation does not concern us.
The question is, how much tax in
actual dollars and cents do we pay ?
By this statement we see that
although the rate is less than last
year yet the real estate pays $2,958
more. This $2,958 pays the $2,500
set apart for the hall.
The values placed on real estate
are fictitious, and really the tax on
such property this year is nearer $1
on each SIOO than it is 80 cents, the
levy made.
In passing, let me say that the
“tax dodger” is largely a product
of high taxes. The man who has
! money to invest would much prefer
to find a low rate of taxation and no
city hall than high taxation and a
fine city hall. If the real estate had
been placed at a cash value there
would have been no surplus, provid
ed the rate had been 8 mills as it
now is.
As the burden of falls on the owe
ers of real estate, let me suggest that
for next year the real estate be val
ued on a cash basis as nearly as pos
sible, and the $2,500 surplus be ap
propriated to the payment of coupons
due Jan. 1, 1899, instead of borrow
ing money for that purpose. This
interest saved on the $2,500, at the
low rate of 5 1-2 per cent, will be
sl37.so—enough to go a good way
toward repairing the old buildings.
I am not opposed to progress in
the right way, but 1 am opposed to
it when taxes of all kinds take from
one-fourth to one-third of the gross
rents from dwellings.
When the state reduces its rate of
taxation and real estate in our city
is put on an equality with money on
deposit, stocks, bonds, and other per
sonal property, then I will be willing
to consider the erection of a city
hall.
One other point I was about to
forget: The indications point to a
reduction in the public school fund
by the legislature. If this is done,
our part of that fund will be less
than it was this year, and to make up
whatever amount that may be the
city will have to increase its appro
priation to our public schools.
E. P. Chambers.
THE GOVERNOR HITS THE BULL’S-EYE.
Governor Candler now hat hi<
dander up and is coming down on
the deficit question with the proper
lick. Monday morning he sent to
the general assembly a special
message on the subject of finance.
He recommends that the school
fund be nduced $400,000 during
tach of the next two years, and that
pensions he paid only to those
veterans and soldiers’ widows who
actually need help.
He says the state has been going
too fast in the matter of appropria-
tions for educat on and recommends
strict adherence to the constitutional
limitation of common school studies
to the ordinary branches of an
English education.
The governor urges the importance
of tax reform, but says the estimates
of the possible increase of the
taxable property by new legislation
have overshot the mark, and that it
is absolutely necessary to cut ap
propriations. He states that after
paying interest on the public debt
and other items which cannot be
lawfully reduced, there is about
$3,000,000 left, and that of this
$2,300,000 goes to school and pen
sions. He adds that if this amount
and the fixed charges are paid, there
will not be a dollar left at the present
tax rate, though all salaries and a
numbar of other appropriation are
abolished.
The Governor is of the opinion
that while we should exercise due
consideration for the school children
and the veterans, those who pay the
taxes are also entitled to consider
ation. The Governor fails to see
the benefits of long school terms in
rural communities when the children
are unable to attend more than three
or four months in the year because of
having to labor on the farms.
Governor Candler’s sound, sensible,
and patriotic message will be hailed
with approval by a large majority of
the people of the state. It points
out the only possible solution of the
high-tax problem.

TOO MUCH BUNCOMBE.
If the Georgia solons keep on in
troducing new bills at the present
rate they will break all former rec
ords. It would require at least a
year’s time for the legislature to
properly consider and pass upon
these bills. Too many bills are in
troduced and too much work mapped
out for each session. As a result of
this over-crowuing, important meas
ures are acted upon too hastily or
the bills go over until the end of the
session and are lost sight of entirely
in the rush and hurry to get through
with things. It will be practically
impossible for the legislature to con
sider and dispose of the bills already
introduced before the end of the
session. Too much of the lime of
the legislature is consumed in listen
ing to the reading of bills which
amount to nothing and which would
do more harm than g iod if enacted
into laws.
Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making a better ar
ticle than your competitor if you cannot
get a better price for it?
Ans.—As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much great
er in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi
nently 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 fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs,
colds and croup there is nothing equal to
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. For sale

If You Qu, Gome to Me.
THE war is over, and we have demonstrated
to the world that our country is the strong
est in the family of nations, that our citi
zens are the best men on earth, and that
American soil is worth more than that of any
other portion of the face of the globe.
I have on hand for sale a part of this glorious
country, consisting of Farms, Stores, City Resi
dences, Building Lots, Gold Mines, and, in
short, every kind of Real Estate that a man or
woman may desire for a happy home or a com
fortable living. On account of the stagnation
of business during ’96 and ’97, and as a result of
the war with Spain prices reached their lowest
notch. Prospects are now much brighter, bus
iness is looking up, and I believe now is a good
time to invest. I can still sell at lowest prices.
I have a large number of Building Lots that
I am selling at low prices and on small pay-1
ments, putting it in the reach of all to buy. I
have been in this business a long time, many
of you have dealt with me, and I propose to
continue to act for the interests of bath buyers
and sellers. I ask all who desire to buy, or
have property they want to sell, to call on me
or write to me. I will benefit you either way.
