FIGHTING FOR POSTOFFICES.
■
Georgia BepubUcaas Believe They
Should Not Be Ignored-
Toe Washington correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution has the fol
lowing story in yesterday’s paper that
‘will interest many in this city':
“The Georgia republican leaders
bare no intention of letting the presi
dent forget them, even if the honor of
the country is al stake. All of the
leaders have been here for several days
uniting in an effort to bring to a bead
such political complications as, when
| solved, will give some of the faithful
offices. * ' ,
“Just now tbeir efforts are concen
trated on tbe three prominent postof
fices, Maaon, Rome and Griffin, where
democratic postmasters hold the offices
as successors to other democrats. In
the Rome and Griffin cases vacancies
occurred through death ; in the Macon
case Postmaster Hertz was appointed
to the office when Daisy Price resigned
to be mayor.
“The MaCon esse, as has been ex
plained in the Constitution, differs
ffom the oibers, because Macon is the
home of h senator whu has given no
tice that he will fight any appoint
nv-til made before Postmaster Jlertz
has been allowed to fill out a fail four
years’ term. The probable ability of
Senator B-tcon to prevent confirma
tion even if au appointment is made,
is, just now, the strongest power back
of the postmaster, and neither Van
diver, at Rome, n.or Bailey, al Griffin,
can have just that same power at tbeir
back. From time immemorial the
senator has been almost the practical
dictator of matters pertaining to hie
home office. If lie is a member of the
administration party, he names the
postmaster; if he is of the minority
party, the senate will confirm nobody
without acquiescence on hie part.
“Tbe postmaster general, under the
pressure of the Georgia politicians, has
determined to make appointments in
I these cases, though sometime ago' he'
gave assurances that the incumbents
would not be disturbed before the ex
piration of the terms foe which they
bad been appointed. A presidential
postmaster is commissioned for a full
four years’ term, but the boys back in
Georgia are very hungry and Gary has
been compelled to give way to the de
man Is for a change.”
A Sadden Demise-
Mr. Geo. A McMal o i died at his
home on East Broad street yesterday
morning at 2 o’clock, of heart failure.
He was the night watchman at the
oil mills, and on Monday afternoon
was feeling unwell and sent his son to
the mills to take his place for tbe
night.
He retired about 9 o’clock and rest
ed tolerably well until about 2, when
he arose from hii bed and started
across tbe room fi r some medicine left
by his physician.
After taking a few steps be stagger
ed and fell to the floor, and when his
wife reached him he was dead.
There was a strange coincidence in
the death of Mr. McMahon. Yester
day was the 28th anniversary of his
marriage and his 49th birthday—he
was born, married and died on the
15th of March.
A wife, five sons and a large circle
of friends are left to mount bis sudden
death.

JZXTHE WORLD ARMING.
Every Nation i* Increasing Its Army
and Navy-
In another editorial the News directs
the attention ol southern farmers to
the fact that warlike preparations
throughout tbe world make it Abso
lutely certain that there will be an
enormous demand for food products,
and, therefore, advises Southern
farmers to plant more largely of
corn, wheat and other cereals thau ev
er before.
In this connection it is interesting
to note what the nations of tbe world
are really doing in their preparations
for war. An Associated Prest dispatch
published a few days ago, conveyed
(bo information that tbe naval esti
mates submitted by the British gov
ernment to parliament for the year are
the largest in tbe history of the coun
try, being something like $118,000,000,
and that the combined army and navy
budget is not far below $250,000,000.
Russia is making similar prepara
tions. as is shown by tbe fact that tbe
Czar has issued an imperial ukase, in
which be appropriates upward of $72,-
000,000 for additional battleships and
naval armament
Both Germany and France are
spending enormous sums in increasing
their navies, and their standing armies,
aud both nations seem to be impress
ed with the fact that they may be
drawn into war almost at any time.
Japan, Chili and Brazil are all add
ing to their naval strength.
The Birmingham News, which calls
attention to the above facts, points out
the causes for probable war among the
different nations.
In the Western Hemisphere Spain
and Cuba are fighting, and war is
threatened between Spain and the
United States, Such a conflict would
most likely embroil the powers of Eu
rope.
'ln Asi*, Japan and England on the
one side, appear to be arrayed against
Germany, Russia and France on the
other, in tbe quarrel over the division
of China.
Io Africa the French and English
are on the verge of hostilities, tbe rj
suit of the land grabbing policy each
is pursuing.
A conflict between any of the great
nations of the world at this time
threatens to involve several, if not all
of them. War either in America, Asia
or Africa would draw one or more out
side European countries into the con
flict to some extent.
Who can doubt, in the face of these
facts, that the whole world may be at
war before tbe end of the century—
and that food products will be worth
more Ilian anything else that our far
mers cau raise?—Macon News.
The Glorious South.
The south is receiving high praise
from the northern press for tbe unan
imity with which its senators and rep
resentatives voted for the $50,000,000
appropriation for national defense. The
south is the most interesting part of
this country. It has more inherent
poetry and romance than all the rest of
the land put together; its history con
tains the most impressive drama of
modern times, and it has produced
statesmen and soldiers as great as any
in the English speaking world since
William tbe Conqueror—Sprinfield
(Mass,) Republican.

