' A WALK OVER THIS YEAR.
Not since in 1892 has the state demo
eratic ticket had such a fair field and
such a slight use for favors. It was ip
1892 that formidable opposition appear
ed and for a time proved troublesome
to the democratic party, but in the
campaign just begun it promises to be
a very unimportant factor.
It is just such a time as this that the
democratic party should demonstrate
more fully than ever before that it is
the party of the people; not a mere ma
chine for the distribution of political
pie, but an organization founded upon
principles calculated to do the greatest
good to the greatest number of people,
A strict adherence to this principle of
government will always silence the op
position everywhere,
The men who are leading the party
in this campaign occupy a perfectly
secure positions before the people, and
may be depended upon to guide the
ship of state around *the shoals into
the unassailable harbor of public ap
proval.
Tae Manchester, New Hampshire,
Union, in noting that Senator Tillman
is opposed to the policy of imaperialism,
says he has a considerable amount of
horse sense beneath his rough exte
rior, and quotes him approvingly as fol-
Jlows: ‘““Americans, while glorifying in
the heroism of Dewey and Hobson,
should not forget that the Roman em
pire rotted at the core as it increased
in area. We can safely rest under the
star spangled banner as long as it
floats over anything American. Con
quered provinces of Incongruous
peoprle mean a large standing army,
heavy taxes and danger to the govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people.”
Tar Atlanta Constitution notes that
none of the Georgia officials who have
received army commissions will resign
until it is seen wnether their regiments
go to the war. There is a chance that
the war will soon be over, and if
the boys resign now they might
find themselves on the beach high
and dry with both their occupations
gone—a situation that would be
very distressing to these patriotic gen
tlemen, who are such lovers of coun
try that they will not risk even a
chance of its being deprived of their
services,
Tae suggestion which found its way
mto the public prints recently that
Admiral Cervera wouid probably be
court martialed and shot upon his re
turn to Spain seems to have been pre
mature. So far from exhibiting anger
towards the brave and daring admiral
Spain has evinced concern for his com
fort and welfare during his confine
ment. She has just sent to hita for the
use of himself and companions in cap
tivity the sum of $50,000.
Dr. D’Arvieny, while walking
along one of the streets of Atlanta dur
ing the confederate re-union last week,
had some “unpieasantness’’ with a
United States ‘‘regualar.” The yankee
soldier laughed at the aoctor’s grey
uniform and sang “Hang Jeff Davis
to a Sour Apple I'ree.”” The old con
federate bad the right sort of spunk,
and pitched into the soldier and clean
ed him upin short order.
I't will now be the proper thing for
the ‘“‘swells” to assume a limp when
they walk. The Prince of Wales has
fractured his left knee-cap and, of
course, will limp for some time; at
least long enough for the limp to be
come a fad among the soft-heads in

CUBAN SOLDIERS ROUTED.
Garcia’s Army Suffers in an Engagement
With Spaniards.
A dispatch to the New York Herald
from Bantiago says:
Great excitement was caused in San
tiago on Thursday by a story brought in
by the Cubans that four thousand insur
gents composing Garcia’s army were
routed in a fierce engagement with a de
tachment of Spanish troops bound to
Santiago to surrender.
The battle tcok place several miles
north of the city, Many Cubans were
killed and many more were wounded.
The Spanish loss was smaller.
Nothing happening in this vicinity re
cently has taken *he American officers
and troops so completely by surprise as
this story of the battle between the Cu
bans and the Spaniards.
The Spaniards drove Garcia’s men into
full retreat. A few hours after the bat
tle began the Cuban general withdrow
his troops to the mountains.
He has resolved to move on Holguin
if the Americans will not allow them to
wreak their yengeance on the Spaniards
in Santiago.
The Cubans proposed to storm some
other important place. It was with this
object that Garcia withdrew his tronps
from the American linesand refused any
longer to act as an ally with Shafter. He
decided on the capture of Holguin if
possible and there set up an insurgent
government, making that place the Cu
ban headquarters for the eastern depart
ment,
The Spaniards had been gatlered from
the fortified towns in the vicinity and
were proceeding to Santiago under terms
of surrender. They were seeking to
carry out in good faith the agreement
made with Shafter, and were not looking
for a ficht and were caught off their
guard.

