to Southern son'lmont and to the Con
federate soldier ever questioned.
The Telegraph haa not gone #o far.
It has only said that when two men
present themaelve* for the office of
governor, the one host qualified by
training and ability should be chosen
—that the fact that the other had oeen
a brave general la not a sufficient rea
son for entrusting to lilin the udiq^ii-

THE CONSTITUTION’S "GALL."
It ha* been the bad fortune of the
Tehgrapb to be denounced during the
present campaign ns tut enemy of die
Confederate soldier. Within the last
two or three day* * traveling political
ngent whom the Telegraph, in 11* ef
fort* to defend the purity of election*
in Georgia, ha* deeply offended, has
eagerly brought the charge that the
Telegraph hate* Confederate soldier*
a* a sufficient explanation of It* at
tack* upon him.
It I* not the Telegraph’* ptuqioee to
defend Itself aghinat this accusation.
Defense is unnecessary. No one ever
thought of making such an accusation
—nobody ever thought of doubting the
loyalty of the Telegraph to the best
and most ennobling Southern senti
ment—until in this campaign it ven
tured to express the opinion that Mr.
Atkinson la belter sultod than Gen.
Evans to be governor of Georgia.
Upon this slender foundation I* built
the charge that the Telegraph It the
enemy of the Confederate soldier and
bates him.
But while the Telegraph will not de
fend itself against so «niy a charge.
It 9a not improper to recall In this con
nection the utterance*, applicable In
this connection, of two men loved and
reverenced almost beyond all others In
Georgia and the South.
In an address delivered before the
Southern Historical Society of Atlanta,
in 1874, Ben Hill gave The words and
circumstances of a conversation with
Geo. Lee which occurred during the
war, as follows:
There were many peculiarities tn tbe
habit* and character of Lee which are
but little known end, which may ■
studied with profit. He studiously avoided
giving opinion* upon subject* which It
had not been hie calling or training to
Investigate; and sometimes 1 thought he
carried this great virtue too far. Neither
tbe president, nor congress nor friends
could get Ms views upon any public
question not etrictly military, and no
man had as much qulst, unobtrusive con
tempt for what he called “military states
men and political generals." Meeting him
once tn the streets of Richmond, ss I
wms going out and he going in the execu
tive office. I said to him: “General. I
with you would give ue your opinion as
to tt>e propriety of changing tbe seat of
government, and going further South.”
“That Is a political question. Mr. Hill,
and you politicians must determine It I
shall endeavor to take oore of the army,
and you must make the laws end control
the government.”
“Ah, General,“.I said, “you will have
to chance that rule, and form and ex
press political opinions; for, If we estab
lish our Independence, the people will
make you Mr. Darts' successor.tr
“Never, sir." he replied, with a firm
dignity that belonged only to Lee; “that
I wilt never permit. Whatever talents I
may possess (end they are llmlfed) are
nplltary talents. My education end train-
lag are military. I think the military
and civil talents are distinct. If not 4tf.
ferent, and full duty In either sphere is
about ao much as one man can qualify
hlmaelf to perform. I shad not do the
people the injustice to accept high civil
office, ’ with whose quest lens It has not
been my business to become familiar."
It will hardly be denied that Gen.
Lee wag a good Confederate; that be
loved the soldier pud proa loyal
Southern sentiment. Yet he thought
generals should not only not peek, but
should actually refuse, tn the Interest
nf the people, to accept high civil of
. lice wbco tendered to them. This view
wra one of the peculiarities of Lee to
which Mr. Illll refers. We do not
share It with Mm, ami see no sufficient
reason why u general may not verve
usefully In a civil office. We only go
ao far -is >o *sy that a particular gen-
eral will not fill a certain office as ac
ceptably at a particular'civilian. Gen.
Lee would certainly' not. entertaining
the vlewa be did, bare regarded this
os treaaon to Southern aeutiuieot and
evidence of hostility to Confederate
soldiers. % '
Tbe other great and loved man to
whom we refer >a Mr. Hill hlmaelf.
In the course of the same address from
which the above to taken be dtocussed
the evils of the time and said that the
elevation of the «Uteamsnehlp at the
country wua the first remedy. He
There Is something exceedingly com
ical In the Atlanta Constitution citing
the fact that the Telegraph keeps Fan
nin's vote in the Atkinson column as
proof that the Atkinson plan of cam
paign "to to claim everything In ad
vance," and something exceedingly
malicious In what It adds: “And then
make this claim good by fair mean*.
If convenient, or by foul means. If
necessary."
The Telegraph's readers /will bear It
out In the statement - that It has
claimed llrtl* In this campaign. It baa
not said that tbe people of the state
would rise on masse for Mr. Atkinson,
