Almost every report from Ilong
Kong make the loss to the enemy at
the battle of Manilla greater.
While the interest of the people is
absorbed in the war news the pol¬
iticians are laying their dirty schemes.
William J. 13ry;tn, late presidentia 1
candidate, bits accepted an appoint¬
ment tis colonel of a Nebraska reg¬
iment, of volunteers.
The Griffin News charges that Col.
Allen D. Candler favored a three and
a, half cent rate of interest per month
while in the legislature.
The Populists of 111 i noies haye
become disgusted with fusion. At
their state convention of May 17 they
refused all propositions from the
Democratic leaders, and put, a strong
ticket of their own in the field.
We hope the Augusta Chronicle
will not have the cheek to preach
peace and unity any moie, after en¬
dorsing editorially the action of the
Richmond county Democratic execu¬
tive committee.
The race between Col. Nesbit and
Senator Stevens for the Democratic
nomination for commissioner of ag¬
riculture is getting pretty warm. In
this county the contest will be close,
with the chances favoring Nesbit.
In Richmond county the Demo¬
cratic executive committee, by their
arbitrary rulings, have made it im¬
possible for the Populists to return
to the Democratic party should any
desire to do so. The following oath
will be administered to each voter
at the primary of June 6:
“I do swear that L am a Democrat
and affiliated with the Democratic
party in the last general election, and
that I will vote for and support in
the election all the Democratic nom¬
inees selected as a result of tills
primary.”
It will he seen from this that
Populists are not wanted in Demo¬
cratic primaries where tiie latter
party is in a majority. It is only
where their party is weak—in coun¬
ties like Lincoln and Columbia—
they desire recruits.

What a strange retribution our
brave American Admiral lias dealt
out to the Spaniard.
It would seem that the all wise
and powerful ruler of the universe
is following in the spirit and the
letter his decree which saith, “Ven¬
geance is mine.”
What a remarkable naval triumph
in the harbor of Manila. An entire
fleet sunk and hundreds of lives sac¬
rificed without the loss of a single
man the compiorers.
What a contrast; the American
fleet sailing boldly into what the
Spaniards said was the very jaws of
death and sending to the bottom of
the bay hundreds of victims to Span¬
ish pride and ignorance. Human
sacrifices upon the alter of Spanish
treachery.
Note the distinction, yet the simli
tude, between the two first events that
mark the loss of life and destruction
of property through the brutal in¬
humanity of Spanish tyranny.
Hi the harbor of Havamia upon
the placid waters of the bay floated 1
our royal ship, “The Maine,” our
president never foi one moment
thinking that the criminal instinct
of the Spanish brain could descend
so low as to murder the unsuspecting
seamen who peacefully slept amid
her decks.
But true to the nature of living
Imps of Hell, they stealthily, like
the midnight assassin, sought the
The second regiment of Georgia
co<er of darkness to fulfill the
of Snian.
On that memorable night the boas¬
ted chivalry of Spain by the destruc¬
tion of the Maine sounded the death
knell of its national doom, and as
the perpetrators of tins, the blackest
crime iti modern history, lost then
no one whe figured in that foul con¬
spiracy, so we lost no man oi that
avenging fleet, of justice that sweep
the. harbor of Manila with the de¬
vastating flames of an avenging
Nemesis.
This coincident is endeed marvel
ons. Has Hm world in all its history
ever witnessed so foul a crime fellow
ed so closely by such manifest retri¬
bution without the loss of a single
life. Is there an individual whose
bigotry is so dense that he would
question the justice of Divine mercy
us shown in this incident.—The
Assayer.

From Fairliaven (X. Y.) Register.
Mr. James Rowland of (his village

matism. A few nights ago she was

abotile wife
not approve, of the purchase at first,
but nevertheless applied the Balm

GOOD ADVICE.
When buying Monumental Work
it is well to first be assured of the
honesty and ability of the Dealer.
Patronize your home dealer if pos¬
sible. Avoid agents, as they are
unneccessary, and are an additional
exj ense. Be sure the contract, speci¬
fies what you want, and more certain
the work tills the contract before
paying. Remember there is no ex
ccnleuce without great labor, and no
great excellence without skillful
labor. You should therefore buy of
a proprietor who is a workman, The