SERPENT SHOWS HIS FANGS.
Garcia Disgusted and Has Withtrawn His
Forces tothe Hills.
Santiago special to the New York
Journal says that General Garcia
has written a letter tv Qeneral
Shafter daclaring that he is discusted
at his treatment at the hands of the
Americans, and therefore withdraws his
forces to the hills,
Among other things of which Garcia
complains is the failure of the American
commander to officially notify him of
the surrender of the Spanish force under
Toral; and he is also incensed at the al
leged fact that he was not invited to be
present at the ceremony attending the
formal capitulation of Santiago. An.
other grievance is the retention of the
Spanish civil authorities in the admin
istration of their functions in Santiago.
For these reasons General Garcia de.
clares he will no longer co-operate with
the forces uoder General Shafter, but
will act independently as he did before
the American troops landed in Cuba,

TACONSUMPTION i &
THE REAL CUBAN PROBLEM.
Our Greatest Trouble May Come After We
Have Driven the Spaniards Out.
From the Savannah News. |
We are aporoaching the real Cuban
problem—the problem which we shall
hase to solve before there can be perma
nent peace in Cuba, That problem is to
establish a stable, liberal and satisfac
tory government in that island. The
differences between the royalists and
revolutionists are so radical that itis
doubtful if there will be harmony be
tween them fora generation. The United
States are bound to give the island a
government which will command the re
spect and obedience of all classes of the
people, and which will insure protection
to life and property.
As soon as Santiago surrendered rvep
resentalives of the so-called Cuban re
public appeared there and announced
their purpose of making that city the
capital of the republic for the time be
ing. When General Shafter stated that
ae intended to keep some Spanish of
ficers, who belong to the autonomist
government, in charge of the city the
Cuban officers protested, saying tnat to
d 0 80 would be a most serious mistake,
because the Spaniards are bitterly hos
tile to the United States. These Cubans
also said that if autonomist Spaniards
were lefs in charge of Santiago’s munici
pal aftairs the Cubans would feel that
their cause had received a serious set~
back.
From Madrid comes the statement that
the autonomists in Cuba have about de
cided to cut loose from Spaip and de
clare for a republic—that if Cuba is to
be independent the royalists should have
control of the government—not the revo
lutionists, They have gone so far, it 1s
alleged, as to ask the Spanish soldiers to
remain in Cuba and help thom establish
Cuba’s independence.
~ There is, therefore, a probability of
two republics, one having the support of
the royalists and the other of the revo
lutionists. In that case what would the
United States do? Would they fight
both republics and proceed to establish
a government such as they thought Cuba
should have? If they should they would,
in all probability, lnose the support of
bott the royalists and the revolutionists,
and would have to deal with both of
them with a firm hand.
We have not, of course, got possession
yet of Cuba, but there is no doubt that
we shall haye it before the end of this
year, if not much sooner, but it is just as
well to look ahead and see what troubles,
if any, are likely to confront us when we
get control of the island. "Mhe prospect
is not such as to create the impression
that we are going to have an easy task to
give the people of Cuba the kini ot gov-
Temment they ought to have. Our great
‘est trouble with Cuba may come after
'we haye driven the Spaniards out of the
‘island.

