FEW INDEMNITIES IN RECENT WARS
Enormous TaxoH That Victors Put
Upon Those Defeated.
New York Tribune.
When Erasmus described war as "the
malady of princes," he was not so ac
curate as would at first appear. It may
be the princes who are ill, hut it is the
people who sulfer the consequences and
foot th<! hills. The cost of tho present
war has been estimated many times,
hut when it is over the losers will face
a further stupendous outlay in the in
demnities of money and land which will
be exacted from I hem.
At the end of the Franco-Prussian
war, in 1871, Bismarck demanded an in
demnity which staggered the world.
Nolhinff of the sort had been dreamed
of before. Not only did France lose Al
sace and Lorraine, two of her best prov
inces, bill she had to pay in cash the
stupendous sum of 0,000,000,000 francs,
or $1,000,000,000, This vast sum of
money was obtained only by the loyalty
of the French people, who in thousands
of cases nave up their jewelry and nil
vorware to help make up the amount.
The lost territory and hardships caused
by the huge levy have never been for
gotten, ami the defeat of tho kaiser
will mean that France will ask for u re
turn of both. Should she ask for inter
est on the $1,000,000,000 for forty-four
years it would make an almost impossi
ble sum.
The exacting of a tribute in money or
land, or both, from a defeated enemy is
as old as war itself, and there are a
number of interesting examples in re
cent times. When the American colo
nies achieved their independence they
won the ownership of their territory as
the result of military success. The big
gest indemnity ever obtained by the
United States, however, was that fol
lowing the war with Mexico, in 1847.
T^o decisive victory won by the United
States resulted in Mexico giving up all
claims to territory north of the
Grande.
No cash indemnity was obtained from
Spain after the Spnnish-American wnr,
tiut beside the freedom of Cuba this
country obtained Porto Rico and Cuam
out right and the right to buy the Phil
ippine Islands for $20,000,000
vessels designed to prey on American
commerce built, equipped, outfitted and
manned in English ports, but they UHed
these as headquarters from which to
carry on their operations. Before the
war was over tho fleet of privateers
had become so largo that the American
merchant marine wa9 practically swept
from tho sea. The three worst offend
ers were the "Alabama," the "Flori
da” and the “Shenandoah.” In all 100
vessels were destroyed or captured by
privateers hailing from England.
The United States made strong pro
tests to England against this violation
of neutrality, hut they were ignored.
The Civil War Heemed to he all the
trouble that could be taken care of at
once, so that England for the time went
unpunished. As soon as the war was
ended the United States put in a claim
for a payment of something over $19,-
000,000 damages to the owners of ships
and cargoes destroyed by the English
privatoers. At first England refused
to consider the matter, and it even ap
peared that hostilities might break out.
Fortunately this was uverled. The af-
fuir then dragged along for a period of
twenty years. Finally, in 1885, Eng
land paid over the whole Hum demanded.
As far as possible it was distributed to
the persons who had owned the lost ves
sels. In this way a number of families
which had been made bankrupt by the
war were suddenly restored to a posi
tion of wealth. Supposedly neutral na
tions are now much more careful about
observing their neutrality. Such an in
demnity as that paid by England will
probably never be necessary again.
Prussia, since her rise to power, has
always insisted on a course of unrelent
ing punishment for the victims of her
arms. This was shown in tho Franco-
Prusaian war by the terrible tax men
tioned above, as well bh in other con
flicts. In the seven weeks' war of 186G
Prussia took the flel I against her pres
ent ally, Austria. Prussia was then the
greatest of the German Stales, outside
of Austria, and had an ambition to be
come the ruling power among tho Teu
tonic people. The smaller German
States, realizing that the defeat of
Austria would mean the defeat, of their
independence, took sides with the Ilapa-
burgs.
After a brief campaign Austria was
entirely subdued. By way of indemni
ty Prussia annexed Hanover, the Elbe
duchies and the electorates of Hesse,
Nassau and Frankfort. The old North
German Confederation was also broken
up und a new one organized, with Prus
sia actually in control. This great ad
dition of territory made possible the
present Gorman empire as proclaimed
at Versailles after the fall of Paris,
Closely following the establishment
of the German empire came the Russo-
Turkish war of 1877. Russia won
rather doubt ful victory over the Sultan,
Rio ; hut the indemnity did not go to the Czar
h mself. However, it meant a decided
blow to Turkey. The treaty of Beilin