disease that science lias been able to cure
in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall’s

the system, thereby destroying the founda-
I tion of the disease, and giving.the patient
strength by building up the constitution
, and assisting nature in doing its work.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 16,1888.
The South and War.
If we sbonld have.a war with Spain J
after the south bad expended, as it I
would, its wealth and resources,and its
brave sons had poured out tbeir blood
and exhausted their manhood in de
fense of this land, would tbe north still
think it necessary tn inflict us with
negro postmasters and wave the bloody
shirt in every presidential campaign?
Would they still call us anarchists if
we protested against laws which
ground us into poverty, and taunt ns
with being repudiatqrs if we demand
ed a jugt standard of value? All sec
tions would meet on a common field
for a common cause beneath one flag.
After tbe war was over would all sec
tions be treated alike? Would they
appoint ignorant, vicious, immoral ne
groes to the postoffices in intelligent
patriotic white communities only of
the south?
Would they give a stable standard
of value under which the*'armerof tbe
south would not have to pay an in
creasing burden of debt to tbo money
Under of the north? Would all sections
be treated the same then? If our met}
and our wealth and our qpurage and
our strength are needed in time of war
should our ‘people be discriminated*
against in time of peace? »
If our brave sons are expected to
rally round the common flag of a com
mon land and fight for it and die for
it when danger threatens us, should
not its folds be broad enough to extend
the broad patriotism of a common
treatment to all sections of this land
in time of peace?
These are of justice which
tbe north in this time of danger
should consider and through tbeir
consideration grow brojd enough to
cease to regard tbe south as a land fit
only for the spoils of carpetbaggers,ne
gro postmasters and legal robbery.
It is a broad land kissed of God with
eternal sunshine, abd radiant as the
honied flowers which nestle on its
bosom. Brave men and glorious wo
men dwell within it. The sweep on
the onward music of the “progress or
thought and labor and genius have
never found its feet laggard. Strong
arms have borne the banner of ad
vancement through the ashes of war’s
fierce desolation, and today all sections
of this land find that flag flaunting as
high as the highest in this nation’*
onward march. Brave hearted and
strong its stalwart sons have made
Americanism more honored wherever
(hey may be; and as for its daughters
no sun has ever risen on those more
noble or more fair.
The policy which humiliate or de
grades this garden spot of nature con
secrated by courage and energy and
purity and virtue, is so short-sighted
that coming generations will look
upon it with pitying contempt. No
foreign foe will meet beneath tbe
American flag more dangerous op
ponents than the sons of the south, no
government in times of peace can have
more faithful and safe citizenry. Even
if war does not come is McKinley
broad enough to recognize these facts?

Ate His Own Words.
“While I was at Moscow,” writes a
traveler, whose words are reproduced
by the Detroit Free Press, “a volume
was published in favor of the liberty of
tbe people. In thia book the iniqui*
tous conduct of the public function
aries, and even of tbe sovereign, were
censured severely The book created
great indignation,and (he offender was
at onco taken into custody.. After be
ing tried in a summary way, he was
Condemned to eat bis own words. A
scaffold was erected in a public square,
the imperial provost, the magistrates
and tbe physicians of the Czar attend
ing, the book was separated from the
binding, and the margin cut ojf. Tbe
author was then served, leaf by leaf, by
the provost, and was obliged to swallow
this unpalatable sluff on pain of the
knout, more feared in Russia than
death. As soou as the medical gentle
men were of the opinion that he had
eaten as much as be could with safety,
the transgressor was returned to pris
on. This punishment was renewed tbe
following days, until, after several
hearty meals, every leaf of the book
actually swallowed.”
