DIDN’T BORROW ANY HORRY.
After all that was sola in the Atlanta
papers about Governor Oandler going to
New York to borrow 8800,000 for the
state with whloh to pay the school
teachers, it now appears that there was
no foundation for the report—no truth
in the statement so positively made.
Governor Oandler returned to Atlanta
from his New York trip yesterday morn
ing, and to the Atlanta correspondent
of the Maoou Telegraph he is quoted as
saying that he did not go to the metrop
olis to borrow 1800,000, or any other
amount, for the state; that his business
to that city waa purely of a private
oharaoter. The Governor is farther
quoted as saying that the state does not
need to borrow any money at preeent,
and that if any is needed the state oan
negotiate a loan of $10,000,000 if that
ram is needed, and for a less rate of In-
terest than 8 per oent. Be also says that
Georgia has not reached the point that
she needs to borrow money, and that
should the time oome to do so he
will he able to borrow any amount
needed without having to go ont
of Atlanta to do so. The Governor
la further quoted by tho same corres
pondent as saying that tho sensational
artloles that have appeared In the pa
pers relative to differences said to exist
between him and the treasurer relative
to the use of the surplus in the treasury
for the payment of the sohool teaohers
of the State is more smoke than Are.
Now, this sounds more like the sens!
ble bnsinoaa man that we have always
taken Governor Oandler to be.
Bnt how abont the Atlanta newspaper
reports? What exonse or explanation
for the false alarm they have raised
with referenoe to the state's financial
affairs will they offer? Bnt a little in-
oonslstenoy or question of fact like this
doesn’t soom to worry the Atlanta news
papers. It has got to bo so -that news
paper stories originating In Atlanta are
like the war news that oame daily from
Mole St. Nioholas daring the Spanish-
Americsn war—they need confirmation
before oredenoe oan be given them.

And now Germany, if wears to judge
by tho tftteranoes of the Berlin news

nte exclusive control of the ounnl by tho

,, Says the Baltimore Nows: "A few
-years ago Grover Cleveland was do-
noun ted ns n socond Benedict Arnold
beoauso ho wanted to return a few oap-
tured.Confederate flags. Iu a few days

The Newark (N. J) Advertiser says
"The negro was given liberty and the
ballot at a time when he had no com
prehension of the nso of either, and
when he possessed no sense of responsi
bility. Bred, to dependonoo upon his
master, he natnrally turned in his new
freedom to dependonoenpon the govern
ment. His idea of liberty was absolute
freedom from toll and oare, under its
paternal protection and at its expense.
Every sensible man North and South
sees the mistake that was made in giv
ing tho political franchise to the vast
mass of blaok ignoranoo in the Sonth,
and that is why the restrictive laws
passed in Southern states to eliminate
the Illiterate blaok vote have the tooit
approval of Northern people, and hardly
exolte a protest iu the republican oou-
gress." r
The transport Roseorans 1ms landed
at San Franolsoo from Manila, having
as passengers five men who had been
deported by the military authorities at
Manila. Among them was Santiago
Maoeo, a son of tho -late Caban leader,
Antonio Maoeo. While in the Philip
pines Maoeo booame a first sorgeant of
the Mooabebo soonts. He was aoensed
of giving information to the Filipino
troops and was dismissed from tho army,
and because of the Bnpposed monnee of
bis presenoe in the island General
MaoArthnr. ordered his deportation.
Iu a letter to his father at Bpriugfield,
Mass., Frank Dellinger, a soldier serv
ing In the Philippines, bitterly de
nounces tho tompernuoo pooplo for hav
ing lu-onghs abont the abolition of tho
canteen. Deprived of beer nnd whiskey,
many soldiers aoenstomed to' drink have
tnkeu up tho vilo Filipino drink “beno”
ns n substitute. It not only physically
wrecks those win* drink it, hut iu many
instances makes them permanently in
sane. Dollinger cites oases where sol
diers have Igoue crazy from indulging
iu “beno.”
It is stated in dispatches from Wash
ington thus President MoKinloy intends
to make it dear to the Cuban delegates
that the United States cannot permit
the Caban government to sell bonds to
European capitalists. The sale of Cuban
bonds to Amorioan capitalists would, of
course, he quite a different thing. This
looks like .applying the Monroe doctrine
to finance.

