ONE WHO IS GLAD.
Some gentleman signing himself
“Democrat,” with a remarkable load
of self-c mceit and a bad breath,
writes in last week’s Cracker and con
gratulates that paper on its announce
ment that it is a Democrat. The
reason we know he is abnormally
seif-conceited is that he assumes to
call himself the Democratic party.
The reason we know he has a bad
breath is because we can smell it m
the paper. Through the medium of
cold type, although the paper is now
a week old, it still stands out with
unrivaled persistence and vitality.
This gentleman with the heliotrope
breath says he is glad the Cracker
has become the official organ of the
Sheriff, because the Eagle has been
stabbing the Democratic party in the
dark. Now, if he will stop and think
—provided he is capable of calm,
ju'licial thought—he will conclude
that the Eagle never stabs anybody
or anything in the dark. When it
stabs, the object of its thrust is
always a vice, a fraud, or an impos
ter, and it always stabs on the front
side and in broad daylight. Can
this “Democrat” with the heliotrope
breath say as much, and say it truth
fully ?
We were never in favor of the
Chicago platform,because it is loaded
down with undemocratic, socialistic,
and dangerous principles ; but after
the party adopted it and was under
the fire of battle we said not a word
against it. And when we could have
stabbed the party in the back we
voted for W. J. Bryan, the Populist
nominee for the Presidency, because,
by a fatuitous jugglery of logic, we
could construe him as also the Dem
ocratic nominee.
We disagree with the gentleman
with the heliotrope breath in another
thing. We believe that the recent
war has effectually and forever oblit
erated the leading principles of the
Chicago platform from the American
heart and brain. The war was such an
assertion of American manhood, such
a revelation of the latent forces of
American virtue, such a resurrection
of the sleeping and seemingly dead
impulses of patriotism in the Amer
ican heart, that the scurvy and snarl
ing hyenas of anarchism embodied
in the Chicago platform have slunk
into their charnel house to be seen
no more in the sunlight of heaven.
With boundless and inexhaustible
faith we pin our hopes on the inhe
rent virtues of the republic and the
integrity of its citizens and the surety
that they will do the right thing
when they come to understand.
Since this reassertion of the Flag
and its rebaptism in fire and blood,
and the quickening and vitalizing of
the national and individual con
science, when every one is prouder
than ever of his country and its insti
tutions, men will not rush to poison
the channels of trade with dishonest
dollars, they will not rush to blow
the breath of calumny upon the
supreme tribunal and poison the
fountain of justice; they will not
rush to place upon the shoulders of
thrift the burdens of shiftlessness
because it is able to bear them.
We are opposed to the Chicago
platform because it is a blight upon
the revered and time-honored prin
ciples of Democracy and is a mill
stone around the neck of the party.
We say this openly and in good faith
as a Democrat, because we are striv
ing to have it modified or radically
changed. We are working toward
a reformation. The time to do this
is now. What is done toward mold
ing public sentiment must be done
before the next national convention
meets. If a political party should
make a bad platform of principles
and every member of the party
should continue to worship it as a
fetich to give it blind, mechanical
allegiance, it would never be changed,
but, although a hissing and a by-word,
would live forever.
With the growth and expansion of
virtue and conscience, the principles
of the Chicago platform will fade
from the American mind—from even
the overwrought minds of their fren
zied votaries—and it is only a ques
tion of time, only a question of sun
light and knowledge when they shall
be as dead as the mummies that have
waited through the oblivion of dusty
centuries for the resurrection prom
ised by their deluded priests.
BOUGHT A DEN OF SNAKES.
We might as well make up our
minds that we have a very serious
situation in the Philippines to face.
When the treaty with Spain was
signed in Paris the impression pre
vailed in this country that the Fili
pinos, recognizing our benevolent
intentions, would welcome our rule
until such time as they were pre
pared to assume the management of
their own affairs. That impression
was a mistaken one. The Filipinos
are not going to permit us to manage
their political affairs, and if we db
so we must establish our authority
by force. That is so evident that
there is no room for question.
And it looks as if the war which
we are waging against the Filipinos
would be a long one. It would be a
short one if it were possible to meet
all of the forces of the Filipinos in
open battle, but they understand the
situation too well to come out into
the open and risk their cause in one
or two great engagements. They
intend to conduct their war against
us just as they conducted their war
against Spain. They hope by their
guerrilla methods to finally tire us
out and drive us from the country.