Davis saw that if the South was to last
any time it must have a navy of some
sort. Besides pushing work on the few
men-of-war which were in course of
construction in Southern shipyards, he
issued letters of marque to all vessels
which wished to become privateers un
der the Confederate Hag.
Davis’ plan was to retaliate for the
blockade of the South by preying on the
American merchant marine. At the
outbreak of the war a large number of
the finest ships in the world were sail
ing under tin* American flag.' The
chance for prizes was rich that many
English sea captains berried to join the

Despondency Due to Indigestiou.
it is not at all surprising that persons
who have indigestion become discour
aged und despondent. Here are a few
words of hope and cheer for them by
Mrs. Blanche Bowers,, Indians, Pa.
“For years tnv digestion was so poor
that I could only eat the lighest food. I
tried everything that 1 heard'of to gel
relief, hut not until about a year ago,
when I saw Chamberlain's Tablets ad
vertised nnd got a bottle of them, did I
find the right treatment. 1 soon began
to improve, and since taking a few bot
tles of them my digestion is fine." For

"Home, Sweet Home.”
Indianapolis Nows.
Like an echo from the half-forgotten
past comes the word from Washington
that a bill has been introduced in the
Senate providing for the payment of
$205 to the legal heirs of John Howard
i’uyne. More than sixty year3 have
passed since the author of "Home,
Sweet Home,” died in Tunis, and it has
been ninety-years since his plaintive
ballad was first sung in public. Not
many songs have lived so long, and
few, indeed, there have been with
greater or broader appeal in either
melody or words. Millions have sung
Payne’s "Home, Sweet Home,” and j
millions more, no doubt, will sing it in
the future, but the memory of its au
thor has grown dim in the passing of
the years and of those who know the
song the number is not great who recall
the writer's name.
His was a strange and pathetic life.
After his thirteenth year he had no
home, and he died in a foreign land. He
was then serving as United States Con
sul to Tunis, and it is to make final set
tlement of his services that the Senate
bill has been introduced. Payne was
penniless when he 'died. His song,
which brought fortune to others,
brought little pecuniary reward to its
author. Still, he had made money, and
much of it, but he had no capacity for
keeping it.
To him Efinund Kean owed not a lit
tle of his success, for it was in Payne’s
play, "Brutus,” that Kean first estab
lished himself as a player of genius.
And to him Charles Kemble was also
indebted, for Payne’s "Charles II.”
supplied him with u play in which he
appeured at his best. But "Brutus”
and "Charles II.” are now forgotten.
Great in their day, their day was short
lived, and nothing now remains of them
save the memories that cluster around
them. No more enduring, either, was
the play in which "Home, Sweet
Home,” was first sung. This was
"Clari, or the Maid of Milan,” and it
was produced in 182.1. The first to sing
the song was Miss M. Tree.
So the record runs. Save the gem it
self, little remains. The song has out
lived author, play and singer. Payne
wrote better than he knew. Thirty
years after his death his body was
brought from Tunis and laid'to final
rest in the 3oil of his native land, and,
on that occasion, a thousand voices
were blended in the singingof his great
melody. But, appropriate and impres
sive as it was, this tribute was small
compared to the fact that his song, to
day, more than any other song, is sung
the whole world round, and always and
by singers everywhere with a feeling
and sincerity and sympathy no other
song evokes.

