Why Our Dutyf
The newspapers which are the most ag
gressive in urging the President to hold
on lo the Philippines assert that it is
our duty to do so. Why our duty? They
.lo not give reasons In support of their
position which are at all satisfactory.
\\. .ire under no obligation to the peo
ple of the Philippines. We have not ob
structed their efforts to release themselves
from the yoke of Spain. On the contrary,
we have assisted them greatly.
They do not want to come under our
protection, and they are rlearly not able
to govern themselves. But, if we should
help them to free themselves from Span
ish rule, the civilized world would hold
us responsible for good government in
til" islands. Good government could be had
only by ibe exercise of authority by us.
Ale should have to take possession of the
islands, and Admiral Dewey says it
would lake an army of 158,000 men to do
so. That means to establish the author
ity of our government over Ihe I’hilip
ninos would cost thousands of the lives
of our young men and hundreds of mil
lions of dollars of our money.
And when we had established our au
thority what iietter would we be off as a
nation than we will be if we get a coal
ing station and the commercial privileges,
which, it is understood, have been de
manded'.’ x\s a matter of fact we would
not be so wed off, because we should have
great and costly responsibilities without
any greater commercial advantages than
we- shall insist upon in our settlement
with Spain.
No duty devolves upon us to conquer
and civilize the natives of the Philip
pines. It is doubtful if they could be
brought to accept our laws and institu
tions. We might exterminate them, as
we have Ihe Indians, and people the
country with another race, but those who
say it is our duty to hold on to the Phil
ippines would not admit that they mean
we should adopt that method of estab
lishing our authority in the islands.
There is no foundation for the assertion
that duty requires us to hold on to the
Philippines. There are, however, strong
reasons for saying that our duty to our
selves requires us to withdraw from the
Philippines. AVe have no constitutional
right to undertake the government of the
people ol the Philippines without their
consent, and that there is no possibility
of our getting. Besides, Cuba and Porto
Rico will present troublesome questions
enough for us to settle without going on
the other side of the world ill search of
questions of that sort. Expansion is not
growth. The United States with the Phil
ippines on their hands would be larger,
but not stronger. They would be weak
er, and, besides, by entering upon a co
lonial policy a blow will be struck at the
republic.
They Want Revenge.
In our dispatches yesterday it was stat
ed that Gen, Aides had great difficulty in
preventing the I’orto Ricans from at
tacking and killing the volunteers of the
Spanish army who had given up their
arms and announced their purpose to
abandon the Spaniards. This was not be
cause the volunteers hail deserted the
Spanish army, but because they ha.l been
a part of that army and had helped to
oppress the people.
Of itself this statement of Gen. Miles is
of no great importance, but it shows the
feeling between the native Porto Ricans
and the Spaniards and those who sympa
thize with the Spaniards. The same thing
is true in Cuba. There the Cubans hate
the Spaniards and all who sympathize
with them. This feeling of hate is not
the growth of a day. It is the growth
of centuries, the product of misrule. It
will be a long time before the loyalist
and insurgents in Cuba and Porto Rico
will live together in i>oaca and harmony.
That is the reason principally why it will
lie imiKisstble for tiie Cubans to estab
lish and maintain a stable government
for a good many years. The outlook now
is that we sjmll have to provide a gov
ernment in both Cuba and Porto Rico for
a much longer time than was expected
when we notified the Spaniards that they
must get out of Cuba.
Injustice to the Georgia' Pencil.
It is stated in the N.ew A'ork papers that
Georgia peaches are sold in the New A'ork
market as Delaware peaches. Of course
the commission merchants do not attempt
io deceive the public. The deception is
practiced only by the grocers, keepers of
fruit stands and push-cart men. The Del
aware peach has such a splendid reputa
tion that dealers hope* to make better
sales by representing the beautiful and
lueious peaches now on the market as be
ing from Delaware. The fact, however,
that they are from Georgia cannot be
kept from the knowledge of the public
very long. Tills year probably will be suf
ficient to establish the reputation of the
Georgia peach. The fact will Ik- recogniz
ed that Georgia produces the best peaches
in the world. It io doubtful if Delaware,
even In her palmiest days, ever produced
such large, lueious and beautiful peaches
as those which Georgia has sent to mar
ket this year. It is a pity that the grow
ers have not received belter prices for
them. The Delaware and New Jersey
peaches will soon be in market, but the
crop from those stales will not be a large
one. It is stated that the Delaware crop
will not lie more than about 16 per cent,
of an average crop, and that the yield of
the New Jersey orchards will be compar
atively small. Undoubtedly the coming
great peach slate is Georgia. AA'ithin a
very few years the state's average year
ly output of peaches will be double what
it is now.