We have already quite a large
army and a very considerable navy
in the Philippines, and there is a call
for more troops and more vessels of
war. There need be no surprise if
these calls should be repeated. The
sickly season is rapidly approaching,
and when it comes the hospitals will
be filled with our troops. They will
not be able to conduct a vigorous
campaign io the jungles and swamps
to which the insurgents will retire
when they are vigorously pursued.
The administration has decided
upon a vigorous campaign, with the
hope of ending opposition to our
rule before the sickly season begins.
That is undoubtedly the proper
course to pursue, but it is doubtful
if the result hoped fdr will be at
tained. The insurgents are in a
position to carry on a long war, and
that is the kind we are likely to have.
What it will cost, no one can predict
with any degree of certainty.
One thing can be depended upon,
and that is that the Philippines will
cost us a great deal more than they
will ever be worth to us. We have
agreed to pay Spain $20,000,000 to
retire from them, and we have also
agreed to pay the cost of sending the
Spanish troops in the islands to their
homes. It is pretty safe to say that
the Philippines have already cost us
$40,000,000, not counting the lives
that have been sacrificed there. And
yet our control in the islands is prac
tically confined to Manila.
GOVERNOR CANDLER ON EXPANSION.
In his address before the Atlanta
chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution at the exer
cises to celebrate Washington’s
birthday, last week at Craigie
house at the Exposition park, Gov
ernor Allen D. Candler took a firm
stand against this country acquiring
new territory.
Governor Candler’s speech was a
stirring one and loudly applauded by
all present. His remarks were fre
quently interrupted by applause, and
when he finished speaking, he was
cheered to the echo. Governor Can
dler prefaced his remarks by saying
that he had no intention of eulogizing
Washington, but that he intended
confining his remarks to the great
achievements of the father of this
country. After telling of Washing
ton’s ability as a soldier and states
man, he said that the suggestions
made by General Washington when
taking leave of his officers after the
revolutionary struggles were such, if
followed, as would make the success
of the infant republie a certainty.
“But we are disregarding those
wise counselings,” said Governor
Candler, “and we are making dan
gerous experiments in the matter of
extending our borders beyond the
seas. We are not holding the
ship of state to her original moor
ings, but are drifting into unknown
waters and untried seas. There is a
grave tendency to experiment—to
reach out for possessions that we
would do well to leave alone.
“If it be true that the beings of the
spirit world are capable of viewing
the deeds of the people of this day
and time, then I am sure the shade
of the immortal Washington must
have wept tears when it looked over
the battlements of heayen and saw
the American army firing upon those
who had struggled against the
tyrrany of Spain.”
Throughout his speech Governor
Candler repeatedly said that this
country was not doing wise in taking
to itself citizens that spoke another
language, had strange customs and
were certainly undesirable. He
went on to say that holding these
possessions, taken during the war
with Spain, the United States would
be compelled to keep up a large
standing army, and that such a step
was an unnecessary expense.
“A large standing army,” ssid he,
“is a dangerous thing to any country,
and before we are aware of the fact
a military government will stare us
in the face. We are on treacherous
ground and many grave dangers now
confront us.”
DEMOCRACY TAKES A STAND.
A caucus of Democratic members
of the house of representatives was
held Monday night for the purpose
of defining the position of the party
on the Philippine question. The
Georgia members were largely instru
mental in having the caucus called
and took an active part in the dis
cussions which followed. The caucus
was largely attended, and the feeling
was almost unanimous in favor of
the resolutions adopted. The fol
lowing preamble and resolution was
adopted:
“We hold that the constitution of
the United States was ordained and
established for an intelligent, liberty
loving and self governing people, and
cannot be successfully applied to a
people of different virtues and con
ditions. We, therefore, hold that a
colonial policy is contrary to the
theory of our government and sub
versive of those principles of civil
liberty which we have been taught
to cherish.
“We believe, with the declaration
of independence, that all govern
ments derive their just .powers from
the consent of the governed, and we
are unalterably opposed to the estab
lishment of any government by the
United States without the consent
of the people to be governed, and in
conformity with these principles we
instruct the minority members of the
foreign affairs committee to introduce
and urge the following resolution.