The Turk.
It is u curious fact that no country is
ever too poor to go to war—though war
is the most costly of national enter
prises. Turkey is bankrupt in cash and
credit, her navy starved, her army half
equipped, her civil improvements prac
tically abandoned, but she rushes gayly
into a war which concerns her only re
motely, and the most probable result of
which will be her final expulsion from
Europe and the occupation of Constan
tinople by Russia.
For a century only British diplomacy
and British power have kept the Turks
in Constantinople and the Russian out.
Now Turkey declares war upon Russia
with the inevitable result of war with
England und France as well. Doubtless
this is the result of German diplomacy,
for it is well-known to students of
world politics that for the last twenty
years Germany has ousted England
from its historic position of next friend
to tho Sublima Porte, German finan
ciers advise—that is to say, control—
the Sultan’s revenue officers. German
officers train the Turkish soldiers, who,
indeed, need but little training, being
by nature the best of infantrymen. And
a swift stroke of German strategy gave
to the Turks the two strongest ships in
their navy, one — the Goeben —being
superior in power to any war vessel
now in the Mediterranean.
The effect of Turkey's entrance upon
the war is not difficult to foresee. It
will almost inevitably bring Italy into
the struggle, and the entrance of that
power would be a grave disaster to
German hopes. The appearance in the
field of the Banian array, more than
2,600,000 strong, would more than
offset any possible advantage to the
German-Austrian alliance from Tur
key's aid. Five Italian army crops
sent swiftly into France would almost
inevitably'change the course of the war
on the western frontier.
An Imperative Necessity.
Macon Tclefrraph.
We need a market in Moultrie for
corn, oats, hay and sweet potatoes. Will ]
sotm body advertise that they are ready
to take these products in unlimited
quantity and pay cash'.' —Moultrie Ob
server.
The Observer is right. The need of
the times is a cash grain market. If
the farmer felt sure of a cash grain
market, there would be no reluctance
in devoting a large area to grain. In
every town there should be onp firm to
say, "Sow your.grain. We will take it
and find a market."
In the discussion before the State
Chamber of Commerce a representative
of the railroads told about the work of
the railroads. They have men in every
department of agriculture co-operating
with the farmers, and also co-operating
whh the State end United States De
partments of Agriculture. And they
are making a specialty of finding mar
kets for the farmers. This railroad
agent related many instances of this
market finding. Ho appealed to the
business men to aid in this feature of
agricultural activity. It will give im
petus to diversification. The farmer
needs thi3 encouragement, for there are
but few farmers in Georgia prepared
for the change. It requires barns—
house-room to store away wheat, oats,
barley and rye.
Cotton requires but little house room
in comparison. Many haul it to the gin
from the cotton field. And where that
is not done cotton in the seed is not al
lowed to remain housed any great
length of time.
So, it is apparent the troubles in the
way changing to food crops. So much
more the necessity of cash grain mar
kets. The individual farmer is not pre
pared to discover markets. That must
from the necessities of the case be the
part for the merchant to perform.
This view was pressed by the speak
ers of the State Chamber of Commerce,
and is one The Telegraph has been pre
senting for several years—ever since
the threat of the boll weevil.
It is readily seen that the farmer
must go to considerable outlay to pro
vide the necessary storage in the change
to food crops.

by a Jackson Man Who

His Word Is Good.
Jackson, Miss. — “I am a carpenter,
and tile grippe left mo not only with a
chronic cough, but I was run-down,
wont out and weak. I took all kinds of
cough syrups but they did me no good.
I finally got so weak I was not able to
do a day’s work, and coughed so much 1
was alarmed about my condition. One
evening I read about Vinol and decided
to try it. Before I had taken a quarter
of a bottle 1 felt better, and after taking
two bottles my cough is entirely cured,
all the bad symptoms have disappeared
and I have gained new vim and energy.”
—John L. Dennis, 711 Lynch Street,
Jackson, Mis6.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because the active medic
inal principles of cod liver oil contained
in \ inol rebuilds wasting tissues and
supplies strength and vigor to the nerves
and muscles while the tonic iron and
wine assist the rod corpuscles of the

it through the system, thus restoring
