THE MORNING CALL.
Vol IX. No. 177.
A DIFFICULT task.
The President Finds it Very Hard to
Restrain Conrreii. -
The President is finding the task of
preventing Congress from taking ao
lion in the Cuban trouble a very diffi
cult one. Many of the senators and
representatives are so anxious to make
* sensational speeches in behalf of im
mediate intervention in the Cuban war
that they threaten to seriously embar
rass the President in hie efforts to
bring the war in Cuba to an end.
Apparently every congressman believes
that the great majority of his constitu
ants are in favor of war with Spain
unless Spain shall at once recognize
the independence of Cuba and remove
her soldiers from the island. Senator
Frye of Maine introduced a resolution
yesterday authorizing the President to
make war.upon Spain, and a resolution
recognizing the independence of the
Cuban republic was also introduced
in the Senate. No doubt there will
be m&ny other resolutions of a like
character introduced when the report
of the Maine court of inquiry gets be
fore the Senate and House.
The country doesn’t want war with
Spain and congressmen are making a
mistake if they they think it does. In
the cities, in all parts of the country,
the hope is expressed by the great
majority of those who have anything
at stake that there will be no war. A
good many preachers in the Northern
cities and the yellow journals of New
York are demanding war, but neither
the preachers nor the editors of the
yellow journals would shoulder mus
kets if war should come. In fact, none
of these who are loudest in demanding
war have any idea of exposing 'them
selves to Spanish bullets They might
become contractors or sutlers, or they
might go to the scene of war if they
were assured of safety, but they have
no intention of fighting the country’s
battles. That would have to be done
by the thoughtful people who don’t
want war if it can be avoided with
honor.
The other day Senator Lodge of
4 Massachusetts declared that the senti
ment in his state called for prompt
and decisive measures in dealing with
the Cuban trouble. The Poston Her
ald, in noticing the statement, said
that the senator’s “misinformation on
this subject is terribly profound.” The
Herald then sent out its reporters to
find wbat public sentiment was. Many
business tpep, repregectiug different
lines of industry, were interviewed,
and not one was found who was desir
ous that such action in respect to Cuba
should be taken as would bring on
war.
The people of the whole country
want the honor of the country main
tained and they want tbe government
to discharge every obligation which
rests upon it, but they don’t want the
country pushed into war by those who
are trying to get a little cheap glory
by war talk. If war should come our
government should be so wholly in the
right that it would have the moral
support of every other Christian na
tion. Its own citizens should feel that
tbe course it was pursuing was the
right one.
The President will not hesitate to
inform Congress if he finds it impossi
ble by diplomacy to do, in tbe Cuban
matter, wbat this country should do.
It will then be time enough for Con
gress to declare war.—Savannah News.

The Latest Developments.
The latest reports from Washington
do not look as warlike us all were led
believe they would. It was thought
that some decided move would be
z made yesterday and that Spain would
send her reply to McKinley’s demand
that Cuba be made free.
Instead of jeplying, Spain asked for
more time in which to answer and our
accommodating president very readily
granted the request.
This will delay the matter until
gome time next week—until after
Spain’s torpedo flotilla reaches Cuba
•nd is prepared to do our navy serious
damage in case Sagasta does not ac
cept the terms offered by McKinley
and this government does back down.

Good for Grover.
Hon. Grover Cleveland, late presiw

day and time, written many things

above his name in tbe following cor

A Midnight Raid.
Officers Connor and Flynt made a
raid on Boyd’s row at a late hour
Wednesday night and arrested three
negroes who have been wanted by tbe

The officers learned early in tbe
pight that Hattie Parker, a negro wo
man who escaped from the county
chaingang twelve months since, was
slaying with a friend on Boyd’s row,
and waited for an opportune time and
went out and arrested her.
Aftef placing her under arrest she
informed the officers where they could
find Jesse Gilmore, who is wanted for
larceny, and Tom Riley, for fighting.
The officers went at once to tbe place
designated, made the arrests and in a
short while all three were safely landed

Gilmore and Riley were tried before
Recorder Beck yesterday, and the for
mer was sent to the gang for three
months and the latter for 20 days.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 1, 1898.
They Can’t Shake Him Off.
It is a very cute trick of Colonel
Candler and his supporters to make it
appear that Governor W. Y. Atkinson
and bis friends are responsible for the
opposition that is generally manifest
ed against him throughout the state.
The truth of the matter is that Colenel
Candler is himself responsible for tbe
deflection from bis standard. He bad
no opposition and would have had
□one, save for bis own foolish, cruel
and unfounded charges against his
fellow Democrats.—Augusta Herald.
Now does the Herald really believe
that? Os course not. The Herald isn’t
such a fool that it failed to understand
wbat was transpiring several days be
fore that Rome letter was written. It
knows very well that Gov. Atkinson
aroused this opposition to Candler
just as soon as he returned from Mex
ico to find that his friend Joe Terrell
bad quit the race—because of his Iqo
intimate connection with the governor.
It knows that this so rgnkled in Bill
Atkinson’s breast that be determined
to arouse opposition to Candler or die
trying. It knows that he finally suc
ceeded in pushing Spencer R.Atkinson
into the race, and that forthwith tbe
governor’s forces lined up for him.
And the Herald was among the num
ber.
But we don’t blame the Herald for
being ashamed of it. And we don’t
blame Spencer R. from denying not
only kinship but all political connec
tion with William Yates.
The people, however, fully under
stand the case. They are not so easily
fooled as the Herald evidently be
lieves. They know that Col. Cindler’s
Rome letter simply bit the ducks be
fore they lit. Thai’s all —Macon News
Confidence in the President-
The president is an honest and a
brave man,and we believe he will show
himself equal to Ibis supreme emer
gency, and, in that faith, we await tbe
coming of events with composure and
confidence. —Louisville Courier Jour

Our Wealth in Bank-
Tbe people of the United States are
shown in tho report of the comptroller
of the currency, which states that the
individual deposits in tbe national
banks now aggregate more than
$2,000,000,000, being the largest
amount ever recorded iu the history of
those institutions. This statement
does-not take into account the depos
its in state and private banks, nor tbe
immense"sums known to be held by
savings banks. When these are add
ed, tbe wealth of the United States is
seen to be truly enormous.—Philadel
phia Ledger.
Would Spain Sell Out?
It is quite uncertain whether Spain
would accept or the Cubans offer com
pensation for the independence of tbe
island. The Spanish would be incon
ceivably foolish not to accept anything
rather than war with ns and the dead
loss of Cuba. The Cubans would be
wise to assent to a small annual pay
ment —they cannot afford a large one
—to avert the necessity of any more
fighting.—New York Times.
