ippines except where our troups have
gone by Mr.. McKinleys order, de
manding the unqualified "submis
sion of the inhabitants and their
unconditional recognition of our
sovereignty over the entire archipel
ego" From no one of thd islands
however savage it inhabitants, has
come any report of tribal wars, up
risings or anarchy. Commander
Ford says: "They have good
government which they are operat
ing successfully, and preserve law
and order. 1t may not be govern
ment up to the Ohio s9andard-that
of Cleveland at the present tima, for
example but it is more satisfacto
ry to the Filipinos than our military
rule would be. or they would not
fight so desperately and die SO
bravely for what they consider their
"unalienable right" to freedom and
independence.
So tnat the pretext of ''maint ain
ing order" falls with that of protect
the fruits OF conquest which we
have not made and If guarding
property which Spain had no power
to deliver to us.
What then is the object of this
costly and apparently endless war?
1t cannot be to secure the annexation
of the Philippines, for Congress
failed to declare such a policy and
the President said that "forcible
annexation is criminal aggression
Before this unauthorized, unnecessa
ry and un-American war progr esses
much fnrther some one in authority
ought to tell the American people
what it is for.

Why Not Two?

1t is understood that the new
brick store of OF b. w. Stras is to
be only one story. This is to be
regretted for several reasons, and
we hope Mr.. .Stras may yet reconsider
and put another story. Why man
of Mr.. Stras business foresight
should make such q mistake is
difficult to see. We recognize the
fact, however, that Mr.. Stras is doing
the building with his own money,
and he will probably say that it is
none OF our business.

Save the Orphans from Hunger and
Suffering.

This hard season reveals the
great work Orphans Homes are
doing for the public, for. they are
saving many little faces from the
pinching fingers of the cold, and
their bodies from hunger.
Grown men may stand suffering
but the little orphan who has not
even a pauper mothers arms of
love to wrap in tears our hearts.
Years like this show the size of
hearts.
This year many orphans who
have been cared for by poor rela-
tives and friends are laid beseech-
ingly at the doors of the Orphans
Homes, because they can hardly
keep the wolf of hunger from
their own little ones. Everyone
ought to read the piteous letter:
1.-TWO full orphans on the way to
the poorhouse, can't you save them
from it's infuences?" "Two
sweet children, both parents
in their graves, were kept in
the calaboose Christmas night
to keep them warm. /" Compare
them, cold, hungry, heartburn
CRY on Christmas night with your
happy, merry childrenl Thank
God, that they, with II other
such cases since Dec. 1, have found
the door of the Orphans Home at
Decatur wide openl
The pressure for admission is
an average of one a day since Dec.
1, and was 200 during last year.
There are now 1875 destitute ones
there. Gods children will see
that these Homes are built larger,
and that by money, boxes of pro-
visions and clothing, they are
enabled to love and bless the ah-
solutely destitute orphans. Jesus
said, 81 was hungry, we fed me. y

DEAR JOURNAL can't keep ST.
lent any longer; when the dear
old JOURNAL greets me every week
smiles in my face, and warns my
heart, my throat feels an "emo-
tional lump" as | read what good,
noble deeds are being done by the
citizens of Cobb county, and the
items of interest gathered by the
correspondents who locally en-
liven it's clean columns.
The Telephone Company puts it
in the power of the young sufferer
Thompson to enjoy the services of
the sanctuary; a grateful and ap-
preciative people give voice of love
over the grave of kind DR.. Greer,
than whom no people have a more
benevolent man; the amusing re-
marks of Cobb's scuppernong king
John Rogers; the spicy, just and
interesting facts and comments of
Smyrna's Ne. l correspondent;
the stately stepping of the old
bard of Nickajack; the social
and pleasant items given by
the JOURNALS wheelhorse and
friend, Amor; the helpful and
cheering items by Fund.-; the
news from Lost Mountain, Mable-
ton and all over the county.
These, and the many instructive
and really helpful articles weekly
to be found in the JOURNAL make
it a paper hard to do without, and
it's influence for good is so great
in it's agricultural talks with farm
ers that it is really a treasure, and
ought to be eagerly read by every
citizen of the county.
Now and then a letter in it's
columns from a lonely, far away
wanderer from the "old red hills
of Georgia greets us, and our
friendship and sympathies go out
to these former citizens of Cobb
county. Let us talk JOURNAL
and help it's devoted editors in
spreading it before the people.
When l see what Senator Clay
said: what social clubs met and
did in the service of man and Of
the Master; the criticisms, pro
and con, upon the solons of our
state, and the variety Of other
good things, | am eager for next
Thursday to come with it's Jour-
nalistic feast of good things.
Cobb and Floyd are banner
counties, and in my next | will
give some items from this county,
for it Is full Of facts worth know
ing, and encouraging to the busy
toilers in this busy era of the

MUSICAL TREAT.

We have it on good authority that
negotiations are under way for per-
Torrance in our scity about February
Goth by that pleasing musical organiza-
ton, The Schubert Symphony Club and
Lady Quartette. Many of our readers
have heard this popular company and
no doubt every one knows of the high
favor in which its eight years of sue
cess has placed it. Miss Mabel Della
ney, the brilliant soprano, LOWE Zendt
Purcell, the phenomenal contralto, and
that wonderful little child artist, Mas
ter Tommy, are still with the company.
The great variety and popular charac-
ter of this company's program has en-
deared it to the hearts of American
music-lovers, until to-day it stands I'M
doubtedly first in their affections.
Their new program is said to be the
best they have ever presented, and no
doubt their house will be large here if
they are secured for an entertainment.

Of idleness, of luxury, of self-in-

terry and falsehood-the life that
is called society" 1t is the very
worst training for self-reliance or
for the development of any of the
better and nobler traits of human

aspiration and endeavor and to
weaken every element of real

Port Said, Egypt, Jan. i, 1889.
Dear Mother-When I arrived at
this point received your letter; / was
truly glad to hear from you. We had
pleasant voyage, arriving here De-
cember %, sixteen and half days be-
ing consumed from Brooklyn, N. Y, to
this point. We passed through the
Strait of Gibraltar in the night and
therefore didn't get to see much. We
were in Malta on Christmas day, an is
land in the Mediterranean Sea, south of
of Sicily. wish you were here to see
the natives. They all wear dresses,
and can't understand their jabbering.
We will sail in the morning for Alden, a
port in the southern part of Arabia. 1t
will take six days to make the trip,
They say it is at the far END of the Red
Sea, close to the Strait of Badilmandeb
Don't be uneasy about me. 1 am all
right. Write every week. There are
$50 persons on board the Buffalo. Your
loving boy, JOHN G. MORRIS.