nor thaf he would carry at least one
buudred of the counties. It did not at
the beginning of the campaign assume
a patronizing attitude toward Geu.
Evans, and advise him, as a good
little fellow who ought not to make
himself ridiculous through his prepos
terously absurd ambition to be gover
nor, to get out of tbe race. On tbe
contrary, the Telegraph studiously
treated Gea Evans’ candidacy with
•■njpec*, ?WuvAf Whealna «lfrht of fhft fact
that he might possibly be the candi
date of tbe party. It has made pre
dictions as iu the sumner Is which
counties would act rarely and always
tentatively, and the proof of Its care
Ilea in the fact that In only one In
stance has It* prediction failed to be
fulfilled. Of course the Telegraph has
not prevented ito correspondents from
making claims and predictions. It
could not assume that tt knew more
of the situation in the counties than
they, on the ground, knew. In the.r
enthusiasm they may possibly have
claimed too much occaolonally, but
/sir table of returns shows that,
tbe whole, they have not missed tbe
truth far. But, anyway, neither the
Telegraph nor Mr. Atkinson Is re
sponsible for their claims.
Apparently in an effort to prove that
the Atkinson plan to to win by foul
mean* when necessary, the Constitu
tion ask* the Telegraph certain ques
tion* In regard to the proceeding* In
Fannin:
“Does the Macon Telegraph, for In
stance, know whether the so-called exec
utive committee that met the morning
after the election to revise the returns
was called together by (he chairmen?
It there we* no such cell, then the com
mittee wee not tn eeaalon offclelly. Does
ths Telegraph know whether the gentle-
' men celling themselves tht commlttse
bad before them the ballots that were oeet
In the mesa meeting the day before? If
the pretended revision of the ballots wee
made while thsy were In possession of
the chairmen of the meeting, and not
before the members of the self-consti
tuted returning board, will the Telegraph
continue to maintain that the transaction
wee not • fraudulent one?"
, The Information on which three
question* are based eeema to have
been furnished by a deputy United
States marshal accused by Mr. Btoa-
tier, In an Interview Is the Telegraph,
of having been soot Into toe couury
os on election agent for Gen. Evans.
If go, then It to tbe testimony of a
witness Jmercetcd In exculpating him
self from blame, and worth no more.
If aa much, as the testimony of other
witnesses already published in the
Telegraph. The evidence that there
were Irregularities in the proceed'nge
of tbe meeting and of (be committee
to no stronger than the evidence that
tbe apparent rpejorlty for Gen. Evaus
was made up of tbe votes of Repub
licans tn>t Don-retldHuta. On tbe
whole,' (ho votes of Fannin seem to
belong to tbe Atklnaoa column. We
are ready to take them out, however,
whenever proof is furnished that the
Evans delegates hold certificate* res
dlarly leaned. The loos of Fannin's
two votes to not a great nutter.
We will oak a few questions in our
turn. Why did the. Constitution, in
the earliest stage of die race, withhold
Baldwin’s and Oconee’* vote* from At
klnaoa. and then, without explanation,
accord them to him? Why does
now put Mclntoah’s votes In tiu Ev
ana column when according to Its own
telegrams the delegates are uni ns trad
ed and divided in their preferences?
Why has It for two or three days put
Folk’s vote In the Evaus column, iu
tbe face of a contest that, as tbe dis
patches this morning show, was
serious Out the executive committee
could not decide It?
Tbe Telegraph ho* from the first
marke^ Folk's votes “doubtful" and
McIntosh's unlcstructed.
Iff bill. Senator Peffer and his follow
ers will be voting for a continuation
nf those condition*. Iu the hope that
discontent will grow, an-1 the populist
party with it. This to not looking at
the matter from a patriotic point of
view, but rite Populist senators are
politician* first of nil, ami they know
rhat a smoothly worklug tariff law,
tlmt lowered taxation and brought
prosperity to the country -would he n
had thing for their party.
It Is more difficult to discover Mr.
Hill's motive. He has posed hereto-
_ fore as a Democrat who, having heard
the voice of bis party, never thought
of disobeying It. The most abhorrent
of ill created tblogs to him was the
political Independent—the mugwump—
the man who ventured to set tip bis
own views in opposition to those Of
the constituted authorities of hi* par
ty. His glory was to be considered a
perfect type of the machine politician.
Perhaps ifil* was due to the fact
that Mr. Hill was himself the bead of
the machine. At any rate, now, when
he finds another man at'the hod of
the national Democratic machine, and
that man hi* enomy and triumphant
rival, he become* all that he has here
tofore despised. He become* s mug
wump in action without any of tbe
oonvlcrions a* to the propriety of In
dividual independence in polities that
made the original breed of mugwumps
respectable and useful.
It to evideflt that If Mr. Hill can
wreck the Democratic party he will
do so. Probably be thinks If he can

