A DEBT THAT 'MUST BE PAID.
The Ladies’ Memorial Association
nslks that the sum of three hundred
doiisri—the amount of the debt now
carried by 'he aso-ela'lou on account
of the headstones in the soldiers’ lot
at Rose -H811—*>e made tip promptly.
They ask to be relieved from the bur
den of Mi's responsibility.
By whom Nlro-uld rh-is dribt be paid?
_ rp rwo vp'iorim who
ivy y uuv. - ^
fought side by side with the men whose
aamss are written on the marble slabs.
By their sons and gnanddons, -whose
proudest boost <*iouLl be to And their
names upon the roil of honor of the
men whfo fought bmvrty for their
homes and their country. Tbit debt
is owed by every man who profits by
the high example sat by these braive
a ml unselfish patriots. And who Is nut
profited when thousands Show by
their acts that they love country more
tblan they love life?
The Telegraph has not seconded tho
previous appeals made by the Indies
at the Memorial Autoda tion to the pub
lic for the amount of money necessity
to wipe off this debt, because It hoped
thtart the men of Macon would feel that
such a second -wins entirely superfluous.
Nt>w, hpwever, that Memorial Day is
drawing near and the ajupsal has been
nfede through tho column* of 'ho Tel-
egralph, we desire to draw .the attention
of our reader* to the faot that if Me

paltry debt remain unpaid that fact
Will he dlscrodMable to every man

Th's is only a small amount to be
divided up aanong tlic men ami women

lot next Friday Asking that <>ur sen

This amount must be ralaed by Me

FOR IMDNIOIBAL 11MUROVHMlENT,
About three years ago .there w»s or-
ganixed In Kansas City a Municipal
Imyrovenretit AHwdaWon. It might
very naturally »>e supp<-«*l «b*t such
am organisation w-mbl stir up toena*
antagonism because of Its interference
wltto the work of regularly (footed «nu
nieipal officers. But* tons not been the
cane In Kansas OMy, however. The
uiMoolntlOD has done much valuable
and effective work and rititt continue*
in high farvor.
An exeouttve committee hoWs meet
ings 'twice a inootlh and other standing
committees attcsul *10 regular bualnere
allotted to them. One- of t»ie best
pi cow of work credited to *be associa
tion Is the devolopanumt of a strong
sentiment tn favor of ism-pa rtlsamship
In municipal government. The assoria
t’gn, which counts ruuong Us metnbera
a large number of the most .prominent
ctusens belonging to bath polfitonl par
ties, has three prime puipostw 1o view.
The float object of the ongmlsadon
Is to gather sod dlsrsn* ail posw.hle In
formation and rfathklcs ss to the uieil
ed- need by other cities In the levytng
of taxes, expending of public fund*,
paving, cleaning ami other Important
matters contracted with municipal gov
ernment.
Again, irhe association pledges itself
to secure the co-operation of all cittseta
Id all movements and measures looking
to improvement and reform, thus se
curing till pxnlble advantages to be
obtain'd by a wise and economical ad
ministration of mnnlalpal affairs.
The thinl object of the association
is to secure the pnmage of ordinances
conducive to the health and prosperity
of the community, and consequently to
tike step* looking to the repeal of or-
dinancoi or /sate taws that. In the opin
ion of the association, may need atten
tion.
We have no douHi that a movement
lookltg tea such an orgattxation would
not And favor with some of the several
factions that make up (MhconV munic
ipal -political body, 5mt -we Jove never
theless no doubt tfiaii such an- organi
zation, wisely and actively conducted
hcr<i would have a very beneficial
effort.
OH.Uit.MIAN OLAY’S ADVICE.
In the Interview whkflj we printed
yesterday, Mr. CLiiy, clwhrmnn of tho
state Democratic executive committee,
recognized oloaciy the fact, -which has
been forcing Itself upon the attention
of all IXimwmuts, that a desperate
struggle for the control of the natty,
betiwoen the men who believe in sound
money and those who are In favor of
a poHey which mu»t result In silver
monomdtaBlsm, is impending In Ihte
abate. It Is well that the official hriid
of the party should announce this fact,
so that *11 Democrats may prepare
themselves to take an Intelligent part
In that contest His advice that all
Democrats denote Ihomselvos to soudy
of ah© silver qu«ft'.-ou Is the best ad-
vice that could be given.
It is had t» see now how a victory
for eliltor one side or the other in the
convention 1* to be followed by peace
ful and united action by the party.
Strictly speaking, the Issue is not a
political one. There to no Democratic
principle which binds a Democrat no
one view or the other of the currency
question, unless it be that the old Dem
ocratic belief in sound money compels
Democrats of this day to do -what they
can -to prevent the present currency of
the country from being degraded. But,
admitting that no political principle -is
Involved, -the Issue is nevertheless of
momentous importance In the eyes or
both -tWose who favor and those who
oppose tho Independent free onlnage of
silver. The clreums ances are exactly
those most favWM/ble tto a div'slon in
the patty, and this fact, we think,
Should not toe forgotten hy any Demo
crat to whl'.m she integrity of the -party
Is dear and who believes that on its
ascendhincy dqpendu 111 large measure
-the prosperity of the ooun-try. Regard
fbr this fact ought tio divest discussion
of the silver question by Democrats of
some of the bitterness that has iroon
injected in-io tt and which thivi-trtens
*„ been-me more intense. Let us f allow
lug, and that probably several thous
and mere itnocps would be sent fr-ui
the mother country. - Fnom Tampa

