THE EVENING CALL.
Vol. X. No. 228
CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
The Administration Will Ask Rein
forcements for Gen. Otis
Washington, Muy 30 (Sp-eis.—
There is something decidedly suspi
cious in the news from the Philippines.
Not u line of press news can be cabled
from Manila until it has been approv
ed by the I' S. Military Censor, and it
is not likely that be would approve
anything the administration did not
wish public Hence, the publication
of the statement that it would be im
possible for Gen. Otis to conquer the
entire island of Luzon, not to mention
the remainder of the group, so that it
would stay conquered, without a large
increase in his army was allowed to
pass the Censor for a purpose. Not
being io the confidence of the admin
istration, few persons, even among the
most prominent republicans, art?, it
cannot be positively stated what that
purpose is, but the inference is that it
is intended to pave the way for one of
two things ; a call for volunteers to re
inforce Otis, or to make the people of
this country satisfied with some dicker
that is about to be made with the Fil
ipinos, and which they would natural
ly be inclined to be dissatisfied with.
The preponderance of opinion in
Washington is that it means more
volunteers. Orders have been sent out
to the civilian members of the Philip
pine Commission that they must do
rothing to interfere with the military
plans of Gen. Otis, which is confirmas
tion of the reported wrangles in the
com mission.
After holding it back for many
months, Mr. McKinley has issued his
much advertised order, modifying the
civil service rules. It doesn’t appear
to please anybody overmuch. It in
cepts a total of somewhere in the
neigborhood of four thousand places
from the civil service rule, but as most
of those places are already filled by
republicans, it will make comparative
ly little new patronage for republican
leaders. It doesn’t touch the Govern
ment Printing Office, which so many
republicans have been trying hard to
get thrown open to them. So far as
the party workers are concerned, the
order is likely to do more harm than I
good to the republican party.
The administration was very paitics
ular to have the widest circulation
given to the report of the Beef Court I
of Inquiry, but it has now discovered i
that all of the $200,000 set aside to pay i
for the inquiry has been used up, and <
has ordered work stopped on printing i
of the testimony, upon which that re
port was supposed to be based, after it <
had all been put in type. It has all 1
along been contended by many that t
the administration never intended to i
make the testimony public, and this I
action makes it look as though that t
contention was correct.
Secretary Alger has been putting I
bis foot in it again. Several days ago, i
he caused an order to be issued by the I
War Department, instructing the t
military authorities in Cuba to give t
clearances to Cuban vessels under the i
Cuban flag, and at the same time s
stating that the vessels flying the Cu- i
ban flag would not be under American s
protection. As there is no Cuban gov- e
ernment, there can be no recognized i
Cuban flag ; hence the order strikes c
the average mau as ludicrous. Seme- e
body called Mr. McKinley’s attention [
to the order and he directed that it be t
referred to the Attorney General for 1
anopinion. This opinion, it is expect, t
sd, will knock the order out. It might i
answer for Cuban vessels to go from
one Cuban port to another, under such I
a clearance, but in any port outside of i
Cuba, the masters of such vessels I
would be at anybody’s mercy; they '
would have no Consul to appeal to in
case of unjust treatment of any sort, i
and no standing in any court of Ad
miralty. Alger’s specialty appears to
be doing the wrong thing.
Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George I). Williams,
of Manchester, Mich , tells bow such a
slave was made free. He says: “My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alons. After using two bottles of Elec
tric B'tters, she is wonderfully im
proved and able to do her own work ”
Thia supreme remedy for female dis
eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep
lessness, melancholy, headache, back
ache, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a god
send to weak, sickly, run down people.

TO KEEP ON FIGHTING
Otis Says Rainy Season Will Not
Stop Him
New York, May 30.—A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says:
General Olis says, contradicting the
general impression that the campaign
against the Filipino insurgents will be
prosecuted with the utmost aggressive
ness possible during the rainy season.
General Lawton is of the opinion that
an early settlement of the present
troubles and the close of hostilities
depends largely upon the Americans
giving rigid protection to the working
classes in their peaceful occupation,
whila waging incessant war against
the armed forces of the enemy from
this time forth by means of guerilla
warfare.
He will show the insurgents by vig
orous action on the rivers, lakes and
mountains that their belief that our
troops cannot campaign in the rainy
season or in the mountains is untrue.
Later it is possible that the chang
ing conditions may demand garrison
ing by districts, so that the valuable
part of the island will be safe invest
ment for capital and the prosecution
of industries until the Americans are
completely dominant. The quick
transportation of the cavalry and the
pack mules is desirable as a means of
rounding up the insurgents.
When Nature
Needs assistance it may be best to render
it promptly, but one should remember to
use even the most perfect remedies only
when needed. The best and most simple
and gentle remedy is the Syrup of Figs,
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co.
The Slight to Gen Miles
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, the command,
ing general of the army, has not been
consulted in reference to the manage
ment of the campaign in the Philip
pines. The failure of the plans of the
government to subdue the rebels does
not rest on the shoulders of the com
manding genera! of the American
army. Unless the Filipinos voluntari
ly surrender, the indications now are
that the American forces will have to
be withdrawn from active campaign
ing until after the rainy season is over,
when an army of 100,000 or more men
will have to be put in the field before
the rebels can be induced to listen to
rsason. If. Gen. Miles bad been con
sulted, he would probably have advis
ed the government to act on Lawton's
advice and send more troops to the
Philippines. In fact, if he had been
consulted in time, he would no doubt
have advised such a course so that a
sufficient number of troops could have
reached the islands soon enough to
have w. nnd up the campaign before
the rainy season set in.
