Is Now In Macon-
MaCo.v (K, April 10—Cm.mel 1 a
rick Henry Riy’s regiment of im
mune*, which has been in Cuba for
iimntliw, arrived lain Stv.omali jex
teiJay afternoon, where it h i.- been in
quarantine for I lie past week The
first section reached the city via the
Georgia Southern and Florida railroad
at 2 :<>o o\ luck. The o&ier ei.<ti"Lß
arrived at intervals ol twenty minutes.
The soldiers alighted from the cars
al the foot of Pine street, near the
union passenger depot, and there was
a great crowd ol citizens to greet the
first section, wbicb was increased as
tbe other sections arrived- The re
turned immums were greeted by hud
cheering, and were given most cordial
greeting-
The men are de igii.ed to react,
Macon once again. 1 hey have bad
severe experience in Cuba, and many
of them bear the traces of sickness and
exposure, but many, a'so, are looking
well. Colonel Kay appea-s to be in
excellent health Many ol the im
niunes are citiz, ns of Macon, while
hundreds come from counties con
tiguous to Bibb Colonel Ray’s regi
ment has seen more war service and
experienced greater hardship than any
of the four regiments that were or
ganized in this state and enlisted in
the American-Spanish war. Colonel
Ray is an old army soldier. He came
to Macon last June to raise a regi
ment. He exhibited no fuss and
feathers, but went at once to hard
work, and soon raised tbe regiment.

Rev. H W. Williams, pastor of the
Baptist church at Elberton, arrived
in the city this morning and will as
sist in the meetings at the Baptist

evening services hue been changed to
7 :45 o’clock, and all should be prompt
jn attendance, as none will profit by
missing tbe excellent music.

MR BRYAN S CONSISTENCY
s' His Recent Actions Will Not Strength
en His Party in 1900
* Ihe refusal of Mr. Bryan to accept
the invitation t>> the Jefferson birth
day dinner of the Democratic Club ol
New York and his acceptance of invi
tations to two other Jeffersonian din
ners in that city are ngarded by hie
friends as evidence of his consistency
on the silver question and of his devo
tion to any cause which he has become
convinced is right. It is probable that
his convictions are deep-seated ana
that be would rather be right than be
President, but there are those never
theb'ss v. bo pretend to belies .■ that he
is more concerned about being renom
inated in 1900 than he is about any of
tbe principles on which the campaign
was fought in 1890
V\ e believe that Mr Bryan is a very
sincere man, but we cannot help
thinking that the issue he raised with
the Democratic Club in New York,
and the issue which was raised in the
municipal election of Chicago will not
tend to strengthen the Democratic
party in the campaign of 1900. Tbe
aim should be it seems to us, to unite
T»
factions of it wider apart. There is
no need to antagonize those Democrats
who do not see their way clearly to
approve every plank ol the Chicago
plaforrn, though willing to support
the platform and ticket, which will be
nominated next jear; nor is there any
occasion fur reading out of tbe party
men like Carter Harrison, who has
announced that he is in favor of free
silver coinage
We do not agree with those who
think Mr. Bryan in.ists that those
who do not accept every plank of the
Chicago platform, are not D-mocrats,
becau j e he sees clearly that if that
platform is not reaffirmed he will not
be renominated. He probably does
see that, but hie course is not con
trolled by that knowledge. He insists
trpon Democrats being measured by
that platform probably because be be
lieves that by inculcating deep-rented
convictions in respect to its principles
the chances of tbe Democratic party
for success in 1900 will be greatly in
creased. That is why he doesn’t want
to associate with the gold standard
Democrats of New York.
But it doesn’t follow tl.at for that
reason the assistance of the gold stand’
ard Democrats should be refused in
the campaign next year. The presence
of that faction io the party will not
prevent the majority of Democrats—
those who control-the party—from
having deep-aeated convictions in re
spect to silver. Samuel J. Randall, a
distinguished 1 Lmocrat, difl'ered from
his party on the tariff question, and a
large faction of Democrats agreed with
him, but their presence in tbe party
didn’t weaken it.
We give Mr. Bryan credit for sin
cerity in turning his palms towards
those Democrats who don't approve
everything in the Chicago platform.
We don’t believe that he is influenced
in taking that attitude by the belief
that if that platform is modified his
chances for a re-nomination will dis
appear, but we believe the effort he
and the Democratic national commit
tee are making to discredit all Demo
crats who do not toe the Chicago plat
form mark will not help the party to
win the election next year.—Savannah

To be bound band and foot for years

form of slavery. George I) Williams,
of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a

alone. After using two bottles of Elec
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully im
proved and able to do her own work.”