The injunction case filed by Mr., W. A,
Carter against the Georgia Pine Railway
to prevent the road from going a certain
route through his land, was heard in
chambers by Judge H. C. Sheffield at
Arlington, and was decided adversely to
Mr, Carter, the injunction being dis
missed. Colonel R. H. Powell of Blake

while Colonels A. L. Hawes of Bain
bridge acd W. D. Sheffield of Arlington
represented the railroad. Several of the
leading railroad officials were 1n attend

“AN UNPLEASANT INCIDENT,”
Correspondent of a Yellow Journal Said to
Have Hit General Shafter.
A New York Herald correspondent
thus relates the ‘‘one unpleasant inci
dent’’ of the raising of the American
flag over Santiago de Cuba: ‘‘When the
time came to raise the flag Scovel (Syi
vester Scovel, a correspondent of the
New York World) attempted to make
his way to the roof of the palace, with
the intention of participating in some
way in the ceremouy. He was ordered
down by the guard. Immediately atter
the ceremony Scovel pushed his way to
Gezeral Shafter and slapped the gener
al’s face. He was promptly arrested,”
Scovel is one of th» stars of yellow jour
nalism. He has been in unpleasant no
toriety ever since the first friction be
tween this country and Spain. He has
intruded himself and his newspaper
upon every possible occasion, He has
acted upon the principle that the war,
and the events leading up to it, were
gotten up expressly for the purpose of
advertising Scovel, Pualitzer and World.
He has been a nuisance to the officiais
of the government and a bore to the
reading public. Because he was notl
permitted to still further advertise him
self and his newspaper at Santiago he
assaulted General Shafter. An example
ought to made of him. |
TWO MINISTERIAL STORIES, |
Unique Things Done and Said by Georgia
Preachers.
A unique compact has been entered
into batween Rev. R. A. Brown, pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Way
oross, and a member of his congrega
tion. The layman has beeu couspicu
ous for his absence from church for
several months past, and when admon
ished and entreated by the pastor to
attend regularly gave poverty as his
excuse. “Why, sir, I bave not the price
of a shoe shine left over from my earn
ings after paying my bills, and 1t is
therefore impracticable for:me to at
tend church.”” “Well,” said the pastor,
‘‘come over to my study every Sunday
morning at 9 o’clock and I will shine
your shoes.” They shook hands and
sealed the compact.
A minister annoyed by tobacco
chewing thus spoke to his congrega
tion: ‘‘Take your quid of tobacco out
on entering the house of God, and
gently lay it on the outer edge of the
sidewalk or fence. It will positively
be there when you come out, for a rat
will not take it, a dog will not take it,
neither will a hog, and you are certain
of your quid when you go out after
it. Not tne filthiest vermin on earth
would touch it. It would even kill fleas
ona dog.”

Fishing for Health.
When a man breaks down with that
dread disease, consumption, and recognizes
his condition, he starts out to fish for
health. He tries this thing and that thing,
He consults this doetor and that doctor.
He indulges in all kinds of absurd athletie
exercises. He tries first one climate and
then another. He tries the rest cure and
the work cure. He grows steadily worse,
That is the story of most consumptives,
Finally, when the consumptive dies, the
doctor shrugs his shoulders and pronounces
consumption incurable. A thirty years’
test of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery has demonstrated that it cures o 8
per cent. of all cases of consumption, if
taken in the earlier stages of the disease,
before the lungs are too far wasted. Ina
consumptive there is a weaker spot than
even the lungs. That spot is the stomach.
A consumptive never really begins to die
until his stomach gives out.” The “Golden
Medical Discovery” not only braces up
the stomach, but acts directly on the
lungs, healing them and driving out all
impurities. Honest medicine dealers will
not urge you to take an inferior substitute.
“I had a ver¥ bad cough, also night-sweats,
and was almost in my grave with consumption,"’
writes Mrs. Clara A. Mclntyre, Box 171, Ash
land, Middlesex Co., Mass. A friend of mine
who had died with consumption came to me in
a dream and told me to take Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery, and, thank the Lord, I did
so. By the time I had taken half of the first
bottle I felt much better, I kept on until 1 had
taken three bottles. That was all I needed. I
got well and strong again.”
Whenever constipation is one of the com
plicating causes of disease, the most perfect
remedy is Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets,
which are always effective, yet absolutely
mild and harmless. There never was any
remedy invented which can take their
place. They never gripe.
City Ordinance.

Council of the city of Dawson that from
and after the 16th day of July, 1898, it