“Resolved, That the United States
hereby disclaim any disposition or
intention to exercise permanent sov
ereignty, jurisdiction or control over
the Philippine islands, and assert
their determination when an indepen
dant government shall have been
erected therein to transfer to said
government, upon terms which shall
be reasonable and just, all rights
secured under the cession of Spain,
and thereupon to leave the govern
ment and control of the islands to
their people.”
It is more than propable that the
Republicans will adopt the same line
of policy. If they do not, they will
be beaten at next election, unless the
Democrats again tie their necks to
the free silver millstone.
GERMANY ALL RIGHT NOW.
The German government has set
at rest effectually the rumors of a
purpose on its part, directly or indi
rectly, to embarrass the United
States in the Philippines and has
given a signal manifestation of its
desire to promote the most cordial
relations between Germany and the
United States by ordering the with
drawal of all vessels of its navy from
Philippine waters and placing the
lives and property of its subjects
there under the protection of the
United States government.
The action taken is regarded
as a stroke of diplomacy by which
will be removed all possibility of a
clash between German and American
interests in and about Manila and
notice to all the world, and especially
to any Americans who entertain any
suspicions of sinister designs by Ger
many, of the wish and purpose of the
German empire to cultivate the
friendship of the United States.
By it Germany at once places the
protection of all her large interests
in the islands almost completely in
our hands.
RULED OUT AS CITIZENS.
There were fifty Chinese on
Dewey’s vessels during the famous
fight of Manila Bay. They fought
like heroes, offering their blood and
lives for the Starsand Stripes. Nev
ertheless our magnanimous, grateful
nation will not permit them to set
foot upon its shores! Admiral
Dewey has written a letter to the
department respecting this matter,
and asking that in simple justice and
recognition of their services these
fifty Chinese be given permission to
come to this country if they desire
to do so. However, the law is man
datory, and the department cannot
grant the request of the admiral.
Any relief of the Chinese must come
through an act of Congress. Pre
sumably a bill in their interest will
be introduced; but it is to be expected
that some sand-lot demagogue will
raise objections and try to keep them
out.
Dewey Wants the Oregon.
Washington, Feb. 26.—Dewey’s
“hurry-up call” for the battleship
Oregon to be sent to him at once
caused the greatest apprehension
throughout the country to-day.
At the White House, the war and
navy departments, and at the capitol
the brief cablegram from the hero of
Manila, informing the Secretary of
the Navy that be needed the Oregon
for “political reasons” overshadowed
all other subjects.
Dewey’s dispatch was considered
at the cabinet meeting, and it was
freely discussed at the capitol. The
general interpretation put upon it is
that Admiral Dewey realizes that he
needs reinforcements at once, in
anticipation of threatened or possible
foreign interference in behalf of the
Filipinos.
It is the prevailing opinion here
that the situation is more serious in
Manila than is indicated in the closely
censored dispatches, and the war and
navy departments are “wide open”
to-night, anxiously looking for some
more definite information from either
Dewey or Otis.
In the meantime, the conservatives
are not indulging in crimination and
recrimination, but are seriously ask
ing “when will we see the end of this
unfortunate Philippine transaction?”
Result of Cold Wave.

* * Dr. Delaperriere Robbed
1 Tuesday night robbers entered the
more of Dr. W. P. Delaperriere of Hosch
ton, blew his safe onen, and robbed it of
SBSO. The explosion was beard about 1
o’clock and many people were aroused
from their slumbers, but could not locate
it and again fell asleep, as it was not
repeated.
t The safe is a complete wreck. The
Jdoors were blown several feet
and the office completely demolished.
A hole was bored in the side of the safe
and it is thought that no less than three
four pounds of powder were poured
mco it.
nights ago a safe was blown
e le» eQ ’ n th® little town of Winterville,
.ear Athens but no money was procured.
,0 8<>me goods were taken from the store,
ojkmoag which was a pair of gloves. It
.'•developed later that the gloves were sold
•co Tom Shackelford, near Bellmont.
-This would indicate that the robbers who
blew open the safe at Winterville had
; come across the country and reached
the G. J. & S. road and had gone to
Hoschton, and that they were pro
fessionals. On the other hand, the
drill brace and other tools used to bore
into Dr. Delaperriere’s safe were stolen
from Mr. Morris’ black-smith shop in
Hoschton. It would seem that pro
fessionals would have their tools with
them, but a professional might steal
tools and leave them in order to disarm
suspicion.

