splendidly shown In the success which
has come to the Japanese arms during
the past week, and. Indeed, during the
entire war with Russia. The ‘‘little
brown men” have been imbued with
a spirit which knows no such word
as fail. They have “put their hand
to the plowshare, and have not looked
back, though it cut through the
hearths of the living and the graves
of the dead.” They have entered ev
ery engagement with a determination
to do or die, and It has been that re
sistless force which has driven the
Russians from hill to hill and from
pass to pass until the Russian army
is now forced 10 flee for Its very exist
ence.
There Is no one who has kept up
with this war who will doubt for a
moment the bravery of the Russian
soldiers. In defiance of death. In the
hand to hand grapp.'es, in their
charges against the enemy and in
their conduct under showers of shot
and shell, they have shown up about
as heroic as their plucky antagonists,
but the difference comes in the pow
er of endurance and the ability to
keep going forward In spite of oddf.

Tom Watson ought to devote the

whya and wherefores of his recent
small vote for the presidency—how it
was that the once proud party of Pop

teucy was overwhelmingly
ted with the holy himself as
position, careless of danger and even
defying death.
It Is that sort of spirit that wins
in every encounter. The man who
fights splendidly for awhile may be all
right in the short struggle, but it is
the man who never gives up who
wins the fight in the end. It takes
extraordinary ‘grit" to battle against
the oddfi that spring up along life’s
highway some times, and few are the
men who are able to seal their lips
and go forward In the fight when
there is little hope of.success. But
these are the men whose names shine
out like mountain peaks along the
history of time. The men who have
accomplished most and whose lives
hive sweetened the earth and
brought about Its greatest develop
ment are the men who have pinned
their faith to a star and have not
turned to Jho. rlghUlitefc until tne
goal was reached.
For the past four or five days the
little Japanese have hardly stopped to
eat or drink—marching and fighting,
day and night, sacrificing thousands,
tout pressing onward. No wonder the
reports tell us that they have Kuropat-
kin surrounded and may force him to
surrender. The Japs have cut the
word "fail” out of their lexicon, and
the Russians will not bo able to con
quer them until they do as they said
they would do—"fasten the last one
of them to the point of a bayonet and
throw them into the sea.”
THE MOST C08TLY CONGRESS.
A few years ago a "Billion Dollar
Congress" caused Czar Reed to say
that "we are living in a billion dollar
country" and the remark was used
with telling effect against the Repub
lican party, which wns then iu power.
Up to that time, a billion was regard-
d as a mighty big pile of money, and,
ven for a number of years afterward,
that sum was regarded as the utmost
limit of congressional expenditures for
congress. But the Fifty eighth
congress, whl-h adjourned last Fri
day night, not only passed the bil’lon
dollar mark, but e\en went beyond
the billion and a half mark, with as
little rovard for the3e flgires as
though the money were to be gath
ered from the trees. It may be re
membered, too, that this was an eco
nomical congress—so economical. In
fact, that tho hill to appropriate about
ten million dollars for urgent public
buildings, was not even considered.
The congress just ended made ap
propriations at Its first session of a
little more than $7S1,000,000. The au
thorized expenditures for the s«>cond
session, as compiled by the clerks af
ter the adjournment foots up not
quite $82b,000,000. This gives a grand
total of $1,610,000,000, or to spell it
out—one billion, six hundred and ten
million—or about one bilhou more
cf money than*was required to run
the government when Grove.* Cleve
land was elected president twenty
ago. We held up our
In holy horror when our
billion dollar congress
announced. "Whither Are
Drifting ’ Was the ominous
heading of editorials in the most con
servative papers in the land, and cam
paign orators took up the cry as their
r;ost effective slogan.
The figures of the recent appropria
tions are almost appalling when com
pared with the expenditures by other
congresses. They exceed the expen
ditures of the Fifty-fifth congress by
more than $31,000,000* and that con
gress had to provide for the extraordi
nary expenses of the Spanlsh-Amori-
can war. It may be remembered, too,
that the revenues which were raised
to meet the former expenses were col
lected by means ot an extra stamp tax
levied in various ways and upon va
rious articles, to meet the deficiency
which would arise from the Regular
revenue-raising duties, while ^
government has only the oulnary
sources of revenue to rely nij|n to
meet tho bills which congress ifts au
thorived. The appropriations which
have been authorized for the next
year, according to the statisticians,
means a decficlt of about $93,000,000,
which, however, is offset by the $141,
000,000 in the treasury, which is far
in excess of what the secretary of the
treasury regards a.i “safe and
cure.”
The defendtrs of this record of na
tional extravagance will point to the
initial work upon the Panama canal
and to the enormous growth of the
country to justify the expenditures,
but the fact of the matter Is that the
legitimate items do not make up the
vast bulk of the sum. "Graft" is
written all ove.* the Republican admin
istration, and it is these small items,
such as private tension bills and
"pork barrel” measures that make up
the mighty total of Republican extra
vagance. The river and harbor appro
priations were not unusually large aji
the last session, and there was no ap
propriation either for buildings or for
repairs upon the government bull#
togs. The army and navy budget and
the pensions claims were the great
est items in the total amount of ex
penditures, and yet they hardly ex
ceeded a half a Million dollars.
The record which the Republicans
have made In their appropriations de
stroys every shadow of hope for tar
iff reform from that party. With the
deficiency which will accrue before
the next regular session of congress,
the question of Increased revenues
will como up and the burden of na
tional taxation will bear more heavily
upon the people's necks. No 111 ef
fects of this extravagance will be felt
while the money is being spent, but
when tho day of final reckoning comes
—when accounts have to be balanced
—our nation may have to repent of
Its folly, even os the young man did
who wasted h's substance in riotous
living.

The following tribute to Hon. C. R.
Pendleton, formerly of this city, but
now editor of The Macon Telegraph,
is from the pea ol Rev. 8am Small,

known Mr. Pendleton best will recog
nize in it not only a brilliant picture
drawn by a literary artist, but a trib

way worthy.^ A stronger eulogy has

far and holds weight. No editor in
the state has obtained since the war—
not even Henry Grady—the reputation
for solid and enduring common sense
and nobly-cast patriotism that is ac
corded to Col. Pendleton. He does not
belong to the "old line" journalists of
his order, perhaps, but he is at the
head of the new line of like-minded
men, among whom are Grubb, of Da

whose company we would ourselves

THE TATE APPOINTMENT.
The appointment of Carter Tate
district attorney for tho Northern dis
trict of Georgia has caused somec
fusion among the Republican machine
in Georgia, because the appointment
as not made at tho machine's bid
ding. Some Democrats, as well as
Republicans, are trying to see in it
a change ol heart on the part of the
president toward the people of
South
While a member of congress,
Tate supported a number of the
president’s measures and It was gen
erally understood that he was a great
admirer of Roosevelt His appoint
ment therefore, to the position of dis
trict attorney may be taken as a re
ward for services rendered or be
cause of his friendly attitude toward
the president. It was expected that
the president would appoint some
white man to this position and there
is no reason for surprise that tu
should have appointed a man, ever
though a Democrat, who had bfen his
friend. <
Of course, we do not take ,4he ap
pointment to mean that the president
