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 which followed the Russian - Turkish trouble, recognized the independence of Roumunia, Servia nnd Montenegro, en larged Bulgaria ur.d created the auton omous state of Eastern Kumelia.

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 ranks of the privateers.

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."

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.

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. NO REASON FOR IT You Are Shown a Way Out.

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 blood to absorb oxygen and distribute it through the system, thus restoring health and strength to the weakened, diseased organs of the body.
