Peace With Honor.

The substance of the resolutions adopt
ed by the Cotton Exchange and Board OF
Trade yesterday is that peace is desired
if peace can be had without any sacrifice
Of the nations honor. There Is a pretty
strong impression that there are hot
heads in Congress who would plunge the
country into war without good reasons for
doing so. and also that there are poliu-
clans there who are demanding war not
because they think good cause for war
exists, but because they hope to turn the
war feeling to political account.
Our trade bodies don't favor "peace at
any price" They would not favor peace,
great as the sacrifices are which the South
would have to make in the event of war,
if peace meant the yielding of any prin-
ciDle at issue or any demand the gov
eminent has made that is essential to
our honor or to the conspicuous position
we occupy among the nations of the
world. They asked Congress to stand by
the President in his efforts for peace be-
cause they have had evidence that he
does not want to involve the country in
a war unnecessarily, and because they
know that as the leader of the majority
party he could not afford to favor peace
unless peace could be maintained without
leaving in the minds of the people feel
ing that the government hadn't come out
Of the controversy with credit
There is a great difference between go
ing to war when the justice of the cause is
SO clear that there is no question about it
and when it is so much in doubt that
conscientious and thoughtful men differ in
regard Of it. When the justice
Oh the cause is beyond ques-
ton the people stand shoulder to
shoulder and make sacrifices willingly
When 1t is questioned the people critieise
and condemn the authors of the war. il
success is not instant and Overwhelming.
Here in the South there would have To
be great sacrifices if war should come
and 1t should be a long war. our depend-
ence is largely upon our foreign commerce
Ii that should be interfered with greatly
our people would become acquainted with
hard times. Still we do not find that
theIe Is any sentiment in any part of the
south that is against war under any cir
cumstanees. The resolutions adopted bv
our commercial bodies yesterday mean
nothing like that. If Congress should to-
DAY or tomorrow decide in favor of war
the South would be found ready to hear
her Ialr share of the burdens of il, and in
the army and navy her sons would make
records as glorious as those of the sons
OF any other section of the country.

The Character of the Message.

There appears to be considera bic doubt
as TO what the character of the President
message will be. Forecasts of il have
been published and they may be pretty
nearly correct. Still, there is a chance that
it will be a surprise to both Congress and
the country.
The prevailing opinion is that whatever
the message may contain the outcome of
the action which Congress will take in
regard to Ii will be war. The interviews
which we publish this morning with mem
bers of the Georgia and South Carolina
delegations show that the Democrats of
the House are in favor of recognizing the
independence of Cuba, even if the Presi-
dent doesn't recommend action of that
kind. The understanding is that the
President will recompend intervention in
Cuba with the view of putting a stop to
the war. 1t does not seem to be certain
that he favors recognizing the Cuban re-
public. The republic appears to be a
rather shadowy affair as yet But what
ever the President says and Congress does
the probabilities are that war will be the
outcome.
Spain has evidently chung to the hope
that the European powers would inter
vene and undertake to bring about a set
Element of the differences between her
and the United States. That hope was
practically destroyed by the refusal of
Great Britain to join the other powers.
Great Britain understands that the United
States would not regard interference by
European powers with favor.
1t is a question whether Congress will
act upon the Presidents message as soon
as 1t is read The committees may re-
port resolutions in harmony with It
promptly, but there is a probability that
there will be considerable debate.

A. to "Commony People.
From the Macon telegraph DemO.

We are glad that at least one man In
Georgia who is a candidate for public
Office has not fallen into the disgusting
habit of appealing to the common" peo-
pie. He very properly says that we are all
first-class in Georgia.
When the common" people are re-
ferred to it can mean nothing more OF
less than that they are plain and COM
mon as compared TO some other sort of
people who are not plain and common. In
Georgia we acknowledge no such distinc-
ton.
Judge Atkinson, at his meetings, calls
on those who consider themselves plain
and common to stand up. We understand
that so far, only one man has responded
and he is a man who stands for office oc-
casionally. We believe he holds one now.
Thus was illustrated the point which tina
judge was driving in
Georgians are not common people. They
are first-class.

The Berlin Post illustrates how utterly
Impossible it is for Continental Europe to
understand why a war should be waged
Tor the sake of sentiment 1T is doubt
ful, says the Post, IF the United States
at the Popes word would consent TO have
fat morsel torn from its grasp" The
European mind cannot conceive that we
do not want Cuba, and would not have it
if 1t were offered TO US. When Europe
goes to war it is for territory or money,
or both; and Europe thinks the same rule
must necessarily apply to us.

A powerful clique of Chinese politicians
is said to be after the head of Lii Hung
Chang. They accuse him of having be-
trayed his country to Russia for a money
consideration. The Emperor has been ask
ed to assert the honor and dignity of his
government by ordering the head of his
old and faithful servant to be struck off.
ii ought not to submit to any such en-
barrassing proceeding. He ought TO come
TO America and go on the lecture plat
form, or take assignments from one of
the yellow journals. He probably knows
enough horror stories to shock New York
once week for the remainder of his nat
ural life.

The first ironclad war vessel ever con-
structed was built at Antwerp in the year
1885. She was a queer-looking, unwieldy
old tub, which had to be abandoned as use
less shortly after she was ioated During
the course Of her construction she was
regarded as a most wonderful and formid-
able craft; so terrible, indeed, that she
was named the "Finis Beili," or the End

men have been building ironclad naval

COnSress' War,
Charleston News and Courier Dem.)

Charleston News and Courier (Dem).
1t is a pretty plain case, we think, that
If there Is a war it will not be because the
President has sought it, or because the
people or the business interests want &C.
or because the Spanish government or
Spanish people are forcing il on us. or be-
cause war Is necessary or unavoidable
but because the committee on foreign re.
lations think there should be a war ard
because a majority of congressman
agree withiit in that view. 1t win be. in
short. the committees war and Congress-
war. and there appears to be every reason
to believe that, in the absence of Congress
from Washington at this time, there would
be no war.

Judge Atkinson is inclined to depart
from the old proverb about the pen and
the sword. He admires the pen, but says
1t is very dangerous instrument, espe-
cially TO those who write political letters.
Indeed he hardly knows which is the more
dangerous, "a pen in the hand of a white
man or a razor in the hand of negro.
The Judge of course. was talking about
Col. Gamblers letter writing propensities.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The StupendOus Pension Fraud.
From the New York World Oem)

In 1890, twenty-five years after the end
of the war, there were 5S7, s44 pensioners on
the rolls.
In 1898, a third of a century after the
wars end, there are $4,000.
The pension appropriation for this year
was more than $140O0O,000, or more than
any European war establishment COSTS
Yet 1t is insufficient to pay the pensions,
and the secretary asks for $S,00O,000 more
What does all this mean? And if we are
to have another war where is it to end?
Why not abolish the pension attorney?
He is the rascal who has padded the rolls
for the sake of his miserable fees.