It is not very comforting to reflect
that so much time, and money and so '
many lives have been lost by the pro
bable blunders of McKinley, Ager and 1
their advisers, especially when the one
man of all others entitled to have a !
voice in the matter was not consulted *
at all. What is the need for a com- *
manding general of the army, if bis 1
advice i« not sought on a matter of 1
such vital importance? If Gen. Miles *
is the wrong man for the place, be
ought to be put out, and a man select- *
ed competent to fill the position. The 1
president and secretary of war, in put- 1
ting this slight upon Gen. Miles, may 1
have made a blunder that will work ‘
the greatest injury upon the American '
army and the American people.
The Filipinos made their last play 1
for time very nicely. While the rainy '
season is going on, they can get a
larger army together than ever before.
They will be able to provide their
forces with arms and ammunition
sufficient to give the Americans a good
deal of trouble when the fighting is
resumed. It was certainly a great
mistake not to have sent a force large
enough to the Philippines to have en
abled Gen. Otis to have compelled the
surrender of the rebels before the rainy
season set in —Columbus Enquirer.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 30, 1899.
The State University An Issue-
M. .1 idm Trmp e Graves threatens
; lu makr- .l i- -tub ur>iv< r-ity »u issue
it- -ta'H [uj.iiies 11, his opinion ap
parently the university is ofll eted with
the dry rot. He declares that it is
either standing still or going back
ward, while the denominational insti
tutions of the state are going ahead.
Mr. Graves has a very high appre
ciation of the chancellor; says that he
is a gentleman and a scholar, but not
a teacher. The majority of the pro
fessors are highclass men and would
be an honor to any institution of learn
ing in the land, but they lack a leader.
The main trouble of the university
in Mr Graves’ opinion, is that the
trustees are not the sort of men who
ought to be ia the positions they oc
cupy. This is what he lays of them
and to them ;
“How many members of your board
have thought, written, investigated
and studied this vital qtmtion of the
chancellorship, as you ought to have
done in the solemn fiduciary relation
which you bear to it?
“The fact is gentlemen of the board,
you are either too busy or too timid to
attend to these responsible duties as
they should be discharged. That is
the only reasonable deduction from
your record of service.
“You will pardon me for the frank
opinion Shat there is too much politics
and twice too many politicians in your
distinguished body, and the number,
alas' seems to be lamentably on the
increase.
“I do not believe that an active poli
tician can be bold and disinterested
enough to do impartial justice to the
great interests represented here.
“You politicians are afraid of your
shadows, or, to say the least, you are
too everlastingly considerate of the
‘coming events which cast their shad
ows before.’
“You are foolishly afraid of ‘denom
inational prejudice.’
“You are awed by the shadow of
‘family influence.’
“ You are moved by the fear of sec
tional bias.
“You are too continually inclined to j
mix your own personal affairs with
the vast and impartial interest! of
higher education.
“And do you know, gentlemen, that
it is being freely whispered all over
the state that, the question of the chan
cellorship of the University of Georgia
is to revolve around and ba subordinate |
to the struggle for the seat in the \
United States Senate?
"If this be true, it is a living, burn- i
ing shame.”
"But I am going to tell you here;
that if you persist in this apathy and ,
political trimming in educational af
faire, that we are going to make the
university an issue in elate politics.
And we can do it.”
If we are not mistaken one of the
chief troubles of the university, if not
the chief, is the lack of money. If the
trustees had ample means it is proba
bls that there would be less ground
for complaint against them. They
can’t do what they see ought to be
done and what they would like to do ,
because they haven’t the necessary
means. It is probably true that Mr. j
Graves and those who are m sympathy '
with him would have very little diffi- :
culty in making the university an ;
issue in state politics. It isn’t al) •
plain sailing for the university by any •
means. That is evident from the die- ;
cussion of the university in the legis .
lature last fall. But from our point \
of view it wouldn't do trie university ;
any good to bring it into politics As- ;
turning that such is the case, why
should any friend oi it want to bring
it in 9 —Savannah Nhk.

called a little bit of interesting history
in the Senate when the bill relating
to changing the copyright law was
under consideration, says the Boston
Herald. He told bow Mrs. Jefferson
Davis prepared a very interesting life
of her hueband. The ownership of
that biography was s very important
resource to her in her old age.
Gen Gordon came into the Senate
one day just before his terra expired,
and in the last moments of President
Harrison’s administration, and stated
that the publishers of the book had
failed to make the proper deposit of
copies with the librarian to save her
copyright.
Thev tba» tb e cnnvriclit
was gone, and Mrs. Davis was in their
power. Consequently, they undertook
to compel her to submit to some very'
bard and onerous terms She was in
great distress and came to Congress for
help. A bill was passed relieving her
from that disability, and it was signed
by President. Harrison within 30 sec
onds of 12 o’clock, when his term ex
pired.