Out of the goodness of his heart, and for
humanitarian reasons. Admiral Dewey
ought to signal Augustl the news from
Santiago and Rorto Rico and Cadiz. The
Spanish captain general at Manila may
lx still bolstering his spirits with the hoi>e
that Camara will shortly arrive to his re
lief. If he were put in possession of the
whole truth, he would probably see the
hopelessness of continuing the struggle.
The New York World prints a picture

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, IS9S.
The Troop* at Miami.
It his tx f n announced that the troops
at Miami, 1 i., are to tie sent to some
place while the health conditions are
more satisfactory. In considering this
Aliami camp, the question arises, why
were troops sent there at all? That ques
tion has been asked a groat many times,
and as yet we have seen no answer to it.
It would seem as If Ihe Secretary of
AVar would pause long enough in the dis
charge of his duties to satisfy an anxious
public in respect to that matter. Was it
his purpose to have the 7.500 troops sent
to Miami to become accustomed to sond
flies and mosquitoes? If so he ought to
say so. Probably nowhere else in this
country are there two pests so numerous
and venomous as they are on the south
ern part of the east coast of Florida.
And the health of the troops at Miami
has not been, and is not now, good. There
has been, and is. from all accounts, a
great deal of fever there, principally
typhoid.
But why were troops sent to Miami?
That is the question which the whole
country would like to have answered? If
there was a good reason for sending them
there thi war department ought to have
no hesitation in giving it.
The cost of sending them there from
Jacksonville and bringing them back, to
gether with tiie cost of transporting sup
plies for them, will not fall far short of
a quarter of a million of dollars. That
is a pretty big sura of money to pay, for
what? Let the Secretary of War answer.
There was never a thought that troops
could be put aboard of transports at
Afiami. There is not sufficient water there
to accommodate ships used in transport
ing troops. When the soldiers were sent
there it was known of course that they
would have to be brought back to some
!*>rt from which they could embark, if
sent out of the country. Therefore the
sending of troops there is all the more
inexplicable. If the Secretary of AVar
does not explain soon why troops were
sent there he will have to do so later on
or else the administration will be saddled
with something approaching a scandal,
because the states which have troops
there will not be satisfied until they know
tiie reason why their regiments were sent
to Aliami.
A Ixissim for the I’euolt Grower*.
The peach growers of this state have had
n opportunity this year t" leam a De
son, which, if heeded, will be of the
greatest benefit to them. The lesson is
this; In order to get the best results from
theTr peach crops there must be
factories established for canning
peaches. An immense quantity of
la-aches has been lost this year be
cause all of the markets of the country
have been overstocked. In some of the
markets to which peaches were sent, the
supply was so abundant that prices fell
below the profit point. It is said that
some growers will lose a quarter, if not
a third, of their crop. They realize that
it would be folly to send peaches to mar
ket when they would not bring enough
to pay freight charges. Another mistake
that growers have made, but one which
can be easily corrected, is that of not hav
ing crates enough prepared before the
crop is ready for shipment to meet the
demand of their crops. The mistake res
ecting crates, however, is a minor one.
The factor in peach growing which de
mands immediate attention is that relat
ing to canning factories. They are ab
solutely indispensable to the success of
peach growing. When the crop is email
they can be operated on a less expensive
scale, and when the crop is unusually
large, as it is this year, they are abso
lutely necessary to make the crop protit-
It would not be advisable, of course,
for every grower to have a factory. The
owner of a large orchard should have a
factory of hie own, but there should be
central factories throughout the peach
districts for the benefit of small growers.
Another thing in connection with peach
growing should not be overlooked. It is
that there is much profit in drying peaches.
For dried peaches there is always a de
mand, and the prices received for them
are generally good.
This season's experience with peaches
has set the peach growers to thinking.
They understand now that big as this
country Is, it cannot absorb all the ix'aciies
Georgia can furnish in a good peach year
during the short season in which the fruit
must be marketed. Therefore the crop
must be distributed over the whole year.