iASH YOUR
i BOCTMI
I Ask your physician this ques
i tion, “What is the one great
1 remedy for consumption?” H
j He will answer, “Cod-liver
I oil.” Nine out of ten will
| answer the same way.
* Yet when persons have
i consumption they loathe all
| fatty foods, yet fat is neces-
•! sary for their recovery and ..
| they cannot take plain cod
i liver oil. The plain oil dis- ;
| turbs the stomach and takes
f away the appetite. The dis
| agreeable fishy odor and
I taste make it almost unen
-9 durable. What is to be done?
| This question was ans
| wered when we first made
I scorns
EMULSION
s
1 of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypo
s phosphites. Although that
1 was nearly twenty-five years
j ago, yet it stands alone to
= day the one great remedy
; for all affections of the throat
j and lungs.
f The bad taste and odor have been
? taken away, the oil itself has been ;
| partly digested, and the most sen
| sitive stomach objects to it rarely, i
| Not one in ten can take and digest
2 the plain oil. Nine out of ten can •
I take SCOTTS EMULSION and di-
| gest it That’s why it cures so ;;
I many cases of early consumption.
Even in advanced cases it brings
< comfort and greatly prolongs life.

Road Notice.
Gainesvilli, Ga., Feb. 20, 1899.
Whereas certain petitioners have made their
application to the Board of Commissioners
praying for an order granting the establish
ment of a new road, commencing at the branch
on the old Stringer’s Ford road, near the resi
dence of D. C. Whelchel’s and intersecting
with the Dahlonega road near Jasper M. Hul
sey’s residence, all in Whelchel’s district, and
whereas Commissioners appointed for that pur
pose have reviewed and marked out said con
templated road, and reported to us that said
road will be one of much public utility and con
venience; now this is to cite and admonish all
persons that on and after the 20th day of March,
1899, said new road will be granted if no good
cause is shown to the contrary.
Given under our hand and seals this 20th day

Tribute of Respect.
Whereas God, in His wisdom, bas seen
fit to call from our midst to Elis kingdom
above, on Feb. 25, 1899, our friend and
co-worker, Mrs. G. E. Gardner, whose
life and walk among us was a beautiful
example of patience and conscientious
faithfulness to duty;
Be it resolved, first, that we, as a body
of teachers, have had to part with one of
our most efficient and faithful members,
and that we cherish her memory and
emulate her example.
Second, that we, the teachers, and on
the behalf of the pupils of the city pub
lic schools, extend ?ur heartfelt sym
pathy to her bereaved family iu this
hour of unspeakable sonow, and pray
that the hand of our Heavenly Father
may be laid in gracious healing upon
their broken hearts, that the Holy One
may abide with them in comforting in
fluence, and that the sunshine of His
wonderful presence may brighten the
present sad separation by the sure prom
ise of reunion with their beloved mother
in the land where suffering and death
are unknown.
Third, that a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the city papers and to the be
reaved family, and that they be inscribed
in our minutes.

After the Grip—What?
You thought you bad th a best of the
grip and you determined to wear it off;
but somehow it does not wear off as you
expected. You pass restless, sleepless
uights and get up in the morning feeling
more exhausted then when you retired.
You are irritable and uervous and have
no appetite for your food. You go
about in a listless, half hearted sort of
way, and everything you undertake to do
seems to go wrong. Do you know that
you are on the verge of nervous prostra
tion? You need help; aud you need it
more now than you did when the grip
was at its worst.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine is the best medicine
you can get to build up your shattered
nerves and restore your wasting strength.
It invariably insures sound sleep aud
gives the over struug nerves their nat
ural rest. It makes the appetite keen,
facilitates the digestion, gives healthful
vitality to the nerves and restores
health.
“I was nervous, restless, irritable and
rltogetber out of sorts. It was impossi
ble to get my natural sleep and I became
so week and exhausted that I could not
leave my bed. Finally I commenced tak
ing Dr. Miles’ Nervine aud I begau to
improve from the first dose. In a short
time my health was completely restored.”
Mrs. Dow Heagle,
Sing Sing, N. Y.
A trial package of Dr. Miles’ favorite
treatment for the grip, consisting of Dr.
Miles’ Nervine, Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain
Pills and Dr. Miles Nerve and Livci Pills,
will be sent absolutely free of cost to any
person sending name and address on a
postal card, requesting the samples, and
mentioning the name of this paper. Ad
