THE EVENING CALL. Vol. X No. 212 HIS DIVERSIFIED FARMING We Don't Pay Enough Attention to Small Things- The Giiffin correnpumh-nl (l s t f ,<- Macon Telegraph writes hi>j paper an follows : Grifi in, Ga , May 10—Jn thorough touch with 1 he 1 olograph m to tliver lifyiog the products of the country is Mr. E B. Oxford of the firm of I). A. Oxford & Son, dealers in hides find live cattle. He is thoroughly up to date when it comes to the stock mark et, yet his utterances are gems of cons servatism When asked about cattle in this section he said : “Ask me what you wish und I will answer, but there are others that you can go to for your information. About cattle? Why, yes, I handle them on their feet and can say to you never in my life have I seen fat cattle fell for prices such as they have brought in Griffin this spring, and tin market is always good. “Right here in Middle Georgia we have pasturage that is as line, if noli finer, than any of the stock raising states, and our cows and calves, bulls or steers always command a good price in any market. “During the present season ship ments have been made from near here to Charleston, S. C , Atlanta and Cin cinnati, O , but I am forced to believe that Atlanta is one of the best mars Irets, for it is a distributing point. In our section now is a man who is buying up al! the milch cons he cau, rod will ship a car load north as soon is he can get them, and that will be bis week, for I know that the prices hey are bringing will readily cause dm to close up his lot. “The result of all this,” said Mr. Ox ord, “is to show that Georgia is a itock raising country ; that cotton is io good when it comes to natural ad -adages. A good swamp pasture kept ree from underbrush and allowed to ;row up in grass with cattle grazing ipon it, will give better returns than nvestments in guano and cotton. For attle, you don’t need cottonseed and mils, if you have forage or pasture, nd they are a much surer crop than otton and easier to raise.” In Mr. Oxford’s place fourteen cakes I beeswax, from the size of a wcffli to , muffin, were noticed and inquired .bout. Mr. Oxford said that he had ust paid out |'G GO for that amount of tuff, and that if farmers would pay nore attention to small things they* vonld be in a better fix, for there is lever a time when there is not a des nand for wax, hides, tallow or live attle, and that Georgia is the place to aiee them.

S> AU AUTONOMY FOR FILIPINOS. i Schuman Informed of Plan for Government of Islands. Washington, May 11—Secretary < Hay has telegraphed President Schur man, by direction of President Mc i Kinley, a statement in regard to the character of government the United States of America is willing to estab lish in the Philippines, after the eur- I render of Aguinaldo and the restoration i of peace. It will be more civil than military and somewhat similar to that . in Porto Rico. The head of the gov ernment will be a governor, whose functions will be civil, although he ! may be a military man. There will be an advisory council, composed of Filipinos, whose business will be to confer with the governor on official matters and suggest changes in the i manner of exercising authority. The local governments will be entirely in the hands of the Filipinos, subject to certain supervision by the Americans The plan proposed practically! j amounts to an autonomy system, and it is believed it will be accepted, ft will continue only until congress de cides what shall be the character of the permanent government. President Scburman was instructed to commu nicate with Gen. Aguinaldo or his au thorized representative the proposi tions of the United States in regard to the character of the government and the officials believe he is now con ferring on the subject. Next Falls Elections- The state elections which will be hold next fall will be especially impor tant in view of the possible bearing their results may have upon national affairs. These elections will occur in such important states as Maryland, lowa, Kentucky, Ohio, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersev, and Vir ginia. Thus every section of the Union will be represented and un-j doubtedly there will be some public j expression relative to the policy of I territorial expansion. The respective i parties in each state will submit a j platform and, as a consequence, we may be able to make an intelligent estimate of the trend of public opinion. I f so, the effect upon congress will be! very marked, for these elections are! set for November, about a month! prior to the opening of the regular I session. When the new members' were elected last fall the expansion ! question was not well-defined We had gained Porto Rico, broken the! Spanish yoke in Cuba, and had taken ! possession of Hawaii. The war against I the Filipinos had not been undertaken, the pi’.“.ce treaty bad not been naade. It was ilien generally believed that we intended to turn the islands over to a native government. The idea that we would attempt to rule 12,000,000 peo ple on 1,200 islands, ten thousand miles from San Francisco had not en tered the heads of the people Aguinal do was then a hero to tho American mind and Admiral Dewey seemed to be his prophet. The situation, however, changed in the twinkling of an eye and in Febru ary we found, iu Aguinaldo, a red handed foe instead of an obsequious friend, and we have been filling the trenches with the Filipino dead ever since, besides burying many of our own valient-hearted soldiers. The question is, therefore, as we have sug gested, pretty sure to come more or less into issue in the state elections as it will be the first time that the people have had any opportunity at all to speak their minds, and as about one fourth of the states will vote and as these states are scattered throughout I the Union, a fair indication of the I trend of public sentiment ought to be I given —Macon News.