The part of the crop which cannot be
marketed during the season must be can
ned and dried. In that way fair prices
may be obtained for the whole crop.
It is now practically certain that the
Infanta Maria Teresa will be saved and
added to the Americurmnavy. It will be
necessary that she have a name and a
commander after she has become a Yankee
ship. It would be poetic or rather roman
tic justice to name her Santiago, after the
first American city in Cuba, and place in
command of her Llout. Hobson of Ala
bama, who performed a most brilliant
and daring feat during the operations
against the Spanish fleet, and who is now
giving his best efforts to an attempt to
add the defeated craft to the American
navy. The Teresa was a fine and formid
able craft, and can be made so again. In
deed, the Americans will make her better
ihan she ever was, and with an American
crew on board she would be a fighter
among the best of them. Hobson rates
the vessel as a second-class buttle ship,
according to the rule of rating In our
navy. She has ten to twelve-inch steel
armor on her sides, and nine-inch armor
on her turrets. She mounted two 11-lnch
guns, ten s'j-inch rapid fleers, eight 6-
pounders and twenty smaller guns, besides
eight torpedo tubes.
An effort is to be made, as soon ns Con
gress convener, to have a law passed to
raise the strength of the regular army to
not less than 60,000 men, and possibly 100,-
u)0. Adjutant General Corbin says that the
latter number is what the country ought
to have, since it is ussured that It will
lie necessary to keep troops In Cuba and
Porto Rico for some lime to conic, while
it is very probable that we shall have to
have an army in the Philippines, and pos
sibly some Hoops in Hawaii, for un in
definite period, ,
One of the qiK-er spectacles of the times
is to see Senatcw Mason of Illinois, ram
pant Republican, and Senator Jones of
Arkansas, equally rampant Democrat,
standing shoulder to shoulder on a ques
tion of national policy. Senator Mason
Is opposed to Imperialism, tie would not
hove the American flag hoisted over any
unwilling people, and does not wish the
Philippines retained by this country. He
believes that the just powers of govern
ment are derived only from the consent
of the governed. Ar.d that is precisely
where Senator Jones stands.
Since Dewey's victory one rarely sees
“the name of the capital of the Philippines
spc-lled “Manilla,” as used to be the cus
tom and as most of Ihe dictionaries have
it. Did the American 8-lnch shells knock
out one of those “i’B?" There was never
really any use for both of them. The
English language, however, is full of
words containing useless letters. It would
be worth the money cost of a small war
to have all of the extra letters shot out
of the language.
Gen. Miles’ dispatches are admirable.

complished, and leave the strategy board
guessing at what he will probably do next.
PERSONAL.
—Mr. Gladstone was one of the very few
men who, not being Frenchmen, occupied
the position of member of the Institute of
France. Only four persons are now liv

distinction, one of them being the leader
of the Spanish Republican parly, Senor
Emilio Castelar.
—Capt. Robert Powell Page Wainwright
of the First United States Cavalry, who

cal steamer Forward, and a brother of
the well known actress, Marie Wain
wright.
—The monument to Pasteur, which is to
be erected in Paris in the space in front
of the Pantheon, is now almost completed.
In the original design Pnsteur was simply
represented as overcoming death, which
was in the act of flight. Now a group of
a mother with her child thanking Pasteur
has been added on the right, while be
hind the central figure Fame is shown
crowning him with laurels.
—ln order that she might become heiresß

CURRENT COMMENT.
Some American Hidalgo*.
From the Wilmington (N. C.) Star (Dem.).
The Spanish word Hidalgo means “the
son of somebody.” We have a number of
Hidalgos slowed away on soft berths in
tiie United States army.
Wlint Surprised Spain Mo*t.
From the Houston (Tex.) Post (Dem.).
The greatest surprise yet' sprung on
Spain in this war is not our fighting ca
pacity, but our humane treatment of pris
oners. This simply paralyzes the dons.
We seem to tie an incomprehensible lot to
the whole of Europe.
Spaninli Grit.
From Memphis Commercial-Appeal (Dem)
Give the devil his due. The Spaniards
ar> exhibiting a stoical indifference to
disaster and marvelous faith in them
selves. Had one-third the American navy
been sent to the bottom at Manila and an
other third at Santiago; had Commodore
Schley, with 1,500 marines, been taken to
the Isle of Pines; had Gen. Lee, with 22,000
soldiers, been forced to surrender, and
had Charleston and Baltimore fallen into
the hands of the enemy, it is doubtful
whether or not this country would show
equal firmness in adversity. Of course,
this country is not going to suffer any
such disasters.