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 10, 1899
SPANISH INSOLENCE.
Mnxcnline Mnon.-rx nx They Are DI»-
plnjed In Madrid.
Smart life is v. ry little seen in the
streets of Madrid. Women never walk
about unattended and seldom do more
4 than descend from and enter their car-
- riagee. Men, a- a rule, are gravely jki-
>1 lite, the best of them genuinely so and I
. the others with a varm-h which does i
very well when not scratched. They
stare out of countenance every woman
who passes. This, they explain, means
v nothing, and is indeed a delicate sort of
. flattery, but by American ladies it is
often taken for insolence and is always
very trying.
1 In the Royal Opera House at Madrid
a an apparently well bred Spaniard will
e not hesitate to walk down the aisle
. during the entr’act, and, taking a fa
vorable stand near the woman he wishes
e to regard, stare at her for two minutes
- at a time, with or without glasses. No
f sooner is the curtain down than nearly
1 all the men in the bouse —as a rule
handsome fellows and well dressed
bunch together in the middle aisle and
take the measure of their surroundings.
i It is a solemn moment. Nobody smiles
! or jokes, and there does not seem to be
much talking. Hats are worn, and
’ every ina.i looks about and stares.
' When an acquaintance is descried in
t one of the boxes, he gravely lifts his
. hat and replaces it, but his features re
tain their impassive gravity.
The women, when one does see them,
seem to be handsomely gowned, but
; they are not as good looking as the
m<-n. They go about in fine looking
i carriages, drawn by spirited horses or
by a spanking pair of mules. I have
never seen such mules, as are to be seen
at times on the shopping streets of
Madrid. You will often find on these
crowded thoroughfares equipages that
would look well on Fifth avenue, flocks
cf sheep and turkeys and slow moving
oxen, not to mention the omnipresent
donkey. The case life is an imitation of
the French article.

I ? >r several weeks past, a shooting =
gaPery has been run in this city bv i
W. M. Jennings, who claimed to be an I
oM con', derate veteran and was open- i
ating business with a confederate i
state’s license
List week ha [ tilled up slakes and 1
went to Atlanta, where he evidently |
intended to work the same trick on I
the authorities there. i
But Officer Phelps, who auspecud 1
him of being too young for a veteran of 1
the war of 60’s, and who is always on
the alert for offenders of the law, be
gan to investigate the matter, and as <

A Revised Version.
A little six-year-jld girl in Sunday i
school was asked one morning recent- '
ty, what she remembered of the story ,
about Sampson and the Philistines, 1
whereupon she promptly replied : “He <
sailed in tbe bay at night, and at day- f
*1
light open fine on them and sank ,
eleven of their warships with the jaw 1
bone of an ass. He took sonr* pris
oners who had never saw a razor, I
bombarded the town and took tip five 1
baskets of fragments. He told them 1
he would send his boy into the bay, *
so when they saw it they w mid re
member the Maine.” j

We have no means of judging the I
future except by the past Solomon E
tells us that “the things that hath
been shall be.” Duly fools • tempor
arily, perhaps, scoff at the lessons of
history, The historian Fraud?, him-L.
self a prominent imperialist in his
biography of Caesar says: ‘lf there |
is one lesson which history clearly |
teaches it is this that free nations can ;
not govern subject provinces. If they
are unwilling to admit their depen- 1
dencies to share their own constitu- r
lion, the constitution itself will fall to 1
pieces.” This is not tbe only teaching 8
of history. The attempt to mingle c
democracy and imperialism in any
proportion whatever, has always re-j
suited fatally to the nation making
| the attempt.—Texas Farm and Ranch. '
