Wo Mor* Htriotic Demands Prom
That Quarter.
Congreit finds itself io a very inter
eHiog predicament. On Wednesdoy
it issued free tickets to the populace
io snd of Washington in order that
the public might be able comfortably
to witness the suging ebullitions of pa
triotism advertised to take place on
that day. _
The populace assembled in due
coarse, but by a previous an ah gement
with native and foreign bankers (as
Lombard street was thoughtful
to cable to its friends ir. Wall street),
the well spring of patriotism was not
permitted to bubble. The populace was
compelled to retire.
Our readers know why. At the last
moment it was discovered that the
message, which bad been ad vert it ed
for noon deliveryxwaa so ferocious and
blood-curdling in its character that to
make it public property would be to
invite the Spaniards to massacre every
American on the island. It was an*
nounped that General Fitzhugh Lee
(though ha was entirely io the dark as
to the character of the message) had
asked for delay. Wednesday, while ex
pectation was on tiptoe, be declared
that he had received no instructions to
leave Cuba.
But, behold the spectacle that our
suppressed congress presents! We
bear no more patriotic demands from
that quarter. ’ Emissaries from the
financial centers have been so success
lul io their campaign against the in*
terests of free Cuba, that the patriot*
ism which has made the freedom of
Cuba one of the essentials of action,
has begun to melt away. Delay, post-*
ponement, dickering with the high
financiers, secret caucuses at the white
house, consultations with Spanish in*
tereats, hints and intimations that the
Cubans not worthy of independ
ence, darkysuggeetions that the Span**
ish flag must still float over the island
—all these things no longer create the
indignation which once greeted them.
We hear no more protests against them
from contress\
The republicans have already raised
the buo anl cry which is to compel the
doubtful ones to remain in' line.
“Stand by the president!*' That is the
watchword and slogan. It is no longer
“Stand by the people,” nor “Carry out
the will of the people,” but simply,
“Stand by the president l’*,This, as the
people have abundantjreason to know>
is only another form of cqramand to
support the interests of tbA money
lending syndicates. The republican
leaders, who have been permitted be
bjpd the scenes, understand perfectly
well what “standing by the president”
means.
The dullest observer may be as wise
if he will only use his two eyes. “Stand
by the president!”—but who is the
president standing by ? We'.l, he makes
do concealment of his position and de
sires He is standing by Hanna. And
who is Hanna standing by! That gift
ed man has little to conceal. He is
standing by the men who contributed
his enormous canfpaign fund; and
these men represent the high financi
ers, who are standing by their
and personal interests.
• That is the full scope and meaning
of the republican cry, “Stand by the
president!” It remains to be seen what
company the president will have when
the whole hideous scheme to sacrifice
tfce Cubans to the bondholders is laid
bare.—-Atlanta Constitution

‘‘April 13. 1865”
It is announced that the president
will send to congress next Monday the
message which will mean war or peace
as between the United States and
Spain. Sbouljd it give the word to
unloose the d»g* of war, the event
would occur ahnoai npon the exact
anniversary of Appomattox, for it was
upon April 13ib, 1865—thirty three
years ago, a third of a century—that
Robert E Lee yielded the causa of
the Confederacy, in the face of super
ior numbers,.,to Ulysses 8 Grant
What changes are wrought by the
whirligig of timel Among the gray
coated soldiers who thirty-three years
ago laid down their arms with Lee,
was Fitzhugh Lee, bis nephew. Yet
today the president of the United
States relies so implicitly upon the
loyalty of the former chief of the Con
federate cavalry that one word from
him is sufficient to postpone a mes
sage orlo give the message ats tone.
What a strong people we must be
to tbe EuropearTtnind! They see in
our fierce political contentions the
signs of govermental disintegration.
They observe that, in economic legis
lation, we reverse ourselves every oth
er yeas. They note that* we do not
take ordinary precautions to prepare
for possible entanglements with other
nations, living in a sort of epicurean
fashion. But tb'ey also perceive that,
when'the question of the national
honor Is up, we can come together in
stantly and rally to the flag with such
solidity as to leave no doubt that
the nation’s motto, “E Pluribus
Uoutri,” is truly significant of the na
tional feeling and strength. We may
quarrel.among ourselves upon this,
that and the other issue of domestic
policy, but when it comes to a question
of war with a foreigner the American
people stand united behind the presi
dent and congress, ready to follow
when the bugle sounds.