A FRENCH SENSATION.
DISTURBED EUROPEAN POLITICS
The European newspapers and poli
ticians seem to be more-uneasy just
now over the political situation than
for many months. Southeastern Eu
rope I* undoubtedly *n a very dis
turbed condition, and it to in that re
gion that the torch of war has in the
past most frequently been lighted. Tbe
young king of Servia, having assured
himself of tbe support of the army,
has by bie edict abolished the cousd-
ration of the country and practically
established himself os an autocrat, lie
to only 17 year* old, and lii* crime Is
really that of the ex-king, Milan, bis
father, who has recently returned to
Belgrade, aud who Is one of the most
unmitigated scoundrels any natiyii ha*
produced. The outcome can hardly
fall to be civil war and the Interfer

that fate probably awaits it now.

In one of our exebooges:
"The distant state of Washington has
had Its. warning against th* Populists,

a Populist waa chosen mayor.' Th* city
had Just offered hoods for sale, to pro

to figure on the bond* and make their
often. As soon u the election of s
Populist mayor wu announced, these
agents "received dispatches from their
principals withdrawing them from the
field, nnd It will he year* before tnveetore
will again retard th* city with favor."
Tbe withdrawal of these ageut* will
no doubt be denounced by the Popu
lists as evidence of the hatred of the
“money power" for their party. But
there to a more reasonable explanation.
Tbe men who proposed to lend money
to tbe city In queer,on expected to get
It back again, with Interest. This ex-
pecuttuo was baaed, of course, on tbe
willingness as well as the ability of
tbe people of the city to pay. They
bad good reason to doubt that wil

wbo represents a psrty which looks
upon Interest as extortion and bond*
as evidence that a crime has ti

A GOOD APPETITE
Always accompanies good health, and
an absence of appetite to an indication
of aooietittnc wrong. Tbe lose of a
rational desire for food to scon fol
lowed by lack of strength, for when
the supply of fuel is cut off the fire
boros low. Tb» syeteui go-ls into a
low state, and to' liable to severe at
tacks of dtoease. Tbe universal tee
rimany given by (base who have used
Hood's Sarsaparilla, as to Its great
merits in restoring and sharpening the
appetite. In promoting healthy action
of tbe digestive organs, anil is a pu
rifier of the blood, constitute* tbe
strongest recommendation that can be
from the
suffering
of years—
jycars ol
misery, the
only relief
from which
seemed to
be death.
nn\Y
Suffering women be advised!
You can get immediate and
wonderful benefit from this
great remedy. There is no
such thing as experimenting
with Brown’s Iron Bitters—
it does cure. One bottle will
convince any woman—from the
first she will improve. Every
druggist has it It does not stei»
the teeth or cause constipation.
But Get the
Genuine.