uVOT OUR QUARREL.
1 THE MONROE D0GT31NE.
Senator Hill Talks of the Interference
Under That Under
standing,
It Is said tha-t -the diplomacy of Nic
aragua in dealing with the difficulty
in wblrti she has become involved with
Great Britain has for Its purpose the
en-ta-nglctnon;- of -the United States In
the quarrel. If so, then our Bov-rn-
ment ought -to lose no -time In lcttthg
Nicaragua, on the one hand, and*
stand -that her quarrels are her nwn,
and Great Britain, on -the other, -that
no seizure of -Nicaraguan ferrltoty, giv
ing command of the proposed canal,
trill be -tolerated. When It has dt.ne
this, Cv.oaragua and Great Britain can
be safely left to settle their quarrel iu
their own wav. To do anything more
in vindication of -she iMlmttoe doctrine,
so-called, Would sett a precedent which
we -would hereafter find very troui Je
rome. It Is none of our business how
often Nicaragua expels British eannuls,
nor how -many thousand dollars Great
Britain may ex-Jort in compensation for
such injuries. It is our bustoess
look after our own interests. When
we undertake to hold ourselves re

An attnmpa has been made by tho
free sliver prews to convey the impres
sion that there Is practically no oppo-
sition to the free silver movement In
Georgia. This ntrontpt Is mere polit
ical strategy. When the test comes *t
will be found that the sentiment among
Georgia- Democrats In favor of main
taining In -this country as good money
as la current in «ny other country Is
exceed'.ugly sttGng. We believe it Is
strong euougb to elect n majority of
the delegates to -the Convention. That

m-an Otay when he says that opposed

United States a apodal right-, not given

tho -pending boundary dispute, or as
sume a protectorate over Spanish-
America.
(He answered that) he had never
thought so.
“But docs not the iMbnroe doctrine,”
was inqutrid, “declare that the United
Sates cannot permit any Spanish-
American repuhflio on this continent to
be oppressed, or Its destiny controlled
by a Darcpean sure?”
“That -would have referred,” he said,
“to a legitimate dispute such as we
or any other g- -vernmetit might have
tomorrow with a St»o.iSh-*Aimerioan
state. It protected against using such
a controversy -with- an Intention to In
crease European, ipoktlcol (Umv.nton on
this hemrispCtere or control the destiny
of an American ritate, or transfer a

owner, but did not change what was
then the law of mat-ions. The estab
lishment a year or two before 1823 of
more than a dozen indqpoiMlent states
at -the south of us naturally forced the
United States Into now lines of thought
and action. John Quincy Attains, our
then ™ri.*ter of foreign affairs, had
the eyes to discern It. Entangling al
liances on this ride as well as on the
other side of the ocean -were to too
avoided so for as could be. We had
to ‘maintain impartial -neutrality in the
affair* of the new nnd Indqpondent
Spstnlah-Aimerioan stnlttM and suppress,
as we should today, piratical expedi
tions from our shores against any of
them or any retrai ning European col
ony. The Xtoaroe doctrine Was ex

ami abroad In regard -to Cuba, Yuca
tan, Nicaragua and Its itrfims of -Mbs-
qulto Indians, Invented by England, a