The Spanish journal which declared
that the Southern people would not
respond to a ball of the president in
case of a war with Spain, was utterly
ignorant of the situation. It ie-lrue
tbit we regard war with horror, but in
Fitzhugh Lee the Spaniards may see
the real type of Southern citizenship.
And how splendidly t]p old Lee
stock perpetuates itself! There was a
glorious Lee in the Revolutionary war,
another glorious Lee in the Mexican
and civil ware, and now another Lee
rises magnificently in the present hour
of the country’s peril. They have not
been soldiers of fortune; Not one of
them ever drew a sword except for a
gr.eat cause. They are conservative
and alow to invoke the lightnings of
was. But when the time comes to
leave the plow abd to hammer the
pruning hook into a spear, they have
always gons to the front and met the
brunt of battle.—Macon Telegraph.

The Tax Exemption Question*
t Judge Atkinson, in hie speech at
) Athens, showed how little there is in
> the argument Mr Berner is making
I against tbe suggested amendment to
> the constitution permitting munki-
I paliiies to exempt manufacturing eu
■ terprises from municipal taxation for
i a numbe- of years.
• Mr. Berner is trying to create the
I impression that such an amendment
I would be against tbe interest of tbe
• farmers—that the rich owners of facto
ries would escape taxation, while <be
i tax burden of tbe poor farmers would
be increased.
i Mr Berner knows, of course, that if
, the suggested amendment should bo
adopted the taxes of the farmers would
not be increased in the least. In fact,
such exemption as is suggested would
be'belpful to tbe farmers, because it
would bring abqpt an increase in the
amount of property taxable for state
purposes. The greater thfe amount of
‘property that is taxable for state pur
poses the lower the rate of taxation
would be > besides, by building up the
towns' the market for many of the
products farmers would be im
proved.
The exemption of new factories from
nflbnfcipal taxation would, therefore,
be beneficial, instead of hurtful, to the
farmers.
Judge Atkinson said be would glad
ly give towns the chance to vote to ex
empt new factory plants from munici
pal taxation for a certain nnmber of
years, if be had the power, but, as a
matter of fact, a governor has nothing
whatever to do with exempting prop**
erty from municipal taxation, and Mr.
Berner would have nothing to do with
it if he should be elected governor.
Therefore, in saying he is against
tbe suggested amendment granting to
municipalities-the right to say wheth
er or not they will exempt certain
kinds of property from municipal tax
ation, be is simply trying to win the
favor of tbe crowd upon an issue with
which be does not deal with entire
frankness.—Savannah News.
The Character of the Message-
There appears to be considerable
1 doubt as to what tbe character of the
President’s message will be, says tbe
Savannah News. Forecasts of it have
been published and they may be pretty
' nearly correct. Still, there is 4 chance
that it will be a surprise to both Con
gress and the country.
The prevailing opinion is that what
; ever the . message may contain the
outcome of tbe action which Congress
will take in regard to it will be war.
' Tbe interviews which we publish this
morning* with members of the Georgia
' and South Carolina delegations show
1 that tbe Democrats of the House are
1 in favor of recognizing the independ**
' ence of Cuba, even if tbe President
doesn’t recommend action of that kind.
Tbe understanding is that * tbe Presi
dent will recummend intervention in
Cuba with the view of putting a stop
to tbe war. It does not seem fto be
certain that he favors recognizing the
Cuban republic. Tbe republic appears
to be a rather shadowy affair as yet.
But whatever the President says and
Congress does the probabilities are
that war will be the outcome.
’ Spain has evidently clung to the
( hope that the European powers would
( intervene and undertake to bring
about a settlement of the differences
between her and tbe United Statee.
That hope was piactically destroyed
t by the refusal of Great Britain to join
, the other powers. Great Britain un
r derstands that tbe United States would
- not regard interference by European
f powers with favor.
r It is a question whether Congress
r will act upon tbe President’s message
as soon as it is read. Tbe committee
may report resolutions in harmony
with it prt&iptly, but there is a proba
bility that there will be considerable
debate.