HOIUH’B GOOD WORK.
Mr. P. J. Moran, of the Atlanta Con
stitution, is doing some mighty good
work for Georgia and those Inter
ested In developing the vest natural re
sources and the great poulbiUUea of the
state. He U hunting np the intelligent,
progressive and successful farmers of
the state and showing what can be done
by those who apply intelligence and or
dinary bnsinesB methods to agrionlture.
Die articles are to the point. He doesn't
deal In glittering generalities, bnt gives
foots and figures and the names of the
practical men from whom they are ob
tained and upon whose operations they
are baaed. Object lessons are thus fur
nished whloh are well calculated to en
courage others and whloh will, at the
same time, attraot attention to the foot
that farming In Georgia is a very profit
able business in Georgia for those who
apply business n ethods to It and give it
a chance. The fntnre wealth of Geor
gia depends upon diversified agrionlture,
and Mr. Moran la doing good work In
■howinir our own peoplo what a great
country they have and what their op
portunities are.
In the Commoner of the onrrent week
Editor Bryan gets after Editor Watter-
son with a sharp sttok. Among other
things, he says: "In a recent lssne of
the Oourier-Jonrnal Mr. Watterson,
that qnalnt and always interesting jour
nalist, advises his party to raise the
white flag and surrender to the Repub
lican party on the question of imperial
ism. He does not announoe that he is
oonvinoed of the righteousness of the
Republican position, bnt he exouees
himself by assuming that It Is impossi
ble to oombat the forces whloh seem to
bo behind the Republican party. He
admits that imperialism is an inno
vation upon Amerioan principles
and antagonists to the ‘teach
ings of earlier statesmen. "It
will :bo noticed that he adopts t(te
Republican theory that God Is responsi
ble for wbat we have done; that It Is a
matter of destiny, and that we are be
ing swept along by lnflnenoes over
whloh we have no oontrol. The doc
trine ennnoiated by the Republicans
since the Spanish war, and now in
dorsed by so great an editor as Mr.
Watterson, la not only dangerous, but
it is Immoral.
Gov. Allen D. Candler has returned
to Atlanta from New York, and makes
the statement, that the New York papers
interviewed him without letting him
know anything abont It. He says he
did not borrow any money for the State
of Georgia while-in the metropolis, and
did not discuss Southern polltloa with
newspaper reporters. In these days of
"progressive" journalism It does not
seem to he considered at all necessary to
see parties In person in order to Inter
view them. A reporter merely writes
out the desired interview according to
hiB own fxuoy, paying attention to the
known views of the party "interviewed”
or not, according to his fanoy.
The Philadelphia Inquirer thinks that
the principal trouble with President
Castro is that ho is in too mnoh of a
hurry to get rich. It says that "he has
a salary of $18,000 a year, and it is the
ourront belief in Caracas that ddring
the two years that have elapsed sinoe
ho established himself In the Presiden
tial office he has hived away something
like $8,000,000.” If he continues to
aoeumulate at this rate Mark Hanna
will be wanting to annex Venezuela
first thing he knowB.
The Philadelphia Times warns Gen
eral Miles not to let his presidential
boom got too big at this early date. We
don’t know whether the Times is really
a friend of the General or not, but if it is
it need not worry about his presidential
boom growing too fast, especially as It is
understood that he proposes to stand as
a Democratic candidate. Tho people cf
tho Sonth will have a finger iu tho
nomination of the Democratic candi
date, and they will never vote for the
man who put chains ou Jefferson Davis
while the latter was a prisoner of war
at Fortress Monroe.
Editor C'.ark Howell, of the Atlanta
Constitution, is to bt> one of the speakers
at the Grant birthday. dinner at the
Waldorf-Astoria on the 87th inst., and
Grant’s Life as a Peace Lesson" is the
toast to which he will be expected to
respond. The Herald has every coutt^
deuce in Mr. Howell’s ability, and he
is so well poised that wo have no fear of
his making a break, bnt we are never
theless oonstrained to warn nim that he
he is going to have to tread very tender
ground.
ANEW SUNG OF SOUTH GEORGIA'S
GREATNESS.
Editor Alien, of the Worth Local, has
developed the genlns of a poet. We
have known him lor a long time and
had never suspeoted him of anything of
the kind nntll he fired a verse at us, It
is good "hog, hominy and hay" poetry,
too. It oame like a thunderclap ont of
a clear sky.
They say that "poets are born," not
made. Now, we had always taken it
for granted that Editor Allen had been
born some time and somewhere abont
forty years ago, bnt until now we hod
never suspected that he was carrying
abont within hiB heart and head the lat
ent genius of a poet. But that’s what
he’s evidently been doing, as witness
the following from his paper of the
onrrent week:
Sugar cane and caaaava are all right, hut
"hog, hominy nnd hay" in still a good first-prin
ciple slogan for tho farmers of Southwest Geor
gia.—Albany Herald.