Democrats, Inelud ng Senator Van Bu-
ron of New York, par-Wei-ii—ting la a

not pledge the United States to for
ever thereafter prevent a European
power from tu erferln-g wltth the 'tide-

Central American stuile."
So you think that President Mon
roe has the reputation of having given
his name to 'a rule ottvonduct by th-)

Mr. Adam* contended ”
“Precisely that,” the senator an
swered, "The doctrine cannot -be for

dent Arthur did authorize Secretary
Frriinghuysen to go so far os to say
otflclally that the state department
will not sanction an arbitration by
European states of South American
difficulties, even with the consent of
the parties. Two years before that
Secretary Blaine had -written to our
minister at Paris that the pr-sldent
would regard with grave anxiety any
attempt by France to force by nosttle
pressure the payment by Venexuela of
her debt to French dtlxens. Interpos
ing our good offices between England
and Venexuela 1s one thing, but dic
tating to one or the other I* a very
dlffierent thing, unless It be a dear
car* or self-defense. There are Iso
lated, casual sentences In the doctrine
which provide for a muie general In

In the old world as well as In tHe new,
but without accomplWhlg a change of
that law .of nations under which on*

PEACHES IN ABUNDANCE.
All That I» Needed Is Quick anil Good
Transportation.
Fort Volley, April 21.—Opellal.)—Mr.
J. H. Hale of South Gaatonbury, Conn.,
president of the Halo Georgia Orchard
and Nursery Compa-n-q came dawn Fri
day aflgUt and spent one dao looking
over his fruit landH, retonntng home Sat
urday afternoon. -Mr. Hale has been In
the fruit -busBnewa for a number of
years, and he has made horticulture a
life-study. The company of which he
is provident awns 887 acres of fruit lands
about three miles from Fort Valley,
on which they have over 100.000 fruit
tree: that will -be -bcurtag tlhla year.
They have ono of tile prettiest places
tn the country. Mr. Hale has named
his place Edge-wood, after the former
owner of the place.
When enjproached by the Telegraph
correspondent he spoke very enthusias
tically of the prospect. “Peaches ga
lore.” said Mr. Hule. "If nine-tenths
tii.lt a-re noav on the trees are gathered
we .will then get a good ip-rofltatole crop.
I don't »ee anything now that can pre
vent our having peaches In abundance.
It is true you may have hull storms,
cyclones, etc., but they will not all be
destroyed. Bugs! -worms! Wiry, I ha-vn't
seen a single one on my 100,000 tree*.
There may be some fow worms,
yet after these cool ndghlts stop, but
It would take armies of bugs to hurt
the crop now on the trees, nnd then
they would -wear their wea(poiw out be
fore they could sting one-tonth of them.
“Yes, sir; everything now Indicutes
a full, perfect crop of the finest fruit
that -was ever beheld In America. Every
thing here Is Just as lovely ami pleas
ant now as the most aesthetic heart
can desire, and the man or -woman -who
can’t appreciate Georg's and Heitst n tt
county, just now eepeotally. Is Juat too
exquisite for this material universe,
and should spread his wtnga and soar off
the liulMtable globe.
“Yes, I am going home; can't spend
but one day with you t-h-is 'time. Will
be back, however, In May and try to
market about 100,000 crates of line fruit
before I leave again. The growers have
waited patiently, and now that their
efforts look like being crowned w-ith
sucoos'. I do hope the railroad people
will square up to them in the way of
transportation. If they could realize
what a -bonanza this peach shipping
buslneto will be -to the railroads they
would cortainly spare no time or ex
pense In talking care of It. With this
Immense crcp coming on. comes also the
final test as to whether Georgia peaches
oan be shipped to all sections ot the
Union In good order and at -a profit to
the grower. So the railroads must do
ttielr full Share 1f we succeed, and
this is the season for them to dhow
what they can and will do. I Intend
to select my fruit -uind ship only tlie best
and flnest that grows. I think growers
make a great mistake In -not selecting
good fruit and putting It up In nice
pn-akagra. It will pay batter for t-horn
to throw all th.tr inferior and Imperfect
stuff a any than to attempt to crowd K
on the markets -with their good fruit.
If -we will do -the right thing In selecting
and packing, and the railroads the
square thing about slipping, Georgia L*
In the fruit business to stay, for the
whoU work! want* peaches.”

horticultural department a* Warihlng-
ton, D. C., and while there he visited