Gen • Gomez and bis friends mi- anxious tc - counteract the growing influence ol the national party. Gomez has begun the organization of a party, to be dom- ■ iuated by him, which shall Lethe lever to keep him a potent political factor after the Cuban a’rir-y is disbanded It has been decided to resurrect tho old revolutionary party, which was found ed by Marti ami carried on alter his death by Estrada Palma The cbj< ct of the organization was absolute inde pendence. It is maintained that this is unattained, hence the work should go on. Gomez has asked (or a confer ence with Gen. Brooke tomorrow, it is understood, for the purpose of discuss ing his status toward the United States after disbanding the army. Three hundred and thirty-five law- I yers and physicians have taken degrees at the University of Havana since April 6, from which date the universi ty fees were suppressed. The junta of Cuban get ,-r.ila b-s decided to accept the distribution of the $3,000,000 donated by the United States on the terms insisted upon by Gen. Brooke, namely, that those sol diers turning in a full equipment shall receive the money. Reports made to Gen. Brooke by American officers who were detailed to investigate the matter show that not more than 15,000 guns are in possession of tho Cuban forces. Lists of the Cuban army, with over 39,000 uames on them, are being I copied. They will be kept intact, but the men who do not turn in their arms on the day of payment will find their uames stricken from the lists. There is much talk here regarding the police department, which is being likened to the New York force under Tammany rule. It is alleged that gambling houses and many cases are running under palice protection. The old Spanish law forbids gambling, and I full responsibility for the present exis tence of the evil rests, not on Gen. Ludlow, the military governor of the city, but on the Cuban police force. The facts of the situation are known to Gen. Brooke and his cabinet, and Secretary of Justice Lauuzi will issue an address shortly to the courts and the police, calling on them to enforce the law to the letter.

More Fighting Necessary- According to the reports from Wa.-L ington the President was c nfident i last Saturday that the fighting in the j Philippines would be over practically I within forty-eight hours. Ho had very good reasons for thinking that the in-! surrection was about at an end. The! Manila dispatches indicated as much.! j The fighting is still going on, however, j and it may continue for several weeks, lor it may come to an end suddenly.) I It looks as if one more important vic tory would be necessary to convince! the insurgents that their cause is; hopeless The President was asked last Satur-I day why it was that the fighting was i continued while the negotiations for peace were in progress, lie said that the Filipinos misinterpreted every ef fort we made to deal with them kind ly They mistook our leniency f r weakness, and c n dud' 1 th it if they but held out long enough they could have peace on Uu ir own terms 1 his is a satisfactory explanation of the action of Gen.

But if th- Filipinos were to ) get the idea that we were anxious for I peace—sc anxious that we were wil ling make great < <mce:-■-ir- to t it—they would abandon all idea of surrendering, at least for the present. 1 It is necessary therefore for speedy success that the war shall be emitinurd with all of the energy th Gen Otis 1 can put into it One reason why the insurgents are delaying the peace negotiations is that they hope that the rainy season which ‘ is near at hand will be of great advant 1 tag.- to them. They know that during 1 that season our troops will not be able to do much more than defend Manila —that they will have to be placed in barracks, in all probability, to save I them from serious illness. It may bo their purpose to try to strengthen their army during that period by getting Some of the tribes which have not yet taken part in the war to join them The way to prevent that, and to thor oughly dishearten them is to press the fighting vigorously. About- the only thing they respect is force, and the sooner we convince them that we are very much in earnest, and that we have the power to compel them to recognize our authority, the sooner will the war be over. In predicting last Saturday that the war would be ended in 48 hours, the President was too sanguine, but judging from Gen. Otis’ dispatches, the Filipinos will not be able to bold out many days, if no misfortune befalls (ur forces Savan nah News. SW Si Excellent Combination.