STILL NEGOTIATING.
That real estate deal between the
United States and Denmark has not
been deolared off os many were led to
believe by publications made some time
ago. Bat little oan bo learned abont It
in Washington, and all that has been
sent ont on the snbjeot from that quar
ter by newspaper correspondents has
been mere gness work. Bnt it now be
gins to look like we are going to get the
Danish West Indies. Aooordlng to a
Copenhagen dispatch, the two govern
ments are now nearer an agreement for
the purchase of the islands by the
i United States than ever before. The
'Danish government also ridlonles the
reiterated reports published in English
papers that peremptory oommnnioationa
regarding the sale of the islands have
beenreoeivedfrom the United States;
andtheoffloials are, said to be mnoh
impressed with the ” oordiality and
friendliness that the United States gov
ernment has shown throughout the ne
gotiations.
The Augnsta Herald the other day
printed a picture of Senator Olay whloh,
aooordlng to the Charleston Post, was
"a very exoellent likeness of Emilio
Agninaldo." The Post, therefore,
wants to know if it “oan be that sym
pathy for the Filipinos is having effeot
on the physiognomy of the Marietta
atatesmah." Was it, after all, the faoe,
or the hair that attracted the Post’s at
tention? Onr contemporary Bhonld
know that the pompadour Style is not
oopyrighted, and that Senator Clay
wore it before either Agninaldo or Jim
Corbett heoamo known to fame.—Sa

Japan expresses readiness to meet the
Bear in a fight to the death, and her en
tire sincerity is not to be donbted. Her
fleet is in a high state of efficiency, and
within twenty-four hoars after a declar
ation of war she could be engaged in
aotlve hostilities. Japan’s self-reiianoe
and supreme confidence in her ability to
take oare of number one make her the
admired of all the nations.

AGUISALDO’S MANIFESTO.
Those Amerioan admirers of Agni
naldo who have regarded him as a
statesman and patriot and have even
gone so far as to compare him to George
Washington are no donbt keenly disap
pointed in the address whloh he has
issued to the Filipinos.
The document is disappointing in
more respeote than one. In the first
plaoe, it does not measure np to what
might have been expeoted from a leader
who is animated, both in fighting for
his conntry and m laying down his
sword, by high principles of exalted pa
triotism.
But the most disappointing feature of
the whole manifesto perhaps is its syco
phancy and truoulenoe. In view of his
reoent post and of other -manifestos
issued by Agninaldo only a short time
before his oaptnre, his enlogy of the
American people and the "glorious
sovereign banner of the United States”

TEACHERS MUST WAIT.
After all the fuss that has been made
in Atlanta over the payment of the
puhlio sohool teachers, it now appears
that the teachers will not, at best, -get
their money until after June 15th. Gov
ernor Oandler has, npon investigation,
concluded that he oannot borrow $200,-
000 qr any other amount to pay the
teaohers now, because it oannot he
shown that a “casual defioienoy” exists,
and it will not be shown until after the
supreme conrt decides the case growing
ont of the refusal of the state treasurer
to use the public properly fond. If the
supreme oonrt decides with the state
treasurer, then there will be a casual
defiolenov, bnt if it does not there will
be none. The oonstitntlon only permits
the governor to borrow to meet a casual
defioienoy, so that in any event the
teaohers will have to wait until after
Jane 1 for their money.
It is to be notloed that whenever a
North Georgia superior conrt jndge
oomes downfinto {the wiregrass region
to hold oonrt he makes the lawyers and
ooort officers "toe the mark," delivers a
red-hot charge to the grand jury, cleans
np the dooket and applies the "new
broom” that "sweeps olean’’ to things
generally; and whenever one of onr
South Georgia judges goes np into the
mountains to hold court he does things
in very mnoh the Bame way. And this
suggests the idea that- it would be well
to have the judges change circuits more
generally than they do.