The Philippine Question
From the Baltimore News (Dem.).
The control of the Philippines as a de
pendency to be ruled from Washington
is so foreign to the general spirit and ob
ject of our Union that it is likely to exer
cise a most deleterious Influence upon our
politics; und it has not been shown that
tHeir possession would be likely to east any
considerable benefit of any kind ujion the
people of this country. We are not under
such obligations to the hordes of Agui
naldo, or to the other inhabitants of the
islands, as to call for a continuance of the
war with Sp dn, and the danger of„en
hroilment with other European powers,
and the assumption of a permanent bur
den in the shape of the governing of
them. A proposition to Spain can be de
vised, we bobeve, which shall plainly In
dicate that we do not propose asking, in
the final terms of peace, for possession of
tiie Philippine Islands, but that we do
intend io insist upon effective guarantees
of humanity and improvement. Then, if
Spain rejects our overtures, it will be time
to tliipk of assuming the task of taking
the Philippines and shouldering the re
sponsibility of keeping them in order after
we have got them.
ITKHS OP INTEREST.
—A new method of preserving wood from
decay, known as the Haskin process, is
being tried on a large scale in Egland. In
stead of withdrawing the sap and inject
ing creosote or some other antiseptic stil>-
st.ince, as is usually done, Mr. Haskin
suomlis te wood to gr.pcrneated air, un lcr
a pressure of fourteen atmospheres. By
this process. It is averred, the sap is chem
ically changed into a powerful antiseptic
mixture, which, by consol Mating with the
finer, strengthens as well as preserves the
wood.
—The observations of earth currents at
Greenwich observatory, according to an
exchange, have been tnade practically use
less for several years by the electric rail
way from Stoekwell to London, modern
Instruments being so sensitive that indi
cations of the current of this railway have
been detected more than 100 miles away.
An early effect of the railway led to a
funny experience. The generating station
was visited by the magnetic superintend
ent of the observatory, and on his return
to work the tracings of his magnets show
ed u curious deflection, which continued
day after day, but only during the hours
of his attendance. The idea that he was
magnetized was a startling one. But one
day, he left his umbrella at home and
there was no disturbance, the umbrella
having been a permanent magnet since the
visit to the power station.
—The latest development of the use of
acetylene s on the medical side. It has
been employed, says Invention, in the
treatment of the terrible disease known as
cancer, and, it is said, with results which
have not only been highly satisfactory so
far, but which almost seem to Indicate
that an actual cure for the complaint has
been discovered. The importance of this
cannot be overestimated. There appears,
nr least, to be no doubt that acetylene is
tne most efficient agent against cancer
known at present. The method of its ap
p'i ation is perfectly simple: The cancer
ous surface is coated with carbide of cal
cium and then moistened all over with
water. Acetylene is at once evolved in
contact with thd diseased tissues. The ap
plication can. Of course, be renewed at
pleasure! A burning sensation is felt by
the patient and the symptoms are immedi
ately abated. A specific for cancer would,
no doubt, stamp out in time one of our
most formidable maladies, and there is at
least hope that it has now been found.
—Queen Victoria is the first sovereign of
England who ever had anything to leave,
says the The Chautauqua. All of her pre
decessors upon the throne bequeathed fine
assortments of debts to their posterity',
which Parliament was called upon to pay,,
and while Victoria permitted the people
to be taxed to settle the private obliga
tions of her uncles, George IV, and Wil
liam IV., she herself paid the debts of
her father, the Duke of Kent, with full
interest, and has several times settled the
liabilities of the Prince of Wales to the
extent of several millions of dollars. There
is a great deal of gossip and specula
tion in England as to the disposition the
Queen has made of her immense property.
The bulk of ii will undoubtedly go to the
Prince of Wales, and it Is supposed that
her beet estates are entailed upon her
successors with the condition that they
shall never be mortgaged or alienated in
any way. It is also assumed that the
palace at Osborne and a liberal amount
of 'ponds and leases will be left to her
favorite daughter, the Princess Beatrice,
who is also expecting to inherit the for
tune of Empress Eugenie, whose son, the
ill-fated Prince Imperial, was to have
been her husband. Princess Louise, the
wife of the Marquis of Lome, has no
children, and her husband will inherit the
immense estates of the Duke of Argyll,
so that she will be well provided for.
—However lacking in intelligence the na
tives of the Philippines generally may be,
they could not with truth be characterized
as savages, says the Review of Review's.
There are in the Philippines be
tween 6,000,000 and 0,000,000 people,
probably about 7,500,000. Nearly halt"
this number inhabit Luzon, the principal
island of the group. The Tagals of Lu
zone are a copper colored people, and,
like all people of the Malay family, are
short of stature. These Tagals are the
most advanced and influential element
in the whole population of the islands.
There are a great many very intelligent
and ambitious men among them—men
who got their start in the schools estab
lished by the monastic friars, whose po
litical domination furnishes one of the
many grievances which have given rise
to the present insurrection. The Tagals
are as industrious aa the Chinese and
Japanese, and more easily controlled and
less criminally disposed than the latter.
That they are entirely amenable to dis
cipline when they have confidence in arid
respect for their leaders and advisers is
evidenced by the fact that for over a year
Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, their acknowl
edged leader, was able to maintain good
order and comparatively good discipline
among his 40,000 to 50,000 followers, and
under circumstances where chaos and
disorder would be the most natural con
ditions. I am not a sentimentalist, not
the sort of man to go into ecstaeles of de
light over the profuse politeness and ko
towing of the Japanese, but I have ob
served in the leading men and women
a charmingly courteous manner. Such
characteristics as rudeness, assumption or
boisterousness are entirely lacking i.n their
temperament.
—Here ore some amusing particulars of
legacies with strange conditions attached,
as given by the Brooklyn Citizen. Early
last year a peculiar probate suit, involving
some $500,000, was imminent, the disin
herited relations wishing to upset an old
gentleman’s will because he had left the
sum named to found and endow a church
on the condition that every Sunday before
liie service the whole of the thirty-nine
articles were to be read by the clergyman
outside the church door. A strange condi
tion was attached to the legacy of the late
Sir Edward Bates, who died last year, left
to his married daugnter. He stated that he
had seen his son-in-law's Scotch property,
and lie stated he considered it would be a
gross injury to his daughter and her chil
dren, considering ‘There are no neighbors
within miles, and there is no medical man
within six or seven miles,” if she lived
there any considerable time. So he ar
ranged that, if his daughter stayed more
than six months in any year, "and those
six months not in winter,” at the spot, the
income derived from the legacy for the
twelve succeeding months should go to the
residuary legatee. During this year a gen
tleman who died at Mons left a legacy of
$3,000 to five friends, the money to be spent
on dinners served In different restaurants,
and at each meal a certain dish to bo
eaten, and a certain wine, of which he
was very fond, to be drunk. Furthermore,
Ids memory was to be toasted at dessert,
the live companions weTe to dine In black
clothes and gloves, and enter the room pre
ceded by u flag and the music of an uc
cordeon. A wealthy gentleman recently
left his son a large fortune on the condi
tion that he shall visit every country in
the world, and wlrle a book on what he
six s. This work is lo be submitted to pro
fessors ol Bonn and Hld lberg Universi
ties. and If in their opinion it is dull and
stupid and badly written, the heir has
either to write it over again or lose the
fortune. Some years ago In France a
maiden lady died who hud been for many
years a habitual snuff-taker. She left di
rections In her will that her coffin was to
lie filled with tobacco, that the mortuary
chamber was to be carpeted with it, and
that tobacco was to be-scattered tx'fore the
hearse that conveyed her to the cete
tery.
Whole Family Cured of
SKIN HUMORS
t
My wife had on her limbs five small pimples
that began to enlarge, developing into eating
ulcers, which, despite efforts to cure them,
grew worse, eating to the bone. With two
bottles of CtmcvuAßesolvent, one box of
Cuticura (ointment), and one cake of Cuti
ci'RA Soap, she was ctjred in two months.
I was afflicted with papular rash, from
which l could not rest day or night. My skin
became in a very bad fix. Cuticuba Reme
dies cured me in one month.
My baby girl was afflicted with Eczema, her
limbs from her knees down were one solid
gore from which she suffered greatly. With
CrticukA Remedies there was a complete
cure. A. A. McLARTY, J. P., Winn, Ga.
